The Last of Us Part II 🥹🥲 #1

It surprised me how people reacted to the second game. In my eyes it's perfect.

Ellie lost control over her life when she didn't turn. She chose not to kill herself right on the spot and from that moment everything spireled.

She was given hope by Fireflies to regain that control. But Fireflies nor Joel gave her a choice. Both sides decided for her. Joel making the ultimate choice.

Then she finds out and it is on her, how she Is going to handle it. She briefly regains control and tells Joel that she might choose in the future to forgive him.

But before she can, Joel is killed. He hurt a lot of people and someone was bound to bring him some of his own medicine.

So she loses control again and she goes out to take it back. She finds Abby but gets her ass kicked. So she has to go and find her again.

And then she overpowers Abby. She could kill her. But it's her choice to let her go. Nobody makes it for her - not her immunity, Fireflies, Joel or Anny.

She regains control over her life.

Not just that tho. She also finally understands, what Joel did and forgives him. By lumping scars & rattlers & Fireflies into one group of bad guys, we can finally see she understands how empty the promise of a vaccine was.

Even if they made a cure. And that's a big if. Nothing would change. It would just be another nice thing to kill each other over. One day probably losing the cure in a raid.

Choice is a big theme of the game. People still arguing whether Joel was justified in killing the Fireflies & being upset over letting Abby go...
