Scars/Seraphites - Characters Purpose Breakdown - The Last Of Us Part 2 

I was also disappointed that the Scars/Seraphites story didn't really go anywhere. I really thought they were going to be a major antagonist within the game. I didn't catch onto the good vs bad Scars btw until you mentioned it. Interesting. It also reminds me of the museum chapter, where Ellie sees all the graffiti on the wall. Then we come to find out that it was a young person who joined the Fireflies who wrote the graffiti. We find his skeletal remains with a note and spray can beside him. During my first play through, after reading that note, I contemplated if it was foreshadowing what was to become for Ellie. Was she going to end up alone like him? And at the end of the museum chapter Ellie and Joel see a Firefly logo on the wall with "Liars" spray painted beneath it. Then it dawns on us that certain factions of the Fireflies were evil AF!!! So ya, I never noticed this with the Scars. I will pay attention to that during my second play. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm aware of the mirroring you're talking about. It's done quite a bit within the game. There's multiple layers, so-to-speak. I have my own conclusions but it will be interesting to hear yours, to see if we have similar interpretations. I still think it sucks!

Id like to know about the one who started the scars and who taught them the bow hunting and whistle communication trade

Everyone is the bad guy. TLOU is the definition of "no right place to stand in a massacar".

Those scars were definitely feeding that black guy something different.

In a lot of the notes you see that some of the scars want an end to the fighting and brutality

The Seraphites are a cult. Lev and Yara are born-in cult members. Lev cannot choose who he is and so is forced to be who he is plus, as Abby brings up, Lev isn't one for following rules. But the fact remain that he is in a cult. A true believer. By his action he is excommunicated , shunned and sentenced to death by the leaders. Yara chooses the love she has for Lev over the cult but, they both are, at least in the beginning, still true believers and followers of Sera and so have to justify the choice to leave the group. This is very typical with cult members at the beginning of their journey of deprogramming and exiting a cult. For many it's hard to comprehend why someone who is otherwise a good person would go along with such horrible acts. Simple fact is that they are brainwashed from birth or by indoctrination. But for those like myself, who have been in a cult, it makes total sense. I was born into a cult and I didn't get out until I was 38. The writer(s) of this part of the game, either had first hand experience or really did their homework on cults. IMO they nailed it.

Can't wait for the TV show to look into this

I really like and enjoy those breakdowns :)

You are right about the problems in story writing with Lev and Yara. Lev not only wanted to become a warrior even though knowing about their disgusting habits but he wanted to become a warrior like Yara so she was already fighting.

4:40 they have radios and you can hear them tell eachother Issac is dead and abby killed him. But as ellie you hear there were no WLF survivors

I just took the biggest shit of my life and this video got me through it, you the real MVP

“They have this bullshit religious thing”

Yes, they would have stayed. But they were born into that and don’t really have anywhere to go. Even in actual religions some ppl do horrible things “for god” while other members of the same religion think god wouldn’t like what these other ppl are doing

4:02 Wasn't that the Scar village being attacked by the WLF? I'd assume that the WLF would not send all of their people to attack so there should be Wolves left. So I guess Abby did not return there because she killed Wolves and not necessarily because no Wolves were left.

“May she guide us” Not you

May she guide you 🙏

Thanks for making this video brotendo.

Been watching the shield amazing show, ita crazy how much sons of anarchy is referenced in a show that came out before it

nice one Ronny Haze.

Lev is Jackie Chan's real life daughter

Did you just used she with lev?

Idk if it woukda made the story better but maybe i I woukda liked it more if after yara and lev runs from the scars yara is attacked by isaac and him and a few wlf are the ones who breaks her arm but abby is the one that kills them and lastly isacc but no one else knows and abby becomes the new leader and she makes new laws against the scars or something. Idk maybe not much better i just didnt like the story for the main characters or the factions

Lev's pronounce are he/him

Hey Ronny I LOVE the content your pumping out but can I ask- why push all these videos out in a 24 hour period? You could have scheduled all these videos to premier like every Friday or something for the next several weeks, a video a week- that way your channel would have been putting out consistent content, and it would have given you some extra breathing room to work on more content like flaw and aws. Not judging dude, grateful for the content, I’m just trying to understand the strategy tho

Pretty much out of all the human factions after David and his Cannibals, the Scars were the #1 group I’d gladly wish we could have exterminated in game

Convoluted much?

The true purpose on why they are who they are is the narrative that religion is bad and new age is good. The point of this game is to push contemporary progressive propaganda and shit on the old way of doing things. Ellie leaves Joel's instrument indicating that he is to blame for all her problems. Joel's mannerisms and reference to the Lord is symbolic as well. He is this fatherly figure in spirit who Ellie kills for, representing GOD. The point is to make religion look bad and LGBT/Feminism/New Age look good. Evidence of this, 1:26 They essentially crucify people and maim them. It's a shot at GOD like all other media out here being pushed.

13 minutes lost of nothhing

These crazy people

I really like your video, but you used the wrong pronouns for Lev, which is kinda meh :/

👍😀❤❤

This lev problem, that's the thing with Abby's perspective, besides de revange on Joel, all her friends and problems are irrelevant. Who would care about a girl proclaiming herself as a dude when you have so much to worry... Wtf was this plot ?

9:02 You misgendered Lev 😐☝️

Misgendering Lev and then refusing to acknowledge and learn from your mistake gets you a big fat dislike. On top of your wildly rambling commentary seems to ignore known lore.

This whole game is a classic tale of: "those who seek revenge, remember to dig TWO graves"
