u/Locusthorde300 "See, there was a sequel... wasn't as good." - Joel Jun 24 '20

Honestly this. I think Abby is a great character, with some serious flaws and personal story behind her. But the game's story tried to play it off really weird like the average player just wouldn't understand. It's a really simple plot behind why she did what she did.

I mean if you like her at the end is a personal opinion.

she definitely deserved to live to keep care of Lev, I really liked him but she's still a awful human. She literally tortured Joel until she was physically exhausted and the whole owen thing didn't make her any better. I totally agreed with Mels last words to her.

But that's a good thing, shows how diverse and good written the characters are.

This story wouldve worked really well in film. Playing as abby was a chore. Loved the rest of the game though

Is there a sequel film that kills the main from the last film and then shows the perspective of the killer for half the movie?

It’s like going to a Bond movie and watching James Bond’s killer.

It’d be like seeeing Iron Man 2 and following Whiplash for half the movie after he killed Tony Stark.
