Im not a gamer, knew nothing about the show, usually have zero interest in Zombie shows. This, for me, was one of the best shows of the last decade. Looking forward to seeing what you make of it as we go forward.
Trust me it gets even better. The second game is a genuine masterpiece across all media, if they do it even half the justice it deserves (and it is being made into the next two seasons of the show it’s that vast of a story to tell), it’ll be one for the ages. So happy seeing this fantastic story reach new audiences.
@@DavidHunteri promise the game was also much better in terms of story telling and world building, this is a great show and so many details that they got right, but so many that they have just completely omitted and had chances to expand upon and kinda didnt. They strayed too far from source material.
This show is absolutely one of the greatest shows out there. But it is also hands down the best TV adaptation of a game that has ever been made, and the way they set all of this up with this 3-minute intro with John Hannah is an absolute masterpiece in and of itself.
This is a great adaptation because the game story was absolutely great to begin with and they changed very little in the show. A+.
after watching a bunch of reactions to this show, ive found that my fav reactions to it are the ones where ppl usually hate either zombies or post-apocalypse stuff in general and end up loving it 😭!!
There are not enough hugs in the world for this dam show
🤗🤗🤗
"I live in Seattle."
Well, you'll be happy to know the second game takes place mostly in Seattle! :)
Yay??? 🥺
I also am not usually someone who likes scary apocalyptic stuff, but im so glad i watched this show. It’s incredible. And it introduced me to pedro pascal, who am now in love with.
"Ki'm, you don't have a fucking ear on your fucking head" - funniest line in the show.
"I want to go to an island ...maybe six people ..."
... sure, ask Gilligan about that 🤣
This show has some pretty tight writing. Very good!
Oh, and the acting is pretty amazing across the board as well
The prologue for this episode was amazing. Even if you don't watch the rest of the show, that scene alone is worth watching.
This is a great show! I typically hate zombie/parasite themed stories, they freak me out on an entirely different level, but the last of us games and shows were both worth gutting through. I think at the least you'll have a good appreciation for what they've accomplished here, and I hope you cone to enjoy it!
This story, this cast, these characters are so great! Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey have amazing chemistry--all of those Emmy nominations are so deserved! ❤❤❤
Joel’s watch is broken from when the soldier shot at him and Sarah. It’s a constant reminder of what he’s lost-his watch, and life was shattered that day. 💔
The moment Joel was brought back to losing Sarah and lunged to save Ellie…you can already see that love there. Can’t wait to experience this show with you!
The premise of Cordyceps infecting humans actually inspired two different minds to make stories
The Book _The Girl With All The Gifts_ came out at the same time as the game _The Last of Us_
The Last of Us would have been first since it took years to make a game while writing was a shorter timeline but since the Game was made in secret the author couldn't have known about it when he started the book.
I'm excited for you to be watching this but hooo boy you definitely are going to have fingernail marks on your temples for the whole run of this show.
I'm so excited to join you with this series ❤️ I hope you enjoy it! Cannot wait for episode 2
When/if you go back to the opening scene in Boston, there is a poster on the wall about how the infection is spread and the timeline of how long it takes for the infection to spread in the body where the infected person is no longer in control. The good news is that the Cordyceps fungus only mutated to infect humans.
Id be devastated if it affected animals too. Thank GODS it only infects humans 😅
Where most people miss the story is that the apocalypses has come and gone. Its over and for humans this is "The Last of Us". The big story is about what happens when 80% of humanity is gone and the collapse of the rest of humanity is just a matter of time. Inside of that narrative you have the story of Joel and Ellie. The TV show does a good job of adapting the game story without doing a scene by scene copy. The big story moments are in both the game and the show and the same questions are still there about what is happening to humanity. What choices you make is how the game progresses. The story creator is very open with how and why he created this story the way he does. The story has been made with the Israeli-Arab conflict in mind and questions Neil Druckmann had for his father with various situation that came up and how you make choices and the cost of those choices in light of so much opposition. Craig Mazin really did take that story and made it suitable for a viewing audience.
That opening interview is one of my favourite scenes it was absolutely bang on in terms of setting up a plausible scenario and it's super disconcerting it followed almost exactly to what happened currently lol it was a superb bit of writing for the live action show.. it wasn't written in the game narrative spooky coincidence lol but based in science and that's very thoughtful to me.
It’s never too late to watch a great show!
I am the same way about hurting kids or animals so, I know exactly how you feel and that's why I was apprehensive about watching this series also. My son is gamer and he talked me into watching the whole thing cause I wasn't going to (because of the beginning) & he said, "mom...you'll love it, trust me." He was right. There are some smaller story lines in this show that are absolutely beautiful and I am into it now. Looking forward to the next season
"I don't like when a child is harmed or endangered in any way". Everyone who know the whole story: "Oh, dear"
I knew nothing about the game either and watched the entire series in a day then watched a couple favorite reactors .. some had played the game and some had not.. even watched a youtubers walkthrough of the game to compare the game to show myself.. great visuals and like that some of the lines are right from the game
Very excited you jumped into this world. The story & performances are worth your time 👍👍
As a game fan and fan of your channel, I’m so excited for this!!!! Definitely stock up on tissues Anna
"Who is having babies in the apocalypse?" people having sex (with, I imagine, varying levels of consent, since it's all gone to shit)
That’s hilarious that u knew so quickly sarah was gonna die lol….i was shocked. we spent so much time with her that I expected her to be in the show awhile.
Welcome to TLoU Family. All your questions will be answered, some I can do not that does not spoil. You can Enter a QZ but you will be Tested. You can leave a QZ but someone must Authorize it, presumably to communicate with other QZs or gather supplies. So Buckle up Buttercup the ride is going to get real.
Ooh, really looking forward to these reactions. I think I'm gonna have to watch on youtube rather than on patreon just due to time constraints, but I'm sure this is still gonna be great. Understand your reservations on this one, but I also think you're really going to like it. There's some really great storytelling here.
"I hate the way it makes me feel but I appreciate how well it's done" - yes that does make total sense. I can't say how your feelings will go, because there is a lot of realistic darkness to come, but also beauty and character growth and genuine emotion. I hope you do stick with it.
One idea as to why babies are being made ... if there is no one to make birth control or condoms ... and people are still having sex cuz most other fun things are gone ... babies
or maybe the continuation of the human race? not having children is the dumbest thing i have heard from multiple reactions of this show, so the idea here is humans should just die out completely and not even try to continue?
@@overfiend1978 💯 as a group that is the big motivation.
Art is supposed to make you feel things. It’s all right.
I'm so happy you're doing TLOU. I was hoping you'd give your unique view on it. The next 8 episodes are amazing and I can hardly wait to see your reactions Anna.
During and after an apocalypse is when people should be having children the most!.. how is the species supposed to recover if there's no replacements born? Right?
You think the show is good, playing the game is the ideal way to experience the story.. being immersed in the world, controlling the characters, their progress across the country dependent on your efforts, is on a whole other level.. ..
Yeah i agree. I get maybe not getting pregnant at the very start of an apocalypse, but once things (settle) youd have to rebuild the best you can...cant do that if we exterminate ourselves 😂
The fog wasn't infected. He knew something wasn't right with grandma and later he was scared
I don't want to give away any spoilers. And most of your questions will be answered later in the show. 😊
You asked about Sarah's mom.
They don't mention it in the show, but all that is known is that Sarah's mom left when she was still a baby, leaving Joel to raise their daughter as a single dad.
FYI Not only is the planet getting warmer, but we're getting colder. The average human temperature has been declining for years. I guess we're meeting the fungi in the middle?
It's not so much that we're getting colder. It's that infections are becoming less prevalent. Higher body temperature kills off microbes, but with better medicine and nutrition, our bodies are in a more natural, low stress state. The higher body temps were a defensive response, and were recorded at a time when infectious diseases were more prevalent.
It was not in the dog. The dog just sensed something was wrong with grandma.
I am so sorry I am just seeing this video. You will have your finger in position for the entire series…sorry about that.😢
For each episode I will send unlimited hugs to you Anna. This is a rough one; a great series but rough on the emotions.
lmao @ you thinking the dog was infected and not just scared
Great reaction! You got a new subscriber, looking forward to watching your reaction the rest of the series!
"The Expanse" of zombie horror.
Strap in Anna! This gonna be quite the ride!
What music is that during your post-reaction review?
It reminds me of the title track to the horror movie The Hitcher (1986).
czcams.com/video/Mz5pNHxEKXo/video.htmlsi=Z9qTMTzgIb8bFBVY
It's something from the Filmora presets. Either Nightfall Hymn or Golet's -Slaves
after this first episode and the second you will know the object of the video game. its very story based
And dont worry, the show gets less scary….i found the first episode the scariest.
"whos having babies?!"
how well do you trust 20 year old condoms?
If you want a completely different take on a post apocalyptic world, try Station Eleven
It's like a hopeful end of the world story....
yes I love this show! excited for these!!
Wow 16:00 what the h ell are you thinking ??? haha
It is kinda cool when people have to reexamine their preconceptions about gaming. Truth is Naughty Dog would be incredible storytellers whether they were game devs or ice sculptors or anything else. And if you can't make a good adaptation out of narrative landmark like The Last of Us when they've done half the work for you, just give up.
“Who is having babies in the apocalypse?” Soooooo …… you would want humanity to go extinct just because things got medieval?
Its so primitive... its no reaction here... But she is trying!!! Respect this
I am at 4:44 right now, promise you, you wont be laughing, you will be crying ;)
Im gonna need at least one comment in a future reaction on how hot pedro is 😆. Btw, i would never guess marlene is an older sarah bc sarah would be 33. Marlene looks at least 40.
you'll love it you should play the game
I love this show so much that I sub to you chanel to see it for the first time again true your eyes. 🙂 All you questions will be answerd along the journey (most of them) about having baby... their is no real medical service in this society, no real contraception and abortion is surely an option but might be tricky to find the good personne and being sure they are not infected ... human will always be human, and baby will come, no mather what...
haven't seen any author react to this show yet lmao. Just keep tissue handy 🤐
yeah, i loved this show.. it was amazing to watch, but i dont think i could handle watching it again... That first bit before the apoc with the shooting - that broke me as a dad. I had to stop watching until the next day..
7:32 Oh FFS..the dog GETS IT/SAW IT TOO(..more a cat lady, you are?)
Hoo-boy. :)
DOG
I wanted to hang but I saw literal faces peeled off of living people when i was twelve (im 31 now) I can't abide the panic over "oh no, something spooky MIGHT happen"
please be better
Since when did watching a TV show become a pissing contest?
@@Cloudy_Berry79 Not a contest just a "hey, grow up and see the world for fuck sake" moment. Literally saw videos of a dozen mutilated children THIS WEEK from ongoing genocide and someone reacting like a child over a tv show is absolutely infuriating when I'm sure shes fine with the reality of where her tax dollars go.
@@tadcooper9733 then go watch someone else. Everyone else's experience in this world is different. No need to bring others down because they're empaths or react more sensitively to media. In fact, that says a whole lot more about you.
I think you might genuinely want to reconsider reacting to this. It stacks grim on grim and then seasons it with a bit of... grim. It's kind of a one-note symphony.
Spoiler. The game and the show suck. So overrated.
Spoiler: you are in the minority on your opinion, so I suspect you should revise your statement to something like 'this game and show weren't for me'
@@Hapsard Generic zombie story. Narrow maps, should be open world. Its an interactive movie. 75% cut scenes.
Well, that, just, like, your opinion, man.
@@Dmitriy.0 No its a fact. 5 hours of cut scenes. Very little freedom of movement. Interactive movie.
You’re sad.
