Pick up my sci-fi novels Herokiller and Herokiller 2, and read my first series, The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. Still, cool to see the thought process here.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Final warningthis is the ultimate spoiler So, long story short, the end of The Last of Us has Joel finding the Fireflies and handing Ellie over to them, only to find out that they want to kill her and harvest her brain for the spent spores that should have taken over her mind and killed her. And the game is better for it, though that will be debated until The Last of Us Part 3 in 2025, I’m guessing. Ellie not killing her prevents her from becoming a true monster in my eyes and starting on the road to healing, and it felt like the right decision.Īnd yet of course many wished that this was simply more of a traditional revenge tale and Ellie killed Abby as “justice” for Joel. At that point, Abby has suffered unbelievably for months at the hands of the California gang, her friends are already dead and now she has a surrogate son/little brother to take care of. I have repeatedly said that my own personal view is that the ending is perfect, and that it would have been a way worse finish had Ellie actually killed Abby. The theme what we're trying to say shifted a little bit, but our top priority always is are we being honest to the character? There's certain things we are trying to hit but they can only work if we're consistent with the character we're writing." "But at the end of the day, it felt more honest for the character. "Letting Abby live felt wrong thematically initially," Druckmann said. We’re going to see how we compare to everyone else.So, who made the call? That was game director Neil Druckmann who apparently “shocked” Gross with the reversal, the idea that Ellie should let her live: I’m real excited for the state tournament. “I’m really proud of our team this season, considering the level of play right now, and it’s only going to get better. “That makes me more motivated, honestly,” Ellie said. In 2019, the last year the state tournament was played, Hall was the second seed and lost to 15th seed Greenwich 1-0 in the first round. Darien and New Canaan are ranked ahead of Hall in Class L, and both are undefeated. Hall, which has never won a state title in field hockey, will have a high seed going into the Class L tournament, but it’s always tough for the teams in Central Connecticut to go up against the Fairfield County teams, which have won the Class L title the last eight years (Glastonbury tied Darien in 2014). Hall is used to playing on artificial turf, so that changed the way the Warriors played. Hall’s only blemish on its record is a 1-1 tie against Longmeadow (Mass.) High School where the game was played on grass. If as Abby you fail to kill Ellie or stop her, the game doesn't progress or end. We do a lot of 3v3 in the circle and they’re hard to score on, so she gets a lot of practice in tough situations.” The footage doesn't show this, but I don't get how someone would get all but one important detail right. And every day in practice, she goes against top defenders. “She and Bridget work well together,” Behan said. She is surrounded by a talented team, including senior forward Bridget McGann, and a strong defense anchored by senior goalkeeper Addison O’Connell and senior center back Brooke Martindale. “She is someone that you have to account for at all times,” Perkins said. It’s not all in the circle.”Īccording to Glastonbury coach Maureen Perkins, whose team lost to Hall 2-1 in overtime in the season opener, Ellie has a great understanding of the game and is fundamentally sound in her skills. “She also gets the ball in the midfield and brings it up even though she’s a center forward,” Behan added. “It’s hard to defend because the shot comes so quickly,” Behan said.
I’ve practiced getting it off quickly and developing more power.” “I’ve worked on it a lot because I want to become good at it. “You’re coming from a different angle and it’s a skill that takes a lot of time to develop,” Ellie said.
Her favorite shot is what she calls a “reverse chip.” “She’s got a very strong hit so if she gets a shot off, it’s pretty unstoppable.” “She takes a lot of corners,” Behan said. In the last few years, Ellie said she’s learned more complex skills and different kinds of shots. “When I played, we started in eighth grade,” said Warriors coach Jenna Behan, who graduated from Hall in 2015. Ellie, now a sophomore forward at Hall, has 30 goals and 16 assists for the Warriors, who are 12-0-1 and ranked fourth in the Connecticut field hockey coaches’ poll.īecause she was able to play from such a young age, Ellie is comfortable with the stick in her hand and was able to enter high school as an accomplished player.
