Sam: Not even a kiss goodbye?!
Infected: Hold my fungus
This had me dead lol
broooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
it really is a parallel
That makes it so much more heartbreaking
I’m deceased 💀😂
The first girl asking "If you get bit on a limb, can you cut it off" I'd guess yes since you did see a lot of amputees back at the QZ in episode 1.
I was thinking that at first too, and it still might be the case, but I wonder if maybe that's the punishment lesser crimes within the QZ. Like if you steal or something they take a hand or some fingers.
@@MrZomBie775 I would air more on the side of doing that in emergencies like being bitten. Cutting off limbs as punishment would use up a lot of medical supplies.
@@MrZomBie775 Could be, but I didn’t get that kind of vibe from the QZ. Like I don’t think there is that kind of mafia enforcement going on, at least not from the military’s part.
And we can see a sign in first episode, the infected kid scene, where it says the time of spreading if you get bite in different parts of your body. Arms was something like 2-3 hours, legs like 24hs (something like that, the further from the head the slower the propagation)
If you girls didn't know yet, Annie Wersching (VA for Tess in the game) recently passed away at 45 because of cancer.
You may know her in others roles like 24, Bosch, Timeless, Runaways, and The Vampire Diaries. RIP 💔
Also from The Fringe.
21:25 OKAY BUT i feel like it would have been SO much funnier if after the zoom in on Morgan and Sam's stressed out face, the next shot should have been of Dani with her giant ass grin on her face :D
21:35 lol yeah I agree, right? That was funny though 🤣
Morgan and Sam are going: OH MY GOD WHATTHEF?!
And Dani: 😁
Emotionless
Dani grinning the entire clicker sequence was a mood
I was the same watching that scene, this show so far has been delivering so well!
That's why she's the best.
Basic rule of thumb for the show is that if it doesn’t have Joel and/or Ellie in the scene, it wasn’t shown in the game.
You actually see Tess get bit in the game, but it happens so fast, Joel and Ellie comes in rushing, seeing Tess fighting an effected of her at a door. But if you dont know to look after a bite, most will not notice
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but you can actually see Tess's blood on the infected from the museum's mouth.
@@Alex-gn6ii I’m pretty sure because if u look closely u can see her with blood on the shirt of where she got big also
Dani straight up grinning like a psychopath during the clicker scene. 😂
I was the same way lol. Most people who have played the games just enjoy the moment, while those who haven't are nervous AF. It's pretty funny.
The special infected that were in the museum are way more aggressive than the normal ones, that's what was supposed to be implied during the dead body scene.
I think the fresh dead body at the museum before the Clickers scene implies that non-infected humans are also or much more dangerous. You can tell by the way Ellie said that the wounds are not from the infected.
@@DR3AD47 those scratches aren't from human origin mate, Ellie didn't recognize that damage because that was the first time she saw a Clicker, Clickers are brutal compared to runners
Fungi uses the path of least resistance to reach its desired destination. Since Tess was already infected and wasn't struggling, that's why the infected went through her mouth.
For those wondering why that scene with Tess and the infected happened that way, here is some clarification:
Craig Mazin (Co-writer of the show) was asked if the sole purpose of the infected is to spread the fungus, why is there a need for them to be violent? His response was, there isn’t. They’re violent because we resist, but what happens when we don’t? What happens when you stand perfectly still and you let them do this to you?
i don’t like that, they made it feel rapey.
@@sgtmian I think that’s the point. The fungus is violating your body and making it do stuff you don’t want it to do.
@@sgtmian well it’s not supposed to be exactly nice for a fungus to take over your brain
@@sgtmian I don't know where you expected the fungus to go that's the biggest entry point in her body it's also the closest to the brain so it makes sense lol
They go into detail on the official podcast and make arguments for how that scene relates to some of the core themes of the show but I still think it's bad and should have been cut.
One of the reasons I really liked the game was that it had a gritty setting but didn't rely on gratuitous portrayals of sexual assault, whereas in the show it's extremely hard to see the kiss as anything but. "It only kissed her unconsensually because she didn't fight back but if she resisted, THEN it would have gotten violent with her" is not a good argument that it wasn't SA. From the context of world building that's only a half step away from "we decided to explicitly show that the bandits have rape slaves now". I will acknowledge that the show isn't concluded yet, so there's a possibility that they might add more stuff in the future that ends up salvaging this scene, but as of right now I truly doubt that will happen.
Another reason why I dislike that scene is much more granular and kind of petty. I have heavy disdain for that overdone horror trope of 'character uses unreliable lighter to sacrifice themselves with an explosion' that we've all seen a million times. I get that the failing lighter is a metaphor for the character's spirit, etc, it's just soooo bland and cliche for a show that has otherwise been very genre savvy. One of the big reasons Tess's death hits so hard in the game is that it's such an ignoble end. It's clearly a suicide-by-cop that ends up being completely futile because fedra catches up to Joel and Ellie anyways, but in the show her heroic sacrifice kills an entire horde of dozens and dozens of infected in a massive blaze of glory. To me, that kind of end for the character just doesn't read true to the setting or the tone of the story.
The fact that the nice scientist lady suggested bombing instead of the typical military guy doing it shows how hopeless humanity is, damn..
The showrunners and creators explain the kiss like this: The fungus doesn't want to kill people, since it needs living people to infect and spread. So the zombies get up in your face to try and shove the tendrils into fresh bodies to spread, and they get violent if you fight back to try and force it. But if you're like Tess and you don't fight back, then the most efficient way to get the tendrils as close to the brain as possible would be through the mouth and into the sinuses.
Okay so we all now know that if we end up getting trapped surrounded by blind zombies with Morgan, we should run as far away from her as possible because she'll gasp and say "oh god" until we are all dead lmfao
Fun Fact: This episode was actually directed by Neil Druckmann who was the director of the game. So that's why a lot of the shots Dani noticed were shots from the game. Love you gals' channel.
RIP to Annie Wersching actress who plays Tess in the game. She died yesterday. 😔
She voiced Tess in the game
@@yujuswifebecauseshesveryfr9414 thanks, I clarified the comment.
@@NileSwimmer of course! I freaked out thinking you were talking about the actress from the show. RIP Annie Wersching.
That dead guy they found (to me) was implied that the "helmet heads" did it. They are much more swipey with their arms.
The quote "Long range attacks, fuck that." 34:30 Made me genuinely laugh out.
The success of The Last Of Us inspired the up coming Tomb Raider live action tv show.
I am exited for Sunday, the 4th episode.
imagine not knowing what the fu*k is going on and you're like "i know! just find someone who is an expert!" but then even the expert said "idk what to do but the best solution is we must die"
watching that scene sent chills down my spine 😭
I think you mixed up spores and bloaters, bloaters are the infected that throw acidic projectiles. They're not including airborne fungal spores in the show, they had them in some sections of the game where the characters had to wear gas masks. There was a bloater in one of the teaser trailers though
Some background on why the infected guy kissed Tess. According to the showrunners, Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin, the infection can either be violent, or loving. When you resist like Joel, Tess. and Ellie did in the museum, the clickers were violent and wanted to assimilate them. In the State House with Tess, she was already infected and wasn't going to fight. She knew she was done for. According to Mazin the fungus recognized each other and despite Tess still being cognizant of her surroundings and such, she was not running or trying to escape. When the man came up, the tendrils coming out of his mouth wanted to find a like self. Tess had the advanced infection inside and was taking quickly due to where she was bitten and so the two cordyceps were seeking each other. However, just as the last moments of herself remained Tess got the lighter to light and dropped it stopping the hoard from following Joel and Ellie.
31:58 poor Morgan she’s terrified of zombies and it just went up a whole new level😂
*infected*
Consider that little grass spot she was sleeping on was probably soaking wet since it was raining the night before. More gross than comfortable. Shocked Ellie isn’t covered in mud.
Can't wait for the next episode 🥲
Straight up pain
Really disappointed on episode 3 i know it's been a while you're not in love but still I lost my mind
😭
Same
Episode three will win some Emmy’s for sure.
Who else been binge watching episode 3 reactions the whole day? 💀Can''t wait for these three to get to that episode.
Literally what I've been doing all day 😂, and same!
Big same
YO! Me too, lol
Lmfao same
Guilty. Trying to not start sobbing at work.
Everyone in here impatiently waiting for their next episode reaction
Masterpiece 10/10
This 2nd episode was disappointed
Where's Parker?
I enjoy the whole team's experiences, but I love Dani's energy reacting to this show. She's my favorite, and I thought she'd definitely be someone I'd want on my apocalypse team, until:
12:54
Aww shucks 😭
The dead guy that ellie found was killed by the helmet heads. Ellie was shocked cause she only knows about the normal zombies who attacked and bit her. She doesnt know about the other mutated zombies like the helmet heads. Joel and tess knows it already thats why they suddenly got worried and told ellie to be silent.
The fungus main goal is to spread. So they decided to pass the fungus to an already infected one faster thru the mouth. If tess flinched or gave a little hint of aggression, they will attack and kill her asap. So tess is a real G for not flinching cause she knew she still needs to live long enough to ignite her lighter. But for me she shouldve just use one of those grenades in the floor instead of the lighter.
Ellie said the infected didn't attack her "that" way, the way the guy in the basement was killed. That's because there's ANOTHER type of infected.
We first saw Runners in episode 1, the ones who are really fast and basically run at their prey.
Stalkers hide in the dark and attack prey at opportune times, they sometimes attach to walls or the ground like what Tess saw or the ones at the end who broke free to where Tess was at then end.
Clickers are blind and use clicks and echolocation to target prey and move around. That's what attacked Joel in the museum.
Will episode 3 show another type? I won't spoil episode 3.
Usually ppl fight back the infected thats why they r agressive and bite, the "kiss" scene is to show what happens when some1 just do nothing.
Not only that but Tess was already infected and it was in the neck, she had 5-15m and they walked to that building so like she said to Joel “Stfu because i don’t have much time” she was already twitching and the infected are all connected so the stalker knew it and just try to speed up the process
lol that never even happens in the game they are also not hive mind. That scene was just dumb as hell period.
@@angelbedolla347 yes, because its a series, not the game, they are adding some other things that they didnt in the game.
The "hive mind" is the substitute to the spores.
@@angelbedolla347 You live to complain ain't you, fucker?
Hey guys! Some constructive criticism: for a show that is currently airing like this, I would really consider trying to get your reaction out the next day instead of being a week behind. You would probably get a lot more views from people who are searching for reactions and who don't already subscribe to you. I'm going to watch them no matter what since I'm a subscriber, but feel like you are leaving a lot of potential views on the table. Anyways, keep up the good work!
My favourite thing is just Dani smirking when she knows what's about to happen
Late but the zombie “kissed” Tess instead of biting to open her up because she wasn’t running or fighting whatsoever… making it very easy for the infected. If she was fighting it, it would’ve bit her to create an opening to infect her. But with her not fighting it didn’t need to do it went through her mouth opening and out the infection in her to turn her
just a detail, their are not zombies, their are infected. The fungus need the hostage alive, zombies are death people 👍, similar but not the same 😅.
love you girls 🥰🤗, keep the great work
8:27 So long as you know where things are being bent for the sake of entertainment, I think it's all good fun. The general idea is plausible, yes, but any such fungus influencing a human's brain would at most just give them bizarre hallucinations, poor motor control, etc. No "desire to infect others", etc. Not to mention, we actually DO have a number of antifungal medications that are effective. And the incubation for such a fungus to begin growing intravenously all the way up to the mouth from a leg would be measured in weeks/months, not minutes or hours.
The fungus in question is cordyceps and right now its capable of gaining control of the brains and nervous systems of small insects as explained in the cold open of the first episode. The conceit of the infection of this show is that its an evolved strain of cordyceps which not only assumes the survival of the fungus in humans but that its evolved to navigate and understand the human brain. Its not the same fungus but survives in humans its same fungus but super evolved to be as effective on humans as it was on small insects. So as we have yet to see any fungal parasites evolve to be capable of harming humans in any effective way i find that comparing the fungal infections we have right now in the real world to the potential of a super evolved cordyceps infection is a bit shortsighted. the real barrier for cordyceps to be able to be effective to humans is that it would need to gain an understanding of how to navigate the human nervous system which is so complex that feat seems pretty implausible.
That first smile from Dani 22:26, just epic lol
This show has amazing sound design. Everything has been perfect in this show so far: the performances, the VFX, the creature design, etc. But the music and sound design have been unsung heroes.
I wouldn't say the performances have been perfect. Bella struggles to maintain her american accent
Shout out to Dani for doing a great job as the one who already knows the story from the game. It's not always easy to navigate conversation when you know most things that are happening/will happen but I think she's doing really good about being careful on what to say/not say and giving context on how things are similar or different from the game.
As Indonesian I can confirm that we also has orange yellowish sky just like Mexico or Afghanistan 😂
The 94 degree limit thing is made up by the show FYI. It's a simple way to involve global warming into the story, but cordyceps don't infect mammals at all so this jumping straight to humans is pretty much impossible
my theory is that it could sense that she was infected and he was like passing it along to her.. which is why she didn't struggle against it too. horrifying to watch...
They explained it fungus spread like this when you dont resist they just infected you normal way if you resist they go violent they must spread it
Ellie: what did this
Joel & tess: clicker stare
My theory about the kiss has been that the fungus had already started to take over tess's body but because the bite was so high it was effecting the brain first. Her last ditch effort while still having control was to light the lighter but she was fighting against the infection (remember a bite that high only takes a few hours) so the fungus was keeping her still to allow the others to finish the full infection tess's last gasp while in control was to take out the horde before losing control. that last try to light was the last thing she was able to do before turning its such a cool mix and also shows infection doesnt have to be violent which is what the directors wanted.
"damn they're earth benders too?!" You caught me off guard on that one Höhöhö
The footage from the show is fine but I wish they turned up the volume on stuff again :(
In the game Tess dies holding off Fedra that’s a big change.
Yeah cause she was bitten. But the creators explained to them it made more sense that it would be infected way out here I stead of fedra expending resources to track down a handfull of people that far outside the qz
That infected kiss definitely a new scene, I was so confused because in the game it's a different faction that kills Tess not an infected. Definitely made it creepy.
Y’all are not ready for the next episode. It’s one of the best pieces of television I have ever seen. It’s a beautiful episode that will definitely win awards. Can’t wait to see what y’all think❤️
Oh gosh
If that's one of the best pieces of television you've ever seen, that means the television you've seen was nothing but garbage. It's the usual highly emotionally manipulative Hollywood episode. Looks like a movie tailored made for the academy to appeal to their exact "values" and blueprints. Also terrible LGBTQ wise as it just uses it for cheap tears and to score points. Nothing else.
@@FuzzyDlop lol ur just a hater man. I feel sorry for you. I personally enjoyed the episode and I’m entitled to my own opinion.
Thank you Dani for not referencing the game much during the episode.
wait for next reaction feels like a long long time.
I'll watch EVERY terror reaction you post... Its to much funnnn
I love this series so much. They did the clickers so damn f***ing awesome! Disturbing and terrifying af!
The cinematography, the score, the atmosphere, the emotions ... just perfect!
There are so many shots I would love as a picture at my walls. I need the last scene with Ellie at my wall
You guys have to forget the idea that dead people come back. It's not walking dead. The cordysepse needs it's host to be alive. The fungal parasite it's self is alive but it can not puppeteer a lifeless body. Forget zombie clichés they are not a thing here.
Yeah and it's believed that the infected person's mind is still intact but trapped in their own body, which is why in the game you might even come across some runners (stage 1 for those that don't know) that seemed to be in distressed or even crying. A horrible fate really to not be in control of your own body....
@@lalalalisa41 yes I have encountered this. Creepy as fuck
The cgi doesn't feel like cgi at all .,.its mad..they really went all in here.. the npcs as you'll see give performances worth emmys.. absolutely amazing show
I think Samantha would be too scared to play the game! lol
Didn't know Oliva Munn had a twin....
I wonder if constantly having a high fever would essentially make you immune as long as you have it since your body temperature would be higher than usual. Or if you were already infected and got a fever if anything would happen. Never played the game and I don’t have any medical knowledge so I don’t know if this is a thing or not lol
Idk if it's just me but it would be cool to see there reactions to the game so they could see like a side by side from show to game per episode. Wether they play it or watch a silent playthrough like a cinematic version of it.
the girl on the right is a legit 10/10 I mean god damnnnn
They are all pretty, but I like the one in the middle.
They did win the genetic lottery, above average looks by quite a bit.
Yes Sam really is but idk why I find Danni to be the cutest. Pretty sure Danni and Sam are sisters
34:20. Well, spores are the main way fungi propagate to new areas, so, that’s a big void. The way they did it in the game wasn’t believable, so it’s understandable they moved a different direction.
Love the way the show changed it because yes fungus would grow like tees underground.. actually most fungus does.. pretty spot on tbh
The way of the smile of the middle girl (sorry of not knowing the name I'm new here) is the smile of loving the reaction of her friends to things she already knew hahaha
Next episode is of one my favourite pieces of television ever. And I'm not alone with that feeling
Hey @The React Pack - can you girls turn up the volume from the actual show more ?
From left to right High Low Medium. the reactions really show the contrast in their personalities.
Dani having seen the game and knowing whats going to happen probably is also a factor in how she reacts^^
I use zombie shows like this to justify the large amount of ammo I keep stocked away. I’m not a crazy person! I’m just ready for the fungus monsters!
You guys give great reaction! Love the energy. Love how invested you all are 😊
Am I'm so excited to see a certain characters part in probably ep4 Or 5
Not zombies, guys…infected.
22:25 Morgan’s gasp is a jumpscare for me 😅
after episode 1 and this episode and finding out that there is a fungus that hijack the brain but only works on insect.... yeahhh my perspective of fungus has change for the better
It's only now dawning on me how sing-songy Morgan gets every 5 minutes and now I can't unsee it.
When im already laughing in the first 3 seconds of the video, i know im in for a good time. Bro, whos editing these? Shits fire 🤣🤣🤣
2 reactions in on this channel and I’ll say it now I have the BIGGEST crush on the girl in the middle
Clicker reveal was worthy of an emmy or summin it was amazing 😂❤
Holy moly GUACAMOLE man !!!
I didn't know that Indonesia in it.. 😂
n btw great reaction guys as always 👌🏻
That zombie gets a bonk
That intro is so funny
Still so excited you guys decided to cover this series! Thank you so much
I’m definitely not subscribing, cuz it’s not just these three, but I really look forward to the next episode. That will be the benchmark.
Army of the Dead movie when you have the time to watch it’s a great zombie movie
Start of this episode is incredible ❤ absolutely incredible.. hope those actors got recognised because that was amazing.. sorta a theme all thru this journey .all the npcs acted like fuck 🎉 incredible
You matter, Sam! 😂❤
0:16 "And we are... SAD!" lol
Love these reactions!!
Every time Dani talks❤️❤️❤️
Im so excited for season 2 hoping ellie pick her weapon just like in the game a bow and arrow pistol rifle shotgun.
Say, have you heard that the Voice Actor of Tess in the Game has passed?
21:35 People who have played the game vs those who haven't.
*Its like playing on grounded mode*
Damn they're more scary than in the game!
big storm coming for you too @dani
You’re in for more of a ride than you might think.
Sam has the best reactions
She had her kiss goodbye, alright?
Fun fact, the average human body temperature has been decreasing for the past 150 years
Can't wait for next episode
Well, you wanted a kiss goodbye.
Honestly can’t wait for your reactions to the third episode!!! I love this!!!
