The more I watch that trailer and read what Druckmann said, the more I think we're being lead astray. He's said the theme is 'hate' while the last game was 'love'. The first game's theme was far more nuanced than 'love' and I think the only reason he's boiled it down to that is so he can mislead us by suggesting the second game's theme is 'hate', also a rather flat theme. In this trailer we see what appears to be an integral antagonist getting killed. Why would they show us an integral character getting killed in a trailer? Even if she hasn't got a huge role to play, it's bound to spoil some aspects of the narrative.

I'm not buying any of this.

I'm pretty sure he said the theme of the first game was "Hope", not "Love". Anyway you're not the first person I've seen misquote him on that and likely won't be the last.

 

On another note, as far as I know Ellie's mom died when Ellie was a Baby so say like 5 years into the infection breakout. That doesn't seem like enough time for a religious cult to gain any ground. So I'm not buying this scene being taking place before Ellie was even born.

I’m almost positive he said “love”. I remember immediately feeling worried about just how dark TLoU 2 would get, since TLoU was so dark despite having a positive emotion as its overarching theme, and now TLoU 2’s theme will focus on a negative emotion—the strongest of negative emotions, at that.
