End her story at the same spot in the theatre right before confrontation with Ellie, and then jump back to Wyoming and the golf club.

it's an interesting concept, but I think people would have been equally pissed if the game made them bond with her first, only to have her kill Joel in brutal fashion.
I fully get the "the structure didn't work for me" argument. It's flawed for sure, and I do think it could be massively improved. But I also struggle to come up with a "perfect" structure that makes sense both from a narrative and gameplay standpoint. This is where the TV series will have a huge advantage, they can go about it in a completely different way and I'm sure they will.
