"She stands in the light and Joel´s in the dark". Great catch.
I always thought of how she woke up, like in the womb of nature, part in a way with the fungi. Like yours better
Damn Madison good catch on that “when your lost in the dark, look for the light”, with Ellie and Joel I would have never picked that up
15:40. 🤣 Madison: "There's more?!?!" --> immediately goes for hair.
22:40 "He didn't even hesitate"
Sir, I count 7 seconds of him indeed hesitating as he ruminates on the disaster that had just befallen them.
He felt it. He hesitated. And then he did what needed to be done.
Yeah I agree he was hesitant and the look on his face told how he felt aswell . he was in pain for sure but since joel and tess are not use to expressing their feelings affectionately in the open it may seem like he
didn't hesitate but he in fact did for afew seconds.
@@matthewlee4697 yes. That was a very in-character expression of affection and pain for them both.
@@ShadowPhoenix82 👍
It’s also how he’s alive for this long
So taking 7 seconds of thought before you leave your best friend for 20 years strikes you as hesitant. Ever considered he made his mind up on the spot and just took a moment to memorize her face and quietly say his good byes without hugs or kisses, for his own sake as well as for Tess, knowing the most important thing is to keep it together to survive.
Just a thought wink
Also fun fact bout Tess: (not spoiler)
In the Show Tess was in Love with Joel, Joel was too but because of the times they live in it's hard to have feelings for someone one or admit it to them because any giving moment you can die or get infected or they can die or get infected, this is why Tess told Joel " I've never asked you for anything & I've never even ask you to feel what i feel" you can see Joel's eyes get watery a bit while looking in her eyes, you can tell they both wanted to hug & kiss eachother but because she was already infected they couldn't which makes that goodbye even worst.
I knew it was coming but I love how they changed it. They definitely made Tess more memorable here and Anna Torv was amazing, but we knew that from Fringe already!
I didn't recognize it was Anna Torv until this episode because she was so beat up in the first. My mother watched a Fringe trailer after I mentioned it because we both love and miss Fringe so much.
Need Time Machine to take us back to weekly Fringe airings 😭😭
She was also great in MindHunter
Agreed 1000% you can tell druckman loved getting another chance to perfect his story. Show Tess is definitely more memorable than game Tess
Whoever plays the video game, they will know what is coming
My greatest respect for the acting performance of the two actors at the beginning.
Imagine you are a commander in the military and you seek advice from a professor of mycology, a scientist in a mainly theoretical field, and her only advice is that you must bomb an entire city with all the 10 million people living in it in order to stand a chance against the spread of a previously unknown disease. Scientists are not exactly known for immediately calling for the execution of innocent civilians. That must really be extraordinarily terrifying to hear such a demand from the mouth of a scientist.
Another Tess funfact: (no spoiler)
In the show Tess even has a bit more back story, you can see how Tess starts to show slowly that she is starting to like Ellie & Ellie starts to like & respect Tess, kinda seeing her as a Mother figure, Tess's motherly instincts were being subtly shown very briefly, hitting that Tess must've been a Mom or had a family before the outbreak, & according to Director Craig Mazin, she did.
During the outbreak her Husband turned first & infected her Son, Tess kills her husband, but couldn't kill her son so she locked him in the basement, so this is why Tess & Joel loved eachother & stuck together & did so many fucked up shit together for years to survive & because they had both lost their kids, so they found comfort in eachother cause they were connected & had a common & similar trauma connecting them to one another.
More fact than fun
I knew it!!!! I felt, hard, that she had a son. I don't know why, but it just bled through her character.
@@17thknight yeah, Craig Mazin the director confirmed they all worked on some new Tess back story, planned on shooting it & had to cut it, kinda wish they had showed us that cause i bet it would've made her sacrifice at the end even more impact full to us.
Her poor hair is not going to last this series the way she plays with it when stressed lol
7:04 Madison, you definitely got it!!! I'm so happy 😘
+ms.v1768
I didn't even catch that at first!
That's a real good attention to detail!
@@thealjohnsonshow2188 ☺
Madison’s anxiety freak out over the clickers had me crying 😂😂😂😂
Apparently, the actors who played the clickers were all fans of the game so that's why their movements were spot on. Besides guessing the flour as being the contamination source early on Eric Voss theorized Tess dropped the lighter because of her involuntary twitching, I like to think she dropped it deliberately because she decided to go out her way with her humanity intact. Either way, it was some outstanding acting from Anna Torv.
They ain't the walking dead guys, every single infected is still alive in there.
Yeah, that's the tragedy of Last of Us, right? They're all puppets, not corpses. They're alive, trapped in that body for who knows how long before the consciousness dies.
Which makes its worse for both the victims and the survivors. It is a living death. The Last of Us made a Zombie Apocalypse preferably. That is scary
Bro I love how into it this girl is whenever she watches something🤣
You two are definitely one of my favorite reactor couples on UA-cam. Love how invested you get into the content.
+KerrRobinson
I was wondering if they were dating or not.
Deadass, I legitimately thought they'd be siblings.
the fungus can not control the host if it's dead
Remember that infected are alive not zombies. So dead person in the beginning could not jump at the Professor cuz they had already died and since the fungi cannot control a dead organism.
7:03 OMGGGGGG I've watched a ton of reaction videos for this show and not one single person has ever noticed that before! I love that parallel so so much! 👏🏾👏🏾
As an Indonesian , i always terrified when i'm imagining some kind of outbreak start in Jakarta, we can never contain it. Like covid, we failed to contained it. Jakarta is so big, and connected to 4 cities around it, no borderwall, no gap, you can only see the border from map. You walk on some street in Jakarta and won't realize you already in another city. Any outbreak start from Jakarta or any cities connected to it will spread like wildfire.
Nice reaction video. The clicker designs were so well done. RIP Tess.😢
what i love about the last of us is that it’s not another game about brainless zombies.
The people don’t die they get controlled, which is so much worse when you realize the runners cry and sob… i do believe they lose consciousness after a while
The theory is at the beginning stage of runners the person inside is fully aware, but has no control over there body. But then at stage 3 when they become clickers they are completely gone.
"i mean their not gonna do that though" lol. they bombed everything lmao.
I like how emotional madison gets…it makes me relive the show, even tho ive watched lots of reaction videos.
I recently found you channel and immediately subscribed !! Would love to hear your thoughts on something! Normally completely blind reactions are my favorite. But with Last of Us, the fact you’ve played the game makes it FAR more entertaining! I think it’s because even if you know the story, you are experiencing this version for first time. With just enough changes, to the storyline, even the gamers are guessing a little. Most fascinating is it seems like people who’ve played and “died” themselves in the game, feel the tension and relief way more than non-gamers!! So glad to discover your channel!
love it when she fix her hair every stresfful moments 😂 Love your reaction guys!
When i saw the kid in episode 1 in Sarah's class starting to shake his hand, omg that was scary. I understood in a way all the decisions made by Joel, even by the guard trying to kill them, and now. The severity of the situation they dont have medicine and most importantly those machines to detect who is infected or not, because back then not everybody got infected because was bitten, but because what they ate.
I LOVED how they did Tess' death (despite being SO sad to lose her so soon l, i loved her)
I loved seeing genuine fear at her oncoming death. As soon as Joel and Ellie closed the door behind them, of course she was determined, but she's human. And she's alone. The way she starts breathing quickly in fear felt so real, and the infected coming to her and connecting into her mouth was so horrifying too.
I just love they chose to do it that way as opposed to a "bad-ass" way, which wouldve felt a bit contrived maybe?
Loved it. So sad :(
Lets take Covid as an example: people were warned that this started in China and they still let people in and out of that country. This is how you get a pandemic or worse every single day of people not following the rules or just not caring about others let to the current world we live in.
I don't play the game but God damn both episodes have been incredible. I think I have both cried and been terrified in both episodes.
Man if you haven't played the game, just give it a try. Also the sequel TLOU part 2. They are masterpieces for a reason.
@@thihaaung647 yea the games look great and I have heard nothing but amazing reviews. I just was never much a gamer and when I did play it was mostly sports games haha.
I played and it still somewhat upset me that Joel robbed humanity of a possible cure
@@tauceti8060 Bruhhh...Ellie is like a daughter to him. Besides, Joel is a broken man with a terrible past. After everything he's been through, he doesn't wanna lose another daughter. I know it's selfish to rob the possible cure for humanity but we all get selfish for who we love eh?
With this type of outbreak I'm not sure finding patient 0⃣ will matter.
The Cordyceps made this evolutional leap on its own.
I'm not a scientist though so not sure
The Indonesian scenes are worthy of accolades..superb acting 😮
Those 14 people in Jakarta wasn’t necessarily the sole reason that it spread so fast. It was all just the flour production and such. A lot of countries got flour and grain from Jakarta and used that to make lots of foods. That’s why Joel, tommy, and Sarah didn’t get infected in the beginning. They ran out of pancake mix and Joel forgot the birthday cake. Then they go outside and see the grandpa feeding grandma food that might have been made with flour or grain. And then the auntie made raisin cookies, and Sarah changed her mind and decided not to have any. It’s the little things like this which give it so much depth.
Also, with a lot of the major cities being in complete ruin, it is implied that they did attempt to bomb everything and everyone. But it was already too late. Even if they had listened to Ratna, so many people around the globe have eaten their crop, their flour, their grain. The patient that they examined wasn’t even patient zero and 30 hours had already passed since then. They already missed their chance to try and do something about the fungi.
Fun fact from the TV Tropes website:
"Word of God is that Tess was struggling to work the lighter because she was already being rapidly taken over by the fungus and it was affecting her motor control, and not moving away from the Stalker because if she fought back or ran the Infected would rip her to shreds. She spent her last moments of life full of terror and dread, being physically violated and battling her own body to save herself from a Fate Worse than Death and to protect Joel and Ellie."
Awesome reaction you two! We need to send a care package with tissues and a stress wig.:)
I've also been really impressed with how well the show has been sticking to the game. I've seen some criticisms of the changes but at least so far I've been fine with them: it's fun to solve puzzles when you're playing, but watching others solve puzzles is boring. Same with the combat: in the game you need more combat and more variety of enemies so that you don't get bored, but watching a lot of combat that doesn't have any emotional weight gets monotonous really quick. Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin obviously understood all that and made a few of those changes appropriately. It's funny - the game came out in 2013 but I feel like after the last couple of years and the pandemic that they whole thing hits different now and you feel a bit more invested in the possibility that something like this could potentially happen which makes it much more intense as well (at least for me).
Looking forward to next week! Cheers
I loved the game and I love this series now. They did the clickers so damn f***ing awesome! Disturbing and terrifying af!
The cinematography, the score, the atmosphere, the emotions ... just perfect! They are so good at building tension.
There are so many shots I would love as a picture at my walls. I need the last scene with Ellie at my wall
“That was really sad”….you just wait lmaooo it gets way more depressing/sad. BEST GAME EVER
These first 2 beginnings are awesome
If the bite were what she showed Joel, she would have already turned. What Tess showed Joel was how far it had spread. This is why Tess was so urgently trying to get to the rendezvous point. She knew she was on a tight timer. Remember, a bite on the foot only gives you 12-24 hours.
7:45, the woman who plays Tess is Anna Torv. Her aunt is a former wife of media mogul Rupert Murdock.
A few years back she was the lead character in a sci-fi show called Fringe on Fox. On the show she and her team of scientists and agents investigated odd scientific phenomena. It was a great show with trippy plots. Within the storyline of the show her unit was considered a successor to the X-Files.
I've been waiting for your reactions! This show has been really good so far. Can't wait for more! 🖤
"He's like, "Let me show you what we got." Lmao. Exactly 💯 😆
You guys always have some of my fav reacts! This show might be one of my fav video game adaptations at least so far!
Why do I look forward to Madison playing with her hair when things get scary!! 😩
You're not understanding how the "zombies" here works, the fogus needs the hosts to be alive, so when you were worried about the female in the slab with a bullet in her head, you shouldn't be, her vitals were no longer working. Therefor only the fungus was mildly active.
Edit: for example, it's not like other zombies franchises, here you can strangle a clicker and kill it. Or shoot the liver and wait to die. Be creative.
3:31 "What if she bites her?"
They shot her. There's a bullet wound at the center of her forehead.
16:17 "...she missed"
Yeah, Tess killed the wall instead
You try hitting a clicker in the game while you are panicking 😆 🤣 😂 😹
@@nickvanderlinden7165 Hence my Tess killing the wall instead comment
If looking for a truly unique movie viewing experience, try "One Cut of the Dead". And the best way to view it is to go in completely cold. Not trailers, no synopsis, no nothing. It's really something special, but can easily be spoiled even with a single word. And the best way to watch it is with its original Japanese dialogue with English subtitles. (And to ease doubt about viewing it cold, there is no nudity or gratuitous gore and violence).
They did listen to Professor Ratna - it's what prompts Joel, Tommy and Sarah's conversation about Jakarta at the breakfast table two days later in the opening of episode one. And honestly, a country like Indonesia is better situated for a move like that than most Western countries - it was the military who came to get her, remember... As Tess mentions later, they bombed all the major cities, although it was mostly ineffective.
8:46 it seems even the streamers that have played the game don't remember the Bloaters and Stalkers. Clearly the Clickers are the most terrifying of the game, and the stuff of year-long nightmares lol 😅
14:23 should be the thumbnail to this video lol
Love your reaction guys also i realize the infected that ran pass tess was because she's already infected except that one that stopped maybe react to the fungus inside Herr since there all connected.
Yeah, I think that one was just adding her to the collective faster, but it wasn't aggressive since it recognized her as one of them.
@@ShadowPhoenix82 Yes if she wasn't already infected and if she tried to fight them they would have swarmed her and attacked her.
You guys need to use a proper headset to hear the clickers xD
16:10 Her reaction. LMAO!
Thanks, Madison! Thanks, Christian! 🧟♀ #MACReact #TheLastOfUs #TLOU #TheLastOfUsHBO
I love you guys, keep it real!
Thumbnail had me thinking Chris Broad had a reaction channel.
I love the hidden details... it started in Jakarta, and found in a victim from a grain factory. So the grain/flour was infected and shipped worldwide.
Now remember the scenes from the first episode: neighbour granny getting a biscuit put into her mouth... Joel forgot to buy the cake... no pancake breakfast...
Joel on Atkins diet.... Sarah rejecting the cookie because it was wrong flavour...
That gives another question: early how many secured places gave flour/baked thing afterward to the survivors, not realising how dangerous it is.
Even months later if someone loots a store or a house for supplies....
By the way probably it wasn't a kiss from alien point of view, it was an easy entry point to enter, to infect. TBH it was the most disgusting thing i have ever seen... yuck.
I'm conflicted about bombing. Yes if you kill half a million/million in a city center it's less infected, but also faster spread because you can't lock door, hide, since structures are damaged. And minimum 10% will survive. But less comes out.
Same goes for fire/napalm. There are many ways to kill humans with no structural damage: machine guns, chemical weapons/military gas, etc.
Also if it is worldwide soon you cannot destroy the nests but make safe zones with high strong walls.
it's fascinating the differences, ways of these infected.
1. normally they only spread fungus by wounds/blood. (and Mouth. yuck.)
2. the clickers are heavier mutated, blind and "see by making clicking sounds and hear the echo (Echo localisation is possible, there are even a few blind human that can do it, literally know there is an obsticle and can avoid it making clicking sound)
3. No airal spores (nests/more rare variants might do it): I wonder why Joel's face isn't covered in mask all the time (Pascal in the Mandalorian... :))
I love this change, we see more of the wonderful acting, which is spot on by the way.
4. Fungus wired telegram: well their alarm system is frightening... You killing one may alert the whole zone....
5. intelligence: they do attack instantly, but not mindless: they seem to have basic brain so won't run into a stake, fall into holes like lemmings, etc. More like
a rabid animal, too mad to use complex tactics but not only motoric functions.
6. Are they zombies? I think not. The living victims get infected, and the fungus spreads in them, preserves them, etc. etc. But this have no effect on the dead.
So that "first" found victim who died from gunshot will never rise again. Once killed you can "safely" toss the bodies into fires so the fungus dies,
transport those found positive and used medical ethuansia and died are safe to transport. So when they found the fireflies all that died are safe, but there was one
only injured who turned.
I wonder what the story will be, except a few milestones from now on they can do whatever they want. Which is exciting.
Also hope they will show more flashbacks, so far they were super intresting.
The only thing I want want WANT is them looting. Grabbing ammo, grenades, first aid kits, foods, etc. etc. It's an important part of this how to survive world.
You guys need to watch the BTS that come at the end of the preview on HBO MAX just like HOTD you guys would love it. If not maybe watch it after the season is over and watch them all at once. Keep up the great work!
You guys are awesome
Love your reactions.
When i was watching the show, I didnt realize this was the place they were supposed to take ellie. It seemed so close? I thought marlene was wanting her taken across the country, to that school where the monkeys were at.
Another great episode that kept us on our toes - gutted to lose Tess (even though I knew it was coming)! Can't wait for the week to pass until E3!
“Omg it’s untouched up here” me: *start singing tiktok song* untouchable untouchable
Love both reactions and i can tell you two played the game before
U dont bring this up but i heard that in the game, they arent even trying to get a car battery…they are looking for weapons
In last week's episode that doctor said there was nothing that could be done if fungi evolved to attack humans, that claim is repeated here by the Indonesian doctor. I would suspect that someone in the position of these two doctors would know about the fungi eating fungi--Trichoderma--it specializes in eating the exact fungi used in this show. So, even IF it did jump to humans, we do have a medicine.
I’m not much of a gamer (last game console I played was PSP) so I’m going in this show blind with no idea what to expect
Really nice reaction...
A gunshot wound to the head, means the person is dead. Why are you scared of her biting or jumping off the table? She's DEAD.
This isn't a zombie show...
Still infectious but thanks for the adolescent rage
You’re a grown ass man get it together.
Relax… life doesn’t have to be this serious bud.
This show is amazing
i am watching all of your reactions and my dude, you sound like mordecai from regular show lol.
Since you guys are loving the last of us, you should definitely check out kingdom. It’s another zombie apocalypse show set in ancient Korea. It’s an original Netflix show.
ELLIE is gunna feel so bad because in just 2 days 2 people died so they can protect her
When the fungus expert goes straight to carpet bombing the city as the solution, you know we're fucked.
except.. they 1000% bombed all the major cities 😂 it’s crazy to think about
These aren't normal zombies. If you're shot in the head, you're dead.
You guys should react to Trainspotting I and II (especially the first one) one of the best movies of the 90s and a cult classic
That autopsy scene definitely wasnt my proudest
23 : some women got bite
24 : jakarta call prof ratna
25 : joel birthday
26 : joel didn't eat that cake..
The clicker in show much scarier in the game they are terrifying and they seem strong I think
Will never eat bean sprouts again.
🤘😝🤘
Very good reaction, Sorry, can you react to The Raid 1 and 2, and The Night comes for us (Netflix Original) films. These are Indonesian films that are well-known and even admired by Zack Snyder and Samuel Jackson. Thank you.
Tess was a O.G.
My complaint with Tess in the show vs the game was 1. She didn't get any badass moments. 2. No signature bandanna. 3. That weird kiss 💋 at the end. 4. More on-screen time.
Doesn't know how to swim or how deep the water is, but knows how to "ding" the receptionist's bell, and that there are "suites" in hotels...it's always in the details.
I mean - either do it right, or don't do it at all.
She mentions she reads books. It’s easy to learn about physical stuff and the dialogue around it from books. Can’t really learn swimming or know how far down the floor should be from a one though.
Bomb
No way the military would have let the mycologist leave, she too valuable. They would have gotten her family and kept all them safe with other higher ups that didn’t turn
"She didn't even eat her sandwhich"
Rationing in a Post Apocalyptic world: Am I a joke to you?
The left side of Madison's head will be bald in a few years. Luckily it'll probably look cute. 😄
Well, according to IMDB Anna Torv is marked for 5 episodes... I hope that was not a spoiler guys!? I didn't mean it to be if some ppl take it that way!👍 just fyi
Thanks for the spoiler numbnuts
Im sorry bit if a clicker attacked you in the real world, like the show is trying to convey, your scared asses would just shoot. The clickers are strong, fast, tough and durable. Even, if you shoot it in the head, the fungi has turned into an armor. The clickers were humans who have been infected for over a year. The clicking is echolocation since they're blind. The way they did it in the show shows a more realistic situation. Meaning, its not as simple as just , "shooting them in the head". Like everyone is saying in all the reaction.
what's a clicker?
Bella Ramsey is awesome❤❤
Man in just two episodes they killed off likable characters (Sarah & now/episode 2 Tess) 😢😢😢
Can yall please stop blurting shi out that y'all would do in real life this is a fake TV show this is not real life good God 😒
best reaction ever , thanks !!!
The most fallout looking not fallout show! Hope the fallout tv show will be as good as this!
