We saw the Jakarta intro guys and we loved it, it was a really really good intro. We're sorry it did not make it into our final cut. this episode was very jam packed and our editors do their best to fight copyright issues and keep within the time limit for fair use. If you'd like to see our reaction to the intro it is available in our uncut reaction on patreon. Sorry again that the intro did not make it into the edit!
A few seconds was all we needed. At least a reaction to the lady saying "start bombing". Most people don't have money to spare for patreon so we rely on youtube and it's incredibly weird to leave a full sequence of 10 minutes out of your reaction. Just my honest two cents.
@@lilly25642 I totally get where you're coming from, I am going to check with the editor to see if this was a mistake or intentional. Again really sorry!
- Micky -
Going to be blunt here but you get paid for us watching so... yeah. Maybe some better communication with the editors are in order because nobody understands this choice. Well maybe mistakes made lessons learned I guess
@@jens2049 We hear you! I can only assume this was a mistake by the editor. I will see what happened and we promise to do better. - Micky -
@@Thenormies Ok, thanks! Hopefully it was a mistake and doesn't happen again because I'd hate to miss reactions of you guys to great scenes in the future. :( Cheers!
Rarely do I ever get chills while watching something like I got when the doctor responded that the only way to contain the spread is: "Bombing." That entire scene is so well done and sets in the dread this show is trying to make you feel.
Totally agree!!! So well done
I love how geeked out Mickey is me too bro😂
@@Thenormies So why didn't you show the reaction to it?
@@Thenormies why not show it??
@@artvandelay3840 They did. Say it's behind a pay wall, if that settles your tude. It's out there. No point in crying about it.
The fact that Indonesia is one of the largest flour exporting countries in the world today makes the sequence of events in the series closer to reality. Since Joel and his daughter did not eat any meals containing flour in the first episode (cakes... pancakes... cookies) and also that Joel was on a diet, it indicates that they were less likely to be infected with the fungus than the rest of the people of the area or city in Texas. During the game this sequence of events is not made clear, so I find it a great idea to include it in the series.
I totally didn't think about the fact it could spread through the flour which would have gone thousands of places and be made into thousands of things. If they're not going the spore route it being ingested is the next best option.
I think the atkins line was just an excuse to not eat their biscuits, not the truth. still a good point tho 😊
Came here to post this! I was thinking the biscuits may have been part of it in E1, but this ep with the flour factory worker sure seems to confirm it, or at least strongly imply there's a connection.
They skipped that entire scene so why are you posting like they watched it with you.
@@LesbianFiretruck You seem very upset about it, please tell us more, we're all very interested
You know they did a damn good job when the Clicker sound makes you go silent IRL.
The Clickers unlocked a core memory from a decade ago 🤐
*I don’t know how true this is, but I heard they used the same actors in the game, to play the clickers in the series and that’s why they nailed the movements so perfectly*
Perfect blend of physical acting and cgi, almost made me buss
@@kyngdavid3648 they said they used fans of the game to play the clickers
@@patriciajin6206
Is there even any CGI in the Clickers at all?
She doesn't get a second bite in the game but I'm sure they wrote it in to compare to Tess who gets bite at a similar time but it's much worse comparatively
Also to reinforce the fact that she is immune and convince Joel who was still skeptical. In the game she breaths the spores in front of Joel, and that is what sells it for him, but since we don't have spores on the show ....
@@lilly25642 Oh yes yes yes! Thank you totally forgot about that moment, super important
in the game Joel notices that she can breath spores because she doesnt wear a gas mask so it gives him a chance to believe that she cant get infected. So this is basically an alternate way for her to prove to Joel that she can't get infected.
This. I remember Tess grabs Ellies hand and yells "This was 3 weeks! Mine was only ___ hours! This is real Joel."
She got bit a second time in the second game.
The fact that a ton of the comments are about “why did you skip the intro?“ shows how masterful the writing is. These are completely original stories, and people love them.
Most chilling part is when the Mycologist said to bomb the city.. I thought for sure it would be the classic "pray". What she said was way more real.
All Resident Evil writers should watch and learn.
@@camelcase_4336
Well, she is a scientist.
@@Carabas72 some scientists also believe in God and praying
It is also because some people don’t understand how there are a lot of restrictions for editing reactions on youtube.
Damn, Rana's crafting skill tree is maxed out
fully maxed out crafting is just a Transmutation Circle.
I've decided that Rana is the one I want to be stuck with in the apocalypse.
Mickey: There you go Chris, she put an axe in it.
Chris: WE NEED A BIGGER AXE!!!
😂😂😂golden
I stand by this statement
Micky's anticipation during the museum part and grinning all the way was literally me. haha
He’s the most annoying. “Its just like the game!” Over and over and over. Like we get it
@@LesbianFiretruck you're obviously not a hardcore fan of the first game, otherwise you'd understand the reaction.
@@lilly25642 exactly, i'm a fan of the game and my reaction was just like mickey's
His joy is palpable :)
I love the fact how they made clickers so realistic, the fact that you even yourself gotta breathe without a noise...so when Ellie saw clicker for the first time and started slightly stressing out, got scared and got startled, she made just a slightly more noise just from breathing and clicker was on her...THATS SO SCARY LIKE HOLY SHIT
The "kiss" scene makes sense because the more damaged the body is the worse the potential for the host to spread the fungus, at least that's what I believe. It's like the fungus got it's host to recognize how much damage it needs to inflict based on the amount of resistance it encounters from the healthy host. Since Tess accepted her fate, we get a simple tendril transfer in what resembles a makeout sesh.
It's more so to speed her infection rate and to connect her to the hive mind.
^^^ this, came to comment the same thing. The hive mind could already sense her infection the "kiss" was just to convert her faster
Marketa and I had the same reaction to the kiss
What I heard-and I love this-is that Tess wanted to kiss Joel goodbye but she couldn’t because of her infection. She’s already connected to the hive mind at this point, and the other zombie knew her thoughts and in a way played it out for her. It gave her the goodbye “kiss” she never received.
So I listened to the official hbo TLOU podcast and I liked what Neil Druckman said about that 'kiss' at the end. Craig Mazin and Neil Druckman both said that this show is about love and its different forms, the good and the very bad sides of it. When humans deeply love each other some decide to reproduce, it's kind of an instinct because that's how our species survives and the cordyceps acts similar. It wants to reproduce so it can survive and it senses that Tess is already infected and she isn't fighting, so there is no need for the infected to fight. I dont't know exactly how the cordyceps works here, if it acts faster if the infected stay connected longer of if the infection gets stronger or whatever, but 'kissing' Tess seemed to be some sort of a friendly welcome.
It's still gross as fuck and I didn't feel good after seeing that, but I liked to see it from a more loving perspective.
I Iike how they showed the origin of the cordyceps infection. RIP Tess you legend.
Do you have to go to every reaction channel and type the same thing?
@@diezy3359 why do you care
@@mxtch29 Well, to be fair, it's very one dimensional of someone. Some people find it offensive to share valuable things like oxygen and clean water with such intellectually incapable beings.
@@diezy3359 How else will they maximize their potential for validation from others?
As someone who didn’t play the game the show didn’t give me anything to consider her “a legend”.
Literally couldn’t aim to save her life
13:00 Their joy and excitement at the introduction of the Clickers is adorable.
Damn why'd you guys cut out the entire opening. Best part of the whole epsiode :(
I think the clicker scene tops it for me, but it's a close second
fax
They pinned a comment explaining why.
I just assumed it was for the nudity - youtube's a bit squirrely about that, even if it's not graphic
@@GiantDivineMoth Yea that was my first thought too
12:45 Rana hugging her leg 🤣
I cracked up, when I saw that.
It was like seeing a little kid. 😆
Mickey geeking out was me watching the episode and I'm like they finally made an adaptation 😭🙏🏾
well done Neil Druckmann ( game creator), he directed this episode
It's already confirmed that the 1st season covers the entire first game. You can even see Joel in the hospital at the end of the game in one of the teasers!
Is it just me or is Mickey super cute?
♥️
It’s not cute it’s cringe
@@RK-cq9ci so you don't wanna be friends? ☹️
Omg you guys had the best reaction to the museum scene. Mickeys reaction had me just as giddy 😂
Micky looks so hyped for this, i don't think I've seen him express this much emotion. You can tell he's a solid fan of LOU. Big ups toko
Mickeys reaction is so precious *-*
Nah bruh he gotta stop fan girling
@@FlockOfYahwehNah this the biggest show of the year, Mickey is right.
@@FlockOfYahweh People like you are so boring lmao, why are you upset that hes having fun? Go be negative nancy somewhere else
@@FlockOfYahweh I will not. Deal with it.
@@tiktaco4391 y u so upset fairy
Mickey being so excited is adorable. I was the same way when I watched this episode.
♥️
That intro was 100% accurate! 😂
"Where did you get a drill??"
ah too bad you skipped the start of the episode. i thought that introduction of how it started was really nice extra backstory and i was wondering how you guys would react to it.
Pls, I hope Ellie tries to learn how to whistle haha! Ellie's 14... I hope they show her age more in future episodes like they did in the game. The hotel thing was a perfect example!
They did SUCH a good job with the clickers. My wife couldn't even watch so she ended up hiding behind her phone. 😂 They actually switched it up SO well. Since they switched the spores with the tendrils, they had to figure out a way to verify to Joel that she really is immune. In the game they are hiding in a subway with the spores and Ellie is breathing it in normally. Show version they give her another small bite. 👏🏾GENIUS👏🏾
As for the 2nd season DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE ANYTHING!
Rana's scream at the clicker was perfect lol
Love Rana missing Suraj for the "we need to go back!". 😄
the reason why the Clicker's movements are exact is because they are the same actors that did the motion-capture in the game. :))
You guys skipped the scientist opening?
What was the point of skipping the whole opening scene
I know, right? It's the best scene in the episode, why skip right over it?
They only skipped it on RUclips, the uncut reaction has everything
@@kevinage2332 doesnt make any sense. Its a really good opener
they have to bait people into subbing somehow. how else are react tubers going to make a living?
With the clickers, it helps that they got the same actors who voiced/motion captured the clickers in the game. Actually, for the game, many of the main actors also provided some motion capture for some of the clickers, but all the vocal sounds were made by two actors-Misty Lee and Philip Kovats-who also worked on the show.
Episode 2 was like an amazing, brilliant, horrendous ASMR video
Fr I couldnt tell if I was getting goosebumps or tingles
i know, sounds so satisfying yet horrifying
I got tingles with the clicker sound going around my head ☹
Why did they skip the intro?
I was so excited when I first heard the clicking sounds they executed the sound perfectly 👍
They rehired the clicker voice actors from the game. They didn't want to disappoint.
Its too bad you didnt include the reaction to the opening scene on YT. Its such a great back story that really adds another layer for non-game players and game players alike. I thought it might be kind of essential considering you have that kind of mix of people in your reaction crew. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan and will continue to watch your vids
The flour in the biscuit they gave to grandma in the first episode must have come from the flour company in Indonesia. That's probably why grandma turned first.
It makes sense tho, the world largest flour/wheat exporter is Indonesia, so thats why it spread like a fire around the world
@@themollucanbeast7423 Only people on low carb diets most have avoided the fungus.
@@haymaker710 the only time gluten intolerant people won😅
@@Z3firk0 and people on low carb diets.
Pedro Pascal was in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - early season 4! He's certainly no daddy there - he's a baby! 😂
I sincerely hope they don’t read your comment. It’s way more fun when it’s a surprise
Ah! You weren't suppose to talk about that. they haven't gotten there yet. I wanted to see if they recognized him.
I think the doubts have vanished the detail and passion they’ve put into this show is INCREDIBLE from what they’ve added, changed and kept from the game is just perfection
13:05 i love how everyone went quiet lol
The intro was more interesting that some momments selected.
Goddamn solid second episode!
This episode was just like the Clickers: gross, intense, creepy and amazing.
Can't wait for the Bill & Frank episode this Sunday!
I think I read somewhere that they got real cosplayers who dressed up as clickers for cons to be the ones in the show because they spent so much time mastering all of the infected animations from the game.
In the behind the scenes after the episode they said they hired fans who were dancers to be the clickers.
The clickers in the game were actors being motion-captured, and the show rehired a couple of the same actors.
They did the Clickers more than justice in this episode. The way they moved, the sounds that come straight from the game (and the same voice actors that they used). I had the same reaction as Mickey and Spidey at 12:59 when the episode aired. Also the set design and how the abandoned city looks visually. Really well done! The changes that they made from the game (Tess's moment and the Cordyceps network) are interesting changes that don't feel out of place for this adaptation. I love it. And the cast is just amazing **chef's kiss** Can't wait for episode 3. Reviewers claimed that it's the best one of the season.
They missed the intro
Bless your heart
If they watched it and decided its not important or interesting enough or something to show in this reaction I'm actually dumbfound
I dont know.
But I've seen some others do it too.
But I really like this group. I was just disappointed so I moved on.
All good though.
@@jens2049 How can you decide that's not important or interesting lol
@@jens2049 Yeah, they should be able to post the entire episode, otherwise I'm dumbfound.
What the actual fuck?
interesting you skipped the entire first part of the video where they're showing the government/scientists one of the first round of infected people. It was actually my favorite scene as it gave us insight to how the common people reacted to the situation as it unfolded.
RUclips keeps giving them copyright strikes so unfortunately they had to cut it
Oh my god get over it. Weirdo.
@@cfbg i was just observing and was curious as to why they decided to leave it out as I figured they would also have found it profoundly interesting. You're being weird for implying it was anything more than curiosity lmfao
I heard that they got some of the original clicker actors to play these guys, that’s why the movements are so on point!
I was screaming: "THROW A DAMN BRICK" the whole time 😆😆
Did you cut out the opening?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but keep an eye out for a 24-year old Pedro in S4 of Buffy, one of his earliest acting gigs.
Guys where's the intro with the scientist?
Copyright
😂 15:43
Chris: Does she get bit a second time in the game?
Micky: *turns into a clicker
its even more surreal watching it and knowing it was filmed in the city i live in and recognizing certain locationns
anyone else in that doctor's place, would have taken their family and ran. the fac that she said bomb the city, with everyone in it, and then asked to be taken home to be with her family, shows devotion to her work. she knew what this was, and didnt let ego or selfishness put the future of mankind in danger by surviving this. BIG mvp energy
At the beginning of the recaps, I keep wanting to hear Carlton Cuse say, "Previously, on LAST."
12:44 Rana holding her leg 😂😂.
'Support Foot' - Better get you one lol
24:44 - On the topic of Clickers and their hearing sensitivity: Fun fact, they have MUCH more heightened hearing on higher difficulty settings. This is to the point that they can hear you opening your backpack on Grounded mode if they are close enough to you.
Wrong Marketa. Pedro Pascal appeared in Game of Thrones before Narcos.
The intros are beyond good
The Jakarta opening is the best part of the episode. Your editor screwed up big time
They used the same motion capture actors from the game for the show that's why the Clickers were so accurate. They also had the same sound people
Actually if you play on grounded difficulty sometimes clickers can hear you from going through your inventory so that joel scene was a reference to that .
How the hell do you leave out of a reaction video the most gripping and dark intro that I've witnessed in years
Can’t wait for the Winter part
love the opening sketches you're doing!
The change of spore to tendrils was a really good change. For me, infection via spore was the least believable thing in the game for a number of reasons. Tendril infection and the tendril network makes this universe a lot more frightening while also making a lot of sense.
Trivia: The actress who played the lady scientist in the Jakarta cold open intro is Christine Hakim who is basically Indonesia’s Merryl Streep. She’s a legend in Asia’s cinema and is highly regarded as one of Asia’s best actress of all time.
Incredible second episode. Love seeing people who havent played the game experience this. Besides my dissapointing of not showing the intro, your intro to this video is great. Almost makes up for it. Almost.
"I hope you're aiming inverted!" .... 😂 ...that was great!
Love the intro skits. Wished they had continued throughout the entire journey. I ended up watching your reaction vids in somewhat reverse order, but love them all!
I absolutely love Mickey and Rana's reactions.
Mickey just grinning from ear to ear the entire time diring the museum scene.
Rana freaking out has me laughing uncontrollably. She even hugged her leg bro🤣🤣🤣🤣
you uploaded right when I got home the universe is on my side fr
The opening clip was everything! Loved it
pascal was also on buffy the vampire slayer season 1 as eddie the vampire crazy lol he was so young .
im really loving pascal and ramsey's portrayal of the characters,,, they killing it !!!!
And Offerman and Bartlett were simply divine in episode 3.
that freaking "Kiss" scene at the end was absolutely visceral, I screamed with Marketa lmao
Why'd you cut the intro?
My theory about the kiss was because she was bitten so high she was already starting to turn. As the stalkers were coming in she was already starting to freeze up and lose control thus a simple tendril transfer from one infected to another was simple. She wasnt going to fight it because her brain was already turning but she fought with her last bit of energy to set the place a blaze before it was too late. Her brain was already being taken but she had enough left in the tank to finish the job.
I've always wondered how the clicker voice actors actually do the clicking sound, and the screech too
Did you guys skip the Indonesia scene at the beginning? Or is it just not in the RUclips cut? It’s like 5+ minutes long
Okay good they mention it at 26:15, I guess it was just cut for time
Excellent episode. The Clickers look amazing. Awesome commentary. The visuals in the series are marvelous.
To answer the initial question: Pedro was in Buffy the vampire slayer as a vampire victim on season 4 episode 1
aww no reaction on the intro on Jakarta?
Absolutely love this series👏and the intro was really good lmaoooo☝️
Out of all the scenes to cut for the RUclips edit, why would your editor choose that phenomenal intro to cut completely ???
The tendril swap/kiss actually makes sense as the quickest way to get to the human brain is the mouth/nose canal. Infection would be instant compared to a bite
3:27 I would just like to say I’ve loved Pedro since the beginning and the procedural cop show you’re talking about is The mentalist, aired around 2006, 2008 . Pedro was on it for the second to last season, for some continuous episodes. Loved him since then
With your mixed couch crew of fresh eyes and gamer eyes, all your reactions were on point and precious. This is going to be a fun ride, see ya space cowboy!!!
I was ready to come in all aggro that the intro was totally skipped but I can see that message has been delivered already so I'm just happy that I'm not the only one who thinks the intros are literally the best parts of the episodes
Lol okay I'll admit that intro sequence was done really well LMAO
I love How all of you guys were absolutely silent in the Clickers scene
"Snitch wires have been snitched" is probably the highlight of this episode for me 😂
the actors that played the clikers and the makeup designers are should have a reward of this
Pedro was in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in season 4.
When the doorway collapsed the first thing that I thought was, check point! Now they have to clear this next area!
Incredible episode! I was geeking all the way through.
If you didn’t know the voice actors that did the clicker noises in the video game - Misty Lee and Phillip Kovats - also did the clicker noises for the show
you really did the “ slowly rotating guys” and “shoving buddies” from family guy
2 episodes in and this is already the best game adaption i´ve ever seen... so so well done.
