A Lie Don’t Care Who Tell It! - Voice Actor Reacts to The Last of Us Part II [6]

[@cosmo_3]

I love Gabe looking at LIVE TOMATO PLANTS and going "you know what? no one lives here I need to CHILL" and immediately getting attacked 💀

[@TahoeNevada]

Seeing *live* tomato plants raised a huge red flag for me the first time I played.

[@marcinkosinski89]

Do you mean to tell us these circular, reddish ball plants don't grow themselves? My, my :)

[@yuikoo0613]

I was waiting all yesterday for this upload ❤ Things are starting to get serious

[@GabeKundaTV]

Sorry for keeping ya waiting. Life be life-ing!

[@fulcrum8108]

gabe, please go back to the first page of her journal before you read it. you’re reading it backwards every time and it’s killing me😭

[@cinemasloan8183]

I've never screamed louder at the TV then when you were trying to figure out that rope puzzle 😅

[@AlexYBITW]

It's crazy how sometimes he doesn't understand the simplicity of those puzzles

[@SilenceP81]

Lol!!! Me too!!!!😂😂😂

[@CON5CRYPT]

Fyi Ashley johnson (ellie va) was also in the live action. She played ellies mum

[@rafaelnussi2001]

The next scene right after the flashback of the argument between Ellie and Joel, is Ellie stitching her wound. I had never made that connection, but that's exactly what Joel does in a metaphorical way. Their relationship is clearly not the same anymore, the lie he told and betrayed Ellie's trust left a wound, which he tries to stitch up through continually trying to sustain that lie.

[@slickstar96]

Also note Ellie does the same thing joel does in that scene when she can see dina visibly agitated by ellie constant pursuit without waiting on jesse she goes "what" prompting dina to say "nothing" on the defence in where she finishes the sentence by saying "good". Same like joel where he says anything else to rehash. Putting ellie on the defence with no and him finishing it off with "good" the parallels are everywhere in this game...

[@SubTXT_]

damn good catch

[@igloo2158]

HUD is what you were referring to. You’re doing great. This episode is where you see Ellie slipping into obsession a bit. Dina knew she couldn’t slow her down, similar to an addict. Next episode is gonna be 🔥.

[@aishad127]

5:36 does Ellie flinch when Tommy starts shooting? That's crazy detail

[@verrr14]

yes. npcs do that too. i tried to shoot right next to dina once and she flinched. it’s so cool

[@AlleB06]

Such a good game. I can definitely understand why people don't like it due to how they handle joel etc but the storytelling is without a doubt amazing

[@ToastyZach]

Joel is written and handled perfectly fine. People were just mad their favorite character got cracked open so they called the game shit. Druckmann (and even Abby's VA) were sent literal death threats over it. If I was Druckmann I would RUIN part 3 just to get back at those virgs lol

[@cozydayzandnightz]

Simon and Page are, imo, the best set of notes in the game. Over the missed context clues, the corpse next to the noose in the building is Page, which makes the whole thing even more tragic. The deserters who ambush you is also an awesome subversion of expectations; there are so many aspects in this episode and the next which are excellent!

[@SubTXT_]

Listening to your thoughts about the lie and how maybe it would've gone better if he was just straight with her from the beginning... While potentially true, one of the things I really like about the nuances of the writing -- and I hadn't even thought about it until just now -- is that it's so believable that Joel would've thought she couldn't handle the truth. We often lie to people to soften the blow of things and we ESPECIALLY do that with kids. An attempt to not only "protect" them from the truth or hide any morally gray areas that may change how they view us, but also because we just genuinely think kids can't handle such moral complexity. And while some kids can -- as even 15-year-old Ellie probably could -- there is some truth to it. I can think of so many times when I think back on my parents choices and decisions as an adult and think, "I get it," whereas I never really understood it back then. It feels like the solution would be so easy in hindsight, but it's fascinating to really depict and explore something so reckless and yet fairly realistic. Reminds me a bit of really dissecting a lot of character choices made in shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

[@cjkorra23-k4s]

About the "no HUD thing" you're right about that. I also think one of the reasons that Naughty Dog is doing minimalistic HUDs on their recent games is to lessen "distractions" like what you said and to keep the players immersed with the story and experience. I think I've heard that from one of their interviews or something (or from one of their documentaries). Anyways! Just wanted to let you know, I'm a new subscriber to your channel here! I REALLY LOVE your commentaries and reactions. Please keep them coming! I binged watch your Last of Us gameplay for the past few days and I just caught up with your recent video. I hope you'd play more games from Naughty Dog as well. Any chance we'll see Uncharted gameplay from your channel in the future? The Uncharted series is also one of the beloved games from Naughty Dog and one of my all-time favorites. Would love to see your reactions to it someday. Thanks so much for sharing your reactions!

[@behemothokun]

You dont actually need to throw items to smash glass, you can use a melee attack.

[@ohyiiii]

Banger after banger!!

[@madsflo3649]

You're almost halfway done! Can't wait for the next parts! So excited for you!!! 😁😁

[@JDD_MD]

Ellie was so mad at Joel for not letting her speak to the fireflies but tbh they weren’t trying to hear her questions. They took an unconscious little girl out of the sewer and put her straight onto an operating table to end her life without saying anything to her.

[@marcinkosinski89]

The way I see it: I think Ellie felt guilty about having the irresistible urge to follow her path of vengeance even though Dina's pregnancy was clearly a priority, something that screamed, "It's time to head back." Naturally, she felt relieved when she found out someone she trusts-Jesse-is there to take care of Dina while she's away looking for the people who wronged her and Tommy.

[@Lattrodon]

Those were the 4 deserters from the note that jumped you

[@ashthesmash08]

all the mo-cap/voice actors for Tommy, Joel, Ellie and Abby are all in the show actually. I love that they did that also, the flashbacks start really happy and then just get sadder and sadder, you ain't even readyyyyyyyy

[@fitnessandfandom]

I love your Previously Ons

[@robertgrace6182]

You can find a KZbin video from (I believe) an epidemiologist explaining how Joel was right, did he but know it, as you can’t immunise against a fungus (if I recall the explanation correctly, I can’t find the video to confirm just now). It just adds another layer to the whole mess. I hope it comes up in the third game.

[@metallicmarshmellow5397]

To me, ellie immediately going after Nora is the red flag that maaaaaybe Ellie’s starting to get overly obsessive about taking out Abby. Dina asks if she’s going right now, because Ellie and Jessie literally JUST got back, and she’s already set on going back out.

[@UrlikePappa]

i discovered your youtube yesterday and im already waiting for your video.

[@snekums]

Me too 😂😂

[@GeminiFranzina]

Here you can really start to see how Ellie isn’t herself anymore at all, she’s trying so hard to be like Joel but she’s not him. Poor Ellie, can’t wait for you to get to the end of this game. An emotional rollercoaster

[@SilenceP81]

21:22 there was a trading card in that car in the water.😁

[@Jimmie_Rudolfsson]

Great video as always Gabe

[@spry2125]

‘it’s okay to be at peace in this game’ were gabes famous last words ☠️

[@angelscrownttv]

What you mean is a UI, or just Interface. And yeah, games without obvious Interface are so much more immersive somehow.

[@fitnessandfandom]

"Ellie is living the consequences of Joel's actions." Bro. seriously. (@46:19)

[@v44mpirelily]

I can't wait until you play the ending, everything in this game is so utterly heartbreaking.

[@Lx-LP]

36:09 bless you and thank you for the amazing series so far 💕

[@kirklanddees]

I really liked your insight on the conviction in Joel's voice in doubling down on the lie. However, I had a slightly different interpretation on what was happening: It's not just that he had convinced himself of a lie-when he says the words "there was no cure" he's quite literally telling the truth. For him, sacrificing Ellie is such a non-option that it doesn't even exist as a possibility for him. If a cure meant letting her die, then in Joel's mind, "there was no cure", full stop.

[@bully33]

WHY do you keep forgetting that you can melee a glass window instead of wasting a bottle or a brick ahhhhhh

[@SilenceP81]

59:50 the rope is obviously not long enough to throw from that side.😂😂😂😂

[@mattmiltenberger145]

10:00 remember the saying "aim small, miss small" brotha, you got this! (don't ask me why i'm quoting The Patriot)

[@AylaBelli]

fun thing about the Tommy section where he lets you use his rifle. if you shoot the trucks window on the 2nd trail ya'll overlook. he'll comment on how its a smart way to draw them out.

[@sarahphillips9644]

Ellie and Dina's conversation about Nora mirroring Ellie questioning Joel about the Fireflies and the cure, GOD the writing is so good. "Anything else you'd like to rehash?" "No." "Good." "What?" "Nothing." "Good."

[@R989D]

Also maybe because the new seasons starts soon and/or my phone knows I’m watching reactions to the game, I got an advert for a book “The Last of Us and Philosophy: Look for the Light” sounds quite interesting actually. Might be something you’d also find interesting. I’ve added to cart to sleep on it (2025 the year for less impulse buys haha)

[@Kristofaszxd]

the screen is clear 😭, you were right tho its called HUD

[@GabeKundaTV]

Lolol it was tearing me UP 😭

[@rahindawjee7616]

Bro, human enemies can see your flashlight. You need to make a habit of putting it off around them

[@Stonecrow99]

"Mike is a wonderful name" 😅

[@lc8339]

19:55 HUD works, you could also say UI or GUI, user interface or graphical user interface. but yeah, HUD technically isn't wrong

[@GabeKundaTV]

Gotchaaaa

[@luisianazc6417]

FINALLYYY

[@strawberryshortkek]

Surprised to see nobody point out how the lookout u explore as flashback Ellie is the same ski lodge Tommy, Joel and Abby pass through when escaping the horde from the beginning.

[@GabeKundaTV]

I thought that but didnt wanna be wrong lolol

[@TahoeNevada]

Joel and Ellie finally have "The Talk" about PPE...

[@oceanviewer2025]

"I swear"

[@Bandalil]

"What the world became because of Joels action?" your words - If fireflys had got an Vaccine, who would have benefited from it? All people? Or had they start fighting all over for it? They wouldn't have had the means to produce it on a large scale. (sry my english is not good)

[@frikadell]

I can never really bother to watch the first part of the game. I already want the second part! I find it so much more interesting and better overall😂

[@KayinAngel]

1:12:15 sometimes you need to trust your instincts, lol

[@R989D]

1:13:12 Come on Gabe you know better than that! Never trust Naughty Dog or Dr Uckmann 😂😂😂 This scared the BAJEEEEZUS out of mr the first time.

[@GabeKundaTV]

Im never going to look at a crafting table the same AGAIN.

[@Zerocool77]

Do your realy think the Fireflyes would share the cure. And til What Cost?. If it worked

[@asmrmoony]

38:17 thats crazy gabe LMAO

[@bluvnder.1307]

Can you please upload the next one faster?? Plz plz plz :(

[@23ebnerbrad]

It’s about to get wild here soon!😂

[@Cabaal33]

for crying out loud...use quick throw

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES

[@johnwilliamivjones2679]

Gabe, What was left of humanity isn’t worth an Ellie- multiply that with what Joel has been through, I would do the same. What I take out from this is life moves on - the earth is even more beautiful without humans. There were billions of years of it without us. In terms of intelligence, one could argue that the fungus is superior - only has a different set of goals.

[@michaelharrison8920]

Joe must be a doctor to say there was no cure how the hell does he know how can Ellie know the truth when she was unconscious at the time joe convinced himself that the lie was the only way to to tell Ellie that there was no cure and she should never know the truth.Seen a lot of people play this game and everyone’s says something different thanks see what you think 🤔 when you play Nora’s story to then bye 🙋‍♂️
