Bella’s acting in this episode was PHENOMENAL… the facial expressions are unreal!
I thought she was amazing 👏🏽 ❤
Y’all deserve so many more subs and views. Great reaction as always y’all!
Ellie's series of NOs near the end kill me every time..
Ya honestly her anger/crying acting for me is perfect
Just one observation regarding your perception of Bella’s performance: Keep in mind that Ellie is a different person at this point in her life. We have never before seen her prior to her world turning upside down. I think she’s naturally going to have a level of naïveté that gets burned out of her over the next few months/years.
Sometimes less is more. I prefer less talk in reaction videos, but more to the point, instead of endless talk, where I get the impression that people only talk to say something. And I doubt that people get much of conversation from the episode. So I thought this video was great.
I have to disagree on one point. I think being gay is not an issue at all in this series. I think the issue has been settled here for 20 years. People simply have better things to do than take interest of the love lives of others. For example surviving. It simply falls under the overall theme of love. The fact that the two confess their love to each other only now has nothing to do with being gay. It is rather the fear of losing a friendship if the other person does not feel that way. Which is everyone's fear. The two here have nothing to lose now, because they would go their separate ways and the only thing that could prevent that would be to say what they feel.
I found Bella's acting to be consistently great, as was Riley's actor.
Mileena's finisher was already a topic in episode 3 when Ellie and Joel found the non-working MK machine. Then she told Joel that she once had a friend who knew everything about it and she described to him how Mileena sucks up and spits out her opponent.
If you pay attention, the episode shows you how the story with Ellie and Riley ends. They don't have to show that explicitly.
Riley played Mileena in MK2 and Ellie played Baraka (last game).
Baraka skewered Mileena with his blades as finisher. That was the metaphorical endgame. That's how Ellie killed Runner-Riley.
That's why Ellie asked Joel in episode 2 what it was like for him to kill an infected, knowing that they once were human. I think she needed a comparison to her own feelings because she couldn't classify them. That's why she tortured and stabbed the stalker with her knife in episode 3. She first wanted to see if he felt something and then the anger broke through and she killed him because an infected bit Riley.
Ellie kills Riley and because Riley didn't get in touch with Marlene the next day, she showed up at the mall and took Ellie with her.
At least that's what I think. There are hardly any other options.
The escalator can also be seen metaphorically. No matter how much Ellie runs against it (sometimes everything stays the same, sometimes there are highs), it still goes further and further downhill for her.
Last episode Ellie wanted a sip of whiskey from Joel and said "STILL gross". Here we see Ellie's first time.
Also, we've learned that Ellie's first impulse is to leave when she feels pushed away or is pushed away or is disappointed in any way, but she keeps coming back. This is one parallel between Joel and Riley. Another parallel is, both are Ellie's protectors. And don't forget Ellie's greatest fear of ending up alone. In the end, she will try everything possible to save Joel, which she was not able to do with Riley.
Ellie has lost Riley and Sam to the fungus. She is the cure. She wants her survival to have value.
Here it is shown no matter Fedra or Fireflys, for both you are just a number. They tell you what you want to hear and what benefits them, to achieve the respective goals. The officer at the beginning may be really nice, but he's definitely manipulative. There are always only 2 options to choose from and both are manipulated into thinking there are not more. There is only one clearly good or one clearly bad choice. Leaving Fedra obviously does not exist as an option. But orphans are easy to manipulate, as you can see from Ellie, who simply repeats what the officer told her in the conversation with Riley. The Fireflys are no different. Everyone comes in quickly, they made you feel you belong to a family and you are important to them. In fact, Riley is parked alone in the mall with bombs. These also kill civilians, as we saw in Episode 1 on Tess when one of these bombs exploded, killing two teenagers. Lives that are stuck. Eat or die.
The series in general is all about the number 2.
Bill and Frank, Ellie and Joel, Ellie and Riley, Sam and Henry, Joel and Tommy, Kathleen and Daniel, two choices, Mortal Kombat 2, joke book volume 2, red or green. T(w)ogethernes
I actually thought Ashley Johnson (OG Ellie) would have her cameo here. Obviously, this was not the case, but it comes later in another memory. Most likely in the season finale.
Next episode Troy Baker (OG Joel) will get his cameo.
Wow thank you so much for the comment. I appreciate the insight to the show you provided
Craig and Neil mentioned in the podcast that being gay is a factor in Ellie and Riley's hesitance and that their sexuaIities are confusing and scary for them because of how gay people are still viewed in what's left of society. The world ended in 2003 and society's beliefs didn't progress much past that. It would be nice if people stopped caring about these things in the apocalypse, but I don't really think that's realistic, people always find a way to discriminate
@@miroh8 Then they implemented it badly in the series, because absolutely nothing indicates that anyone is still interested.
@@TomTomson81 Honestly it's just something I assumed to be true and I didn't feel like it needed to be pointed out, maybe that's just because I'm gay. I do agree they could've done a better job portraying society's beliefs and that extra layer to Ellie and Riley's fear of rejection. Maybe they'll expand upon that in season 2 like they sort of did in the 2nd game.
@@miroh8 Frankly, I found it no disadvantage at all that this was not an issue. I really liked the idea that people in the apocalypse focus on other things than the sexuality of others. Would have been something positive.
Bella was phenomenal with her acting in this series. I not understanding your dissatisfaction ❤ But, I really enjoy your channel. 🎉
Oh I agree! Bella was amazing and perfect casting for Ellie. I just thought her acting in that specific scene wasn't great. Don't get me wrong!
Great reaction guys :)
Next weeks episode is going to damage my soul 💔
I love ur channel!
What a great episode man
Hugs, you guys.
Great reaction! This was my least favorite episode of a perfect season. Every episode is a 9-10 out of 10 and this gets a 8. Not at the fault of the show though as the DLC wasn’t my favorite and it followed it almost perfectly. I wish they gave us the dramatic ending here though the DLC also never gave us.
