By the time she comes around, she’s lost her family, her ability to play music, and her sense of purpose in life. The true twist of Part II is that like Joel before her, Ellie is not able to overcome her darkest emotions when it truly matters. It was perhaps this focus, and Johnson‘s likability, that blinded most of us from the path Ellie had been set on. Franchise creator Neil Druckmann has even stated that, despite her supporting role in the game, he often viewed The Last of Us as Ellie’s coming-of-age story. Even with early advertising propping up Joel as the story’s leading man, fans could tell that it was the young Elliot Page look-alike, doing battle against fungal beasts, that would steal the show.

Ellie Williams, as Japanese gaming manuals like to call her, was not the hero of The Last of Us Part II. In fact, it almost feels like the most recent game went out of its way to set her up as the heart of a hypothetical third installment. And yet, despite all of this, she may be the franchise’s best shot at an actual happy ending. She brought out the worst in everyone’s favorite protagonist, Ashley Johnson‘s Ellie. For a lot of fans, she is the person who killed Troy Baker‘s soulful southern brute, Joel. Even if a lot of that hate comes from less-than-desirable places. Laura Bailey‘s Abby Anderson is not the most universally loved character in the history of video games. Regardless of the route you choose, you will eventually reach the cut-scene with the soldier.I imagine that a lot of people clicked on this article out of anger, and I sort of get it.
