26:00 actually one of the scariest parts of the infected in the last of us is that they’re still alive, they know that they’re infected but can’t control themselves. In the game you can actually see some of them crying or gagging while they’re eating someone
i think that's just in the first one or two stages of infection because they're not fully taken over yet, but (cmiiw) by the time they're clickers with the fungus growing out of their heads like that they're pretty much just bodies being puppeted around by the fungus. still, super creepy and sad.
@@nebullaeyeah it really depends how you look at it, you could say late stage infections are still alive just changed to a point that is unrecognisable as human but you can also say they die around stalker time and the fungus takes control, but I don’t think it’s ever been made clear we just know they stop being able to resist behaviour towards the end of runner stage based on the dialogue in the game
The most tragic thing about this version of “zombie” is that these people are very much still alive. Zombies are reanimated dead so over time, they decompose (ie. The Walking Dead Walkers). Here, it’s like a living drug inside you. You’d be alive but have no idea why you’re doing the things you’re doing while also having things grow out of you. So they’re people “infected” with fungus thus calling them Infected rather than Zombie
The infected aren't dead, this was described in the first episode. The cordyceps takes over the minds of their victims and then keeps them alive by preventing decomposition in order to continue to spread the fungus. It's definitely not like a typical zombie plague where the dead are being reanimated. The level 1 infected, the ones we see the most running around after people, are called Runners. The level 2 infected are the Clickers that we saw in this episode. Those are the ones that have potentially been walking around for 20 years now. They are blind due to the heavy fungal growth on their heads so they use a form of echolocation (the clicking) in order to listen for their victims, hence the need to be absolutely silent when they're around. The general name for all of them are the "infected". The term zombie is never used.
Ease up the salt. Girl's never played the game, how would she know?
I wasn't being salty. I enjoyed her reaction specifically because she hasn't played the game. I was just answering questions and responding to what she said. That's why I was explaining the infected, because she wouldn't know lol.
Stage 2 is a stalker
I stand corrected
@@Attelocin217 the show literally explains how the fungus works in the 1st 5 min of the show. The 1968 interview. You don't have to play the game to understand that (it wasn't even in the game this explanation lol) you just need a working set of eyes and ears and the ability to process information.
The zombies are called the infected in the game. There are a bunch of different categories with different abilities and what category the are is determined by how long they've been infected. The grandma at the beginning was a runner which is the first stage where they're super fast. A clicker is the one we saw in the museum where their eyes no longer function and they see with echolocation which is what the clicking sound is. I won't describe any of the others in case that can be viewed as a spoiler but those are the ones we've seen so far
She already saw the stalker that gave tess a kiss lol
The kiss = Tess was infected but resisting, and the cordyceps hive mind was likely 'aware' of that. So while the majority of the horde ignored her as 'one of 'us' as they barrelled through, the network sent her "stumbly suitor" to remove the threat she presented by accelerating the process of infection. Her freezing was because she was fighting HARD to light that lighter in time - and it worked, because she dropped it before he turned her completely. There's a reason they had Tess make a point about the infected all being connected and how big the network can get earlier in the episode...
okay so explaining the names. there’s different names for different “zombies” depending on how long they’ve been infected & how much the fungas has grown.
runners are the recently infected but haven’t had much fungal growth. (stage 1 i guess)
stalker’s are the ones who have more growth from their heads but can still see (the one who kissed tess)
clickers are the ones who has growth to the point they can’t see so they click so they can use echolocation to know where things are (think of the mummy zombie things from moon knight it’s the same concept)
there’s more but they haven’t talked about or shown those yet so that’s it for now. :)
The opening theme is the main theme from the game. Gustavo Santollala (I might have misspelled that) Is the composer who worked on the game and he worked on the show as well. There's definitely some new music but the opening titles are pretty much from the game
They're not zombies.. those people are still alive in there, manipulated by the fungus puppeteering their bodies.
3rd & 4th stage might as well call them zombies
Great reaction as always!
Just to be clear, the infection is not a virus. It’s a fungus. (Just saying since you referred to it as s virus several times.). The difference is important which is why they tried to explain it in the opening scene.
Looking forward to the rest!
yep and it's not a parasite, either! fungi, virus, and parasite are three different things. she was right about it being the fungus that grows out of ants heads (cordyceps) so essentially it's the same thing, but they've adapted to human temperatures due to global warming so that's why they're able to infect human bodies as well.
^^
technically i guess you *could* call cordyceps a type of ‘parasitic fungus’ ?
it is sort of similar when you think about how they both feed off their host... but the fungus is definitely scarier, since it can alter the brain rather than just destroying it (like if a parasite were to feast on the brain, instead of having control over it like the fungus does). it’s such an awesome concept, definitely a big part of why the game had such a strong impression on me all those years ago! I was the same age as Ellie’s character when the game came out and I played for the first time, it was my dad who introduced me to it. He’s since passed away, almost two years ago now, and it hurts not being able to discuss this show with him, I just wish we could watch it together 💔
But I’m so glad people get to experience this for the first time, and non gamers will be introduced to the incredible world of TLOU 🥰
in the beginning they talk about how fungus will adapt if the climate becomes hotter, so the origin of the zombie virus is basically climate change, the earth got hotter because of global warming and the fungus adapted to be able to do to humans what the guy at the beginning said that the fungus did to ants
And the fact that it happens in Southeast Asia too made me go "well, damn, we got clapped real quick"
I love fiction *sweats nervously*
On top of that, 2003 (the year this shows outbreak began) was the hottest year in 500 years
Infected notes:
Stage 1: runners; infected are still semi-conscious of their actions, but cannot control their bodies.
Stage 2: stalker; infected are still semi-conscious of the actions, but I'm more primitive in their ways, they usually use hit-and-run tactics and ambitious, these infected have fungus growing out of half their skull.
Stage 3: clickers; blind infected will split open skulls, and disk shaped mushroom heads, they use echolocation. they have lost all of their humanity.
Stage 4: yet to be seen....
'Well shit' excellent summary. They have taken liberties and branches away from how some things happen in the game, but not too far from the game so themes remain the same. Great reaction.
"They were told to stay inside. Why are there so many people running around outside?" - Monica, who lived in the UK in 2020's lockdowns.
Ahem. 😂 People do not follow instructions. (That said, in this case I think running might have been best).
it was passing on it's fungus to go inside her mouth. That's what the grandma was doing at the start.
Clickers are only one kind of zombie there is other ones with different names you would know their names later if they appear in this season
I've played the game. I liked the video and your outro change as well, lol. The cool and refreshing thing about the show is that they're changing enough details to keep it interesting, but still staying really faithful where it matters (in my opinion).
What I think is also pretty cool is that the actress, Merle Dandridge, who plays Marlene in the show also voiced Marlene in the game.
Merle *Played Marlene, we have to make sure we're giving the OG cast due and crediting their performances accordingly as it wasn't just voice acted but mocapped :))
im so happy youre reacting to this show
10/10
Blown away by good this is!
I was blown away by how much I enjoyed The Last of Us. It's based off a video game of the same name. It follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Elle (Bella Ramsey) as they have to trek across the country as they try to survive killers and monsters after an outbreak has taken over the world. It's one of the best reviewed shows by both critics and fans alike, it currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I know it's early but I'm absolutely hooked. I hate that I have to wait a week between episodes as this is a perfect show to binge. If you're looking for a new show to get into then give this a try, you won't be disappointed. This is definitely going to be HBO's next big hit!
Bella Ramsey - The Worst Witch.. Fun and wholesome little show.
For the beginning scene of the second episode is the start of the infection a couple of days from the scene of the first episode.
Jakarta, Indonesia Contaminated flour, They are also one of the biggest distributors in the whole world. If you notice in the first episode Joel, Sarah and Tommy were all dodging flour base foods like they were Neo from the Matrix dodging bullets. That's why they didn't get infected. No Pancakes mix to make pancakes for breakfast, no Biscuits from the neighbor, no cookies for Sarah cause who like raisins more then Chocolate chip.. and Joel forgot to bring the cake home for his birthday.
I would've been infected cause i love bread way to much.. lol Thanks for the reaction.
love you monica, that kiss is perfect at the end
a fun fact about the infected, is that it’s unknown when they truly die. runners are definitely alive, in the game you can hear them crying, and resisting to attack you. but my guess is that they die at the clicker stage. makes it so much scarier! loved your video
They don't die until they are dead on the ground... but if you mean like the part of them that is human and has a human consciousness, sure.
@@BrendanBeckett yeah, i meant like when the consciousness dies and when the fungus fully takes over
@@maggie_ Yeah, though it's probably not a hard line there either. Just slowly go insane, slowly forget who you are, lose the things that make you human. There wouldn't be one single moment where it changes from one to the other.
Of course in the game there are distinct stages you might draw lines between, but in the show they seem to be doing a lot of inbetweens so highlight that it's just a gradual change.
I wish there was more blur between normal human and runner though, the game did that part better. In the show they just suddenly are growling monsters but in the game they looked like people infected with rabies while also having a bad acid trip. I had a morbid desire that in the show they would even still talk sometimes, even sound like their former self a bit, or yell people's names and stuff, that woulda been great.
Omg I was genuinely obsessed with the game and when I saw the show I loved it so so much, and seeing you reacting to it just made my day😍 I loved the video and your reactions are always the best 🥰🥰
Monica is just honestly an adorable reactor and I just love how she gets totally in sync with the show even with no knowledge of the game.. Jst amazing ❤️🤞✨
Haha I love your reactions. So good as always ❤️ The music is mostly the same but with a new twist on it. They brought in the same guy from the games. Also most of the original game developers are involved as well so I’d assume that’s why everything is so accurate. Such a great start and can’t wait for the rest of the season!
i just wanted to say that i loveeeeee ur channel!!!! ur def one of my fav reaction youtubers
Thank you so much!!
I haven't played the game, but a note on fungi:
Fungi DO occasionally infect humans, though usually only people with weakened immune systems. And we do have antifungal treatments (athlete's foot!)
But one big problem is that fungi are actually more closely related to us than viruses or bacteria, so it's difficult coming up with deep treatments that affect fungi but not the rest of you.
I imagine a real fungal outbreak is possible, just way less dramatic (and easier to quarantine (at least outside of the US (mutter)))
Yeah I almost got my foot amputated because I had a rare fungi infection in my foot, but good thing I went into surgery for them to drain & clean the fungi out, they had to cut open my foot, Omg I could have been patient 0 it was so scary lol
@@aigami7928 holy poop, glad it went better!!
In the game they’re also called infected. A clicker is just one type of infected. There are different stages of infected that they can develop into and one of the stages is clickers. I’m not gonna spoil too much cause the different stages are revealed in the story but runners are the infected when they first turn, they can see and hear you, they’re not as strong as the later stages, a clicker, what you see in the second episode in the museum, is a later stage, they can’t see you but they have strong hearing so that’s how they sense you. They’re very scary and hard to kill in the game and the show so they’re very feared. And they’re ugly too 😂😂
15:15 I know Bella from ‘The Worst Witch’ where she played the lead. It’s basically a low-budget Harry Potter rip-off, but it was very fun😂
whenever someone ask what else she has done that's the first thought that comes to mind. Nobody ever say it though.. Fun little show for sure.
The theme song is from the game
Ok, so let me help you out Queen...
So they are called infected not Zombies since this is not a virus & its more about Fungus/cordyceps based, also not Zombie cause the fungus is keeping the hosts alive.
Also there are different levels of mutations & that's where the different names come into play,
Leve 1=Runners
Level 2=Stalkers (1 that kisses Tess)
Level 3=Clickers (saw 2 in Museum)
Level 4=
Level 5=
Level 6=
We have seen 3 different types in the show so far, the other i wont say in case it might be a spoiler lol And we don't know if they will introduce any new ones on this show during this first season or season 2. :)
PS: loved you're reaction Queen lol
Your thumbnails lately are hilarious 😂
Just lots of screaming😭
I would understand why they wouldn’t give her a gun, since Marlene told them nothing about the girl. They’re assuming she has no training or experience since Ellie was told not to give info about herself away
Its fungus not virus not parasite. The Jakarte scene was before the outbreak go back to ep 1 and listen to the radio where Joel and Sarah were having their breakfast. And they are not “Zombies” they are called Infected
There are 4 different stages of infected, 1st stage called runner's, 2nd stage stalker, 3rd stage, clicker, 4th stage Bloader...you have already saw all 3 infected except for the bloader..
They're called infected because they're infected by the fungus. In the game there was an airborne element to it (with spores) but i guess they took it out because they didn't want to have the cast shoot in gas masks at times? As others have pointed out there are different types of infected and Clickers are one of them. I guess if word got out that Ellie somehow still hasn't turned it could not only put a target on her back for reasons you mentioned but also put one on your back if you're in her company, also you would think everyone wants a cure if possible but that's not necessarily the case
As for the show i really like it so far. There are some changes i loved - like getting more insight on Sarah's day etc. And there are some changes i'm a little bummed about - like how as much as i didn't hate the way Marlene and our group met up i still wish we got to see Joel and Tess chase Robert down and the subsequent scene where Tess just shoots him in cold blood; or even just the fact that they had Sarah wandering around outside during that final night. That's just a couple of exemples but overall i think it's a lot of fun
The show based on a video game ( lol) the zombie apocalypse or outbreak happened in the 2000’s and it continued 20 years later lol
Stage 1, Runners: This is the newly infected. So in episode one with the old lady, and the guy chasing them in the diner they are runners.
Stage 2, Stalkers: These are infected that have been around from a couple weeks to a year. They stalk and hide from prey until it’s the right moment to attack. Some of them latch on the wall to let the fungus fester and grow. (We see this in episode one.)
Stage 3, Clickers: We see this in episode two, they have fungus all over their heads. They use echolocation, they’re blind, stronger and faster cuz of the fungus etc. They’ve been infected for over one year.
Stage 4&5 yet to come.
( I haven’t played the game, but I’ve done a bit of research. If somethings wrong please correct me! :) )
32:34: I definitely think Joel loved Tess. He probably just never told her. That sucks.
😆😆😆 the comments about people running on the street /" I don't even have a tissue bitch." / Your screams are priceless/
Funniest reactor in the game right now
Damn Monica early upload. Have you seen Human resources yet? Big mouths spin off
Fungus not virus lol the opening covered it but them snacks might have distracted ya for a bit 😅lol
The people are very much alive but the fungi are in control of their body in the game you can sometimes hear them cry 26:08
also I would refer to the "zombies" her as Infected. the clickers are just a type of infected
The clickers we see in the museum are tougher to kill but have great hearing. That’s what years of infection will do to its victims.
Not zombies. Infected.
They are also zombies, just not undead ones
The story behind the infected is actually really interesting bc it’s actually based off of real scientific research in fungi. At the end of the episodes after the credits, they have the creator of the game and other involved explain a bit more about the episode we just seen so that could be something you could go back and watch as well
I always love your videos (btw you should watch reservation dogs)
I was upset when Sarah died in the 1st episode. I didn't play the game so i had zero idea that happened. So far the series is good. I think it's gonna get scarier, though. I'm not ready.
just so you know, the zombies technically aren't from a parasite, they're infected by a fungus
Monica they changed a few things from the game in the show so some stuff may be different ps your gonna go in a wolf rollercoaster
There are different stages of infected, and I’m pretty sure clicked is the third.
Nice screaming reaction. You made it through the first two episodes. I gagged a bit too when it went to kiss her. Made me wonder what they actually had in the actors' mouth when they filmed that scene. It looks grouse. It would be funny to see pics of them eating the stuff in outtakes. The show proves once again that some video games have really good storytelling to them. Others not so much. But it's kind of an original take on the whole zombie thing. And the end of the world thing. I don't know what they said in the game is the cause of the mutation in the infection. However, if it turns out to be the radiation from g5 or g6 cell phone towers. That might be to close to what some have suspected happened with covid. They scrubbed just about all the claims of the infections growing around where the G5 towers went up. Like they didn't want anyone to know how it spread so fast. One G5 tower is said to have at least a 25 mile range. Yet Manhattan which is a 4mile by 2mile island has 3 of them. How does that work out for those numbers? And NYC had some of the highest rates of Covid for a while. Now they don't even report the actual number anymore. Soon it will just be mixed in with the flu numbers. Which for those who don't know in the US the flu numbers every year also include SARS H1N1 and a couple of other things that were never cured. But magically disappeared. You have to dig deep here to find out what the actual numbers of something actually are if can at all. My computer might be red flagging right now talking about infections. Well until the next episode. This is the way.
Yes! He is from The Mummy! Your the only other person who has said something(and left it in the video)
You kidding? As someone who is well aware of John Hannah's filmography OUTSIDE of The Mummy, it's disturbed me that I've heard at least 20 different reactors where that's all the know him from!
@@jollyrayda Are you kidding? As someone who is well aware of singing OUTSIDE of just holding a "Supernote", it's distributed me that I had to hear that, I don't spend my day watching 20 different creators, calm down
This fungus actually exists
Welcome to the last of us❤ what a masterpiece same for the game it's a masterpiece too The TV show changes a bunch of stuff for people that never played the game but I love some of the changes they did for the TV show that is not in the game and you'll know what they are if you ever do choose to play the game😊
7:04 Yeah.. definitely one of the two.. yup
100%
I spent a few mins trying to find ur first episode reaction bc its not labelled and the thumbnail pic is from episode 2. Itd be helpful if u put what episode number ur watching in the title.
Btw…ur brave to wear make-up during this show 😅
They aren't zombies because they aren't dead, just got a really intense fungal infection.
Clickers is the term for the second stage of infection.
Stage One: Runners - incredibly fast, easiest to kill.
Stage Two: Clickers - blind and uses echolocation. Fungus has spread over the head, providing something of helmet, making them harder to kill.
The stages are indication of how long a person has been infected and living.
As Joel said, some don't live more than a few months. They might not even reach the clicker stage fully.
However, again, as Joel said in episode two, some have also been around for twenty years.
Those stages are spoiler territories.
It is cool to feel like you matter right
The kid was a mercy kill.
I know Bella from the worst witch!
fungus, not paracyte
The scary part is that the fungus is real and yes it does turn the ants into zombies 🥲
The thumbnail I cannot 😭😭 that was the worst scene I’ve ever seen I can’t believe they done her dirty like that 😫 it’s so funny to me that u were screaming at the clickers scene you would’ve been first one out if u was in there screaming like that 🤣🤣
guess you could say this show is gonna be your... katapusan
Badum tsss😂
So actual term is Infected
The beginning part was foreshadowed fungal virus. There’s a lot of Infecteds come in multiple stages:
Runners and Clickers are just the forms of it.
I love how well adjusted and adapted the show is! They chose so much proper bits to stay fateful to and the changes gave much more depth. This is how I expected game adaptations to be. Keep the core value and story while giving it more backbone and depth through additional scenes not in the game. Honor the game (and it’s fandom) while understanding and preparing the adaptation to new viewers.
So far the first 2 episodes have used proper “segments” of the game to bookend each episodic storyline.
The exclusion of spores was understandable but somewhat sad. It felt very necessary in the game to show how infected an area can be, but utterly unnecessary for a show to have a bunch of spore or dust be around 🤷🏽♂️😊
There's different types. Clickers is just one type of infection. I'm sure they'll show other types in future episodes.
They are not different "types" as in different strains of the fungus, they are just people who've been infected for longer :) It's more of a stage of progression!
Ur smart to realize she wont be around bc she’s not on poster…idk why I didnt get that. I thought she was gonna be around lol.
Ok so the zombies are not just called clickers. There are different types of the zombies and the one they fought in the second episode was a clicker. It can't hear so it makes sounds like a bat (ecolocation) to locate where people are at. The longer someone has been a zombie is what determines what stage of the infection they are. Freshly bitten people are know as runners. I think stage 2 is a stalker, and then there's the clicker, and then bloater and so on... sorry for the long comment😂
Wait for the bloaters this a awesome show true to the game also they put a little extra and made it better this is how you make a real action from a game right
They’re not zombies
They pretty much are
Where is Ep 1??
Did you watch the video?
@@jaydenjones1374 now i did😁. It were 2 in one.
Maybe after watching the show, you should play the game for the channel ❤
Haha. I personally don't think the show is better than the game. The game is in my opinion more impactful, somehow lol.
But the show has done a really really good job. It is the first show or movie to ever actually retell a story that was previously only experienced through gameplay before in a faithful sense.
I personally think the performances by the motion capture cast of the game are just better, as you said, more impactful. Troy and Ashley just understand Joel and Ellie. I think Bella is doing fine so far, but just don't buy Pedro as a hardened survivor, and with no disrespect to Anna Torv, I believe she was completely miscast as Tess. It's a shame, bc I think Nico (Sarah) and Merle (Marlene) killed it so far!
Sarah's death hit me harder in the show. Seeing real human play that made it waaaay more intense then a cgi character
In the TV they skip a few areas that were in the game like the tall building they went into in the game, I jus hope they don't skip the subway area that they went into after coming from the museum..
I only hope you are an aspiring actress and that some horror director sees you scream! Your fear expressions are highly entertaining, so I kind of hope you'll consider doing these episodes one at a time instead of in pairs or groups.
so not all the zombies are called clickers. clickers are just the ones that make the clicking noise using echolocation to see. altogether the zombies are called "infected" in canon. but i dont really care if you call them zombies or infected, whichever you prefer.
They're still alive though.. the fungus stops decomposing. They're simply mind controlled.
Not the 3rd or 4th stage you might as well say their dead
@@aigami7928 are they though? Feels more like they're alive and have no control of their bodies, but may still dream/think.
@@barelywatch9278 the reason I say they most likely dead is because they have no humanity left within them
@@aigami7928 same logic for serial killers as well :)
Dunno why, but for me it is more of a comedy. Not scary in the least. I can't forget it is just a movie and that its all fake. It is like spending half the time just trying to figure out how they did that. Continuity is great for the most part, but there are a few things they messed up on. oh well I look forward to watching anyways. Keep it up!
>new monica react
>realize shes going to be be stuffing her face in this series AGAIN
common misophonia L
Can you throw it back, Monica!
Please read to the end! No spoilers here
And that's why i don't watch trailers and this is not the first show i keep hearing people say "oh! she wasn't in the trailers" or stuff like that... and its all shows that i know the original material but it takes me out of the experience when i keep hearing over and over about the trailer from some one that says that they don't like spoilers... like... I hate spoilers and that's why even knowing the whole story I get thrown off my experience from stuff you people say in the reactions because they saw in the trailer and I'm here trying to experience the changes they make to the original and to get spoiled like that... not to mention it cheapens some reactions because "I didn't saw her in the trailers".
At this point I'm considering only watching reactions once a show or season is over to avoid getting spoiled... But even then does not fix the issue of being put off by some one figuring out stuff from watching the trailer and spoiling the reaction part of it with "I saw this coming because of the trailer"
I don't know... it suppose to be a reaction and not an "i figured something out just before it happened because of previous knowledge"
And I watch reaction from people who know the whole story like me and I get a better feeling from their reaction because it's their awe of "this is just like the game" or "wow! this is so different but in a good way" or "this change makes sense" of "this is such a good expansion on the original material" than hearing "I know this happens cuz i saw in the trailer"...
Sorry for the long post and is nothing against you in particular Its just that so many people are doing this for this show specifically that it got this reaction from me.
Definitely not better than the game. I think people are just very much hyped with recency bias and have forgotten how good the story is, and the performances of the original actors (cutscenes in the game were performed with motion capture suits, it is not just voice acted, that's how they make the Avatar movies!). I also think people are just very happy to be watching a video game adaptation that is actually good, video games are especially hard to adapt because part of the appeal and connection of a game is being directly in the shoes of the protagonist, and ofc your agency is removed when you're watching it on the screen with no controller :)) I'd say it's a win for proving game adaptations can be done well, but the games were acted so well in the first place it kind of feels pointless at the same time, so the appeal for me personally as a fan is seeing little details having more time to be fleshed out that you can't really fit into the run time of a game! Love your reactions as always though Monica, and nice to see both people who already adore the story and who are following it week by week :))
It’s a fungus, pay attention XD
you should do a reaction the maze runner series ! they are really good
I’ve seen them all!! I grew up watching those movies☺️ Dylan O’Brien was my lifeeeee
Goddamn your fake laugh!
even when im upset it makes me smirk.
Fake?🥲
*Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom" I heard this from someone* 💯,,,,,.......
They did Tess so dirty with that ending, in the game she went out guns blazing like a badass, and now she went out making out with an infected. That is unforgivable in my opinion.
Yeah she already didn't feel as grounded and strong as she's meant to be, not sure if this was Druckmann's "realistic" envisioning of a woman in her 40's in the "real world" or some bs like that but I sincerely hope not. Also Anna Torv by all accounts seems like a decent enough actress, this just role just wasn't meant for her. At least she's dead lol
@@sp0ngeb00b7 It would have been an easy fix too, just make her less love sick and for the ending just make her shoot the infected with the AK-47 they had right there and then go out 'I am legend' style with the nades as she runs into the remaining horde and blows up the building. That would have been so badass
@@HumanTypewriter Right, just a little embellishment on the scene they already had written. I always liked the mystery of Joel and Tess’ relationship in the game, the fact that we know they’ve basically been together since the outbreak but through all that time they’ve just remained in a sort of mutually beneficial partnership rather than official relationship, the flirtation and tension it created off the bat was fantastic. But with the weaker, older, more worn down angle to Tess in the show, abandoning that and making her profess her love without any character development just makes it feel like an entirely different character altogether, actual Tess would never have let an infected kiss her?! Felt like I was tripping balls watching that🤣🤣
Have you ever watched Fringe Monica? ....a series
The theme song is from the game
