There are really only 2 changes that I'm not a fan of is with this version. First off, changing Robert and Joel and Tess's chasing him down. That section of the game really set the pace of who Joel was. He was willing to kill and even slightly torture Robert to get the details on the guns and didn't flinch when Tess shoots him. With new Joel, he only chose violence once, and made it more reactionary than a choice. They allude to Joel being someone you don't want to mess with, but never really gave us a reason for it. Not saying that Joel was a murderous madman in the original, but it gave a "whatever the cost" toughness that just doesn't exist yet in this version. The other is small, but I think made a huge difference. The show version had the opening credits and title card before the outbreak even started. I would've left it between the end of their fleeing for safety and before the time jump like they did in the game. This worked phenomenally in the game by hitting that huge note with Sarah, and then basically seeing everything crumble. You had time for that to really sink in, enhanced by the beautiful soundtrack. By moving the credits and title card beforehand, you're left with just having a quick "20 years later" and no time to let that death sink in.

When I first got to that section in the game Joel seemed like he was barely one step above a common bandit thug to me. Memory is a little hazy because I haven't played the game in a decade. But I think later in the game he either alludes to, or straight up tells Ellie he used to be a bandit. So I'm not a huge fan of them changing that about him. I think it was something that was really important to his character development.

On the other hand though, if they're making Joel more heroic, there's a higher chance that they'll make his death in S2 better than the shit we got. Plus, this is still the first episode, they might be saving the reveal of Joel's past. I don't disagree with your criticisms though, I also think the title card should have been left where it was in the game.

@@IncredibleGoliath except for the times they have done this. From just some quick googling I can tell you there are examples of this being done (OA on Netflix, Duck Tales pilot on Disney combined 2 parter without credits in first half, and Breaking Bad when they introduced Ozymandius to name a few). Also, there doesn't seem to be any rule on requiring credits at the beginning, more a general guideline. There's a pretty decent write up on Wikipedia about how this has changed over the years, with Star Wars being one of the first to break the mold.

Well they revamped it into a hive mind sort of fungus. The fungus essentially works as a central nervous system. The fungus spreads through people and then it can grow into the soil or on the ground that it is surrounded by. A person who touches or steps on the fungal sprouts is as if someone disturbes a nerve in the human body. This in turn sends out a signal to all the infected whom are connected to the fungus physically, letting the hive know that it's being disturbed and rush over to that location as fast as possible. I think it's a good replacement for spores for the show

It was still food in the game that initially caused the outbreak, the 2nd item you can pick up in the game is the Newspaper says that they were recalling all crops from South America, so it was still food based the spores are just how it spread after the initial outbreak. I don’t really mind the change, spores only show up 4 times the entire game, so I always thought it seemed super inconsistent on where they were and weren’t. If it really was spores it wouldn’t be The Last of Us it be There’s None of Us because nobody would survive

My biggest worry with this show is what they're going to try and do to justify what happens in TLOU2 (Neil can be as cheeky as he wants, but we all know this is getting a season 2). The first game was about regaining one's lost humanity, even if it meant the world be damned. The second game throws this out the window by telling the audience that what Joel did was incorrect, that the world WAS going to be saved but Joel ruined it (not even in Abby's eyes, which would make sense, but just straight up tells YOU, the player, that he was wrong), and just goes with the most basic revenge story tropes to try and justify itself. It took the first story's ambiguity and nuance and just crushed it under two tons of narcissism. It basically told us "well, Abbey was saved by Joel, but he did something wrong to her in the past, so here's him being brutally murdered... okay now, after playing Ellie for 10 hours, it's time to try and undo all of that by now playing as Abbey. Okay, well you may not think she was in the right after playing here, but we're telling you she was, lol." Granted I DO think there is a possibility for the TLOU2 adaptation to improve upon it in a new medium, I just don't have faith that they won't drag the first story's game down to try and bring the second story's game up.

They turned Joel into a psychopath! And worse still so many people keep using the line “Joel was always unhinged”. Are you dense?! Did you not get enough oxygen as a child?! Joel having PTSD is not the same thing as Joel having psychotic issues. He doesn’t kill, beat and torture people because he’s out of control or because he enjoys it. He does it to survive and to save Ellie! When he tortures the two guys from the town and then kills them it’s not because he heard voices tell him that or so that he could have something to Jack off too later. He did it to save Ellie. He was in full control and did what he did precisely. That’s not being “unhinged”. That’s being pragmatic and loosening your morality so that you can survive. It’s so frustrating to know that most people are so stupid. They can’t tell the difference between a crazy man and a survivalist. No wonder people vote the way they do, they honestly can’t be bothered to think beyond the surface level of anything.

All roads lead to abby aside, the line delivery just isn't as good as the the game. I'm just not feeling Pedro's Joel at all. Not feeling Ellie's delivery either. Her's feel particularly rigid. And the added scene with Joel asking about Tommy over a 3 week radio silence. I feel like it takes away from it a bit. I had the impression that they hadn't spoken for much longer, like years. Especially with him being married and joel not knowing about it. No spores? And that Tess jumpscare when she sees the body? I would think Tess has been around the block and seen her share. That was a bit much. "Turned my brother against me," again was more forward than how the game handled it and I swear these added scenes just degrade it imo. On its own it'd be ok but damn I'm not a fan. I actually like the change with joel staring at the soldier reminiscent of the beginning but tess or ellie should've been involved before joel lunges on him. The dude was literally locked onto him and would've blasted him.

I don't think they're doing a good job differentiating it from the game, it seems more just a one to one with a few changes here and there edit: Seems like they're starting to majorly deviate as of ep 3, and it doesn't suck.

In the show he just says "yes sir" a bunch, and sure he could still be horrified it's just not shown at all.

Don't know for anyone else, but the show seems pretty meh. I completely understand why people would like it, but I'd like to express why it's not as good as it could've been with the following arguments: I wont be talking about the questionable casting, acting and bland cinematography but mostly the many contrivances and coincidences they've inserted that were never there before. How about a random plane crashing right next to their car? Close enough to knock them out for a bit, but not do much harm. Apparently a car crash isn't flashy enough. Tommy being too stupid to go around the car to immediately reunite with Joel? Tess being tied up for some dumb reason, only for a ducking bomb to explode and kill/knock out everyone but her? Joel talking with a guard, only for that exact guard to stop him outside the city (this one wasn't as bad as the ones before). That's some pretty lazy writing. And the worst thing is, this stuff adds NOTHING to the story and I have no idea why they even added them. They diverge from the original narrative, only to go right back to it, making the overall pacing of the plot worse and sometimes the scenes that are the same from the game and the show don't quite fit as well as in the original plot. For example Sarah seeing a zombie eating a person's face just to be really shocked when Joel kills it. In the game she saw him run inside the house and kill someone chasing him, and she's obviously shocked when her dad kills a person. In the show she sees the thing eating someone, then it chases her and her dad luckily appears to help her and luckily has a blunt weapon in hand, while in the game he ran inside to get a gun after getting chased himself (funnily the zombie wasn't chewing, but just standing there for the dramatic head turn). Her wondering out to see the zombie eating someone before Joel kills it adds nothing, and makes her reaction more unnatural as it was trying to kill her. And she doesn't even know if it's dead, Joel hit it in the show, while he shot it in the game. Ones quite deadlier. It's still fine overall, but I think I've made the point of why its quite a bit worse. Another thing that hurts the narrative is the opening where the scientist explains the virus. Firstly I haven't seen someone being allowed to smoke on US TV, don't know why they did that. In the game you see how everything goes through Sarah's eyes. She wakes up in an empty house, hears explosions in the distance, hears a tv report and Joel's phone blowing up with messages from Tommy. The atmosphere slowly builds up only for Joel to burst in kill someone, you have a car scene and all hell to break loose once they reach the city. In the show they ruin the atmosphere and build up, only to show us a zombie eating someone's face (technically it was eating hair for some reason). They add scenes to pad out the runtime, but those scenes either add nothing or actively diminish the impact of the coming scenes. There are some other scenes that I think either open questions, are contrived or just unnecessary, like the little girl wondering outside the city, Ellie being tied up and acting weirdly about the fireflies and etc. I won't go too deeply into them, because I've already written an essay that no one's gonna read, anyways. Another issue I have with the show is the bad expository dialogue. "Do I look like your mother? I'm the leader of the fireflies". Surely there was a more natural way to let us know that. How about just showing us the others taking orders from her? Than there's the casting and the acting which I don't really like, but won't go too deeply into. I just want to say that Bella Ramsey's acting is surprisingly bad. My overall opinion of the show is that it's just mediocre at best so far.

Okay, so now I watched the second episode and it's still pretty strong. I'm not sure, but I think I'm detecting slight animosity towards Joel (in the sense that the show seems to want to tell the viewer that Joel isn't "the good guy" (whatever that means in this context)), so far it's just a slight tingle in the back of my head though and I'm not sure if I'm not just imagining stuff. *SPOILER* I like the idea of the Cordyceps being sort of a network, notifying Infected about things, I guess it's an interesting way to make up for removing the spores. They still follow the story of the game quite firmly, of course cutting down on the travel time, but with the meaningful stuff and powerful action setpieces alive and kicking. Tess sacrificing herself in order to destroy Infected instead of soldiers is... I'm pretty neutral on that, so far, nonetheless a powerful move, as it is in the game. That strange Infected "kiss" (as weird as that sounds) threw me off hardcore though, felt a little too campy and almost like parody to me. Yeah, I'm sure it's supposed to be creepy in an instinctual way, but the scene in the beginning of the first episode achieved that same thing way better.
