I think the only person who could persuade Joel to give Ellie's life is Ellie herself. If Marlene let them have a proper goodbye I'm sure Ellie would bravely give her life and maybe Joel doesn't go on a murderous rampage.
The ending reminds me of a very valid point: Neither Joel nor the Fireflies gave Ellie a choice. The Fireflies were gonna operate on her without telling her she would die. And Joel lied to her after he saved her. Ellie was definitely determined to see the whole thing through. She was more than willing to help humanity find a cure. If the Fireflies had actually talked to her, she would have likely accepted it. Joel wasn't in the wrong for saving Ellie's life. The Fireflies weren't in the wrong for trying to find a cure. But if they had listened to her instead of choosing for her, the whole thing could have gone in a different direction.
Can’t wait to see the non gamers reactions to this final episode. It’s always been one of my favorite endings.
That was cool seeing the voice of Ellie play the mother of Ellie in the show.
I personally believe everyone failed Ellie in one way or another. In the podcast, Craig Mason and Ashley Johnson talk about why Anna said “find someone to take care of her” and it basically boils down to the fact that Anna never really stroke Marlene as a caregiver. Marlene is the leader of the Fireflies, a revolutionary moment, or terrorist organization, depending on how you look at it. Marlene didn’t uphold her promise to her best friend Anna, but instead abandon Ellie in a FEDRA orphanage to stay as far away from the Fireflies. Marlene recruited a young teen girl, Riley and put her in the frontlines. Where Riley happened to be with Ellie and get infected. Marlene wants to win this war between FEDRA more then anything and would rather put her responsibilities to her best friend to the side. She failed to keep Ellie safe, and she broke her promise to Anna to create a cure that wasn’t even sure would work. Desperation is her main motivation when it comes to her decision in the final episode. Desperation made her careless and empathetic to putting both Joel and Ellie on a unwindable position. People talk about how Joel took away Ellie’s decision, but so did Marlene. She didn’t let her decide on her own and say her final goodbyes to Joel. In my opinion, Joel reacted like a human being being put in a strange position where he had to now walk away after going through hell to safe this girl and get her to the Fireflies. A parent understands this decision and it isn’t even a debate, I would do the same thing to.
I recognized Ellie's voice actor from her grunts running through the forest, before even seeing her good!
Only Heavy Spoilers would create a video longer than the actual episode. Well done!
Dunno if anyone noticed, but the house Anna went into looked similar to where Ellie and Dina started their family after surviving Seattle…

This episode was so emotional for me. Especially when ellie said "I guess times do heal all wounds" and then Joel said "it wasnt time" and looks at Ellie 😭😭😭
