The producers have done away with the spores for the tv series.
This show is so good at encapsulating the feel, look, and overall story of the game. It's perfect. Finally an adaptation of a game that's faithful while taking some liberties that feels right. As a TLOU fan boy I can truly say their doing this show right. It's clearly separating itself from TWD, which I am a fan of also, but in story, budget and set design there is a clear difference. There is money behind this show. TWD felt stale and generic from season 8 and on in that regard. TLOU and it's Fungus is actually scientifically true. To an extent. Only liberty is it can't live in humans. Ophiocordyceps mostly infiltrates ant colonies and other insects. The human body, and the brain mostly is too complex for Ophiocordyceps to infiltrate. But still a great job crafting an apocalypse story around it. This show is doing it right, and that's coming from a diehard fan of both games. Awesome reaction. And Boston is phenomenal. We'd be happy to have ya!
Marlene is actually the same actor from the video game.
I think the intro added something that the game lacked. Because in the game it isn't actually explain like that at all.
It would be really cool to get Holden the Chroma color blind glasses and see his reaction to color… and then have him redo all his reactions with the glasses on lol.
Fun fact: The actress who plays Marlene in the game also plays her in the tv show.
You're the first reactors I've watched to know the 3 nails plus 1 cross line.
Y'all should definitely play the halo series be fun to watch both of y'all playing together
Where or when will be the gaming channel or video?
i think a virus like that…Joel knew they had to get the hell away from the city. No city was safe and you have to go to the middle of nowhere to try and survive. Staying home they would have gotten overrun so fast
Has Holden seen those colorblind glasses? That could make for an interesting experience…and video, of course.
Use to play the game with my son all the time
We were really impressed with episodes 1 and 2.
Now thanks to episode we will never know about episode 4 on.
the first part of the episode is done so so well imo, Sarah is basically the protagonist and makes us feel for her personally, compared to the game where it felt like we only felt Joels pain because he lost a daughter and that was essentially all we knew, in the show we know her as a person, how she is, what sort of character she is so when she dies WE feel like we have lost her too, and therefore feel the pain for Joel even more!
The intro was a good and necessary addition. Not only is it an introduction for viewers with no knowledge of the story but it also sets it apart from a viral pandemic which we all just experienced and that this is more dangerous, It makes it easier to accept why this happened so incredibly fast compared to our first hand experience.
Your dog is so freaking cute, what kind is it?
My favorite game ever played it on my ps3 when I was 9 it was so good 🙏
I'm here to recommend to you to watch The Legend of Vox Machina, great animated show for adults, great characters and story
If the first scene wasn't at the beginning (basically saying there is no vaccine) the audience wouldn't know why Ellie matters after surviving infection.
i would say this show is good if as its own thing but not as a last of us adaptation.
the 2 things are didfferent things
Personally i would keep the fungus opening scene. and remove the all the fluff at the start with the daugter.
although the fungus exsplanation might of been better saved till after the death as in death>fungus>present day
Emotionless lol
Does Jenn have a single sister by any chance? Asking for a friend 😛
So I know I'm not the first to say this I saw it on another video but I can't give credit cuz I forgot who it was, but the three main characters survive getting infected from the food stores at least four times specifically with Joel forgetting to buy a cake and Sarah not getting a chance to eat any of the chocolate chip cookies and neither one of them eating any pancakes also Joel making the excuse that he was on the Atkins diet because if he was he wouldn't be ingesting as many carbs so bread and baked goods is out of the equation and then the brother Thomas was in jail on a bar fight so he probably didn't get to eat or drink anything that night
bro jedi fallen order is a must
dam, another one that is going to spoil themselves with the game. I just want a blind reaction dang nabit
Lame you're 200 years late
umm, i think Jen yould defenetly like "Alien: isolation" game lets say its a game pased on a movie while "The last of us" is a Tv series based on a game.
The effort made with this series intros’ is👌
Wait red & green color blind? So how do you manage stop lights? (Apologies for my ignorance in advance)
@Holden Hardman You guys could easily do the Assassin's Creed games if you stuck to the main missions only.
@Holden Hardman I wouldn't cut the 60's bit because the game never really told us how it all started. In the game, you only get to find newspaper clippings or letters about stuff in the past. The show is doing a great job of actually showing us.
You should watch Arcane. It is probably the best video game to tv show adaptation
On the my wife plays idea, It Takes Two would be a great game to play
The opening scene is important as they have to establish for the audience that the main characters aren't infected as we can see that they're not eating the bread, the pancake mix, the cookies, or the cake that Joel forgets to pick up and not coming in contact with yeast.
great show
Dude, the opening talk show was amazing. First person I have heard say they didn't like that. It was a great addition.
Life is Strange is another good game for you to play
as someone who played both games, i was stocked after the first episode. they really are staying true to the games where its important. super optimistic for the show
He was in terminator dark fate
wait 120 hours is alot? i only have like 2500+ hours into ark and i tought that was decent
Holden slowing making me want buy YouTube membership 😂
Edit: the reason no one had flour it’s cause yeah
Aslo the opening scene is super super super super important
Cause it explains everything about the
Virus
Joel is from Texas
Ellie is played by Bella Ramsey (Lady Lyanna Mormont from Game of Thrones).
