As a gay guy I can say that we didn't ask or want this. We weren't looking for representation in every show. They had a complete story to go by, but no, they had to completely change everything. Why HBO? Why?

The girl is completely annoying. Ellie wasn't like this in the game. She was a scared little 14 year old girl in the beginning, scared of guns, and completely freaked out when she saw a monster die....but this character? She is a smart ass and not scared at all.

Also Joel was not a pushover like he is in the show. He was tough. He wouldn't take any of her crap like they are portraying here. She completely walks all over him.

They had everything they needed, and they managed to screw it up...great job HBO!
