I actually interpreted the reason Ellie ended up letting Abby go differently from you. At the very end, we get to see Ellie's last conversation with Joel. It ends with her saying "I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But I would like to try". Her hate towards Abby throughout the game is not just because she killed Joel. It's because Ellie is now haunted by the fact she never got the chance to forgive him and let him know that. She wanted to try but Abby took that from here. So what Ellie does? She goes on a rampage, killing everybody who stands in her way. She does horrible things and she hates herself for it. She is losing herself piece by piece but she keeps going because she remembers how Joel died. that's the only thing she thinks of throughout the game. At the very end, when she is drowning Abby, she remembers *THAT* conversation with Joel. She realizes that all she did after Joel died was exactly what Joel did for her. She understands him and why he did what he did and she realizes that she isn't different from him. So at that point, even if Joel died, she forgave him. With that forgiveness came her ability for mercy and she lets Abby go. She realized that she didn't have peace because she didn't get the chance to forgive Joel and not because Joel died. So with that, she goes back home, plays the guitar one last time, and lets Joel go.
This hits the nail on the head.
damn, that’s deep
This is the most convincing interpretation of the ending I've seen. I still don't buy that Ellie would've turned back after going through all of that and losing so much, and I wish they had actually telegraphed this through a conversation between Abby and Ellie rather than just interpreting it.
Honestly, both interpretations are absolutely perfect. Thanks for opening my eyes to something new
@@harrytucker6720 You gotta remember. People don't do everything for an end goal. People change. Also not everything needs to be said directly to your face for you to understand. The ending of the first Last of Us was not telegraphed. The game didn't explicitly said you that Joel saved Ellie bc he lost his daughter and didn't want to lose another daughter but you felt it
Till this day this game still sticks with me. I think about it every once in awhile, seriously one of the most immersive games I’ve played
Play it again man!
@@FloridaHog87 I do! Currently tryna complete grounder

True
I’m so excited to see how this story ends.
You either love the game with all your heart like some of us or hate it with all your soul. It's impossible to be critical because the only thing that the story focuses on is feelings. Nothing is objectively right or wrong in this adventure. It is physically impossible to talk about it without being biased. THIS is why the game is a masterpiece to me. It causes so much discussion, debate and disagreements because of the balls it had.
You clearly misunderstood something, we don't hate the story, we simply just didn't enjoy the story because it wasn't good. We hate how Neil treated the critism. How he manipulated the trailers.
@@maestercraig3990 I'm not gonna read your novel sorry, I already said what I have to say. We didn't hate the story we hated how he treated and shut down people and abused dmca, and how he lied in the trailers.
@@maestercraig3990 okay I read it and most of what you're saying is straight up lies. Even if he only did take down videos that were hateful that's still abuse of dmca, but it wasn't the case he took down everything where tlou2 was mentioned. Get a fucking grip and go outside if you cant handle that someone has better taste than you and expects a little bit more than good graphics.
Please upload a picture of your collection of ND games, your trophies, im pretty sure I'll beat you. You're not a fan you're just someone who bought his first game from ND and missed out on what they used to make. What they used to make was gold. This is shit. I'm out. Write another novel filled with lies to someone else.
Also you're talking about someone who shouldn't have an opinion that's true some people had an agenda to hate on it just to hate on it, you're not referring to the real fans like me not everyone hated on it just to hate it but it seems you are to stupid to understand that.. You're just stupid really.
@@maestercraig3990 it also had 10/10 reviews before anyone could have complete it, I mean youre so full of shit. God damn you turned everything in to fit to your narrative. Without mentioning all the facts.
@@maestercraig3990 All you're saying is simply not how it happened - the game got 10s and 0s within hours of the release - so saying it got bombed but it only can happen one way is just idiotical. the ones leaving a 10 score when you possibly couldn't have completed it is the same as leaving a 0 score.
"Those who weren't open, let their extreme bias & stupidity rob them of a great experience."
I didn't do that and i didn't enjoy it. heck i didnt even see the leaks for one reason alone i had waited 7 years for a sequel and i wasn't gonna let some leaks spoil that.
You saying that there are more haters who just hate it simply just to hate it, than there are more people like me who genuinely didnt enjoy it is just absurd. you don't know that. but to make you sleep better at night that's what you tell yourself.
And the fact you're ok with the DMCA Abuse tells me your a kid, because its not illegal to talk about a game online that hasn't come out, but its illegal to abuse the DMCA system. so you justifying that is very disgusting.
You saying "Abuse DCMA? How about abuse of Metacritic, Twitter, Memes, videos, comments & the general " what earth do you live on? you're allowed to do that, youre trying to justify one with the other when simply there are no connection between them whatsoever,
It's not illegal to leave a bad review, or make a meme or talk about leaks online, so maybe stop trying to justify the dmca abuse with this, it's a really bad example.
But what annoys me the most is you're basically doing the same as neil druckmann, shutting down valid criticism, with political bias, to you it simply can't be that someone genuinely didn't like it, it has to be deeper than that it must be haters who thrive to hate, and loves cancel culture and have an extreme bias, so yes i can say you have bad taste when you can say that people who didn't enjoy it are just saying it to be a hater :).
Its so ironic that this game has a core theme of understanding people that do things you don't like or can't understand, and yet, the community, both lovers and haters, can't seem to understand eachother.
That's because most people don't look at this game from the characters eyes. They look at it from THEIR perspective, which is a person sitting down in their home, playing a video game. Which is why most people wanted Ellie to kill Abby. They didn't, and probably don't, really care about the effect such a thing would have on Ellie, they only care that they, the character player, would get to see a person they don't like suffer. It's that kind of close mindedness and entitlement that leads me to believe that Joel and Ellie's "fans" don't really care about the characters as much as they say they do. I didn't care for Joel or Ellie, but I knew the mental consequences of her decisions and I didn't want her to keep spiraling down this path; all it ends up with is Ellie staring down the barrel of her own gun. I imagine Joel would not have wanted his little girl to go on such a reckless path of vengeance either, certainly not on his behalf; he knew what kind of man he was and he knew where that path lead. And I find it funny and sad that so many of the LoU "fan base" wanted Ellie to go through with this path and how little they truly empathized or sympathized with Ellie's condition.
God, I see people constantly shitting on this game. Sometimes, I end up in a debate with someone about it. And this one time I was debating with someone and had found common ground, another fan of the game chipped in. But instead of adding onto the discussion, they insulted the other persons opinion, and said that they were basically sheep for “basing their opinion of off mainstream pizzagate UA-camrs.” and that their opinion “wasn’t theirs.” And now I understand why both sides discredit each other. Because the bad apples on each side makes each side think that the bad apples are the norm. This shit happens in politics too.
Jesus Christ, this game turned the gaming community into politics. Truly an apolitical gem of a game /s
@@midasthestallion4105 You worded this better than I ever could. That's what I struggled to explain to so many people who claim to be big fans of Joel and Ellie but completely fail to understand this sequel. Any attempt I took at trying to make them see what this game is all about just resulted in name calling and hateful bashing because I dared to try defend this game.
@@davidrondon3454 well feel free to use those words, my man! That's why we're all here. It's funny because the Resident Evil franchise had a similar divide when RE6 came out. The difference is that we respected each other's opinions and listened to what everyone had to say. Why? Because we all considered each other RE Fans; didn't matter if we liked the game or not. And when we disagreed, we were amicable and simply spoke with our wallets. We didn't make death threats, didn't shit on Capcom and we didn't piss all over each other, effectively fragmenting our own community. We gave each other respect. One of the biggest things this game did was show just how "nice" and "understanding"the LoU fan base is, especially towards the people who worked hard on the game. I'm not asking people to like this game, I'm simply wondering why people just can't respect each other and be civil. Honestly, I'm not sure the fan base deserves another game if this is how they act.
As much as i ADORE this sequel and fully understand the story they were trying to tell as well as wishing more people saw it the same way, there's a sorta beauty to how evenly people react to the game and what its about (perspectives and hate and stuff)
This game hit me like a freight train. It perfectly showed how a grieving person is affected by loss, and it’s my favorite game because it hit close to home.
It hit me like a golf club
Yess, this is what makes this game outstanding. Because they potrait the reality of humanity.
@@Outward-im3fsyeah imagine if ellie and tommy died in the third game hmmm imagine but it wont happen
Right?
I didnt find it that realistic honestly
this story doesn’t sugar code at all how ugly the world can be in the face of desperation
This is ALL that the producers were trying to show
Sugar code?
But the gaming community is mostly a bunch of idiots who don't have the braipower to get the message.
@@brutallyhonest123 But video games like last of us convey realism and when we immerse ourselves into those elements, we are taken by the emotions in which the producers are trying to convey.
@@Recon-cv1fe besides the ones who quit because they couldn’t stand what they were making
The best thing about this game is the soundtrack, holy hell is it gorgeous
It’s my favorite
The soundtrack is really really good, its just perfect
The soundtrack of this game is beautiful but for me the theme song from the last of us I is superior (not by far) and that is just because i almost always cry when i hear that and when i remember the story and the feeling i had when playing it
@@bluecirlce i know exactly what you mean, this special feeling of tlou1 soundtrack. But for me TLoU2 soundtrack is very special too, i couldnt choose what is better
The cheats in the extras menu are also gorgeous LoL
This Has to be one of the most impactful games I’ve ever played just underneath red dead two it’s certainly going under my list of most favorite games ever
Same here
i agree
I also agree with you mate Finished last of us 2 yesterday and wow. Really enjoyed it
Red Dead 2 and The Last of us 1 and 2 are my favourite and most memorable games...Witcher 3 is great too...
@@stefanhell3521 Couldn’t get into Witcher three, I tried playing it but I felt like a bit of a to complicated game to play. Also I feel like I’m just not into those types of games with all these fantasy themes and what not.
I don't think a game has ever affected me more that The Last of Us Part II. It truly moved me in so many ways
Edit: Please respect other's opinions guys
yh you probably didn't play the first game
@@milad2468 i played the 1st...i got really affected after playing it...but part2 took emotionnal things to another level...it is absolutly fantastic
@@pedroantunes6652 yh I bet it got really emotional when you started to play as Abby right after she killed Joel
@@milad2468 that sentence proves that you don't have the emotionnal or intellectual level to understand this game. Plus it shows that you are only looking for confrontation and not a real debate. So i'll end the conversation here
@@pedroantunes6652 all I play are story game and all I care about is a good story. but you say that the game is all good and that but you don't provide anything the backup your claim??
Also Joel’s words to Ellie, when he said if somehow the lord gave me a second chance at that moment. He would do it all over again, reminded me of what Glenn told Maggie on the Walking Dead. Is that I rather have you hating me and alive, over you liking me and dead. That’s basically what Joel was telling Ellie in that moment. He’d much rather take the hate he gets from Ellie, but she is still alive. Over her being dead in any capacity.
That was a great line but it was something I think it took Joel a long time to accept himself. When he lied to Ellie for two years he was trying to avoid paying the cost for his choice back at the hospital (losing Ellies love). I think Joels lies hurt Ellie as much as his actions at the hospital and poisoned all her happiest memories of their relationship. In their final conversation, Joel has a choice. To apologise to Ellie for what he did to try and win her back (which would be lying to her again) or accepting the cost and saying he would do it all again to save her even if it means losing his most precious thing (his relationship with her). I think it was him finally being honest that let her move on and attempt reconciliation even though she still disagreed with what he did. Remembering this conversation eased Ellies guilt over his death as it means Joel died knowing she still loved him.
What I noticed about Ellie letting Abby go is that she possibly stopped the cycle of revenge that would have happened if Lev found out she killed Abby.
So glad there's lots of people here that loved this game. It's the only game that I think about even when I'm not playing it because the story is so powerful. Think it sparked off just about every emotion in me - including a few tears here and there.
Same here lee.
Now that's the title I wanna see whenever I search last of us 2,
I am so tired of why it's hated or criticized or bad or trash.
I was terrified going into this game for the first time, being fully aware of the backlash and hate surrounding it.
And then I played it and I’ve never been so confused, I just kept asking myself “Am I playing the same game?”
@@ryanhowe6543 did you not play the first?
You’re gonna tell me how wrong I am, aren’t you?
@@ryanhowe6543 no I loved it, i was just wondering if you played the first one
Oh. My bad. I wouldn’t have minded if you didn’t like the game, I was more worried about being told “you’re dumb ass wrong, this game is trash”
Yeah, of course I’ve played the first
I love both
But to say which is the better game is...debatable, even I’m not sure which
i subscribed to you because you’re so down to earth, you’ll voice your opinion no matter what and you’re real. you don’t see that a lot on the internet. keep being you bro i hope success comes your way in whichever way you want it to! :)
Thanks for these kind words Alex. It’s truly a humbling experience seeing people like you appreciate the work I put into this and where I try to focus my content in. Being positive and respect to others is surprisingly hard in these platforms, because what thrives is controversy, drama and hatred, and to be honest, I sometimes doubt what I try to do will ever attract great human beings, but people like you remind me that not all is bad. I hope to bring bigger and better content for you guys in 2021. Thanks for the support 🔥🙏🏼
Well done video. You hit it right on the head when you said that people didn’t like it because it wasn’t the story that they wanted. They just don’t understand that it’s not their story to tell. Bravo .
The feeling of just wanting Ellie to move on and go home was so strong at certain points like when she was torturing Nora, when Jessie went to go find Tommy and *ESPECIALLY* after Abby let her go. I was saying to myself, “this is it,” and instead Ellie left everything behind to go after Abby who could’ve killed her before. And now she’s doing alone??
It was crazy to see that she was just as devoted to revenge as Abby was at the beginning, and Abby was just as tired of it as Joel seemed to be. But like Joel, Abby was at the mercy of those she had wronged. The parallels between Abby and Joel were done really well, with her having a personal redemption upon meeting a child that she actually could protect, like she promised she would her father...the same way Joel had his humanity restored when he fell in love with Ellie and promised he’d protect her like Sarah. And that ending fight was so hard to stomach, because I finally started caring about Abby (never more than Ellie or Dina though) and so to see her so close to death, fighting only to save Lev, you really get the feeling that she would go as far to save Lev as Joel went to save Ellie. The fact that Ellie never knew why Abby wanted to kill Joel really struck with me too. You see how much Joel’s act of selfish love hurt both of them, not just those in his way but innocent bystanders AND the person he convinced himself he did it for. I really can’t wait for a TLOU3 but I really hope it’s less polarizing, and does give in and finally show us a good, wholesome ending. This series deserves to be as loved by everyone else as I love it, and almost more than that I just need more of this universe.
Well said 🙌🏻
How confident are you there’ll be a 3rd game & what narrative explorations do you think the Devs will take?
@@s_ade9969 I’m not confident at all. As much as I think this universe is one that should never die and the characters that remain (still think Jessie should’ve been one of them) deserve more story-I don’t think the reception of the last game was what they wanted. I think there’s a world where a Tlou 3 doesn’t happen because of how much criticism they had. I mean, building the first game from the ground up instead of giving us DLC isn’t a great sign. Idk what it’ll be about though because you have two characters who both are at interesting parts in their story, but it would be a difficult sell for them to get together. Lie it’s one thing for Ellie and Abby ti forgive each other but it’s another fr them to become friends. So I think you stick with Ellie who’s an icon by this point, and the story’s really about forgiving yourself and moving past trauma. In the first game, Ellie is waiting to die at the end of all of it. She didn’t want to survive the surgery, and was sort of hoping she wouldn’t. In the second game Ellie does forgive Joel, and even Abby but when she looks back there’s one hell of a trail of blood. She lost Dina (for the moment, she’ll be back I hope) Jessie died, Tommy lost an eye and his peace-a lot of shit happened to people around her and there’s still Tess Sam Henry and Riley from the first game. I think at this point the survivors guilt she was feeling has to be at its breaking point. So I think she’ll set out to right her wrongs, first with Dina and then with Tommy, and eventually with another shot at the cure where she’ll by the end of the game realize that saving the world isn’t her burden to carry. That the only people she owes her life to are the people that love her, and the best way to honor them isn’t by sacrifice but by living life fully. Idk, something like that. Whatever it’s about I want more of it.
@@stanleylee3329 I'm about 90% sure that they will make Part 3, but ultimately, I think it's entirely in Neil Druckmann's hands. *After all, he is responsible for the creation of games that have sold over 65 million units (and that number is likely to rise sharply as it took ~5 years for **_The Last of Us_** to sell 10 million units, while the sequel took just 2 years to reach the same milestone), and which have collectively made Sony and Naughty Dog BILLIONS (I mean, **_Uncharted 4_** alone had a profit of over $1 billion USD).* And that's not even counting the other, extremely-profitable intellectual property associated with these games (including a moderately-successful feature film, and one of the best television shows EVER CREATED).
Given all of this success, I'm confident that Sony has learned to trust his instincts. Remember, he pitched them a game in which the player:
1) Watches Abby, (who was a new, unfamiliar character) brutally kill Joel Miller, arguably the most beloved video game character of the 21st century with a golf club to the skull;
2) Controls Ellie, another extremely popular character as she becomes an equally-vile monster while seeking revenge for this heinous act;
3) Becomes Abby (a hated character at this point), and plays her redemption arc for almost half of the game;
4) Has to fight as Abby (who we still hate, to varying degrees) against Ellie (who we still love), and nearly beat her to death;
5) Has to fight as Ellie against Abby, and nearly beat HER to death before letting her live, and ultimately NOT avenging Joel's murder.
The only way that this story could be more INSANELY RISKY is if you were forced to beat Joel to death with the golf club yourself while playing Abby (can you imagine?). But Sony essentially said "yes, we want this game, here have $100 million, let us know if you need more." Therefore, I have to conclude that if Druckmann can write a story that he believes in, something that is beautiful and compelling, and which brings this franchise to a truly epic conclusion...the game *will get made.*
The Last of Us Part II is a masterpiece. Everything about it is amazing. The soundtrack, the story, the graphics, this game has stuck with me for months on end, unlike other games I’ve played.
Last of us 2 sucks
@@kimjongun3146 ok
I’m glad that they didn’t end it with Ellie and Dina on the farm. Because even though it was happier, it wouldn’t have been consistent with the character Ellie and her ark. Because Abby got her redemption and came full circle from revenge to forgiveness, Ellie didn’t have that yet. This game is consistent. Last of us isn’t about happiness, but hate it or love it, can’t deny it’s consistency. That’s important. The story has integrity, rather you like it or not. Liking it or not doesn’t matter. What matters is it’s story. Story comes first with its respected characters. Audience comes second. In the words of Hideo Kojima, “betray your audience.” Never pander to the audience to seek their gratification and satisfaction. Let your work speak for itself, not the audience.
Why did Dina have a stereotyped nose? 😐
@@SaltyMaltyMo not sure what you mean by that? The face model is based on an actual person not the voice actor.
I gotta disagree with you on the consistant part. There were so many times things were not consistant with the character.
There were two bits of the story that still needed told at the farm. 1) Ellies fight with Joel at the dance (which shows she is driven by guilt thinking those were her last words to Joel) and 2) Their actual final conversation (letting her remember that by wanting to try a forgive him, she had shown him she still loved him and he died knowing she still loved him). I think guilt drives her to leave the farm and remembering the last conversation lets her spare Abby and in a way, Joel saves her one last time as I believe killing Abby would have destroyed her.
They literally changed the story from the first one, making the Doctor the good One when he wasnt at all
honestly I really liked last of us part two I can agree why people say it's not the best because of what the story is like but I enjoyed the game but I can say with certaintie that last of us the first one was definitely the best by far I played it on ps3 and really enjoyed the remastered on ps4
It may sound silly, but I think about this game every day, and how it affects me, and the feelings I feel every time I play this game every time without fail always is the best game I've every played
Me as well. I can’t wait until I go to my friends house, so I can play through it again.
I couldn't careless what people think about this game,I was so pumped when I was playing tlou2, it's the best game I've ever played
Same
I thought God of war was the best ever, this is 5x better
This is my my game of the generation
Great video, I don't know what else I can say about this game that I haven't. It just gave me a sense of sadness, happiness and satisfaction that few games have given such as TLOU, Last of us left behind and the Witcher 3 have given me.
Tlou2 is a masterpiece
My one complaint about the game is that abbys section felt like it took FOREVER, other than that I loved it
Same, on my first play through I just wanted to get past it so it felt so long
I agree Abby's section dragged a bit, and I really wasn't keen on having to fight Ellie, but Abby's section also had some incredible moments.
Easily my GOTY and top 5 all time.
@@smurphftw2008 I’m the opposite! I feel like Ellie’s section dragged. Day 1 in Seattle was so long! The search for oil and getting to the seravina for nothing add into that the spiral into the darkness and it becomes a hard play through for me.
I have like 3 problems with the game:
1. The Abby vs Mel stuff kinda went nowhere. It starts with Mel finding out Owen had sex with Abby and ends with her and Owen dying. If you removed that, the game wouldn't change that much.
2. The museum scene with Ellie and Joel should have been the intro.
3. Both Ellie and Abby's sections were a little too long.
Other than that, the game is a masterpiece in my opinion
It's about the same length as Ellie's story
I just finished it ... and i can see why it got game of the year
Can’t wait to play it
@@soniablake7355 gameplay is great, you are going to have fun 👍
Then you're a fucking moron!
@@Perx51 no they won't dumbass
It won game of the year because the game awards are rigged dumbass
Ok but can we talk about Owen? That guy deserved better ...
I mean looking back he was part of the few if not the only who realized that the war was pointless and that still believed in kindness and hope. He was trying to do the best for others even tho he didn’t like to see all the anger and revenge in Abby but still was trying to help her bc he felt that it was the right thing to do and unfortunately that got him killed. He was truly a “nice fresh air” in the game.
Owen got done dirty. But that’s the world of the last of us. No one is save
Owen was a necessary sacrifice unfortunately. Between still being in love with Abby and having a baby with another girl as well as Abbys life heading in a different direction he didn't fit in anymore, same with Jesse.
Yup... both Owen and Jesse...
I like the game but if there is one thing I would like to change, it is the event at 10:29 where Ellie kills Owen and Mel should have happened after the perspective change. The most dragging part of the game for me is the getting to know Abby’s friends part with all the info dump. Maybe without knowing the fate of Mel and Owen while playing as Abby, I would have been more invested in getting to know them.
Factions 2 will end the hatred and bring us all together
Hopefully 🙏🏼

The thing is, if this game wants you to know that revenge is bad then why doesn’t Abby get punished at all for her revenge? If anything she might get rewarded for her revenge quest.
She does get punished. All of her friends die.
If you view this game only for 'revenge is bad' or say 'story is trash' then I recommend to play game again or try understand perspective of those characters.
I think a lot of people miss understood the point of game and don't connect points too much.
Personally I didn't enjoyed story that ND give to us, but when people say it's bad written story then I just want to shoot myself.
Too many gamers want disneyland stories and this is not one of them. That is why i like it.
I think people don't know the difference between plot and story. the plot of part 1 was ending a pandemic that took over the world by escorting Ellie. The story however was the relationship that developed between Joel and Ellie by the end and the lengths Joel went to to save her. In part 2 the plot is revenge but that is not the story etc.
Exactly, the story is really about 3 people and forgives, Ellie forgiving herself, Ellie forgiving Joel, and Ellie forgiving Abby
@@dangdang4334 she didn’t forgive Abby she just let her go because that is what Joel would’ve wanted. She could never forgive Abby what she put her through.
@@dangdang4334 It wasnt even that, She didnt forgive abby nor Joel, She just gave up because she was tired, also the whole point of the first was that the real cure was humanity, not the vaccine, and they totally dehumanized all the characters in the 2
I just dont Think The world was ready for this game. Thats really sad, for The game is so.. i dont Think there is a Word for it. Its just so.. It makes me feel angry, emotional, ugly crying and really happy like no game ever have made me feel.
This game is so human to me. Its so grounded in aspects of what make our species the absolute worst and good at the same time.

@@MrYuleyule We hate that he died in the most tasteless way possible at the beginning of the game due to a terribly written confrontation. The game ignores the moral ambiguity, light, and love in the first game. Or how violent scenes feel like they were only used for shock value and ends up being gore p*rn esque. And shits on all of our beloved characters so that the new characters (that are usually almost immediately unlikable) can get all the attention instead.
whenever i try to explain how great and deep this game is, i get lost in words. the complexity is just overwhelming. hate it love it, but appreciate the depth of this game. the writers, actors, developers and the other people involved in the process of creating, thank you! you put so much detail and love into this game, i cannot believe it.
I really sympathized with Abby in this game. When I was young at 11 years old the police showed up at my doorstep reporting that my father had been killed in a mugging. My mother fell into a deep depression and stopped really caring for me. The guy who did it got a few years for some stupid fucked up reason. I spent 15 years full of hatred fantasizing everyday what I wanted to do to this guy. I was obsessed with the thought of it and couldn’t get it out of my mind. My hatred for this killer consumed me. After my mom died from cancer, I had nothing else to lose. Eventually I found out where this person lived so I put a camera outside their house for a week. By this point they had a family I noticed but I didn’t care, I had dedicated far too much of my life in the pursuit of revenge to turn back at that point. I was too obsessed with revenge. Once I found out his schedule, I waited for him to pull out his car out from the driveway. Then I walked up to the car, knocked on the window, and unloaded the entire thing into his chest with a suppressed pistol (I’ll leave out the incriminating details for obvious reasons). There were no witnesses and I was long gone before anyone even noticed. I made sure there were no cameras or anything and shaved out the barrel of the gun so there would be no way to tell what gun was used. By this point I was so far removed from this guy’s life that I wasn’t even a suspect. I moved countries shortly after just to be safe. I was planning on moving anyways. I felt relieved after but also just empty. Now I can move on with my life though.
woah
Damn..
I can’t find anyone on UA-cam other than this guy that really understood the game
Nice
You’re not alone! A lot of us here understood this game.
Absolutely agree with you! This game is about consequences, not revenge. It made me feel scared, angry, happy, sad, I cried like a little bitch.. and when art provokes that on me, it's when I really like it! I wish Joel wasn't dead, or Abby's father as well, but because it happened, in such a horrific way, this master peace came to life! Amazing, best game ever made.
I can see why people love this game maybe we will understand it the future and it might it age well who knows. Also this is the only game that plays the crap out of my emotions and feelings and i gotta give credit for that.
Yeah you right but it doesn't make too much sense and it's pretty depressing. It still is nice though
Both games will always be a huge part of my life in gaming. I have never felt such an emotional connection with a story and it’s characters in any other game like I have with The Last of Us. Great video man!
bro at the end when your drowning abby not only did ellie regret everything but the player regreted what they did even though it was forced onto them they still regreted what they did ellies actions made the player realise what they had done was wrong in every way joels actions were gonna catch up to him and he knew it he said to abby to hurry up with your speech and get it over with he knew that him and ellie was gonna end but he dosen’t regret it at all the time he got with ellie even though for his actions it should have been way shorter for him but the time he got was enough for him and he said while talking to ellie on his porch that if he has a second chance he would do it all over again okay imagine if abby and lev were the main characters of the first game but abby kills joel hear me out and ellie meets abby and owen tommy is owen and ellie kills abby and makes lev watch we would Hate ellie if abby was the main character of the first game if she got the same journey joel did lev is immune this time so thats the reason we would hate ellie because of the character swap and lev would do the whole journey in part 2 but let ellie live we would hate ellie and hate the ending still we only hate the original story now because we grew with joel if we grew with abby the whole thing would be the same everyone would hate ellie and not care for her perspective and thats what it boils down to
Perspective look at my comment imagine both games but with how my characters are the whole thing would be the excat same everyone would still hate the game because of the story not the characters so next time you play dont hate abby its the story you hate not the characters
I've finished this game 3 times now and each time it feels like someone's ripping my heart out. 🥲
I will never be able to play this game for the first time again.
The one thing I think people don’t realize, and could’ve been conveyed better, is one of the big underlying reason for Ellie not killing Abby-the way it happened. Now, Ellie had killed a lot of people in a variety of brutal ways, But there was something different about the way she was going to kill Abby. If you played the first game you’ll remember the first time Ellie ever took life was when Joel was dying in the hotel. Up to this point Joel never trusted her, especially with a gun. Yet when he is being drowned in the hotel she shoots the man that was going to kill him. It’s the first time she’s ever taken a life, and it’s also the first time they actually develop the relationship that they cherished the most in their lives. And so when Ellie is drowning Abby, I think she realizes that Abby is the Joel to someone else. And she forgives Abby because she finally forgives Joel.
That... That made so much sense...
Finally. Someone who understands what this game was trying to convey. Your down to earth persona really makes this video great. Amazing video man!
Most of the people actually got the game. Some just don't like it. But many love it.
@@halloweenjack95 some like it, many hate it
@@reallyhimongod most people love it, but it's the few that hate it that bitch and moan and cry about it on the internet all the time because they think Naughty Dog was somehow obligated to give them an exact carbon copy of TLOU1 with aged up characters and updated graphics being the only changes.
Most people that love a game simply say
"Damn; that game was amazing"
And move on with their lives.
People that hate it though keep crying and bitching and letting the game live rent free in their minds all day every for nearly a full year after the fact now
@@dangdang4334 my biggest complaint with the game isn't actually anything about the game but rather the fact it destroyed my square button. I couldn't use in the game or outside of it because it ruined my silent take downs and I could barely look at my trophies because of it.
I do have many faults with this game but this one bothers me the most because I bought the game for $30 used and now I have to buy another controller for $40 and that actually hurts than any golf club tbh.
i felt everything this game presented me when i played it. This game will be revisited as a masterpiece as time goes on.
Needed this video. LOVED the game
Hell ya brother
@@iSmeeaa yeee yeee
For real
At least Joel knew that Ellie would eventually forgive him before he died now he can rest, and be with his other baby girl
I was spoiled way back in April, but I still wanted to experience the story ND wanted to tell. I love this game, the game play is epic as always, the story really challenged me to get out of my own bias towards Joel n Ellie. Plus seeing how Joel’s action rippled into Abby’s origin was cool. Plus the soundtrack was superb as usual. The more hate TLOU2 got, the more I wanted to play it.

this game truly changed my life & i know it might be weird for a game to have such an impact but it really did. the characters, the storytelling, the relationships, the gameplay, the environment, the concept art, the soundtrack - everything about it is genius
It is not perfect and yes story have some things you may or may not like. Nevertheless it is an extremely engaging game that permeates, gets under your skin. And I am not even talking about graphics, gameplay, extreme production values, and so forth..Just play in grounding difficulty and do not ruin it with easier game play elements unless you are a rookie gamer.
The last of us community is basically Scars vs WLF
Ain't that the truth
A lot of scars are out of TLOU community.
It’s more like Elllie vs Abby. Ellie are the fans who are aggressive and sending death threats. Abby are the fans who can look past the negatives
This game is such a masterpiece. A story that'll be by my side for the rest of my life. What I'd give to experience it again for the first time, even the first one back in 2013 ♥️
The last of us 2 haters only want the game to go under even though they can’t see that some people like the game so their first instinct is to try to convince that Tlou2 supporter to hate and trash the game. It’s pretty petty like god, If you don’t like the game then that’s fine but don’t just try with your two brain cells to make someone else hate the game Just let them enjoy it.
I’m a last of us part 2 supporter. Fight me ;)
If you played the first game you would understand why people hated the second game
I agree 100%. It's petty at this point. I've seen many fan polls where it won best game (ign and the golden stick awards). Plus it was leading at the fan game awards before a late push by last of us 2 haters for ghosts of tsushima to win
I like how you said "fight me" but no one is doing it.
I hated abby at the start of the game when she killed Joel. At the end of the game, I cared about this character abby.
Beautiful game, in my opinion, has become my favorite one, this is my list:
1. Tlou 2
2. Rdr 2
3. Tlou
4. Uncharted (Saga)
5. Gow 4
6. Spiderman PS4
7. Horizon Zero Dawn
8. inFamous Second son

Put RDR and a bunch of cods there and it's my list.
similar to my list, tho it looks like u havent played Ghost of Tsushima, u should
Witcher 3? Haven't played cyberpunk yet but i hear beyond the bugs.. It isn't solid
Really sick content man 👌 just finished this game and don’t really understand the extreme hate it receives, like yeah some bits of the game could have been done better but it’s still just such a solid game and goddamn it plays with your emotions so well
I really love this game, Ellie’s section in Seattle was incredible. At first it was slow but as soon as the fight at the elementary school kicks off it’s amazing from then on. But I do not like Abby, and it’s not even because she killed Joel, it’s more of the way she killed Joel, if you look more into the things Ellie and Abby do, you will clearly see who is the better person. It is absolutely Ellie. Every time Ellie kills one of abbys friends, she clearly doesn’t want to. All she wants is information on Abby. She only kills them because they make her. Ellie asks Nora where Abby is, Nora decides to insult Joel and torment Ellie and then hit her over the head and run. Ellie catches up in the end. Nora will become infected and Ellie asks again and says if she tells her she will kill her quickly, Nora still refuses, so Ellie has to torture her to get the information.
Now Owen and Mel. It’s the same thing. Ellie had them at gunpoint and asked where Abby was. They attack her so she has to kill them, now I want to compare Ellie and Abby, when Ellie finds out that Mel was pregnant right after she killed her, she literally has a panic attack, and almost throws up. But whilst Abby is beating the living shit out of Ellie and Dina, Ellie tells her to stop and that Dina is pregnant. Abby, with a knife to an unconscious Dina’s throat, says “good” and is about to kill when she sees that lev is crying then lets her go.
Finally, let’s look at abby’s reason for killing Joel. Abby traveled for years to find, torture and kill Joel because Joel was forced to kill her horrible father, who was going to kill a little girl to make a vaccine that wouldn’t even have worked, without her or Joel knowing, so Joel fights through the hospital to get to the room, where instead of letting Joel take her, he pulls out scissors and doesn’t let him pass, forcing Joel to kill him. Then Abby, as I said travels for a long time and runs into him. Keep in mind that Joel and Tommy just saved her from being ripped to shreds by a huge horde of infected so she gets them in a room with her friends and she tortures him and knock out Tommy. Ellie walks in and is tackled by Jordan and she defends herself. Then she gets pinned down, beaten up by Jordan, and is forced to watch Abby murder the closest thing to a father she ever had. Idk about you but I think if I were Abby i would stop after hearing Ellie’s pleads and screaming
If you like Abby please tell me why
I'm still sad about Joel's daughter dying in 2013. That being said Joel didn't deserve to die the way he did. RIP Joel
Yep, my favourite game of 2020. A milestone of a game.
There is just so much toxic hate from people who haven't even played this game, making others feel bad about liking it. I'm just glad there are deeper thinkers who see a bigger picture and realize what a Masterpiece this game is.
Thank k you for this video
This game had such a big impact on me that I still think about it to this day... A true masterpiece!
I 100% agree with you. The reason a lot of people are shitting on this game is because they can’t separate their personal bias. They have no empathy.! This is the kind of people that they are tunnel, vision, one dimensional, can’t think outside of the box. I respect the other people have other opinions, but they need to see that everybody becomes a monster when they need to Joel is not inherently a bad man and neither is Abby. They live in a different world now, and this is what they chose to do.
I just love The Last of Us 1 & 2. These games are so impactful for me and the most emotional pieces of media i have ever experienced. The soundtracks of this games are sooo perfect, i listened hours to it. After the first Playtrough I instantly wanted to platinum it. And I'm happy there will be a TLoU2 multiplayer. I just hope there will be TLoU Part 3.
Today I finished the game. It got me.. It got me really bad. For at least 6 days I was obsessed and I wanted to end it so quickly because was beatiful and immersive. It's undeniable the fact that you can get through all the type of emotions while playing this game, especially fear. I was so confused initially and couldn't believe at the death of Joel.. It was too soon and to quick. But the more I was getting in revenge mode, the more I was getting excited to find Abby. But then when I started to play Abby, I really didn't want to do it, I was disliking Abby for what she did, even tho I was always questioning what Joel did so bad, to deserve that type of death. Once I finish Abby perspective I understood her and I saw she was trying to be a good person and Elle all the sudden, became kinda the bad one, because if we think Abby left Elle leave twice, and she did what she did because Joel killed her father. But Elle killed at least 3 of Abby's close friend. Any way I reach the end that I couldn't no more... It was draining at some point, because I didn't want to kill anyone anymore...
But I can really say that was beautiful and touching. Absolutely the best videogame ❤️
Love you're content as much as TLOU 2
Thanks 🙏🏼 I hope to bring out more content like this starting 2021. Thanks for the support
What I noticed about Ellie letting Abby go is that she possibly stopped the cycle of revenge that would have happened if Lev found out she killed Abby.
The Last of Us Part I is to Saving Private Ryan as The Last of Us Part II is to Schindler’s List. One u is s certainly very graphic and unflinching, but still full of so much hope and good that you are left feeling happy and hopeful. The other is very different. It’s about depicting the worst that humanity is capable of while having people sacrifice everything just to create a little bit of hope. Both are great in very different ways because they are very different. One is an enjoyable experience worth revisiting time and time again. The other is not very enjoyable and will probably only be experienced once or twice, but that doesn’t make it bad. People hate Part II because it’s not what they wanted. But that just might be what makes it so great, even if it’s hard to enjoy it
I agree that each game has a different tone. However, because Part one is hopeful, I feel that you only need to play it once to understand the characters. Part 2 is very complex and warrants multiple playthroughs to see what you missed. Especially since it's very likely, that personal biases affected everyone's first playthrough. Also the gameplay is such a vast improvement over part 1
This game turned into my favorite of all time, hands down. It’s been seven months and it sticks in my mind like if it was yesterday.
I think it proves how childish and easy to digest gaming narratives are. This was like playing Game of Thrones with the tone of a Cormac McCarthy book. You get to see all sides of the same conflict, but you have to commit to actions you, as a player, don’t necessarily agree with. And characters are flawed people in an extreme and hostile world, condemmed from the first page. And that’s great. It expands possibilities in the gaming landscape. This is what makes gaming unique as a narrative form. Not everything has to be about the player and giving him narrative agency.
Random:Abby has the same type of mask as Joel does when your in a spors area
I feel like this game was ahead of it's time. Some people were not ready for this in gaming.
I love the game. The care that has been put is amazing. No game has had so much impact on me. I am subscribing to your channel.
Possibly the most insightful video on this amazing game. Thank you. In my opinion those who hated this game are simply emotionally unable to absorb it, they lack the necessary empathy. This is not intended in a hateful way, it's just true that people's relationships with their own emotions vary greatly for tonnes of different reasons that even science and medicine don't always understand, and those relationships are not always too healthy or open. It's a game that forces the player to challenge their ability to empathise with 'the other', and that doesn't always go too well with evryone.
Is a TLOU Part 3 possible?
there is always a chance. Hopefully, they make it down the line
It is. Naughty Dog and Sony made so much money from pre orders alone so I’m pretty sure that it’s a high possibility.
Definitely, and with Druckmanns recent promotion id say thats probably the highest priority right now
It is there’s even a video about of what part three will be about and that is redemption
I love how this game doesn’t shy away from the harsh reality of a zombie outbreak. The fact Ellie suffers with ptsd after seeing how Joel died. As someone who suffers with ptsd myself I’ve been saying for years mental health such as ptsd would massively increase. If mental illness is included in a zombie apocalypse story it adds another level of uncertainty. Mental health is so unpredictable and is a sad story by itself. Watching someone you love lose themselves due to their mental health is unforgiving. watching Ellie lose herself I felt her pain on certain aspects on her journey. So I hope tlou3 sticks to the dark aspects the second one did maybe even darker!
Honestly I think the people who actually hate the game are either a vocal minority or youtube/content creators who profit off controversy. Between the sales numbers, number of completed games, and all the awards it’s definitely a great game.
There is nothing good about the game it's just a copy and past of the first game just with a worse story. It took them 7 year's to make this game and they didn't innovative in anyway. I was rooting for this game so much since I loved the first one and I love naughty dog. But the last of us 2 was just a disappointment.

1. abby killed joel in a way thats unredeemable. Killing him wouldnt have been that bad but torturing him beforehand is too far 2. the story was supposed to show how revenge was bad but only negatively impacted ellie at the end of the day ellie lost everyone important to her and her way to play to play guitar her connection to joel. 3. Abby constantly screwed over most of the people she lost so abby is either a terrible person or didnt care about her “friends” 4. abby survived at the end for no reason after having ellie kill thousands and lose everything when they could of justified it by having ellie spare abby for levi who hasnt wronged her. 5. Revenge is the biggest part of this game its reason the events of this game happen and is reason we r supposed to understand abby but when thru this theme of revenge and perspective abby is rewarded for the bad shit she did when ellie wasnt and joel even wasnt since as we saw in the last of us part 2 him and ellie didnt have a happily ever as a father and daughter after even before abby 6. Mel constantly went out while pregnant so her dying is her fault especially when she attacks someone so i didnt feel bad for her at all i felt bad for the baby mel got killed
The weird thing I hated the game before I actually got it before I got spoiled so I was mad and hated the game but I played it and I rate it a 9/10
same here, i already know what happens in the end but i still bought it. so glad i did.
You took the next step. I think a lot of the haters didn't or didn't finish the game. I found out a lot of youtubers who hated the game at first, began to appreciate the game after a second playthrough. I'm playing this game for the second time and I give it a 10/10. Although this game is not perfect (no game is) for me it is the best game I ever played.
No matter what you say about this game the soundtrack and the gameplay is second to fucking none.
Finally this video is here! It's always great to see the people who love The Last of Us 2 get some acknowledgement. And I'm one of them.
The weird thing I hated the game before I actually got it before I got spoiled so I was mad and hated the game but I played it and I rate it a 9/10

damn almost got me crying there. Had to wait a couple of minutes to make this comment.
It was really worth the wait. Exactly what was in my mind for this whole 7 months and I couldn't share it.
I wish I could share my mind on this with everybody by a button so everybody understands it's not about revenge.
Love your content bro. Great work.
Thank you so much Pouria. I appreciate the support you’ve given to the channel and I am happy to share the love for this game with people like you. 🔥🙏🏼
This is one of the best storytelling I've seen in my life and only realised people r so blind that they only want to take sides and not see different perspective and for that they'll do wrong things like giving death threats abusing etc, I'm still blown away how naughty dog managed to made both game so good.
The Last of Us/Part 2 is the best game of all time!!!IT`S MORE THAN A GAME!!!!
Wow. Actually wow. Amazing job on the video man. Thank you so much for actually looking at this game from a realistic perspective, and realising both sides of the story, the people who loved and hated the game. Thank you for not blindly loving and or hating this game. You are the absoulte G. Keep it up!
Cyberpunk 2077 shit the bed. So that has kinda given TLOU2 a respite. TLOU2 is amazing and it actually works! Not once has the game crashed on me.
YT has just recommended to me the 'Hated' video. I've gone to your channel to find the 'Loved' video and I'm amazed at the difference in plays. Over 200k vs 30k. It's an interesting consideration. I don't think it reflects the lovers and haters of the game, but more about the YT algorithm and the kinds of videos people get to watch.
UA-cam has always pushed and recommended content that seems to create drama or negative things than positive. I’ve noticed that with years being here. Let’s say you talk about a series or a movie or game that is loved by almost everyone...if someone makes a video talking about it in a negative light let’s say cause they didn’t like it, those videos do way better than if you were to speak positively about in most cases. Very weird but oh well.
Honestly this was the best video game I’ve ever played and I’ve been around a lot longer than many gamers out there and came away with that. The story, environment, gameplay, graphics all top notch. The story was absolutely incredible and I can’t get over home into the game I got as it went along. I don’t understand all the hate towards this game. I really don’t.
This one of the best reviews about the game and I totally agree with you.
People who didnt like the game: "The only theme and message is just revenge is bad"
Me: ok what about empathy, healing, redemption, perspective, the human nature of bias, the cycle of violence, trauma, loss, forgiveness, hatred, love, and obsession? these are all way more prominent than "revenge is bad" and its reductionist to say that its the only theme and message.
TLOU Part 1 was definitely the better game, but TLOU Part 2 is a masterpiece in its own right. No game I've ever played made me that emotional. The fact that the reception is so polarizing is what makes it a masterpiece cuz the opposite of love isn't hate. It's not caring.
I'm one of the people that loved this game. A masterpiece to say the least.
The true meaning of this story is that at the end, ellie realises that she hates more herself than abby. In fact at the moment of the flashback with joel playing the geetar, we realize that ellie can't forgive herself to have waste a very long time being angry to joel, and because of his death that time is not coming back anymore. That's why she doesn't kill abby, because she knows that killing her is not going to solve that interior thurmoil. She realizes that she has to live with that pain and guilt and realeses abby for that reason, vengeance is not going to free her soul. Sorry for my bad english
So this game tries to subvert your expectations by pulling the cliche of having Ellie spare Abby in the end because vengeance won't free her of this inner turmoil and she only realizes that after she killed hundreds of people, that probably all have families that might want to exact this cycle of revenge on Ellie that the game is constantly beating you over the head with, to get to her?? I'm sorry but that is just dumb.
@@rayweaver8295 don't call it dumb it's unnecessary and disrespectfull. Ellie had to live all that to come to that conclusion. At least is my oppinion and we clearly can see it at the end of the game when the 2 are talking. It's just my oppinion and of course you are free to disagree or you could have a completly different feeling about the end, thats understandable.
@@pedroantunes6652 Just to be clear I'm not saying you or your assessment of the events is dumb because I think that's a fair assessment. I'm just saying I think this game's plot is kind of dumb and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I don't know if I agree with the idea that Ellie needed to kill hundreds of people to come to the conclusion that killing Abby won't change her feelings about Joel and revenge is bad. I feel like Ellie should have been smarter than that. But Regardless of how she came to the conclusion though, this game's entire revenge plot only exists because they introduced the idea that your gameplay actions from the first game have consequences, and those consequences led to Joel's death so by that logic the gameplay of this game would completely contradict the resolution to this cyclical vengence idea that it was trying to convey in the end since you just mindlessly murdered people almost in the same way Joel did in part 1, the only difference being that Joel did it to save Ellie, and not for revenge. If killing some random ass npc from the first game could lead to Joel's death than why wouldn't killing hundreds of other random ass npcs from the second game lead to similar consequences for Ellie? All of a sudden the cycle is broken and Ellie's conflict is resolved because she spared Abby even though she just killed that many people? It's so ridiculous.
Anyways that's just how I feel about it I'm sure you and most people in here would disagree but that's fine.
@@rayweaver8295 i understand your point of view but love and have are not driven by logic they are drived by passion. When people are in big love or extreme hate the brain works differently ( it's a scientific fact ) and logic is put on a side. Still i understand and agree that there are some flaws in the plot. What i don't understand is that people want tlou to be perfect and they go a lot harder after it than they go for another games. If we pick a random triple A game i can assure you that i will find plot flaws here and there. But for some reason, it's ok for other games to be not perfect. I understand the expectations for tlou were above the roof, but we have to cut some slack. Still at least you have arguments to express your delusion and i can understand that.
Why is this video like a therapy
I can agree that this is a love it or hate it game. When this game was announced back in 2016, I was hyped and followed it religiously. The amount of theories that went with this game was insane.
This is in my top 3 games of all time. I love it.
Just by watching this video i got goosebumps, i never suffered and loved anything that much as i did with tlou2. Kudos to you for making this 2 hell of a good videos
UA-cam didn't gave me notifications earlier...sorry bro..I got late to watch this...and as always another banger video
Ellie and Abby both got something out their journey in this game but it came at a heavy price. Ellie got her chance to forgive but lost everyone she loves in the process. Abby got her chance to be selfless by meeting Lev but lost all her friends in the process. Both got their chances to do something good at price of doing bad things. And i honestly love that about the ending.
This doesn't really make sense
2020 was awful...and so was this game, playing it does not guarantee people will like it, we have some clear examples: PewDiePie, YongYea, SkillUp, etc. (I totally recommend their videos on this game) It's as if the defenders of the game want to dismiss that this game split its fanbase 50/50, TLOU3 will not exist...and if it does...I wonder how much it will sell with Abby as its main focus...part of me is genuinely curious as to how bad the sales would be if that ever came out.
Yes, playing it does not guarantee that you'll like it, it's dark as hell and the pacing is not something anyone can stand.
But c'mon, spits on the fanbase? Just because a loved character died and you get to play as a new character? Abby is done. Her character is completed just like Joel's was completed after the first game. Putting the main focus on Abby is a mistake. Putting it on Joel in part 2 would also be a mistake.
50/50? C'mon. The awards and polls are saying otherwise.

@@ddp5406 You know what's funny. 18.3M people voted in TGA player's choice. Add up sold copies of each nominee, it'll be 13.6M. If we consider every single player voting and not the people who have more than one of these games and we probably counted them twice or three times,

3.1k subs? That was pretty fast.
The point is, this game is about perspective, and some people, well actually all people irregardless of this game, have personal biases, loyalties, love for some people over others, are blinded by their beliefs, feelings, experiences and faithfulness. That is true for this game and real life, that's humans work. If we could all be completely objective and unbiased and see things from everyone's point of view and have no thoughts or biases of our own then we wouldn't be human, we would be robots. Like Joel says at the end of the first game "you keep finding something fight for." Something, or someone, to fight for. Care for. Love. Protect. Belief in. Be loyal to. And to us, as fans of the last of us, that is Joel and Ellie. So when they try to make us see things from the perspective of the person who kills Joel, whether it was justified or not, whether Joel's choice and actions in the last game were justified or not, we don't care, because it doesn't matter, because Joel and Ellie and more important than a philosophy lesson. They are more important than the story they wanted to tell. People already made up their minds. They would rather pretend this game never ended so that Joel and Ellie in an alternate reality in our minds are alive and happy, because that's what we want for them
