![]() That guilt about the missed years is what drives her revenge, everytime she strikes out to pursue it. Ellie feels guilty about how she left things with Joel (and for most of the game we believe that their last interaction was a bad one), and also even moreso guilty that she squandered her final years with Joel by avoiding him, ever since two years prior when she discovered Joel's secret. That's why they give us those seemingly random flashbacks towards the end of the kiss with Dina, and then in the epilogue with Joel playing guitar on the porch after the kiss. I think that she lets Abby go because she in the same moment lets go of her guilt. and now, here she is, killing abby out of anger. she should have just let go of that anger. but she, ellie, wasted that time, lingering on that anger. joel is always gonna die, there's nothing changing that, it's just time. ![]() ![]() it was her fault, because she stayed angry with him. then there on the beach, she realizes it wasn't abby's fault that she and joel didn't had time. if only.Īt first, ellie blames abby for killing joel, and taking away that chance to spend their lives in peace inside jackson. if only she would have forgiven him sooner, if only she would've let of that anger inside her, and given this man the best five years of his life with her. then suddenly, he was taken away the next day. that image of joel on the porch, that was her last memory of her, and that was the time that she decided to start forgiving joel. My understanding is that, she sees that image of joel on his porch, and she realized, joel is not gonna be happy with what she's done with her life. I know my points are dumb, but this is really how I feel and I had to find a way to put them into more words than “I just liked it better.” Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I like Part 2 better because, in my opinion, it has much more emotion and story than Part 1. Abby does what it takes to protect Lev, who she has brought across the country. While trying to kill Abby, she realizes that Abby is, in a way, like Joel. Plus, someone will eventually want revenge for Abby’s death. He’s gone, and more deaths won’t bring him back. She realizes revenge for Joel is useless.After nearly drowning Abby, she gives up. After killing more people and infected, she finds Abby. This time she’s alone, with no help or support. After talking to Tommy, she leaves her lover and adopted(?) son to pursue her revenge. Abby is the villain in Ellie’s side of the story, while Abby has the Seraphites and, later on, the Wolves.Īfter going through Abby’s story, we’re back to Ellie. Unlike Ellie, Abby actually fully went through with her revenge. Abby spares the life of a pregnant woman, unlike Ellie. However, Abby does do some things that are the opposite of what Ellie did. Joel saved the life of a child from the enemy team. Ellie goes after Abby in revenge for her father figure’s death. These actions parallel Joel’s and Ellie’s. She saves the life of a child from the enemy team. Abby kills Joel in revenge for her father’s death. There’s no story without two sides, and this is the second side. But this time, the goal comes to her.īoth are moving towards each other, until they finally cross paths. Ellie kills who and what she needs to, and eventually makes it to her goal. Soon later, Joel dies.Įllie, like Joel, goes across the country with a companion - Dina. "I was supposed to die in that hospital! My life would’ve fucking mattered but you took that from me!” She says she can’t forgive him, but wants to try. She says she could've handled him, and later brings up what happened at the end of Part 1. He pushed the guy who called her a homophobic slur. Right before the events of the story, Ellie had an argument with Joel. Abby, Joel's killer, had her reasons to kill Joel, who killed her father. Ellie decides to go to extreme lengths to get revenge. This gives her PTSD, which is later shown in the story. In Part 2, Joel is killed while Ellie watches. Joel, who originally wasn't up to the task, starts lightening up to Ellie, who in a way replaces what Joel lost at the beginning of the outbreak: his daughter. This brings us on an emotional journey across America. In Part 1, Joel is tasked with taking Ellie to the Fireflies so they can make a cure. It was so fun, and I loved the characters. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the first game.
