I've been thinking about what would sufficiently motivate Ellie's vendetta in TLOU2. The death of a loved one is certainly a likely cause. Perhaps some hunters/Fireflies killed Joel like the popular theory, perhaps it was a lover she found at the settlement, perhaps Tommy's whole settlement got wiped out (less likely given Joel's attitude in the teaser), or perhaps she even had a child recently who was either killed or abducted. Both those images could certainly suggest the last option. If so, I wonder if the Fireflies took her kid for the cure in place of her. Regardless, rampage would definitely be imminent.
