Part 6/13:
The core of the discussion revolves around how the show deviates from the source material. In the game, Ellie is a sympathetic, likable character, with her relationships and motivations explored gradually. The series, however, portrays Ellie as smug, arrogant, and less empathetic, diminishing her relatability. Bella Ramsey’s performance is critiqued for not embodying the nuance that viewers expect, making her less compelling as Ellie.
