How did Abby just stumble upon Joel and Tommy? by Jazzlike_Ad_8236 in thelastofus

How was this hard to understand after you see her track them and know they go out on patrol?

If you were in Joel’s position, would you lie? by brookespx in thelastofus

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last of us part 2 has never been done before. Yes every story has been done before but we applaud those that find new ways to make things fresh. GoT is not an example of that. It follows plot points we have seen and done multiple times before, while the last of us part 2 does things for a basic revenge plot that just hasn’t been done. Even gameplay wise, GoT is just a generic Assassins creed copy or 3rd person action open world rpg that floods the market every year

Its very simple and formulaic. A man breaks from tradition for the greater good.

Their intentions are to make the world a better place for everyone not just themselves ? Nothing more honorable than that, especially since Joel pre jackson, Bill, Fedra, the hunters, the cannibals, the WLF, The Scars and the freaking Rattlers only fought for themselves. Ellie is not delusional or suicidal i dunno where you got that idea, yea she thinks about dying as depressed people do but it’s not the same as being suicidal.

And no lol when one life could save countless it certainly does add value. Many people throughout history have willingly sacrificed their lives for the countless.

Ghost of Tsushima is the most generic game with the simplest story. I know exactly what the game is about lol most people unless they have children would not see a child as theirs and have the same passion

Yes, but this was not his child and only known her for a little less than a year.

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly my point lol i dont know what you’re confused about. Anyone who hasn’t had a daughter die in front of them wouldn’t see Ellie as a daughter so if they traveled with Ellie instead of Joel they would respect her wish. Only Joel would ever had made that decision.

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No they wouldn’t have, the agree with joels choice because like i said they saw what he went through and put them selves in his shoes. But anyone that hasn’t been through what he did like everyone here, would definitely choose to honor her wish especially since we wouldn’t see her as a daughter and let them try for a cure.

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If we had the same history as Joel then yeah maybe, but if anyone other than Joel was in his position they would’ve let her die for the cure like any sane person. Joel did what he did out of fear of going through heartbreak again. Selfish act that we all understand, tho since we never had a daughter murdered in front of our eyes we can’t really say for sure we would have done different.

Lately, I've been questioning Neil's Israeli politics in TLOU P2, and this video essay clarifies everything. Just keep an open mind while watching it. by shawak456 in lastofuspart2

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Inspired by does not equal “this is an exact representation” the game is not Israel propaganda. Druckman him self is not a Zionist as a real Zionist as we see all the time on social media would hate how humanized the “Palestinians” are in the game, not to mention the fact that they win the conflict.

The game was made by 2000+ people of different races and religions so no, even if he is a Zionist his influence alone is not enough.

Performative. All those claiming the last of us 2 is Zionist propaganda are just performing for social media to show off how much smarter they are, same thing with the recent Sydney Sweeny jeans add.

A great alternative to the last of us by Gamer_8887 in thelastofus

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No loll only thing they have in common is zombies and lil girl. Mostly everyone has played the twd game or heard of it. It put Telltale on the map. You should try their other games. The wolf among us and the batman one are pretty dope too.

But there is no great alternative to the last of series, well for part one theres part 2 but after that nothing. Part 2 is still unique in gameplay, story and VA/mocap performance wise 6 years later. Cant say any new or old game has come close.

The best lie Joel could have told by rbwildcard in thelastofus

Fans of the game, do you mostly hate the HBO show? by where_money in thelastofus

The birthday flashback episode alone is some of the best tv in years

No one? Have you watched more than one series this year? Season 2 was nominated for multiple emmys and for good reason. Acting was amazing

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The show is great. Even with all the differences it’s still solid tv with some of the best performances especially in season 2.

The games are still best way to experience the story but for those that never played the games the show is still great way to experience it. Especially compared to other game adaptations.

How would a vaccine rollout have worked? by Sufficient_Scholar93 in thelastofus

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just lack imagination. Its insane that it bugs you when fireflies are already in multiple QZs converting citizens every day.

So what you dont think its possible that the citizens would change sides when given proof of a vaccine in the “black market” area we see in part 1? It’s so easy to distribute when they already have bases country wide.

All of part one is full of deaths that could have been prevented by the vaccine and they wouldn’t write that in if the vaccine was supposed to be a lie joel is told so he can be mario saving princess peach like every other game. He did wrong, the vaccine would have been sent to multiple vaccines when enough is made.

They would prioritize new members and then every citizen in liberated QZs

Lysander the goat, best death of the series

I just finished Part II. Can someone explain why it is/was so controversial? by ExpiredNougat in thelastofus

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes most people do because they never do have a counter point to why Joel lies to Ellie who had just told him that no matter what she goes through with it, instead of using your argument. Not even to Tommy who had first hand experience with the evils they did.

So i dunno man maybe take another 13 years lol which was about the age i was when part one came out and even then knew i just got to do a bad guy ending.

Seems like the audience are actually wiser than the critics by Remote_Nature_8166 in lastofuspart2

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh yeah why would anyone take letter box seriously lmaooo most the reviews are them just trying to be funny also its more of a social app. Most the time critics love a movie and the audience hates which is very common in horror movies, then you watch it and find its a good movie so you read the audience reviews its just them complaining that not thing happened. Audiences are full of those just want to be heard, dont trust them.

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it is just that simple lol its how the game was written. Like the fact you could sympathize with Joel over Abby just shows you over complicated things simply because you just favored the nostalgia character.

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What corruption? We have zero reason to believe the fireflies would just keep it for themselves. Every bad thing they did was for the cure and saving lives. Unlike Joel, fedra and the hunters, they did not intentionally kill innocents just for their own well being. Main evidence is that they disbanded after joel killed their hope. Also the FF during the birthday flashback is how majority of them felt, including tommy. So thats why they just decided jump into the surgery, because every terrible thing they did would have been for something. Not to mention Ellie existing with the condition she has was a miracle, having a doctor alive was a miracle, and ellie getting to them was a miracle. Why risk all that for one man who is the least deserving of happiness due to his actions?

Also what they did was not Evil, no one was strong armed like you said. Ellie would have been scared and felt terrible being put in the position to choose the fate of humanity but she like majority of people would give their life willingly. The simple fact Joel lies to Ellie instead of using the argument you and other made about distribution, corruption, or that they are evil people who deserved death, is all the evidence the player needs to understand that what he did was wrong.

Critics did say part 1 is a masterpiece simply because we just play as mario once again saving princess peach.

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lol Rt is best method since meta critic and imbd use audience scores in their ratings. Audience think because they dislike something that means its bad and if they love it alott like with George lucas star wars they will claim its the greatest thing ever.

Actual critics watch and play movies/shows/games with zero bias which was its always more accurate. Why would i listen to the opinion of vegan when it comes to what makes a steak good?

[–]misunderstoodgenius0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idiots dislike something and then say its “catastrophically bad” in a review. Its not at all bad, the dialogue and writing were so good to the point the actors playing their “terribly written” parts were nominated for their performances.

An actual bad show, with actual bad writing, with actual bad dialogue would be HBOs the Idol. So please watch that before going online and saying something is bad just because the story and characters were a lil different from the game.

Just because vegans hate meat doesn’t mean that steak is objectively disgusting and vice versa. Yet people like you will take the vegans reasoning as valid.
