Like, I get why Abby wants revenge. Joel killed her dad. I personally think the writers handled her revenge about as sloppily as possible (based off what I know, I admittedly haven't played the game) by having Joel save her and that not matter to her at all (oh an occasional look that might be inner conflict, big whoop) and by not having her and Joel talk about it at all (how great would it have been if she asked if Ellie even wanted to be saved? Uh oh Joel, your sins are coming back to bite you! Instead there's just nothing), but fine. Her lust for vengeance has a solid motive.

It's the cold-blooded torture I can't get past. Joel did it in the first game for information and he dispatched the two dudes right after. Anyone who tortures someone like that for their own satisfaction, I'm left thinking the person is just using their supposed vengeance as an excuse to vent their bloodlust. Anyone who does that is scum and I'm not interested in a story trying to redeem them after.

I don't know if Ellie set out to quickly kill Abby or if her goal was to torture her first as well, but at least that would be karmic retribution for what Abby had done and it wouldn't bug me as much.
