Watching your reaction was so fun. I've played the video games and I am loving the series so far; it's doing some things differently but staying very close to the source material and story. The actors are knocking it out of the park as well!

[@xregox7628]

Was just watching through your Lord of the rings reaction and hoped you would watch this! Freaky fact: the fungal thing the man at the start was talking about, it’s a real thing that happens to insects!

[@trentsutton896]

Played both 1 and 2 . Amazing games but it’s the story that makes it. And they have done it justice! Such a great show

[@thelastofnicole]

Happy to see you're reacting to this Pilar! I'm someone who has loved the games since they came out back in 2013 so it's fun to see people who don't know where the story is going! I hope you like it 😊

[@CritterPaladin]

Just remember, it's not a virus. It's a fungal infection. (And the things with the fungus zombie ants is real.) Great reaction. Great story, and pretty darn well follows the game (though it does expand on it.)

[@icarus7217]

Hola Pilar, nice to see you again, you are going to love this, the story is amazing. Pedro Pascual is amazing in everything, Nico Parker as Sarah was incredible. Great reaction, looking forward to future reactions, take care. ✌😊

[@tobydion3009]

So glad you're reacting to this, love your energy and thoughts on things.

[@SlickAstley_TV]

Cordyceps are very interesting, they've been used as medicine for a very long time but all wild strains grow on insects. Cordyceps Militaris has an orange, club-shaped mushroom that grows on a species of moth in Nepal, but has now been developed to grow on nutrient sparse substrates, instead. It's used to help your cardiovascular system and is being studied for other uses as well. Also, great reaction, much love!

[@hannahabbot4250]

So glad to see you back! Looking forward to your reactions!

[@Danny0dbert]

Piler good to see you back ! I think your going to really enjoy this show. Have a good one.

[@cutelilpenguin85]

Girl I laughed out loud at your face superimposed next to Oberon 😂 Fun reaction, and I love how you connect with the characters. I hope no one spoils this for you, it’s a great story. Enjoy!

[@brianshepherd9740]

Hi. Thank you so much for uploading this awesome reaction. I love your content so much because it's so amazing, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows.

[@BasicallyStevee]

Welcome back, Pilar! This show is amazing and I was hooked from the start. And also, Pedro Pascal is hot. 😍

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Me encantó tu reacción Pilar!!

[@rebecaohara3029]

Pilaaaaaar te extrañé!!! Que buenos que estás de regreso ❤️✨

[@MrJerOrt72]

It'd all based on real science. Watch the ants video. Keep the vods coming, enjoyed it!

[@nickgaming00]

Love your reaction 😃love your facial expressions, Emotions also your body language tells a lot ❤ I’m happy have you chose this show. Thank u for making these videos for us such a blessing I love ur accent. Hope your have a blessed day may god be with u and your family 🥰💙

[@MKF30]

Enjoying your reactions Pilar. Happy New Year btw!😊😃

[@Kyss111]

I love your reaction to this!! 😆😆

[@vitorsoares9289]

The ending music is from Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again, the lyrics have a lot to do with the development of the series about the relationship between Ellie and Joel !!!

[@saadesigner07]

You picked up on a lot of small details that most non gamers have been missing. Good job, and can't wait to see your episode 2 reaction.

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

12:00 I cried at this point like a toddler, even though I saw the scene in the game and reactions x times and knew what was happening. I was very skeptical about Pedro and Bella as Joel and Ellie. But they do it incredibly well. It feels straight out of the game. Also the others ... Nico as Sarah, Gabriel as Tommy, Anna as Tess. All done great. Merle as Marlene anyway cause it's the same actress as in the game. 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. So damn close to the game plus more informations and filled gaps. Absolutely masterpiece!

[@jubilantsleep]

Hi Pilar! ❤ Thanks for reacting to this awesome show!

[@davidgomes969]

In The Last of Us universe there are no zombies, they are just called infected since they are not dead corps, they are being controlled by the fungus infection which is hosting in them :P

[@fuzzy__dunlop]

Yay!!!! Pilar!!! I've missed your vids.

[@oxhine]

Hey, Pilar! The premiere is scrupulously faithful to the game in every way including story, dialogue, production design, sound design, wardrobe, props and characters. A few embellishments like the 1968 prologue, the elderly neighbors, the wandering boy and the familiar FEDRA guard customer actually add context and enhance the drama. Neil Druckmann, who created the game, is producing the show and HBO is obviously letting him influence the production. Craig Mazin, the showrunner, previously produced "Chernobyl". That wasn't a clump of hair in the old lady's mouth but fungal tendrils. As John Hannah's scientist explained, the fungi seeks to propagate so these zombies don't feed on you but instead seek to transmit the spore aggressively. As the cordyceps fungi blooms it erupts out of the central nervous system of the host in several horrific stages ultimately rendering the body into a moldy tableau plastered to the wall. The spores were airborne in the game requiring the use of gas masks in areas of high concentration but the show will be dispensing with that since an airborne contaminant would have afflicted everyone in 20 years except those in hermetically sealed rooms. That's the reason for the vector being fungal tendrils extending from the mouths of the infected in the show. The infected are NOT animated corpses but living people aware of their condition yet completely controlled by the fungal growth in their brains. This happens in real life to insects like ants whose colonies expel the infected. Many nature documentaries have covered this topic. The increased temperature serving as a catalyst was a new explanation provided in the show to reference the issue of climate change. Ellie is the most valuable human being alive! Humanity is on the brink and her immunity is the hope of the world. The actress playing Marlene, Merle Dandridge, actually portrayed the same character in the game! The '60's scientist was played by John Hannah known for "Four Weddings and a Funeral", the Brendan Fraser "Mummy" franchise, "Spartacus" and "Agents of SHIELD". Anna Torv, who plays Tess, is best known for "Fringe" and "Mindhunter". Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are both "Game of Thrones" alums known for Prince Oberyn and Lyanna Mormont, respectively. Pascal is, of course, Din Djarin as well from "The Mandalorian". Uncle Tommy is played by Gabriel Luna who portrayed the Robbie Reyes iteration of Ghost Rider in "Agents of SHIELD" and the Terminator in "Dark Fate". Nico Parker, who stole the show as Sarah, is Thandie Newton's daughter! The video game is one of the most extraordinary journeys you can take that will haunt you forever. The sequel is highly controversial but even darker and deeper than the original!

[@blehblehblehhaha]

I lol'd at the part when you said he should've left a note for his daughter before he left, cause that's what happened in the game.

[@yosifpetrov3087]

Great reaction....the best I have seen so far and I have seen at least 15

[@yasminsdutra]

Pilar, I love you so much. I’m so looking forward for your TLOU reactions 🥹

[@weirdversions]

Heey, I checked your channel yesterday to see if you were doing last of us 🤣

[@andreanovelo3422]

Pilar as always amando tus reacciones jajajaja ya soy tu fan bye

[@martinmillar7137]

Actual cannae belive they pulled this off tbh..massive massive game and they in this episode knocked it oot the park.. one of my all time fav opening episodes to any show ever.. 8 more to go ha

[@maxvagnoni6276]

hi thank you for this reaction ❤️

[@KolorfulDreamsArtKda]

Amaba ver tus videos de reacción de la Casa de Papel, me mucho gusto que ahora estés subiendo videos de The Last of Us. Soy super fan del videojuego desde hace 7 años, así que no te imaginas qué tanto estoy amando esta serie.

[@polaaa]

"Honguitos, por todos lados" jajajaj

[@nickvanderlinden7165]

Don't overthink it so much, the show gives you all the information you need. Just experience it.

[@texn7526]

Great reaction! Thanks so much for sharing🙂 As a gamer I can probably say with confidence that the community overall is in love with this adaptation, so far. Yes, there is minor differences in the tv series but overall doesn't detach from the spirit of the game. The scene where Sarah dies....WAY worse in the video game, imo. The acting with Pedro and Bella is amazing! Bella specifically has captured Ellie's feisty, outcast, kiss my ass attitude completely. Pedro...what can I say he's epic in everything he puts his mind to. Just brilliant both of them. The last thing worth commenting on, is that the tv series is giving alot more backstory that was never offered in the game. Example: The opening scene where the scientists are discussing fungus and the effects on the human body/the world was never part of the game. A happy change like many other tidbits throughout the episode🙂 Thanks again loving your reaction channel☺

[@martinmillar7137]

Bella haß been incredible.. obviously no spoilers but as a massive tlou fanboy i guess..i couldn't see bella not being ellie now..she was amazing...likewise with pedro... for me wednesday was yhe tv event of a generation..i think it may still be tbh but tlou is right there..amazing acting and writting...

[@captainofdunedain3993]

The best opening scene of my entire life!

[@FabianGimenez96]

No me lo esperaba, justo acabo de ver el capitulo 1 también 😅

[@shep4life]

Perfect premiere episode. Amazing show

[@valentinolema4601]

As a fan of The Last Of Us i was so happy to see you reacting to the new series, i remember your reactions de la casa de papel and this brings me so much nostalgia and joy, looking forward next episodes and your reactions. You should definitely play the last of us if you get the chance, it is my favourite game since it came out back in 2014 Also, a curious fact, the soundtrack is made by gustavo santaolalla so, that is our national pride right there.

[@OAranda_]

"Honguitos :3" Morí... xD

[@josesepulveda9306]

Hola Pilar, me encantó tu reacción y sobre todo como teorizabas sobre Ellie, Sin hacer spoiler te digo que para los protagonistas los zombies serán el menor de sus problemas, sobre el hongo, en este caso el cordiceps existe, búscalo en documentales para que te dé mas miedito la teoria de evolución de este hongo, y con respecto al parecido con el juego dejamen decirte que hay escenas calcadas como por ejemplo el de la toma dentro de la camioneta que tanto te gustó, esta serie está siendo muy fiel en todo sentido y por eso los que jugamos el juego estamos tan contentos. Saludos.

[@007NowOnline]

Great reactions.

[@cliveklg7739]

Nico Parker, who played Sarah, is Thandiwe Newton's (formally Thaddie Newton) daughter. She looks so much like her mom, and seems to be just as talented an actress. The problem with people leaving is they are worried when people come back they'll be infected and won't tell anyone and then it spreads inside.

[@dearkazuscorner2549]

Hola mina!! Great reaction as always Pilar! You're gonna love the funguitos! Also, your reaction proofs my criticism of the episode 1 ending. The important thing, the big reveal of the episode, the fact that Ellie is inmune, and therefore special and super-valuable, got diluted in the scene because they focus on Joel's flashback and anger. The way they shot it was a bit confusing. Still, the show has been pretty good so far, I'm sure you're gonna love episode 2! Y como mejoró tu inglés desde los dias de GoT! 👏👏🥰🥰

[@rwwilson21]

I know I'm probably not the first one to mention this, but the actress who is playing Marlene is the same actress who did the mo-cap and voice of Marlene for the game. a couple of the OG actors from the game are gonna have roles in the show. Eps. the two lead actors who played Joel and Ellie.

[@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.

[@ShantalhaitianPrincess]

'"shes nice I like her" lol girl this is the apocalypse trust no one glad to see you reacting again me and my sisters love your channel🤗😍

[@Fangtorn]

As someone who's played the game many times I'm really impressed with how well they've adapted it. They've stayed true to the story while adding new things that make it exciting for players, because we don't know _exactly_ how things will play out, and there's new characters and new information we didn't get in the game. The things they've changed make sense and don't detract from the story. I encourage you to play the game. I actually think with all the difficulty settings and accessibility features it's the perfect choice for someone new to gaming.

[@martinmillar7137]

Just as an example..the plane crash..that was unexpected lol and it was epic..the sound design was so lush aswel.. madness.

[@SathReacts]

So happy to see you watching this. There won't be any Daemon, but I'm sure you'll settle for Pedro...

[@jamesdaniel4706]

Ermm I was just looking at you and listening to your accent haha. But yes it's beyond brilliant

[@thomasjuniardi3559]

So glad you watch another Papa Pedro amazing TV show 😁👍

[@Marko-ij4vy]

6:11 Its funny that every single reactor who havent played the game mention how he should have left the note because in the game he actually did leave a note. Probably not in the show or they havent shown it or she just didnt find it. In the game he left the note on the fridge.

[@michaelswaggert1659]

As your question at the beginning about hanging the people. Anyone that goes outside of the controlled area to find supplies and comes back in could possibly bring the infection with them and everyone could die.

[@mathisbailey794]

You look like the singer Aaliyah....great reaction.

[@mathisbailey794]

@Pilar's Little Studio you're stunning too 😊

[@martinmillar7137]

That plane crash btw was a big change from the game and it looked and felt amazing..seeimg it again gave me goosebumps..

[@martinmillar7137]

Just found this and now I binge 😁

[@martinmillar7137]

@@pilarslittlestudio already am can't wait to watch all of it and see the perspective of someone who doesn't know the source material.. so far so good you wouldn't stop for that family 🤣 noooooor me lol

[@BeastModeGaming2013]

I'm new here, just subscribed, me encanto tu reaccion del show, I'm a big fan of the games I've played the original on PS3 back in 2013 beat 4x then i bought the PS4 remastered beat that 3x & played Part 2 beat that 2x, & because of how great the show is i plan on re-buying the PS5 Remake & beat that after the show ends lol! Big fan of Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey & Gabriel Luna & every actor in this show is absolutely perfect & are killing it, I'm also an Actor myself & i had the opportunity years ago to audition for this show, for a character you will meet later down the line, glad you are loving the show so far.

[@Nahn8to]

Hello, I really enjoy watching your reactions. They’re great! I was wondering though, if you had any thoughts on speaking in both English and Portuguese like you would in your older videos. It was one of the drawing points for me to your channel because of the learning aspect behind it as well as the uniqueness that it brought. Maybe conduct some kind of poll? I totally understand the move to speak mostly in English for your audience and I’m happy either way, but it would be awesome if you reintroduced your other language again. Hope you have a nice day, and I can’t wait to see the rest of your Last of Us reactions. Cheers!

[@annabethchase2569]

The fungus zombie thing is real, there are some insects like ants that are affected by this. It is called cordyceps.

[@brandonj7458]

Omg Pilar I know who you remind me of for WHATEVER reason....MARIA GABRIELA DE FARIA....also I'm so happy you are watching this it is a GREAT GAME and story

[@12chapin]

Hello Pilar. First thing, these things are not zombies. Second, haven’t played the game either. The scientist said the fungus keeps the host alive, while zombies are undead. If one could use a general name for the infected it would mostly like be Cordyceps, which is the fungus that started it all. There are different types, like the early one are known as runners.

[@toluez]

No se nada de ingles pero disfrute tu reaccion Pilar. Siguiendote desde La casa de papel. "Honguitos por todos lados " jajajaj

[@12chapin]

This is an awesome show.

[@herbertsonlee7666]

Love love

[@charliepepper333]

Hello Pilar…hope you are well! 👋 This is based off of most likely the best video game of all time! So far it’s very close to the game’s overall feel.

[@bbwng54]

If you truly like zombies, react to "Train to Busan" which is one of the best movies in the zombie genre. It has multiple character arcs, great acting by a child actress, a notable despicable actor, constant suspense, and social commentary. Even zombie connoisseurs who are skeptical watch and enjoy/love this movie

[@brandonj7458]

Omg she will LOVE it....Train to Busan is an INSANE MOVIE....scary and suspenseful and THE EMOTION. The level of acting in that movie is incredible

[@piotrziemba2257]

cool that this fungus is real :D

[@martinmillar7137]

Sarah dying was always hard even though you never really knew her in game..it was a wtf moment...it had a certain gravitas.. this show elevated that to new levels.. by simply adding a few scenes with sarah at school and at the shop and her neighbours etc..it made sarah a true bone fide driving force for the show and for joel..and thus made the death scene frigging even more devastating... loved that opening..it was perfection imo.

[@martinmillar7137]

Ps as a comment on the 1st reaction (and aye av seen every ep lol) how amazing is that HBO title screen man? Epic..and so nostalgic if ya played the game..but epic in typical HBO fashion..i never skip it 😆

[@marcelocueva7538]

No sé que emociono más si este capítulo o la copa del mundo 🤣🤣🤣

[@fatguyinatesla5780]

Tommy sounds just like he does in the game too

[@sebarage1]

1- Ellie es inmune . 2- el cordyceps es real , solo que actualmente afecta a los bichos. 3- Fireflyes es un grupo que busca la libertad de la cual el mundo está viviendo un régimen dictatorial y además buscan la cura .

[@jamezguard]

Ok friend. You are the boss

[@HonestOpinions4u]

Some of the scenes and dialogue are 1 for 1 with the game, making it a very faithful to its source material. Exciting to see you reacting to this 😊🩷

[@fatguyinatesla5780]

On KZbin search for zombie ants. This is a real thing. The fungus infects and controls the ant and makes it move to an area where the fungus can grow best.

[@BlasTorralba]

Aaahhh no me esperaba que fueras a reaccionar a esta serie. Mejor que no hayas jugado al juego para que así no sepas que va a pasar jaja. No como yo que cada cosa me la espero jaja. Pero las cosas nuevas añadidas también gustan. Lo del niño del principio siempre va a doler pero me gustó como lo trató la mujer para que no sufriera. Te explico lo de la mordedura de Ellie por si no la has entendido (NO SPOILER): Si te fijas en la escena del niño infectado... Enfocan un cartel que pone cuánto tardas en infectarte de Cordyceps dependiendo de donde te muerdan. Pues a Ellie la mordieron hace 3 semanas según dice ella y no le pasó nada. Lo que quiere Marlene con Ellie lo sabrás en el capítulo 2. Sino entiendes el tema de los Luciérnagas y Fedra, básicamente son diferentes facciones que están en guerra como pasaría en cualquier apocalipsis. Espero haberte aclarado algunas dudas. Yo después de ver el 2 porque es buenísimo me muero por ver el 3 y duele esperar una semana jaja.

[@roderick8167]

Awesome reaction I just subscribed to your channel 🙌, yeah the 1968 opening really freaked me out and even though I've played the game before now because of this show I'm afraid to eat mushrooms and I love mushrooms this show ruined mushrooms for me😂😂

[@RatedRLoquender]

If you like Attack on Titan season 4, you’re gonna love TLOU season 2 when it comes out. It has many similarities about themes and stuff like that.

[@caribbeanman3379]

Fungi does in fact pose an increasing threat to us as global temperatures rise. But don't expect to see human zombification anytime soon. These types of evolutionary adaptations take millions of years to happen so we don't need to worry about that. But we do need to worry about fungal diseases posing a greater threat.

[@tom_thumb9637]

If you are thinking of playing games please try the “Little Nightmare” series, all kinds of scary and so fun to watch.

[@nimnim431]

ITS NOT A THEORY! ITS REAL!

[@Dark__Thoughts]

If you have a decent enough PC, the PC version of the first game is going to come out in March. There's also other good zombie games, like Project Zomboid, which is very different, no story, non linear, open world sandbox type of game.

[@panntasatan1706]

After this show, you should DEFINITELY start Breaking Bad if you haven't watched it

[@nukiesduke6868]

bruh this girl is gorgeous holy hell.

[@omarg9342]

The infected are still alive unlike Zombies that are reamimated dead. Which makes this a little more believable since its based on real science. LOL ,aint nobody got time to close the door when your being chased and your carrying someone.

[@aranerem5569]

How's it going?

[@FuckingXander]

It’s not so much the leaving that they have a problem with is the chance they could come back and bring the infection inside to everyone else.

[@analmf1210]

Right, because is not a zombie theory. Zombies are as real as the easter bunny. This thing, cordyceps, is a real fungus that affects animals, mainly ants, not humans.

[@herbertsonlee7666]

I played 3 or 4

[@mjenningssmith]

When I watched it I thought red meant negative as well. Not sure why they would’ve chosen something ambiguous like that.
