Don't feel sorry for not having experience with the content you are watching, most of us who enjoys reactions are in fact looking for people who has no experience with it, so its actually a bonus :), love from Brazil!
There's a really subtle thing they threw in that I didn't notice until I thought about it. They were out of pancake mix, they declined the biscuits from the neighbors, she didn't eat any of the cookies due to the raisins, and Joel forgot the cake. All of them are seemingly disconnected, until you consider Jakarta. They mentioned problems in Jakarta, one of the worlds largest exporters of flour. If there was any avenue for fungus to spread quickly, it would be through tainted flour... which they avoided that day.
That classroom scene in the beginning where the light reflection kept going on sarah, and she looks up to the kid next to her. You can see the kids arm twitching sporadically, that kid was definitely infected!
Yeah I noticed that my first time watching, I always wondered if they attacked someone at the school and infected them too, it makes me sad knowing children were also bit :(
Oh by the way, the Cordyceps fungus is real and all of that actually happens! The host tries to spread the infection and if an infected ant is discovered by another ant in time, the healthy ant will sacrifice itself taking the infected away from the rest of group
The beginning part about fungus that takes over ants is actually a real thing and probably the most plausible way a zombie outbreak could occur in real life.
that’s why the prospect of this game is so much scarier than other zombie media! they researched a real way an infection could happen and then researched societal psychology while analyzing population antics during huge global events. it’s actually insane how much research went into this game!
I love seeing the reaction of people that haven’t played the game! It’s more authentic in that you can’t say “oh that was in the game” with every scene that happens.
Oh man I can’t wait to watch your reactions especially knowing y’all have not played the games at all. From my perspective as a long time and massive fan of the TLOU games, they absolutely nailed this 1st episode perfectly. The way they balanced new scenes that give you more context for what’s happening and what’s to come with straight out of the video game moments and dialogue was extremely well done. Also the performances as these characters I’ve known and loved for awhile now, were incredible. I mean each character felt exactly like they did in the game. I had very high expectations for this show and not only met them, it completely blew past them. I could not have asked for a better 1st episode honestly. I want the whole season right now man.
90% of VG adaptations SUCK. (And that's a conservative estimate IMO) There is always that precarious balance between respecting the source material so that you honor your existing fan base, yet also be able to cater to, pull in, and hook the non gamers/non fans. But TLOU....fuck. They NAILED IT. An amazing cast in Pascal and Ramsey, a legendary director, the lead writers of the source material, and a studio that doesn't know how to make a bad show. We got ourselves a masterpiece here! And damn good that we do, because TLOU is worthy of being immortalized in our culture.
The acting was PHENOMENAL!! I love how they dragged Sarahs storyline on a bit longer because it made us feel A LOT more connected to her which made her death 100000x harder to watch! But can we just say take a minute and talk about THE DOGS AMAZING ACTING!! Like at this part 6:20 the dog looks genuinely concerned!
Green light is usually a transformer going (the cylinder shaped thing on a power pole). When we have hurricanes, I like to sit outside and watch them all light up the sky.
I was so glad to find a reaction from people who knew so little! As someone who played the first game way back when it first came out in 2013, nothing surprised me bit it was cool seeing people who were surprised by things. Also the car scene seeming like a video game is fun because it's almost the exact camera angle that that scene has in the game itself
The praying mantis thing is exactly what it is, mutated just like John Hannah predicted in 1968. It's called cordyceps, and it is terrifying. I can't wait for new episodes, I heard that reviewers who have seen other episodes have said that Episode 3 may be the best single episode of TV they've seen. If it's that much better than this awesome episode, it should be mind-blowing.
Cordyceps are what Bridgette was talking about with the parasites and they are real. It is a genus of ascomycete fungi that includes about 600 species. Most Cordyceps species are endoparasitoids, parasitic mainly on insects and other arthropods; a few are parasitic on other fungi.
I will 100% be following your guys' reactions to this! as someone that has played the game a million times, I LOVE seeing fresh and new reactions like this.
me too! Also seeing these people watch it that haven’t played the game getting immediately interested in playing it after watching the show is so awesome.
Finally, a blind reaction! Subscribed to see how u guys enjoy the show. Also - Tommy is not a family friend, it's Joel's brother! And the light that Sarah was seeing was reflected off a classmate's wrist, the person's hand was twitching (early signs of infection) and the light kept bouncing onto her face.
I’m pretty jealous that you guys are going into this series completely clean. So far it is staying true to the amazing game but making it it’s own at the same time. I’m glad they’re doing it like that. I wouldn’t want it to be an exact copy. They’re choosing great parts to subtly change and the right parts to be the same. I love it so far.
You guys are one of my comfort channels. I always watch all your content, which I don’t do on most channels. I’ve been having some shitty days, but coming to watch you guys is like hanging out, eating snacks with friends. Thanks so much for being consistent. That’s an issue with a lot of RUclipsrs, not enough consistency, but you channel is fantastic.
This is a very interesting take on zombies, taking something that actually happens in nature, adding in climate change to make the fungus have to evolve to higher temperature resistance, having their goal be only to spread the fungus (themselves). I mean, we've all seen the nature show where that thing takes over the ants. Fireflies does keep making me think of _Firefly,_ though.
7:04 “I fear tragedy.” Words like these are the best out of reactors lmao I’m not even halfway in and you guys have made me laugh out loud like six times already 😂
The best adaptation of a video game ever made and we are still in the first episode, can’t imagine how good and brutal this will get if this is the start! Btw that info about the fungus in the start of the episode is true this a real fungus that infects zombified ants
If it creeped you out hearing about the Fungus at the beginning, look up of Cordyceps in Ants - it literally already exists IRL, it just can't affect humans. Shits scary a'f and really is what makes The Last of Us really hit as a horror game/show.
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite reaction channels. Rock on! Also, yeah, fungi scare me too. Will they taste good, kill me, cure infection, or cause wild hallucinations? Who knows!?
That game is the first one that ever punched me in the gut with the Sarah scene. I love the added details they gave. The game starts with the scene on the couch giving the watch so the show made it even more of a punch in the gut as they gave you even more attachment to Sarah. I think the wrench scene with the neighbor where he drops the wrench was a nod to the game as well as him getting his supplies out from under the floor (my take at least). The scene with them driving was perfectly done, that was so much like the game. I also believe that Marlene is played by the same person who played her in the game. Great reaction.
What I find super gnarly about the infected as opposed to undead zombies is that according to the in universe science, they are tripping balls heroically while the fungus drop kicks their aggression centers(of the brain). I think that's why so clumsy while raging out.
As someone who's played this game so many times that I can almost quote the whole thing word for word... It's really interesting and cool seeing this be someones introduction to the world of The Last of Us.
This reaction brought happiness to me, just seeing all the emotions y’all are going through and not even knowing anything about the game at all. I can definitely tell you most of us who played the game had the same emotions and reactions to the story
My husband played the game and I watched parts here and there. So when the show was announced, he was very excited. I was a little eh about it and wasn't expecting too much. We watched it and he was watching me the entire time because I was in awe of it. I reacted emotionally which is odd for me. I cried. Needless to say, we both enjoyed the show and I'm hooked now. Can't wait to see each and every episode.
I worked in a biscuit factory - after the 6th week, all the newbies had glutted on chocolate, so you'd get delighted hoots for Garibaldi biscuits warm off the line.
The fungi was in the food. in the beginning, they mention Jakarta, where most of the world's flour comes from. in the game, it was said the food was contaminated and that's why everyone got infected. Throughout the episode they don't have pancake mix, they refuse biscuits from the alders and Sarah doesn't eat the cookies and Joel forgets to get a cake all this saved from being the first infected.
Wow, it's actually extraordinary watching someone see it with fresh new eyes. I loved this so much. It's almost like I'm reliving the emotions through you. Stay strong and just as sweet 💗
Legit been looking around to see ppl who never got to play it. Its a beautiful, heart wrenching story that i feel everyone, not just gamers, need to experience. Glad yall are taking this journey seeing as how its looking to be an amazing show. Highly recommend yall play it too when it releases again in march!! 😊
i was specifically happy and expectant of people who haadn't played the game. a lot of the early posts are gamers so i'm very excited to watch along with you guys and see you experience all the great moments for the first time. that's the best part actually!
It wasn't Sarah who was infected, it was the boy in the schoolroom with the gold bracelet, he was twitching. This 'episode 1' is actually episodes 1 & 2 put together. The original episode 1 was to have ended with Joel tossing the dead boy into the fire. In the game you could also become infected by spores from infected who reached the end of the infection cycle and died... Like the fungus man on the wall. But in the TV show I believe there are no spores, so no need for gas masks which would have been bad for film. Instead we now have the fungal tendrils coming from the mouth of the 'runners' (the first stage of infection).
I'm actually more hyped for this reaction because of your lack of knowledge when it comes to the games lol it'll be super interesting seeing you play them after too. This is going to be a fun journey.
This was sooo good. Just so you know, the fungus they are talking about actually exists. If a zombie-like apocalypse were to actually happen, a fungus would be they way it would happen. Great reaction!
I don't play many video games, but I heard good things about the story so back when it came out I watched a play-through. This first episode is so good, it looks so much like the game, and even has some of the score.
The Last of Us has become the show Ive watched the most PURELY because I love to watch the reactions of people, like you two, who are not familiar with the games. The game itself is one of the vest story telling games ever and the show did it justice! Cant wait to watch the rest of your reactions to The Last of Us
I'm actually so happy you haven't played the game I've been actively trying to find someone who hasn't played the game watching the show because I wanted to see the reactions to Sarah without knowing what was gonna go down
Dude dont feel sorry at all! I played the game when it came out & love it but what I love about RUclips is I get to see people's reactions to the universe and story who haven't played the game or know anything about it!:) I love watching new people react to something I love.💕 excited to see your reactions !!
Episode 1 was originally supposed to be two shorter episodes but the HBO executives hated the ending of the original first episode of Joel throwing the kid's body in the fire, so the producers simply combined the first two episodes and made one long pilot episode. That's why there are 9 episodes this season instead of the originally planned 10 episodes...
Watching your reaction again as I can't watch Episode 3 till tonight, love 'that's a terrible door, being all open like that'😆 you guys are great, thanks for the videos!
I'm actually excited to see your reaction even more now that you haven't played the game. Totally down to watch a playthrough when the time comes as well.
Wanna know something that will keep you up at night? This already happened with varieties of the Candida Fungi. It evolved to survive in humans across the world simultaneously, spread in yeast, and most adults have it growing inside them already. Can alter the body so you skin and organ problems, usually mild though. Can alter the mind to make you crave carbs that it feeds on inside your gut. If you've taken antibiotics at any point as an adult, you almost definitely have the fungi in your body, as the antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your gut that keeps you safe. There are plenty of videos on how to fix the issues, mostly with diet and probiotics. If candida can evolve and affect so much of the human population, without most people even being aware, so can the others. We're gonna get it soon enough.
seeing one of my favorite stories of all time adapted in a way that gives justice to it is such an amazing feeling, excited for you both to experience the story for the first time!!
guys I end up here watching reactions, as a big fan of the game, is very refreshing to watch people who does not know the story and get so involved!! I will be looking for your reaction every week! Greetings from Argentina!
I don’t know if it’s just me but I actually love that you’re one of the few reactors who didn’t play or know much about the game. That’s makes it more interesting as a viewer.
MY FAVORITE thing about reactions from people who haven't played the game is go turn on the TV and watch the news. The video game opens to the TV channel and the news and the chaos. The player essentially wakes up that night, instead of the day back story. It's not needed because of the introduction in 1968, something we did not get in the game. I like both versions it's just something I find intresteresting
Glad you guyz started watching this. The opening of the game is so rad. It translated to the screen well. Can't wait to see your reactions to what's ahead.
Never apologize for not playing the game. One of the greatest joys of a WELL DONE VG adaptation like TLOU is getting to share what an amazing experience and story it is with non gamers. I invited my non gaming mother to watch it with me because I knew she loved Pedro from Narcos, and Bella from GoT. And she ended up LOVING the first episode and couldn't wait for more. Fun Fact: Dumb luck saved Joel and Sara from getting infected. He forgot to buy pancake mix. They refused the biscuits when the neighbor offered them. He forgot to bring home cake. What do all those things have in common? Flour. Remember the radio broadcast early on talking about serious problems in Jakarta? Guess who the largest global supplier of flour is? Jakarta. It was in the flour. *queue spooky music*
I love the fungus version of zombies, because yeah it's not just some fictional virus, it's something that already exists in the world, just fortunately not with humans so far.
That zoom in on the scream mask, you guys are hilarious. Kinda glad you're going in blind. Happy to go through this series with you. Strap in it's gonna be wild ride.

Yep. I've actually been searching out reactions from people who haven't played the game. It's more fun.

i agree! reactions of ppl who have no clue abt anything are much more fun to me

Seeing someone who's never played the game react to Sarah's death for the first time... just chills. Can't wait to see you guys playing the games
yeah is like a parasite that goes out of you and enters other body.
Oh by the way, the Cordyceps fungus is real and all of that actually happens! The host tries to spread the infection and if an infected ant is discovered by another ant in time, the healthy ant will sacrifice itself taking the infected away from the rest of group
the dogs acting was actually insane
Dog and the Old Lady deserve Oscars
@@lucianaromulus1408 the dog was better
@@Jflonsn yes but can't deny how well the old woman executes creep factor
@@lucianaromulus1408 definitely they were both doing a great job, but that dog man, hope someone told him that he is a real good boy.

The funny part is that this episode is the most calm one. After this it all breaks loose. Such a big world you’ll love it.

Fireflies does keep making me think of _Firefly,_ though.
This is a great episode! This is one hell of a way to introduce us to the main characters and how the virus changed their lives forever.

1 year late to the reaction but i gotta say i absolutely loved yall. nice editing btw🫡 can’t wait to finish the series
I know this video is old now but I honestly love that you guys haven’t played yet for this reaction! Everything is so much more surprising

As a fan of the first game, this is the kind of content I'm looking for: people who haven't played the game watching the show. Subscribed
22 minutes in to my first video of yours and I will most definitely be continuing the series. Really enjoying your commentary!
fun fact about Marlene: the actress that's playing her role is the same one who played the game version of Marlene... both in Part I and Part II
Im loving the reactions. It's refreshing seing ppl who have no clue what's gonna happen.
“Oh! That’s a bad door…all open and that!” That cracked me up!
Im such a big fan of yours and seeing you react to it omg I can’t get happier 😊

So many people don't realize that lol they just say it can't infect humans yet...
Great reaction. It's so much more fun to watch people who haven't played the game react to the show. You guys are hilarious too.
I love seeing raw reactions so you both not seeing it was perfect!
"It's really sad. It's a lot."
That might as well be the tagline for the games (and now show).
I love the first episode of the last of us looks good in in irl feel bad poor Sarah now Joel,Tess & Ellie head off into the city
I love that “Are you a Mushroom?” Would be a valid question in their world 🤣
Very excited for when you do play the game in March but truly excited to watch you react to this series!
Trust me we're so excited to see what folks who haven't played the game think. I'm so ready for this reaction series from someone who has NO idea.
Let's go! As somebody who's unable to watch it, thank you! I didn't even realise it was out already, super hyped for this series!

That's why there are 9 episodes this season instead of the originally planned 10 episodes...
Cordyceps really does take over some species. So it’s great to have a zombie that’s kind of rooted in reality
Bella is one of the most natural acting actresses i ve seen, she's amazing. Pedro is fantastic as always
The second Joel and Sarah had the gun pointed at them I felt like Mathew McConaughey in interstellar screaming
"NO! NO!! NOO!"
Watching your reaction again as I can't watch Episode 3 till tonight, love 'that's a terrible door, being all open like that'😆 you guys are great, thanks for the videos!
I'm actually excited to see your reaction even more now that you haven't played the game.
Totally down to watch a playthrough when the time comes as well.
Wanna know something that will keep you up at night? This already happened with varieties of the Candida Fungi. It evolved to survive in humans across the world simultaneously, spread in yeast, and most adults have it growing inside them already. Can alter the body so you skin and organ problems, usually mild though. Can alter the mind to make you crave carbs that it feeds on inside your gut. If you've taken antibiotics at any point as an adult, you almost definitely have the fungi in your body, as the antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your gut that keeps you safe. There are plenty of videos on how to fix the issues, mostly with diet and probiotics.
If candida can evolve and affect so much of the human population, without most people even being aware, so can the others. We're gonna get it soon enough.
seeing one of my favorite stories of all time adapted in a way that gives justice to it is such an amazing feeling, excited for you both to experience the story for the first time!!
Solid first episode, the introduction to Tess was a bit messy but I'll take it because I love Anna Torv.
guys I end up here watching reactions, as a big fan of the game, is very refreshing to watch people who does not know the story and get so involved!! I will be looking for your reaction every week! Greetings from Argentina!
I don’t know if it’s just me but I actually love that you’re one of the few reactors who didn’t play or know much about the game. That’s makes it more interesting as a viewer.
MY FAVORITE thing about reactions from people who haven't played the game is go turn on the TV and watch the news.
The video game opens to the TV channel and the news and the chaos. The player essentially wakes up that night, instead of the day back story.
It's not needed because of the introduction in 1968, something we did not get in the game. I like both versions it's just something I find intresteresting
My father taught me to put a sticker to cover up to the 3/4 mark on my gas gauge. That's MY empty.
Glad you guyz started watching this. The opening of the game is so rad. It translated to the screen well. Can't wait to see your reactions to what's ahead.
What is scary is recently on the news they were talking about fungus infection in the lungs do to spores in the soil that is hard to treat
Pedro Pascal was also recently in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and I 100% recommend it!
That fungus, cordyceps, actually exists and affects bugs.
"are you a mushroom?" i love your reactions u guys
YESSSSSSS i can't tell you how much i love the game and how amazing it is to see it on the screen, i'm sure you'll love it
Never apologize for not playing the game. One of the greatest joys of a WELL DONE VG adaptation like TLOU is getting to share what an amazing experience and story it is with non gamers.
I invited my non gaming mother to watch it with me because I knew she loved Pedro from Narcos, and Bella from GoT.
And she ended up LOVING the first episode and couldn't wait for more.
Fun Fact: Dumb luck saved Joel and Sara from getting infected.
He forgot to buy pancake mix.
They refused the biscuits when the neighbor offered them.
He forgot to bring home cake.
What do all those things have in common?
Flour.
Remember the radio broadcast early on talking about serious problems in Jakarta?
Guess who the largest global supplier of flour is? Jakarta.
It was in the flour. *queue spooky music*
Game of Thrones, and The Mandalorian, are the two shows that will get you to 100k subs with a quickness, for real.. love yall's reactions.
I love the fungus version of zombies, because yeah it's not just some fictional virus, it's something that already exists in the world, just fortunately not with humans so far.
That zoom in on the scream mask, you guys are hilarious. Kinda glad you're going in blind. Happy to go through this series with you. Strap in it's gonna be wild ride.
"Take a nap. Play with your knife." 🤣😂
Me and my buddies enjoyment comes from the reactions of his wife who never played the game. We are diehard fans but we love her reactions
