In The Last of US Part 2, there are some values controversy and the use of ethnicity, sexual orientation, female stereotypes, unrestrained youth life and other elements in the plot to forcibly gain a reputation for diversity. This is not the real shit of In The Last of US Part 2, which really caused what is extremely uncomfortable is that an old-fashioned story routine is rigidly loaded with extremely popular content, which leads to a great internal injury in the story structure and character transformation.
Let's first look at the story of In The Last of US Part 2:
Contradiction 1: The relationship between Ellie and Joel, Joel loves Ellie, but Ellie blames Joel for deceiving, not realizing her value, not fulfilling her sacrifice, and not consulting her opinion, which interfered with her decision. This is indeed the responsibility of In The Last of US Part 2 to solve the remaining problems of the previous work, but the serial only describes this contradiction without solving it. At the end of the game, Ellie still can't understand Joel, and Tommy's original educational role as an insider has not been presented.
Contradiction 2: The hatred of Ellie and Abby. Talk about the growth in hatred. Joel’s death at the beginning was to arouse the anger of the players for revenge and empathize with Ellie. In order to prevent ordinary bridges from making the players repent, the story line from Abby’s perspective was also added to let the players understand Abby’s various experiences. In the end, the players, Ellie, and Abby all grew up in hatred, from being obsessed with hatred that distorted humanity, to letting go of the understanding of hatred. But in the first point, the player has empathized with Ellie, but Ellie does not. Her feelings for Joel have always been very chilling in the plot. The second point is that Joel’s death bridge made by the screenwriter is too extreme. It arranged such a dignified death method for a generation of god of war. The player is indeed out of anger, not only against Abby, but also against the screenwriter. Therefore, the screenwriter goal is achieved, but the main role Joel is also dead. Is it worth it? The third point is that only Abby grew up in the end. Allie is more like giving up because of fatigue. Players and audiences are completely indifferent. Love whoever wins.
Abby’s growth is complete and logically clear. Her volitional revenge caused her friends to die one after another, allowing her to see the evil results of revenge. This reflects the abandonment of the past, the appearance of love, and Yarra’s experience. The redemption, which embodies a new beginning. With such a complete emotional expression and change, in the later stage, players’ anger towards Abby from the beginning will gradually turn into a liking, but Joel’s death will lie between players, especially the Last of US 1 players, and the emotion towards Abby is also not even.
Ellie is completely incomplete, but what the audience sees is just a les who gets tired of father, smoke marijuana. Many Players are still in the values that the Last of US 1 built that "I can abandon the world for the sake of love". Faced with Ellie's response, the handling is not proficient enough, and it is indeed easy to have a bad impression of Ellie. Allie struggled with love and hatred for Joel. After Joel died, she began to take revenge with her anger. From then on, all we saw was an angry, vicious, and contradictory side. Allie did not grow mature in the end.
What players and viewers need to see is that an originally angry Ellie has the painful lesson of losing her partner during the revenge journey, the self-blame and fear after killing the enemy, and the complicated feelings when seeing the enemy's pain. The plot should have been like Ellie chose to let go of the hatred which is not to betray Joel, but to submit to reality. She understood her love for Joel and Joel's choice back then. Then the serial completes the foreshadowing of the begining of The Last of US Part 2 and lets player see the father-daughter reconciliation. But the actual plot is that the players and the audience only see Ellie who is not grateful. After witnessing Joel’s tragic death without dignity, she was let off by Abby for the first time, and after killing a lot of people, she was again by Abby. Defeated and then let go. After being let go, there was no thought or regret. The two confrontations with Abby did not bring any enlightenment to Ellie. Ellie's setoff for Abby for the second time felt very reluctant and the combination was very blunt.
The screenwriter writed too much about Ellie’s PTSD. Joel has slowly become a person who hinders Ellie’s peace of mind, rather than a person who promotes Ellie’s growth and transformation. After more than twenty hours of the process, the screenwriter finally remembered to let Ellie put down her hatred, but the space was obviously not enough, so in the end, after only two seconds of footage of Joel, Ellie suddenly realized. It is not a real feeling of growth for the player, but that Allie is tired (or the screenwriter is tired). Defeating Abby once is an explanation for herself and Tommy and then go home. In contrast, Abby's growth is more likely to cause players to understand. The imbalanced setting of the two heroines repeatedly jumps across the two roles and opposite camps, completely abandoning the sense of substitution of players and audiences.
In the end, Abby could not be forgiven for her act of killing Joel. Also few of us liked Ellie. The Last of Us Part 2 lacks a character that allows players and viewers to put their feelings on. The end makes people feel like a fishbone getting stuck in the throat.
The plot of The Last of US Part 2 did not win anyone's heart.
