Something something the parallels between Vi being trapped under rubble as Vander dies brutally mutated before her, Ellie being physically restrained as Joel is beaten to death.
The ultimate doomed father-daughter relationships, the mirror images, and grief channeled as rage and physical violence that will be their ultimate undoing.

You know, y'all can make your own interpretations of greek gods without tagging them as Lore Olympus Redesigns. Better yet, you can write your own goddamn adaptation and not see it as a failure of Smythe to not have captured your meow meows the way you see them.

2) Let them get bored after a while and seek out different books.
3) Repeat.
