What if Ellie’s immunity is somehow explained through something that happens to her mother while she’s pregnant? I’m more and more convinced that the second trailer is a flashback to when she’s pregnant and Emily wants to cut the child out of her either because of what they believe in as a religious group or because of something that’s already happened to Anna.
I wouldn’t be against it, I’M JUST THINKIN’
ME TOO. THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING. PLUS. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS NEAR WHERE JOEL AND ELLIE ARE BECAUSE THAT WAS A BURNED CAR IN THE FIRST TRAILER AND A BURNING CAR IN THE SECOND. THINK ABOUT IT. GOOD NIGHT.
My theory is challenged.
There’s another guy gutted that’s hanged here and he don’t look the pregnant type to me. The woman still could be Anna and she still could be pregnant and this still could be a flashback but now I’m not so sure that about what Emily’s doing here. Maybe there’s a different type of the infection where you can carry it without getting sick and perhaps that’s what grants Ellie her immunity in her mum’s womb?
I know we’re not given all the information and all the context so it’s almost useless to theorise but it’s fun so lemme 😀
Regarding the burnt out car if you’re referring to this one
It’s probably not the same one because the one in the second trailer’s missing a back door and it’s generally way more burnt out already.
Plus there’s some stuff about this scenery that doesn’t match
Like how that pillar in the back looks like it’s supporting a bridge or there’s another concrete structure behind probably!Anna on the ground that’s just not in the first one. It could still be in the same area though because the trees seem to match so I’m not against your theory at all. My only problem is that why would this location still be relevant for the Fireflies or their remnants over twenty-five years later (providing the people Ellie has slaughtered are related to the same group we see here) when we all know they’re all fucking stupid and couldn’t survive in one place for more than a few weeks.
(For real this video but especially this part is fucking fantastic and changed the way I look at the ending of the first game. Everybody go watch Joseph Anderson’s stuff, he’s amazing.)
how is literally every sentence in this more amazing than the last
I am literally breathless with what-the-fuck.
I still don’t know what “incel” means but I don’t think I want to know at this point.
“Incel” means “involuntarily celibate.” It’s a bunch of guys who hate women and then blame women for the fact that they can’t get a date. As opposed to, ya know, the fact that they’re fucking creeps.
“likely a virgin by not of her smallness and shyness”
Uh….
Good news people, when you have sex for the first time, you get taller! That’s how that works. All short people are virgins. When a short person has sex for the first time, they grow to above average height overnight.
These guys, wtf?
A common story with these dudes is how they were rejected by girls at school, possibly before they started getting rejected for being predatory creeps. I don’t understand why they can’t handle rejection. I mean do they think girls never suffer rejection? Like I got laughed at by my crush when I was 12 and I never admitted having feelings because I knew he would reject me. Boys in general had no interest in me, laughed at my looks. And I don’t go around dropping doors in men’s faces and hunting down waiters being both predatory and racist.
I can sympathise with the pain and loneliness. But I don’t understand the long lasting and generalised anger and hatred.

Railroad Tracks
The U.S. Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches.
That’s an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the U.S. Railroads.
Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used.
Why did ‘they’ use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular Odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that’s the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So, who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear
of destroying their wagon wheels.
Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.
Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.
In other words, bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a specification, procedure, or process, and wonder, ‘What horse’s ass came up with this?’,
you may be exactly right.
Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses.
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, you will notice that there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs.
The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah.
The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit larger,
but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.
The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains
and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel.
The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know,
is about as wide as two horses’ behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature
of what is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse’s ass.
And you thought being a horse’s ass wasn’t important!
Now you know, Horses’ Asses control almost everything.
Explains a whole lot of stuff, doesn’t it?
This is the single most mind blowing fact I’ve read on tumblr, every day is a school day-thank you.
Nice history lesson!
My daughter and I were just discussing this very subject.
