there i a thread discussing the ending already, but the more threads about the last of us the better

here is a question, if people came and told you that they wanted to KILL your daughter to save other people, would you let them do it?

Depends. Will her death save the world? :P lol

If people are willing to kill a kid for their survival; they are not worth saving.  It is as simple as that.

What if it is the kid from the Omen. He was the fucking Antichrist and I would crucify that one in a heart beat. I'm just saying its not as simple as "Whay? You would hurt a kid? EVIIIIILLLLL!!!!"

Sure it depends on the kid, but come on, dude! Who would think about killing Ellie if she is not a bad person at all; and she helps people too.  It is just stupid.   Sure if a kid tries to kill you; and he threathens your survival, and the one of your loved ones; THEN it is a whole different scenario.   

I edited my post in order to give it more context.

To be perfectly honest, I can't say I don't agree with Marlene's actions.

Many of those children with Bombs strapped to their chest in the middle east did not elect to be a weapon in someone else's war. It was something completely out of their control. Very similar to the fact Ellie had no say in being the key to the "cure". Nevertheless, they become the means to a end. They remain an obstacle to a rather dire goal.

It is all very Grey and I don't think you can idealogically fault either side. Both were attempting to do some level of good. Which in turn, I love in this story because one of the biggest issues I have with villainy in most games is that they are evil just because. Any real villain doesn't believe they are so, and through some method they are the good guy in THEIR way of thinking.
