Portraying a pedophile as a cannibal is one of the best descriptions I've ever seen on TV. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, devouring a kid's innocence like that is just as vile and unspeakable as devouring human flesh.
I agree but I'm pretty sure this was also the case in the game where David was also shown to be both a pedo and cannibal. So it was more just the show following the game for accuracy but I agree the concept is definitely smart.
@@sofia-cv2pw Bella’s acting is amazing! Also did you know Troy baker was in the episode (the one who played Joel in the game) he was David’s right hand man, James.
the thing that stands out to me the most in this scene is how ellie can't even talk after what's happened. she doesn't say a word after she escapes from david and james, she can't get a full word out even after joel finds her. she just stutters and blubbers, it's all she can do to hug joel. it really drives home how horrific and traumatizing what's happened is for ellie.
You took the words right out of my mouth, she just looks at him trying to say a word, but just stuttering and mumble like you say, so freaking real😥breaks my heart 💔
Its even worse since she's apparently trying to assure Joel. If you listen close, you can hear her say "he...but I'm..." (so most likely what he planned to do, then Ellie saying she's fine when she's so Obviously Not ☹️)
I found this episode probably the weakest in the series. Not to say its not good but just the way Ellie is able to easily take on multiple grown men and kill them on her own without using a gun was kind of unrealistic. Would have made it a little better if Joel saved her at the end
The line where David said "the fighting is the part I like the most!" was legit disturbing! Not just the line but the delivery! Scott and Bella were great in this scene!
Thats what made me realize what he used to do and what he wants to do to ellie. Bc the scene is not really clear u could only take a guess but that line confirms it all.
I love how he calls her “baby girl” bc it shows to me how far they’ve come since him calling her “cargo” which broke my heart before. Now it kinda feels like everything’s been repaired and she’s more like family to him now.
Not only cargo but referred to her as bad when she asks (on more than one occasion) "anything bad in here", to which Joel replied "just you" Even though it was treated as a harsh joke, the way Joel says it gives the impression he's being genuine.
Yess! Exactly my thoughts. My heart melted when he called her Babygirl just like he used to call Sarah. And yes, when he called her "cargo" that was quite hurting
Do Americans really need to be told everything? The ‘you’re cargo’ line wasn’t even in the game but I guess Hollywood needs to spell everything out for their viewers
Its funny how David's own hubris was what led to his death. He had Ellie pinned down and the minute he reaches for his fly, he lets Ellie go allowing her to grab the cleaver and kill him. He was so absorbed in his own sadism that he didn't care that the building was burning or that Ellie had access to the cleaver. Real psychopath.
I am still confused whether David was just a cannibal or a cannibal plus child r@pist because initially he didn't want to r@pe Ellie and just chop her into pieces and eat her
So it was confirmed by your comment then, that he was trying to rape her? That was my theory the whole time!!! U know what they say, great minds think alike!
@@prasanjeetnayak8253 I think the whole point of him trying to rape her was to assert his dominance over her. She had resisted him the whole time even going so far to kill James. In his deranged mind, chopping her into pieces wouldn't have been good enough.
This scene cuts a lot deeper when you’re a survivor of assault, or know someone close to you who is. Her rage and fear is so intense and chilling, especially if you’ve been through a similar situation or have witnessed the aftermath of a loved one who went through it.
Definitely. These type of scenes send of triggers to my brain, but I will watch them repeatedly for the satisfaction of the revenge, the karma and the deserved beat down.
Yeah... ...And as such, there should have been a trigger warning for victims of sexual assault. You never really know how this scene will impact these survivors. Even though this was an attempted rape, as Ellie managed to kill David before he could go any further, this scene could still potentially trigger painful memories for some victims.
@@SonicGamerGirl2006 I'm not denying triggers, I get triggers. I'm not saying how triggers affect everyone. Leave the room or pause the show if need be. Maybe because I grew up in the 90s where trigger warnings were not really a thing, we need to learn ways to manage on our own because not everything will have warnings. Also, if this scene which was extremely mild and you had to catch what he was saying and understand why he allowed Ellie's hand to get free in the first place...maybe don't watch a show about zombies...
@@SonicGamerGirl2006it’s a show meant for adults, it doesn’t need a warning wtf? It takes away the impact of the scene for everyone who doesn’t want to know something shocking is about to happen this episode
Bella's portrayal of blind rage was absolutely amazing. I can't imagine anyone else playing Ellie. Scott's performance as David is very convincing too. It hard to pull off that kind of despicable, but he knew who he had to be and every one of his lines infuriate me yet terrify me to my bones, mainly because people like him actually exist. No amount of intfected, clickers, or bloaters could scare me as much as him.
@@bryanribey It’s not the look that sells the character, it’s the portrayal of the character’s personality. I would take quality acting over a look alike actress any day. But that’s just my opinion!
I don't know about that, the rage and the screaming in this scene for me I found to be really cringe and uncharacteristic of Ellie, I can still seperate and interpret the show as it's own version of The Last of Us instead of comparing it all the time but I think Sadie Sink is a better actress that matches closer to Ellie's personality and looks in the game's version
That extra bit the actor did where he’s trying to undo his trousers was extra disturbing and horrifying. Plus, Bella’s rage screaming when she kills him really packed a punch to her trauma. They both did a fantastic job in these roles.
David's little laugh and saying he likes when "They fight back" and "don't be a baby there's no fear in love" with the way he had her pinned down genuinely made me sick to my stomach
if bella doesn’t get an award for the stabbing scene, i will riot. her screams were so full of rage and despair and it pictured the anger after sa perfectly. edit: just so people stop replying to this comment from literally almost a year ago 🥰 idek why i put ‘i will riot’ but my point still stands about how well bella played it and it definitely does picture the anger after sa perfectly. i still stand by the award thing honestly 🎉🎉
I know some folk will be disappointed that Joel doesn’t stop Ellie and comforts her and if I’m being honest, I did find the reunion in the game to be a bit more emotional. Not to say that it wasn’t in the show mind you. However, I think what the show does better is demonstrate how horrific this would have been for Ellie. Joel doesn’t arrive to immediately comfort her, she has to process what’s happened by herself for a bit, as do we. With everything that just happened and having to commit such a savage act of violence in order to survive will scar her and it clearly shows that here.
The more I watch this new version of the scene the more I like it. I do wish the music was kept the same but it is what it is. I still loved the episode.
Or it's just more realistic that he wouldn't have time to comfort her in that way in a building that's about to burn down so they decided to just put it just outside the building?
The devs said they wanted the audience to expect Joel will save the day...but that it MUST be Ellie that saves herself! I found that extremely cathartic.
A detail in the change I couldn't help but notice (and why I prefer it over the game, narrative-wise, since it's a crucial moment for Ellie to "harden"): if Joel barged in to immediately comfort Ellie like in the game, the timing indicates he may have actually been able to save her life, if she failed to reach the machete. On the show, she brutalizes David until she's exhausted or "snaps out" of her rage, and after some indiscernible amount of time, escapes the building - implying she was truly on her own to survive every critical second of the terrifying ordeal (absolutely no way Joel could've saved her).
But it fits, right? In the whole episode we see Ellie not only surviving on her own but be the one who protects Joel. David tried to convince her that she is aggressive and brutal like he is while instead we see that she is in fact brutal, but like Joel, who becomes like a monster when he needs to protect the ones he cares about.
That is a good point, although one could argue that if you don’t reach the machete in time in the game David does kill Ellie. But I guess Ellie dying isn’t technically canon, so maybe not a valid argument? I’m not sure.
If Joel entered the place like he did in game, it implies that Ellie had a way out all along but fail to find it. I like the perspective of the show, where the locked doors and fire prevented Joel from entering so Ellie absolutely must overcome David to escape.
She plays the ‘not knowing to laugh or cry’ from the massive mix of emotions and shock is absolutely brilliant, when Joel gets her at the end it’s so emotional, bonded for life and it’s acted so so well.
One thing I really like is how right after Joel calls Ellie babygirl, you can prominently see the watch his daughter gave him, and it shows that connection in a way
When Joel finds Ellie in game and she says to him “he tried to….”wouldn’t have made sense to say in the show as Joel wouldn’t have known who “he” was as he found her after the fact. But Bella still attempting to say “he” and not being able to get it out followed by “but I…” was amazing acting. I love that they made this change in the show while still trying to stay true to the game dialogue as it helps Joel put 2 and 2 together.
This is such a harrowing scene brilliantly acted by all involved, but especially Bella the fear and panic she conveyed because Ellie knew exactly what David's intentions were proved how good of an actress she is to get the emotional distress of a difficult scene
The show made David even more creepy! The game was kind of implicit to the depths of his depravity and just hinted at it. But this was so explicit with his creepy choice of last words and the way he was using his free hand to umm…. Ugh shivers. Man he is lucky Ellie was the one who killed him, if Joel was there David would be begging him to finish him off.
He's broken hearted at seeing her like that and knowing without knowing what must have happened. "It's okay. I'm not him." His baby girl in a way is gone. She'll never be the same
How could you think so? Just look at this lines in the show, like “tiny little pieces”, delivered so dull like he’s unsure of himself, just like non-actors like us would deliver the line
@@myboymassacred it added depth to his character with the "you don't know how good I am!" And whatnot. Also, in the game, it felt very rushed and there wasn't much lines, and you had to make assumptions about his intent. In the show, he made it very clear what he was doing, and the line"the fighting is what I like the most" was chilling.
@@lepperkin I don’t remember if the exact line “you don’t know how good I am” was in the game but that was definitely portrayed in other words and his actions. I think he has as about as much lines in the game if not more… people were complaining his relationship with Ellie felt rushed compared to the game because they instantly went from meeting, to hostility, to the prison and then to her killing him. They just added some Christian bullshit around that (which maybe sounds impressive if you’re not familiar with it but trust me it gets boring if you are) and that weird thing about cordyceps love again the HBO guy Craig Mazin made up and doesn’t make sense. “The fighting is what I like the most” removed any subtlety from his character and made him a cheesy rapist. In the game they’re saying about David he has a new pet, so you dont have to make any broad assumptions there
I honestly like the show version better after thinking on it. I think too many people like the idea of Joel being a saviour and a hero which is not what he is. I like that he didn't find her until after. She had to get herself to safety, joel was not there to save her. She had to get all of her rage and fear out when hitting david and decide when to stop. She had to sit there with that mutilated body and decide to leave she had moved fully into shock and dissociation by the time Joel found her instead of still being in rage mode. This version builds on Ellie's fear of being alone and Joel's fear of failing her. The way they look at each other as Joel give her his coat, they don't even blink they are staring at each other so hard. They need each other so much. I find the game plays into Joel being a hero instead of ellie saving herself, it comes off more one sided to Joel. The show high lights both of them in this moment.
I think ellie killing him is just mercy, i Wanted Joel to find David because Joel would just make him suffer, but yeah i like ellie saving herself proving that she can survive in that world
@@ianlebersztein3711 it's not mercy at all. He got whacked to death by a cleaver, by the person he thought he had power over and was going to make his "child bride". Joel didn't kill David in the game either, he just interrupted ellie mid kill.
@@SohiHien i know that Joel is always late, but for me being killed in that way is just too Quick, i wanted him to suffer and beg for mercy while he is killed in slow motion
You really read that scene wrong in the game if you think Joel was supposed to be the hero. It’s just them finding each other in an intense situation, which for me is better executed than just the sad version in the show
Rewatched this scene so many times. Impeccable performances by both actors. Bella's cries pierce through you and make you cry. Scott plays the psychopathic antagonist so convincingly it's revolting. Amazing
i remember telling my dad that i got sexually assaulted at the first day of my highschool life and god i couldnt imagine how he felt. he reminds me a lot of joel, he wasnt there to protect me at times when i needed him. this scene made me feel like that moment again
Idc what anyone says in 2013 this hit like a freight-train on the PS3, and now we have it on hbo and it still gives you a heavy heart when Ellie gets comforted
Hands down this show is just groundbreaking emotionally amazing because it not only tells the story of how humanity is overrun by monsters but there are far worse things than the monsters😢🎉
The walking dead already did that though and so did the game this series was based on which is now like 10 years old so what's the ground breaking part exactly?
I think the shows version of this scene hits harder than in the game. Yes, in the game, Ellie kills David, but Joel swoops in so quickly that it almost feels like Joel would have saved Ellie if she couldn’t grab the machete. In the show, the doors are locked, and David has the only Keyes. If Ellie was going to live, she had to save herself. Since they’ve been setting it up all season, I’m sure we’ll get the giraffe scene in the finale. That was such an emotionally heartwarming scene, a moment of lightness before the hospital. The trauma that Ellie went through on the show will make that scene hit harder. We saw her broken, and now we will be able to see some of Ellie’s lighter side.
I would agree but it's kind of a moot point. Sure, in this version Ellie definitely had to save herself but how much does that add to the narrative when we know in both she didn't need to be saved. Joel pulling her off of David makes for a more personal moment between the two and builds their chemistry in a way that the show hasn't so far.
@@thecourier7964 I don't agree with that at all. Them finding each other after ellie escapes on her own is so much more tragic. Joel feels like he has failed her and ellie has moments where she truly feels alone after she comes down from her rage (something she doesn't do in the game until Joel is there) She is so much more traumatized in the show and Joel is terrified for her because he has no idea what has happened since he doesn't see what she does to David. Also in the show Ellie reaches out to Joel first for comfort which is huge for her, she has wanted comfort from him for awhile but is scared she will be pushed away but here Joel reciprocates right away calling her what he called his daughter and giving her full comfort for the first time. It's such a beautiful moment, really showing how much they need each other. I feel the game is a bit more one sided in providing only Joel and his need to protect and be a father and not as much for ellie like the show does.
@maaathel Well depends on which fans. Part 2 was controversial which split up the fans in people who like the original and people who like Neil Druckmann’s work, who also worked on the series. The fans of Part 2 are more likely to like his work and thus his changes to the show. They mostly gather on Reddit, while more casual people and some popular youtubers disliked his Part 2 (though he was the co-creator of Part 1) and also his changes to the series that caused weird plot holes and less emotional impact (like me).
@@SohiHien No reason to assume the game version is one-sided, Ellie embraces Joel just as much as he does her in the game. I found the shot of her stabbing David with the flames in the background was too long and made the scene a bit cheesy and not subtle, liked the intense moment where Joel comes in better.
@@myboymassacred lol it's not cheesy. why would you ever describe that as cheesy? That is raw emotion, raw fear. You would keep going long after the person was dead in a situation like that. The fact that Joel stopped her in the game meant he was in the building and would have saved her if she didn't grab the machete. In the show, Joel is not there and if Ellie hadn't saved herself then she would have been sexually assaulted and who knows what else. There was no Joel to save her, it makes the entire thing more scary and builds in her fear of being alone and Joel's fear of failure.
As a diehard fan of the game, I was hard on the decision of Bella Ramsey as Ellie when I learned she was casted. That being said, I think she is seriously the best part of the show. Yeah, Pedro as Joel is cool, but I connected with Joel more in the game i think. Probably cause you literally play as him for 80% of it. But the show version of Ellie? Wow.
I still have a hard time getting used to Bella because she doesn’t look like Ellie. I mean, Joel looks like Joel. She has been acting well though, just like the game. Not saying I don’t like her.
Honestly I know ppl gonna kill me for saying this but I think Pedro has been kinda underacting. He's great when it's one of the more dramatic scenes involving Joel but whenever it's idle Joel and he's gotta be tough and stoic he just kinda comes off as bored and disinterested. I don't think he nailed the nuance there correctly, but like I said when there's really important shit going down Pedro manages to hit the home run. I just only wish he could be better in some of the other less important scenes too though. I feel bad for saying this cause he's really good in this episode but definitely in some of the earlier on episodes you can tell he's still trying to get oriented in the role and it could be better.
@@axlr1029 Pedro's an amazing actor but after finishing the series. I agree, its like he tried his best but didn't come off as good as the actual Joel but its hard to replicate from the videogames. I still think he did a goodjob and the show was great overall, excited for season 2
@@adanj.861 Yeah exactly. It's not a dig on Pedro, just acknowledging that the performance is unfortunately not as good as it could have been. But he's still good and the show still works like you said, and I'm also excited for season 2
@@gabrielsanchez6318 that's just not true. Pedro looks about as much as Joel as bella looks to ellie. Yall are just so fucking creepy about ellie being "attractive" like shes 14.
Bella's something else. This scene was perfectly done, the rage, the fear. Somehow it made me feel like I was getting revenge too. Like I was tearing David apart with her, she just transported me to the scene in a way few actors have. When the episode ended I just sat in silence for some minutes, trying to process everything, it was a bit traumatizing to be honest (in a tiny way of course, but still)She deserves every award possible. Simply brilliant. And at such a young age! I'm thrilled to see what else she will become
Honestly the fact that joel did not stopped her in the series like the game is a actually a nice detail. Proves Ellie could self control at some point while in the game it could be interpreted she waa going to stay there until she got tired or something. And also being in shock for what she did and for what happened makes it even better.
The soundtrack was WAY better in the game, the guitar was like magic. (The Last of Us - All Gone (Reunion) But this scene nailed the acting pretty well!
@@RadJack14true i think David is better in the show then he is in the game but the reunification of joell and Ellie as the music takes over the sound in the game will still span the crown of best tlou moment
@@drasticturnip358 that is the entire point lol. That is what happens when people get to that level of fearing for their life, they have to make sure, they have to get all the fear and anger out.
@@SohiHien lmao, such an idiot. The game was better. A repetitive scene is still one that’s repetitive. Remember Joel destroying everyone to find her, and that why he gets there so quickly, and they have that moment just as Ellie kills him, that was far better. This is just trying to be emotional for the sake of it. Not a single ounce of subtlety.
Damn that actress was amazing. I knew exactly how the scene played out from the game, but her screams gave me chills, and the way she was mumbling in Joel's embrace broke my heart.
I've always been a massive fan of the game, and couldn't wait to finally see the series. My wife got the blu-ray for me as a Christmas present, we watched it in less than a week despite not having much time because of our baby. Even if she has only see me play the game, she noticed how accurate every single detail was... Bella is absolutely astonishing in her portrayal of Ellie, and this scene is not an exception. The outburst of fearful rage and anger she put in every hit upon David is so sincere... I think I've never seen such good acting from so many actors, ever...
That last part where Joel and Ellie reunite after such a horrific event consistently breaks my heart more than anything I've ever watched. It's such an overwhelming feeling. Props to everyone involved, this was so well done.
I really like how in the episode after this is hows the effects of Ellie's trauma. It also shows how Joel grew to love Ellie and starts to see her more of a daughter by talking about his past and wanting to teach her and do with her some of the stuff he did with Sara
I love how Troy Baker is in this episode. You can clearly hear Joel’s voice when he speaks. There is another episode where Ashley Johnson plays as Ellie’s mother. And you also can clearly hear Ellie’s voice when she speaks lmao.
The only thing I miss in this scene is Joel cupping Ellies face after she kills David, and he's talking to her, but we don't know what he's saying because the vocals are cut out and the music is the only thing you hear. You can tell he's comforting Ellie while her face is all screwed up in tears and emotion. Other than that little detail this scene was amazing. It took me about 3 episodes to really get used to Bella Ramsay playing Ellie, but by the end of the show I was 100% convinced they couldn't have found a better actress. She did such an amazing job.
This is when her performance went next level, I've played the game multiple times, but wanted to cover my face when that fucking creep was attacking her. At first I hated that they didn't include Joel holding her and saying it's okay 'baby girl', but when he finds her afterwards it still worked so beautifully. Her screams and terror are so sad and scary though. It really showed she was still a child in a brutal world,
Okay for real Bella kills it as Ellie plays her so well and Pedro as Joel both are were made for these roles in the game you can see the father and daughter relationship develop but here for live action feels more emotional well done HBO well done.
I think they made it way more horrfying in the show then the game. They make David more disturbing, based on all the people around him who worship and follow him. I actually found the iconic "Oh baby girl" scene mroe hard hitting. I think it was sloghtly more emotive in the game. But I loved Bella interpretation in the show. The way she could barely talk, and just collapsed into Joel. Was genuinely disturbing and heatbreaking. Way Joel reassured her, was almost more depth then Joel in the game. JMO.
This is the ONLY episode I have ever seen. I was cheering loudly when she went into attack mode. she took a beating, but she never quit. She got them both and she made it count. GOOD ON HER!
This scene both in game and in the series killed me. Whenever I watch it I cant help but sob Bella ramsey did a incredible job portraying Ellie in the series
This was a growing part for Ellie. Joel wasn’t there to save her this time. She had to go through this all alone without even knowing if Joel had succumbed to his injuries or not
Dang! I just counted and she chopped him 22 times. She was phenomenal in this scene. Although it ain't like it was in the game, this was still intense.
Man this scene was just incredible and Ellie is so amazing! The emotions she went through just in this 4 minute sequence is mind boggling. Fear as she laid on the table contemplating her fate, Rage as she bludgeons David to death and vulnerability as she recognizes it's Joel trying to console her. Just amazing acting on Bella's part!!!
that part when ellie cries as she hears" fighting is the best part of it" its just... It always hits me cause that fear,anger and hope to survive is juts...perfectly portraited...
They somehow made this scene both hit harder, and more gruesome than it was in the game. 1.The big difference of instead of trying to choke out Ellie, David gets ontop of her. 2.Ellie's screaming and yelling as she hacks the absolute hell out of David is just so damn spine chilling, and it feels like she hacks him longer than she did in the game. And 3, the fact that Joel only finds her outside instead of while she was killing David, meaning unless Ellie told him what happened inbetween episodes, Joel doesnt even know what happened in there and what David almost did.
Great episode this: Provokes all emotions this scene. Anger, Despair, Relief, Love. Have to say it provoked emotion in me & I believe, all of us. The Last Of Us, really is one of the very best shows on TV. ❤️
Considering how heartless Joel was with two of Davids men, and I can only imagine what he would have done to David himself he ever got his hands on him.
I 100% agree that Bella did an amazing job but can we also give props to the actor who played David. I love how he went from a seemingly friendly person to a complete psychopath. If you hate the character (in the good way) you know the actor did an amazing job and this is an incredible example.
It’s amazing how close to the actual game this really is. Even now seeing this scene again, brings back all the emotions from the first time I played this game. Incredible job.

Even though it was treated as a harsh joke, the way Joel says it gives the impression he's being genuine.
If you haven't seen in the game, that's his daughter now.
Yess! Exactly my thoughts. My heart melted when he called her Babygirl just like he used to call Sarah. And yes, when he called her "cargo" that was quite hurting
Do Americans really need to be told everything? The ‘you’re cargo’ line wasn’t even in the game but I guess Hollywood needs to spell everything out for their viewers

Props to Scott Shepherd for delivering such a creepy and terrifying performance
He plays a fantastic creep. He was really hatable in season 3 of True Detective
Must've felt horrible filming this scene
He's lucky
@@Adinda.1407 What?
@@dmaxwell910901 he get to sit on top of Bella Ramsey's body lol
Its funny how David's own hubris was what led to his death. He had Ellie pinned down and the minute he reaches for his fly, he lets Ellie go allowing her to grab the cleaver and kill him. He was so absorbed in his own sadism that he didn't care that the building was burning or that Ellie had access to the cleaver. Real psychopath.
I am still confused whether David was just a cannibal or a cannibal plus child r@pist because initially he didn't want to r@pe Ellie and just chop her into pieces and eat her
So it was confirmed by your comment then, that he was trying to rape her? That was my theory the whole time!!! U know what they say, great minds think alike!
@@prasanjeetnayak8253 I think the whole point of him trying to rape her was to assert his dominance over her. She had resisted him the whole time even going so far to kill James. In his deranged mind, chopping her into pieces wouldn't have been good enough.
Wow you’re right. Always thought that was weird
I didn't even realize he was reaching for his fly, oh my fucking god
This scene cuts a lot deeper when you’re a survivor of assault, or know someone close to you who is. Her rage and fear is so intense and chilling, especially if you’ve been through a similar situation or have witnessed the aftermath of a loved one who went through it.
Definitely. These type of scenes send of triggers to my brain, but I will watch them repeatedly for the satisfaction of the revenge, the karma and the deserved beat down.
"cuts a lot deeper" i see what ya did there
Yeah...
...And as such, there should have been a trigger warning for victims of sexual assault. You never really know how this scene will impact these survivors.
Even though this was an attempted rape, as Ellie managed to kill David before he could go any further, this scene could still potentially trigger painful memories for some victims.
@@SonicGamerGirl2006 I'm not denying triggers, I get triggers. I'm not saying how triggers affect everyone. Leave the room or pause the show if need be. Maybe because I grew up in the 90s where trigger warnings were not really a thing, we need to learn ways to manage on our own because not everything will have warnings. Also, if this scene which was extremely mild and you had to catch what he was saying and understand why he allowed Ellie's hand to get free in the first place...maybe don't watch a show about zombies...
@@SonicGamerGirl2006it’s a show meant for adults, it doesn’t need a warning wtf? It takes away the impact of the scene for everyone who doesn’t want to know something shocking is about to happen this episode
Bella's portrayal of blind rage was absolutely amazing. I can't imagine anyone else playing Ellie. Scott's performance as David is very convincing too. It hard to pull off that kind of despicable, but he knew who he had to be and every one of his lines infuriate me yet terrify me to my bones, mainly because people like him actually exist. No amount of intfected, clickers, or bloaters could scare me as much as him.
every time i see Scott in something he's chilling. great actor
I wish she looked a little bit more like the game's version of ellie but she's still great.
@@bryanribey It’s not the look that sells the character, it’s the portrayal of the character’s personality. I would take quality acting over a look alike actress any day. But that’s just my opinion!
@@Madison.Dances829no your opinion is correct
I don't know about that, the rage and the screaming in this scene for me I found to be really cringe and uncharacteristic of Ellie, I can still seperate and interpret the show as it's own version of The Last of Us instead of comparing it all the time but I think Sadie Sink is a better actress that matches closer to Ellie's personality and looks in the game's version
That extra bit the actor did where he’s trying to undo his trousers was extra disturbing and horrifying. Plus, Bella’s rage screaming when she kills him really packed a punch to her trauma. They both did a fantastic job in these roles.

oh god that first GUTTURAL scream bella does when david first gets on top of her. this episode has truly shaken me up, man
I know some folk will be disappointed that Joel doesn’t stop Ellie and comforts her and if I’m being honest, I did find the reunion in the game to be a bit more emotional. Not to say that it wasn’t in the show mind you.
However, I think what the show does better is demonstrate how horrific this would have been for Ellie. Joel doesn’t arrive to immediately comfort her, she has to process what’s happened by herself for a bit, as do we. With everything that just happened and having to commit such a savage act of violence in order to survive will scar her and it clearly shows that here.
The more I watch this new version of the scene the more I like it. I do wish the music was kept the same but it is what it is. I still loved the episode.
She’ll be ighhh
Or it's just more realistic that he wouldn't have time to comfort her in that way in a building that's about to burn down so they decided to just put it just outside the building?
The devs said they wanted the audience to expect Joel will save the day...but that it MUST be Ellie that saves herself!
I found that extremely cathartic.
@@BlokkstarDe5_ she was not ighhh in the game. She was forever changed after that. This trauma led directly to Part II.
A detail in the change I couldn't help but notice (and why I prefer it over the game, narrative-wise, since it's a crucial moment for Ellie to "harden"): if Joel barged in to immediately comfort Ellie like in the game, the timing indicates he may have actually been able to save her life, if she failed to reach the machete.
On the show, she brutalizes David until she's exhausted or "snaps out" of her rage, and after some indiscernible amount of time, escapes the building - implying she was truly on her own to survive every critical second of the terrifying ordeal (absolutely no way Joel could've saved her).
But it fits, right? In the whole episode we see Ellie not only surviving on her own but be the one who protects Joel. David tried to convince her that she is aggressive and brutal like he is while instead we see that she is in fact brutal, but like Joel, who becomes like a monster when he needs to protect the ones he cares about.
That is a good point, although one could argue that if you don’t reach the machete in time in the game David does kill Ellie. But I guess Ellie dying isn’t technically canon, so maybe not a valid argument? I’m not sure.
And for all Ellie knows, they could’ve found and killed Joel already.
That is such a great point! I didn’t even think about that
If Joel entered the place like he did in game, it implies that Ellie had a way out all along but fail to find it.
I like the perspective of the show, where the locked doors and fire prevented Joel from entering so Ellie absolutely must overcome David to escape.
She plays the ‘not knowing to laugh or cry’ from the massive mix of emotions and shock is absolutely brilliant, when Joel gets her at the end it’s so emotional, bonded for life and it’s acted so so well.
One thing I really like is how right after Joel calls Ellie babygirl, you can prominently see the watch his daughter gave him, and it shows that connection in a way
well spotted!

When Joel finds Ellie in game and she says to him “he tried to….”wouldn’t have made sense to say in the show as Joel wouldn’t have known who “he” was as he found her after the fact. But Bella still attempting to say “he” and not being able to get it out followed by “but I…” was amazing acting. I love that they made this change in the show while still trying to stay true to the game dialogue as it helps Joel put 2 and 2 together.
Bella deserves so many awards for this scene alone. She's been amazing throughout the whole series, but this is another level
I mean, I didn't think anybody could challenge Jenna Ortega for her portrayal of Wednesday, but I think Bella Ramsey outdid her.

How could you think so? Just look at this lines in the show, like “tiny little pieces”, delivered so dull like he’s unsure of himself, just like non-actors like us would deliver the line
@@myboymassacred it added depth to his character with the "you don't know how good I am!" And whatnot. Also, in the game, it felt very rushed and there wasn't much lines, and you had to make assumptions about his intent. In the show, he made it very clear what he was doing, and the line"the fighting is what I like the most" was chilling.
@@lepperkin I don’t remember if the exact line “you don’t know how good I am” was in the game but that was definitely portrayed in other words and his actions. I think he has as about as much lines in the game if not more… people were complaining his relationship with Ellie felt rushed compared to the game because they instantly went from meeting, to hostility, to the prison and then to her killing him. They just added some Christian bullshit around that (which maybe sounds impressive if you’re not familiar with it but trust me it gets boring if you are) and that weird thing about cordyceps love again the HBO guy Craig Mazin made up and doesn’t make sense. “The fighting is what I like the most” removed any subtlety from his character and made him a cheesy rapist. In the game they’re saying about David he has a new pet, so you dont have to make any broad assumptions there
I honestly like the show version better after thinking on it. I think too many people like the idea of Joel being a saviour and a hero which is not what he is. I like that he didn't find her until after. She had to get herself to safety, joel was not there to save her. She had to get all of her rage and fear out when hitting david and decide when to stop. She had to sit there with that mutilated body and decide to leave she had moved fully into shock and dissociation by the time Joel found her instead of still being in rage mode. This version builds on Ellie's fear of being alone and Joel's fear of failing her. The way they look at each other as Joel give her his coat, they don't even blink they are staring at each other so hard. They need each other so much. I find the game plays into Joel being a hero instead of ellie saving herself, it comes off more one sided to Joel. The show high lights both of them in this moment.
I think ellie killing him is just mercy, i Wanted Joel to find David because Joel would just make him suffer, but yeah i like ellie saving herself proving that she can survive in that world
@@ianlebersztein3711 it's not mercy at all. He got whacked to death by a cleaver, by the person he thought he had power over and was going to make his "child bride". Joel didn't kill David in the game either, he just interrupted ellie mid kill.
@@SohiHien i know that Joel is always late, but for me being killed in that way is just too Quick, i wanted him to suffer and beg for mercy while he is killed in slow motion
@@SohiHien i never said that in the game Joel save her, just said that Joel would straight make him suffer and kill him slowly
You really read that scene wrong in the game if you think Joel was supposed to be the hero. It’s just them finding each other in an intense situation, which for me is better executed than just the sad version in the show
Rewatched this scene so many times. Impeccable performances by both actors. Bella's cries pierce through you and make you cry. Scott plays the psychopathic antagonist so convincingly it's revolting. Amazing
“It’s ok baby girl I got you!” That was just wholesome
Damn the acting in the scene was amazing it felt so disturbing
Elle est très bien bella❤❤❤❤
i remember telling my dad that i got sexually assaulted at the first day of my highschool life and god i couldnt imagine how he felt. he reminds me a lot of joel, he wasnt there to protect me at times when i needed him. this scene made me feel like that moment again
Idc what anyone says in 2013 this hit like a freight-train on the PS3, and now we have it on hbo and it still gives you a heavy heart when Ellie gets comforted
When Joel said "baby girl" tears started to fall for some reason.

I really like that the show wasn't afraid to show what some relationships were really like, like showing David as a psychopathic sex offender
Hands down this show is just groundbreaking emotionally amazing because it not only tells the story of how humanity is overrun by monsters but there are far worse things than the monsters😢🎉
The walking dead already did that though and so did the game this series was based on which is now like 10 years old so what's the ground breaking part exactly?
It shows that humanity is the monster.
@@MrSuperawesome5000 TWD did that once every season almost lmao
It's not particularly groundbreaking if the game it's based on already did it 10 years ago.
I wanted to see what Ellie had done to David's face.
Hearing those screams come from Ellie, my heart shattered into pieces....
I think the shows version of this scene hits harder than in the game. Yes, in the game, Ellie kills David, but Joel swoops in so quickly that it almost feels like Joel would have saved Ellie if she couldn’t grab the machete. In the show, the doors are locked, and David has the only Keyes. If Ellie was going to live, she had to save herself.
Since they’ve been setting it up all season, I’m sure we’ll get the giraffe scene in the finale. That was such an emotionally heartwarming scene, a moment of lightness before the hospital. The trauma that Ellie went through on the show will make that scene hit harder. We saw her broken, and now we will be able to see some of Ellie’s lighter side.
I would agree but it's kind of a moot point. Sure, in this version Ellie definitely had to save herself but how much does that add to the narrative when we know in both she didn't need to be saved. Joel pulling her off of David makes for a more personal moment between the two and builds their chemistry in a way that the show hasn't so far.
@@thecourier7964 I don't agree with that at all. Them finding each other after ellie escapes on her own is so much more tragic. Joel feels like he has failed her and ellie has moments where she truly feels alone after she comes down from her rage (something she doesn't do in the game until Joel is there) She is so much more traumatized in the show and Joel is terrified for her because he has no idea what has happened since he doesn't see what she does to David. Also in the show Ellie reaches out to Joel first for comfort which is huge for her, she has wanted comfort from him for awhile but is scared she will be pushed away but here Joel reciprocates right away calling her what he called his daughter and giving her full comfort for the first time. It's such a beautiful moment, really showing how much they need each other. I feel the game is a bit more one sided in providing only Joel and his need to protect and be a father and not as much for ellie like the show does.
@maaathel Well depends on which fans. Part 2 was controversial which split up the fans in people who like the original and people who like Neil Druckmann’s work, who also worked on the series. The fans of Part 2 are more likely to like his work and thus his changes to the show. They mostly gather on Reddit, while more casual people and some popular youtubers disliked his Part 2 (though he was the co-creator of Part 1) and also his changes to the series that caused weird plot holes and less emotional impact (like me).
@@SohiHien No reason to assume the game version is one-sided, Ellie embraces Joel just as much as he does her in the game. I found the shot of her stabbing David with the flames in the background was too long and made the scene a bit cheesy and not subtle, liked the intense moment where Joel comes in better.
@@myboymassacred lol it's not cheesy. why would you ever describe that as cheesy? That is raw emotion, raw fear. You would keep going long after the person was dead in a situation like that. The fact that Joel stopped her in the game meant he was in the building and would have saved her if she didn't grab the machete. In the show, Joel is not there and if Ellie hadn't saved herself then she would have been sexually assaulted and who knows what else. There was no Joel to save her, it makes the entire thing more scary and builds in her fear of being alone and Joel's fear of failure.
This scene low key hit harder than the one in the game

As a diehard fan of the game, I was hard on the decision of Bella Ramsey as Ellie when I learned she was casted. That being said, I think she is seriously the best part of the show. Yeah, Pedro as Joel is cool, but I connected with Joel more in the game i think. Probably cause you literally play as him for 80% of it. But the show version of Ellie? Wow.
I still have a hard time getting used to Bella because she doesn’t look like Ellie. I mean, Joel looks like Joel.
She has been acting well though, just like the game. Not saying I don’t like her.
Honestly I know ppl gonna kill me for saying this but I think Pedro has been kinda underacting. He's great when it's one of the more dramatic scenes involving Joel but whenever it's idle Joel and he's gotta be tough and stoic he just kinda comes off as bored and disinterested. I don't think he nailed the nuance there correctly, but like I said when there's really important shit going down Pedro manages to hit the home run. I just only wish he could be better in some of the other less important scenes too though.
I feel bad for saying this cause he's really good in this episode but definitely in some of the earlier on episodes you can tell he's still trying to get oriented in the role and it could be better.

Honestly the fact that joel did not stopped her in the series like the game is a actually a nice detail. Proves Ellie could self control at some point while in the game it could be interpreted she waa going to stay there until she got tired or something. And also being in shock for what she did and for what happened makes it even better.
This scene made my skin crawl. I swear I went through so many emotions. Such amazing acting, you could really feel it
It’s crazy that in the game the other people you need to kill are scarier than the infected themselves. The same can be said for the show.

this bella player is really good, i usually die at least 3 times with david fight
Damn that actress was amazing. I knew exactly how the scene played out from the game, but her screams gave me chills, and the way she was mumbling in Joel's embrace broke my heart.
The way he said “baby girl” was just the warmth Ellie needed to feel protected.
I've always been a massive fan of the game, and couldn't wait to finally see the series. My wife got the blu-ray for me as a Christmas present, we watched it in less than a week despite not having much time because of our baby. Even if she has only see me play the game, she noticed how accurate every single detail was... Bella is absolutely astonishing in her portrayal of Ellie, and this scene is not an exception. The outburst of fearful rage and anger she put in every hit upon David is so sincere... I think I've never seen such good acting from so many actors, ever...
I wish I could go back in time to when I first watched this show and watch it for the first time again. One of the best TV shows to ever be created.
That last part where Joel and Ellie reunite after such a horrific event consistently breaks my heart more than anything I've ever watched. It's such an overwhelming feeling. Props to everyone involved, this was so well done.
I really like how in the episode after this is hows the effects of Ellie's trauma. It also shows how Joel grew to love Ellie and starts to see her more of a daughter by talking about his past and wanting to teach her and do with her some of the stuff he did with Sara
I love how Troy Baker is in this episode. You can clearly hear Joel’s voice when he speaks. There is another episode where Ashley Johnson plays as Ellie’s mother. And you also can clearly hear Ellie’s voice when she speaks lmao.
The fact that he was at first going to kill her but when he got frustrated he tried to do something worse. What a creep
The only thing I miss in this scene is Joel cupping Ellies face after she kills David, and he's talking to her, but we don't know what he's saying because the vocals are cut out and the music is the only thing you hear. You can tell he's comforting Ellie while her face is all screwed up in tears and emotion. Other than that little detail this scene was amazing. It took me about 3 episodes to really get used to Bella Ramsay playing Ellie, but by the end of the show I was 100% convinced they couldn't have found a better actress. She did such an amazing job.
The fire burning in the background...her screams of terror, fear and anger all mixed together...good god this was so well acted.
In no way did I expect Ellie to chop him up three times longer than she did in the game.
This is when her performance went next level, I've played the game multiple times, but wanted to cover my face when that fucking creep was attacking her. At first I hated that they didn't include Joel holding her and saying it's okay 'baby girl', but when he finds her afterwards it still worked so beautifully. Her screams and terror are so sad and scary though. It really showed she was still a child in a brutal world,
A game people turned into fungal monsters and the creepiest scene by far is still that of a kind of monster who sadly exist in real life
David here looks more like maniac than the games
These two, are giving us the performances of their lives!!!!
Nooo.. Ellie just killed Joel 😭😭😭
Edit: just incase if there's misunderstanding...the guy that get butcher knife to the neck is Joel's VA in game..
Okay for real Bella kills it as Ellie plays her so well and Pedro as Joel both are were made for these roles in the game you can see the father and daughter relationship develop but here for live action feels more emotional well done HBO well done.
One of the most horrifying lines I’ve ever heard in this game was David saying “Hello Ellie.”
that scream tho omg. give her all the awards
The worst part is when you realize that she only got the chance to strike him because he needed one hand to undo his belt.
I think they made it way more horrfying in the show then the game. They make David more disturbing, based on all the people around him who worship and follow him. I actually found the iconic "Oh baby girl" scene mroe hard hitting. I think it was sloghtly more emotive in the game. But I loved Bella interpretation in the show. The way she could barely talk, and just collapsed into Joel. Was genuinely disturbing and heatbreaking. Way Joel reassured her, was almost more depth then Joel in the game. JMO.
Chefs kiss to all of this. too much typing on how well made this show is and you can really tell how much love was put in this
This is the ONLY episode I have ever seen. I was cheering loudly when she went into attack mode. she took a beating, but she never quit. She got them both and she made it count. GOOD ON HER!
This scene both in game and in the series killed me. Whenever I watch it I cant help but sob
Bella ramsey did a incredible job portraying Ellie in the series
The change here from game is clearly a good call. Aww they killed Baker lol oh well i know that he enjoyed it.
This was a growing part for Ellie. Joel wasn’t there to save her this time. She had to go through this all alone without even knowing if Joel had succumbed to his injuries or not
Dang! I just counted and she chopped him 22 times. She was phenomenal in this scene. Although it ain't like it was in the game, this was still intense.
Man this scene was just incredible and Ellie is so amazing! The emotions she went through just in this 4 minute sequence is mind boggling. Fear as she laid on the table contemplating her fate, Rage as she bludgeons David to death and vulnerability as she recognizes it's Joel trying to console her. Just amazing acting on Bella's part!!!
that part when ellie cries as she hears" fighting is the best part of it" its just... It always hits me cause that fear,anger and hope to survive is juts...perfectly portraited...
They somehow made this scene both hit harder, and more gruesome than it was in the game.
1.The big difference of instead of trying to choke out Ellie, David gets ontop of her.
2.Ellie's screaming and yelling as she hacks the absolute hell out of David is just so damn spine chilling, and it feels like she hacks him longer than she did in the game.
And 3, the fact that Joel only finds her outside instead of while she was killing David, meaning unless Ellie told him what happened inbetween episodes, Joel doesnt even know what happened in there and what David almost did.
Great episode this: Provokes all emotions this scene. Anger, Despair, Relief, Love. Have to say it provoked emotion in me & I believe, all of us. The Last Of Us, really is one of the very best shows on TV. ❤️
Considering how heartless Joel was with two of Davids men, and I can only imagine what he would have done to David himself he ever got his hands on him.
I’ve just met Scott Shepherd (the actor of David) in the bus, here in Berlin 😂 He is nice in real life 😂
Is his appearance different from close?
@@billykordas958 yes of course 😂 He was funny ! He actually said : Of course you can take a selfi with me ! I don't bite 😂
It's okay, baby girl. I got you.
OMG THE CUTENESS OF THIS MAN.
I have never witnessed another young actor this powerful. -C
The second he says “It’s okay Baby Girl.” I break. Full on ugly crying. Every. Single. Time.
I 100% agree that Bella did an amazing job but can we also give props to the actor who played David. I love how he went from a seemingly friendly person to a complete psychopath. If you hate the character (in the good way) you know the actor did an amazing job and this is an incredible example.

If you, as an audience member, didnt know that was Joels game actor, that long shot that focuses on him probably seems random as hell😂
It’s amazing how close to the actual game this really is. Even now seeing this scene again, brings back all the emotions from the first time I played this game. Incredible job.
Her screams always makes me wanna cry😿 poor ellie she didn’t deserve this
