      @SternMann93 - not only that, especially during some of the scenes (leading to that specific one scene), where his approach was spot on. Kind of usual, military response at the end, of "Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast" (not applicable to every case!!).
      I love how the series ends in that first season , including some moments in that final episode. How Joel moved, his responses at the end, pure concentration, no matter what - because his goal was Ellie.
      Note:
      And I love some short scenes with his boots, those that have concentrated on his boots (from time to time). Just being slow. Slow steps. And you know what? It is the same in a real life. Whoever was advising to some of those scenes, was a military person, with a close quarters experience (which can be brutal, and in a way they always are). Those slow steps in boots (short scene) give it away. In the extreme cases, you go like that. Not like in the movies. Just slow. Take your time. Without any talking, explanations, as none of that matters. You just move slowly, and destroy everything that is between you and your target/goal/mission. Joel? Yeah... I would do the same.

    Druckmann (or Dr. Uckmann as you called him) has said that when they were making TLOU1 he wanted the scene of Ellie's mom giving birth in the game (to explain why Ellie is immune) but he couldn't figure out a way to fit it in - the game doesn't have any flashbacks, and it never cuts away to any other character's perspective except Joel and Ellie.
    For years after the first game the fans have speculated that Ellie's mom was bitten while she was pregnant, or while she was giving birth, and that's why Ellie is immune. I don't think Druckmann ever confirmed or denied it, but I like that he was able to definitely state it in this show.

    I love the way they did the hospital shootout scene here, couple things made it great, 1. You can see Joel has completely disassociated that entire time and 2. The music during the shooting was so somber not heroic and that made it perfect because its like the show was saying this isn't a heroic act we should be rooting for. Also the Ellies mom scenes was something Neil Druckman wanted to make a short film or comic or something like that when the first game came out but he couldn't get anyone to pick up so when Craig and Neil got together to do the show it was one of the first things Neil made sure they included.

    • @pohia
      @pohia Před 11 měsíci +3

      I agree! There are just a few instances where I think certain scenes in the show were even more impactful than they were in the game, and this is one of them. Obviously in the game you have to play through this part and the gameplay mechanics have their own limitations with what kind of artistic choices can be made, but playing through that final fight makes it seem kind of like the heroic thing to do: kill the bad guys who are shooting at you and save your daughter. In the show, the muffled audio definitely gives the impression that Joel is not even processing what’s happening, he’s just acting on instinct. The scene where he kills that man who is begging for his life makes you wonder if Joel is actually the good guy here. The whole time you as the viewer are super conscious of the fact that our protagonist just massacred an entire hospital full of fireflies- people that according to the story, were supposed to save the world. The cinematography really highlights the nuance of the entire situation and I love it.

      Totally agree with you about Joel being disassoiciated and it's not heroic music. It was such a surprising choice when I saw and heard that scene that I was like, "Omg, they got it so right!" It was so much more powerful this way and so much sadder. And it should have been.

      I think it is heroic, he's saving an innocent child from a lethal surgery performed on the orders of the woman who promised the child's mother to protect the child.
      The music was somber because even if what he's doing is heroic, it's still awful. If we shouldn't be rooting for him, then why spend all this time with him in the series?
      I see it as the muffled sound is for us, the specific sounds are not important the overall feeling is needed. The man begging for his life was just the other second firing at him, at least he didn't suffer for long. Good guy to whom? To the fireflies probably not, to Tommy, himself, Ellie don't know, I feel the concept of good is kind of moot in this series, no one is good. "A massacre is an event of killing people who are not engaged in hostilities or are defenseless." He fought back against people that defend their hostage/kidnap victim.
      Yeah I feel no sympathy for the Fireflies when they use the methods that they used. They fucked around and found out.

      Joel is clearly a horrible and beyond selfish human being. He has his own reasons and upbringing that explains his psychopathic behaviours, just like most of the characters in this world. But that in no way could justify his inhumane killings. I liked how it's framed and portrayed in the show because it hints very clearly towards the arcs that happen in Part 2. No one that grew up in this environment could become a good person, it's a tragic story.

That whole "it wasn't time that did it" had me bawling like a baby lol. I have thoroughly enjoyed the HBO series just as much as I did the game. I continue to look up other people's reactions to the HBO series, but yours by far is my favorite. I really loved how in the HBO series, they kept Joel's unique way of interacting with Ellie very close to how it was in the game. The fact that he slowly opened his heart and let her in and how in his own weird way, you could tell he loves her, but he doesn't come right out and say it. It was like Sarah was his whole reason for living and he lost that reason the day she died. The whole giraffe scene was great and it's just that moment where he says "it wasn't time that did it" that you could just tell that he sees her as a daughter and has a reason to live again. He realized he couldn't leave her several episodes before that, but still. I just loved the unique pieces in this HBO show that wasn't in the game. It just makes you love them even more. At least it does for me.

    "Viking" Denmark here. The reason why Marlene did not tell Ellie anything before surgery, is because in hope of a cure, they would have killed here no matter what she would have answered or agreed to, no matter how small a chance that it would have worked anyway, when you only have one shot at this, and not being able to make any tests, because Ellie would be the only test sample in any case. At the start of both episode 1 and 2, we are told by experts that finding a cure for this is impossible, and later we are told that they have failed many times before.
    In episode 2, when Ellie reveal to Joel and Tess that she is the secret for making a cure, Joel do not believe in it at all, because finding a cure has been promised and failed so many times before. So he is a non-believer, not so much in Ellie being immune (otherwise he would have shot her on the spot), but he do not really believe they are able to make a cure.
    With all that in mind, any sane parent would have done everything to save their child, exactly like Joel did. There would also be no reason to have any trust in the science of this broken a world, full of religious nuts and ruthless fanatics constantly fighting to control the QZ's. It's the lies at the end, and so leaving her no choice at all, that makes his decisions comparable to Marlene's.
    Btw, Marlene defeat her own argument of Joel not being able to keep Ellie alive and from being "ripped apart" by the infected in the future anyway, because if she really believed being immune is little to no guarantee, and do not really help Ellie from being killed, then what is the point of killing her in an attempt to make other people immune but equally in great risk of being killed by the already infected anyway.

    What a happy surprise. Thank you for posting the last three episodes so fast. What a ride ❤
    Fun Easter egg - one of the nurses in the operating room was Laura Bailey. The voice actor for Abby. The show runners said her since her cameo was hidden that she will most likely have a role in season two. Probably as a different character. At the time they weren’t sure that they would get a season two and they wanted to include her.

    Wow! It’s truly been a blessing to see you play through my favorite video game ever! I was 13 years old when I knew about this gem! So being 22 years old today and still discovering more people are witnessing this prize piece is EXTRAORDINARY to say the least! Some games that hopefully a lot of other people are saying as well would be Detroit Become Human (Your choices REALLY REALLY MATTER!) and Beyond Two Souls or Heavy Rain !! Which are both made by the same company if I’m not mistaken. God bless beautiful!!! Thank you again for sharing your light on us ❤️❤️❤️

    @Eralia - I found your channel right after you started playing TLOU1, and have waited many a week to see all of the content you put out for the games and the series. You emotional responses are amazing, showing how much heart you have and, i think, giving a glimpse of the beautiful soul that you have. That being said, im truely happy.i found your channel, and am getting ready to.start watching another game series from you. Thanks for the content, and being a great creator.

    - The Last of Us: One Night Live (1h)

    I love this show, and I love this episode, but I was kind of disappointed that they changed the "emotional climax" to be Joel shooting up the hospital, instead of Joel carrying Ellie out like he did with Sarah.

    I HIGHLY recommend you play the A Plague Tale games! They may be as close as we get to The Last of Us games!
    After that I highly recommend the Uncharted games and Red Dead Redemption games! You fall in love with and form a connection with the characters and the stories

    I played the game and watched the show right after each other as well, and I honestly prefer the show. It's just so much more heartfelt, thanks to the amazing acting. I also like that they established how Ellie got immune, and that Joel is actually a bad guy.

It has been a great pleasure to accompany you. I wish we have some more TLOU soon so you can get engaged to it again! And Ill be here to watch you! I got really attached to this story and Im sure Ill carry it on for the rest of my life. Lotta love to you! PS: Ill surelly watch you play other games also :)

  • @joeb918
    @joeb918 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I remain mostly on the side of Joel, in that I fear I would be selfish too…
    as for how Pedro performed, it’s cold, robotic, almost as if he’s on auto pilot, letting himself go into one last moment of doing what he must to protect the ones he loves… it’s like he’s adapted over all these years to be great at compartmentalising, I guess you’d have to survive, the people that survive the end of the world aren’t always the best people and likely wouldn’t be, because you have to sacrifice your humanity to be able to do what needs to be done to keep living… otherwise you simply don’t make it in this kind of world.

  • @Dark__Thoughts
    @Dark__Thoughts Před 11 měsíci

    Yep, Ellie birthing Ellie. It's so beautifully poetic that it got me pretty good too. Legit my favorite scene in the entire show, which also tells us not just how her immunity happened, but also that her knife and jacket are from her mom. It also adds quite a lot more weight to Marlene's decision at the end of the game. There's a couple interviews where she even gets emotional talking about the games & Ellie:
    Part 1: /watch?v=jiB_DzutSc4
    Part 2: (🏌 spoiler warning for those who didn't play / watch Part 2 yet): /watch?v=S4wWe0vBQqM (for context, Ashley lost her dad when she was 16, so what you got in the game were real emotions)
    And a bonus one for the show: /watch?v=dSaY4oNdcEM
    For me, both the game and the show both do things better than the other. Ultimately I think this is an amazing video game adaptation overall and I loved it a lot. The game will still be somewhat higher rated for me though. I think the pacing was a little too fast, likely due to them making each episode a chapter in the game. I also think there should've been more infected, and scenes like the dead kids in the RV or the sewers, because I feel the show did not quite deliver on how fucked the world actually is, which ultimately also kinda downplays the importance of a cure, which in turn makes the Fireflies look way worse and Joel much better in this last episode. But still, it was a good portrayal of the game in a TV format and I also think the actors all did their roles justice, even if they put their own spin on it and changed the writing on them a little. I would still recommend people to play the games, or at least watch a silent 100% playthrough for Part 1 & 2, just to get the full experience.

    • @Dark__Thoughts
      @Dark__Thoughts Před 11 měsíci

      Oh and Laura Bailey, who plays Abby in Part 2 and a few NPCs in Part 1, including one of the nurses, also plays one of the nurses here in this episode. Not sure if you recognized her voice.

      As did the Fireflies for betraying Ellie. Specially Marlene who even promised her mother to keep her safe, yeah cutting out her brain, that's safe. Still not going to like the team that killed Joel, no matter what they do. The ending to TLOU2 sucked, they built it up just to punch the air of out it, totally pulled me out of the story.

  • @DavidB-2268
    @DavidB-2268 Před 11 měsíci

    The entire premise that caused this is absurd on multiple levels:
    1. Why does the doctor jump straight to "kill the goose that lays the golden eggs"? Wouldn't an exploratory biopsy to test his theory make more sense?
    2. Even if the doctor's theory was correct (as improbable as that might be), there's no way to transport the cure internationally. And what if it requires ultra low temperatures to remain viable in transit? There's no infrastructure to allow for mass production or distribution.
    3. My understanding of the game (not a gamer myself) is that there's notes throughout the hospital that details the futility of prior attempts, as described by Joel in the show.
    4. Making an allowance for science differing from the game/show, since the game was released, it's been discovered that the brain is the one place that cordyceps doesn't grow. It isolates the brain from the body, which is frankly more horrifying.

    That said, I would love to see you play the Resident Evil franschise! You can start with the remake of the first one (it´s a bit old, but still awesome), and then, there´s the new versions of RE 2, RE 3 and RE 4 for the new generation consoles (and they´re pretty damn good)!
    Also, you can skip RE 5 and 6 because they will be realeased in remake formats in the near future, but you can play RE 7 and 8! Lot´s of content for your channel!
