If you only like stories that make you feel good at the end then you don’t like storytelling as an art and are just conditioned to think that a great story = feeling good about it.
Man when Joel walked into that operating room. He was different. He didn’t care who he killed or had to go through. Trying to reason with him seemed to only make him madder
the moment when u realize after his death that he literally became his daughter doing what she did in the first game which was guiding all of us through the prologue 😢

Its the look of someone that will crush the skull of anyone that would get in his way (saving ellie). Its really funny seeing the "veterinarian" (wasnt even a doctor) trying to get in his way). That "doctor" wouldn't have been able to make a vaccine EVER. He only would have succeeded in killing Ellie.

God I love this whole scene. What a beautiful scene to start off a beautiful and tragic game. I will always remember the emotions I felt while playing this for the first time. :)
Exactly. But I believe Joel actually was a hero just by being able to survive as many years as he did in the extremely cruel world he had to live in! He will be remembered, by his fans, FOREVER. He lives there eternally!!
For killing of Joel in a cheap way after he was that build up in the first part.. yes it does. Im not even buy Part 3 if there is ever coming one becouse this game for me was about Joel and to some extend ellie. Couldn’t care less for Abby or any other new main Charakter they try to introduce. I
@leejet4730 if you paid attention to the subtle clues of Abby's guilt in killing Joel I think they did try to make us sympathize with her. When Yara asked her why she saved them from the Seraphites, can't remember the exact wordings but Abby said something like trying to make up for something, heavily implying that she feels guilt for killing Joel.
Nice job Johnathon. P.S Glad you added subtitles into this video. Although i understand english it is also sometimes a hard time follow some words, since i don't know all of them.
When I saved her from the doctors room, I used a flamethrower and scorched em while simultaneously letting Al Pacinos voice from Scent of a Woman exlaim, "TAKE A FLAMETHROWER TO THIS PLACE"
Never noticed this mistake(?) In their render for this scene, as Joel is walking away. He seems to shrink sort of. Look at those two on the right near the white picket fence, they're fuckin giants compared to Joel. 😅
Naughty Dog never cease to amaze, they always put little things in there you wouldn't think of, when the sun is shining through the trees and Joel puts his arm up to shield his eyes is such a cool little touch

Yes, good intentions, but they never would have succeeded in making a working vaccine (for example, how exactly did they plan to mass production it and the distribution?) IMHO, the Fireflys were just a bunch of idiots! Joel alone finished all of them off!! Hahaha! That tells you something!
The way I see it, fireflies would've used this cure or at least the promise of a cure as political leverage on other groups who don't have a cure to gain power.
They better make the last of us remake hard asf, I want it to be so hard it makes me cry from how difficult it is. That'll be all I ask for from the last of us remake. Better guns and more difficult tasks added on, and a longer story with alot more blood and gore graphics
This first part of Joel and Tommy talking have a deep historyline than the entire rest of this game. Very sad, technically it's the best game of all time, now historically...
Watching this scene after the show. Breaks my heart knowing joel dies in the next season. I would've done the same if it was my daughter in that operating room.
It’s the human response. Anyone and everyone would do it. People who argue “for the greater good” don’t really think that way. The moment it turns out to be someone they love in peril everything changes. Long winded way of saying Joel was absolutely right.
@@Devil_Slayer i bet they want to introduce Abby in the first or second episode. Give her a back story to try make us empathize with her so much that some show fans won't hate her that much at the end for her actions. But all depends on HBO, if they agree with split a fandom just like naughty dog did with TLOU part 2 😂
You know it's a biased opinion but I felt Joel's death was meaningless I feel he should of went out in a bigger and better way not like shooting a wounded horse I feel he should of went out protecting ellie from whoever or whatever but I felt joel as the badass he is should of had a grand exit I love the 2nd game but his death pisses me off joel is a freak of nature and should of went out with a warriors death on his feet fighting till his very last breath just my opinion like I said I love the second game but his death could've been so much more than what it was
Agreed I wish they made it to where joel sets explosives around and has to fight like a lot of bad guys and zombies Till the timer goes off and takes him and all the monsters with him. Saving ellie and Tommy as well like something like that would have been a better way for him to go.
I get people are pissed about his death. But solely using that to call this game terrible is painful to hear. They clearly didn’t understand the world these characters live in and what they go through.
not only that but they missed the point of the game. there is no hero. there is no villian. everyone just needs to survive. joel got karma because he killed a girl’s father - and naughty dog wanted us to face and even question our own morality of justice by showing us abby’s side. love this story and game as a whole so much.
@@cartmanofsp in my opinion they could’ve done more than a simple revenge is bad and nobody is good in this world. Wish they focused more on the infected and had more likeable new characters. All the new characters that I liked were killed
Hottake: Part II is better than Part I storywise and I dont get the hate for it. The only legitmate critique is the pacing. (Forcing you to do Days 1-3 twice instead of making it all integrated) ALSO, I will add that this is the worst game to try to complete in one sitti g or do long marathons in because the game is legitimately depressing and dour.
hottake i love! need to agree. i always find myself coming back to this game in shitty times because of the atmosphere and revenge-based story. it’s so beautiful. it’s so packed. pacing being the only legitmate critique is also not wrong. the game sure does take a while to complete and it gets a little much when replaying for the 4th-5th time especially after completing it (platinum trophy). i’m not old enough to have appreciated part I as much as older fans because I wasn’t mentally old enough to play it back in 2013-15, but now that i’m in my prime for seeing part II? it grabbed me.
As someone who never played the last of us until it game out on PC, I don't understand why people are attached to Joel. I assume I'm not spoiling the story line of the first game for anyone at this point, but didn't Joel basically murder dozens of people to protect one girl, the consequences of which could easily spell the doom for the entire human race? You know I get that people have emotional attachments. But at some point, doesn't the fact that you're screwing over the entire human race kind of overwhelm such a narrow-minded morality as "I have to save that little girl"? This is like the trolley problem 101. Joel deserves to die. I don't care what he did, his decisions were unbelievably selfish and narrow minded
@@orlandoacosta2631 Don’t get me wrong, while I love this game, I have many issues with the story it chose to tell and how it told said story. But there is nothing SJW about this story. Ellie being gay was something that has been established sense the first game. And Abby herself is shown to have a very clear attraction to male and males only.
The opening scene was like, "Guys. This will be the last time you'll play as Joel.......So savor this moment.."

The game starts so peacefully and there is a great contrast with the events that follow later in the game. It's the quiet before the storm.
