Step beyond the spores if you haven't watched "Feel Her Loveube", the fifth episode of Season 2 of "The Last of Us". Large spoilers Incoming!

Ever since Eli - one of the protagonists of "The Last of Us" (who played on the white Ramsey series) - watched Her father figure Eloel Miller (Pedro Pascal) beat up to death From the avenging Abi Nsonson (Caitlin Dever) earlier in season 2 of "The Last of Us", she is out of blood. (Specifically, Abi's blood.) Now, in "Feel Her Loveubov", Eli and her best friend turned into a girl dina (Isabella Merced) are in the hunting of Seattle Abi and her entire "Wolves" team (meaning they belong to the liberation front). Actually, when you find one of the groups of Abi (Tati Gabriel as the doctor nora), Eli's thirst for revenge trampled her to the extent that even Craig Mazin, who co-developed and showed the series along with the creator of the video game "The Last of Us", Neil Drakman, was scared.

"At that moment, in that hallway (with Nora), (director) Steven Williams and Bella and I discussed how this would cause the audience because I think we all want Eli and Root for Eli partly because Eli is a protagonist - but not here," Mazz explained during the episode. Hollywood reporter. "No, not here. She Whether Turn from Esses (one of Eli's friends played by Yang Mazino) and Dina. She does this terrible thing - the look of the face and the way she transforms into that scene. I was scared of her, and I didn't like it, and I didn't want to do what she was doing. "

In addition, Mazz revealed that he came with ... Ramsey's disturbing nickname while working at the place where Nora is facing:

"Tim Good - editor of that episode - and I referred to white in that scene as" Baby Shark "because there is something about her eyes that are so dark and dead. There is this fierceness that Bella can create. This is so far from what we only saw an episode earlier with her and Dinah celebrates LOVEUBOV and new life. "

I described Eli as one of the protagonists of the "last of us" before, but I should directly say that this series - and the video games on which it is based - play fast and loosely with the ordinary concept of "protagonists". ELOEL, who died terribly in the second episode of Season 2, "Through the Valley". was Our protagonist in Season 1; The focus now has switched to Eli, and everyone who plays the game knows that Abi also becomes a protagonist in their own sense. (Early in the sequel in 2020 "The Last of Us Part II", which serves as a original material for season 2 of HBO adaptation, focus sharply shifts to Abi, and you play like it before killing ELOEL, who Really Throws loop gamers because they don't expect it.) Now, we are losing faith in Eli, and as Craig Mazin told him, he knew this was going to happen, because what Eli was doing in this episode is So maliciously and forcibly that it will be difficult for audience members to hold on to her. (Also, as it happens, incredibly faithful to "the last of us part II".)

"Just as Abi began to slip for her listed reasons, we can see Eli slipping for the reasons listed," Mazin revealed. "This is no longer rational." Showner then continued to say that after the speech Eli gives it to the protected neighborhood of Acksexon in episode 3, the "track", asking people to help find Abi in the name of ELOEL, is ... just an excuse to commit violent acts:

"It is far from that false speech she delivered at a meeting of (Jexon City Council). Oh, this is not for revenge, it is for us and community." This comes back immediately to what has always been there in Eli, which is anger that I don't even think she's fully course.

I said Eli's actions in "Feel Her Loveub" are disturbing and wicked for some time, so What really happened here? Nora and Eli the first cross paths in "Through the Valley", where Eli sees Abi overcame ELOEL on the edge of death and then finished it Driving the stuck, broken golf shaft -the club in the neck. As an incompetent Eli lies prone to the floor, she tells Abi, Nora and their other allies that she will kill everyone, and in "Feel Her Loveubov", Eli, Eli Finally Comes face to face with Nora.

After Essesi, Dina and Eli were attacked by the Serafits in the Seattle Form Park (and Dina takes an arrow to his leg), Eli continues independently, infiltrating Lekhil's hospital. (Unknown to her, this WLF stronghold has a huge infestation in the basement. Fortunately, spores cannot infect Eli - as we all know, she is fully immune to the Cordyceps.) Eli finds Nora in the Gulf of Medical and, thanks to an old lifts. She is not happy to allow the other woman to simply die, Eli beat Nora savage with a piece of tube, struggling until she gave up the location of Abi.

To be fair to Eli, Nora makes a real meal from saying he can still "hear" ELOEL screams before saying he would come. Plus, we get A. Huge Discover when Nora says Eli must be an immune girl for whom Eloel killed a ton of doctors for, including Abi's father, to save and Eli says she already knows this - But Craig Mazin is right. This is a real point without a return for Eli, which will clearly stop anything to take revenge and is incredible, dangerous one -way, as it continues its search. She has already broken one of Abi's allies, and now, she comes to others.
