I myself never had issues with the trailers and how they presented things. Though I am one of the people who would have wanted to play Ellie the whole first game as well. I actually rewatch the trailers for Part 2 pretty often and own the Covers and Rarities LP. I do know a lot of the internet is pissed off at it.
If anything the bait and switch was making people think she was getting revenge for something that happened to Dina.
Sure, but like… are we mad they didn’t spoil major plot points and obfuscate the biggest death of the series?
