it's fungus? | THE LAST OF US [1x1] (REACTION)

[@Glauber.Safadi]

Don't feel sorry for not having experience with the content you are watching, most of us who enjoys reactions are in fact looking for people who has no experience with it, so its actually a bonus :), love from Brazil!

[@vampr3751]

i agree! reactions of ppl who have no clue abt anything are much more fun to me

[@Paddycake_Games]

There's a really subtle thing they threw in that I didn't notice until I thought about it. They were out of pancake mix, they declined the biscuits from the neighbors, she didn't eat any of the cookies due to the raisins, and Joel forgot the cake. All of them are seemingly disconnected, until you consider Jakarta. They mentioned problems in Jakarta, one of the worlds largest exporters of flour. If there was any avenue for fungus to spread quickly, it would be through tainted flour... which they avoided that day.

[@Zseventyone]

Nice one!

[@TheLukinhaslpk]

Seeing someone who's never played the game react to Sarah's death for the first time... just chills. Can't wait to see you guys playing the games

[@ivanleon6164]

yeah is like a parasite that goes out of you and enters other body.

[@FERAATACANDO]

Oh by the way, the Cordyceps fungus is real and all of that actually happens! The host tries to spread the infection and if an infected ant is discovered by another ant in time, the healthy ant will sacrifice itself taking the infected away from the rest of group

[@spencer5870]

That classroom scene in the beginning where the light reflection kept going on sarah, and she looks up to the kid next to her. You can see the kids arm twitching sporadically, that kid was definitely infected!

[@crimsondtv]

I never even thought about that!

[@superabi5214]

Yeah I noticed that my first time watching, I always wondered if they attacked someone at the school and infected them too, it makes me sad knowing children were also bit :(

[@samuelberson8202]

The beginning part about fungus that takes over ants is actually a real thing and probably the most plausible way a zombie outbreak could occur in real life.

[@hunnybunny12730]

that’s why the prospect of this game is so much scarier than other zombie media! they researched a real way an infection could happen and then researched societal psychology while analyzing population antics during huge global events. it’s actually insane how much research went into this game!

[@extofer]

I love seeing the reaction of people that haven’t played the game! It’s more authentic in that you can’t say “oh that was in the game” with every scene that happens.

[@TheAfricanGrey]

Oh man I can’t wait to watch your reactions especially knowing y’all have not played the games at all. From my perspective as a long time and massive fan of the TLOU games, they absolutely nailed this 1st episode perfectly. The way they balanced new scenes that give you more context for what’s happening and what’s to come with straight out of the video game moments and dialogue was extremely well done. Also the performances as these characters I’ve known and loved for awhile now, were incredible. I mean each character felt exactly like they did in the game. I had very high expectations for this show and not only met them, it completely blew past them. I could not have asked for a better 1st episode honestly. I want the whole season right now man.

[@PhazonInfuser]

90% of VG adaptations SUCK. (And that's a conservative estimate IMO) There is always that precarious balance between respecting the source material so that you honor your existing fan base, yet also be able to cater to, pull in, and hook the non gamers/non fans. But TLOU....fuck. They NAILED IT. An amazing cast in Pascal and Ramsey, a legendary director, the lead writers of the source material, and a studio that doesn't know how to make a bad show. We got ourselves a masterpiece here! And damn good that we do, because TLOU is worthy of being immortalized in our culture.

[@pillsburryDoughFun]

The funny part is that this episode is the most calm one. After this it all breaks loose. Such a big world you’ll love it.

The acting was PHENOMENAL!! I love how they dragged Sarahs storyline on a bit longer because it made us feel A LOT more connected to her which made her death 100000x harder to watch! But can we just say take a minute and talk about THE DOGS AMAZING ACTING!! Like at this part 6:20 the dog looks genuinely concerned!

[@natebloomfeldt5336]

I love how much the directors and producers mimicked the actual story of the game is just beautiful

[@linkjag]

I was so glad to find a reaction from people who knew so little! As someone who played the first game way back when it first came out in 2013, nothing surprised me bit it was cool seeing people who were surprised by things. Also the car scene seeming like a video game is fun because it's almost the exact camera angle that that scene has in the game itself

[@ericbogerd5306]

The praying mantis thing is exactly what it is, mutated just like John Hannah predicted in 1968. It's called cordyceps, and it is terrifying. I can't wait for new episodes, I heard that reviewers who have seen other episodes have said that Episode 3 may be the best single episode of TV they've seen. If it's that much better than this awesome episode, it should be mind-blowing.

[@Thief.Of.Dreams]

Cordyceps are what Bridgette was talking about with the parasites and they are real. It is a genus of ascomycete fungi that includes about 600 species. Most Cordyceps species are endoparasitoids, parasitic mainly on insects and other arthropods; a few are parasitic on other fungi.

[@Maria67362]

I knew what was coming in the beginning sequence with Sarah and it still had me crying even before it happened 😭

[@TheREALJohnL]

I will 100% be following your guys' reactions to this! as someone that has played the game a million times, I LOVE seeing fresh and new reactions like this.

[@extofer]

me too! Also seeing these people watch it that haven’t played the game getting immediately interested in playing it after watching the show is so awesome.

[@KISSTHECROOK]

Finally, a blind reaction! Subscribed to see how u guys enjoy the show. Also - Tommy is not a family friend, it's Joel's brother! And the light that Sarah was seeing was reflected off a classmate's wrist, the person's hand was twitching (early signs of infection) and the light kept bouncing onto her face.

[@HuntingViolets]

This is a very interesting take on zombies, taking something that actually happens in nature, adding in climate change to make the fungus have to evolve to higher temperature resistance, having their goal be only to spread the fungus (themselves). I mean, we've all seen the nature show where that thing takes over the ants. Fireflies does keep making me think of _Firefly,_ though.

[@dynamodan8216]

Green light is usually a transformer going (the cylinder shaped thing on a power pole). When we have hurricanes, I like to sit outside and watch them all light up the sky.

[@eddier9921]

I’m pretty jealous that you guys are going into this series completely clean. So far it is staying true to the amazing game but making it it’s own at the same time. I’m glad they’re doing it like that. I wouldn’t want it to be an exact copy. They’re choosing great parts to subtly change and the right parts to be the same. I love it so far.

[@Chrissybrit43]

You guys are one of my comfort channels. I always watch all your content, which I don’t do on most channels. I’ve been having some shitty days, but coming to watch you guys is like hanging out, eating snacks with friends. Thanks so much for being consistent. That’s an issue with a lot of KZbinrs, not enough consistency, but you channel is fantastic.

[@Helldog6]

If it creeped you out hearing about the Fungus at the beginning, look up of Cordyceps in Ants - it literally already exists IRL, it just can't affect humans. Shits scary a'f and really is what makes The Last of Us really hit as a horror game/show.

[@Forever_OctobersJ]

My husband played the game and I watched parts here and there. So when the show was announced, he was very excited. I was a little eh about it and wasn't expecting too much. We watched it and he was watching me the entire time because I was in awe of it. I reacted emotionally which is odd for me. I cried. Needless to say, we both enjoyed the show and I'm hooked now. Can't wait to see each and every episode.

[@whalebunny514]

im actually so happy you guys are watching without knowing the game because the story is so incredible, experiencing it blind is perfect!!

[@the_eaglefan]

That game is the first one that ever punched me in the gut with the Sarah scene. I love the added details they gave. The game starts with the scene on the couch giving the watch so the show made it even more of a punch in the gut as they gave you even more attachment to Sarah. I think the wrench scene with the neighbor where he drops the wrench was a nod to the game as well as him getting his supplies out from under the floor (my take at least). The scene with them driving was perfectly done, that was so much like the game. I also believe that Marlene is played by the same person who played her in the game. Great reaction.

[@vividesu9943]

i was specifically happy and expectant of people who haadn't played the game. a lot of the early posts are gamers so i'm very excited to watch along with you guys and see you experience all the great moments for the first time. that's the best part actually!

[@PhazonInfuser]

Never apologize for not playing the game. One of the greatest joys of a WELL DONE VG adaptation like TLOU is getting to share what an amazing experience and story it is with non gamers. I invited my non gaming mother to watch it with me because I knew she loved Pedro from Narcos, and Bella from GoT. And she ended up LOVING the first episode and couldn't wait for more. Fun Fact: Dumb luck saved Joel and Sara from getting infected. He forgot to buy pancake mix. They refused the biscuits when the neighbor offered them. He forgot to bring home cake. What do all those things have in common? Flour. Remember the radio broadcast early on talking about serious problems in Jakarta? Guess who the largest global supplier of flour is? Jakarta. It was in the flour. *queue spooky music*

[@superabi5214]

I love seeing raw reactions so you both not seeing it was perfect!

[@hersh23]

The Last of Us has become the show Ive watched the most PURELY because I love to watch the reactions of people, like you two, who are not familiar with the games.

[@SaikaDeWinter]

Legit been looking around to see ppl who never got to play it. Its a beautiful, heart wrenching story that i feel everyone, not just gamers, need to experience. Glad yall are taking this journey seeing as how its looking to be an amazing show. Highly recommend yall play it too when it releases again in march!! 😊

[@r-smokey5741]

This reaction brought happiness to me, just seeing all the emotions y’all are going through and not even knowing anything about the game at all. I can definitely tell you most of us who played the game had the same emotions and reactions to the story

[@ryans3795]

MY FAVORITE thing about reactions from people who haven't played the game is go turn on the TV and watch the news. The video game opens to the TV channel and the news and the chaos. The player essentially wakes up that night, instead of the day back story. It's not needed because of the introduction in 1968, something we did not get in the game. I like both versions it's just something I find intresteresting

[@savagestarlight7311]

[@kiradavis9788]

The fungi was in the food. in the beginning, they mention Jakarta, where most of the world's flour comes from. in the game, it was said the food was contaminated and that's why everyone got infected. Throughout the episode they don't have pancake mix, they refuse biscuits from the alders and Sarah doesn't eat the cookies and Joel forgets to get a cake all this saved from being the first infected.

[@strikkmoez]

What I find super gnarly about the infected as opposed to undead zombies is that according to the in universe science, they are tripping balls heroically while the fungus drop kicks their aggression centers(of the brain). I think that's why so clumsy while raging out.

[@tjfkc]

"I bet you that music's nostalgic" BRO YOU HAVE NO IDEA I literally started crying and nothing had even happened yet

[@WarNeverChanges9191]

As for extremely huge last of us fan who absolutely loved both games part 1 and 2 finds this first episode very accurate towards the game yeah did change it a little bit but it is very accurate to the game.

[@TukikoTroy]

It wasn't Sarah who was infected, it was the boy in the schoolroom with the gold bracelet, he was twitching. This 'episode 1' is actually episodes 1 & 2 put together. The original episode 1 was to have ended with Joel tossing the dead boy into the fire. In the game you could also become infected by spores from infected who reached the end of the infection cycle and died... Like the fungus man on the wall. But in the TV show I believe there are no spores, so no need for gas masks which would have been bad for film. Instead we now have the fungal tendrils coming from the mouth of the 'runners' (the first stage of infection).

[@noahb336]

Dude dont feel sorry at all!

Wanna know something that will keep you up at night? This already happened with varieties of the Candida Fungi. It evolved to survive in humans across the world simultaneously, spread in yeast, and most adults have it growing inside them already. Can alter the body so you skin and organ problems, usually mild though. Can alter the mind to make you crave carbs that it feeds on inside your gut. If you've taken antibiotics at any point as an adult, you almost definitely have the fungi in your body, as the antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your gut that keeps you safe. There are plenty of videos on how to fix the issues, mostly with diet and probiotics. If candida can evolve and affect so much of the human population, without most people even being aware, so can the others. We're gonna get it soon enough.

The game was and still is amazing. This first episode exceeded all my expectations. I know people were being haters about the casting of a certain actor, and I hope they are eating crow because it was ALL fantastic. Plus, from a writer’s standpoint, the crew did amazing by transitioning from game to show. I believe the same crew that did HBO’s Chernobyl did this show, and Chernobyl was so fantastic. All around great beginning.

[@G1Transformed]

@BRIDGECO, 29:21 I don't think she was. The series starts off with the epidemiologist talking about fungi, right? Fast forward to 2003 and we are with Sarah, Joel and Tommy in the kitchen, talking about pancakes, which they didn't eat. And Tommy smelling food in a container, which he puts back (I'm guess it smelled off), and we later cut to the Adlers eating biscuits on the lawn--later that day Mrs. Adler makes cookies with raisins, something Sarah wants nothing to do with. What's in all these foods that Joel, Tommy and Sarah avoided? Yeast! Sarah's classmate with the bracelet had a twitch arm, that student was very likely infected. Did you have a chance to read the posters in the QZ after they brought the little boy in strapped to the wheel chair? Sarah's classmate, Nana Adler had all the signs on that poster, Sarah had none of them. Joel didn't buy a birthday cake, and had he bought one, he likely would have died that night with Sarah in their home while watching that movie ='( This series did the game justice! It expanded on an already great story/scenes. That opening was all new and great, it gave us a little something the game did not. I don't see them dropping the ball at this point. I think it's safe to say this series is already a homerun. f' it, grand slam!

[@Vexzzy]

10/10 first episode, stayed true to the game while also changing some things up to keep you guessing if you’ve played the game + the acting and mannerisms is 100/10

[@Mattis06]

So a couple of days ago I finished watching the series. So back in like 2015 or 2016 I remember i watching some youtuber play the opening scene of the game and when Sarah died i got bored because then the time skip happened ( i was 9 or 10 then ) and I remember thing this is just a walking dead copy or something ( i had only seen the game and didn’t know there was a show even). So years go on and i keep seeing the game pop up and hearing good things about it. So I wanted to play the game myself but that would mean buying a playstation to just play 1 game and i don’t have a good computer either to play it now. So like 2 months ago my sister told my mom to watch the show and she watched 2 episodes and stopped because it was too scary, my sister told her to keep watching and that the next episode has gay people in it and not scary. So now like a week ago my mom asked me do i wanna watch a zombie series called the Last of us and i was like why not i knew because of watching your Got reactions that Oberyn is in this and someone else ( btw i watched Got for first time 2 months ago and watched the entirety of season 6 and half of season 7 in like 4 days because i was kinda depressed cause we were moving so i woke up at 10 watched to like 1 am and went sleep and repeat but i had to go to my dads place and he didn’t have hbo on his tv so i couldn’t watch for like an entire month). When i watched the first 2 episodes alone and then watched it with my mom. It wasn’t even that sad for me when Sarah died because i knew it was gonna happen so i accepted it at the start.

[@philkang2740]

Episode 1 was originally supposed to be two shorter episodes but the HBO executives hated the ending of the original first episode of Joel throwing the kid's body in the fire, so the producers simply combined the first two episodes and made one long pilot episode. That's why there are 9 episodes this season instead of the originally planned 10 episodes...
