I was at a dinner with my extended family last week, and had the absolutely surreal experience of hearing my 60 year old uncle, who has never touched a video game, talking to my 80 year old grandma about the plot of TLOU. It’s amazing how this show widens the audience.

[@justinkroboth360]

Bruh, I had damn near the same experience. I was at my great aunt's house with my father. She's about 70 years old, maybe plays some mobile games at best but has never been a "gamer", and she started going on about TLOU - honestly, it was a really beautiful moment for me, because it felt like video games have graduated as a medium. Roger Ebert didn't think video games could be art (he was wrong, of course), but now, even in the face of THAT, we can point to TLOU, the show, and say "this is it." I just think that's a lovely thing.

[@jamesmarston8461]

[@conteudoanimalz4515]

Dude, They were fragmentation grenades, They don't have fire, It wouldn't do any good if she used them, And I liked how Tess' death was, And I think it's better than the game version.

"He's hanging around. Just give him a minute." fucking had me dying

[@clauvyuga]

[@crazykirsch]

I thought the show also softended Tess' character up a bit. Having them find Robert dead vs her coldly executing him is quite the change.

[@duchess3496]

[@shanetaylor761]

I kinda felt like the show really wanted to cover all their bases when it came to foreshadowing why Joel becomes so protective of ellie. Ellie was humanities last hope. Also I think even the most jaded person will become protective over a child over time. The fact that he was still so close with tess shows he still respects loyalty and ellie has that in spades. Not to mention I thought the end of the bill episode really hit home the beginning of his change. When tess got really preachy multiple times about ellie being the one true hope it felt cheesy. I understand that it connects to bills letter but I think in a post apacolyptic world just alluding to her being important would have been enough. Like a "Joel I really think this might be important" moment. Over a "Joel.... listen to me... she is the key to our salvation... we can finally justify all the wrong we've done" moment. Either way though Anna was a great and unexpected choice to play tess. Within 2 episodes she really established that character great.

[@SNRIDependent]

Joel is actually older in the show than he is in the game and this is why he's angrier in the games, in the show he says "a couple of years ago i could've smoked those guys" after needing Ellie's help in the beatdown.

[@etopihpih2234]

Ohhh how'd you notice that?

[@b.u.l.1734]

In TLOU Part I Joel is 52 , in TLOU Part II he is 56. In the show, he's 56 during the season 1/Part I storyline, so he will be around 60 when the season 2/Part II story happens.

[@thekursedone760]

@Bricky is still reeling from the Lion waking up from his depression nap and Farsight feeling the touch of Khorne

[@redornament3248]

All while Nurgle spreads his Garden fungi in _The Last of Us_

[@thomaschitham3487]

27:25-28:00 According to the co-creators, the point of that scene was to show how Infected would deal with non-Infected if the latter didn't fit back. The Infected transmit their fungus through their mouth(hence the biting and mouth tendrils), and only get aggressive and start biting and beating up if you resist. If you don't resist, then you get the slow, peaceful spreading, as there's no reason for the Infected to get violent. And that's what Tess realised: if she tried to back away or resist the Infected, she'd instantly be attacked and killed, and so she wouldn't be able to light the explosion. By staying still and letting it happen, she bought time to kill them all.

[@ding4634]

Why would they not attack if you don't move? It's surely a much faster way of spreading the infection to just sprint at everybody and bite them.

[@thomaschitham3487]

@@ding4634 Because there's no need. According to the creators, the Infected recognise when it needs to be violent to spread the Fungi and when not to. Tess was one of those times where it saw it didn't to need to be violent in spreading itself, and also to show how Infected can "speed up" the process in those who are infected but not turned.

[@garedbi]

Damn they really gave it a lore reason for the weirdly long mouth-to-mouth scene

[@KBM_38]

I dont think this is right i listened to the creators reasoning on this scene and it stated that the infection carries a distinct scent that other infected can detect so they dont attack each other but due to tess being in the early stages of infection the zombie smelled both a living human and the infection causing it to be confused and then trying to communicate with the fungus that would be inside tesses mouth but isnt there yet

[@BlackTestament]

I legit thought that the reason the zombie kissed Tess like that was because of Tess’s romantic feelings for Joel people with the virus are all connected because she herself is infected she is also connected to the horde and Tess wanted to kiss Joel because they are connected through the cordyceps the zombie felt her desperate need to kiss Joel and kisses Tess because her feeling for Joel were that powerful despite her recently being infected also symbolizing Joel and Tess’s missed opportunity for them to openly admit their feeling for each other which is really sad in itself anyway thats what i thought why that zombie kissed Tess like that

[@maxereno8119]

The Tess death scene always struck me as the infection taking over and not resisting other infected because it’s a hive mind, i.e. path of least resistance. Tess flicking the lighter was the last little bit of her left as a passenger in her body when the Cordyceps took over her brain. The timeline checks out with the transmission time chart in the scene with the unnamed kid in the first episode, bites on the face/neck only take a little while to take over

[@fusionbricks852]

As someone who also watched the show with parents who hadn't played the game, I became very familiar with the feeling of immanent dread knowing that no-one else shared that same feeling. It was fun knowing that the people I was watching with had no clue what was going to hit them, and it was even more fun going "huh, that's differant" whenever something new happened, or saying nothing when asked about the fate of specific characters in order fill my family with a sense of dread. Watching the show with someone who didn't play the game is an experience I highly recommend

[@t_jay5159]

About the implied shot that they were in the room on the second floor, I'm pretty sure it was the room the mostly slept in before Frank couldn't walk anymore so there's a good chance that they took the extra effort to get up there because it was more comforting and brought back more memories and it would be the last time they would need to go up the steps to get there.

[@AlVainactual]

Those glasses complement the rest of the DILF look fine. Bricky going out there to charm all the Sororitas.

[@spookybones12]

18:29 whenever Brick goes into how he doesn’t like some lines that are delivered in the show I had that same gripe as well, to me some of the lines that were delivered feel like they were just read off the script

[@Qwerty-ly8qk]

"You'd just come after her" was really off in the show.

[@KingOfOnes]

I'm glad you pointed out that episode 3, while fine, lost a lot of the good from the game and didn't really add to the overall plot of the show. I also felt that the show was kind of slow in the beginning, with almost no action, and felt like sticking to the game on this episode would've both got our precious Bill vs Ellie antics and added some action to break up the quiet parts.

[@WastelandDovahkiin]

Your take on the Bill and Frank episode is one I haven't heard anyone else talk about, and I've watched a LOT of reviews and reactions. I have the exact same feelings about the episode, and I am happy that I am not the only one. As a huge fan of the game, which I've played many, many times, episode 3 was disappointing. Not because it wasn't a great story, and not because it was about a gay romance (like you said, it's great in a vacuum) but because it just wasn't the story from the game, and I think the game did it better. And yes, when I rewatch episode 3 in the future, I'll probably only watch the Joel and Ellie parts.

[@cyjanek7818]

Maybe it would be good idea to just not watch as many reactions. "Gay romance great in vacuum" doesn't work with "opinions cooked in bubble". You yourself have video that is over half an hour on that episode alone, there is no way you could add as much value to episode that is just twice as long.

[@showtime1235]

yea i think it could’ve been a good standalone movie but i prefer the bill section in the game much more

[@tinkeropsi]

My thoughts on the "Tess kiss" is that the Fungi didn't see Tess as a threat and therefor used the most safe way to transfer itself to the next host. This way it didn't need to put itself into danger. Most people would obviously fight back and then it needs to use force.

[@fightmagestudio4478]

So my best friend/adopted brother suggested your Adeptus Ridiculous podcast to get into Warhammer, and he was so successful that sometimes when I'm world building, the voice in my head is yours. It's been a delight watching your videos and learning more about Warhammer. I just got through the Emperor TTS series and enjoyed it *because* of your work. So thanks! Anyway, I wanted to offer my weirdly specific professional advice: You need bigger frames for your glasses. What you want is frames that are as close to filling your face as you can, while keeping your eye toward the center. If you go for a more rounded look, it will provide a contrast with your generally straight features. Love your work!

[@smalwex]

Your couch couple game theory is BANG ON. Played this with my wife last year along with part 2 and she adored it as much as I did

Same! We were supposed to go camping but forgot Part 2 was dropping that day and it was raining, so we camped in the living room and played it 2 days straight!

[@superpunklqgaming7531]

I think it would have been cooler if the show kept Bill alive after Frank chose to die so we could've gotten dialogue between Ellie and Bill, also thought it was weird that the show made Bill and Frank way older

[@HadirUntukAnda]

[@griffinmckenzie7203]

@@HadirUntukAnda Just a generally strange thing to do, if you ask me.

[@SydneyTravellersGuide]

That last show for ep 3 - The window thing was about showing the little picture at the end and echoing the game's launch screen. Not about "their death room"

[@EmersonFlemingEmRock13]

It’s hard because the game is just executed so perfectly so it felt like I was watching a “lesser” version of the same story when watching this show. That being said, if you’re completely new to this story, I think this show would be absolutely fantastic. I am so happy that they added in a lot of additional backstory and differing storylines, as it made the show engaging as someone who has played the game a few times.

[@cloud1306]

I really gotta say, you have a skill for succinctly summarizing your thoughts. The nuance of your review is really appreciated.

[@michaelrigney9682]

Coming from someone who also had to get glasses even though he didn't want to. Much like my friends and family in real life, the audience will acclimate to you wearing glasses, Brick. You got yourself a decent-looking pair as well.

[@lorettabes4553]

I love both versions of Bill. They both mirror Joel in opposite ways and it's great writing

[@mick-ericboettge8683]

For me it's exactly the other way around, I think the best moments of the show come from them staying 100% faithful to the game, recreating it almost one for one. Meanwhile whenever they add subplots or flesh out characters it's pretty hit and miss.

[@ursoanonimo8398]

3:06 “A mutated version of the cordyceps *virus* “ I mald a bit on the inside every time someone mistakes fungi for a virus.

[@0athwood]

This was a great video Bricky! I think most of, if not all of your critiques were not only well-founded, but hit the nail on the head. Although, there's one thing I'd like to mention about Episode 3, regarding Bill standing in the middle of the street fighting off raiders. It's easy to point and say that given his 'survivalist' character, he wouldn't be the type to open himself up to being shot at like that, but I think the reason that happens is for more than just the cinematography of his silhouette against the flames. In the strawberry scene, Bill tells Frank that he was never afraid before he came along, because now he has something to lose. And when the raiders attack, that puts what Bill values most, Frank, in jeopardy. I don't think it's so hard to believe that Bill woke up and charged out there without really thinking, because he was terrified that he would lose Frank. In that sort of situation, which is very much heat of the moment, high adrenaline, high stress scenario, it's easy to throw caution to the wind and just... run out there. Is it stupid that he didn't take cover? Yes, absolutely. But it's also fairly believable. You could also maybe try to argue that he needed a line of sight, or the darkness obscured his vision from cover, or something along those lines, but I don't think that holds as much water. Anyway, great stuff as always. And you're rockin' those glasses bro. I'll be looking forward to the next video! Cheers!

[@Pred.]

In my opinion the best way to summarize the series is just if you can play the game, play the game instead. Every story beat is better and more well developed and interesting and you grow far more connected to the characters thanks to the dire gameplay sequences (that especially help because you put yourself into those characters) and additional conversations that are not excluded due to a condensed run time, the only exception would be some additional scenes like the extended pre-apocalypse but those also aren't exactly necessary. Not to say the show is bad tho it's still pretty great.

[@ilikeboom100]

Never once wanted a video game to be adapted into a movie idk why people want that so badly.

[@amememachine8974]

In my opinion, if you have the game and the show, go with both lol. They’re both amazing

[@Taz_XE076]

The fact that I haven't played the game, only having watched the GLP playthrough, and I'd still rather watch the game tells you all you need to know about how the game isn't really a game. It's already a show that you can watch for free on KZbin...

[@matteomalchiodi7367]

Bricky, I could kiss you for how well this video is put together, major applause. One thing that I keep telling people about this show is that there genuinely a good 10 shots per episode that are desktop background-levels of beautiful. I think that within itself says a lot about the set design and the overall cinematography.

[@kip_c]

That form of reference Bricky talks about is also abundant in the new Resident Evil 4 Remake, where the expectations of the old fans are subverted without ever being noticed by new players

[@mentor62]

27:47 My guess is that the infection was already influencing her and forced her not to move. It's also why the infected wasn't aggressive but instead spread the fungi in its mouth to her to speed up the infection already present in her body.

[@chimeraelite]

I have never seen a thumbnail so cursed as I have witnessed today 😭 ty Bricky

[@link22_22]

So weird bit of insight. I lived in the city where they shot the TV show (Calgary, Alberta Canada for anyone unaware) and most of the shots in the streets were not CGI, they closed down a ton of streets in the city to shoot the show, including 11th ave which is one of the larger streets used. the only CGI from what I saw (yes I saw them shooting the show at some points) was the decayed buildings. They actually did haul out trashed cars and set up fake overgrowth for alot of the shots. 1 more tidbit, I airsoft, and alot of the guns used in the show were provided by 007 Airsoft in Calgary, and I think for a majority of the rifles you see on screen (m4s, aks etc. "Military" stuff) are provided by them. I may or may not now own a copy of Joels revolver and m4 you see him use in the show

[@pinedamartin5767]

The "Couch Couple Game" is a spot on description. My wife watch me play it everytime, like it was a serie.

[@nament3597]

[@Psycho3678]

The show was filmed in and around my city, my mom drove by as they were filming the front of the capital and later drove by the mall they used, Calgary was a good location to film.

I think that the change from the spores to mycelium was to get rid of the gamey element of spores being confined to specific rooms

[@randomhero6265]

I had the exact same thought every single time they quoted lines directly from the game!

[@epicsteven2000]

I really feel the softness to Joel's character comes from the medium shift. In the game, you play as Joel for a long while and the rage helps the gameplay. In the show you dont share that hands on experience and thus, his softness helps audiences connect with him a little bit more. This also helps with the shift for the final episode.

[@cyjanek7818]

Also playing game 10 times doesn't help with trying to be open for anything else when you know how things "should go" and this "should go" is just reinforced version of your experience on first approach. And that can be seen in his approach to parts that are just like in the game Vs the ones that are not. Parts he played - better in game most of the time. Parts he didn't play - great additions or changes* *obviously every part that isn't just grim or about asshole. But that is kinda expected there

I do like how the show is almost showing the "other" choices characters make changing their ending. Just like in some video games, the "good" ending for Bill & Frank for example. Be interesting if this explore other choices continues into season 2, and if so what storylines or characters will be different.

[@WabbaJackel_54]

I feel like when they used the lines from the game they missed some of the emotion in the lines and felt kind of robotic where in the game all the emotion was there and that may be because they can do many takes and redo lines over and over with different levels of emotion for each where when you are making a show/movie each take costs lots of money and sometimes you take what you can from certain scenes

One of the advantages of watching the series in others languages than English is that the characters are voiced by the original Voice actors of the game. And that is just awesome. Seeing bela performance while listening to the voice I'm already used to it's just supreme.

[@abrarnoorani8385]

I think part of the reason the identical lines feel off in the show is likely because the lines were probably written with their actors in mind just like the shows lines were likely written with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in mind meaning there is an inherent disconnect in styles there and even if it isn't much, it's still very noticeable because of how seamless the rest is.

[@MrJoserobo]

One thing I felt about the show was when they tried to redo scenes from game they felt lazy. unlike moment in the show which weren't game scenes the truck scene felt dull. Like Pedro delivers his lines very monotone and bella her lines like she's reading a teleprompt. With game Joel his tone a light jovial when Ellie gave him the tape. Then disappointment when hank William's comes on, Pedro mostly through the show kept his voice so flat and bored almost like he's Mando again. Joel in game was a stoic man but he always expressed different feelings in conversations with Ellie whether jokes or chiding her. I was happy at least when he raised his voice in the final episode, my sister watching with me said "Finally he said something with his chest". Unfortunately with the Marlene scene his tone went back to flat, with Game Joel having a wrath in his voice went parting ways with Marlene.

Hi Bricky loving the videos so far but just one suggestion, could you change your glasses to thick round ones?

[@Jrod310]

This show excited me when I knew my city was being used for filming. I saw the crews going around and was wondering what it was for. (KC)

[@AntonAdelson]

I'm fully 100% with you on the problem of show quoting the lines _verbatim__ from the game! I also noticed that and I never even played the game! As I was watching the show I noticed something OFF about some of the lines. It was a very subtle feeling and I only realised what's going on after I watched the game footage. The lines which are repeated just like the game, mostly feel out of place in the show. It's a very subtle difference but it's there. I don't know if it's just on the actors or if it's also the writing reason... I really don't! My guess it's the voice actors. Since they don't have to focus on other aspects of acting they can really focus more on the voice delivery and it shows. Also, actually, I'd argue that episode 3 has more to do with the plot than what the game did. Let me explain! I find that the show was MORE careful than the game to explain the ending. One of the aspects that was more explained, I find, is the question whether Ellie would've sacrificed herself for the attempt at cure if she was asked. In the show, I find that every encounter we see, just shows from a different perspective why Ellie would agree. In case of Bill's death, it showed to Ellie that some people would choose death over not living with a loved one. Which will echoes the decision Ellie could've faced: to keep living while the whole world, including her loved, potentially being infected and dying, or to commint suicide, like Bill, because she already lost loved ones like Sam and Riley (and her mum too). If you'd like, I can explain the other encounters and how they contribute to the idea that Ellie would've sacrificed herself.

I believe the infected kissing scene was to portray a couple things. One: How the infection works as a hive mind. If you noticed most of the infected bypassed her. The last one was curious and I believe it was the fungus wanting to either confirm the infection or speed up the process. Hence the shakes she was getting while trying the lighter, it is a symptom of the infection. And two: it was a subversion of the goodbye kiss. Usually couples get a goodbye kiss before the sacrifice but because she was infected he couldn't and you could see him want to during their final discussion. So it was replaced by the infected. But this is just my interpretation.

When you said 'assume she is immune'. That made me think that she could just be a carrier. Like she could still turn.

Fun fact: One of the actors for the Clickers is actually the VA for the clickers in game, hence why the Clicker noises are spot on.

Great review. You speak my mind on every notch about the show. Thanks Bricky!

I feel like the infected kids scene is just to show that oh that’s another way they spread fungus or some shit like that.
