It would be an interesting experiment however since he played game 1 before the show I think he should play game 2 before season 2. Either way works and adds something to the channel!
Even thinking about the story now I'm feeling a LOT of emotions that hit me almost as personally as if real life. Truly the greatest storytelling masterpiece I can recall in my life. Whether it was what we wanted or not
3:55 It will be. They already confirmed that the show is running for Emmys 2025. And the show's first 6 episodes have to air before May of 2025 to be in the awards season. So i expect it to be January 2025.
I feel like it's worth noting that the showrunners have said season 2 will not fully cover everything in TLoU Part 2 and that it will take 2-3 seasons to fully tell Part 2's story- meaning the show won't cover fully cover Part 2 until at least the end of season 3 which is however many years away. It'd be nice to have someone going in blind but if Aaron doesn't play the game, he won't get the full story for another 3+ years at the earliest.
which makes the scenes that look like the porch scene seem out of place. That happened at the end of the game... why would they have it in this first season for the second game? It's such an impactful scene because it happens so late in the game. To have it earlier would ruin it's impact
It’s such a breath of fresh air hearing from other people that loved Part 2. It’s my favorite game of all time. Like they said… it was probably the most memorable experience I’ve ever had playing a video game
The biggest problem of part 2 is that the barebones plot details leaked beforehand, so many people made up their mind to hate it before it even released.
This is already gonna be even harder to watch than the game. It feels heavier and its for sure gonna be sad asf. PLus i f you played the game it looks shot for shot.
3:40 HBO has said TLOU season 2 will air in the first half of the year. They apparently want it to be eligible for the Emmys next fall, so it would have to air or start airing before May 31.
Can't wait! This was in my opinion, the best video game adaptation to any media I've ever seen! Very excited how Season 2 will bring to the legacy that is "The Last of Us." 🙂
@@rayromano6249 “SEXIST”!!?!?! Oh yes ofc we hate it for that specific reason. NO WE DO NOT!!! We hate because of one specific scene and one unforgivable monster that still breathes…ABBY 😡.
Aaron you should play the game! It's soooo good! Also it would be great to have you all know the story so you can discuss the episodes without worrying about spoiling Aaron
@LaCheeserie staying away from the comments is easy. But if they start discussing spoilers in their reactions (they're usually good at not doing that), I would avoid watching their reactions altogether.
I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one who absolutely loved Part 2 and praised the game for being one of the best sequels ever made to an otherwise 10/10 standalone story game. I am still of the opinion that the world wasn't ready and that with time, it will grow on people.
January is my bet. They are on track with how they promoted season 1. 2nd trailer probably early December for a mid January release date just like season 1.
I even remember what happened in the first season as it was so long ago. I assumed that it would be out in a couple of months. Remember the days when you would get shows that had 20 episodes per season year after year? I miss those days! 😪
I agree with Eric, I almost don't want to watch it because I can anticipate the heartbreak. Simultaneously I have watched their reaction to 1x3 more times than I want to admit and cried each time so...
The scene that usually got me in the game was the one with Joel strumming his guitar on the porch and Ellie shows up to chat to him, if you know you know
Everyone got hyped about Fallout (deservedly) but this is still the superior adaptation imo. In terms of faithfulness they're both 10/10, but TLoU is extremely compelling emotionally.
It's so hard to say! And I agree with Calvin, it really is up to Aaron and what he feels like his best experience would be. That being said, I was really happy that Aaron didn't go on to play part 2 right away, simply because I know that the second season will be a very memorable television experience for anyone who has not. I think him going in blind is a great idea, as far as objectively for the reaction's sake. I am so excited!!!!!!! lol.
Part 2 is one of the finest pieces of media in any medium. Its pure perfection from start to finish, the way they take you through emotions is so damn wild.. It was only after finishing the game to where I thought back in how the game made me feel.. And holy shit, there's nothing like this experience.. But if you're not into dark content, well its realllly dark.
During my first playthrough, in the end of Part 2 there's a last fight between two characters at the beach, knee-deep in water. The game forces you to fight and I didn't want to win. I kept failing and saying "they must stop this revenge bullshit, I don't wanna do this". Then I went through it against my will and the character ends up winning the fight but sparing the life of her foe. This is how far the game took me. The story is written to make you give a second thought before killing an enemy in a video game, by the end I was already doing it automatically.
I watched Season 1 first. Played the games (both of them) 2nd. I love them both ❤ The game is excellent. The show is also excellent. I'm looking forward to Season 2.
I think we'll get the flashback, but we'll end on that reveal on her Dad being the doctor, but the you wasted it will be where we leave the present for Season 2.
I read a theory that Abby was seen in Season 1 running away when Joel is shooting up the hospital. Actually having her almost get killed by Joel the day he killed her dad could increase her hatred of him.
As soon as this started, especially with THAT song, I felt the tears building. I know I’m going to be an emotional wreck when this drops. It looks like they’re being VERY faithful to the second game, so a certain scene is probably going to be exactly the same too. I hope no-one spoils it for Aaron, whether he plays the game before hand or not.😭
The only issue with not having everyone on the same page is that you can't discuss everything openly, but it would be a really interesting dynamic to keep Aaron blind to the game and just absorb the show for what it is. The show will be in two parts, so if he doesn't play the game, it will be quite a while before he can if he wants to keep the same dynamic to the first part of season 2.
It’s gonna come out before next summer. They want to be able to get nominations for the Emmys in the fall.. they’re not gonna wanna wait till the next Emmys in 2026 😅
Have to say, that trailer was way better than expected. Played the game an embarrassing amount of time. I actually Teared up watching that. Curious about the Joel on the Porch scene. More chronological?
First-Bella and Pedro BOTH need those Emmy awards! Love the addition of Joel seeing a therapist. Having him doing the work/tackling his demons, and then feeling hopeful about repairing his relationship with Ellie (with the change of having that final conversation in S2), only to then have that chance violently taken away by Abby, will make it more painful I think. Same with Ellie..that’s where a lot of her anger came from, angry at herself for not forgiving Joel sooner, and losing that chance to rekindle that relationship. Knowing Bella and Pedro’s close friendship off-screen will for sure add to the heartbreak. ❤️🩹
But I liked the porch scene being so late in the game. To spend the whole game thinking Ellie is going after abby just for revenge and being upset he was killed to then learn after everything that they had talked and were going to work towards reconnecting makes what happened to them so much sadder. Ellie is mad that her ability to forgive Joel was taken from her. It and also adds a small bit of bittersweetness to know they had at least had this moment before everything went to hell after spending the whole game thinking she hated him.
Play the game now. It's perfection. Let's hope the show does as good a job - it likely will based on the incredible job HBO did with season one. But when a game is this good it should be experienced now before the show and the internet spoil all its magic.
I think it would be nice to have Aaron's perspective before he played the game. As Calvin said, nothing stops him from playing the game later, but having this fresh take from one of you could be interesting! Either way - very excited!!
the main problem with that is its not gonna cover the whole second game. So he'd have to decide again if he wants to play it before season 3 or wait potentially multiple years
as much as I love the show and they are nailing it....I think you should experience Part 2 with the original actors in the game first because its def something special. But, I do also agree it'd be interesting to have the other perspective.
A dream come true for real gamers. Thanks MAX , A D ALL THE CAST OF THIS SHOW . THIS IS NOT FOR TOXICS. ONLY REAL PEOPLE LIKE GAMES AND SEEING THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE
I’m curious I don’t even think they’re going to get to Seattle in this season. I think they’re going to do all the back flashes and everything leading up to Joe’s death
I like Calvin actually enjoyed part II more than Tlou part I, I think it would be cool for Aaron to come into the show without any idea of where the show is going but if he decides to play part II first I'll be there and I think experiencing Tlou through the game is just as good as the show if not more! Super excited either way & can't wait 💪
I’d argue aaron should play the game either before the show or play along. That way he has both experiences and can be in discussions of what they did right/wrong. If any scenes were changed or removed. It’s all for discussion time and doing both would help.
Can you guys clear something up for me. The trailer shows a massive horde headed for Jackson, but that didnt happen in the game. Thats exactly why Dina, Ellie, Jessie and the others patrol, so that they didnt bunch up. Is that supposed to happen in Part 3, or is this a different take on it
Aaron, as someone who hasn’t played the second game yet either, stay blind. I want to feel the excitement with you, my man! Play it after, that’s what I will do.
I think Aaron should go into season 2 blind, but i do believe he should step out for maybe the last part of the discussions so you can discuss spoilers from the game. I would also love to watch Aaron play Part 2 on stream!
I feel like the therapy sessions with Catherine O'Hara's character will take up most of this season, sonce HBO said they're splitting up TLOU2 into S2 and S3. So my guess is that this season's finale will be Abbey doing the thing, so HBO needed to pad the runtime since it happens fairly early in the game.
Should Aaron try to play The Last of Us Part 2 before Season 2 airs, or expeirence the story for the first time in the tv show?
Play it
Don't play the game, watch the series first then play the game.
It would be an interesting experiment however since he played game 1 before the show I think he should play game 2 before season 2. Either way works and adds something to the channel!
First time for the show for sure. The impact on the show would be far greater.
Yes. That would be a good idea
The tears will flow once again!
I upvoted this as a European old man who never played the game, was unaware of a second season coming, and really liked the first season.
Saw a LOT of scenes they copied from GOT in here. “Thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did”
No tears this time, the writers said joel will be fine.
@@DanMannyy HAHA That’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard. I just know Drunkman is going to play with our feelings again because he enjoys it.
Already are. TLOU2 is my favorite game and after I finished watching this trailer, I just started sobbing remembering the story.
The Last Of Us Part 2 is the hardest I have ever cried at any game, movie or tv show in my life. So this show is going to absolutely break me.
yeah, TLOU P2 and Life is Strange got me so crying so hard
The Last Of Us Part 2 and RDR2
By the end, you're just a wreck
Even thinking about the story now I'm feeling a LOT of emotions that hit me almost as personally as if real life. Truly the greatest storytelling masterpiece I can recall in my life. Whether it was what we wanted or not
I did TLOU 2 and Ghost of Tsushima back to back. Emotional nightmare x')
3:55 It will be. They already confirmed that the show is running for Emmys 2025. And the show's first 6 episodes have to air before May of 2025 to be in the awards season. So i expect it to be January 2025.
If the first 6 needs to be out by May then it could be feb or march
It'll be fiest quarter for sure.
We are so ready for this. Many tears will be had. Jeffrey Wright as real-world Isaac is tremendous too.
Isaac Dixon, the WLF leader who took over 2 people who led the rebellion in Seattle against FEDRA after they died.
1:35 the sound/music ringing at this part is the exact same as THAT SCENE in the game!
And when Ellie kills some certain people.
That's all I could see when I heard that ringing. Oh mann those chills are back!
The reaction to THAT sound cue from people that have played part 2 🫣😭😱😭😡😡😭😭🤬😭😭
I'm not ready for this. Saw the guitar and immediately wanted to cry. That scene from Part 2 is so clear in my mind.
I don’t think I’ll be able to cope. Part 2 has grown so much on me over the years.
I feel like it's worth noting that the showrunners have said season 2 will not fully cover everything in TLoU Part 2 and that it will take 2-3 seasons to fully tell Part 2's story- meaning the show won't cover fully cover Part 2 until at least the end of season 3 which is however many years away.

That might be a good thing. Give time to do some things better than the game.
I assume that will mean that thing will happen in the season 2 finale.
@@smittyjjensin558 you could be referring to many things with that lol

@@spheromancer_ couldn’t agree more. It probably wouldn’t be so hated had people not heard the leaks and just played it for themselves
It's in my top 3 for sure.
Also...
And this will get some hate...
Abby is kind of a great character and love her 🤷♂️
This is already gonna be even harder to watch than the game. It feels heavier and its for sure gonna be sad asf. PLus i f you played the game it looks shot for shot.
I don't remember the invasion part
@@remyd8767The horde invasion did happen, but not directly on Jackson. So that's new.
The lingering on Joel at the end is such a tease lol
@@remyd8767 it’s teased at the beginning of the game but nothing really comes out of it
@@landhoproductions6365 I mean, that did play into what happens at the beginning of the game, so it wasn't nothing.
Part 2 is one of the greatest games ever. Very few games have challenged me so emotionally.
AHHH!!!! So excited. Beautiful editing, Flynn!
the sound thats playing throughout the trailer....we all know that sound! such a fucking genius move to play that instead of music!
ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!
3:40 HBO has said TLOU season 2 will air in the first half of the year. They apparently want it to be eligible for the Emmys next fall, so it would have to air or start airing before May 31.

Well said. The minority of ppl who hate the game are mostly sexist losers. The game won goty 2020 and got 10s all across the board
@@rayromano6249 “SEXIST”!!?!?! Oh yes ofc we hate it for that specific reason. NO WE DO NOT!!! We hate because of one specific scene and one unforgivable monster that still breathes…ABBY 😡.
Joel wouldn’t go to therapy on his own but he would for Sarah or Ellie🥹
@@garyprime6983 What kills me is the possibility that this might happen after a certain point.
So hyped
most anticipated show of 2025, period!
Aaron you should play the game! It's soooo good! Also it would be great to have you all know the story so you can discuss the episodes without worrying about spoiling Aaron
And potentially spoil it for the people who watch their channel and haven't played the game.
@@olivianpopescu4586 sadly those people need to stay away from comments in any reaction channel

@@olivianpopescu4586 Hopefully if they feel compelled they have a separate spoiler section at end of those videos
I’m crying. I can’t wait bro, like I honestly can’t wait.
I felt a rush of emotions and buried trauma just watching the teaser. OMFG I CAN'T WAIT!
I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one who absolutely loved Part 2 and praised the game for being one of the best sequels ever made to an otherwise 10/10 standalone story game. I am still of the opinion that the world wasn't ready and that with time, it will grow on people.
I love that they used the window for II at the end.
this trailer just came in swinging 😁
Part 2 is my favorite game of all time.
Pearl Jam - Future Days is one of my favorite songs, so beautiful
Bro I literally got chills seeing everyone and the scenes from the beginning of the game
January is my bet. They are on track with how they promoted season 1. 2nd trailer probably early December for a mid January release date just like season 1.
The joined excitement when jeffrey wright popped up is why i love this channel
I cried watching this trailer and i rarely ever cry watching just a trailer..
I even remember what happened in the first season as it was so long ago. I assumed that it would be out in a couple of months. Remember the days when you would get shows that had 20 episodes per season year after year? I miss those days! 😪

The song thats playing is the song that joel sings in the start of the game
Which is funny considering that the song was released in 2013 when the apocalypse started in the game but ten years after it started in the series.
Im not crying😢
Yeah i don’t know if i’m ready for this.. looks absolutely incredible tho one again
Here we go Death returns and the wolves are out to leave some scars
The crew should hang a golf club alongside the other weapons in the back for the reactions
That’s cruel….they should do it 🌚😭
That subtle use of the background ringing sound during one of part 2's infamous scenes, in this trailer after Abby shows up.
It's so hard to say! And I agree with Calvin, it really is up to Aaron and what he feels like his best experience would be.

Count me as another person who thought part two was better than part one. And this trailer definitely looks like it’s doing it justice.
Imagine the season ends with, "we let you both live, and you wasted it!"
That'd be AWESOME.
I think we'll get the flashback, but we'll end on that reveal on her Dad being the doctor, but the you wasted it will be where we leave the present for Season 2.
What a great trailer this was
Your reaction to Jeffrey Wright was everything for me 😂
They did such a good job of making Bella look older!🎉🎉
Oh Ellie... they should be terrified of you.
I read a theory that Abby was seen in Season 1 running away when Joel is shooting up the hospital. Actually having her almost get killed by Joel the day he killed her dad could increase her hatred of him.
I also like part 2 more than I did part 1. For me both games was masterpieces can't wait for season 2.
They did reveal it will air before award season so expect January or February
i dont know why i want emotional damage again but i cant stop myself i have to watch it.

is no one gonna talk about how GOD SPOKE TO THEM AT THE END ???

Its going to be before May to get inside the Emmy window.
It’s gonna come out before next summer. They want to be able to get nominations for the Emmys in the fall.. they’re not gonna wanna wait till the next Emmys in 2026 😅
Its so interesting to see the evolution of combat from uncharted 1 to tlou 2. This is gonna be wild.
I was on the edge of crying in this trailer. So if that’s how I feel in the trailer then I’m not ready.
Have to say, that trailer was way better than expected. Played the game an embarrassing amount of time. I actually Teared up watching that. Curious about the Joel on the Porch scene. More chronological?

cant wait for the older generations to be as devided about this season as we were

I think Aaron should go into season 2 blind, but i do believe he should step out for maybe the last part of the discussions so you can discuss spoilers from the game. I would also love to watch Aaron play Part 2 on stream!
