Erik here! Thank you all for the kind words. This breakdown was obviously pretty tough for me to get through at the end there. For one, it was an emotional gut-punch of an ending that left me heartbroken for the resolve Ellie must force herself to feel. Also, to be candid with you all, I've just been emotionally spent working to get our new channel launched, feeling a similar kind of fear that all my toiling and sleepless nights could be for nothing. I'm just in a raw place this week.
Meanwhile, for those of you who are getting triggered by the idea that January 6 was, in fact, a violent day in which armed rioters set up gallows with a noose for our Vice President, I'm truly sorry that you can't handle it when someone compares art to history that you like to pretend didn't happen. If you have to check out to avoid hearing about a reality that you disagree with, just remember that the reality will still be there.
"That's it, I'm unsubscribing, bye," say the ones who sat through me comparing Kathleen to the Bush Administration during the War on Terror last week, yet clutch their pearls when they hear January 6th was bad. You guys are hilarious.
Really jan 6th if it wasn;t stopped…….
Can someone please tell me how can i search in between these videos!?only in this channel!
Super analysis of the episode. Just try to ignore the negative comments. I lost me brother in-law last monday. So the episode hit me hard. Hope you are getting better soon brother. Endure and survive!😢
Is it only me who thought when all the infected came out the ground was round 50 on tranzit
It is both good and appropriate for humans (et al.) to feel things.
This shit had nothing to do with Jan 6 lmao. You know that
One detail you missed is before the truck crashes you can see on the side of the house is cordeceps just like the one before the museum in episode 2 except this one isn’t dead
The ending was so heart wrenching. I watched the gameplay so I knew what was gonna happen but I didn’t feel anything when it did happen in the game except oh too bad but my heart hurt after finishing this episode. They all did such a fantastic job.
The underground episode in the game was sad and they should had focused more on that
January 6th if not stopped….?! Cmon now
Question for people who have played the game:
I've never played Last of Us, and I know I'm going to in the future, so the question is…
Should I stop watching the series and go play the game first? Or should I finish watching and THEN play the game?
This episode it great but how did they not hear those giant trucks coming a mile away in a abandoned area ???
BRUH XD Collaboration means "working with someone to produce something" AND "traitorous cooperation with an enemy". Like France collaborated with Germany during WWII ! Please tell me you know that XD
I’m sorry to inform you they will split the first game in 2 seasons… U didn’t hear it from me
i didnt like the way bloater was potrayed. it jst look like a wwe fight instead of infected to do infection to others
Really??? You try to relate the overthrow of the government here with Jan 6. Jan 6 wasn’t a real attempt at insurrection stop believing everything you see on CNN
Another fun fact about the perry death scene is just as his about to become decapitated you can hear a high pitched note similar to the one you hear during death scenes in the games
This episode was a punch in the gut. I don't know where we go from here.
when Henri is looking out the window at Joel you can see an orange reflection just like Sam's mask to imply that Henri is Sam's real hero
That one hit you hard and I commend you & your insights <3
I think it’s a little more like the blm protests than the Jan 6th event . I mean they legit took over a city 😂 compared to like going in a building
I've never played the game and I rarely cry at TV/Movie. This episode made me sob in my wife's arms. Even this recap made me cry
Damn the way he started crying but continued to explain the episode. Respect.
Joel confesses he ate Ellie
immediately stopped watching after his little january 6th joke
Its easy for us to be convinced by the trick of storytelling of the immorality of the resistance in a few days which we have seen, when they have been, quote, "raped, tortured, and murdered people for twenty years" by FEDRA off-camera.
This is how writers create heroes and villains, even in the most "grey" stories. There are no protagonists or antagonists in reality.
You can actually tell Sam’s revolver is unloaded at the end of episode 4 when he’s pointing it at Joel
Every episode of TLOU has been outstanding, but this was the best, in my opinion. The acting was incredible. The series is amazing. Always so grateful to have your fantastic and insightful post-watch analyses to look forward to. Thank you !
B-real January 6th was not an insurrection. Funny
interesting point about the "soul". People w/dementia like alzheimer slowly fade and its hard to work w/your own family at end stages. You earn for the "real person" you know is inside them to come out.
What a great video. You are good at catching so many nuances. Amazing work sir.
Was waiting for the sniper to yell out "I SEE YOU!!!"
I don't think they're morally lost, they are giving what they took for years. And they're doing exactly what you would need to do to maintain authority in the space of an overthrown government.
I'm so happy you're covering this series!!!!!
Love you EV, last minute of the video really hit.
