The Last of Us - Episode 1 Reaction | HBO Series 

I don't personally mind them doing away with spores. To be totally realistic, if spores were a thing in an apocalyptic situation it would be virtually impossible to survive.

I laughed because of the "I don't want to cry." "I can't believe I cried" transition 🤣

"I wasn't supposed to cry!"

Love your reaction, it was a great idea to move the timeline back to 2003 because there wasnt instant access to the internet so ppl couldnt pull up an article and instantly know whats happening, adding tension to the whole situation

great reaction! i'm so happy and excited to see how the adaptation goes from here. before the premiere i was just hoping they did it justice and now I'm convinced they're going to elevate this story even further

I like your voice. So relaxing, like ASMR

you might want to put a spoiler alert for people who haven't played the game

The Last.of Us has introduced me to SO many new and smaller channels lol Great reaction you earned a sub

You’re reaction was great. I don’t think the No spores will affect this season much, they play more of a role in Part 2 to the actual story. The only person in part 1 we see infected by spores is the guy you kill for the aiming tutorial. And they only show up in 4 places, the tunnel with Tess, The Subway after you leave the Capitol Building, The Hotel basement in Pittsburg and The Dorms at the University.

your reaction to Sarah's death was all of us, i've yet to find someone that wasn't affected

They absolutely nailed the tone of the game, which was the key for me. Druckmann's fingerprints are all over this adaptation, thank God!

That game intro song 🥰. I knew Sarah's death will be very sad but I didn't expect the original theme in the show. When the intro started, it was instant goosebumps for me. The best moment of this great episode

That explanation of how fungus works plus how it could evolve to adapt to higher temperatures because of something like global warming... That gave me chills. After watching so many zombie movies in which there's not much insight on how it would even be possible for something like that to happen, making the whole idea pure fiction, this one right here is probably the most realistic scenario on how a zombie (or whatever) apocalypse could actually happen. And I still can't believe Sarah's death always gets me.

Just like the game, the first shot is of the window with the curtain. I think everything is going to be fine with this production.

Theres somethin Daisy Ridley bout you

This is great, I love the game just as much as you do and my reaction to this first episode was quite the same (oh the music... oh the watch... oh everything) 🤩

9:25 I cried at this point like a toddler, even though I saw the scene in the game x times and knew what was happening. I was very skeptical about Pedro and Bella as Joel and Ellie. But they do it incredibly well. It feels straight out of the game. Also the others ... Nico as Sarah, Gabriel as Tommy, Anna as Tess. All done great. Merle as Marlene anyway cause it's the same actress as in the game. The fact it is 2023 at the end makes it more creepier in my opinion. It happens right exactly NOW! My conclusion after this episode: I've never been so captivated by the start of a series based on a story I know inside and out.

This exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait for the rest. No spores is fine and better for TV/movie purposes, as well as more realistic. I saw in an interview with the Showrunner/Co-Writer they changed this due to if there were spores in the air like the game, then people would have to wear masks far too often, in some cases even outside, and have to do a decontamination shower every time they encountered them. It’d be all over their clothes, which they’d all inhale after taking the mask off and become infected. Season 2 will definitely be picked up and TLOU 2 is almost twice as long of a storyline as TLOU 1. So, they’ll split that into 2 seasons. If TLOU 3 comes out before they get past 2, that’d be an additional 2 more seasons. Neil Druckman, the writer/creator/director of the game, said they will not go past the source material like Game of Thrones.

Yeeaah Anna Torv ftw! I Lost her track after Fringe and was so excited to see her again as Tess. She killed it!

Really great video 😊 Can't wait to your Ep2 video reactions!

Love your reaction so far! Excited to watch the rest along with you! I do like that they said that this was a one and done series. Something so important to them that they arent going to milk it dry and instead put their ALL into the series. So excited!

This show is not good for the people that has experience losing their kids... specially the gunshot

Shit i've done it again, why must i fall in love with every pretty girl i see? You're so fucking beautiful!

Gabriel Luna was the only cast member (not counting actors like Merle Dandridge who had actually played roles in the games)who had played and loved the games before getting hired. Its amazing that Mazin and Druckmann just let him mimic game Tommy's voice like that and I love it.

Love anyone with a passion for these games, these stories. I’m watching all these videos on your channel now.

First time watching your reactions. Wanted to say your lighting is really really pleasing. Its uber soft and and the background blur is nice. Bravo.

your voice is so smoothing, basically ASMR, amazing

Not only because of the masks the spores were removed, but because they were completely illogical from a game point of view. There is no local limit for spores. Spores simply exist everywhere. And even if they were localized, how does everyone know when to put on their masks? For this you need clairvoyant abilities, because once you see these spores, you have already inhaled them. I would look forward to at least 3 seasons. This one is part 1. Season 3 would be part 2 and season 2 takes place in between. So there is also time for Bella to get a little older and Season 3 would hit even stronger. In season 2, apart from the flashbacks of part 2, the makers could once freely write stories.

Don’t feel bad about crying….pedro’s ability to convey emotion will make anyone cry

Beatiful girl and beatiful reaction AHAHA For real, this series is something else, i got so much goosebumps when i hear the intro at the start. The last of us is one of my favourite game ever, if not the best one. Big up from Italy :)

Pleeeease do more tv shows. I don't know how many times I've watched these reactions "A lot I know that much, but I never played the game. It's the best tv series ever " I stopped watching episode 9 because I just can't, but I had to watch it with you Thank you. I really can tell what the game meant to you. It's like that for me with the Lord of the Rings.

Thank for you for that really great reaction. Many people, reactors at least, who watch Last of US haven't seen Fringe which is a real shame. A lot have seen Mindhunter but not all. Anna Torv is amazing in both those series. I went into this show completely blind so 1. Had no idea the daughter was going to die, that was quite shocking, and 2. very surprised and pleased that Anna Torv is in this, well in the first 2 episodes at the very least. Really excited for tonight's episode, so super looking forward to that reaction when it comes out!

HBO always do mint intros..this one is deffo my fav... Its perfecto

The spores were omitted from the TV show cause I think one of the show writers said it would be insanely unrealistic that anyone in the apocalypse would have been able to super tiny millions of sporing that are airborne gas masks or not. So the spores were replaced with Tendrils for the show.

You have a great voice. It is very soothing and gentle to listen to. 😉

‘I just hope the dog survives’ 😂

I don't think that many people are looking forward to TLoU2 as a live show. If anything Neil needs to change a lot for the narrative to be smoother and less experimentalist than in the game with all those time jumps. There are a lot of issues with it.

Wth man it’s wild to me that this came out 9 months ago times GOIN. Also great reaction. I was happy to get my parents to experience this story

I saw a few reactions before seeing yours and I can say this is the truest one so far, and yes we all cried dw 😂😂 About spores I was a bit disappointed ngl but other than that it’s 9,9/10

i have to say something...i have to. You are so beautiful

PlayStation is gonna be booming even more after this show.

You have a great voice. You sound like the woman on Agent 47’s ear piece in the games

I also didnt know pedro before this series but now im obsessed. Watch him in narcos 🥵

Neil druckman is the creator . He went to mazin to co- collaborate the show

idk what it is but watching fellow tlou players react to the show just hits different

i like anna torv!it was nice to see her in something new after fringe. 🤩👍

I can´t wait for the winter part (...) this will scare people to death 😬

Staying up till midnight tonight to catch next episode

Ayo asmr channel when? You have such a nice voice.

Thank's for your reaction)))

Niko is her mom’s twin in the face ❤

Saw something that said they decided to not use spores because the spores and the wind would cause the disease to spread faster and it would be too unrealistic to think that the diseased spores could be contained and not spread by the wind so they went a different route.

I want a PC version of this game.

I wasn´t expecting much from the series, but the first Episode is so frickin good. They captured the game really well and the acting is right on point. now I can´t wait for the second episode... Nice reaction pix...Thank you.

The fangirling was very funny

what color and lighting settings do u use to make ur camera look so lovely?? are u perhaps using OBS?

omg your voice

Love they kept Gustavo to make the show's score. The atmosphere built by it in the game will never be as good without it. The cinematography captures the tone it needed, the slight changes they made just did the series service. And of course the superb acting of the entire cast.

You're beautiful

Great great show 🍻

Great great show 🍻

dig the review

The spores being gone not just makes sense for a show but its also more realistic

The show itself does a good job in staying faithful, despite changing things here and there, but all the major plot points are there. Some changes I even prefer, like the plane crash, or the single but very fast runner vs the couple slow ones in the game. This also gave a little red herring with the soldier, which could've been Tommy with his rifle (instead of Joel's revolver), due to the single shot fired vs the auto fire in the game. And we don't got spores, but we've got sexy mouth tendrils instead. The cast nailed it too so far imo, which is exactly why you go with actors and not with cosplayers. But I know most of the hate came from the gamergate incels anyway, calling Bella Ramsey a "thing" and being angry that they "replaced white people". They've been hating on the franchise for years now, ever since they couldn't cope with Part 2. Deranged bunch.

Season 2 is based on Part 2. Means game 3 is probably due next year.

Depeche Mode's song fits perfectly with this series at the end. When this song comes at the end, I had goosebumps and a shiver ran down my scalp. :)

Love your reactions and the resonance of your voice. I'll be back as the journey here continues with The Last of Us.

"can i just say...his voice is perfect for Tomy.." ...and on the subject of perfect voices.... *stumbles on pixiedoe reaction vid* :O

Embrace the cry... I figure the reason the made it 2023 is to made the fall happen in 2003 when there really wasn't mass social media to spread the news of the outbreak

You just know a lot of the changes they have taken when comparing from game to series is stuff they wanted to do but changed for some reason, like the delving of the "why" the fungus evolved and how far it has since the initial outbreak. Take the opening kid for example. The fungus knew just how to lure non infected people using the kid to try and keep the spreading going. It shuffled "zombie" like to the city then once adults spotting him, falls to the ground to bait. The writers wanted to give you an example of what the guy in the beginning was talking about when he said its goal was to control and spread.

Prepare the subscriber number to rocket up now xD, it was fun to watch, good job.

Amazing Episode, Amazing Reaction - Joel & Sarah's scene is so heartbreaking - both in-game and now in live action - overall, a phenomenal episode!

A solid reaction! I was also kind of sad for not being able to binge-watch it. Btw, I just love your voice. Please make more reaction videos.. 🙏

I'm just happy to see someone who is as big of a fan of the games as I am

cautiously optimistic, but it certainly looks like they're on the right path : ).

Great job. I look forward to your video on the next episode.

Love the COF hoodie you have! Awesome reaction too❤

Love the accent, sounds so soothing to my non native speaker ears.

Can't wait for Game to come out on PC So smiley 🙂

Cradle of Filth hoodie earned you a sub! That was my into band into Death Metal back in the early 2000's. Amazing music favorite band by far. Great reaction too! :)
