If it helps (though this is an actual spoiler)
Spoiler:

To be fair Abby comes to the conclusion that vengeance/killing Joel did nothing to help her and felt empty, that it's just a pointless cycle of violence, waaaaaaay quicker than Ellie... so it's not like she's going around happy/celebrating being a Joel-killer.


I think they can work around the physical differences in the character to be fair, though they'll need to lean more into her being a good tactician/leader to justify the comments about her being such a great soldier, since she's not in straight up "super soldier territory" like game Abby.

I think one of the saddest parts about it is that we'll (surely) never get to see show Abby kill a clicker with her bare fists like she can on a few occasions in game. Just swaggering around punching them square in the throat until they die .

They've DEFINITELY set up Abby vs "The Rat King" though - which is a big/messed up infected in the hospital basement, I suspect the show version is going to be (...partly... ...) the son of that ALF deputy lady, who she had to trap down there (and Ellie saw starting to look suspiciously Rat-Kingy).

Spoiler for what the Rat King is if you don't want to know
Spoiler:

It's basically a blob of multiple infected that have grown/fused together into one big... multi-headed thing... Abby fights it in the hospital, it's horrific
