Pedro Pascal and Nico Parker did a phenomenal acting and it was tragic the way Joel's daughter died and I literally cried when that happened.

Boohoo John

[@snowown]

Im very surprised how well pedro pascal is fitting as joel, it feels authentic !

[@budoshi1981]

@@snowown i was skeptic at first but he does a very good job

Very cool that they got the same actress to play Marlene as in the game.

@@hhaidar121 nope do your research

[@traviscue2099]

I thought it was the same actor for Tommy at first, his accent is so close to flawless in most of those scenes

[@everyporism]

“Tommy help me!” Will literally haunt me forever

[@luisleon2124]

totally

[@lyrebirb83]

It's that bassy panic you don't hear often.

[@hersh23]

This show did things that outdid the powerful-ness of the game. Joel's "Tommy help me!!!" is definitely one of them along with the shriek Ellie gives in episode 5 when Henry shoots himself. Her scream just made it feel that much more real and made the moment hurt so much more

[@Lightningrod75]

Pedro's 'accent': while he was born in Chile, his family came to the US when he was very young. He was raised in Texas and California. He's not performing an accent, that's that's just his.

[@musicaleuphoria8699]

I was surprised to hear his American accent after watching GoT, along with actors like Peter Dinklage and Jason Mamoa.

[@mr.vesper5659]

The game made me tear up. The show made me tear up. Bravo to them

[@LetsGetitBoah]

Imagine not knowing the story and seeing this happen. They made it seem as if she was the main character. Ned Stark times 10.

[@chriswhinery925]

Not really Ned Stark times 10 IMO. We only had what, 15-30 minutes to get attached to this character instead of a whole season. Although her being a kid definitely makes it hit harder than it would otherwise.

[@missliss2581able]

I’ve never played the game but knowing Bella Ramsey is the lead, I figured something was going to end up happening to Sarah. But it still hit pretty hard, the actors did a wonderful job

[@popermen694]

@@missliss2581able Never played the game, same for me. I just kind of knew who the two leads were so I figured she was a goner.

[@LadyAstraan]

What's horrifying is that the fungus actually exists in real life. Yes, it only affects ants. But, what if?

[@MaryCherryOfficial]

Exactly… scary as!!!

[@generichuman_]

I better call my aunt and see if she's ok!

[@irishgamerkerrielouise]

The opening scene is creepy because what he's spitting is facts. The tension in the room had me tense. THAT'S ACTING!

[@markg1727]

They aren’t facts. They are theories and pretty outlandish ones at that. The idea that climate change will just propel such a fungus through millions of years of evolution is about as plausible as the “science” used to explain Jurassic Park or X-Men, maybe less.

[@honeyFoxx420]

Cordyceps is a real fungus watch the videos on KZbin

[@ShreyButle]

@@honeyFoxx420 Yes the fungus is real, but the world getting warmer cannot just magically speed up several millions of years worth of evolution in a few decades that the fungus would need to adapt to the internal temperature and immune system of a human being.

[@fargoth391]

@@honeyFoxx420 Yes, it is real, but it would still take quite extraordinary circumstances, millions of years, and an extremely unlikely evolution path for it to be able to take control of a human's extremely complicated neurological pathways, which is in no way even slightly comparable to that of an insect's.

[@williamhu6941]

What I liked so far from the first episode is the camera work and Sarah getting more screen time than the first game. And we’re gonna be seeing Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the original actors who played Joel and Ellie, later on in the series as different characters, as well as Jeffrey Pierce, who originally portrayed Tommy as a different character.

[@williamhu6941]

@Zirath Ashe Same here. We never got to see Ellie’s late mother in the first game. But I’m glad that the show’s creators will use that opportunity to explore the backstory with Ellie and her late mother.

[@kilianalexander2736]

Is Ashley Johnson gonna play Ellie's mom? Because she and Bella Ramsey look so alike

[@williamhu6941]

@@kilianalexander2736 Yeah, Ashley Johnson is gonna be playing Anna, Ellie’s late mother.

[@leecrump9404]

No matter how many times that you have seen his daughter get shot it will always rip out your heart

[@danielpopp1526]

I absolutely love that cold opening with the interview in 1968 to explain cordyceps. Fun Fact: that year was the same year governments started to acknowledge climate change, as well as the same year George A. Romeros The Night Of The Living Dead was released.

[@snowown]

Yap same.. i started crying pre " the scene" because i knew it was coming, the full out bawling. I think that for people who have palyed the first ( and second game for that matter) are -SO- connected to the characters already that it hurts extra much.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Some of the small things I loved (since I mean there's lots of big things too): -Tommy's actor NAILED how Tommy sounds and even young Tommy looks. (younger tommy looks a lot different than post apocalypse Tommy actually) -Pedro Pascal as Joel nailed a fun thing. As soon as he gets up he grabs coffee, Sarah hands him Orange Juice, he takes a small sip, then washes it down with his coffee...something Joel would totally do -They didn't try to do a 1 for 1 recreation of the game, which honestly, is probably for the best. They covered major events, and even lines from the game, but expanded upon other things that aren't covered at all like Joel smuggling in drugs for people and him doing dirty work to get by -PTSD is shown in an authentic and realistic way by Pedro Pascal :( -And! They got the original actor who played Marlene in the game to reprise her role in the show. She's the only returning cast member to reprise her actual video game role. (although will say Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker are both in the series as more like..smaller parts I hear)

[@Dark__Thoughts]

You didn't forget the plane moment, because it never happened in the game. The car just before that is actually what crashes into the side of their car, but here they did a fake out instead and added the plane crash.

[@DylanMadd]

Non gamer here. Never played the game. But I hear it’s great, so… LOVED ep1.

[@thrummer1953]

You owe it to yourself to Plat TLOU 1.

[@xiKeepItRealx]

Gamer here I'm glad you loved ep1. This show so far is living up the game

[@commentor2013]

i would wait to play the game until after the show is done. i played it and i know whats coming so that takes away from a new experience a little. its still good and theres a little new story information they added which adds stuff the game was missing.

[@Frostbyte23x]

That game is a master piece...the 1st one anyway

[@DylanMadd]

Went to reply to one of you but I’d rather ask everyone - If I were to get a gaming system, as a person who hasn’t played since literal NES, what’s the one I should go with? Does TLoU come on a specific platform or will any do?

[@rinderknorpelmuhle1790]

The scene with Sarah kicks even now at this reaction. I cried before and now again. Luckily, they did it as well as in the game.

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

10:35 I cried too, although I saw the scene in the game x times and knew what was going on. 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.

[@lonely_crash2059]

I hope the consistency keeps up because this is a promising start

[@degov5]

I've always loved The Last Of Us' use of fungi as the zombie agent because yeah, like the intro said, it already exists in the insect world. It's not a big stretch to think, "what if it just evolved to affect humans too?"

[@markg1727]

It’s a HUGE strech if you understand genetics and microbiology at all. It simply is less likely than us developing super powerful genetic mutations all the sudden and becoming X-Men.

[@lucasbroome1048]

@@markg1727 Imagine if despite the low likelihood of it occurring, that it happened anyway. There'd probably be absolutely no way to see it coming

[@Nyhde]

Your initial idea about 'original actors' was correct, since they performed the scenes with performance capture suits. So, they weren't 'just' voice actors.

[@nightcrawler5696]

I swear knowing what happens, from the game, made Sarah's scene so much more intense. The anticipation was so emotional. Cried my eyes out.

[@babychongkerzz3014]

Thank you for recognize Indonesia, im a fan from Indonesia .... nice reaction too

[@emiliaxoxo]

So excited for the upcoming episodes and your reactions!!

[@Animesthetic]

Sarah’s death broke me 💔 I can’t wait for the next episodes. It’s been a wonderful series so far.

[@nilesstark]

Fan Fact: Some of those clothes they wear are almost exactly like from the game. But Ellie's shirt was also the same shirt Nathan Drake wore in the flashback of Uncharted 3.

[@Malysari]

I was so excited to watch your reaction to this after playing the games. I watched it last night and I love it! Such a great start to the series. I feel so happy for anyone watching it who hasn’t played it too though. They’re in for agreat ride!

[@farzeenkara5079]

I am one of those that havent played the game and have no clue about the story! Love your channel! Next should be Everywhere, Everything all at once

[@eccentricshaun7637]

What's interesting is it's implied the fungus is spread though wheat. Joel was doing Atkins.

[@bellantwain21]

This episode was amazing love the video Mary stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

[@texasrattlesnake31637]

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

[@NPA1001]

Loved this from the first scene.. then Pedro and Nico were amazing.. but when Bella arrived it lifted it to another level… perfect adaptation.. and looking like the TV show of 2023.

[@FrostTyler]

Most of this show was filmed in my hometown. It was so cool driving past some of the sets the past couple of years. Definitely excited to see this show.

[@JackMellor498]

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one digging and jamming to the use of that classic Depeche Mode track, it might not happen, but I’m crossing my fingers for a Kate Bush style chart resurgence.

[@graemejones825]

I was checking my alerts, wondering why I wasn't getting your vids on my channel....only to realise I hadn't subscribed. Thought I had lol. Well I have now.

[@andre1999o]

I've actually never played the games, but I'm watching the show with my uncle, who's played both and is a huge fan. I'm also aware of certain tidbits of trivia, like Marlene being played by the same actress as the game.

[@ZancoIntel]

This damn show has the most heart wrenching scene in any media I've ever seen. 😭

[@santiagorodriguez9849]

Good start! When Joel was kicking the crap out of that soldier at the end, Ellie was not happy, she was surprised by the salvajism of joel.

[@DemonicYami7449]

BEST adaptation of a video game EVER

[@bawzzzz]

FYI this episode is in a separate playlist alone. There's 2 playlists by mitake.

[@WadeWallenstein]

I'm loving this show so far! I played The Last of Us on PS3 in 2013. I started a New Game Plus run there but couldn't finish because it was too much of an emotional rollercoaster.

[@shep4life]

This premiere is perfect. Im so excited

[@LuLuPlus97]

I haven’t played the game yet but I know the story. And this Ellie sounds exactly like the games Ellie. Loved this episode & I think it’s just going to be better & better.

[@pain3840]

Btw the fungus that was described in the beginning is a real fungus that affects insects mainly ants, so theoretically if it did Mutate to a point where humans could get it, then “The Last Of Us” is probably what the world would look like

[@iad77]

Music gave me chills ☺️

[@LoneWolf4299.]

It’s definitely the best live action video game adaptation. I would say Arcane and the Castlevania show on Netflix are the best animation adaptations for video games.

I totally missed that that was Anna Torv until after checking IMDB.

[@AndiAqmarFala]

I was amazed when you knew Jakarta in Indonesia, until I saw that you were from Australia.

[@nilesstark]

The 1968 opening reminds me of the Emma Thompson opening in I am Legend in that they both foreshadow what each world is up against. Also Nico Parker played Sarah great here. Definitely takes after her mother. Anna Torv of Heavenly Sword and Fringe fame is doing pretty good as Tess.

[@Scott_Burton]

I struggled with one thing with this show. Not letting myself fall in love with the character of Sarah, because I didn't know really how soon, but very early, she would be little more than a memory. I've never played the game but I have many hours of playthrough and livestream/replay exposure to the game LOU all the way beginning to end with 2 different players. LOU2 once all the way through with one player. I had not been keeping track of when this was coming out, and hadn't followed who was in it. A few nights ago, I saw an "easter eggs" for this episode video appear on my YT feed, so I immediately closed YT, went and watched the episode, because I was expecting several reactors I routinely follow to be posting, and I needed to see the episode before those videos started getting out. I didn't realize Pedro was Joel, I didn't know Bella was in this. I recognized them both in the first seconds of seeing them. And I think they are perfect to take on these roles. I think it's more intense here, because it's not made like it's a typical TV show, and you're not in the position of needing to watch for clues of what you need to do. In the game, you could need to spot something in a scene to be a hint of what you need to do after.

[@perspectivep.o.v7860]

I’ve never played , but the show so far is amazing

[@KingMoon110]

Crying again at the first episode. This is going to be a fun reaction series.

[@ellicabrera8590]

[@Sn1perAJ]

Pedro and Nico in Sarah's death is 10000× more heart breaking my god

[@scottvanhille5688]

I would be interested in someone never playing or seeing the game to react to this as a new show and being completely open as to what's happening and never knowing the details. Nice reaction Mary. This looks good. Glad that Riley was mentioned since she's a pivotal character to younger Ellie, hope we get to see their friendship in the next episodes, even if it's a flashback.

[@Frostbyte23x]

This was pretty accurate, so far they did a great job

[@chandlermorgan708]

10/10 One of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen. The pilot episode is one of the best pilots I've ever seen even surpassing that of the Walking Dead. The introduction gave clarity and showed the individual struggles people had to cope with. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they build the characters and how they develop the relationships and attempt to match that of the game. Zombie TV shows and films have been done millions of times before and often lack creativity but this so far has a breath of fresh air and if like the games concentrates on human emotion and connection then I think it'll do incredibly well and I can't wait to watch the rest of the series.

[@suedehead00]

Enjoyed your reaction. My comment on the series episode 1 though is it got a tad slow. The first 15 minutes were great, but the scenes in post apocalypse Boston were very dry. Maybe because I never played the game and knew nothing of the storyline, not sure, but I fell asleep watching it on HBO Max and had to go back to watch the last 10 minutes of the episode over. Hoping things pick up in episode 2...

[@michaelaraiza9650]

[@TisBoiGoTSkiLLz]

I've never played the game and don't really know the story but I know a certain character dies later on. But I'm mainly watching for the cast. Pedro Pascal is at his very best right now and I'm a huge fan of Anna Torv after her performances in Fringe and Mindhunter.

[@martinmillar7137]

Odd comment but my fav thing is the opening credits lol its so HBO n epic.

[@nadeeml9276]

Hi, great reaction. Never played the game and I have no idea what happens in the story. I didnt even know it was fungus, which is a pretty cool and different concept from the usual virus...etc. I went in completely blind and after episode 1 I gotta say I LOVE this show. I mean im totally hooked. I knew it would be great cause Craig Mazin, one of the creators, the main guy for the show i think, was the creator of the hbo show Chernobyl and that show as equally incredible so I had high expectations already - but yeah wow. I was totally floored when his daughter died, I thought SHE was the girl he was supposed to be travelling with so I was really shocked actually. That's the only thing I knew, cause I saw the game poster or art or wtv at some point and it was an older guy "with his daughter" I assumed. So that was really shocking and sad. Anyway, THANK YOU for the really great reaction and looking forward to the next ones!

[@richardstoddard9111]

I haven't played the game but this show is outstanding so far

[@LeviBulger]

The thing about infections is that just because you amputated your hands because they touched something infected, doesn't mean you can prevent a spread because that virus has already been circulated through the blood. I mean unless maybe you literally amputate them within a couple seconds of touching an infection it would work...? But also, I thought this whole sickness was a fungal infection? In that case, I could see amputation maybe working.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

You didn't forget about the airplane, because that's not how they got knocked over in the game. There was a fake out in the show of that truck about hitting them because everyone was expecting it to be the same as the game, but they changed it up into the plane engine instead of being t-boned.
