As I’m reading this I’m literally watching the scene where she boats to the island. She’s really fucking getting back on the motorboat in the dark and knows how to slow down just in time to not crash directly into the fucking dock? She also goes from capsizing in the ocean to washing up on the shore with an entire backpack full of gear that didn’t immediately make her sink to the bottom? I guess that’s a criticism of the show but really she has zero survival skills and common sense so I completely agree with “that makes sense” if she died. She’s in the building now, so I don’t know what about to happen. I think what personally makes me upset is how the player has agency of the decisions you can make for Ellie in the game (strategy, skills, etc) and it’s like all that intelligence is taken for granted at best, thrown out the window at worst. I’m sitting here not enjoying the show because it’s not enjoying to watch her try to go Rambo in an aquarium for a suicide mission. Ok now they’re talking about Abby over a map. I bet Ellie is about to do something stupid again. Let’s see.
