@Spartan_418: Yes... I do agree with your logic. They want to do a TLOU adaptation? Fine, but not the story we already know. Because the game is by itself a cinematic experience.
@thecupidstunts: "He made a selfish choice that benefitted nobody but himself"
Yes, the choice was selfish in a way, and a love act by the other side of the coin. For me, saving an innocent little child from being killed is always a good act no matter the consequences...
"My friend thinks that Ellie was redeemed in the end because she spared Abbey."
And your friends is (in my opinion) partially correct. Ellie is not redeemed, but she started a path of redemption. Same goes for Abby when she decided to save the kids.
And yes, I do agree that Ellie is empty, yet, she is now ready to live again, to move on with her life and to find some form of happiness... And that is, a very happy ending for me.
@gamerforlife96: Joel is a monster, Abby is a monster, Ellie is a monster and almost everyone is a monster. Yet, they are trying to find their humanity, to find the light again. Joel achieved it thanks to ELlie, Abby achieved it thanks to Lev, and Ellie achieved it thanks to her inner strengh and Joel... Its awesome once you undertand everything.
@dirtydyk: That's not very clever to say. Ellie being a "lesbian" is just characteristic, nothing more. It never has true weight in the narrative... But I have the feeling you already know that, but you probably like the word "woke" so much... So...
