I tried really, really hard not to feel that way during this season but... yeah Bella Ramsay's Ellie is annoying. I do maintain that she played a great mid-teens Ellie in S1 (and the flashback episode confirmed that - best Ellie of the season by far) but she's not captured older/rageful Ellie at all... it's coming across entitled and irritating... like her relationship with Jessie is totally different in show (they're friends with deep respect for each other in game) and I can see WHY that is... like... he's not wrong?
In the game yes she acts selfishly but it's much, much more clear that she's not thinking clearly/is totally blinded by grief, it's not "her".
Also doesn't help that I do actually
slightly side Team Abby in the game narrative but it's very close "both sides have a point/both sides are also wrong" thing. In the show I'm worried people will just end up going full Team Abby
.
I feel like I might like Abby more
