Ellie and Abby are supposed to be mirrors of each other, and the message isn’t about whose side you’re on but about the cycle of violence and revenge; However, this message was executed horribly. The show completely fumbles the message they’re trying to convey because they almost completely neuter Ellie in season 2. In the game Ellie damn near becomes a monster, which helps make the “You are no different than her” point come across way better; And I wish we got to see that. You never get that “Ellie I love you, but wtf are you doing??” feeling in the show that they expect people to have; So the entire time you just hate Abby regardless of her backstory. They also fumbled this by splitting the season; Cause now you’re expecting people who can’t stand Abby to watch a whole season of her being the main character after waiting for 2 years. They should’ve had Ellie and Abby’s storyline going in sync (with a longer season or longer episodes if necessary) with the finale being the complete theater scene. The one point I will give them is Dina. Dina told Ellie that if she left they were done, and Ellie chose vengeance over her family. That kinda goes into what Jessie was saying in this episode, too. It got to a point where Ellie lost the plot and she wasn’t avenging Joel for Joel’s sake, she was doing it for herself And y’all’s discussion about differences of opinion is top tier. I just had a back and forth recently that you guys spoke to perfectly. I can’t stand people that can’t just agree to disagree without trying to vilify someone when it’s not necessary
