THE LAST OF US Season 1 Ending Explained! 

First first first first first

Great season finale can't wait for season 2😊.

You got the most outrageous intros my dude

Over-rated show. True Detective season one was better (except for the green ears thing) tlou lacked polish, much rather have a longer finale introducing Abby as opposed to ep 3. Clear to see what it was, why not cast a promising American/Mexican woman for "Ellie" instead of Bella, the accent was annoying.

@@KrishnaBheemul What's you're problem with Ep3? it was per.......LOL. Never mind we know.

Joel waited 20 years for something or someone to give meaning to heal him. Along came Ellie, the total opposite of this biological daughter. She saved Joel first, then he saved her. Every other episode they take turns saving each other - either physically or metaphorically

I was thinking that. Why tf didn’t he cover her ears?

Omg I was fuming !! She clearly asked him to

:) Probably they really scared somehow the poor baby.

Agreed. I think it was all the CGI around it, that made it look fake and a little out of place.

Haha yeah, it was a real giraffe against a blue screen with fake background.

@@ThinkStory green screen

@@KonaLife blue screen is used for CG, and honestly in of itself is a much better platform to use than a green screen

Awww maaannn😵‍💫

@@RealBradMiller 🤣🤣🤣

Part of me feels like HBO didn't want it competing with Succession so they kept it at 9 episodes.

Agreed. It was definitely rushed and I can't help but feel the relationship doesn't feel NEARLY as genuine as it does in-game. Either way it does the story justice, but I agree that the story was rushed and idk why they didn't stretch the season from 9 episodes to 11 or 12 episodes

yeah, i don't think there was even one safe cracking scene in the entire show!

@@MoxJosie2 Possibly. I personally loved how Yellowjackets came on AFTER Dexter: New Blood and having TLOU come on after Succession would have been a KILLER in watch-time for HBO, but we all know it's most likely a literal nightmare behind the scenes at the studio currently.

@@StanEscobar I love both versions of the characters and their relationships separately Troy and Ashley are the OGs while Pedro and Bella are absolutely perfectly cast. I stopped trying to compare the two versions after like ep 4, but I see what you mean.

in youtube the game feels different than tv. Probably, my opinion would change in the game, that's how different feels..

And the resemblance between the two! She was immediately believable as Ellie’s mom.

I know right, I had one of those instant “hang on I know this voice” moments

It was like the same house!

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT

😂😂 I was really wondering about this as well! How on earth do giraffes get through winter?? And how far would they need to migrate?? Also, they don't tend to migrate. These are too many questions. Just enjoy the beautiful scene.

haha thank you for this insight!

Why were those giraffes there

I'm pretty sure the Giraffes don't know the directions to Arizona or Mexico but I understand. Anything is possible because there are tropical Parrot colonies in the North East of the United States. They are able to survive winters.

I find it funny that episode 8 used the Bible in which God sacrifices his son to save the world. In the very next epsidoe Joel goes against the Bible just like David did in episode 8. Joel wouldn't sacrifice his "child" to save the world. Showing that people who choose personal needs over humanity.

@@theempireofjudah9315 🤯

@@theempireofjudah9315 But killing Ellie for the cure to save humanity is not 100% guaranteed. Also, most of the remaining humans are adapting well enough to the Cordyceps threat and likely will not become extinct anytime soon. So it is more like sacrificing a child to have the possibility to save some humans along with the possibility of killing even more humans if the cure fails disastrously. Also the world is never in danger from the Cordyceps. On the contrary, the Cordyceps likely have saved the nature world from human overpopulation and pollution. Plus there must be infinite other ways of creating a cure that does not involve killing people that they have not thought of or tried yet. They should do more research and try to make a cure from animals or plants that are immune or resistant to the Cordyceps, or conduct more research and make chemical medicines that are lethal to the Cordyceps but not humans.

@@theempireofjudah9315 To be fair, not even God himself would let his kid die, his son was literally brought back from the death because he could. That´s just a painful weekend for God.

honestly, i'm suprised and disgusted that so many people have this view. joel is clearly a bad person. he murders unarmed people and people who've surrendered. he LIED to ellie and didn't tell her the truth. didn't respect her enough to let her make her own decisions because of his own past trauma. not to mention THAT COULD SAVE THE WORLD. stop being so damn selfish :/.

I don't think there was any doubt.

Dina and Ellies farm! It absolutely looked like it. It was almost a spot on floor plan until I saw the stairs. I'm so glad someone else noticed this

I thought it looked the same except for the kitchen

First thing i thought. I believe it just might end up being the same one.

People either hate or love the second game, wonder what you're gonna think

Would've been cool to give tge player an option....

​@@TheRealBatCave in the game if you didn't kill the doctor, fireflies came and killed you.

@@alphus195 u know what im saying, like a legit decision left or right, it would just be cool some games do this

@@TheRealBatCave I mean, the option is to turn the console off. The last of us isn’t that kind of game series, the creators have a narrative they want to tell and we’re just along for the ride. It’s fine if you don’t like that or you just don’t like the results of the story, but there are always other options out there

@@Eveliane lol i never said any of what ur saying, i like how it ended i would have chose the same thing Joel did, im simply saying everyone big question is what would you do save humanity or save you the child, it was just a thought, an idea if the developers put that in there as thats what everyone seems 2 focus on. Turning off the console? Lol, tf outta here

Dude come on

Ellie's mother wouldn't have allowed her friend to do this to her daughter and Joel was the only responsible person there making a decision for Ellie's life while she was lied to by the people that she was brought to, not giving Ellie a choice and one that she may not understand due to the current circumstances or how she has lived her young life. Joel going on a rampage was great! Loved it and the calming music while he took all of them out with no mercy. No one but Joel had Ellie's best interest in mind not even the best friend of her mother that again would never let this happen.

@@jessetoland The music at the start of the episode sounded like something from the Terminator movies and Joel became as deadly as a Terminator toward the end. I think Marlene was lying to Joel about needing to kill Ellie. The reasoning didn't seem to add up. If Ellie had "a chemical messenger that makes normal cordyceps think she is cordyceps," then why do they still attack her in the TV show? Why didn't the dog at Jackson Hole smell it? She's immune from the infection, not their attacks. Couldn't they start with blood samples first instead of just hurrying to kill her? I think something else is going on. It makes me wonder if the cordyceps might have mutated an intelligent variant capable of hiding itself in and controlling some humans while looking for threats like immune people. Maybe when Marlene lost half her people getting there the rest were infected with it? This wouldn't be the first time a TV show diverged wildly from its source material.

“Ah, don’t tell me you’ve now become fond of the boy now , Severus?” Probably one of the greatest passages in any book

Thank you Gerry!

I was wondering if one of the nurses was supposed to be Abby. I'm not sure. I would think Abby would have at least yelled out "Dad" when Joel shot him. Maybe it was just a small cameo. But we'll see.

Worst finale ever! The explanation of immunity is so boring. What is Ellie's mom was immune too and just passed the immunity on to her? We'll never fucking know because the show executed the mom and fed us this garbage origin story. I am going to save myself the trouble and not watch season 2 because obviously, this show will never get better.

@@minafrota6124 what?? Ellie’s mom was bitten while giving birth and that’s why Ellie is immune. She already has cordyceps living inside of her, so “normal” cordyceps doesn’t affect her. They literally explained that in the show, pretty clearly

​@@marleycymon3512 they're just a troll. Either that or beyond hope of any explanation lol

@@marleycymon3512 From the bitting to Ellie's birth it took seconds. I don't think Ellie is immune because of that. From that scene I understood she just is.

I think it's not only about a child,you would not sacrifice any of your loved ones neither parents nor siblings...

You’re certainly right about the that’s probably not how it’s gonna play out part ;)

LMAO I CANT WAIT

Imagine what a pile of dogshit this show would have been if it had been made by Netflix lol

@@IloveGorgeousGeorge lol no sh&t.

@@minafrota6124 stop spamming

Spoilers for Part II 13:51 Abby’s father

​@@TheDestroyerX I like that they put that in there as a setup :)

I agree. Marlene told Joel the truth at the end. Ellie wanted her life to mean something and finish the mission. Joel didn't do that because of his selfishness. He wanted another daughter in Ellie. Ellie didn't want to make the journey meaningless but that's exactly what happened.

yea and you can tell ellie doesn't really seem to believe joel as she looks kind of unnerving at the end and seems like a way they are going to maybe break apart and possibly bring back their relationship in season 2

As someone who played the games, this is an amazing conversation

Save humanity ? Or live long enough to endure POST APOCALYPTIC TEENAGE REBELLION!! The choice was Joel’s… (Frankly I’d take the zombies…)

@@robertoarmstrong7317 I have a 15 y/o and I think the zombies are so much easier 😂

is this the first TV show you've ever seen?

You won’t have a season 2 for almost 2 years and Bella is already 19.

Bella Ramsey is 19 now so your comment is not true.

The only thing I wanted was for them to deepen their relationship and the time they spent together before what happens to poor Joel in next seson 🙄. I liked it but it could have been better, they could have given more time for the scenes and events and even provided stories or plots not seen in the original game.

I knew when I heard the grunting cause I was shot a lot in the second game

I mean, it is probably doable IF this was in the modern day with all pre-infection amendities readily available they barely have the things needed to do the job of removing it, and in the show they're even worried about the power going out mid-surgery. Couple this with the show's timeline starting things off in 2003, and there's even less of a chance that the technology and know-how is there (although I have not personally skimmed through 2003 equipment and surgery stuff so idk)

Maybe they could of extracted her eggs to breed more immune humans.

In the game, the tendrils are attached to her brain. They can’t remove it without killing her.

Who do you think would be Abby in season 2

Not at all, its wayyyy to spoiled.. unless Ellie gets clipped, that would really shake things up!!

I don’t think a lot of cans last decades but I’ve seen some stuff in cans with no mold that you can put in ur mouth and not get sick so

@@MeisterFuhrer The only ones that those people in movies and stuff could be eating in a post apoc. world, realisticaly, would be the military rations that are made to last absurd amounts of time indeed

They prob will make up a story for a few seasons cuz if they go straight to part 2, this show will end next year seeing how fast they finished the first game

I like that idea! Let’s see what happens during those 4 years. Let’s see Ellie grow up, go to school, get to know her ‘little cousin’ etc….

Any parent can fight against the entire world for their kids!! So i can understand what Joel did, it was not right! Other wont like it, but he did what he should have done!

This comment section is going to riot. I'm so exited

I think her reaction in both the game and series gives that sense yeah lol But she wants to trust him or doesn't want to believe that Joel is lying so goes along with the blissful ignorance. Inevitably though the questions come back to the surface in the sequel.. :)

one more episode with infected have been nice. The fighting would show Ellie's advancement of toughness and skill, and bonding through fighting enemies.

the infection doesnt spread
