Ellie morre em The Last of Us?

In the first game of The Last of Us franchise, Joel appears as the great protagonist of the adventure, as he is the character who is controlled most of the time by the players, even though Ellie is playable in a part of the journey. In the HBO adaptation, without the gameplay elements, the girl appears with the same level of protagonism as the character played by Pedro Pascal.

The series, which is being touted as the greatest adaptation of video games, follows the main events of the game quite faithfully, while some changes appear to give a touch of originality and even explore other possibilities of the plot. With Ellie as humanity’s hope, will the protagonists really find a cure with the Fireflies? And what will be Ellie’s fate in the midst of it all?

Born after the day of the outbreak, Ellie is a girl who never got to know the world before the apocalypse caused by the cordyceps fungus infection. Somewhat naive and innocent, the girl emerges as humanity’s last hope when discovering that she cannot be infected by the disease.

As in the series, in the game developed by Naughty Dog, the girl appears in Joel’s path after Marlene, the leader of the fireflies, asks the survivor to take the girl to a place where the organization can try to find a cure for all humanity. So the man and the girl cross the country side by side, on an extremely dangerous journey that could define the future of the entire planet.

With Joel being a rough man who lost his daughter tragically, little by little Ellie manages to awaken her paternal side in the survivor, and thus the game develops more and more bonds between the characters. After many dangers and problems, Joel and Ellie reach the end of their journey as father and daughter, which makes the man have to make a difficult decision.

When they finally find the Fireflies, Joel discovers that Ellie will not make it out alive from the procedure that could result in a cure for humanity. The man then makes the decision to save the life of the girl he now considers his daughter, denying any chance for the human race. Killing Fireflies, and even the doctor who would perform the procedure, Joel saves Ellie’s life, who is unconscious, and leaves the place. The game’s final minutes show the survivor lying to the girl, claiming that the Fireflies were unable to find a cure.

Second season

With the second season confirmed, we know that HBO will also adapt the events of the second game in the franchise. In this title, Ellie takes on an even greater role, being already older. When Joel is brutally murdered in front of her, Ellie embarks on a journey to avenge her father figure. After a lot of blood and losses, the girl ends the second game alive, which should be seen in the second season of the television production.
