** Well, in "Left Behind" Riley quoted the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie (as in, you know, Ruby Slippers) and electricity exist in the more post-post apocalyptic zones (”Kids will be watching movies Tonight!") so it is not like media and culture was swallowed by a black hole during Outbreak Day.

* When Ellie and Dina find Eugene's porn tapes, Dina pronounces the title of ''Smash Brandi's Cootch'' with the same syllable emphasis as the name of what it's parodying, ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot''. However, since Dina is roughly the same age as Ellie and thus was born well after the outbreak, it's unlikely she would have heard of the game to begin with, and therefore wouldn't have pronounced the title how she did.

Not sure how the map thing is Fridge Logic. Adding a different example.


* Ellie attempts to mimic Joel's style of interrogation. Her inexperience shines through when she leaves people standing or otherwise not restrained while trying to get information out of the other. This allows her captives to fight back whereas Joel's would be more willing to co-operate

* Some have noted that the people in the cult look incredibly similar to each other. Now you can chalk it up to Naughty Dog using the same skins to save time when creating characters, but remember these people are in a cult. Of course they're going to look the same.

** It could also be referring to how the cult will play a role in this game. Seeing as how they cult refer to Ellie as a wolf, and they probably see themselves as the shepherds saving the "sheep" or call themselves "saviors of the human race".

* Even worse is how the last game ended. Ellie believes that there are others immune to the cordyceps infection like her. It could be possible that during the TimeSkip or later in the game she learns the truth and how Joel basically lied to her about the Fireflies. If they're the focus of Ellie's RoaringRampageofRevenge, it could pretty much mean that it's AllForNothing!

* Pretty much the only reason the first game did not have a DownerEnding (just a very bitter BitterSweetEnding) was that, basically, Ellie lived and showed herself to be a decent person in spite of everything. The second game's teaser - '''just the teaser!!''' - shoots that all to hell by revealing Ellie has become just as cold, bitter, angry, unstable and violent as Joel regretted becoming. Retroactively, the first game is now Ellie's StartOfDarkness!

This sounds more like WMG than Fridge Horror though, since we have no idea if that actually happens.


* With the developers noting the the theme of ''The Last Of Us Part II'' will be hate, it is possible Ellie will find out about Marlene's death and Joel's role in killing her--and considering Ellie's antagonistic attitude towards Joel in the last game it is quite possible that she might kill Joel himself.

* One of the first shots of the trailer shows a tree with deep claw marks in it. Given how none of the first game's infected had claws this indicates that we'll likely have new types of infected able to leave a mark like that. Or it could even be an infected ''animal''.

** From Ellie's behavior it is likely that in storming the community they killed many of its residents and considering the ending where Joel and Ellie decide to live at Tommys community does that mean that Tommy and possibly his wife Maria were killed in the attack.
