Now we know the answer: she wont.
Aesthetically and thematically, they form a key part of her character.
This is an important visual development - two roads diverged in a mushroom-covered wood.
We see Abby retreat into bodybuilding in an attempt to shield herself from ever being hurt again.
She has led them into danger and was unable to save them.
Its also an important visual image.
This was an extremely powerful moment in the game, and a massive risk.
ButThe Last of Us is a rare adaptationwhereappealing to the fans is not the core aim.
Bulking up to Abbys physique is difficult to do, and unhealthy in a short space of time.
I had hoped for a little movie magic.
Abby is 2000-era big muscles Wolverine, not 2024-era dehydrated superhuman vein-popping Wolverine.
Though it may not have been as striking as the game, the visuals still could have worked.
Of course, there is another logistical issue for The Last of Us to solve.
Now theyre 21 playing 19 - Ellie is meant to have changed, but Ramsey hasnt.
Its another conundrum for HBO.
Do I expect them to solve it?
But for me, it will never be the true Abby without this part of her character.
Just someone wearing her clothes, and the clothes are too big.
