    I am a newbie to this story - never played the video game and knew next to nothing about it until I saw the trailer a couple months ago. My interest in the TLOU was much more due to learning that the show was from the same person who did Chernobyl, which was one of my favorite shows the year that came out.
    All that being said, it thrills me to see how much the fans who are responsible for the videogame being such a huge hit being quite happy with this adaptation. As much as I loved this pilot, I can only imagine how much more fans seem to be getting out of this. Adaptations are usually rough, so appreciation this “win” for fans of this story.

  • @calypso4882
    @calypso4882 Před rokem +14

    I think the contrast in how Ellie reacts to Joel killing the guard Vs how Sarah reacts to him killing the old lady is very deliberate. Ellie reacts positively because of the world she's grown up in and that she hasn't had anyone stand up for her like that. That's for the good and ill of the relationship and how it develops. They depend on each other and care for each other
    but that doesn't mean all the horrible and negative things that happen, that bring them closer together, arent toxic. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

  • @delight9311
    @delight9311 Před rokem +80

    The actress playing Sarah totally crushed that scene and so did Pascal. The whole story is dependent on the audience feeling Joel's pain in that moment, and nothing works moving forward without it. I was a little hesitant at first when I saw they aged Sarah up a bit, but they clearly chose someone who could carry that moment and she did it wonderfully!

    The cordyceps tentacles in the mouth are actually their replacement explanation of the spores, which do not exist in the show, as they would basically mean that humanity wouldn't have had any sort of chance of survival if that was the way of transmission. The initial infected is likely happening through the flour. They hint strongly at that with all the missed chances of eating pancakes (breakfast), biscuits (early morning offer from the neighbors), cookies (baking with Sarah at the neighbors), cakes (evening & next day promise), etc. So it is likely that it started similarly to an ergot infection of the grain, which they refer to at the beginning intro, that made its way into the global food production and from there into the human hosts.

    The boy who would be infected brought me a double flashback to The Walking Dead. Firstly, he looked like Lizzie and secondly, he reminded me of Sophia when she stepped out of the barn. I think the similar clothing and camera work caused that in me. I think that was intentional and a subliminal reference to the walking dead.

    I'm actually having no problem with the casting (I was hesitant about the casting originally, but all of that is gone). In fact, at times I'm having the opposite problem. Bella Ramsey is nailing the depiction of Ellie so well there are moments where I see and hear Ellie from the game. And every time I hear Gabriel Luna speak I swear I'm listening to Jeffrey Pierce's portrayal of Tommy from the game-their voices are so alike. It's not really a bad thing, but it does make me start thinking of the game rather than focusing on THIS-the HBO version of the show. Those issues will probably fade as the show goes on and I get used to these actors (who are all doing a fantastic job).

    That was a fantastic first episode, the character soo far are great! Everyything feels familiar, yet new and standalone enough to require attention. You're not looking for easter eggs in the backround and miss what's actually happening.
    I also really love how the main characters are the same, but different, I think that's what jaby meant by getting use to them. We known them so well and we see them here, but they're just a little different. For me that culminates in moments, when I see the Ellie from the game bursting out through Bella Ramsey, especially the moment when they got out of the QZ and she's like "wow, we're really out!". That was just perfect Ellie.
    I really like how they deepen what we saw in the games. It's just the first episode, but it really seems like they understood the difference between game and adaptation, that's so important to give us similar feelings in a different way.

    One small thing I would've preferred is if they had moved the opening credits like they did in the game. I liked the addition of the scientists predicting things (doubly so once I recognized doomsayer as Jonathan from the Mummy), but if they had done the 2000's part as a cold open and then put the opening credits and cgi spreading of the spore in the same place the game did, it would've been much more impactful, especially for new fans who haven't played the game. Doing it this way, the viewer doesn't have as much time to soak in what just happeend, which is even more disappointing after giving us more time to see Joel and Sarah before the event.

    The only two changes I wish they hadn’t made:
    Eliminating “But sir, there’s a little girl.” from the soldier’s lines.
    Not having Joel and Tess wear masks when they see the dead infected. I get that they want you to see their faces, but the gas masks would add so much tension, and make the cordyceps infection scarier by making it airborne.

    Holy Hell, this pilot episode of The Last of Us was picture-perfect.
    I was hooked from scene one where they basically explained the fungus infection/pandemic (also, how crazy is it that it's basically a parallel to what we've slightly been living in the last 3 years?).
    Also, as someone who finally played the original game during lockdown, I LOVED how damn near accurate everything was.
    The death of Sarah (f#ck off to the racist trolls who had a problem with Sarah being race-swapped in this episode), albeit familiar, was still just as painful as the game version. Props to Nico Parker and Pedro Pascal for their chemistry and the acting between them.
    What made the experience even more fulfilling was that my dad, who is a MASSIVE fan of Last of Us 1, loved the episode as well. Fun fact: Last of Us 1 is my dad's all-time favorite video game. He noticed every little detail watching the episode, which made me smile.
    I'm hooked, and I cannot wait for more.

    28 Days Later takes a lot from the novel, (a short read, I highly recommend checking it out,) John Wyndham’s The Day If the Triffids (1951.) So yes, those theme’s definitely appear even earlier than that, including in Richard Matheson’s novel I Am Legend (1954,) (best adaptation of the book would be The Last Man On Earth (1964) starring Vincent Price.) Humans being a primary threat in the, “post-apocalypse,” is a major theme in both books.
    *George A. Romero & Jack Russo pulled heavily from I Am Legend & the Vincent Price adaptation, The Last Man On Earth, for Night Of The Living Dead (1968,) and really inserting that theme into the bourgeoning genre centered around a new style of zombie.

    The was a really good starting episode. I didn't even realize that Tess was played by Anna Torv, but I knew she looked familiar to me. I haven't seen her in anything I normally watch since I first saw her in the show called "Fringe" with co-stars Joshua Jackson, Jasika Nicole, Lance Riddick, Blair Brown and John Noble. Jaby's right about game adaptions should be done as TV series, but I think that the series should be a setup for a movie after the first season. Movies should use the same cast from the TV show to tell and expand on certain big story events within the games and then as a tie in to the next season of the TV series. I'm surprised that The Walking Dead TV series didn't take advantage of this idea. There were a lot of stories in that comic adaptation that could've been connected through TV and movies. This show could even use the series to tie into The Last of Us 3 if they plan on making it once the series covers The Last of Us 2 game. Anyway, enjoyed the reaction and can't for the next one. 👍👍✌out.

      Because I wanted to mention it. Not everyone noticed it or has watched the show "Fringe". Also I don't know what reactors are in which shows especially if it was a small roll.
      There are actors that I'm a fan of now that I might've seen in something earlier and didn't even fully remember them at the time. Elizabeth Olsen was in the "Old Boy" remake, but I didn't really know her until she played Scarlett Witch in the MCU. I thought she was cute, but just didn't feel a need to commit her to memory.
      I comment not just for the reactors, but for anyone else that might read it. I don't really expect the reactors on a channel to even notice my comments let alone respond to them anyway.@@ChibiHoshiDragon

    This isn’t just the best video game adaptation ever made but it’s one of the best pilots to a tv show ever made!!! The very opening for this series was completely different from the original game yet it was so freaking perfect! It described how dangerous Cordyceps was EVEN BETTER than the game! And even the entire Outbreak Day flashback was somehow done better. I have played the game 7 times already and thought I could prepare myself for Sarah’s death, but nope, I was almost as broken as Joel.
