Just as Quint is famous jaw: "About the shark, his eyes are lifeless, dark, like doll's eyes. He doesn't seem angry when he follows you."

That's the atmosphere Bella Ramsey gave HBO Our last one Co-creator Craig Mazin and certainly a lot of viewers - in the climax scene of episode 5 of Season 2 (the plot sabotage below), Ellie encounters the threatening Nora (Tati Gabrielle) in the underground maze while repeatedly asking for "Abby?" to bathe in the red light to show the other side of Ellie, much colder and more cruel than she had seen before.

Do Stay away from Jesse and Dina. She did this terrible thing-the expression on her face and the way she changed in that scene. I was afraid of her, I didn't like her, I didn't want her to do what she was doing. Tim Good - Editor of that episode - I called Bella "Baby Shark" in that scene because her eyes were a little dark. Bella can create this cruelty. It's a far cry from an episode we saw earlier that she and Dina celebrate love and a new life. ”

Majin continued that the scene should remind the audience that it was a bit Abby when he killed Joel.

“Like Abby starts to get rid of the reasons she stated, we can see Ellie slipping away from the reasons she stated,” Mazin said. "It's no longer rational. She's far from that false speech at the (Jackson Town Council) meeting. Absolutely not.

Mazin added: "This is not the last time Ellie does what we imagined, 'We can't go that walk with your kids."

Previously, Ramsey told thr Regarding scenes like this, “For me, the most intense shooting scene is usually the easiest because I know exactly what that scene needs.”
