Abby Anderson (The Last of Us Part II)

Abby Anderson is the playable main antagonist from The Last of Us Part II. Unfortunately, her imfamy on killing Joel from the first game and her being a Karma Houdini for it led to players hating her.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) She looks like her head was transplanted onto a man's body.
 * 2) Her sex scene is very cringeworthy.
 * 3) She kills Joel, a beloved character. She doesn't even have a good reason to want to kill Joel given he was justified in killing her father to save Ellie. The plot point where she killed Joel is also extremely contrived and tacked-on.
 * 4) * In fact, her father was actually having second thoughts about operating on (and therefore killing) Ellie in order to make a cordyceps cure, until Abby talked him into it. This means that Abby herself is the person truly responsible for her father's death, rather than Joel.
 * 5) The game tries to make you feel sorry for her after kills Joel which only makes players hate her.
 * 6) She has Mel sent out on missions while pregnant and despite being their best doctor.
 * 7) You are forced to play as her for half the game, which makes her even more unlikable as players wished to continue Joel and Ellie's story.
 * 8) She tries to slit Dina's throat even after being told she's pregnant.
 * 9) She bites off Ellie's fingers.
 * 10) She's a Karma Houdini that Ellie just spares after killing everyone else.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Laura Bailey does a good job voicing the character.

Trivia

 * The character is so bad that even Laura Bailey (her voice actress) hated her early on until she came to appreciate and understand her role.
