HBO's The Last of Us is Subtle Propaganda 

I feel like what they were trying to go for with that whole scene at the Firefly Hospital was proving how formidable Joel still was despite how frail he’d frequently appeared throughout the show. Whilst game Joel was always aggressive and a force to be reckoned with, show Joel was consistently more vulnerable and appeared more weak throughout. I’m guessing the way that he easily pushed through the Fireflies was meant to be some big reveal about how “badass” Joel can actually be. Whether or not it worked would probably depend on how someone feels about Pedro’s performance as Joel in comparison to Troy’s.

@qaaman This. I didnt think I would beat the game at that point. But I buckled down, died a lot, and finally made it through. I'm not watching that stupid show. They should leave original stories alone. To me what you described is like making Kratos weak and defeating his enemies by using kind words instead of rage... What ever happened to having a good story for a story's sake and not some stupid emotional message that no one cares about...

That's true if you're not playing on survivial difficulty. On survival stealth is your only option. If i remember corectly i killed nobody (except doctors lol).

My game crashed and I lost all the weapons and items, thank god the chapter was unlocked. I had to do the last level with no weapons. I had no internet back then so i couldn't download the patch.

@@shockshplock3480 Yes, Joel in the show is comically emasculated and is a totally different character. Him being such a worthless, spineless wimp makes the ending even more nonsensical because he's such a pushover.

Druck is sick, and wanted his sick Sillicon Valley dystopian nightmare fantasy imprinted to the masses of consumers. Meanwhile knowing that virtue signaling the woke mob will grant publication rights to fulfill the overhead to create the franchise in the first place. They have to appeal to you sheeple to remain relevant. And have to appeal to those with money in Video Games to produce the game in the first place. It's slimy, like everything.

@@shockshplock3480 its a bot.

Bro I find your comment on so many of the channels I watch

Didnt the fireflies flashbang Joel and Ellie and abduct them in the show? Seems like that scene is far worse in the show than opposed to the game where they find them with Ellie already unconscious and Joel freaking out.

Shoe horned in propaganda.

I was so annoyed at that too! Ok whatever you want to be dumb and cast to go with the trends whatever. I personally do really like Pascal as Joel and whatever that’s me. But they rushed through the best parts, had absolutely NO CLICKERS nor good fights, when you finally see Ellie in the game really showing her bad ass skills they also skipped through all of that…

Because they were never interested in telling a story. They were only ever interested in pushing progressive agendas. The whole show is just a platform for that, not a story.

Critical grifter strikes again

If the one single group that can create a vaccine is willing to sacrifice a child on the basis of a theory that their plan **might** be borderline effective at providing immunity... Then there isn't any humanity left to save, at least not in that portion of humans. The first game showed Joel struggling with his decision. Which, ironically enough, what he decided to do can be argued to be one of the greatest displays of humanity. Saving that little girl who started out as "just cargo".

Lmao but they knew of others like ellie so technically he didn't doom anybody. He did what any father would do and save his lesbain daughter

We are supposed to believe that a rag tag group of terrorists are supposed to make a cure for freaking zombies when it's been 4 years since 2020 and the entire world hasn't been able to find a cure for Kung flu, despite having infinitely more resources than the fireflies could even dream of, including access to hundreds of millions of people who are immune to it , many of whom died of other causes and had thier brains dissected and examined from top to bottom. The idea that Joel was selfish and the fireflies could've ended the apocalypse is just pure BS. It's even crazier that the FIRST thing the fireflies wanted to do was kill the only known person immune to the disease lmao, talk about killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

I hated how much they butchered the sewer system The entire gym scene Ellie defending Joel How Ellie gets her first gun Tess's death Sarah's death The cannibal raiders I guess the short qnswer would be how they ruined every single aspect from the video game

@@hometownhero2500 Ye, it could have been really nice where all of them would fight Bloater similar to the scene in Mad Max (2015) where all the women fought Max, it would be hella dope if in the middle of the fight they would switch places and Bloater would be trashing them around till one of them would set it on fire or they would all gank on him and slash him to pieces.

@@roluevasreisa5730 Dont forget the entire part about how the cannibals implied they wanted to do "more" with Ellie till they figured out she was infected, that part was also removed.

@@XiaoyuuuYT most people would not sacrifice their child for a possible vaccine. The creators even said during play testing of the original game 100% of parents sided with Joel, and 50% of non-parents.

@@LibertarianDude99 well just wait for season 2

Anti white 😂😂😂😂😂😂

What wrong with being scared and traumatised? Men can be emotional to not everyone is a right winger who closes off all emotions

@@danloveshistory Joel isn't just traumatized. He didn't just see one person die or have to kill one person. He has lived for twenty years in a brutal, unforgiving landscape. Psychologically, that has a tremendous effect on someone's personality. He doesn't close off his emotions out of some social necessity, he closes them off because his circuits have been deadened by decades of overuse. Kill one person and it's horrifying. Kill thirty and it becomes routine. Watch one person die and it's traumatizing, but after a hundred you get used to it. The minds ability to adapt is horrifying, and after twenty years, Joel's personality warps and changes to fit his environment. That's a well understood concept of human psychology, noted heavily by veterans of extensive combat. You can see it in their memoirs and interviews. It usually isn't until they return from combat and enter the 'normal world' that this attitude shifts, which usually results in severe PTSD. In a world like the Last of Us, the 'normal world' doesn't exist anymore. given that, I think it's unrealistic that Joel is as emotional as he's depicted in the show. The game has a more realistic depiction of what extensive male trauma looks like.

@Terrag joel had recently just seen a guy take his own life. we can assume that watching episode 9 it brought up bad memories from the first few days after outbreak day. He also freezes almost letting the daughter like figure in his life Ellie die. We also see joel have what I assume is a panic attack after seeing someone who looks a lot like Sarah. Yeah, he's lived though up to this point, but over time, it takes a tole

@@terragthegreat175 There are many ways that male truam can manifast, and that includes being overly emotional in some situations.

wtf did you really just suggest that they thought yelling would be too upsetting!? The previous episode ended with a child being shot and then their brother killing himself and you think they saw yelling as too upsetting? Wow

Modern Hollywood won’t ever show a man being strong and competent. They have to prop up Ellie becoming a “strong independent” woman. Also the bond between them has to come across as weak as possible so that nobody cares when they kill him off next season. Modern Hollywood is too predictable

I’m not even surprised they didn’t make Joel the same tough and hardended survivor from the game solely since he is a masculine man Same way Halo didn’t include Srg Johnson despite having their “token” black man there. He is too masculine for Hollywood

yall ready for the Live Action Tetris Film ?

I played the game from ps3-5 and the story still gets me. Joel is sopposed to be a hard ass that fights for survival and Ellie is the one that goes from being a girl to a proficient confident fighter only from experiences shared between the two. But we don't get that from the show. The show just feels wooden and we never really get any reason that the two should care for each other

It's almost like gameplay encounters and length of a game helped form that connection...

there's lore you can grab in the Uni that actually disproves that. They're science logs that suggest a cure ended in failure.

It's more of a "what if Ellie was the one key they needed" though.

True, because from what Ive played, the "cure" was less of a cure and more of a vaccine and prevention method. The infected would remain infected and a threat. But the show made it sound more ridiculous.... something about making the cordyceps think that we have cordyceps as well.... I mean, what?

He seems to forget that viruses mutate. Any cure would have been temporary

@@davidduggan1202 the thing is, it's not a virus either. It's a mutated Fungus. nothing short of genetic modification or a pesticide weapon would stop it.

No you’re right. They did it way better. Some of the acting felt really cringey like a high school play.

No you right dude the shows acting was really lacking

it must be the direction, the lines were good but it felt more like theatre than the game. idk if it's "worse" because they are of course more expressive with their faces, but their lines are more faded, the last scene doesn't feel nearly as impactful.

They're lying to virtue signal. They have no morals, let alone something as basic as integrity.

Because many movies goer not know too much about the original video games characters and story before the adaptation

Once I heard that season 1 only covers the first game and it’s only 9 episodes, I knew it was pointless. There simply isn’t enough time to cover the original game, never mind expanding on it which is the whole point of a series. Instead it’s only a cliff notes version which is pointless. You might as well just watch the cutscenes from the game on RU-vid.

The fact that two people can make a whole town safe and live for 20 years with almost no drama says it all about the world that has been made for tlou. Episode 3 showed a better life than alot live now and that's ridiculous. Don't tell me two people can co exist just the two of em and they dont get pussed off with each other also the infected should of been a major inclusion to the story .

Some argue that the first game was more character centric than zombie focused, but at least there _were_ action bits to keep you entertained.

Very true, but even part one's "a 14 year old girl goes Rambo and kills a whole camp of men by herself, including a sex pervert!" Was cringe and subversive.

@@MALICEM12 Not really. Joel's kill count is already cartoonishly ridiculous, which is kind of the point. David's men literally refer to him as a "crazy man" when they report back to David, which is a completely reasonable thing to think about a lone dude that fucking murders dozens of you almost single-handedly. Joel is not normal. Joel has an unnatural and pretty scary talent for violence. Ellie had been traveling with Joel for months by the point that players briefly control her and it's pretty safe to say that his uh... education, shall we call it? Would have rubbed off on her. She only kills like, a couple dozen dudes at most using primarily stealth, much like Joel does. A knife driving into your neck doesn't magically hurt less just because a kid is doing it. David dies because he's too full of himself to just kill Ellie and get it over with. The Last of Us is about as grounded as a game like it can be while still also basically being Gears of War. Any less combat and people would start to notice that you don't do much in the game.

@@frogglen6350 1. Demons. 2. The world is not believable on purpose, it's obviously a bit of fun that doesn't require you to understand the character's motives, a bit like Dusk Till Dawn or Mad Max. 3. Not all games are Doom. Last of Us made believable characters with believable motives. The fidelity of the characters was way more than we see in most videogames, so it did feel weird to be killing so many people. If you can't see the difference between Joel killing a bunch of people and the Doom Slayer killing demons (let me help you out there: Solid Snake killing 100s of guards is a better example), then you really are dumb.

@@frogglen6350 In fact an even better example would be Unchartered, where you kill a ridiculous amount of people but it isn't so jarring because it's obviously a camp shooter in the style of Indiana Jones or James Bond and isn't about character development but solving puzzles and doing videogame things.

@@boriscuduco Synthetic Man is a homophobe. He spelled it right out. While The Last of Us as an adaptation has a lot of problems, he and his fans are at the core reactionaries who want to regulate storytelling to fit their worldview.

u just wrote lot of nonsense just to sound smart acting as ur interpretation is how the first game has been made as

@Amarson 232 Look, ya don't HAVE to agree with my interpretation. That's the thing with Meta Narrative, not everybody agrees with it. But again, the whole point is that the show lacks the same kind of focus and we all KNOW it does.

Race swaps and the like weren't the focus. If you actually bothered to consume behind the scenes media before making this poor faith assumption you would know that the representation was always secondary to the story. Like Sam being deaf. That wasn't to just have a deaf person, it was to make Sam rely on Ellie even more, making here assume a more role of a protector, linking to the original themes of the last of us more heavily. The same reasoning can be applied to most other changes. The only exception being Sarah being black, but it doesn't matter cause Sarah's race is a really superficial element of the story. My point is, the focus is still firmly on the themes of unconditional love and grief, it just also has more positive representation, and if you don't like that your either a bigot or just stupid. Also capitalising random words doesn't make you seem smart, it's just kinda weird.

Well of course she is non-binary no men would love that face she is wearing. She has no other choice she either says she is non-binary or admit that she is ugly. You chose the former if you do not want to improve your looks.

​@@t.bo.e2487 Or they're like Chris Pratt and get backlash for it. But Chris Pratt still gets projects despite that.

funny thing now that I think about it, HBO had been making homo propaganda since the late 90s. I used to watch HBO like crazy back in the day and I always found it odd they would add homo characters and homo sex when I was sure most of the people paying did not want to watch that. It has been a long time coming.

It's how they reproduce

@@SonofTiamat the scariest thing about the homos is how they reproduce.... not really reproduce but create. I grew up in the outskirts of San Francisco and you would lose your mind if I told you how many homos told me they got abused at a young age. I always wonder if they had good childhoods with no trauma if they would have turned out straight. It is so hard to get data on this in the modern age but there was an old British data taken in either the 70s or 80s and they said in their country most homos have abuse as kids.

It was ment to entertain first most. Besides most of the people in those shows are all dead now to.

I still remember Meadow Soprano saying that Berkeley had the most Nobel Prize laureates per capita and Tony asking ‘Nobel Prizes for what? Packing fudge?’ So unwoke it makes me smile 😊

​​​​@@tahongdestroyer8472 I guess the reason why there aren't more vids like this on youtube is because most youtubers arent racist/homophobic/sexists with tiny peens and mommy issues. Who wudda thought? 🤔😮 😢

The propaganda is so blatant, and yet more and more people, such as CD, praise this crap. This is informing us that their constant propaganda pushing works. It seeps into every crack and orifice until the people that once decried it are now praising it. It is honestly pathetic. The only solution is to stop watching everything and stop being a pathetic consoomer, which isn't hard to do. It is actually very easy to do, unless you are a pathetic addict

Your game??? 😂

The game had to have you kill a ridiculous amount of people to make it a fun game. This show really could have been good, but wasn't.

@@ott6428 It needed more murder

Neither is better than the other. They are just different. Like books, video games lets you inside of the character's head. So the character's actions can be overlooked. Film and television can't do this. For example, in the Hunger Games books Katniss was far more ruthless. Because film loses the ability to get inside of the her head, there is no way they could have portrayed her this way. Same thing with Joel.

@@BlackNerdist You just proved why it's inferior to the games with that last sentence.

People who don't play video games have enjoyed the show so you're wrong about that

I thought that was just a play on words "We live in a commune, so we're communists" because if I understood it correctly, the settlers own houses and stuff, which is not what communism stands for. You dont get to own anything in a communist society. But I could be wrong. I did not enjoy the show that much, except for the last episode

@Viktor Vondoom as someone who had been in a communist country China No you don't own property You own nothing and you will be thankful or you won't exist and we will find someone who will own nothing and be greatful But if you want a more dumbed down version there is the soviet union tetris song The food on your plate now belongs to the state and we are conducting Stalins five year plan

@@viktorvondoom5950 Without more depth, it's hard to say really. I say this because "ownership" is a concept often watered-down. If you "own" your house but the "committee" decides who gets it, what you can do with it, how much food gets delivered to it, etc, then you don't REALLY own it, do you? But that's just a hypothetical; without really telling us more details, we don't know.

@BWMagus I agree. Not enough details. Regardless of whether the society was communist or not, I still think she was using communist as a play on the word "commune". It's just that it was an odd choice to include it in the script especially during this politically charged climate.

Joel supposed to be a resourceful and experienced man and yet he doesn’t what communism is. Tommy said that his community has democratically elected leader which means his community is democracy. Communism hates the concept of election and historically speaking, communist countries always imprison or murder people who want to have a free election.

But when a character is swapped from POC to white no one gaf there’s many many many examples.

An amazing coincidence

Who cares she played the role extremely well

@@rollitupmars cope

@@rollitupmars I'm sorry you struggle with reading comprehension but nowhere in my comment did I mention the actress's acting ability, I was simply sharing my thoughts about some characters remaining the race they were in the game and other characters being race swapped

@deadcoil22 Its incredibly obvious what you were implying...

Man, Joel is weaker in the show, he didn't have panic attacks in the game.😊

The normies are so dead inside, it's unbelievable

more like Abby and Joel are gonna go golfing

The people who pretend to enjoy this show draw an emotion that I can't describe properly. It's like disgust and disappointment combined.

​@@mwahahaha2100 the word normie is cringe as fuck

@@mwahahaha2100 It’s you reactionary bigots who are dead inside, as a matter of fact.

Thank you for conforming to my views.....you little bitch

Time to tell them I was born gay. And Identify as a straight person since birth.

@Kaißair it doesn't say it. It implies it. In the game it's just a gay couple, that you meet and is in the game for not even 10 min. In the show it's a straight guy who saves a gay man, that 'falls in love' ' just let it happen' was the quote. This implies a straight man starved of female affection will change his sexuality for that affection. And that is how it implies that sexuality is changeable. And that is something that LGB community has fought against.

@@user-us5dr2qi2r That’s not true at all and you know it.

@@RulerOfYore what part are you disagreeing with.. the message of the episode or that people are born with their sexualitys...

Let me guess. You're a white boy.

Did anybody honestly think the show could match the first game? Definitly not me. After what Neil Cuckman did to the second game, the franchise is dead to me.

Good. Please continue on this road. Step over - always. Cheers.

Leaves more room for the rest of us. Kindly get out of the way and stay in your lane, thanks.

It just really highlights how bad Neil is at writing. It’s no coincidence that the IP started going downhill around the DLC, because that’s when he took over as head writer. It also explains his contempt for Joel.

They even act good in the show. Troy Baker is in it. He does great.

Their (video game) performances sends chills to me. Hilarious that the hollywood actors are awful lmao

I think it's mostly direction. Pascal is being way too rigid with his tone and body language, not just in that scene but throughout the show. Joel in-game while very stoic still emotes a lot, Troy baker really gave a lot of emotion in that aspect while keeping Joel a very gruff figure. A good director would correct Pascal in this scene so that it feels like he actually has some fire get lit when Ellie brings up his daughter. I don't want to dismiss Bella entirely, you can hear some emotion in her voice and it's clear she is trying to emulate the games custscene by pushing Pedro. But the push in the games cutscene wasn't scripted, it happened because Ashley Johnson got caught up in the emotion of the scene. With proper direction i think the scene could have been pulled off half decently, which is sad.

@@a_loyal_kiwi88 That’s possible. It’s just weird how TV/Film is supposed to be “better” but the production put less effort into it. I’m willing to give Bella more leeway either way since she’s still pretty young and likely has less experience acting, along with less life experience. Compared to Ashley Johnson who was a decade older than her at the time of doing TLOU (PS3).

it's not just gays, every religion in this world reject gays for a reason. you go to dead sea today, that's what happened when a place having homo so rampant

His criticism about a short fat lady leading a group of lawless rebels in the apocalypse is pretty valid. Does that scenario really make any sense to you at all? If they wanted to have a woman as their leader then they could have at least put more effort into her design by making her look and act more badass.

@eternalcoke9007 no I totally agree they could have casted someone MUCH better for the part but he wouldn't have been satisfied if they casted some women body builder or someone with the physique of Abby he would call it "propaganda" and claim she's Trans even if they never say the character is Trans in the slightest

Sure bud

no, we liked our good story and will call boo on bad-faith changes. get used to that, defenders!

@@asarishepard8171 EXACTLY! I've said it a dozen other times but Bella is not going to do well as a grown, hardened Ellie. There's a bunch of casual SJW's trying to gas light us into accepting this HBO adaptation.

@@OTG1776 she’s not even returning for the second season as older Ellie…

@@Alltherestofus that just wrong information

The show was just like the game. I don't see that much of a difference. Yeah they removed some action scenes but it would be a waste of time for a TV show. Maybe they should have included one more scene of Elie and Joel working together fight off the infected. I'm pretty satisfied with the adaptation and I didn't mind some of the changes they made with Bill's story. I actually think it's better than the one we got in the game.

That’s exactly where I ended it too.

@@AFriendOfYours0 Just wait for a fan edit and it’ll be better. One without THE MESSAGE and a gay romance episode that had nothing to do with the main plot other than Joel getting a truck.
