Spoiler Alert I think Naughty Dog gave us a new view of such a beloved world. I want to say that I don't hate Joel or disagree with him saving Ellie. If I had been in his shoes I would have saved my daughter over letting her die for a maybe cure. Because let's get real people. It is not easy to find a cure and there was a 50/50 chance her death would have been meaningless and all that would have been accomplished would be a dead little girl. He was human just like everyone else though. There is only choices. The good or the bad have consequences. The second game was the consequence of Joel's actions. And the end of his story. I honestly wonder how many people would actually really like Abby if we had started with her story. Would they have hated Joel and Ellie? This is definitely a story of tragedy. And it always has been. But there is hope. Even losing everything can be beneficial. This is a new slate for the both if them. There are some choices that do make me angry but overall I absolutely love the game and it's dynamic. This is a story that gives you the cold hard truth. You can be the protagonist of your own story but the antagonist of another's adventure. The fact that people are hating on this game because of the LGBTQ in it just baffles my mind. It was established that Ellie was a lesbian in the first game. That this might surprise or anger individuals makes me question their love of the first game. I mean does anyone even remember Bill? The gay man with a dead male lover. I hate that people are also hating on Abby for might being trans. First of all, I doubt she is. Just for those naive people, there is such thing as women being built like that. Especially with how much dedication she had to training for vengeance. Stop being a stereotype. And they weren't trying to push an agenda onto you. Ellie's part made me just want to cry for her and hold her. She's lost so much and to see her lose her dad who you can tell she really loves. She just was being a teenager with her anger at him for making such a difficult decision for her. That's normal for a teenager. I believe she was getting to the point of forgiveness and reconciliation. Which probably was a huge part of her anger. She wasn't just angry at Abby. She was angry at herself. Quite frankly, this game is amazing and everyone should experience it. Even if you just watch game play of it. I love Abby even though she made questionable decisions. This game only reinforced my love of Ellie. It made both young women human and relatable. It told us the truth about the darkside of our humanity. And this is why people don't want to like it. That and they feel like it's a betrayal to their favorite character by actually liking Abby. They hate that Naughty Dog just cut Joel off with his death early on. Naughty Dog gave us a great game with such dynamic and enriching characters. We have been given something new and that it a good thing and not something to be hated. Any who disagree is free to. But you should question why you do.
