The Last of Us 01x07 "Left Behind" REACTION | Nothing but HEARTWRENCHING!

[@dipsydoodle2728]

In the podcast the writers said exactly what you all did showing the backstory is to kind of inform people of why she won’t leave Joel even when he pushed her away and told her to go to Tommy’s and what she said about staying together as long as they can (before they turn) is why she’s fighting to take care of and stay with Joel she cares about him and loves him and Riley didn’t leave her and she’s not leaving Joel

[@erinhaury5773]

Storm and Bella had such great chemistry, and they both knocked it out of the park! Loved the reaction, you guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite reaction channels. ❤

[@jessep6330]

You didn't hold on that incredible smile after the kiss. Her face was so beautiful and heartbreaking. That moment of youthful joy stayed in my mind days after the show.

Most of the pevious episodes were "Written for Television by Craig Mazin" and "Based on the Video Game Written by Neil Druckmann. Episodes 1 and 9 were co-written by Mazin and Druckmann. This is the only one with the "Written for TV by Neil Druckmann" credit. (Episode 1 was originally 2 episodes, so they may have each written one, or collaborated on both.)

When the guy falls through the floor, it sounds like the noise it makes when you die in game.

[@kennethramsey5444]

Ellie is literally Joel’s daughter after that Scene at the end but tbh throughout the whole show like let’s be FORREAL right now and I love it Riley was a complete bad ass 🥹🤣🥰but I knew it was going to be some bs at the end but they killed this episode start to finish and did y’all see Dina in the last episode I almost cried love y’all❤️💜🤞🏽😊

[@caioserafimart]

Always love your reactions! Btw, Neil Druckmann i believe co-wrote most episodes with Craig Mazin, last night's episode is the only one where he is a solo writer.

[@Andjelka99]

Considering it's almost exact replica of the dlc with little to no change I'm not surprised there was no Craig here

[@caioserafimart]

@@Andjelka99 Yea, you can also see the influence of Neil's script with moments like the flashlight wobble haha

[@soitsdivine]

This was such a cute episode, seeing this in live action I only played the DLC once but after watching this episode makes me want to play it. Loved Riley in the game, and love Stormie Reid as Riley. This was such a fun episode until the ending 😢😢😢

[@creboski]

loved watching this flashback episode review, this episode was good character building, It was nice seeing Ellie being a bit more vulnerable with someone even though I knew what would happen. I hate that there are people on these internet streets saying their relationship is pushing an agenda, its not PLUS its cannon to the games story DLC. Ugh, people can be such jerks, I should hope people see that love exists even during the end in TLOU.

[@marymartin2154]

I swear, literally every time there's an LGBT character or relationship, there's a group that says it's pushing an agenda and at this point, it goes in one ear and out the other for me. They're going to think what they want to at this point, the people who need the representation and the understanding people are the only ones who matter and they'll give it the support that matters.

[@sofiamec8767]

LMFAOOOOOOO Not for nothing, but Cody is me, I just press buttons and hope for the best 😩

[@darkhoursofday6250]

I swear that watching this show should come with free anti-depressants. Saddest show ever. Almost every episode has had me wiping my eyes. Amazing acting and writing but damn....

[@thesmackdragon]

I agree that I wish they showed a bit more of the "DLC" arc, showing Ellie having to deal with the aftermath and even maybe journeying to go find Marlene. I kinda also wish they kept the initial scenes of Ellie and Joel where she found the mall near where he collapse and had to find something to treat his wounds, and it cut between that and the flashbacks, because that parallel was really good; but this was okay too. But I will say, given previous dialogue, I think it's safe to say that Ellie was the one who killed Riley after she turned. The biggest clues being in episode 4, where she said it wasn't her first time killing someone; and when Joel pushed later for clarification, she said she didn't wanna talk about it. That feels way too personal, where they're probably eluding to her thinking about Riley. That might not be the case, but that's what I'm getting cohesively as to how that ended in Riley's final moments, before Ellie moved on and ended up with the fireflies.

I would be too anxious to jump from rooftop to rooftop. However, 16-year-old me trying to impress their first gay crush? I'd probably do it.

[@rivercrestfallen8725]

The Last of Us is 20 years in the future so there is so much room for game makers to do a prequel of some kind. I for one want to see more of Tess. Love her so much. 💙

[@page_182]

clicked faster than a clicker 🥴

[@page_182]

also this ep made my heart so FULL

[@HoneyMelon_candle]

Hearing y’all talk about your future child ☺️ I’d fss watch the carousel vlog

[@michaelschwartz8730]

In case you were somehow worried this show wouldn't rip your heart out and stomp on it for at least the fifth damn time...I give you episode 7 😭

[@ryancole4893]

Storm and Bella did an AMAZING job!!! Great reactions! ❤️

[@Wash869]

Recommendation for you to react: The Wolfman (2010) director's cut version, this movie is underrated, but and excellent.

[@WatashiMachineFullCycle]

It blew my mind how beat for beat this was to the game, I'm so grateful and at the same time so utterly devastated 🥲

[@ScorpionStrike7]

I really liked Riley’s actress. She was in The Invisible Man and Missing

[@dragontears]

(On the "you could hire writers to follow characters experiences" or whatever... Ever heard of fanfiction? Cuz there's lots of it...)

[@Andjelka99]

Literally. I need my confort stories

[@testfire3000]

2:40 "Pedro Skin... " lol. The one time we get Pedro's ripped abs is when his abdomen is actually ripped open! Yikes! Not what we asked for! Storm was amazing as Riley. Could not have loved this episode more.

[@zen-sufi]

Y'all should check out the movie Blood with Michelle Monaghan and Skeet Ulrich. It's pretty good.

[@DCFCfanatic]

Neil Druckman said in an interview that there will be another flashback episode but he wasn't clear on when it would happen. He did say the episode would be about Ellie's mom. From meeting Marlene, being pregnant, and giving birth to Ellie. The episode would be just about her. This story would be based on a story that Druckman wrote during the making of part 1. He would have wanted it to be in the game but by the time he got done with the story, the game was finished and there was no time to fit it in. He also hadn't done any gameplay story as well. It also did not fit right within part 2. So now that he's doing the tv series, he said it's going to be an upcoming episode. Doubt it's going to be in the last two though, so it'll probably be for season 2. Next episode has Ellie meeting David and his cannibal group. Also a new character name Jason is part of the group. he is being played by Troy Baker, the voice of Joel in the game.

[@Andjelka99]

We have Ashley cast as Ellie's mum so pretty sure they'll do some flashbacks from Marlene POV in the hospital. But ih Niel talked about this already I'm little scared since last ep is like 45min long. Interesting to see how it all fits

[@creboski]

@@Andjelka99I think it will be Ashley too since Marlena knew Ellie's parents.

[@Tensen01]

If you're interested in reading a Full on book about individual experiences during a zombie apocalypse, I suggest checking out the book World War Z by Mark Brooks. It's pretty much what you described wanting, but not in the Last of Us world.

[@creboski]

Yes,, WWZ is the anthology and letters they described and the book is way better than the movie, which missed the point of the book by a mile.

[@marymartin2154]

The World War Z novel is one of my favorite horror novels and it's such a shame they made it into such a mediocre movie. They could have made it into an anathlogy film like Creepshow or VHS or my favorite Trick R Treat. Maybe some day, someone can remake it and make it an anathlogy film? Someone can hope, right?

[@michaelschwartz8730]

Storm Reid was awesome. Wish she had a better Wrinkle, because she's talented af and the book was amazing

[@marymartin2154]

I was obsessed as a kid with that book!

[@lalunadesangre1808]

Stitch!!! 💙🔪💙🔪💙

[@explodingplant2]

😢 this future should have had anti-fungal power washers

[@G3rain1]

So you want to see Ellie have to shoot Riley?
