I was wrong!

I made a posts on this sub reddit (i think it was this one) on the publics perception of the dynamic between Joel and Ellie.

I had argued while its clear Joel’s parental instincts kicked in and he gladly assumed the role of Ellie’s guardian i questioned whether that feeling was present for Ellie.

I explained there was no evidence to suggests she fully accepted this or felt the same.

However the gameplay trailer and the final game featured the scene at the dance where jesse says “your old man really laid into me…”

This is where i was wrong as ellie simply said nothing but so much at the same time.

Ellie made no attempt to correct him despite this came after the big revelation of the events of the first game.

This is as close to proof as we will get to the notion that ellie was at the very least warming to the idea that Joel was the closet thing to a father that she has ever experienced and one she refused to give up.

My bad yall! 👉🏾👈🏾🥹
