    The world took everything away from Joel so Joel took everything away from the world

    • @Treesicle
      @Treesicle  9 років тому +87

      mikehtv An interesting way of putting it :) He definitely wasn't afraid to take back from the world what it took from him. Makes sense in explaining his less than moral choices during those 20 years.

      I wouldn't say joel took everything away from the world, If you explored the hospital, You would find some interesting audio logs about how the vaccine wouldn't work. And how alot of people have tried, But died in vain. The vaccine that they were supposed to make thanks to ellie would most likely end in fail.

    The only problem with this video is skipping over Henry and Sam. The reason why Joel wants to hand over Ellie to Tommy is because he's afraid he'll end up like Henry if something were to happen to Ellie.
    I think that's a pretty important part of the story.

    Joels final actions are disturbing on a deep level.
    Because from the point of view of the player it is the worst thing he could possibly do, it is entirely selfish and potentially dooms humanity.
    And yet it is exactly what we want him to do.

      +Cooper Magner exactly, he didn't lie, there was a chance it would work sure, but all other attempts fail, and in my opinion, the chances weren't enough for Joel to let Ellie sacrifice herself just to become a statistic. I actually support Joel's decision.

    *SPOILERS*
    SO, In the game there is actually a recording on a tape while you are trying to save Ellie. Its hidden well, plus you are focused on surviving and killing all the fireflies in that moment. BUT, it says that they actually WERE other people like Ellie within the 20 years that passed from Sara's death and that they tried and failed. So A lot of you people say that he lied and he sacrificed the world for ellie, But there actually was a small chance that they could've screwed up like they did with the other people and the other immunes. Joel did lie about the FireFlies stopping to look for a cure, but he did not lie about there being more immune people like her.

  • @erbgorre
    @erbgorre 9 років тому +139

    while this is a great analysis for the most part, i think its still missing the most important point of the actual ending.
    what really set the ending of the last of us apart from almost any other story is that there simply is no correct choice to make in joels place. while for the most part of the game the message seems to be rather clear and simple in terms of what the ultimate goal of the journey is, essentially treating ellie as some sort of glass vial that pretty much contains the cure for the cordyceps which you only still need to extract and deliver to humanity, to make this whole nightmare end, the situation that presents itself when inside the hospital is quite different.
    none of the people important to the journey (joel, ellie, tess, marlene, tommy, etc) are any close to being scientists so you cant fault them for this simplistic view of course, but once you find the additional information in audio tapes and other things at the abandoned university and finally the hospital, it becomes blatantly evident, that the doctors basically have no clue what theyre doing. heck, it feels like most of them are makeshift doctors at best, debatable if they even were doctors or scientists before the outbreak, but there simply isnt anyone else left at this point. so whats presented to you is submitting ellie to a procedure that is certain to kill her, for the sake of a very slim chance, that it may actually yield some kind of vaccine.
    and the dilemma doesnt even stop there, as even IF they were to create a working vaccine, you would still have to wonder at how to actually deliver it accross the world, for example. and even more importantly, what a working vaccine would ultimately accomplish. it becomes clear throughout the journey that a vaccine would not magically make everything go back to normal again, most of humanity is gone for good, either dead or infected, and whats left is mostly fending for themselves, committing horros in the name of survival much worse than whatever the infected present. joel, if anybody, would know about that. i think bill is putting it very well at some point, saying something like "its not the infected i worry about, its the people". and thats bang on the truth. 20 years after the outbreak, the biggest threat to whats left of humanity is no longer the infection, but rather the other humans.
    now you can theorize at how a working vaccine would potentially change the dynamics between the different groups of people, maybe stabilizing things enough for the looters to stop acting inhumane, or the military to stop being abusive, or maybe not. but certainly everyone wouldnt just get together, hug it out, and start building a society again, just like that. i mean its one possible scenario, but it sure is far fetched. may well be the least likely out of the imaginable scenarios.
    and so theres joel. thats what hes looking at. then how can it be broken down to joel simply making a selfish decision that dooms mankind as it is standing on the brink of salvation, simply because of his own inability to deal with the death of his daughter? thats not what it is. and its not all theres to it. im not saying that this doesnt play a role for joel and that theres no selfishness in his decision. but its also weighing a minimal chance for something that may or may not, hypothetically, make the world a better place again, against accepting the state that the world is in and going for the very real chance of living the best possible life in this world. cause thats what tommy and his people stand for, essentially. maybe this is the right course for mankind at this point. its certainly up for debate.
    the bigger moral dilemma for joel, as i see it, is that he takes this choice out of ellies hands, and basically against her will. she makes it very clear during the last chapter that she wants to see this through, no matter what. at this point it feels very much like what happened during winter actually made her lose her will to live, so shes actually embracing the fact that the ultimate destination of their journey is her death. this is what truly made the first part of summer the most gut-wrenching for me in my first playthrough, tbh. joel is obviously banking on the hope that - with time - she may come around again. but for now, its a grave danger for their future relationship. and there is no question that ellie sees right through him at the end when hes lying to her about what really happened at the hospital. i mean, even if youd never met joel before youd know the story hes tellling is total hogwash, lol. so the pivotal thing about the ending for me is what to read into ellis "ok". and theres ALOT of possible ways to interpret that :D. so i think the endings brilliant. it could go literally everywhere from there for the 2 of them.

    The Last of Us 2:
    Ellie becomes 17 and Joel dies of the same fungus that killed everyone else.
    Poor Ellie is left to survive alone until she strives with Tommy for a few days.
    After a major bombing in Tommy's homeland, Tommy has been killed & Ellie goes back with the Fireflies. Another few years later Ellie finds a starving child named Jordan.
    Ellie & the kid continue with their lives until everything falls apart.
    Jordan has found out that he has the same immunity as Ellie does.
    At some point, Ellie leaves lonely Jordan to the Fireflies, and uses herself as the cure.
    No more than six years, Jordan becomes 15 & has the cure. He has a mission to cure everyone who has been bitten, including himself.
    Somewhere near a river, Ellie is found being stabbed by an unusual person, but then lives again.
    Jordan found out the Fireflies cured her before she died, having a secret cure before. But, the first cure was failing multiple times, but for Ellie it worked.
    It all comes to an end, leaving humanity to rebuild itself.

      my my idea for a sequel involved the spores in ellies blood steam mutating into a far more aggressive strain that kills Joel when they're having a bonding moment, and passing a bottle around the camp fire. years later ellie is running caravan routes between settlements afraid to get close to anyone since she's a walking bio hazard with backwash that can kill in minutes.

      CallMeEuphoria He added a very minimal amount of insight. He just retold the story and pointed out the obvious themes that accompany every post-apocalyptic survival game. The title, "The Story You Never Knew" implies that there was some sort of hidden narrative or profound message that hasn't been revealed until his video. Instead, he made a less than exceptional copy of The Game Theorists. I am not a troll, I just ask that his videos live up to their titles.

    Last of Us 2 should be a prequel that tells the events after the death of Joel's daughter. The story should include how he and Tommy had to survive the initial apocalypse, their involvement with the Fireflies, and how Joel became a smuggler and met Tess.

    I kinda wish you would’ve expanded on Joel’s relationship with Tess. I think that before Ellie she was the only one he really trusted and the only person he’d really open up to. I think she is what kept him from closing himself off from other people completely. I think if it wasn’t for her, Joel would’ve isolated himself like Bill did (either literally or figuratively).

    Question here: why would the soldier have orders to kill any civilian he sees? I understand it might be to prevent infection but it seems like a really weird decision for a government to make: kill everyone. You'd expect they'd give it their all to try and get people to safety instead of worsening the situation.

    • @frankg2790

Also... the things that made the game for me... are... 1-those DIALOGUES between the prince(who isn't really a prince at all(except maybe in what he's kind of almost in a couple with Elika, who's a kind of a princess?)) and Elika... 2- the characters(both personalities and the appearances) 3- that MUSIC! ... 4- those background and that ART STYLE!!! 5- the lore... 6- the level design... 7- the gameplay(the parkour, the magic, the battles, the collecting made more fun and necessary rather than being a chore, etc.)...^^

    Why are you talking like some talk-show host?
    I think that tone of voice completely ruins what you are trying to tell the viewer. The Last of Us is a heartwrenching story of survival but you make it sound like some Disney movie where the good guys always win without consequences. I think this could have been with so much more decorum and taste. I'm disappointed.

    This is the story people who haven't played this game never knew. It's just a way to let many more people know about the last of us and it's beautiful storyline.

    During the final rescue scene at the hospital he actually ends up finding a lot of notes and records about past experiments with people like Ellie. Obviously the notes are not completely unmitigated, but the gist of them show us that Joel was in fact telling Ellie the truth, there were many failed experiments on people like her and Joel decided to save her rather than allow her to be a sacrifice for what might be a hopeless case.

    The moral of the story behind TLOU is that the love you feel for the people closest to you is stronger than the love you feel for the whole mankind.
