My favorite ending to a game still. interpretation But what this really is is a perfect character driven moment; Ellie wants Joel to be honest with her so she demands him to swear he wasn't lying. Joel wants Ellie to be happy because he loves her like a daughter and would clearly do anything for her at this point, so he lies to her to placate her emotions, to keep her with him. And here I think Ellie sees through his lie, and even sees his intent behind it. Realizing why Joel lies to her, Ellie is content because she finally has the thing she's wanted this whole time; a parent who cares about her in this cruel world.

this is probably the most "going under the skin" story told in a video game ever, iconic atmosphere, brutal soundtrack, grorgous gfx, brilliant controls and AI for its time, truly a masterpiece, had seen leaks of it in 2007, heard they took "I am Legend" themes for their game as a blueprint for their post apocalypic scenary.

I think the second game had a good concept but bad execution.

[@smileyheadshot]

I agree. Had Joel’s death been more thought out, logical and respectable, I don’t think people would’ve had the same sort of reaction. Also, I wish there was more choice. Let us choose whether to spare or kill Abby, sort of like a telltale game.

[@kaotiqx]

@@smileyheadshot interesting concept. Another thing that popped into my head regarding the ending was instead of Ellie letting Abby go, she instead kills her and realises it brought her no peace at all. I know it's not really your classical happy ending but I sometimes it's nice to see something go against the grain.

[@connorbranscombe6819]

@@smileyheadshot Well considering theres a Last of Us 3 planned, that woulda been really dumb to let the player choose to kill Abby or not. It'd be like in Tlou1 having the choice to leave the hospital, I mean sure you could do it, but why add in an ending that completely defeats the entire story of the game?

[@ShutInCuber]

All the debate about selfishness, whether what he did was right or wrong, whether it was justified, whether or not the cure or vaccine was possible: That's the whole entire point. You have to question it. You have to think what you would do in that situation. He made a human choice. A choice that's cold, maybe even heartless in a way. But it's one that makes sense, one that even if you don't like it, you can see how he got there. This ending makes us think what's moral, what's just, and what's worth it. That's the real point of a story: a theme. We get close to characters because we empathize with them and eventually associate their story with ours. All this debate and all the points made are important, and correct at least to a degree. We analyze all this to make a conclusion on what we feel the right decision was. And from that, we learn. That's a theme. And let me tell you, even if the theme is technically open ended and up for interpretation (which are arguably the best themes in media) instead of a simple phrase... No matter your conclusion, it's one hell of a fucking theme. And I for one am eating it up like nothing else.

[@Jonesy55626]

The way Ellie says okay gets me every time

[@AbeRempel]

They just used this song in episode 6 for a different scene, so I'm a little nervous they won't use it again. They also used the giraffe music in episode 3, so we'll see about that scene too. I feel like a lot of the emotional scenes in the game would not have been as emotional if not for the perfectly fitting soundtrack. So far a lot of scenes in the show have been held back because the music isn't the same (like Sarah's death or Joel and Ellie's argument in the bedroom).

[@Boobie-c6d]

Joel did the human thing.=

[@bluesyrupgc4224]

I always think that Ellie knows the lie since the car ride back to Jackson, because she knows Marlene wouldn’t have made such a big deal if the Fireflies have other immunes. The way I interpret it, the ending is really sad: - This time, Joel can’t say he kills people for surviving anymore. He consciously chose to massacre people. - Ellie thought her purpose in life is meaningless now. The whole game, Ellie thought she is special, made to cure humanity, which is why people died but she lives. But then when Joel said none of that matters anymore. - Joel lied to Ellie, officially making their further relationship being built on a lie.

[@smileyheadshot]

Let’s not pretend the people he massacred were innocent. The Fireflies were essentially a terrorist group. (Also, you can go through the whole hospital, killing only the one surgeon who threatens you with a scalpel and Marlene) I’d argue he is still killing for survival, the survival of Ellie. He has a valid reason to commit his acts. They wouldn’t have ever been able to make a fungal vaccine with those limited resources in a decrepit hospital running off of generators. Currently, there’s still never been a vaccine developed for fungal infections and thats irl with our countless resources around the globe. The only realistic way for her mutation to help others is by her having children in the future and them receiving her immunity gene. Eventually, many many years from then repopulating the world with people who’ve developed immunity. The sad reality is they knew she’d die, yet she was never informed of that. They were more than willing to kill an innocent child for nothing. Joel simply did what any “father” would do in that situation.

[@bluesyrupgc4224]

@@smileyheadshot that is true as well. That is what made TLOU so great in my opinion: different people have different interpretations. I wholeheartedly agree with what you said, and the thing with Ellie not being informed that she will be killed is also a valid reason for rescuing her because she was never given a choice in the first place.
