Middle girl's strength in staying quiet and totally reactionless despite knowing everything, though.
She knows she can get it,
respectfully
@@SpeakerOfWords literally was that comment necessary? 😦
@@angxsty4524 We only live once and its the dark web, crazier and weirder shit go on and I'm speaking my truth. And.....i did say, respectfully
@@angxsty4524 I mean, he's not wrong (also respectfully).
@@SpeakerOfWords i mean, you could have just kept it to yourself, respectfully
48:15 in the game, I think there was a dog barking but couldn't be seen. And then all of a sudden you hear the dog yelp and then no more barking. Then Joel hurries into the living room rummaging for a weapon.
Sam asking how long flights are when she used to work for an airline is crazy 😂
No longer works for an airline?
Spiderman no way home
Im pretty sure it was a rhetorical question.
@@Vazcov1609Sam & Morgen used to be flight attendants until they had to stop during the quarantine and then started this channel and eventually quit cause this channel turned out to be successful
Dani's eyes when the soldier appears is pure gamer PTSD
The double "What?" from Sam & Morgan at 23:39 and Dani's tiny smirk says it all. Watching this moment & anticipating what's about to happen to Sara
I haven't played the game all these years and was going to wait for it's pc release but decided to watch the show anyway, unfortunately the Sara moment got spoiled by some random god damn gaming channel making a "TLOU Sara's death video game vs tv show comparison" video.... sad >:(
@@Mukatutu tbh I'm amazed you lasted like 10 years until getting spoiled. It happens like 10 mins into the game, all the good shit is still ahead ;)
@@Mukatutu its those algorithms man. They knw wht u been wanting to watch and starts feeding you everything related to it including spoilers
It’s implied through the episode the fungus spread through contaminating some batches of wheat or grain. Joel and Sarah didn’t eat pancakes, they didn’t have the cake, they refused the biscuits the neighbor offered them(which were eating!), and Sarah not taking any cookies. They just barely missed being part of the infected by not having anything that had to do with flour/wheat.
Oooooh, I totally missed that.
And the conflict in Jakarta; take a guess where the largest flour mill in the world is that provides a majority of the world with flour?
@@AlyssaK83 Springfield, Oklahoma?
@@Triattt ha, very funny.
The fungus spread was explained in episode 2. But they did explain how the old lady neighbour got infected when she got a checkup at the hospital in the city. The spread happened initially in the city. I'm assuming through trade and exports, what was exported from Jakarta (wheat and grain) had spread throughout the world. And when the first trigger (chemical reaction of the fungus) first started, a chain reaction began (as what was explained in episode 2 that Cordyceps acts like a neural network).
Cordecyps contaminating wheat and grain > manufactured into consumable goods like flour and rice > gets shipped through major global ports > first incident happening in Jakarta > 2 days later, infection spreads in the USA.
With Indonesia being so close to the equator (warmer temperature creates an opening for the fungi to thrive inside humans), and is an Asian country which predominantly consumes rice (grain), it then becomes the first trigger for the first infection to occur.
Fair play to the girl in the middle not spoiling anything. She will know it is one hell of an adventure.
This is my first time to watch that gamer reaction is not spoiler for that show. Great reaction.
10:28 "Don't eat the cookies, there's fungi on them"
Ironically, they actually did! Joel and Sarah not eating cookies or having any cake was what saved them from getting infected!
Or pancakes. They pretty much avoided any flour based products that day.
@23:41 Dani with the source knowledge smirk 🤣
Morgan and Sam's reaction for this show is peak entertainment.
Fun fact: Marlene's actress actually is the same one who did the mocap and voice work for the game. She is the only actress from the game to come back and do the show.
From what i have heard. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson will do cameos in later episodes.
@@magnuswendin7924 oh! That's right! They're playing Ellie's Parents
@@dune469 Well, Ashley is. Troy is playing James, one of David’s compatriots.
If I remember right, the people who did the clickers' sounds from the game did it for th show too. But I might be not remembering right and it's using the sounds from the game and not the bringing back the voice actors
@@TheJohhnyE I think they had fans of the game be the clickers.
The actor for that first Infected Runner had rent DUE at the end of the day 😂😂
Seeing Dani smile throughout the car sequence was wholesome and relatable, they recreated that scene so well. Really love this show, episode 2 is great too, looking forward to more reactions!
I felt like I could pick up the controller to move around and look at stuff. Really faithful yet cinematic!
Look at how fast Covid hit all those people, a few years ago, across the World. This pandemic aggressively looks to spread, by using the infected, and they’re fast. It wouldn’t take long to make enough people to cause this kind of panic
Poor Morgan and Sam, doesnt know what Dani signed them up for. Good shout Dani 😂
Marlene is played by the same actress that played her in the game.
Amazing actress
@@SashaVibez Meh, she is OKAY
@@wooshbait36 😜
@@SashaVibez Black people can't really act that well ❤️🩹
@@wooshbait36 we got a comedian over here
That's a big part of why this story hits so hard, The fungus they're talking about is real, and this is what it does to it's hosts. and it's theoretically possible that this could happen. and the characters and dialogue are so well written.
Theoretically possible in 100000s of years haha. Never in our lifetime and to say global warming could cause this is laughable. We are in one of the cooler periods of Earths history. Mammals have been around for 200 million years, there is evidence of zombified ants from 50 million years ago. The earth was MUCH warmer then. 0 evidence of mammals getting infected or controlled in that whole timeframe.
It can control ants not humans
I'm surprised that Sam recognized Pedro Pascal from Narcos and none of you mentioned Game of Thrones because Bella Ramsey(Ellie) portrayed Lyanna Mormont in GoT. This show reminds me that a zombie fungus apocalypse movie from 2016 that seems like it's in the same universe as The Last of Us called, "The Girl with All the Gifts". That was definitely an 80's song at the end of the episode.
Pedro and Bella can bond over being in GOT and getting killed by giants.
I'm glad you guys are jumping on the bandwagon for this one! TLOU is my favourite game ever, and it's great to see a new audience experiencing the story. Enjoy the journey!
Much love from
Another tlou fan.
Can’t wait to see how they adapt part II.
@@SashaVibez They better change the story for tlou 2 in the second season if they do one or else….. yeah 😬
@@jacobgonzalez2002 I'm glad that they aren't.
24:54 Poor Morgan her face looks so sad and her little “I hate this show”😅😭
In the game the main transmission method were bites and spores. The spores have been removed for the show though, as they would basically mean that humanity had 0 chance of survival. Instead they added the little mouth tendrils to spread the infection. As for the initial infection it is, with the knowledge of this episode, likely flour originating from Jakarta. They had a lot of chances to eat flour based products, such as the morning pancakes, the biscuits from the neighbors, the raisin cookies from the neighbors, and the birthday cake in the evening. Second episode is out already and will answer some of the questions. :)
They removed the spores because it would be hard to shoot certain scenes in a show with gas masks on. The spores make no real difference in survivability compared to the game. They had gas masks for the spores. The issue stems from recreating those scenes, which is realistically difficult and less impactful due to the mechanics and trouble behind doing so in a way that makes it comfortable for the actors and enjoyable for the audience. It just wasn't practical.
I remember playing the game back in 2013 and the part where Sarah dies sucker punched my feels, I had to pause for a while to compose myself. The first video game to make me shed a tear, and the way they have adopted it into this series is just marvelous, they have completely nailed it.
The song at the end is Never Let Me Down Again by Depeche Mode. Very much an 80’s banger!
“I’m taking a ride with my best friend…” definitely a reference to Joel and Ellie’s travels.
10/10
One of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen.
The pilot episode is one of the best pilots I've ever seen even surpassing that of the Walking Dead. The introduction gave clarity and showed the individual struggles people had to cope with. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they build the characters and how they develop the relationships and attempt to match that of the game.
Zombie TV shows and films have been done millions of times before and often lack creativity but this so far has a breath of fresh air and if like the games concentrates on human emotion and connection then I think it'll do incredibly well and I can't wait to watch the rest of the series.
Joel's daughter put on an amazing performance she made you fall in love with her in 10 minutes of screen time.
Fun casting fact: Pedro and Bella were both told not to play the games to prepare for their role as Joel and Ellie, probably so that they don't try to flat out copy the way the game characters say everything even though it seems about half the script is the same exact words as the games.
The creatures in this show are horrifying. And to think it's just the first episode. I have a feeling it's going to get much grimmer.
Also, that plaque looks very very fresh.
Well Morgan's gonna hate the second episode by the looks of it😂
Calling it now, Morgan is going to have the GOAT reaction to this show, she’s going to be the star of all the compilation videos that’ll come out over the years 😂.
Also great job by Dani for now spoiling a thing. Most reactions I’ve seen with gamers have the gamers sniggering or whooping out, as if that doesn’t give stuff away.
Who df is Morgan
💯%
the story telling of this show will blow their minds
The soldier was ordered to kill Joel and Sarah because there was a chance they could've been infected even though they weren't. That soldier's CO wasn't going to take any chances.
Plus it doesn’t help she got an injury while being chased by a zombie
Yup, no way for them to just test for it back then, and anybody could lie about how they got their injuries.
They were both bloody as well…
Easily a 10/10 show
no
@@Productive_Chad Yes. So far at least.
@@Productive_Chad Yup!
@@Productive_Chad it was a pretty good adaptation changed some stuff but didn’t change to much to where it’s faithful lol to the source material
@@snowy_45 They changed Sarah for no reason and if you say that dosent matter then why change it in the first place. Ellie is misscast and Tess is not close to the game. And joel is not close to how he is in game.
fun fact Sara’s actress in this show is the daughter of Thandie Newton who plays Maeve in Westworld. The resemblance is uncanny.
That fact wasn't that fun, that was okay-ish fact.
The point of making an example by hanging someone is really necessary. It might sound harsh, but imagine a random guy gets out of the quarantine zone and gets back in with a bite, he's going to doom everyone inside. When a single person's mistake can kill a whole city, you need to show people the cosecuenses.
Sam voice imitation of a zombie is spot on! Lmao they have to hire you at this point for movies or series. Great reaction as always
Morgan’s and Dani’s sounds after were wild lmao I was like 😳
The actress who play Sarah is the daughter of Thandiwe Newton, who play
Maeve Millay from HBO: Westworld
I feel you Dani. You handled it like a champ. That scene is devastating even if you know it is coming.
The difference in the car scene with Joel and Sarah is it isn’t a plane that crashes.
I believe it’s a car. And the song is “Never Let Me Down Again by Depache Mode.. 1987.
Yeah, a car literally hits them which was why when that car almost hit them but didn't, I was confused lol. Then the plane crashed and I was like "ahhh changing it up on us there huh" 😅
The kid in the classroom that shines the watch at sara is twitching, most probably a sign of infection
We need an "oh god" counter because it would be in the triple digits haha.
Triple digit? I guess you missed the math classes in school 🏫🎒
53:50 The one playing Marlene is the one who voiced Marlene in the game (Merle Dandridge) :)
Ok so one: Marlene's actor is also her voice in the game is why she looks and sounds like her. Two: Another thing they changed it seems is you don't gotta wear a gasmask around the corpses. Much like the real life version of the fungus when the host dies, they send it out into the air to infect others.
Oh also girls it's not zombies, the host is actually still alive in the first stage at least. They just can't control themselves.
The hangings are rough but you have to have some kind of punishment for someone putting everyone at risk. It's the same as someone hiding a bite and going back to the group.
Yeah but in public? I know they have to make an example but still. If they do this than what's next? Yes, they theoretically keep the peace but at the cost of their soul.
I think it's much more practical and simpler than that--resources are very scarce, so hangings are just another way to save your bullets, quite frankly.
@@gordonchell4364 Fear is the key ingredient in public executions. I don't condemn or condone, I was just saying it was punishment for risking everyone's lives.
@@AbelAraya Hell a screwdriver jab to the temple would work. They just want it public for the fear factor.
@@SyntheticCK That just sounds messy 🤮
Marlene is the same as the voice actress actually!
Dani knew what was about to happen and powered through. Can't say the same for me. That moment still tears me apart every time.
The city they mentioned has the largest flour mill in the world. All day, Joel, Sarah and Tommy avoided eating things with flour in them. Also, 2003 was the hottest year worldwide on record. The perfect "trigger" for the evolution of the fungi. As for the green explosions, that's what electrical transformers look like when they explode.
Guy with the shiny bracelet in school in the beginning was twitching from early signs of cordyceps infection. That's why we saw her look at his hand.
Morgan really went through it this episode.
Already having nightmares - Morgan
Tess promised Robert that Joel wouldn't hurt him, because Robert was terrified what Joel would do when he saw what Robert's guys did to her. From Robert's perspective, it'd be safer to kill her and never let Joel know he was involved. Tess promised him Joel answers to her, and she'd make up the story about being jumped, so Joel wouldn't come after him. Because if he believed the promise, she got to leave, alive.
When you're bleeding seriously, as Marlene is, do you think trying to sneak out of a basically military imposed quarantine zone will be easy? The lass needs a chance to get patched up. So she needs to get out of this building to somewhere she can get patched up. Something that's going to require sneaking and crawling and maybe even running for the next few hours is going to make her a burden, resulting in her death. (Fun fact: Marlene is played by the actress who voiced Marlene in the game)
"So basically those people they were hanging in the beginning were just breaking curfew and stuff?"
Actually they were being hanged for unauthorized exits and entrance to a quarantine zone. If you're caught outside, and you came from inside, you probably have a way back in. If you're caught coming in without authorization, you have to have been sneaking in. The function of the quarantine zone is to prevent infection getting into the zone. Since one infected (refer back to the scene with the boy with the green shoe laces in the wheelchair you'll see on one of the signs: a bite on the neck or higher can result in full infection in minutes, while a bite at say the ankle or foot will take 12-24 hours to full infection. One infected in a place where say 6 uninfected people are, could turn into 7 infected in under 15 minutes (this would be assuming the infected would just bite someone and move to the next person, which is highly doubtful, but hypothetically possible)., which could mean an entire quarantine zone has a lot of infected in less than a day.
FEDRA - without seeing the name and any signage, my interpretation was "FEDeral Disaster Response/Reaction Administration/Agency" just based on how government agencies often get shortened names.
They are heading to a meeting point with Fireflies, at the "old" capitol building, which is in Boston (the city we know), but outside the "Boston Quarantine Zone" what the quarantine zone encompasses, is what FEDRA was able to secure and keep infection free, but is only a portion of the city. The city of Boston is about 90 square miles (imagine a rectangle 9 miles wide by 10 miles long, or 90 1 mile by 1 mile tiles laid out so all of them connect to at least one other tile, that's the surface area of Boston. If we presume the Quarantine Zone is only 5%m it would be a mere 4.5 square miles, or 4.5 tiles. If we further presume from one corner of Boston is no more than 25 miles from the furthest point, you're looking at maybe a little over 20 miles [not taking into consideration that the capitol building isn't on an outskirt location] The Salem reference is from a radio communication point. The person sending the message is in Salem, advising where to meet someone in "old Boston" (Apologies for the math. My brain works that way. I like to calculate details. I try to keep it simple when the details aren't all there)
As I understand, the music was Depeche Mode (confirmed by subtitles when I watched it), since the code was based on decade... 60s, nothing new, 70s new stuff 80s "x" which Ellie deduced was trouble by telling Joel the song was an 80s #1 "wake me up before you go go?" The song included heavy "electronica" which became a big fad in the 80s when synthesizers became a thing.
Remember, they are not zombies. They are not the undead. When you kill someone, their body doesn't rise up and start walking. They are alive and conscious, trapped inside a body they can no longer control.
I’m so tired of you guys saying this to every reactor. Got them all being scared when they accidentally say the word zombie. IT IS CLOSE ENOUGH. THEY ARE MINDLESS AND WILL COME TO CONVERT YOU TO ONE OF THEM. same damn thing chill out
Huh in TWD they are definitely dead so why can't they be here
Watching the person in the middle looking back and forth between the other two was hilarious and I'm sure it's exactly what we all look like when we're watching these reaction.
Someone recently pointed out to me that it wasn’t even the fungus that killed Sarah it was the government, She definitely would’ve lived through those twenty years if it weren’t for that soldier
Wow she knew that the girl will die and still holding tears because it always hurts. Even if you play the game before
The opening was done by the same company that did GoT and Westworld and speaking of Westworld, Sarah is Thandiwe Newton’s (Maeve) actual daughter
Great to see some more (rare) reactions from people that have not played the game! I agree it sucks they’re fast xD. I’ll be following you through this. Though as with others I feel like I unnecessarily need to correct the fact that these infected are not eating anyone. They’re spreading the Infection. If you eat someone they’re just dead and can’t spread it anymore.
23:46 Girl in the middle is having PTSD from the last time she played the game. 😂
I’m enjoying how much each actor is embodying the characters from the game. Even if they don’t look exactly like the character, they capture the characters pretty well. Like Tommy feels just like Tommy in the game. I’m excited to see if this show can handle the pressure of using one of the best (my fav) games of all time as a model.
The Salem they were talking about is more likely Salem, Oregon (it was out west), and Boston to Salem, Oregon is a lot more than an hour. Luckily they only have to get to the capital building in downtown Boston.
I don't know if this has been answered, but the song at the end is from the 80's. It's a Depeche Mode song called Never Let Me Down Again. I remember getting an ironic laugh out of it, because it's from the Music For The Masses album in a world with well... no more masses. It's rare to hear anything outside of either the Violator or Black Celebration albums in a soundtrack. If productions are shelling out the cash for Depeche Mode, they usually want something from their best albums to get the most bang for their buck.
Marlene is played by the voice actor from the game. Also Marlene putting Ellie in camp isn’t shocking bc ALL orphans end up there, someone has to put them there, it just so happened it was Marlene for Ellie.
From the beginning of the video, every comment you all were making, I was like, that's coming, and that, and that too...oh you don't like fast ones, that too. Then it was sit back and watch every box get checked as you were going through the episode. It was a wonderful reaction, thanks. It's a great tv show.
the actress of marlene is the same actress who played marlene in the videogame. im not english but i think its called she reprised her role or something :D
Pedro Pascal is also The Mandalorian.
The fungus gives its infected host extra strength and engery
discovered you with Arcane glad to be back with this show your reaction rocks!
Are you sure Morgan loves zombies? lol
The actress playing Marleen is the actual voice actress from the game.
The green light is caused by arc flash when a big neighborhood power transformer explodes. Sometimes you'll see it in a thunderstorm, usualy right before a neighborhood goes dark.
I thought Dani was holding back laughing at Morgan, but she was actually holding back tears lol.
Fun fact the actress that plays Marlene is the same voice actress in the video game
It's fine they call them zombies. For all allegorical and metaphorical purposes, they are. If you're reading this, let it go. You don't have to say it.
Ah yes, finally. A sane, reasonable human being in a Last of Us comment section.
Great reaction guys! I love how Morgan tries to hide behind her hands from the jump scares 😂
that's funny you guys mentioned westworld cause nico parker who play sarah is thandie newton's daughter and she's maeve in westworld
i can't stop looking at the girl in the middle. she looks like a classmate of mine back in senior high
Marlene the leader of the fireflies is the same voice and motion capture actress from the game
My favorite part about the first episode is that it follows the game sooooo closely. They need to do that with more videogame movies and tv shows, just straight up copy and paste.
Not only that but they expand on the lore and characters, helps that the original writer is working on it though. But 100% best game adaption ever made. easily
@@Quzga IDK about best. Castlevania, and even the Sonic movies have been good too. It's been very faithful so far like those.
@@kingcaesar3693 sonic really.. Last films I would use as an example, they're very mediocre lol.
Castlevania sure but it's barely a game adaption
God I’ve heard so many good things about the show but I just finished replaying through both games for my podcast and I cannot handle the emotional pain so I’ll just watch it through you guys lol good stuff!
Also Pedro Pascal Is In Narcos And The Mandalorian
Also Game of Thrones.
And Wonder Woman villain, Unbearable Weight.
Every characters he played are very different.
One of good actor indeed
and game of thrones
About Marlene, the voice actor that played Marlene in the game is the same actor that plays Marlene in the HBO series
Marlene said they were taking Ellie west, so I think it's Salem, Oregon not Massachusetts?
This is the first time I saw dani getting emotional but still gritting her teeth damn ❤️
Marlene is played by Marlene. 😀
Yay, finally...so happy you are watching it!
My theory on all the airplanes is that nobody is letting them land or tower control is compromised. The planes are running out of fuel and just following each other hoping to find a safe place to land. Scary shit.
So happy yall are reacting to this! Wasn't sure it was gonna happen because I know Morgan is scared of zombies lol
The song at the end was Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again
Please listen to the intro music its the same from the game and its beautiful
The song at the end is 80's, I"m old enough to remember music from then and I recognized that it was definitely a song by Depeche Mode (80s alt rock group) but I didn't know which song. Cool choice, not to go with an obviously recognizable song but still an unmistakable product of its time.
They aren't like normal zombies. Zombies drive is to feed these ones their goal is to just spread the fungus to everyone on earth. So alot of the time people get bit once and turn they don't eat them.
You guys need to watch this in the dark or low light setting to feel more immersed. Why so many lights?
Oh this is very exciting I didn’t think you guys would be watching this and Sam and Morgan going blind and Dani semi blind should be interesting!!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Oh the fungal infection is based on a real fungal caled zombie ant look it up it’s interesting. That’s why this was a little more scary then zombies😣
Fun fact the girl who played Sarah is the daughter of an actress who's in Westworld. I don't remember her name but they've pretty much got the same face.
94 degrees would actually be a massive drop in our body temp. It’s not nearly as close it sounds.
Btw this fungus is a real fungus in the world but it only affects small insects but yeah if it did mutate then this would be probably what the world would look like
Bang! Loving the Spike hoodie!
To freak you ladies out a little more, not only is the planet getting warmer, us humans are getting colder. Our average body temperature has been steadily declining for the last few generations. The average person runs somewhere in the high 97s now (my personal morning norm is 97.4).
Marlene is the leader of the Fireflies, she usually has other teams do the work for her.
To let you know in the beginning when they explained about the fungus, there’s an actual fungus in real life. Good thing it only happen to insects.
The green flashes of light are the electric transformers blowing.
