abby’s physicality was so important to her character 😤 nothing to do with gameplay

he's gaslighting himself into justifying his decision 🙂

she was buff because she trained for like 6 years with soul purpose of killing Joel.

Abby being jacked was 100% necessary. It showed how obsessed she was with getting revenge. The fact the creator of the show doesn't understand that is ridiculous.

Confirming he entirely missed the point of the character

Game abby was an indoctrinated firefly. Militant upbringing. She trained for months post Salt Lake City. Her physicality is INCREDIBLY important to her character. I’m annoyed that the casting doesn’t show a strong body

the way how the fans know the game better than the writers is concerning

when the director of the show doesn't even know the reason the main character are the way they are. is this a joke? a show created by people who haven't even watched the games. created with zero love for the games.

her muscles were so important for her character and it's insane that the Same producers won't acknowledge it

Completely wrong way of putting it. Abby being built is to reflect her loss of her dad so she worked out to kill Joel.

There's so much more to Abby's physicality than different playstyles. The fact they didn't understand that makes sense to how she's been portrayed. Plus it seems they just wanted to hire her and it was too late for Ellie.

As co plex of a character Abby is, the thing that made her stand out was her physique. Taking that away makes her way less intimidating and just another person in the apocalypse. Kaitlyn is a great actress, but not the right choice imo. One of the many changes Craig has made that has ruined the show for me.

People screaming that Abbys physicality was CRUCIAL to the game made me think we would actually train her in the game or see flashbacks telling the story of why she got so strong, but NOTHING is ever mentioned about it. It’s up for INTERPRETATION in the game. It’s a just a subtle context clue in the game😂 Meaning it was not CRUCIAL to Abby

For a guy who played the games it’s crazy to me how much he misunderstood the game

1. you don’t even play as ellie in the first game & 2. abby’s physicality is not just for gameplay, it’s because she trained for YEARS to avenge her father’s death. she was fueled by revenge, just like ellie is in tlou2. ABBY’S PHYSICAL STRENGTH IS INTEGRAL TO HER CHARACTER. especially considering how her physicality is so different when ellie finds her at the end of the game.
