It carries so much more weight than this 'meta' narrative that Neil tries to push. That would've been so much more powerful than letting Abby live because the character you just controlled for 10 hours and her story are all erased by a single bullet. Imagine playing as Abby for 10+ hours, making it to the theater where Ellie is hiding, only to get shot by Ellie in the head. Naughty Dog took a great leap in hoping the player would feel for Abby, but I am here to say that I think killing Abby, in the theater, where the protagonist and antagonist finally meet, would've been so much better. The flashbacks as Abby just didn't captivate me as much as Ellie's did, and in the end I still wanted Abby dead. It's bold, but I feel like it doesn't quite work. Aside from Ellie never shining, I do admire Naughty Dog's attempt to make you feel for the main antagonist. She simply just gets absolutely low balled by Neil Druckman, and I have no Idea why. To top it off, Ellie never gets her moment in this game, she never gets her resolve, no revenge, no shining moment. The flashbacks in which Ellie appears are the best parts of the game, but as I just said, the first game is the only reason in which I am so wrapped up in the story. I personally LOVE Ellie as a protagonist, but I can't help but think that the only reason I like her is because of the base the Last of Us 1 has set up. (if you played the game you most definitely know the 2) For starters, Ellie is an amazing protagonist, she is acted extremely well and her story is so dark, that you can't help but feel for her. I can agree that this game could have been better, there are 2 major plot points in which I do not agree with. First things first, this is NOT a perfect game. The Last of Us 1 was an emotional experience, and it captivated players all around the world for just how well it was actually written.
