I’ve always gone for the axe, it’s got some reach and works every time (except on clickers)
A little hatchet (shout-out Rick Grimes) or a baseball bat with nails in it
A flippin M4.
Preferably w a 203 attached.
Axe is favorite since The Left 4 Dead days
Crossbow, Pump action shotgun, revolver.
So the ones with the “butter lettuce head” is called a clicker, they can’t see because of there head but they hear like echolocation.
Blind run gang LFG
yep, just like that
I like butter lettuce head better
Can I just say “butter lettuce” sounds deceptively delicious 😢
@@Cornberry unfortunately it just tastes like lettice
If y'all saw the the clicker that tess hit in the head with the hatchet it had blood dripping down its chin and all over its neck. The first time you see it it does not. Little detail you we missed where you realize tess had been bitten.
The visual effects, costume and sound departments are killing it so far. They did such a good job of capturing how scary the clickers are
33:38 " but you can't beat that view"
Notice after Ellie says that and walks away, Joel looks at his broken watch for a moment.
💔
They’re called “Clickers”. It’s the third stage of infected. The fungus grows out the head, blinds the host, but now “sees” through echolocation. Hence the clicking noises
It the third stage, second are stalkers.
It’s the third it goes Runners Stalkers , Clickers , Bloaters
@Xxyoujustknowxx Oh no, I said second instead of third...you intense stickler. Hear that folks? Small mistakes can't be made in comments
Since NO ONE mentioned it I'm gonna go ahead and say it. It's the THIRD stage. 😐
@@jeffmattel7867 😂I’d be lost with you
It was cool watching the both of you fully buy into Tess starting to form a bond with Ellie because you didn't know she was gonna die. And you also didn't know what the monsters would look like. Greg and Andrew are great, they know the game even better than I do, but also recording a blind reaction was seriously a great move. Hitting the thumbs up on both versions.
Yes, I like watching both reactions as well. Very nice to see people who know the game and other who do not.
I love how Tara suggests grabbing a gun from the museum, as if Ellie is going to take 2 minutes silently loading a revolutionary war era musket and blow a .75 inch diameter hole through a Clicker.
Just like the Founding Fathers intended.
I love the reactions they had to the clicker scene was the same reaction everyone had the first time you encounter them in the game, absolutely horrifying and heart pounding.
The show runners said that there were scenes with Tess that were cut that showed that Tess had a husband and a son and that both were infected. She was forced to kill her husband but she couldn’t do the same to her son so she locked him up in the basement, were presumably he turned into a clicker.
💔
You can't just become a clicker. Clickers are the 3rd phase
@@g_g... nobody said they immediately turned into a clicker, they said that the kid got bit and was left behind by Tess cuz she couldn't pull the trigger. And presumably, as time pass by, they turn into a clicker.
@@g_g... by hitting phase 3, you can become a clicker. So therefore, you can become a clicker.
@@BoshyG do you not know what's the purpose of the word "just"?
I think/felt that the infection that Tess was suffering from, was basically paralyzing her, and she was fighting so hard to get the lighter started and last ditch effort she succeeded. Also had the same thoughts of you with the grenades. Like if she pulls the pin, she will have to let it go at some point causing the same function as the lighter.
This infected is a clicker. They use echo location to communicate. The overgrowth of cordyceps blocks their eyesight so they use sound to track their prey.
Side note, the Firefly Joel rolls over when they enter the capitol building is Neil Druckmann the game director and producer of the series.
Neil also directed this episode.
No, it's not Neil. That's just a guy who has long hair. Druckmann used to have long hair, but doesn't anymore. Hasn't had that for a long time.
Tara’s dry humor is fucking fantastic ❤ I’m loving this duo
The butterflies are a Craig Mazin addition, he says he seeded the imagery through the show to symbolize a chrysalis and a change for the better.
The show just keeps getting better and better! I don’t want it to end! It lives up to the game. 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Omfg John & Tara are absolutely fantastic. Getting to watch them experience this story and this world for the first time is even better than I could’ve imagined, thanks for giving us such an amazing gift. John is so insightful and hilarious and Tara just couldn’t be any more lovely and hilarious and I’m SO ON BOARD with grabbing every single potential weapon, I’d never survive solely because I would be dragging 900 tons of gear
Her line about “that reminds me of every date that was a bad kisser“ is classic.
Said this last week but am saying it again, this style of reactions in the gamers in Greg and Andrew on Sunday and then on Tuesday John and Tara being the newbies. It’s so much fun. Plus Tara is great lol
The blind mushroom heads in the museum are called Clickers! So fucked up lol it’s really fun watching you guys react to this story blind…hold onto your butts because we are just getting started! 🍄😂
Isn't the show supposed to explain that at some point?
Hi! Regarding the butterfly comment, an actual butterfly doesnt appears in the video game, but I guess the series producers are using the butterfly to tell us something, let me explain myself:
First, here some times I have detected the butterfly reference:
1.- If you check the first episode, when Sara wakes up, the pillow has a butterfly logo on it.
2.- When Ellie and Joel are alone for the first time, talking about the radio songs and stuff, she stands by the window and there's a blue butterfly on the window's glass.
3.- Starting second episode, after the Indonesia intro, Ellie wake's up and a buttefly if fliying above her, and Joel is looking at her (Tess also).
So basically what I believe is that the butterfly represents how Joel will assosiate the time he spends with Ellie, with Sara's momories. I predict the butterfly will be seen throughout the show.
there’s also a very similar butterfly decoration hanging in joel and sarah’s kitchen pre outbreak!
Few notes: the director of the episode was the creator/director of the game. And the voice actors for clickers (butter lettuce) are the same actors that did motion capture (and voices) for the in-game clickers.
They aren't the same mocap actors. According to the producers, they're dedicated fans who have the movements down. The vocals were the same people from the games however.
Yep they were indeed fans of the game who understood the movement. I love when people make up own facts. It always amuses me. Tho I understand why you might think that
@@nickvanderlinden7165 ah sorry, the did mocap and voices for the game and only did voices on the show. My mistake
14:07 as a Bostonian myself, I would like to thank John Humphrey for accurately representing my culture. ❤
We need more reactions with Tara! She's hilarious!
36:18 I think Tess wasn't fully in control of her body when the other infected noticed her and walked over to her. Remember, the cordyceps begin to take over the brain and though the human is still technically alive, they become automatons that the cordyceps control. The cordyceps in them recognized the cordyceps in her and the mouth tendril transfer was likely them joining her directly to their fungi network. Tess likely had to exert the last of her independent will to ignite that lighter and drop it.
She was definitely still in control, she was enacting a plan to destroy the infected and succeeded. If it reached her brain she would be completely incapable of independent thought. Ppl are reaching with this one and there's no reason for it since the show made everything clear as it happened. The showrunners also said that infected don't necessarily respond violently unless they're prevented from spreading the infection (obviously by the time they're clickers and cant see they pounce on anything they can hear). She was not running because she was making a suicide stand, so there was no reason for them to attack her when they noticed her, but the stalker actively tried to infect even though she was already infected.
@@mediumvillain - The same showrummers also said that in that moment Tess had already begun to give up and give in and her continuing to try and ignite the lighter was her last act of independence.
"Little girl cut off a piece of your skin and make her eat it." lmao XD.
19:04 since youre asking, yes, those are clickers. earlier in the episode Joel goes onto tell Ellie how some infected have been walking around for 20 years. those are some of them. clickers are the second stage of the infection. lol they look like butter lettuce bc they've had time to mutate. they are terrifying in the game but seeing them on screen almost made me crap myself. the actors portraying the clickers are actually big fans of the game and took time studying the movements and it definitely paid off. its amazing how spot on it is
Third stage not second
More Tara please!!! Love her in these reactions
She’s so concerned about the weapons it so funny
Yes!!! 💚 also John and Tara look so cute together ☺️
Even though I played the game and knew how it would go down I was somehow even MORE terrified in the museum scene than when I played the game! The fact that Neil Druckman himself directed this episode makes it even more perfect. And from the cold open showing how cordyceps originated in Jakarta it proves the Bread Theory was right. Which makes rewatching the pilot even MORE tense because you see how lucky Joel, Tommy and Sarah were that they didn’t get infected from eating any flour based foods.
As for Tess’ ending, I think it was actually done better than the game. The scene of the mycelium (the fungal threads) going into her mouth was incredibly disgusting but the look in her eye when it happened showed that even though she was about to turn into one of them she managed used that iron will of hers to force herself through those last seconds before turning to burn them all. Stand and applaud for Anna Torv everyone!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Fun Fact: So Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin did more research on fungus and found out that if spores were as much of a threat as they are in the game that humanity would be completely wiped out. So they changed it to another scary fact about fungus which is that there are some species that grow so big that they can cover entire acres of rainforest in Brazil. So they added that instead of spores.
I don’t think the origin is exclusive to Jakarta, but the show used it as a call back to the radio blurb in the first episode. I think the bigger reveal in Episode 2 is letting the audience know that grain & flour are the perfect substrate for the fungus. With 2003 being a year of record heat worldwide, it would be logical to conclude that if the temperature increase were sufficient to reach a critical mass enabling the cordyceps fungus to mutate and live in human hosts, then that would have happened near simultaneously in flour/grain other parts of the world. It would be a big leap to assume the old lady neighbor in Austin was infected by flour from Jakarta in the biscuits or cookies they made two days after discovery of the fungus living in humans in Jakarta. Maybe there will be more exposition in future episode prologues, but it seems the world would have deteriorated so rapidly if the mutation was happening concurrently in different places. The fungus that was already in its ideal substrate was in effect dormant because the ambient temperature had always been too low to allow an evolutionary mutation to be able to survive in a host whose body temperature exceeds 94 degrees F.
@@pablozee6359 & @Dark Knight Jedi . Well said ! We don't know the time it takes to be fully infected by ingesting the flour. Maybe it takes days, weeks, , years, for it to propagate in humans. The flour may have come from anywhere.
@@TheFrosty1994 I didn’t play the games, so my take was just from observations from the first two episodes. I’ve spent time talking to a lot of people who played the game and the consensus seems to be that it was either suggested or confirmed that the infections specifically started in Jakarta. Maybe the show will continue to have cold open prologues that reveal details on the origins. Great show so far.
The best sets, vfx, acting, and storytelling in one show. So impressed.
Loving the reactions! I’m going on blind like you guys, never played the games.
Something to note about museum weapons. Most museums - at least in the U.S., not sure about other countries - will remove critical pieces so that the weapons they display won’t fire. So removing the weapon won’t have any sort of functionality.
Even if they were "functional", they would probably still need to be loaded, and I doubt any of them would be able to do so with any speed, let alone correctly.
@@richardyoung3462 Well sure, that goes without saying! There’s a lot of steps that would need to be done. Break the glass, grab one of the weapons, locate a firing pin that works, put it in, find shot and powder, load it, and then fire it. All while in the dark, running for your life. Maybe someone from Rodgers Rangers could do that, but I sure as shit not doing that.
Me personally, I’m jumping out the nearest fucking window yelling “nope” the whole way down.
This is 🇺🇸 dude! Those guns are loaded and modified to spit fire faster then the original design. Coz patriotism!
USA! USA! USA!
This is 🇺🇸 dude! Those guns are loaded and modified to spit fire faster then the original design. Coz patriotism!
USA! USA! USA!
I love that you guys are doing reactions for video game players and non video game players!
adore the two sets of reactions! both give me something different and i love comparing them!
My reading of the kissing scene is that he noticed she's not resisting, and the fungus hive can extract more utility out of her if she's not injured, so this was the most logical way to spread the infection to her, (or speed it up in her case), the fact that it looks like some sort of romantic kiss is purely coincidental, but in the abstract it also provides the poetic imagery of the hive welcoming her in.
yeah I think the way the shot was framed to make it look like a romantic moment just made what we were actually seeing happen seem *that much more* repulsive
The fungus doesn’t think, it’s all reactive and the shortest action for the best results. The fungus already in her had reached her brain and was attempting to take motor function control. The kiss was just a means of speeding up the process and taking full control, the fungus in him was communicating with the fungus in her. Zombies run on their base instinct to feed, these things run on their base instinct, to spread
@@Manx36 I disagree, I don't think the fungi are capable of communicating with each other when not connected to the grid, they can only imprint their baseline instincts into the hosts and control them that way. The fungus doesn't need to be a thinking being for it "know" that it is more advantageous for the species to not harm a potential host if they are not resisting. Just like any other species, that would be an instinct it acquired along way its evolutionary path.
But anyway, in the end this is sci-fi the rules are whatever the writers make them to be. I'm just extrapolating based on what I've seen so far on the show, which differs a bit from the game.
I absolutely love that I get to double dip on reactions. It’s cool to see how much they changed, all of which has been for the better. The tendril-tonguing at the end wasn’t a part of the game, originally it was spores but apparently spores would’ve wiped out humanity… instantly. So the show makes things a bit more realistic, which makes it even more horrifying.
Making all the infected interconnected like that makes it so much more intense! I haven't played the games, but I don't feel lost at all so far, which is a great testament to the writers and set designers.
John and Tara are an adorable pair to watch horror stuff with, I like this whole vibe or newbie reaction and fan reaction.
I'm enjoying your noob reactions so much. I've been watching Greg and Andrew's reactions too even though I never played the game. It doesn't bother me that they make references to the game. I'm loving the differences between the two sets of reactions. Tara is a joy to watch. She is totally me when I was watching the episode. I feel the same way about weapons. I'm with you. John, you're fun to watch too btw. Enjoying your observations and thoughts. Looking forward to your next blind reaction!
Losing my mind at "break the cabinet with all the guns"
Hahhaahah those are muskets, they are in a museum. Firstly they are not loaded, and secondly if they were it would only be able to shoot one bullet. LOL
Great reaction! Love seeing someone who hasn't played the game watch this.
It would be fun to watch you guys react to the behind the scenes bits they include after the episode
im seriously enjoy this channel so much!
Oh man Tess RIP. The whole museum scene I was on the edge of my sit.. those clickers are freaky AF lol!!! Another fantastic episode looking forward to nexts. Love your reactions John and Tara xx
Man, you guys are about to witness one of the greatest stories ever told. I'm so excited for your guys.
Another amazing episode! The clickers were spot on!
So they start out as runners, which were at the beginning of the series, enough years pass for the cordyceps to sit in their hosts, then they can either go stalker which you see undulating in the sunlight in this episode also the one that kills Tess is a stalker. 20 years plus and they turn into clickers, which base their sights in the form of echolocation. And there are also bloaters that Ellie talked about earlier where they can explode infectious spores in the vicinity. There’s also later on in game number two something called the Rat King which is all of them combined. So yeah there’s your get to know the universe you’re watching and experiencing. I love this adaptation so so much.
Well that's kind of a spoiler, don't you think? 🙄 let them be shocked when they actually see the other infected, not before they've even been shown. Jeez.
@@tiffanysullivan5454 I mean it’s a TV adaptation who knows what they’re willing to adapt from the games not everything I said could be interpreted on screen im just letting them know that that is how they’re portrayed in the games.
Y’all are so cute ❤. Thank you for sharing your reactions!
For the Finale can we get all 4 of you on one video???? That would be epic
Good catch with the butterfly motif! It's subtle enough I didn't catch it my 1st viewing. As for it being in the game, it is subtle but yes, still there. So no, you're not crazy for that lol
I swear I have a tension headache after watching this episode. I was SO STRESSED the WHOLE TIME.
Love these reactions.
the ones with the “butter lettuce head” are called clickers and they're terrifying in the game as much as in the show
“…tendrils in your business” is a great band name
OMG LOVE BOTH UR REACTIONS
love what they did with the Clickers
There is great foreshadowing in the first episode that the fungus is in the grain/flour. Every opportunity Sarah and Joel may have eaten it, the pancakes/cookies/cake, they do not take. The old couple who ate the cookies and got infected is further evidence. Also, in this episode, Ellie is eating bread without fear, further showing she is immune.
This episode nailed it... and something this show is doing in a very interesting way is that not only the series complements the game but also viceverse for people like John's reaction who is imagining how would be a game of this series. The 2013 game version gets more value and deep with lots of gameplay in scenarios and details that are not shown in television and the changes that works surprising in both ways are absolutely good! God it would be great to be someone who didnt play the game and do it after the series, such a pleasant journey.
Believe me, the show becomes 10 times better after you've played the game or seen full gameplays.
I discovered this channel thanks to this reaction. And I really like your personalities and smarts!
The butterfly thing... I'm impressed you noticed. I didn't, until being pointed out in another video lol
Finally i was waiting for this reaction
Nice reaction video. I thought Tess’s death couldn’t get any more emotional 😢
IMO it could be more emotional if there's flashback scene of her family that got infected, and she had to kill them (she killed her husband, but couldn't do it with her kids, so she locked them in bunker or something and leave them)
@@kera.saktiii that would be interesting to see
@@kera.saktiii that's so sad :(
I think the kids was more that the hive mind was connecting together as Tess was infected. The infected mouths are not in The game so this is a new angle!
@@kera.saktiii damn, dude. Did u just come up with that?
love the show so far and the recap and the beginning of the episode is terryfing to think there is nothing else to do except bomb the whole place just imagine is something like this realy happens...overral great episode and reaction as always
That final shot is so well done. Ellie felt closest to Tess and still doesn’t like Joel at this point so when she turns towards the camera and it pans back showing her totally alone, that’s exactly how she feels. Isolated. This show is so well done.
To answer John's question, there are no approved fungal vaccines. Fungi are as complex as they are weird, and there's even still debate on whether they should be considered plants or animals (currently, they're split off into an entirely separate third category).
There are constantly vaccines in development for fungi just as with other medical conditions, but these have never been effective enough. There have been recent unexpected breakthroughs that might suggest paths for vaccines for very specific strains of fungi, but that was within the past decade... so for Professor Ratna in 2003, the idea of developing a vaccine for any fungi (never mind cordyceps in particular) might as well be as hopeful a fantasy as a target today to colonize Mars by 2025.
This show it’s the best!!!!!! Watching you guys is like watching it all over again lol … I love I don’t know crap about the game so this is all fresh to me…ENTERTAINING!!!!!!!
Love watching people react to this who have never played the game! ♥️
Love the comment about spaghetti squash. I'm off it right now due to crazy cost but to your point, going to be hard to look at it the same!
I was just singing ring my bell at work had the crew join in lmao 🤣 that’s wild
I was waiting for this. Tara is awesome.
I don't get everyone commenting on the wrench, they clearly had it zoomed in with blood all over it from the old lady, why would he put it in the car when they have no clue if the blood can affect you or not?
That's a good point. 👍
Yep, you'd think after 3 years in a pandemic, ppl would realise the uncertainty and fear that comes when it's still an unknown virus you don't understand.
Thank for putting me in the video at 7:35, Rejects!!! I just didn’t want Tara to worry
the 1st stage of infections are runners/crawlers on the first episode, this 2nd episode is clickers (the mushroom head) and stalkers ( the one that has antennas and kissed tess before she sacrificed herself )... lets wait for the next episode for the progression of the infected...
Too late, see the post just above yours. People.......sigh🙄
As a gamer...I like to watch both reactions. I like seeing the blind reactions and experiencing it through fresh eyes.
would love a the last of us lets play with the both of you after the series is over!!!!! great video!!!!
Love your reactions guys ❤️
Yeah in the "inside the episode" on hbo max video they said they actually used the same people that did the zombies in the game so that was a great thing.
The last building is the legislature building in edmonton, ab. My hometown!
I regret to inform you that muskets on display in museum cabinets that haven't been fired since the Revolutionary War and aren't loaded and have no gunpowder would probably not be useful against the Clickers.
Man this has been fun. Sunday night with HBO then Greg and Andrew and then you 2 makes my week. It's been awhile since I watched a show that made me forget to breathe! Those special effects are beyond just beyond gross and you guys reaction was same as mine. Love it see you next week. 💖✌️🎬Clickers🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️ lettuceheads! 🤣🤣🤣
The most iconic creatures from the game or the Clickers. They see like a bat basically they rely on sound and that clicking noise they're making is like sonar I think
The cut off a piece of your skin thing made me think of the one that bit her .. Imagine it being cured and the dude waking up only to get mauled but the rest
The kiss = Tess was infected but resisting. The network sent her "stumbly suitor" to remove the threat she presented by accelerating the process, and 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.
20:28 remember, he is a carpenter/construction worker. Think that was deliberate.
I love the reaction videos.
So, from what I understand, most of the effects are practical, and they filmed (at least) these 2 episodes in Calgary with most interior scenes on a sound stage with practically built sets and augmented the on location outdoor shots with cgi (adding texture/foliage and extra buildingsAlso, the fungus tendrils are completely cg, so thankfully, Anna Torv didn’t actually have a mouthful of spaghetti squash.
Great Reaction John and Tara
Literally waited all night for this and it is morning and what do you know
Edit: if you are reading this hello
That fungal zombo at the end had some W Rizz
Was waiting for the frog to bust out in, "Hello my baby, hello my honey..."🎵🤣
I was looking forward to you guys to see the clickers for the first time. Your reaction was hilarious 😂
I didn’t think of spaghetti squash, until after I heard Tara say that so thank you Tara
since the writers said the "kissing scene" between Tess and the infected represents her not being able to "resist" the infection... poetry
Those (in the museum) are Clickers.
What I am now wondering is how sentient is the fungi? All the talk of the network and connectedness makes me very concerned that Tess didn't drop the lighter in time to hide Joel and Ellie's next destination or that Ellie might be the only enemy to fear except for fire.
I'm pretty sure the same Bill and Frank were the ones who played the trouble music at the end of ep 1
Yesss Tara's back!!!!
When they're first bit they're called runners. When the fungus starts coming out of their face they're called stalkers. The blind ones are called clickers because of the clicking noise they make which they use with their advanced hearing for echolocation
Lol i would sooner have used the musket as a club than a firearm. Joel just has spare musket balls and gunpowder at all times
There was a behind the scenes after the credits
I wonder if you guys would be willing to play the games, taking turns by missions. One mission John, one mission Tara. Would be fun to watch.
I can't wait to watch people that haven't played the game but are watching the show to go back an play the game. Because it's like they are moving linear with the game but on a different road
I'm sure you guys have gotten this comment but 4:37 ("You don't want to try to make a vaccine?") The game came out in 2013. It's 2023 now and there are STILL no vaccines for fungal infections.
That first scene, she teaches a lesson if a country starts bombing itself out of nowhere, you know what they are bombing themselves for
Damn right they know.
