The Last Of Us - Reaction - S1E3 - Long, Long Time 

Kind of narrowminded if you think he was going to hurt someone aren't yah lol

​@@DaveRedskyagreed What's them thinking he was going to hurt him right away. There is zero indication of that in the storytelling at all

Very well said

Bill in the game survive and in the show kill himself what so positive about giving up?

@@stannisbaratheon7592 You will understand one day when you love someone that much

@@stannisbaratheon7592 I think it's that, in the show, he lived a full life and died on his own terms. In a zombie apocalypse, that's one of the best lives and deaths you could hope for.

@@stannisbaratheon7592 people got different morals

🌽🏀

@@danielcastillo9587 grow up

Lol y’all are gonna say this everywhere huh

@@Mr_Snifflez bro it’s this same guy commenting on every channel reacting rn.. he found a few comments that sound good to blow up and just puts em everywhere

@@yeanahnah2976 it’s cus he’s copy and pasting the comments on every rxn

I know right, the game was sad too but it was just so negative. Bill just says Frank took off, only to find him hanging in house with a suicide note. This was so much more beautiful, and I prefer this way more than the game. Great writing. And totally unexpected from someone who played the game.

Homie

Why would you do this to me

It seems to grow through their eyes and their skull rather than over them.

It doesn't grow over anything. The fungus is a parasite and it gains nutrients from its host body. The cordyceps literally eats the human from the inside out in order to complete its own life cycle. If you reference back to the first episode exposition from the 1968 interview they give you the explanation. The fungus eats the host to grow up into a big strong mushroom. It controls the host in order to place the fungus in the optimal environment for reproduction (i.e. spreading the infection to other hosts). In order to extend the time available for the fungus to successfully reproduce, it grows inside of its host to replace lost functions from the organs, meat, etc that it consumes. We can confirm this through examination of the various infected we've come across. The mass hordes of infected gathering to share resources (more meat for the fungus) while in wait for more host contacts to be discovered. This 3rd episode we can see the fungus replacing the flesh and bone during Ellie's "dissection". During extensively long infections we see the fungus bloom and mutate into the clickers. These parasitic relationship developments serve to make its host more effective transmitters of the fungus. Most of the flesh has been devoured and replaced by the parasite. However, the fungus has grown in a manner that amplifies the hosts sensitivities to sound. Observing these cases of infection, it's fair to assume that the fungus has specifically evolved to sustain itself on very specific parts of the host and use hallucinogens to rewrite the hosts brain to control and preserve motor functions. When a specific infected is very successful in its life cycle we see the advanced stages of infection. When it is unsuccessful, we see it starve and die off like the entry and stairway of the museum.

The Clickers can’t see because the fungus has grown so big it has split their heads open. 51:46 It looks like a neuromuscular disease, probably ALS or MS.

Actually, it's stage 2 of the infection when the infected persons vision begins to be changed by the cordyceps starting to cover the victims' eyes and face. This is the infected that Ellie finds trapped under rubble. You can see the cordyceps growing out and over its face and the one remaining eye which is dimmed by the infection but can still see Ellie and follow the motion of the knife she waves at it. In stage 3 after surviving a year of infection their face is covered and scarred, finally blinding them and causing them to develop a rudimentary form of echo location. Here are the 7 stages of infected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i1FGWQt1kkA.html Here is the BBC documentary about cordyceps that Neil Druckman saw and inspired his creation of the infected for the game. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o57imEfknMQ.html

Which is worth it, prepping or the garden veggies? Haha :P. Yeah I love fresh veg. At my family's first house we had enough of a backyard to have a pretty small little garden and it was the best.

Could be multiples sklerosis

They said it's either MS or ALS

Frank and Bill would have no way of knowing either way.

@@elbruces Frank maybe since he seems to have some kind of trauma medicine training with how he handled Bill's injury with keeping him talking while staying calm. And he knew what kind of meds he needed to get Tess and Joel to get him.

I’m guessing MS. A close friend died quickly of ALS, my brother has MS and it is slower and more progressive.

Hmm, in my country same-sex marriage is legal since 2001. It’s so sad that the USA, compared to other developed countries, is so far behind when it comes to humanity, education on inclusion etc. It’s crazy to me that a court had to rule on that. The court of law was needed for 2 consenting adults to legally fuck in their own house 💀. That’s crazy.

That's an excellent point

How and why was it not allowed to have sex in one's own home? Was it the parent's house?

@@henriquelinopacheco15 it wasn't technically enforceable but there were and I think still are some states that have 'anti sodomy' laws. It's freaking crazy

It was only fitting that this episode took place in Lincoln, Mass. As Massachusetts was the first state to legalize gay marriage.

it was funny

In the game they do eat, but I don't know if they changed it here, like they already replaced the spores with tendrils, cause in ep 2, that fresh dead body Ellie found was not eaten, just ripped apart.

@@GrandmaNUT the fresh body prob died from the bleeding/injuries while hiding from the clickers, so they didnt get a chance to eat it.

@@GrandmaNUT There are ripped apart bodies in the games, too. In the tilted building Joel, Tess, and Ellie come across a body of a FEDRA soldier that was not eaten, just ripped apart by a clicker. Also, we see a bunch of runners (in part 1, first runner encounter. part 2, Serevena hotel) and stalkers (in Part 2, first stalker encounter) eating a bodies.

@@SidPhoenix2211 honestly, if the infected are literally just humans with a fungus in them, would they prioritze eating humans at all? The fungus wants to keep his hosts alive, but they are still mostly human biology wise since the fungus mainly affects the brain, so wouldnt they just eat normal stuff humans also eat and need to survive? Sure, they might also eat human flesh if they are starving or if its right there, but as far as i remember cannibalism isnt exactly a healthy or very sustainable diet for humans, right?

Yeah it seriously shocks me how many reactors miss this. Even ones who have played the game. It's like "JOEL SAID FRANK IS NICE!!"

You didn't see that coming - Quicksilver

Nobody has the guts to call sin sin

@@Doctorg3231 sin is a fictional concept. It only exists in your religion.

@@Doctorg3231 You act like the main characters dont spend this series murdering people, the pretty far gone bad "sin". Dunno how to tell you this, john wick is as "sinful" if not more so based on your little book's rules. As well as your lobster and grab. And cotton-poly mix t-shirt from walmart.

I would also say that ep3 of arcane is the same case, as another great video game adaptation and being one of the best episodes ever. (In my opinion)

me neither. a welcome surprise

I mean, it's possible, sure. But they specifically mentioned in this episode that there was a "couple weeks" timer that would start to play 80's if it wasn't reset, so it could have been anywhere in a range of a few weeks if they didn't play it manually.Personally, I'd like to think they had more important things on their mind at that time than setting a radio code :)

@@joshgreiner2599 yeah true. But id also like to think they wanted Joel and tess to hear the code to come get their stuff, before some raiders or something showed up. All up to speculation tho.

Dépêche Mode’s Never Let Me Down Again. Thinking back this song kinda linked to their euthanasia as a couple.

@@foreverkingsteez4796 if they set the song off purposely then bill would’ve told Joel in the letter

Just realized that!

She was moved by her curiosity, plus when she cuts the infected we can see the same thing when the doctor cut the dead woman in the second episode.

@@MrIchi27that’s also very true

I know, right? Maybe I should dig a hole in my back yard in the hope that my Frank will fall in it.

And if all the museums and library's are burnt down to ashes?
