Ellie kills Abby

>Ellie kills herself
Even happier ending then

She shoulda killed abby then went down trying to kill the cult.

Why do the dogs in this game lose their ability to smell you when you pop their owners or everyone is on alert?

It's a massive cliché to suddenly turn around at the final confrontation with the antagonist and finally realise that killing is bad. It's been doing a hundred times before in all sorts of media and it is bad then and it is bad now. It's just shit lazy writing considering the game hits you over the head with "revenge is bad btw" for the entire game and yet Ellie never changes her mind at any point up until the final part. If she had killed Abby it would have been satisfying for the player but the game could have then punished Ellie by taking everything she had left away from showing that revenge ultimately was just a fleeting satisfaction that ruined her life and everyone else's because of it. Instead we get more or less a "if you kill me you'll be just as bad as me" tier ending that doesn't feel right, makes no sense and is unsatisfying considering its a fucking video game and everyone playing wanted to shoot Abby and most players fucking hated her.
tldr; shitty lazy writing that's been done a hundred times before

It's pretty funny that Ellie only managed to save Abby's life at the end. Without her intervention, Abby and the tranny would have just died on the poles.

Agreed, it's a much better ending. But a lot of people seem to get mad at the choice to let Abby live because "NOOOOO SHE KILLED JOELERINOOOOOOO" and not because it gives Ellie a proper happy ending which she doesn't deserve.

Also I think I could make these assumptions considering the game was really shoving this in your face. The themes are pretty obvious

Making up alternative realities and cognitive distancing is a form of cope and a sign of mental immaturity. Accept it for what it is, hate it, love it, but don't make up head canons because it rots your brain.

answer honestly, did you play this game? Not that the game is so profound and complex and there's multiple layers or anything, but if you think it's simply "revenge is bad" and "Ellie didn't kill Abby because killing is bad" it seems like you didn't play it

>sparing 2 people
Two dying people that others already decided to kill, people that would have died regardless if she decided to fuck off elsewhere that day, people that brutally murdered countless others, people that killed her "father" AND would kill her as well if she decided to take the same revege she was subjected to

Not like she actually decided to spare them, she just got her ass beaten, losing half a hand AND her new family as well
She end up being more miserable than before, having also killed others in the process

What an absolute mess

>tldr; shitty lazy writing that's been done a hundred times before
You know what's been done to death more than that? The hero's journey, literally in nearly every single form of narrative ever made throughout history. Why are you not in every single thread on Zig Forums complaining about the biggest trope of all time, the hero's journey?

of course I didn't play it I watched it why would I spend money on it

If it was in a big AAA release that was the only game Zig Forums was talking about with 10+ threads at any given time I probably would but there isn't and here we are

She's a cuck for not killing Abby. A little dumb bitch. She killed anyone and everything in her way except arguably for the only person who deserved it. Who cares about the good? The morality? You can still be a good person even if you get revenge. You can still have a good conscious even if you commit the act. Who cares if Joel wouldn't have actually wanted you to kill her? Fuck it. Oh boo hoo you're ugly jew gf left you, find someone else.

It's hack writing to pull the "she'll be just as bad as them" garbage.

>If you didn't play TLOU2 don't answer
Haven't played it, never will, will always shit on it, dilate

Be my guest, but there's a reason why I didn't want people who didn't play the game to not comment. If you played the game you'd understand.

>moves on with her life knowing that she did the right thing for the first time in the entire game and no longer blinded by rage and sorrow
False. Ellie kills herself after TLOU2.

No she didn't

Fasle. The zombies now can fly in TLoU3

>Ellie kills Abby and everyone who knew who so nobody can take revenge
I will now buy your game.

Because I like Joel and Ellie, and absolutely despise the ugly dyke. It's not about the characters, it's about catharsis for the player to finally get to kill that annoying, disgusting thing.

Just kill the ladyboy too. The cycle is broken.

I watched it too, felt like the best way to experience it.

The game puts you in the position of Ellie when Joel gets killed before you even get to see him properly or say goodbye. That propels you to the same rage Ellie experiences when she decides to go after Abby. By the end (and I assume you didn't play the game because it's pretty hard to miss that) you're still in Ellie's position when you understand that killing Abby isn't the catharsis you thought it would be.

Personally I was much more satisfied with seeing Ellie who during the entire game destroyed herself and her loved ones to kill Abby finally patch herself up and move on. She didn't deserve an ending half as happy as this.

VIDEO GAME

BUT IN THE END IT HAS TO BE THIS WAAAAA

>Ummm... THE HERO'S JOURNEY IS A TROPE
It's not though, the concept of the hero's journey exists because it's literally how you tell a compelling story in general. The heroes journey can be applied to literally every piece of entertainment because, if it's not a part of a piece of media, that piece of media is either a shitty documentary or a livestream. Your argument is the equivalent of saying
>"The" is such a boring word. We use it so fucking much, why aren't you bitching about "The" instead of "cunt"?

Could've been nice to have Abby just dying by starving. Only Lev surviving somehow. Making this all revenge thing from Ellie absurd.
