It is undeniable that the conclusion of a series or a film, of any story in general, is one of the most important parts. When it’s really bad we can find cases like Game of Thrones, a series that was mortally wounded by a very bad ending that a huge franchise was charged. Well, the good news is that The Last of Us manages to give a very satisfying conclusion to the story of Ellie and JoeI.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are impressive again, and this episode’s plot and pacing shines from the eighth episode, which was somewhat underwhelming. In addition to the above, it should also be noted that this conclusion perfectly sums up what the original work wants to convey. our hero suffers a final transformation and dives into the darkest recesses of her being to save her goddaughter.
The Last of Us ending is brief but powerful
It may seem strange that he describes the conclusion of The last of us as brief, when the episode is more or less of the same duration as the rest. I make this distinction because the chapter begins with a flashback in which we see Ellie’s mother and the circumstances of her birth. This sequence is used for finally justify the immunity of young people and it’s also crucial to understanding what’s going on with the Fireflies. When we return to our protagonists, we see a very important conversation that puts the finishing touches on the father-daughter relationship they’ve built all season.
After all that’s when the end of The Last of Us begins for real. The fireflies trap the protagonists, knock them out, and when Joel wakes up, they inform him that they need their partner’s brain to create a cure. The moment the survivor discovers this, they begin to fight the organization, fights her way to save the only person she cares about in this broken world and full of pain.
Joel is the worst villain in The Last of Us
- I’m sure many of you will think that Joel is a heroa person ready to sacrifice everything for those he loves.
- In reality, could not move further away from the figure of the saviorsince he decides to put his selfish desires ahead of the salvation of all mankind.
- It’s something that The plot and Joel himself repeated the whole series.
- In this conclusion we see how truly wild he can be and how far he can go when attacked by Elijah.
In other words, the chapter presents a very important choice for our protagonist. This decision is his chance to redeem himself, to make sense of all the death and pain he and Ellie have endured. The choice of Joel are worthy of the most infamous villain, as he ends up killing the members of one of the few factions that have sought to heal humanity. Finally, it makes things even worse when lies to Ellie about what happened in the hospital.
A very mature Ellie
- Although in this episode Ellie switches to a more secondary planthe few moments he’s on screen are great.
- After the intense conclusion of the previous chapter, we see a more adult and serious young woman.
- On this occasion, it is Joel who begins to open up and asks for her support when she remembers her late daughter.
- The moment that seemed brilliant to me comes towards the end, when he asks Joel if what he told him is the truth.
This moment shows that Ellie has matured a lot and it’s not easy to cheat on her anymore. Your question is very serious and specific that you don’t think the version of Joel be absolutely true. Right now we see a person who doesn’t blindly believe his mentor like he once did. Instead, ask yourself what happened and although she doesn’t seem entirely satisfied with the answer, she makes the decision to trust Joel for your own good. Ellie has lost so many people in her short life that She doesn’t allow herself to believe that he could betray her, even though she knows it’s very likely..
The Last of Us Chapter 9 is the ending we deserved
From the beginning, The Last of Us has maintained consistent quality across all of its episodes. It’s true that there are some that are better and others that are weaker, but there are none that I found bad. The series finale returns to its roots, recounting a mix between an emotional story of survival and a plot that shows the darkest face of the protagonists when they reach their limit. I think it’s a great way to end the adaptation and I think fans of the game and those who have only watched the series will be delighted.
