Siccness for thiccness. Goodness
Watch out for golf clubs
FUNGUS*
I still remember the first time i played The Last of Us and after playing so much Resident Evil, thought i was ready for this game. I was so wrong and without spoiling it, completely destroyed within the first 15 minutes of the game.
All I want to know is if there will be giraffes.
Can’t freaking wait to watch this show, I love how it’s the story and characters we all know just retold in a new perspective also I love the fact that Troy and Ashley are in the show, having Troy as one of David’s henchmen is cool but the best out of the two for me is Ashley playing Anna Williams aka Ellie’s mom, having the original performer of Ellie birth her show counterpart is so poetically beautiful to me and I hope that the majority of fans give Pedro, Bella and Gabriel a chance at adapting these characters we all love
Locations are actually shot in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 saw the shut down streets all set dressed up in Edmonton
Not a virus, Dan. It's a fungus.
All I ask is that Joel move Ellie over some body of water with a pallet 😂
….I don't think that's a toy store….that looks like the school set up in Ish's lair…..if you know, you understand why I'm curled-up right now….
Dan, I dont know how you do it man; keeping tabs with all forms of new content with inside scoop with breakdowns, but you are owning it! 😎Love the videos and phenomenal work! Looking forward to the release of this show.
Great vid Dan.
Seeing Henry and Sam hug seriously makes me so emotional =(
It’s actually a Kansas license plate. They are using Kansas City as the location instead of Pittsburgh where they meet Henry and Sam. I’m from KC and they were here filming buildings and such not too long ago. The WY in the corner stands for Wyandotte County
The trailer looked… perfect, so i'm starting out optimistic. That said, I'm crossing everything crossable that they don't f*** it up.
Dammit they cast the wrong girl to play this role. Why didn't they pick Ellen Page, when you can clearly see, it was designed after her. 😂
Yo! I didn't even notice Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson in the three or four times I watched this trailer. I am hyped.
The part where Joel is leading Ellie and two brothers through a door in a room with painted walls (4:04 in this video) looks like it is from the sewer part of the game, where the families tried to start a community. And we know how that went …
Human kind last hope being gay is so so situationally ironic 😜 it's like life saying fuck humans specifically
Something small but ABSOLUTELY
TERRIFYING I’ll add based on the cordyceps FUNGUS (not virus) – the fungus doesn't penetrate the brain but grows around it, taking control of the victim's nervous system and muscles to influence bodily movement.
Know what that means? You are still alive and conscious but no longer in control of your body which, under the fungus's control, will hunt a normal human and kill and eat them or bite them to help spread itself. While you helplessly experience the act in your body.
As proof, replay the early moment in the game when Joel and Tess encounter their very first group of runners (stage 1 infection) in a dark room feasting on a freshly killed victim. If you listen closely, one of them, a female, is crying and saying,
"I…… I… don't…want to….”
they're gonna do the whole first game in one season?

What I really wish for this series is that they show how bad of a person Joel is. If they decide to make him 100% good i can confidentiality say that I'll hate the show.
I don’t think that castle painted door is the toy store hideout. It looks more like the entrance to Ish’s sewer hideout. Also, the clip of Ellie as Marlene discusses her purpose looks like the beginning of the Salt Lake City scene because of the RV in the background.
The castle on the wall seems to be Ish’s sewer home where the kids had a play area with an entrance like this
Thanks, Dan! 🧟♀ #Nerdist #DanCasey #TheLastOfUs
Here’s everything you didn’t know about the last of us see those main characters all of them either die or get the shit kicked out of them so bad they fail to even be a character Riley dies Tess dies Joel dies tommy takes a arrow to the knee and a shot to the head still somehow survives but is a shadow of himself same with Ellie she loses two fingers her father figure her girlfriend and baby ends up alone and loses her humanity on a revenge trip that ends up with her losing more people Jessie and so ya if you want to watch a depressing story where the characters get absolutely shitted on this is the show for you
We know that Troy and Ash are in this… but is Nolan going to show up?
This was a horrible breakdown. You missed key details, and misunderstood the context of some of the shots shown. Honestly, I should get paid to do this shit.
Joel best use that musket to beat the clicker’s face in
Check out our YouTube. We will be covering last of us comics. 🥳💜💜
Near the end of the trailer (Title Reveal) you hear a few notes of the Last of Us theme song
This show is gonna be cliquer bound
Why does it look like this is not his voice? Looks dubbed for some reason
There’s three very small details that I haven’t seen anyone comment on yet. One is that the title is in exactly the same font and style as the games. Two is the very small snippet of Gustavo Santaolalla’s theme plays over it. The third is the shot of Ellie sitting in the back of the truck is most likely in Bill’s town when they try to escape and have to push the truck to get it started whilst holding off Runners and Clickers. It’s the same colour truck. 🙂
From "what the hell are we doing tess?" to "If the somehow the Lord gave me a second chance at that moment….I would do it all over again"
real quick from you're a cargo to I ain't loosing another daughter this time👌
