- "When You're Lost In The Darkness"
It's finally here! UA-cam has been playing with my emotions for almost 12 hrs, but the video is finally approved! I can't express how impressed I am with this episode and I'm so excited to watch the rest of the season with you guys!
Youre one of the first reacters to say a nice thing about the Fedra officer with the child in the beginning. It cant be easy and she could have just left him alone but she chose to comfort him.
@@renx81 There were a couple that understood why they killed the child but never gave kudos to her for being nice. Others were mad she lied.
There's a really good video by a psychologist talking about the episode who comments on the pain in her eyes when she sees the result, but also comments on how, despite that, she continues to comfort the kid. The performances of some of the side characters is so good along with the direction to make sure those little details are there.
@@EhrineAshbark Truth doctor has some of the best media reactions out there.
Somebody else pointed out that Joel and Sara avoided Infection like 4 times in the beginning. Fungus grows on flour and on the radio you hear issues in Jakarta which is a major flour producing city. So... they don't have flour for the pancakes, they reject the biscuits from the neighbor, Sara leaves before the cookies are ready and Joel does not buy a cake.
Mycelium can spread via flour hence they avoided infection.
Scientists have mentioned that the specific cordyceps that can do that to ants did so for hundreds of thousands of years... and so far didn't evolve to do that to any other insect when temperature isn't a problem... So the chance it manages to adapt to our temperatures *and* our brain are ridiculously super tiny, they say.
All that said, from a narration and science fiction point of view : that intro scene is perfect. And it's a perfect setup for this kind of story cause it's credible enough to be super scary.
I imagine we didn't get subtitles in the watch shop scene because they still wanted the viewer to be as alienated as Sarah felt in that moment, as to what was going on. Puts us more in Sarah's shoes if they do that.
It pays to have a diverse group of friends. Haha.
18:58 Another sad point about the watch is that she gave it to him on his birthday, pretty much the same night she dies. So his birthday will also mark her death anniversary.
Love your reaction to "what if the world gets warmer?" lol That was my Leo Dicaprio pointing at the screen moment. 😂
Minus the creepy sexual hiccups, I presume.
It was a lovely touch that Sarah brought over a DVD of Curtis & Viper 2.
It's the movie that Ellie wanted to watch with Joel in Part 2. And Joel loves that franchise. We also see a poster for the fourth one in the game, and Ellie remarks how it was Joel's favorite.
The micro expression of the FEDRA Officer when the test came up bad was borderline perfect.
As a viewer who has already binge-watched the available episodes via several other reactors, I gotta say I loved your reaction so much that I'm craving your next episodes' reactions and actually loving your spoilers. Glad you're enjoying the adaptation!
Originally in tlou 2 when Joel was almost dead and Ellie begging them to stop Joel originally had a line were he said “Sarah” to Ellie which would have been even sadder
Took me watching like 3 reactions to consider the glare from the kids "ticks" was probably fungus starting to control his muscles. Just how much the focused on it I was like "whats the purpose of this scene?"
So the song that plays at the end of the episode is "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode who have been around since the early 80's...and one of my personal favorite bands. But yeah I feel like in years down the road the series and the games will act as wonderful companion piece's. Never plaid the game but now I totally will. But yeah Cyn, awesome reaction 🤓😁👍👍!!!
I always have a tendency to say “You don’t get a second chance at a good first impression”; this series is already a beautiful exception to that statement, rebottling the lightning that made the first game so beloved and a very high contender for favorite video game adaptation for me.
after recently having played the game for the first time since it came out, i'm REALLY enjoying the show changes 3 episodes in. what works in the game doesn't always translate over into a show format so it makes total sense they change things up by developing brief scenes in game into a more story driven production. i love these games but a lot of it is just sneaking around and slowly exploring for stuff punctuated by cut scenes that propel the player forward. LOVING THIS SHOW SO FAR!
just when I was wondering if you were gonna take us with you on your journey watching this series 😭 what a great day to be blessed by Cyn's reaction to this brilliant show 💕
Don’t worry, Ellie’s knowledge doesn’t surpass yours. She had a whole music almanac to choose an 80s song to break Joel’s code.
Here after watching her video game playthroughs, but if I haven't said it already Cyn is smart and I love her voice.
I remember someone who spoke Arabic translated what the clock shop owner's wife was saying and to paraphrase, it was "I've been talking to my sister on the phone and you have no idea what is happening" followed by "You're finished, give it back to her then!"
13:21 I believe in the game the explanation for Joel being gone has to do with a confrontation with the neighbors. Why that occurred at 2 A.M. in the morning after putting Sarah to bed is definitely unclear. Getting Tommy from jail makes much more sense.
Basically what Sarah goes through in the show is what Joel probably went through in the game.
‘If u like any combo of raisin or oatmeal in a cookie, im going to assume you’re a sociopath’ lmao
10:18 You did far better than most. I watched an Egyptian UA-camr who was able to get the full message. "I just got off the phone with my sister, you have no idea!"
I actually really love the way Arabic sounds. I have a good friend from Morocco and sometimes I'll implore her to briefly speak it.
It's a shame, the negative light our government so haphazardly cast upon all those who "fit the sterotype."
There are a lot of beautiful beings that get discarded by cowardly group think as a result. 😕
Best reaction from a gamer I have seen (and I have watched every reaction I could find... YT keeps throwing more at me) on to Chapter 2
I'm so glad you're reacting to the show! I've seen through Ep3 so far and while it does differ from the game in places, I have been fully supportive and happy with the changes. The game gives certain restrictions to what you can do with a playable story. The show allows some exploration that wouldn't be feasible in the game. So far even with the differences, I feel both are very true to the overall story.
8:00 I love how it shows her getting Joel's watch fixed. In the game I assumed she bought him a watch, which would be a lot more money. This fits the story better.
8:45 That's "Desert Storm." The invasion of Iraq after 9/11. Fits perfectly with the timeframe. Also ties in with Sarah asking if the infection was caused by terrorists.
11:35 The dog breaks my heart every time.
12:20 It wasn't on screen in your UA-cam cut, but did you notice the movie they're watching is Curtis and Viper 2?
13:50 LISTEN TO THE DOG!
37:40 "That blew every expectation I had for this show out of the water."
And the beautiful thing is - from what I've seen, it gets better from here.
*hides my oatmeal raisin cookies*
Loving your reactions and commentary; one of the most perceptive and informed of them all! Looking forward to more reaction vids to the episodes that follow.
Confirmed that Joel is the little spoon when cuddling with Tess.
I though this was always a fact 🥱
Watching fellow fans of the game reactions is such a beautiful treat.
All the actors are great in this. Special shout-out to the dog playing Mercy, he's killing it. 🙂
Glad to see you watching this. I hope you upload episodes 2 and 3 before the next episode is out so we are all caught up.
There is also a season 2 incoming, so that’s nice, I have seen every episode and it’s getting better and better! Great to see your reaction 😘
I’ve rewatched the first second of this video an unhealthy amount of times.
Ayy, I'm very glad you noticed the clicker on the roof! Most reactors didn't. Nice eyes! Lol
So amazing you have uploaded, can't wait to see your reaction to this... You are one of the reactors I have been waiting for😍
There were no subtitles for the arabic shopkeepers because we were taking Sarah's perspective the whole time, and she didn't understand them.
Fun fact that kid in the school that was twitching.... You already know what's up... And as for Tommy in that bar the guy went crazy because of the infection
Can't wait to see you go through the series and especially episode 3
I was playing the PS5 remake of the last of us, sure i'd seen a playthrough on ps3 back in the day but most of it just kind of faded from my memory, so going the hardest difficulty really made me think "I would die in this apocalypse so easily" Lmao
It's really well made especially the collapse of society like in the game that's actually my favourite time in these kinds of end of the world shows, the chaos and unpredictability Fear the walking dead and the walking dead's flashbacks to everything falling apart is the most exciting parts for me.
The last of us makes me wish a zombie apocalypse were to never happen, most likely you're still in your body against your will is the stuff of nightmares. But yeah I agree with the way they delved a little more into how the fungus changed and functioned more than the games I wonder if stuff from the show will carry over to part III
Last of Us videogame = everyone is estranged. I'm glad they changed things up for the show show.
really enjoyed the reaction. looking forward to see your reaction for the rest of the series
Any Fan of The Last of Us is a Fan of Mine, You got My Sub!
I like oatmeal raisin cookies :)
Loved reaction, loved hearing you!
Hello Cyn, thank you always for amazing content. You are a devoted gamer whenever you have the chance to upload. The Last of Us, is one hell of a show! It’s Astounding!
I enjoyed your reaction, This looks like it's going to be a great series.
He probably should have gone through Pittsburgh lol
Nico Parker looks so much like her mom, and seems to be as talented. She was fantastic as Sarah.
Super great performance
Its a good job the neighbours were cooking raisin cookies and not chocolate chip. It was also lucky Joel forgot to bring back a cake.
This is how they avoided the infection.
Never played the game but did know the basics of the story and I am loving the show, I watch a lot of nature shows and adding some realistic science really makes this more chilling
Jeffrey Pierce did the voice for Tommy in the game and they bring him to the show adaptation as Perry in a later episode
Hey, oatmeal raisin cookies are great. So, I guess I'm a sociopath.
Hello Cyn, thank you always for amazing content
You made this gay man so happy that your reacting to this series. I found your channel during ur Dying Light Playthrugh. I thought now this is a fabulous diva. I had to hurry to finish my own reaction to episode 1 also on my channel. so I could watch yours. I also cant wait till your reactin to episode 3. Thanks for being such fabulous person.
I'm happy you enjoyed!! I'll have to check out your reactions 😁
The world will always win no matter how people view the world.
Nice reactions.. Btw new subs here.. Might as well follow you from now on.. Yeah i think your left behind schedule, we are on the episode 4 which is coming.. anyhow looking forward again to watch you.. Keep it up.. 😊😊😊
awesome reaction... you know your stuff.
Don’t you hate it when the people on the screen do NOT listen to what you are telling them😂😂😂😂
She finally remembered the password to this channel.
Lmao a youtuber's worst nightmare 🤣
A small correction; During the opening flashback and intro you kept mentioning a Cordyceps virus. There is no virus involved, the Cordyceps infection being purely fungal in nature.
Other than that I'm loving your reaction so far. There's a lot of reactors out there watching the show, but you're on of the very few, it seems, who's also knowledgeable when it comes to the game, and it's extremely cool to get that perspective as well. Being a veteran of the games myself it's nice to hear the thoughts and opinions of someone else in the same boat. I think the show is doing an amazing job so far, of keeping true to the source material while still including some differences in order to give it its own identity.
15:32 Idk, i just found it interesting that you said "is that Jimmy's place before Tommy says the same line, because in the game, thats not "Jimmy's place". Its "Louis' farm".
Wait... how did you know that she said: "sister" when there was no subtitles? Unless you understand a little bit of Arabic which is pretty cool
I thought orange juice was universally loved o_o
It's not science-fiction, by the way. The WHO specifically points out the threat of fungi in relation to global warming. I absolutely love the cordyceps exposition, something that was only ever hinted at in the games.
They nailed it.
Hey now, lover of oatmeal raisin and proud, don't @ me
👍👌
Yay :)
Wow your real knowledgeable, knowing where Jakarta is and understand a bit of the Arabic didn’t expect that
i think Cyn have that smart girl vibes, isn't she
The Goddess of youtube bringin in the God of TV shows :D
This was filmed where I live
Welcome to TLoU Crying Hype Train.
You were expected.
Please take your seat and enjoy the ride.
Tissue paper is free and widely available on this emotional damage carriage.
I love you
i played through both games ages ago and after this series started i played them again and you know what.. they are just as good and Scary AF as they were the first time around.. and this series is sooo close to the game it is fantastic so far.
In 10:00 this woman speaks Arabic I speak Arabic she was telling him I was speaking in the phone with my sister you have no idea what is going in 10:06 he said I’m already finished and then she reply to him than give to her already
What are you talking about? Orange juice is great.
I hope this reactions have more succes that House of dragon 😊
i keep checking your patreon thiniking about joining... But you dont tag your posts so its going to be hard for people to find what they want to watch having to scroll through everything. patreon groups up stuff by tags kinda like how youtube does playlists
15:31 Nicely failed. It's not "Jimmy's place" in the game, but "Louis farm".
You're apparently not wrong. Jimmy was apparently the name of the first neighbor to attack Joel and Sarah. Some rando named Louis owned the burning house
Ahhh, I missed the clicker on the roof!
You're as cute as ever..
We always lose.
Based on this episode alonrle, if fhe scientist says a cure is not possible, then why bother saving Ellie?
The immune system coupled with genetic mutations make for an interesting field of study!
Same way zoonotic infections work a mutation here or there and now a virus/bacterial/fungal/parasitic infection exclusive to animals has jumped to humans!
I need to confess, I do not like tLoU gameplay wise and I do think the plot is kinda Oscar Bait "deep but not really" narrative wise.
HOWEVER
I'm thoroughly enjoying the series so far and my only real criticism is Ellie (not Bella Ramsey or her casting)
I feel they have fast forwarded her character too much too early , shes too confident and dominant in her scenes and Joel is too subservient and passive in general after 3 EPs, again there is room for this to change and I'm not writing anything off so I'm still hopeful
:)
"by the way - the dog is acting"
15:32 in the game that farm is actually Louis' place. But! A guy named Jimmy Cooper is the runner who bursts into Joel & Sarah's house.
And yeah, it is on the opposite side of the street lol
I CANT BELIEVE THAT THE SHOWRUNNERS WOULD DISRESPECT THE GAMES THIS WAY! THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF ALL THE FANS!! lol
41:00 Precisely. Ellie's immunity is a natural abnormality. The cordyceps DID infect her, but mutated. Making it inaffective. To the point that despite tehcnically being infected, Ellie is not a carrier.
Seeing a lot of people, not you, put a LOT of weight in the scientist's "not possible to make a vaccine" statement. And you got it. To him, based on the knowledge & circumstances of the time, that IS impossible. But I am sure that if he ran into Ellie's situation, his views would be challenged, to say the least.
My take on it is that there was no vaccine or cure until Ellie. She was born in infected times and she is the first naturally immune person to be born.
"Fungal virus".
Come on Cyn. Do better.
Bella doesn’t look like Ellie but if she can convince me she is Ellie then it doesn’t matter
I agree. No spoilers but so far I think the script soes not do that.
@@eschiedler Yeah i feel like shes really trying too hard
She fucking kills it as Ellie. Looks more like Ellie than Ashley Johnson
Yea give her a chance. So far she embodies Ellie's character I think..
What's the obsession of grown men online complaining about a live action character not looking like their 14 year old animated game counterpart? Creepy and cringe as always.
One thing people might overlook is that Tommy is in jail for fighting an infected. Also my heart always breaks when Tommy shoots the innocent nameless soldier even though I know it' coming. /s
Please no spoilers. A lot of us didn't play the game.
There are "the last of us game movies" on youtube that combine all the cutscenes and some gameplay elements so you can watch the whole thing as a movie. And funny enough, the game is even more cinematic than the tv show itself.
I recommend everyone that they should at least watch the first 10-15min of the game
First
HBO is not the big screen
what is wrong with young adults these days? 90% of reactos I've seen, turn their nose up at the sweet, soft, chewy, goodness of oatmeal raisen, Twice as good as a hard, overcooked chocolate chip cookie....and the batter thing... ok I 'get' pancakes, But waffles are yummy, and fried chicken and beer battered shimp, hell cakes, and muffins, doughnuts, and my Absolute favorite Stroopwafel (crepe-version of a waffel with any kind of sweet yummy goodness you want to put inside it)
YES. So glad I found ONE other person saying this haha. What rh hell is going on? I've watched at LEAST 5 different reactors trash Oatmeal Raisin Cookies during that scene. A well made oatmeal raisin cookie is better then almost any other cookie. Especially chocolate chip. And I will stand with you until the end in this!
Oatmeal raisin cookies are delicious
18:30 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 am a big fan of the game also and 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!
The song in the end is Depeche Mode with "Never let me down again" from 1987
that girl is so far from Ellie....... they gotta stop making games into shows.
