And we're back to the worksheets. (They CAN'T do that, any more than Joel could have left Ellie with the Fireflies. As Neo said to Agent Smith at the end of Matrix Revolutions, "it was inevitable.")https://twitter.com/elliespoetry/status/1284966073964662787 …

I think they *could* have. It would have just been a different scenario.

Like I actually do think it would be more Interestimg if they had had a conversation at any point than that ghastly final scuffle. Truly. But I am willing to buy the idea that it required a different setting for them to do so.

I mean, it would have required a scenario where Ellie cornered Abby and tortured her instead of Nora to get the motive, which I think is not exactly what these folks are envisioning Or PERHAPS just Ellie not seeing Joel killed, but then she probably never tracks down Abby at all

Empathy is a longer journey away than just one conversation, anyway I mean come on, it's not like Abby doesn't *know* how much Joel meant to Ellie, it's not like she doesn't understand parent/child relationships, this "Oh gosh I never considered" kind of thing

Um, I'm actually pretty sure that yes Abby's entirely wrapped up in her own shit given the inspirations but sure nothing about that is realistic, neither is the story

Abby knows who Ellie is, everyone does, and the story of why and how Joel laid waste to the hospital to save Ellie doesn't take all that much imagination to piece together

The idea that Joel saved Ellie out of love is not some big epiphanic realization It's kind of obvious Why else would he have done it, did they think he was getting paid or something
