i swear when he said “what are you doing kiddo?” my heart like shattered. that really was her father figure and he lead her in all the right directions in her teen years. i truly believed he shaped her into who she became. it’s almost like she lost her better half
i mean ... he did lead her, but in all the right directions? he’s the reason she’s a cold blooded killer who doesn’t know how to properly handle her emotions.
@@sgtmian wasn’t really his fault tho. If we all were living in a world where humanity is pretty much gone, almost all of us would be just like him. Doing brutal things just to stay alive is something that we probably all do.
@@chuckbecker5635 i don't deny that, just making it clear that joel really fucked ellie up, as parents sometimes do. even though they're trying to do the right thing.
@@chuckbecker5635 I think they mean by Joel dragging Ellie out of the hospital. Knowing that you yourself is the cure to humanity and the person who you trust takes you away with out giving you a choice, it probably ruin you.
@@sgtmian I agree with your take on it. That’s why, at the end of the game, Ellie finally gets redeemed by not killing Abby and the game ends with a butterfly on her guitar. She evolved. Just like the butterfly evolves from the caterpillar. (And yes, I know the correct term isn’t ‘evolve,’ but she evolved as a character.)
Only after the end of part 2 do you realize how much has been invested in this trailer. How much does this describe Ellie's state of mind throughout the game. It's amazing. This story does not let go. I don't know about the others, but I empathized with Ellie from beginning to end. She is a hostage to this emotional devastation caused by the loss of Joel.
After playing part 1 and part 2 for the first time back to back, and seeing Ellie change, you realize the exact thing about Joel in the first and Ellie in the second. They both did horrifying things for the sake of a bigger thing even if that bigger thing is completely lost in the violence, they made Ellie realistic by making her, ever so slightly, a piece of shit. She treats Dina awfully, she is so hell bent on revenge that she leaves her whole family and ends up getting her friend killed. But you can so easily empathize with her because it’s Joel we’re talking about
I still feel the game was missing a point. Abby. Abby could have been such a interesting character imagine they would have swapped Dina’s Role with Abbys as Ellie’s Companion. Like I don’t know Ellie searching for Joel’s Killers but doesn’t know how Abby looks or that was her and then combining this story with this whole Scar thing and that Ellie helps out Abby or something like that and they discover the truth about each other and the 2nd part of the game is about Abby vs Ellie that would have been much more epic and most people wouldn’t despise Abby
I agree with empathizing with Ellie. My only problem with the game was the large parts where you play as Abby. It felt like work getting through her parts with the separate skill tree. It was entirely too long playing as a person that was established already as an enemy in my mind (until the point Ellie kills the one person that makes her pretty irredeemable from that point on, but that''s almost the end of the game)
he Last of Us is probably the most emotionally scarring video game series ever made. Every time I hear this song, I almost cry because it just brings back all the emotions I felt for these characters. It's so beautiful and sad and depressing all at the same time. Just like the game.
@@vin_rouge180 probably the only game where I cried several times out of anger, happiness, sadness and in the end just pure „please make it stop I don’t wanna fight anymore“
Still get chills watching this remembering how exited everyone was despite the controversy of the game it will forever hold a special place in my heart
@@seromniconciente8689 People say that we hate the game because Joel died. No, I already expected him to die. What I didn't expect was how BS that lead to his death was. How can a person that has been on guard for more than 20+ years of his life blindly trust a stranger when he knows that people are out there to kill him?
@@buggart he had the necessery development in the flashbacks to make it seem in character Also it was a tough sitouation They had no choice but to act friendly Now he could be a bit more reluctant perhaps But he just saved her life and its safe to assume he has encountered many travellers like her who haven't harmed him in the past
@@poutsamouni5483 it also should be acknowledged that if joel was anyone else at all, abby and her group would’ve treated them with respect and kindness just like he was doing to them, and so it’s not completely out of the park for him to trust the newcomers. but it’s because of the decisions joel made in his past coupled with the fact that he was just unlucky enough to cross paths with the exact people who were looking to kill him that lead to his death. he’s not john wick, and it’s very clearly shown in the first game that 80% of the time the only reason they even survive some encounters is pure luck. joel’s luck had to run out eventually
@@buggart I didn't even cared much about Joel's non sense death. But selling us a revenge story that doesn't end up in revenge and even worst, making us play as Abby and forcing us to beat the shit out our girl Ellie? Nah, they done fucked up
V M Yh ik I jus can’t believe what happened but I had this theory they didn’t show Joel bc it was jus in her imagination bc of his passing and all and she is like saying it to him she feels like and it’s in her mind tha Joel is questioning if it’s a bad idea but it’s Ellie so when she has it on her mind u can’t snap her out of it
Me too. I just got past the brutal (spoiler kinda) you know what that happens about 2 hours in and damn... I know what I’ll be doing for the next few days. I had to rewatch this trailer and it just gave me the shivers.
Man this trailer is heartbreaking after finishing the game. When Joel says “what are you doing kiddo” it kinda sounded like to me “don’t go through with what you’re about to do”. Joel lost everything because of revenge and he’s about to watch Ellie go through the same thing because of what he did. Man I still love the first game more but this story was just a work of art. I understand if it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but you got to take risks sometimes with your characters to get a story like this. I respect everyone’s opinion though.
@@MrRomaVALE I mean, in the first game Joel killed dozens of people just on the inference that they had something to do with Ellie's detainment. I can't say all of those killings were motivated by revenge, but there was a fair amount of bloodshed that was justified in his view by the perceived wrongs of the people involved. He wasn't merely doing it to get from point a to point b - he was reveling in the violence all the way there, and in his being the one to save Ellie in the end he passed that loss of self down to her.
@@obsequiarch7271 Never felt like he reveled in it, more that it was a sense of urgency and fear of losing Ellie. I don't see how Joel acted in a vengeful act towards the cannibals, yet the cannibals did when they figured out that Ellie was the one who rode with Joel back when they were attacked by a party from the cannibal group, which that was self defence on Joel and Ellie's side. It was made pretty clear that they would've killed Joel and Ellie in an act of vengeance for their people, but David being the leader, could coerce his people to leave Ellie alive as a form of perverted pedophilia as his intention, but Joel was clearly gonna be killed if caught. Also, I don't agree that Joel passed his loss of self onto Ellie. That scene is made to showcase the return of Joel humanity and fatherhood, whilst Ellie's is that of taking a harsh blow towards her innocence, yet there is no loss of herself through the rest of the game. She still maintains optimism and hope.
Too bad the trailer was pretty much false advertisement, leading people to believe this was another Joel + Ellie adventure, only to end up with a clunky mess of a story. So many people got bamboozled by that and promply refunded it the moment they realised how much of a shitty move this was from the company that made the first game.
@@GGWyzzy No, that was the _second_ trailer. The second one blatantly lied. This one didn't. It was more ambiguous and only on a rewatch can you pick up the subtle hints suggesting that Joel's presence in the scene can't be physical.
@@rhondahoward8025 yup, just searched for it and indeed they blatantly lied on that one. Could swear it was on this one and it kinda was ambiguous here so I thought this was the trailer full of lies. The even removed the comments on that one, that´s what I call shitty damage control.
Even back when this trailer released they had no idea what they were doing with this game. Apart of me thinks they originally did not plan on doing *SPOILERRRRRR* Joel so dirty in the first 20 minutes of the game.
After seeing... THAT scene... this trailer has a whole new meaning now. I mean, all this trailer is telling me now is that ellie is suffering from delusions and mental collapse... and Joel is a figment.
This was by far the worst "big" game to be released for many many years. Story line made absolutely no sense, if you dont feel that way yet, replay the game with the knowledge you have from the previous game on each known character, and try to make sense of the story and u will see that it was not just a bad game but I still cant believe the devs got paid to release this game. Awful i dont mind the ending, the way the story went just the reasoning behind the key parts of the story line was so broken. It was as if there were 6 or 7 different authors all combined to make this story and I would not be surprised if this actually was the case. The entire game felt rushed into production and so many things in the story did not add up.
I think the saddest thing about this game is how realistic it is. If humanity was plunged into chaos like the way this story happened, people would eventually fight and kill each other for resources and survival. And these tragic cycles of vengeance would start-not because people wanted them to happen, but because they "did what they had to" to survive.
The 300 pound muscle woman and pregnant woman fighting zombies without any inner conflicts were especially realistic. You go girl!!! 😂 I especially loved the part where a main character got shot in the head and lived with no considerable brain damage lmao
@@Evan_Stark keep watching hate videos instead of playing the game and formulating your own opinions!! Your comment is a certified dumbass comment. Simpleton.
Joel:"What are you doing, kiddo?" Ellie:"I'm gonna find, and i'm gonna kill every last one of them" Joel:"You think i would let you do this on your own?"
I remember reading a comment of a guy who said that here Joel is already dead, is like a ghost, because he came out from the light and he is like a vision of Ellie. He said this because he thought that Ellie wanted to revenge Joel by killing his killers. I read that comment 2 years ago. That was fucking true. edit: why did I get all these likes? omg I'm not used to comment xd
Not that surprising at all really, it was a little too obvious since they said you’d be playing as Ellie. Only surprising part was how damn early they killed him off, wasn’t even 30mins in
@@awawawawwawaa7746 Literally impossible to avoid spoilers for any game.... My solution is, when I play any new game, I don't look at social meadia and i don't look at comments related to the game. I hope I helped somehow. And when I play that game I usually play it every day so I don't loose myself in the story. One example, when I played HZD i stopped playing it and i came back 2 months ago, I couldn't remember where the stors ended (i kinda knew but just a little)..
When this trailer dropped for me, it was 100% clear that Joel here is dead and she was talking about hunting down his killers, how this wasn't picked up by other people I will never know. The imagery of Joel appearing out of white light, the lyrics alluding to a lone gunman wandering the land hoping for mercy for their actions, Ellie's direct words, those words and the hateful, sad tone could only be used for one person, and the last identifier that Joel is dead, we don't see his face, nor do we see him properly at all, we see faint glimpses of him, like he's a ghost.
@@somethingofascientist58 It seems some people were totally caught off guard by his death, some people expected the second game to be pretty much the first but with more guns
i saw all those joel is dead theories but refused to believe they'd kill him like that, and the fake joel reveal from that other trailer (where it was actually jesse in-game) just kind of confirmed that joel wouldn't be the reason for her revenge
@@kennycodes those leaks were a few months before the game released. this trailer released in 2016, almost 3.5 years before the game came out. there were no leaks that early in development, first leaks started hitting the net around early 2020
I played the last of us back in 2013 when I was younger with my father. This game has a special place in my heart my father recently passed away by an overdose and the last of us is really the only good memory I have with him
Ellie is such an exceptional character. She is kind, generous, lovely and yet at the same time brave, dedicated and vengeful. I never loved any character in a game this much.
She's not generous or lovely, she's just a teenager with tons of flaws, selfish, with a real part of darkness. This makes her an ambiguous character, just like her father - and most importantly, that's what makes a damn good character.
@@t4ncho I disagree with your opening few words, but agree with the rest. We see in the first game, how she sees beauty in a world gone to shit, and tries to help others. I do agree though, that due to all that went on with her, even outside of what happens in this game, that she was born to violence, and is a natural at it, which brings around her dark side. Dina says something in the game at the party when Ellie is feeling anxious "oh Ellie I think every one in this room should be terrified of you" - and she's right; Ellie's rage is almost boundless, and it almost breaks her as she loses everything going on this path. Its enthralling and horrifying to watch, and does make her a terrific character to follow.
@@madskillzy2k Oh really? How? Because this trailer made me think back then that Joel will get murdered. Not only me, I've seen many others predict that.
“You’re really gonna go through all of this” man, that was genius edit: i didn’t even know i commented this a year ago, but i’m so glad people took note of it!
@@chuckbecker5635 "Go through with this" means "Are you really doing that?", "Are you really going to finish what you've started/planned?". While "Go through all of this." means - suffer/endure through series of events. Doesn't have the same meaning at all.
Of particular note to consider now that we've already completed the game that definitely allude to Joels fate: * He walks in surrounded by light. As if from beyond to deliver his message * He's oddly clean (for the most part) meanwhile Ellie looks like she's been in a war * You never see his face. Almost as if he's a shade. Also if you've seen his fate you probably wouldnt want to
I remember when the trailer first dropped, a fair number of people thought it seemed at least somewhat apparent that avenging Joel was gonna be the central focus of the game. It made the backlash to it when it became a reality seem very odd to me
It's a metaphor, analogy or whatever it's called. Joel asks her if she's going to continue (with the revenge) and even though the idea of him tells her that she is not sure, she does it the same, looking and hoping to kill each one. And the song is also perfect, because it represents the same, that no one would agree with her in what she chooses but she already accepts that she's not walking the path of right. It's genius and now I get it.
I had never been this excited for a video game in my life no matter how you felt about this game you can’t deny that the hype for this game was so high absolutely one of the best trailers ever
They could of put out Ataris ET and called it last of us and it would of done well. They took advantage of the hype and let downntheir fan base. Part 3 if ever will do poorly. B
I remember looking forward to the sequel. What a huge disappointment. People like to blame naughty dog but this all on sony. Naughty dog not same anymore people worth there weight left the company

2016: Hey lets upload an exciting trailer that will tease the fans that we're almost done 2019: Still waiting.... (EDIT) 2020: We did it ladies and gentlemen :-) (EDIT) 2020: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THIS GAME?!?!?? (EDIT) 2021: After some time of collecting my thoughts on the game I agreed as many others did that the storyline is terrible but the gameplay, the enviroment are good.
Carla B you are right, you’re right! This is possibly the Longest time I have ever waited for a game to be released... Uncharted 3, TLOU, And the remastered of Spyro was hard enough. Did they actually release the TLOU 2 trailer Three Years Ago!!?!?!??? I’ll say this though. At least they did give us that. Instead of saying they’re making the game with no news of the trailer At All. Now that would have been messed up 😅😂
The first time i watch the trailer, i said, "Well she is on a rampage about someone else, maybe the death of Riley or a close one, family" but after the game came out and Joel died, i finally understand that the trailer was the mind of Ellie, and that Joel is only "like" a ghost or a flashback, you see him totally clean and calm (dead already) asking to Ellie if she is really going through all that killing spree, following the path of vengeance for his death. So the trailer really told you that Joel was already dead without playing the game at least for 5 minutes. Just amazing!
I'm here lol. Huge TLOU Fan. I sold all my games at the time to get a copy of this game on it's release date back in 2013 I believe it was? I hope they improved the online or make some sort of open world aspect of the game so it's still playable once you "beat" it
So in the teaser's that joel is in, we don't really see Joel's face, maybe thats a symbol to Joel's death and a symbol that joel isn't really there and Ellie is just hallucinating...
The main symbol to Joel's death is the fact that he is hardly in any of the trailers and when he is it's at the beginning and not throughout the scenes
Joel isn't there. He's a memory. She doesn't respond to his question and she doesn't look at his direction. To me this indicates that he's not really there (besides from being in her mind).
And it makes sense, deciding not to go through with it is an important moment for her character. The hatred that Ellie harbors for Abby is an externalized reflection of the hatred Ellie feels towards herself. Why? Well Ellie hates Abby for torturing Joel to death, especially because she didn't get a chance to restore her relationship with Joel. This is a mirror because Ellie also tortured Joel, she did it for years but in a different way, and I'd say in a way that was more painful for Joel, and that was by distancing herself from him and ending her relationship with him. She hates herself for torturing him like that and not restoring their relationship when there was time. That's the real pain she has been avoiding facing during this entire revenge quest. When she has the flashback to the scene on the porch with Joel and spares Abby, she's not just forgiving Abby, she's really forgiving herself and finally coming to terms with what happened between her and Joel, so she leaves his guitar in the house to rest and allows herself to start a new life.
@@cynicalidealist11 100%. At least i see more people defending this amazing game. You got two perspectives on loss and avenging said loss. Both were right and wrong, but i think it was so perfectly crafted. I loved it. 10/10.
@@InfectedElite People aren't defending because there's no way you can change people's mind about the game, if you play with a open mind you will have an amazing experience, and if you want to see SJW in this or just hate about it, then that's what you getting from the game. This trailer for exemple, i think it's Ellie in the path of Abby to canada, whenever you play the guitar in the game, you remember Joel and that's what happening there. People are hating because Joel dies, the game is about reality in fucked world, you can have your loved character, but life does not have one. And there's the bullshit of "Yeah this character x didn't do that and i'm really upset" i mean, everyone is on strange situation right now but no one is on a zombie outbreak for know what they are thinking.
SalsaCookies Or after walking in and finding them all dead. Maybe she knew them and that’s why she seemed so vengeful when she said she wanted to, “kill every last one of them”, and why she seemed upset and stretched her fingers before she started playing.
The corpses in the house are probably their allies, here's my hypothesis; Joel and Ellie went outside for supplies or something but then when they came back, the house is ransacked while they heard a vehicle trailblazing away from the area, Joel tried to chase the vehicle. With a bad feeling in her gut, Ellie stayed behind to look for survivors only to find both of their allies dead, minutes later: Joel failed to hunt down the men who ransacked their base and came back to meet Ellie. It's probably a revenge or a warning. Either way, it's just a theory.
@@alejandroalvarado3409 no. in trailers you could say joel will be die. yes you can guess what will be happen but they show you somethings that not real

I was a fool too. I was only thinking about graphics,mechanics because i knew the story would be great. Yes the graphics are great,but the story is shit.

Okay I don't get it, I just watched the whole playthrough from PewDiePie and Joël is still alive, did I miss something? what more do I need to watch/ play before I'm playing this one?
Coming back to watch this after several completions of TLoU2 and it never hit me until JUST NOW that Joel walks out of an impercievable light (symbolic of him being gone) and him walking up and questioning her is actually her mind and not because hes actually there.
@@miertje3131 I don't but in this trailer Ellie said: "I'm gonna find and I'm gonna kill every last one of them.'' So yeah, that's why I wrote this comment. :D
Bro i cry like a little girl every time i watch my favorite scenes of both games..They just hit the spot..For me it's in the top 3 of all entertaiment..Movies, games etc..Nothing has ever touched me emotionally like TLOU's story has.
@GraySkies I think so Ellie is in her imagination and imagining all these things if it is then last of us 3 would be a hit just if they somehow manage to revive Joel and make the storyline even better the ending of lou 2 make me depressed 😖
I can see now that this is her conscience conflicting with each other. She can picture Joel questioning her loss of sanity for revenge but she just can't let it go.
After watching the gameplay trailer at E3 maybe it’s Ellie’s girlfriend they killed and now she’s all pissed and wants to kill everyone. Please Joel don’t be dead...
Savannah Echeverria So Ellie imagined Joel walking down the hall and seeing all the people she's already killed? That makes no sense. It comes across like Ellie is after revenge and Joel went after her but caught up after she already finished killing off all the enemies.
The sad thing about this game is that people die so quickly and you can’t have a reaction to it.. like you’re just kind of like oh well and then you have to move on.
I think part of that is intentional? I dunno, I’d imagine in that world you would often lose people and have to just move on. Tess’ death in the first game is sorta reminiscent. There are certain times where both games slow down and give you a second to process what happened, like after Henry and sam died, and in tlou2, after Joel died. A moment to breathe and feel before pressing forwards. Even Jessie’s death, which I found devastating because I LOVED Jessie, is fitting in the context of the world. How many people in the world of tlou go just like that? How many people as either Joel or Ellie have we shot while they walk beside their friends? In a world where nothing is guaranteed and death is a constant companion, I’m glad we were able to see that aspect. (Also, it adds to the way ellie internalized Joel’s behaviours and lessons. In the first game he was very strictly “people die. We move on. Don’t talk about it.” In tlou2 we see Ellie carry that with her, mentioning in her journal how she’s unable to talk about Joel or Jessie and wonders how Dina does so easily. It’s another way in which Ellie picked up on Joel and mirrored him.)
Sri Alekhya Nanduri Yeah exactly I was expecting Ellie and Joel to do things together again just like before and the game blew that off in the first 2 hours of game
if you look carefully there were all the signs that joel would be dead... him coming from the light, him asking her "are YOU really gonna go through with this", and her words full of hate... it's just that we didn't wanna see it
@ exactly......bt still...lets say joel got a shitty ending(true)....even then the complete destruction is when u play as abby for like 50% of the game...her storyline is terrible...the character is terrible nd u wont get any emotional attachment to her......
@ No one guaranteed that Joel will still be alive, it was never promised dumbass. If you're complain of him not in the game then that is not true. He is in numerous flash back.
Even though I hate when movie plots simpatize for villians , the gane revealed that we are al villians and as I started the game my thirst for revenge was huge I feel empty as (spoiler ahead lol) Ellie couldn't finish the job, this game is such an emotional rollercoaster.
While Ellie killed everyone in the house playing the guitar, she’s literally having PTSD after Joel’s death. He really isn’t in the house with her. It’s all in her mind. THAT’S CRAZY
I'm blown away that a game use the right chord positions and string plucks as real life. I'm a guitar teacher, and what she is playing and where her hands are... they are correct.
King Christophis I been playing it and I think I’m close to the end. The gameplay is amazing but the story is definitely forced and they are just going for shock factor instead of a good emotional story like the first time
@@juliusjanagap6545 absolutely, not only is it forced, but Neil probably thought he was being "artistic" and a storytelling genius, when in reality he just created one of the most pointless storylines in history. If this doesn't get a sequel to patch things up they would've absolutely ruined a masterpiece for no reason.
Makes a lot of sense. The light in the background and green grass. It’s like his spirit was trying to talk to Ellie and convince her not act on revenge. At first I thought she was going to get revenge because they killed her girlfriend Dina.
Côme Besnard would have been a lot better if Joel died in a gunfight defending Ellie. The way they took out Joel was still shocking, he shouldn’t have gone out like that.
@@supremeleader247 I mean I get what they were going for with his death, it could have even stayed like that if we had a build up for it like introducing Abby's motives and her friends or something. The second part is not enjoyable at all because we don't have on objective view of her that's why her "redemption arc" doesn't work for me. Ellie makes some stupid mistakes too that are so unlike her character and everything Joel taught her.
@@supremeleader247 Sorry this just turned into me ranting... Whatever the game still had some good moments with the flashbacks and the romance with Dina.
This story challenged most gamers. It's a very mature game. We're used to black and white, good and bad, perhaps with major/minor flaws, but overall unmistakably good/bad characters. This game challenged us emotionally and logically. It's beautiful. One of, if not the BEST games out there.
I walk through the valley Of the shadow of death And I fear no evil Because I'm blind to it all And my mind and my gun they comfort me Because I know I'll kill my enemies When they come Surely goodness and mercy Will follow me all the days of my life And I will dwell on this earth forevermore Said I walk beside the still waters And they restore my soul But I can't walk on the path of the right Because I am wrong

I agree with empathizing with Ellie. My only problem with the game was the large parts where you play as Abby. It felt like work getting through her parts with the separate skill tree. It was entirely too long playing as a person that was established already as an enemy in my mind (until the point Ellie kills the one person that makes her pretty irredeemable from that point on, but that''s almost the end of the game)
Or that they lied for marketing

@@seromniconciente8689 People say that we hate the game because Joel died.
No, I already expected him to die. What I didn't expect was how BS that lead to his death was. How can a person that has been on guard for more than 20+ years of his life blindly trust a stranger when he knows that people are out there to kill him?
@@buggart he had the necessery development in the flashbacks to make it seem in character
Also it was a tough sitouation
They had no choice but to act friendly
Now he could be a bit more reluctant perhaps
But he just saved her life and its safe to assume he has encountered many travellers like her who haven't harmed him in the past
@@poutsamouni5483 it also should be acknowledged that if joel was anyone else at all, abby and her group would’ve treated them with respect and kindness just like he was doing to them, and so it’s not completely out of the park for him to trust the newcomers. but it’s because of the decisions joel made in his past coupled with the fact that he was just unlucky enough to cross paths with the exact people who were looking to kill him that lead to his death. he’s not john wick, and it’s very clearly shown in the first game that 80% of the time the only reason they even survive some encounters is pure luck. joel’s luck had to run out eventually
@@buggart I didn't even cared much about Joel's non sense death. But selling us a revenge story that doesn't end up in revenge and even worst, making us play as Abby and forcing us to beat the shit out our girl Ellie? Nah, they done fucked up

Man this trailer is heartbreaking after finishing the game. When Joel says “what are you doing kiddo” it kinda sounded like to me “don’t go through with what you’re about to do”. Joel lost everything because of revenge and he’s about to watch Ellie go through the same thing because of what he did. Man I still love the first game more but this story was just a work of art. I understand if it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but you got to take risks sometimes with your characters to get a story like this. I respect everyone’s opinion though.
Exactly...
Wait, when did Joel ever have revenge?
@@MrRomaVALE I mean, in the first game Joel killed dozens of people just on the inference that they had something to do with Ellie's detainment. I can't say all of those killings were motivated by revenge, but there was a fair amount of bloodshed that was justified in his view by the perceived wrongs of the people involved. He wasn't merely doing it to get from point a to point b - he was reveling in the violence all the way there, and in his being the one to save Ellie in the end he passed that loss of self down to her.
@@obsequiarch7271 Never felt like he reveled in it, more that it was a sense of urgency and fear of losing Ellie. I don't see how Joel acted in a vengeful act towards the cannibals, yet the cannibals did when they figured out that Ellie was the one who rode with Joel back when they were attacked by a party from the cannibal group, which that was self defence on Joel and Ellie's side.
It was made pretty clear that they would've killed Joel and Ellie in an act of vengeance for their people, but David being the leader, could coerce his people to leave Ellie alive as a form of perverted pedophilia as his intention, but Joel was clearly gonna be killed if caught.
Also, I don't agree that Joel passed his loss of self onto Ellie. That scene is made to showcase the return of Joel humanity and fatherhood, whilst Ellie's is that of taking a harsh blow towards her innocence, yet there is no loss of herself through the rest of the game. She still maintains optimism and hope.

No matter how you feel about this game, you can't deny that the trailer was absolutely breathtaking. Probably one of the best I've ever seen.
The trailer is the best thing about the game.
Too bad the trailer was pretty much false advertisement, leading people to believe this was another Joel + Ellie adventure, only to end up with a clunky mess of a story. So many people got bamboozled by that and promply refunded it the moment they realised how much of a shitty move this was from the company that made the first game.
@@GGWyzzy No, that was the _second_ trailer. The second one blatantly lied. This one didn't. It was more ambiguous and only on a rewatch can you pick up the subtle hints suggesting that Joel's presence in the scene can't be physical.
@@rhondahoward8025 yup, just searched for it and indeed they blatantly lied on that one. Could swear it was on this one and it kinda was ambiguous here so I thought this was the trailer full of lies.

Even back when this trailer released they had no idea what they were doing with this game. Apart of me thinks they originally did not plan on doing *SPOILERRRRRR* Joel so dirty in the first 20 minutes of the game.
anyone noticed how sony shut off every comments with the last of us 2 trailers? i find it hilarious.
After seeing... THAT scene... this trailer has a whole new meaning now. I mean, all this trailer is telling me now is that ellie is suffering from delusions and mental collapse... and Joel is a figment.
If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself...
segro123 if they would of went with that storyline that would of been one hell of fucking game ngl
I think the words you're looking for are "false advertising" 😬
It's not false advertising ur just misinterpreting the narrative and plot
This was by far the worst "big" game to be released for many many years.
Story line made absolutely no sense, if you dont feel that way yet, replay the game with the knowledge you have from the previous game on each known character, and try to make sense of the story and u will see that it was not just a bad game but I still cant believe the devs got paid to release this game.
Awful i dont mind the ending, the way the story went just the reasoning behind the key parts of the story line was so broken.
It was as if there were 6 or 7 different authors all combined to make this story and I would not be surprised if this actually was the case.
The entire game felt rushed into production and so many things in the story did not add up.
I think the saddest thing about this game is how realistic it is. If humanity was plunged into chaos like the way this story happened, people would eventually fight and kill each other for resources and survival. And these tragic cycles of vengeance would start-not because people wanted them to happen, but because they "did what they had to" to survive.
Exactly. There’s no right or wrong. Just decisions made by humans based in what seems right for them

When this trailer dropped for me, it was 100% clear that Joel here is dead and she was talking about hunting down his killers, how this wasn't picked up by other people I will never know.
The imagery of Joel appearing out of white light, the lyrics alluding to a lone gunman wandering the land hoping for mercy for their actions, Ellie's direct words, those words and the hateful, sad tone could only be used for one person, and the last identifier that Joel is dead, we don't see his face, nor do we see him properly at all, we see faint glimpses of him, like he's a ghost.
Pretty much everyone knew Joel would die, we just hate how he died
@@somethingofascientist58 It seems some people were totally caught off guard by his death, some people expected the second game to be pretty much the first but with more guns
It was fairly obvious he was dead from this video, quite alot of people picked up on it.
i saw all those joel is dead theories but refused to believe they'd kill him like that, and the fake joel reveal from that other trailer (where it was actually jesse in-game) just kind of confirmed that joel wouldn't be the reason for her revenge

Ellie is such an exceptional character. She is kind, generous, lovely and yet at the same time brave, dedicated and vengeful. I never loved any character in a game this much.
Where was this scene in the game? Have they removed this sequence from the game itself? Because I have not seen such a scene in the game!
@@alimoghaddar3571this trailer was sort of fake out. They didn’t want to give away the twist.
She's not generous or lovely, she's just a teenager with tons of flaws, selfish, with a real part of darkness. This makes her an ambiguous character, just like her father - and most importantly, that's what makes a damn good character.
@@t4ncho I disagree with your opening few words, but agree with the rest. We see in the first game, how she sees beauty in a world gone to shit, and tries to help others. I do agree though, that due to all that went on with her, even outside of what happens in this game, that she was born to violence, and is a natural at it, which brings around her dark side. Dina says something in the game at the party when Ellie is feeling anxious "oh Ellie I think every one in this room should be terrified of you" - and she's right; Ellie's rage is almost boundless, and it almost breaks her as she loses everything going on this path. Its enthralling and horrifying to watch, and does make her a terrific character to follow.

Of particular note to consider now that we've already completed the game that definitely allude to Joels fate:
* He walks in surrounded by light. As if from beyond to deliver his message
* He's oddly clean (for the most part) meanwhile Ellie looks like she's been in a war
* You never see his face. Almost as if he's a shade. Also if you've seen his fate you probably wouldnt want to
How you gonna do me like that😭😭 now I’m more sad
I think it's also beautiful how he appears just when ellie starts playing the guitar. Because it was their thing. :(
I remember when the trailer first dropped, a fair number of people thought it seemed at least somewhat apparent that avenging Joel was gonna be the central focus of the game. It made the backlash to it when it became a reality seem very odd to me
It's a metaphor, analogy or whatever it's called. Joel asks her if she's going to continue (with the revenge) and even though the idea of him tells her that she is not sure, she does it the same, looking and hoping to kill each one. And the song is also perfect, because it represents the same, that no one would agree with her in what she chooses but she already accepts that she's not walking the path of right. It's genius and now I get it.
So he's a shade, interesting, kind of like how updated sales figures for this game don't exist.

Carla B you are right, you’re right! This is possibly the Longest time I have ever waited for a game to be released...
Uncharted 3, TLOU, And the remastered of Spyro was hard enough. Did they actually release the TLOU 2 trailer Three Years Ago!!?!?!??? I’ll say this though. At least they did give us that. Instead of saying they’re making the game with no news of the trailer At All. Now that would have been messed up 😅😂
I know right, I'm soo pissed but I know the wait will be worth it in the end!!!
The first time i watch the trailer, i said, "Well she is on a rampage about someone else, maybe the death of Riley or a close one, family" but after the game came out and Joel died, i finally understand that the trailer was the mind of Ellie, and that Joel is only "like" a ghost or a flashback, you see him totally clean and calm (dead already) asking to Ellie if she is really going through all that killing spree, following the path of vengeance for his death. So the trailer really told you that Joel was already dead without playing the game at least for 5 minutes. Just amazing!
Chills
I feel like they should've put this scene in the game as a dream or something, it would also further justify Ellie's decision at the very end

So in the teaser's that joel is in, we don't really see Joel's face, maybe thats a symbol to Joel's death and a symbol that joel isn't really there and Ellie is just hallucinating...
The main symbol to Joel's death is the fact that he is hardly in any of the trailers and when he is it's at the beginning and not throughout the scenes
Joel isn't there. He's a memory. She doesn't respond to his question and she doesn't look at his direction. To me this indicates that he's not really there (besides from being in her mind).
Or you know.... we got a completely different game
Why Joel then in every single trailer ? Its scam
We learned that Ellie has PTSD so this kinda makes sense in a way.
Ellie: “I’m going to find, and kill every last one of them”
Neil Druckmann: *”Well yes, but actually no”*
They hadn’t decided who lives and who dies yet lol
And it makes sense, deciding not to go through with it is an important moment for her character. The hatred that Ellie harbors for Abby is an externalized reflection of the hatred Ellie feels towards herself. Why? Well Ellie hates Abby for torturing Joel to death, especially because she didn't get a chance to restore her relationship with Joel. This is a mirror because Ellie also tortured Joel, she did it for years but in a different way, and I'd say in a way that was more painful for Joel, and that was by distancing herself from him and ending her relationship with him. She hates herself for torturing him like that and not restoring their relationship when there was time. That's the real pain she has been avoiding facing during this entire revenge quest. When she has the flashback to the scene on the porch with Joel and spares Abby, she's not just forgiving Abby, she's really forgiving herself and finally coming to terms with what happened between her and Joel, so she leaves his guitar in the house to rest and allows herself to start a new life.

She killed all those men by her playing and singing, what are you talking about?
SalsaCookies Or after walking in and finding them all dead. Maybe she knew them and that’s why she seemed so vengeful when she said she wanted to, “kill every last one of them”, and why she seemed upset and stretched her fingers before she started playing.
Definitely not psychotic
The corpses in the house are probably their allies, here's my hypothesis; Joel and Ellie went outside for supplies or something but then when they came back, the house is ransacked while they heard a vehicle trailblazing away from the area, Joel tried to chase the vehicle. With a bad feeling in her gut, Ellie stayed behind to look for survivors only to find both of their allies dead, minutes later: Joel failed to hunt down the men who ransacked their base and came back to meet Ellie.
It's probably a revenge or a warning. Either way, it's just a theory.

@@zanjisu imagine telling somebody that he's not old enough
The way Joel fades in from the fog is beautiful yet haunting. As if her song conjured his spirit from the other side.
Ellie: "I'm going to find and kill every last one of them... Apart from the one person who actually killed Joel"
Hahaha yep. But as I was playing rejoicing that I was about to drown Abby I thought, “damn, what would Joel say about me drowning her.” I’d imagine that’s why Ellie let her live.
They should’ve give us a choice then. Such a disappointment
Okay I don't get it, I just watched the whole playthrough from PewDiePie and Joël is still alive, did I miss something? what more do I need to watch/ play before I'm playing this one?
You need to watch his Part 2.
But if it was the others way around Joel would murder everyone like the hospital
My favorite part is when its 2019 and im still waiting :)
Don’t rush it man. The longer we wait the better the game will be
My fav part is when I buy this crap of anthem..
I'm pretty sure it comes out June this year or next year.
@rp games I looked it up and it said October 2019 but it's not confirmed by the devs it was just leaked so it might be changed.
Wicked lmao might still have to wait until oct/November
I just wish one thing for the last of us part 2 Ellie knows how to swim 😂😂
The Real SB get on the pallet
Well in the first game Ellie asked Joel to teach her, and he promised to teach her to play guitar and he did so he probably taught that too
apparently teaching her guitar was more important he forgot to teach her how to swim. so find them pallets
yep same don't tell me she still can't swim 😂😂
The Real SB Seriously. Its like Learn how to swim already. Haha
Coming back to watch this after several completions of TLoU2 and it never hit me until JUST NOW that Joel walks out of an impercievable light (symbolic of him being gone) and him walking up and questioning her is actually her mind and not because hes actually there.
First teenage Clementine and now a teenage (or young adult) Ellie

Nah its not.
No it's not
The fact that Joel is dead at this point and Ellie is just talking to him in her mind

Game Ellie: lmao
underrated comment lmaoooo
Wtf truu
This bitch killed Joel? Aight imma let you live
@GraySkies I think so Ellie is in her imagination and imagining all these things if it is then last of us 3 would be a hit just if they somehow manage to revive Joel and make the storyline even better the ending of lou 2 make me depressed 😖
Started out swearing to kill every last one of them but didn't kill the last one she started to kill

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA
I can see now that this is her conscience conflicting with each other. She can picture Joel questioning her loss of sanity for revenge but she just can't let it go.
After watching the gameplay trailer at E3 maybe it’s Ellie’s girlfriend they killed and now she’s all pissed and wants to kill everyone.
Please Joel don’t be dead...
I thought Joel died and she was just imagining him here to confirm that she's killing for revenge.
I hope, no offense but Joel is the best and I dont want him to die like ever and I know that's selfish but like so is Joel so yeah
he's in the fucking video.
Savannah Echeverria So Ellie imagined Joel walking down the hall and seeing all the people she's already killed? That makes no sense. It comes across like Ellie is after revenge and Joel went after her but caught up after she already finished killing off all the enemies.
Not to mention, in the gameplay trailer, a guy says to Ellie, "Your old man scares me."
Can anyone remember Joel saying to Ellie at the end "I will teach you how to play the guitar after all of this" ?????

What a time to be a gamer😍😍🤑👌
The sad thing about this game is that people die so quickly and you can’t have a reaction to it.. like you’re just kind of like oh well and then you have to move on.
I think part of that is intentional? I dunno, I’d imagine in that world you would often lose people and have to just move on. Tess’ death in the first game is sorta reminiscent. There are certain times where both games slow down and give you a second to process what happened, like after Henry and sam died, and in tlou2, after Joel died. A moment to breathe and feel before pressing forwards.
Even Jessie’s death, which I found devastating because I LOVED Jessie, is fitting in the context of the world. How many people in the world of tlou go just like that? How many people as either Joel or Ellie have we shot while they walk beside their friends? In a world where nothing is guaranteed and death is a constant companion, I’m glad we were able to see that aspect.
(Also, it adds to the way ellie internalized Joel’s behaviours and lessons. In the first game he was very strictly “people die. We move on. Don’t talk about it.” In tlou2 we see Ellie carry that with her, mentioning in her journal how she’s unable to talk about Joel or Jessie and wonders how Dina does so easily. It’s another way in which Ellie picked up on Joel and mirrored him.)
You don't get it
Guess what, it happend in part 1 with Henry, Tess, Sam, Malene just to name a few.
@@DeathMetalJedi pussy just because a lot of us don’t like the story in part 2 does not mean we don’t get it 🤓🤓🤓🤓
@Houston we got a problem looks like you don't get it either
The trailer points out a whole different story than the actual game
Yea and that's what pisses me off more than the game itself. IT made me build all these expectations which just got flushed down the drain
Sri Alekhya Nanduri Yeah exactly I was expecting Ellie and Joel to do things together again just like before and the game blew that off in the first 2 hours of game
if you look carefully there were all the signs that joel would be dead... him coming from the light, him asking her "are YOU really gonna go through with this", and her words full of hate...
it's just that we didn't wanna see it
@@brainstew1723 i knew joel died. I don't know about people think Dina died

@ No one guaranteed that Joel will still be alive, it was never promised dumbass. If you're complain of him not in the game then that is not true. He is in numerous flash back.

Primio Rodríguez I’m actually happy she didn’t do it
While Ellie killed everyone in the house playing the guitar, she’s literally having PTSD after Joel’s death.
He really isn’t in the house with her. It’s all in her mind.

how do you know that?

@@end8316 forgot that she saved his life

@@eiichinakane5822 it seems forced and less fluid than the first. Way too quipy
King Christophis I been playing it and I think I’m close to the end. The gameplay is amazing but the story is definitely forced and they are just going for shock factor instead of a good emotional story like the first time
@@juliusjanagap6545 I've only been watching it, but that's a good way to describe it
@@juliusjanagap6545 absolutely, not only is it forced, but Neil probably thought he was being "artistic" and a storytelling genius, when in reality he just created one of the most pointless storylines in history. If this doesn't get a sequel to patch things up they would've absolutely ruined a masterpiece for no reason.
Anyone feel like golfing?

seeing Joel's face brings me warmth.. trying to forget the looks after that incident..
Indeed, as also intended for the rest of the game - the flashbacks with Joel are literally just to salt the wound.

Watching this now it really seems like Joel is a ghost in Ellie's mind
Makes a lot of sense. The light in the background and green grass. It’s like his spirit was trying to talk to Ellie and convince her not act on revenge. At first I thought she was going to get revenge because they killed her girlfriend Dina.
@@supremeleader247 Yeah I kind of knew he would die but I didn't think it would be in the second game and not this early and in this way...
Côme Besnard would have been a lot better if Joel died in a gunfight defending Ellie. The way they took out Joel was still shocking, he shouldn’t have gone out like that.
@@supremeleader247 I mean I get what they were going for with his death, it could have even stayed like that if we had a build up for it like introducing Abby's motives and her friends or something. The second part is not enjoyable at all because we don't have on objective view of her that's why her "redemption arc" doesn't work for me. Ellie makes some stupid mistakes too that are so unlike her character and everything Joel taught her.
@@supremeleader247 Sorry this just turned into me ranting... Whatever the game still had some good moments with the flashbacks and the romance with Dina.

This story challenged most gamers. It's a very mature game. We're used to black and white, good and bad, perhaps with major/minor flaws, but overall unmistakably good/bad characters. This game challenged us emotionally and logically. It's beautiful. One of, if not the BEST games out there.
