    It’s important to know that Druckmann and Mazin decided to change how the infection works. It’s NOT spores anymore, but more of a tendril system.

    The polar opposites between Nico Parker and Bella Ramsey's characters is so nicely juxtaposed in this series premiere where one fears killing while the other embraces it. The scene with Bella's character Ellie seeing how Joel just lunges towards the soldier and beats him to death, you can see in her eyes that's what she wants realizing she has to stick with him.

    • @netflixandchinchilla
      @netflixandchinchilla Рік тому +17

      I feel like it's a bit of a different take on her character from the game. I don't really remember her ever embracing killing at that point in the story. In fact in the game she says something like "I thought we were just going to hold them up" during this scene after the soldiers are killed. It'll be interesting to see how her character develops in this version.

    The whole Sarah death scene is a great example how they managed to get this done. It is basically the same as in the game, yet it feels a little different, at least to me. The game just made me really sad, of course I was also shocked, which couldn't happen here, but this sadness was different. To me it felt much closer and uncomfortable, the way she squeals (I don't have a better word) when Joel tries to lift her, went right into my bones. We meet Joel as a capable man, who knows what to do, but when he held is dying daughter and said "Tommy, help me" or whatever, that hurt.
    It's just the first episode but I really like how the differences to the game are just enough to make it feel standalone and unique. We got the same or similar feelings just in slightly different ways. Tommy getting arrested is such a minor change, yet it tells so much! A dude in a bar attacks a waitress and Tommy steps in, is a great progession of the outbreak, it shows that Tommy is someone whose instinct is to help, not to look away (we got that later in the car, when they drive by the family who needs help) and it deepens the relationship between the brothers, they care for each other, even if it is inconvenient.
    And they don't waste time on "look what great easter egg we got here!" moments, which is great. Sarah wears the same shirt as in the game, which is great, yet it doesn't distract you from what's actually going on.
    Really great first episode, I'm so excited for more, this show will fuck me really good.

    The very opening for this series was completely different from the original game yet it was so freaking perfect! It described how dangerous Cordyceps was EVEN BETTER a than the game! And even the entire Outbreak Day flashback was somehow even done better. I have 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.

      I think there is a good balance so far in this episode at least. I am cautious with at least 2 episodes being fully dedicated to side stories/character arcs (First being Bill And Frank's Tragic Love Story and the second Ellie & Riley) taking up time between the 9 episode order (as one of the criticisms from the reviews I did read that covered the whole season expressed how rushed and less impactful the second half is).

    Forget it being a good adaptation. This singular episode was some of the best tv I’ve personally seen in years. They made Sarah such a deeper character in half of a episode. To the point that I’m knowing she’s gonna die but hoping she doesn’t. Then am crushed when she is laying there dying. Actually watching her go fix the watch and the world slowly descending into chaos. See much more of Joel as a flawed over working yet great father then the flip when he just throws a infected child into the fire pit. The look on Tommy’s face when he knows Sarah is dead. Elle being the shit talking kid but with the slight change of her already being such a survivalist ruthless little girl that you really don’t get until half way through the game after the whole cannibal scavenger thing. Because of course. She’s an orphan born and raised in the apocalypse. Of course she is more ruthless and willing to just stab Joel off the bat or stab the guard. Overall great first episode
