Look for the Light | The Last of Us Ep 9 Reaction 

And thats a wrap! For those interested Sheera and I are now pretty deep into our playthrough of TLOU 2 and loving it so far!

Sheera and Roshi talking about casting a newborn babies while Lupa wiping them tears 😂

“Time heals all wounds…” “It wasn’t time that healed it.” The unspoken "it was you" was amazing. That hit hard 💯

the way joel talked about ellie and sarah…. joel forgets that sarah would be 34. she is eternally young in his memory, frozen in time and never to grow past the kid he only ever got to know her as. i still think they’d be good friends though.

Seeing Joel go through the hospital is like seeing The Terminator go through the police station.

14:38 had me rolling "Marlene throwing the papers up like HE'S ONE MAN" 😭

Roshi: “You good?” Lupa: “Yep” Also Lupa: **proceeds to very much not be good** 😢😅🥰

Neither one of them let her choose what she wanted to do because Marlene couldn’t take that chance of her saying no, and Joel couldn’t take that chance of her saying yes. Marlene would’ve had tried to force her to do it, and Joel would’ve killed everyone STILL so she wouldn’t do it ☠️

So in a way Ellie is kinda like Blade, since both their moms got bit while pregnant and as a result their offspring gained "perks".

Man, when you realize that the reason why Joel’s hearing on his right side is bad is because he missed when he tried to shoot himself just makes it even more heavy

I’m surprised no one brought the comparison with Ellie’s mom getting bit and her kinda sorta being half clicker half human with blade. Blade became half human half vampire due to his mom being bit while she was pregnant with him.

13:36 the way Roshi jumps after Joel shoots that soldier in the left nut 💀

14:38 "HE'S ONE MAN!'" 😂😂😂 Y'alls commentary through the hospital massacre killed me!

They had OG Ellie as Ellie's mom and they got Laura Bailey to reprise her role as one of the nurses since she was one of them in the 1st game

Ellie is still traumatized from the last episode. Thats why she's so quiet.

Nahhh Roshi was quick with that “who’s Moreen?”😭😭💀💀 foul play sir!

Fun Fact: One of the nurses is played by Laura Bailey, who not only voiced the actual nurse assistant from the game but a character - who I won’t say, for spoiler reasons - but a character that has a very important in the overall story of The Last of Us.

I'm surprised you guys figured it out but yeah that's Ashley Johnson she is the voice actor for Ellie as well as Pike from critical role/vox machina So she actually is the voice of a lot of your childhood playing a absurd amount of video game characters and TV shows. Also fun little Cameo even I didn't notice at first one of the nurses was Laura Bailey who plays Abby in last of Us 2 and is Vex from vox machina and critical role.

It was a 9/10 series , everything was great , i was expecting horror, jump scares Moment but the emotional rollercoaster was so freaking amazing can't wait to see season 2

As someone who gave birth twice, once without drugs 😭, I appreciate the varying birth scenes HBO has been depicting.

Lupa crying always gets me😭😂😂

Most babies on-screen are twins or triplets so they can shoot for a full day without violating child labor laws. "It's been three hours? Bring out the other one!" Joel's tongue click at the apocalypse pun was hysterical. Love that this episode had the voice of Ellie play Ellie's mom and the voice of Abby was one of the nurses in the surgical room. Nice meta symmetry.

I wanna be very clear: Joel was not wrong for saving Ellie- he was wrong for lying to her.

I appreciate Roshi, Sheera and Lupa's honesty in that post-credits critique - you guys keeping it real all the time is the reason I always keep coming back here for more 🙌

All the sequence when Roshi turns the TV off is too much 🤣🤣

Seeing Joel tear through the hospital, executing wounded and people who are surrendering, really makes sense that this catches up to him later.

The thing that Ellie was never given was a choice. If Marlene and Joel gave her that choice for the surgery, so much pain would have been prevented. 🙁

Fun fact. The actress that played her mom/ voiced Ellie in the game also voices Pike from The Legends of Vox Machina.

Didn't dawn on me how Ellie and Rikey's bond almost reflects Marlene and Anna's

episode 3 was important as it foreshadowed the importance of love (as cheesy as that is it is a major theme in the story) and inspired joel to open his heart once again. in the game bill was warning of what would happen to joel if he didnt open up and let people in his life. being lonely, paranoid and having no purpose

I feel Roshi on the lack of infected but I already know they are gonna go heavy in season 2. I feel like now that we've gotten through the cure arc, a lot more action coming into place given the events of game 2. Love the reaction as always.

I literally scream when I saw the giraffes... Clearly, one of the best and most iconic scene in the game and now in the show🙌

Roshi and Sherra laughing about this baby while lupa cries is killing me 😂😂😂

Laura Bailey (Vex in Vox Machina, as well as Abby in the second game and a whole bunch of other stuff) reprised her role from the first game as one of the nurses in this episode. Made me super happy

I was totally expecting some one to make a "This is the way" joke when Joel was going on his rampage.

14:30 that was timed kinda perfectly lmao "I promise bro. Trust me bro🏳️" Joel - "💥" 💀😂😂

I totally agree. The intensity was not as strong as it could have and should have. I think they’re building up Part 2 really well. They definitely nailed the drama. But there should’ve been more trials and tribulations through the episodes.

It was nice to see Joel genuinely happy for a bit before S2 hits

I love how if you pay close attention, you can see how the first episode's title links to the last episode's. "When you're lost in the darkness." "Look for the light" Absolutely brilliant wordplay. Also, the knife that Marlene gave Joel was the one that Ellie held, so she gave him her memorabilia just as Ellie's mom gave her. I give the show a solid 8/10. Yeah some parts felt rushed or short, but overall a huge roller-coaster of emotions. I'm so glad they served an accurate adaption to the game while taking new elements and lore that makes sense because that's so rare with directors and movies. Well done, team.

Joel is basically Ellie's guardian. Even now, a kid wouldn't be able to make that big of a decision. Parents would be consulted. Even though it's be hard to grasp, I still think Ellie should have been told what was going to happen. I'm pretty sure Ellie was under the impression there'd be tests and maybe a surgery she obviously wouldn't die from. Being that young, I think it would be fair to let her grow up some more and give her the choice to think about it. This cure also is not a guarantee. Marlene said they *might* be able to come up with a cure. Joel said aht aht aht Joel gave her the most choice by bringing her to the fireflies after telling her they could just turn back but he was dead wrong for lying to her after the fact. Really a difficult situation but I don't completely fault Joel. He lost so much you think he'd be in the right mindset to let Ellie go this time? Nah

Just so you know, the voice actor for ellie was the woman who played her mother. She is also the voice actor for Pike in the Legend of Vox Machina. One of the female nurses who was crying at the end, is the voice actress for Vex from Legend of Vox Machina.

Ever since I saw this. I've been waiting to see lupa's reaction to every moment in this episode. The reaction did not disappoint.

It's good to keep in mind that EVRYONE (including Joel) took away Ellie's choice in that hospital.

When you realize you remember the OG Ellie (aka Ellie's mom) as a kid.....feel so old now...

Don’t usually watch reaction videos, but I loved your guys series on this show. 8/10 is pretty accurate scoring, the lack of action did make Joel and Ellie’s bond feel a little rushed. Producers already said season two will have more infected so hopefully season 2 has even more impact.

Lupa crying at the most random moments lol

15:33 My man really saw a guy with a shotgun and picked up a scalpel in response.

Every time I watch y’all’s reaction, I am AMAZED at the quality of your intro!! I love it!! It SLAPS

roshi's take is basically flawless. amazing show. a beautifully crafted vehicle for more people to learn about this story. where the hell are the infected lmao

I love how accurate the ending is from the game. The scene, the lines, and even the emotion, it was freaking amazing. I can't wait for the next season.

That definitely was a real giraffe they had in that scene. There’s behind the scenes of how they filmed it. I’m so glad they used a real animal, it makes the moment even more special

Trivia: Romi Park voices Marlene in the JP dub of both the game and the series which brought back most of the VAs. In other words, we lost two Romi Park-voiced characters this March. First Hange in AoT, now this.

6:55 the Peaky Blinders music 🤣🤣

I never expected more action from the show because the story was always the focus and the second part of the story is where the action means more to the story.

*Walter White screaming from the car* NOOO JOEL DONT DO IT. DONT KILL THE DOCTOR

You guys reaction to this is what I’ve been waiting for all morning 😭❤️❤️

This episode made me realize why Reilly was assigned to the mall, Marlene did it to test Ellie. Why send a rookie to guard bombs and stuff otherwise.

I like when you guys are shocked by "gunshots" haha. 😆

If I'm remembering right, there were a total of 2 infected after episode 5: the one that bit Riley and Ellie in ep7, and the one at the start of ep9 that bit Anna. Relevant to what Roshi said at 21:59

It is really fun watching your reaction video guys. It is giving me the "I am watching with my friends vibes". Specially when you guys are making jokes while watching, it really makes me happy as well to the point that I was able to forget all my problems. If I am only not poor I will surely be one of your Patreon. Thank you for uploading videos here in RU-vid. Praying for more blessings to come for you guys.

Great episode and great reaction! The giraffe was real! There’s a behind the scenes picture of it online

Even knowing what happens, that was still tough to watch. I’ve always been super conflicted on Joel’s decision and seeing it again in the show made me hate his decision even more. Although it’s more understandable when I think about them not giving Ellie the choice either even though we know what she’d say.

12:00 Well, even tho infected didn’t recognize Ellie as non-infected, it didn’t stop them from attacking and trying to rip her apart so that “cure” would only stop creating new infected while still decreasing what little human population there is

Just found y'all's channel through Last of Us, love y'all's energy, have subscribed! Definitely gonna start saying "L2-R2" whenever I watch, like, John Wick.

That hospital scene is one of the coldest scenes I’ve ever seen. So awesome.

Sheera, I totally agree that Marlene took the decision away, but in that same breath you're okay that Joel takes here decision away too. They're opposite sides of the same coin. Can't be okay with one and not the other.

You know, I do agree that the journey did seem easy if you don't count the bad people they encountered. I remember thinking the change for cordyceps to be connected was a very scary change but it never went anywhere.

So... Ellie's immunity come's from combining shrooms with DMT? nice to know I'm already immune

Always nice to see Pike from Vox Machina in live action. 🤪

Episode 3 is arguably the most important as bills letter told Joel about their purpose for life which is to protect the ones we love.

I love how they some how built that emotional attachment that between ellie and joel that you build with ellie in the game as joel

This channels running info graphics and intro animations and pre show slide shows are S tier

This episode was solid. The only thing I was missing was the infected in the tunnel. But Joel doing the murders in the hospital and you can see the body count, kind of made up for the lack of infected in this episode. And when they played the music at the end felt like the end of the game. I said to a close friend of mine "Omg, we made it to the end of the game!!" This has been one of the best game to live action adaptation I've seen in a very long time. I am curious how they're gonna do game 2 in season 2 and/or season 3 if there is one.

the Sheera clap got me so bad LMAOO

Lupa:- You pressed "R2" so fast, I lost at that point 😂

Ashley jhonson is Ellie, in the games. Ashley Jhonson also is Pyke from Vox Machina.

Joel really went the genocide route 😂

Y’all realize that no matter what Ellie was the type of person to do the surgery regardless of the fact that she would die and Marlene knew that so she just didn’t want her to have to be scared during the procedure when she already knew what her answer would be

Crazy how such a deep emotional scene becomes a comedy with these guys

I love the way they break down the show cause it’s like u can’t disagree ❤😂

9/10 show for me! I would like a little bit more of horror moments but they nailed the characters and emotional bits of the story

Yes I would agree 8/10 for the show it was entertaining. Great reactions

Eren when Joel was in the staircase being escorted: "What are you doing Joel? Have you forgotten why you're here??, tatakae"

yooo..your editor be doing the most. im dyiiiinnng LOL

top-quality television show with a strong narrative and very compelling characters. the best live-action recreation of a videogame. ❤🔥 Super excited for Season 2

Abby’s voice actress was one of the nurses in the surgery scene!

Have to agree with Roshi! They spent so much time in the first 2 episodes building the infected up and we really only get 2 major encounters with them (the Boston Museum, and Kansas City). I know a 1:1 adaptation is impossible but they could have definitely fit at least 2 more important encounters with infected swarms from the game (the swarm at the Colorado university, and the one they face in the tunnel before running into the Fireflies at the very end). It's hard to make zombies scary again, and TLOU (the game) did that! It really a shame we didn't get to see more of them. This is a show that definitely needed more episodes at least 2-3 more, not only for more Zombie action but to let some of the other plots really breathe. Like the way they did the Kansas City arc in 2 eps was great, David's cannibal town could have really used an extra episode to really enhance the story, not just from Joel and Ellie's perspective but from the townsfolk (there was way more to the relationship between Troy Barker's character and David which could have really been explored). The biggest indictment that episode 3 was pure fluff/filler is that in the season recap before episode 9 there is almost no shots or scenes from that entire story line. Great individual episode, and if the series was an anthology it would be more justified, but it just ultimately didn't add anything to Joel and Ellie's story, or character development.

I was watching yah channel to see this reaction. It was such an amazing episode and I’m commenting before I watch the reaction so I hope yah really like it.

Ellie was in no position to make that kind of decision at this time. She was obviously dealing with recent trauma and guilt. That's what Joel said what he did about being so unafraid and ready to die. This Ellie was ready to die, but what about the Ellie in a few years? Joel just bought her some time, is all.

I felt as though we needed 10 eps maybe 12 to get what Sheri is saying at 26:07

The first scene is Ashley johnson, also known for the series Blindspot, and voice of Pike in vox machina... not only a voice actress but also did motion capture for ellie in the whole game together with troy baker

good take on the series as a whole. loved y'all reactions. played the og on ps3. 2nd playthrough with the new ps5 version now.

Ashley Johnson did say they actually used real babies for this scene ... like what ...

The infected almost seemed like they werent a threat anymore in the world. Only existing for plot points. The season also needed to be at 10 episodes with the Kansas City double episode being one. Probably some other minor criticisms but those fixes would have been huge. They also should have added in the gray area from the game where the doctors gave a mild impression that their attempts for a cure werent working, to give joel a better gray area for the final conflict. Also can't believe they didnt let the doctor say "but I also have a daughter" for setup season 2

"bro you pressed R2 so fast!" literally loled xD

Ellie giving birth to ellie is crazy, and love it

Y’all getting back on “you” part 2 is going crazy

Im actually hoping a small scene for Abby in the end or something, maybe after credit we see Abby go in to the operating room, then dark, end of part 1

I'm sure y'all already know this but the voice actress from the game who plays Ellie (Ashley Johnson) plays Ellie's mom in this, but you also know her from the Legend of Vox Machina -- she's Pike Trickfoot!

NOT THE BOMBACLOT!!!! LMAOOOO I CANT BREATHE!
