I do not think she was expecting to die. There are parts to the game where she talks to Joel about learning how to swim after seeing the Fireflies, and that when the quest is over she will go wherever he wants. So I would not assume that she would gladly give her life for a cure that is not guaranteed, also Marlene promised Ellie's mother that she would take care of her and then she breaks it by trying to kill her. Marlene got what she deserved, and I am glad Ellie got saved and that Joel has something positive in his life to fight for "Ellie". Besides even if the Fireflies find a cure how will they make more and distribute it to whatever is left of the crazy people that kill, and eat each other. The Fireflies could be corrupt for all we know and control people who are in need of a cure/ vaccine.
I honestly thought that Joel was going to end up dieing, I am glad he didnt. I would say that there is going to be a second game where the Fireflies are going to hunt Joel, and Ellie down. I have played many games and this is the only game where I actually teared up a few times aside from the Red Dead Reemption ending. Naughty Dog, makes amazing games, I cant wait to see what they have in store for the PS4.
