May removes any idea of "romance" between her and the dude, which I think is a wise move.

Never really considered that, but makes perfect sense. Well that and, according to Naughty Dog, they wanted to modify Ellie to look more like her voice actress, Ashley Johnson.

When December came out, I remember reading opinion pieces everywhere saying there was an unspoken sexual tension and "feelings" between the pair in the trailers, which I never really saw. At the same time when it was revealed she's actually 14, questions were being asked about Joel being a peadophile (which makes sense considering NG said, he's not your A-typical good guy), "fixing" her face and explaining the protectiong storyline will hopefully remove all of that.

excellent observation. And I also think by making her look even younger, the situation she is in, the way the world around her has changed her, will be showcased better. It's the man she is so young but has been through so much mentality I suppose and it will work like a charm.
