"Why would you drop your weapon?" If you played the game, you'd know he only had one more swing with that wrench anyway before it shattered.

[@Ay3shizzle]

I really love how the series is not a shot for shot of the game but it honors the source material while taking liberties and also keeping some impactful game moments or even altering it. It really does feel more expanded upon.

[@sneakyguy4444]

Same, that way even people who played the games aren't truly sure about what's going to happen. Cranks up the anxiety

[@Ay3shizzle]

@@sneakyguy4444 indeed

[@Fairburne69]

The walking dead did this and that is why it was so successful. Vox Machina is doing the same thing with great success.

[@wtimmins]

I never played the game, though I suspected something would happen to Sarah. I've watched a dozen reactions to this, and I'm still tearing up.

[@Hustlemandalorian]

The actress playing Sarah, and Pedro both deserve all the awards. That scene absolutely wrecked me.

[@erod19969]

Watching this blind is the best way. The story is awesome. For the gamers, the changes in the show only add to the story and not take anything away.

[@victorewah2659]

Not only did Sarah's death do a number on me but also once I realized that every time Joel looked at his broken watch it remained on the time that his daughter was shot since it was damaged when they rolled down the hill together.

[@Gous]

😱

[@swhaw]

to make it worse it stacks with the day and time everything went to shit but also the night of his birthday, even though it was like 2 am, technically the day after, he never went to sleep so it would have still felt like his birthday. Shit is heart breaking.

[@Hustlemandalorian]

Omg I didn’t think of that 😢😭

[@swhaw]

@@Hustlemandalorian Yeah it really adds to the heartbreak.

[@mark2graves-movies689]

I forgot you guys were watching this. So glad to watch along with you. Can't wait for Sundays!

[@aoife3052]

I love this show SO much, first played the game in 2017/18 and in honour of it I’m getting a tattoo that says “when you’re lost in the darkness look for the light” on Monday!! It’s such an amazing show they did so well with this adaptation

[@jwedsonnn_214]

i had the same reaction to the time jump😭 i was just sitting there in tears and it said “20 years later” and i was like “wow ok”

[@Ay3shizzle]

Me playing the first game I really loved this first episode. Pedro as Joel broke my heart losing Sarah. And Bella is sassy as Ellie and I love it!

[@kevinmatthew1050]

I never played the game but God damn the first 2 episodes were incredible. I was crying and terrified all in one!

[@thedarkknight2221]

The opening for this series was completely different from the original game yet it was so freaking perfect! It described how dangerous fungi and Cordyceps specifically EVEN BETTER than the game! And even the entire Outbreak Day flashback was somehow even done better. My heart was pounding the moment Sarah woke up. I’ve played the game 7 times already and thought I could prepare myself for Sarah’s death, but nope, I was almost as broken as Joel.

[@jackmcglion8337]

There's some similarities between both openings. But I see what you mean. Both are really good though.

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

12:10 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.

[@Mangolite]

I like how the first episode gave us just enough character arc for Sarah for us to be fully engaged with her, whereas in the game, you play as her from her perspective with an even shorter time before all hell broke loose. Here, she has fear and doubt because she had been in the city all day, including fixing her father’s watch as they suspected that the spread was from being in a populated area. However, the actual main reason was the flour used to make cookies, pancakes, cakes, and biscuits, which the Adlers fed their elderly mother, which explained why she was the first to be infected in their family.

[@gacchan]

glad you're feeling better and can't wait to see the whole series

[@gregwillett2710]

14:50 - high Temps are basically the only effective weapon there is against the fungus. Combats weapons can work too - but fire is the best guarantee

[@kanejpov]

I HAVE MISSED YOU GUYS AND NOW YOURE REACTING TO MY FAV SHOW IM SO HAPPY

[@jatilq]

A nice reminder why I like your reactions.

[@astinmelorin7950]

Oh I am so excited to watch your reaction. Can’t wait to experience all the heartbreak with you guys 🥲

[@TheMovieCouple]

Us too! And we can't wait to catch up. Hopefully we can watch ep. 2 in a couple of days. Lots of catching up to do.

[@Debrutsideno]

Hope you feel better Dustin. Something has been working its way through my workplace as well. Not covid but whatever it is has sidelined a good number of employees (including myself). Oddly enough my wife hasn’t got it (knock on wood) which is good. Glad you two finally get to get caught up with Last of Us. It’s so good. Enjoy the ride. Be well 💙💚.

[@Ay3shizzle]

Hope you’re a lot better now Dustin.

[@TheMovieCouple]

This was filmed before our most recent community post lol 😂😅

[@Ay3shizzle]

@@TheMovieCouple oh lol. Well nonetheless awesome to see Dustin back on his feet

[@TerryYelmene]

This was a good start - "Looks like they're going to go dark." Yeah, that's a fair assumption!

[@TheMovieCouple]

Haha

[@0xyc0dwrestling]

1 year late to the reaction but i absolutely loved this.

[@Rose-bw8kd]

You guys are smart. I'm impressed.

[@hellowhat890]

It's so crazy how lucky Joel and Sarah initially managed to avoid being infected... The radio at the beginning is reporting about an incident at a factory in Jakarta, Indonesia which is home to the biggest flour mill factory in the world. Same scene where there is a comment about no birthday pancakes as originally planned. Later, Joel and Sarah are offered cookies from their neighbors but he refused. And we also see the old lady being fed bread. Sarah also avoided eating cookies again because she's disappointed that they are raisins and not chocolate chip. At the end of the day, Joel forgets to pick up a birthday cake. The entire first day of the outbreak, they avoided infection which I thought was really cool.

[@EricHammond01]

I love your videos you're my favorite KZbinr

[@testfire3000]

never played but loving the TV series!!

[@pklivin1]

yup, get ready for emotional roller coaster, this show will not disappoint you and u asked how the granny got infected, well u will get the answer at the start of 2 nd episode. loved ur reactions!!

[@Carmelmen1]

Sarah's death was so well acted

[@bretbret8293]

Early best show of the year contender. I'm lovin it

[@pds8475]

To think the fact that Mrs Adler was making raisin cookies and the fact that Joel forgot to buy a birthday cake is the reason that they wasn't infected.

[@chwilhogyn]

Nico Parker is a spitting image of her Mum!!

[@liamdamon]

I knew she looked familiar and then when I read that her mom was Thandie Newton, I definitely saw the resemblance.

[@MrBlackBono]

Yahhooooo I was waiting for this🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DrStrange_177A]

The cookies Pancakes mix The birthday cake The biscuits All flour shipped from Indonesia . They dodged death 4 times in one episode 😂

[@TheMovieCouple]

Omg

[@thaliameyer7215]

Hope you feel better soon. 🤞👍

[@DAN_IBEZA]

Hope you feel better Dustin

[@gregwillett2710]

This was fun

[@wtimmins]

Best of luck with health!

[@lccoleman3]

THE BISCUITS!!!

[@neikenlody2933]

love this

[@cookie4851]

during the breakfast scene on the radio u can hear something about a wheat plant in Jakarta Indonesia, as something is happening to the factory, and during the first half of the ep u see ppl eating wheat based foods such as cookies whilst the main cast don't, lucky Joel didn't buy the pancakes and cake or they could have been infected

[@jonathan0225]

that wrench was 1 durability for sure LOL

[@TheMovieCouple]

Lollll

[@shainewhite2781]

Best Video Game Adaptation Ever!

[@jaydivine1769]

Feel better buddy! So glad y’all are reacting to this! Better late then never!

[@frkzoid]

The dog had more sense than everybody. It wanted to get in the house with Sarah because it knows it's safer to stay inside the house but she wanted to take it back so it thought "I'm out of here!"

[@TheMovieCouple]

I always feel like if the dog wants to nope outta there, we should probably trust their instinct.

[@MethosFilms]

Get better soon

[@VADallasCowboysFan]

Keep that distance man stuff can carry pretty easily. And as much as I want to say things I will not spoil this show for you. But if it continues like this the show will blow your mind

[@zimvader25]

Lol why does everyone say “close the door” like he’s not carrying his girl in his arms?

[@CatDuckChu]

why couldn't this have been one video like everyone else?

[@TheMovieCouple]

Have you ever edited over an hour and a half of footage?

[@DinmaBeats]

Last of us just got greenlit for season 2 sad to say there using the storyline of the second game 😩

[@corporealghoul]

I put this off because i was like "no way dustin hasnt played this game. I want to see the fresh reactions first." Aaand WTF YALL HAVENT PLAYED IT. okay binge time.

[@hqb5276]

Part 1 😂😂 first reactors to do that for Last of Us.

[@TheMovieCouple]

easier on me for the editing part of it ☺️

[@alexandershaw5603]

Part 1... yay... 😒
