The Last Of Us 2 Finale Shows Revenge Isn't Always The Answer For Ellie
Last Updated:
Without revealing too much, let's look at what fans on X have to say about The Last of Us season 2's powerful finale and a quick recap.
The first season of The Last of Us felt like a journey about a special hero on a mission to save the world by making a big sacrifice. But in the final episode, Joel changed everything and surprised everyone by changing the story that no one expected. Now, Season 2 began with new questions about where the show is going. The finale answered some of these questions, which was exciting and a bit confusing. One clear part of the episode is Ellie's story, where she learns that revenge is complicated and doesn't always bring peace. Without revealing too much, let's look at what fans on X (formerly Twitter) had to say about this powerful finale and a quick recap.
Ellie tells Dina the truth about Joel killing the Fireflies to save her, which leaves Dina disturbed and wanting to go home. Ellie and Jesse go looking for Tommy, but they argue after Jesse calls her selfish. Jesse also reveals Dina is pregnant and shares a past love story. Ellie learns Abby is likely at the aquarium. Jesse disagrees with Ellie's revenge plan but goes after Tommy, while Ellie heads to the aquarium. After a big wave, Ellie lands on Seraphite land, escapes during an attack, and kills Owen and Mel. The ending leaves her with guilt, unanswered questions and a painful reminder that no one truly wins.
Reacting to the epic finale of The Last of Us season 2, a user wrote, 'I thought 49 minutes was gonna be rushed, but it was actually perfect. Has some of the most epic scenes I've seen on TV. I'm not sure how to feel about Ellie being portrayed as way more sensitive than in the game. Perfect ending."
Another shared, 'Gonna speak my truth and say Tommy/Gabriel Luna was my favourite part of the finale, The Last Of Us."

'Bella Ramsey as Ellie does such a great job of being the heart of this show. Seeing the connection with Dina and Jesse was so good. Also, her journey in revenge was shot so well. All leading to the Abby finale and cliffhanger was crazy, man. S3 has to hurry," a comment read.

One more added, 'The finale should've cut when Abby shoots Ellie. If they wanted to go for a cliffhanger ending, they could've just cut to black there and there was no need to show WLF base. The Last Of Us."
