congratulations to ineffable bureaucracy for being the first queer couple ever to plan to run away together and ACTUALLY succeeding at it!

THE LAST OF US MORAL QUESTION!

People that think Joel was wrong, or that Marleen was right/Ellie would have wanted to sacrifice herself = 🚩🚩🚩

HERES WHY:

1. Let’s tackle the issue of Ellie’s agency(a theme that we’ve seen in episode 8 as well). She is a passively suicidal child. Everyone who she’s ever cared about has died. Riley. Tess. Sam. Henry. She’s desperate to make her life worth something. And she’s given a “purpose” when she realizes she’s immune. But she’s FOURTEEN!! doesn’t matter if it’s the apocalypse, a child is simply not capable of making the choice to sacrifice herself!! So even if Marleen asked (which it’s implied she didn’t) and Ellie said yes, that’s irrelevant because again she’s a fucking kid.

2. In the same vain of her being desperate and her agency, SHE DIDN’T KNOW SHE WAS GONNA HAVE TO DIE?!!! With Sam and Henry she put her blood in his bite!!! she thought it was that simple BECAUSE SHES A KID!!! So she doesn’t even know what this all means truly.

3. Marleen being so quick to sacrifice Ellie that she’s known since she was born, for a vax that MAY NOT EVEN WORK?! Is literally insane, while Joel who has known her for what…a year? Is willing to murder a dozen plus people to save her life!!! Marleen didn’t give a shit!! About Ellie, and in my opinion doesn’t even care about a cure. She just wants FEDRA gone and to go back to “normal”!

4. Okay let’s say the vax worked? (Which I have many thoughts but fine) they kill Ellie. Make a vax. THEY ARE VIEWED AS TERRORIST!!!! They would never be able to actually help people and distribute it to QZ’s. FEDRA has been in power for two decades. They like how things are going. They like being ducking nazis! Do you really think…they’d just release a cure?? And why haven’t they been working on a vaccine?? Like??? It would just be used as a political tool and it would be a mess so she would die for nothing!!!!

5. More importantly….and on a human level. Ellie saved Joel more than once’s and in more ways than just physical. Joel admits it! That is his daughter now! If you wake up after being ambushed and find out your loved one is about to be murdered for a cure that may (or may not) work? What would you do?! ESPECIALLY WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE? like let’s not pretend you’d let these random people kill the light of your life, and you’d just walk way??? No.

Joel couldn’t save Sarah, but he could save Ellie so he did! ARGUE WITH YOUR MOTHER!

Ps. Joel is also justified in killing Marlene because he was right. She would have just come after ellie. Like she’s just be a target! But he shouldn’t have lied to ellie about it. I understand why he did though.

Quite possibly THE funniest way to frame a former president being deemed a criminal in court

the way joel says “what’s wrong with you” is so fucking funny to me like he’s so embarrassed his feral child is making a bad first impression on tommy that he’s like i raised you better than this!! but we all know he didn’t and she’s actually just like him
