#thelastofus #reaction #hbomax - Розваги
I love how half the couch is horrified at the arrival of the Bloater and the other half is living their best life.
I definetly lived my best life when he showed up
I loved the bloater scene. I also loved that he was done practically. It just made it significantly better.
Well said!
So true!!!! I was so happy to see one for the first time as I hated them in the game lol
now imagine like in the game when you have 2 or 3 bloaters at the same time
what really got me was ellie’s whimper seeing henry end himself it was such a realistic reaction. i love bella ramsey
I listened to that multiple times in the official podcast. Such great acting.
Exactly! It’s brutal
Omg yes
It was perfect
Reminds me of when Anya Taylor Joy had to stab that lady in The Menu and had a very realistic reaction afterwards 😅
Just so you know the actor that plays Sam is actually deaf in real life and many of the people who were on set with the cast had to learn it however many of them really wanted to learn it, specially Bella (the actress of Ellie)
Really?
That is the most wholesome thing I learned about today
Another comment I read said “the entire cast and crew learned sign language”. What you said is certainly more believable
22:54 Some people have been complaining about the lack of Infected in the show, but I think since we're not seeing Infected all the time, it makes these moments where we do see them way more impactful
i agree
I agree completely. If there were infected everywhere all the time it would be more action, sure, but less impactful.
Yes, it's based on a game but you can't just film it like the game.
@@cuzidodgebullets6797 Anyone complaining didn't play the game. There are vast sections of the game with no infected.
@@robertcampbell8070 ESPECIALLY in the last of us 2…most of it is you wandering around lmao
I think I do agree with that complaint a bit. It makes it seem like they aren’t as big as a problem as the felt in the game in my opinion.
Actually I'm pretty sure FEDRA WAS monitoring the underground and keeping it maintained. Remember, Henry's FEDRA contact said that they had cleared a tunnel a few years ago. But once they were gone, Kathleen stopped paying attention to the tunnels completely because she was so obsessed with revenge, even going so far as to clearly see them trying to emerge from underground and ignoring it. All that coupled with all of the noise from the revolution after party probably got them all riled up underground.
great calling for the party part!
FEDRA probably waring with the resistance and both parties neglected the infected.
My tears pretty much started the moment Henry handed Sam the crayons cuz Sam was so freaking adorable. Lamar Johnson (Henry) and Keivonn Woodard (Sam) were just amazing, so heartbreaking.
I experienced the same, they played them so well and authentic, it feels real. The music at that scene pushed me over the edge, using the same score as the game is masterful
Glad I wasn't the only one 😓
Yeah, knowing what happens from the game, i was tearing up at the beginning of the episode
That and whenever Sam would laugh and both of them could be "normal kids" for once 😩😭
My tears started when Sam asked Ellie if she's ever scared 🥺
23:55 I’ve never seen this group get so much more excited and chaotic than this moment right here. The reactions of the ones who played the game and KNEW vs the ones who didn’t was so exhilarating and perfect.
I was smiling the whole time when watching that part of the episode 😂
theyre over reacting for the camera lol
@@Stgangle You apparently never had a hype moment with friends lmao this shits standard when your with basically family
@@FarikoWishless So true. Someone's social life ain't as grand as others and is projecting it lol
@@leeroyjenkins323 My circle is spread over north america and we even in voice calls have these moments shit when im with my best friend who I call brothers after 16 years of knowing each other we have these moments lol. I don't know why this guy doesn't know some people are just naturally more animated than some and then you add multiple? This is just what it looks like XD
Ellies "I'm sorry" feels like it represents her fully committing herself to discovering the cure. How the kids have to grow up so quickly in such an environment
Yeah but ellie try to save Sam blood is medicine but it's too late
@@rockerojerez349 "too late" is a wrong word here "doesn't work" is more accurate answer
@@kratosgow342well, shit 🫤
But I'm worried about The last of us season 2 😞
Omg I'm so glad someone noticed Joel's pissy look when she takes her gun out of her pocket instead of her backpack, every other reaction I've watched has missed it, it's tiny but such a satisfying call back
I saw that too, his look. Excuse me I told you to put it your pack. Hahah made me laugh his look to her.
time stamp?
@@Joshua-tn4gm 13:27
The sound Bella made when Henry sh0t himself was chilling. Felt like a very genuine reaction, brilliant acting
Having gymnasts and dancers using their flexibility portraying zombies and similar demons is a great idea. That child clicker twisting in the car was fantastic ! I hope she had fun filming it.
At 33:41 it's actually: Runners - Stalkers - Clickers - Bloaters. (Not counting the second game transformations) Ironically the sewer section in this episode in the game is where you deal with stalkers.
Glad someone said it
Yes I just wrote that without noticing someone mentioned it. The infected person Ellie stabbed was a stalker
There's something unsettling in realizing that Sam was just sitting there because he's deaf. An infected listens for their prey. Even if he ever went to go full on clicker he couldn't. Ellie broke her promise and fell asleep, so he was just sitting there. Waiting, screaming from the inside. As his brain was slowly eaten away. And until someone touched him, or came in his view, he would sit there forever.
And when Ellie touched him, Sam saw his own body attack her. Instead of becoming the superhero he always wanted to be. He became a monster, crying for his brother to help. He didn't even hear the shot. Just his vision slowly fading to black. He spent all night trying not to fall asleep. Then suddenly his eyes were slowly closing, afraid of what would happen once he woke up, but he never did.
Bill and Frank's story was sad, in a stoic kind of way, but just like Bill said at the end, it wasn't tragic. They'd lived a full life. Here Sam and Henry had hope, a chance, and a whole life ahead of them. Henry was so good that he protected Ellie before even realizing what he was doing. It was instinctual. That comes from deep inside.
But a little like Kathleen said, this kind of goodness, makes it hard to live in such a tragic world.
@@vanillyswirl I _AM_ the person from reddit who posted it there xD
@@Saphthings
That happened to me once where someone accused me of copying from Reddit and I was like “I am that dude from Reddit” 😂
Then they proceeded to act like they were the original commenter and that was just embarrassing 🤣
@@Ren_Davis0531 please show us the screenshots i need to see that
@@Saphthings talk your shit king
@@Ren_Davis0531 It's funny cuz someone on my reddit post said, "there's a dude copying this post there" xD
But to their defense I watched a few reactions and went to post my comment and noticed someone already did lol..
I've never seen something I wrote come full circle to me like that xD
24:35 The contrast between the game fans excited to see the death animation and the newbies who are horrified by what they just saw is great lmao
This show keeps doing what I genuinely thought was impossible. They’re taking entire chapters of the game and somehow condensing them into hour long episodes and they DON’T FEEL RUSHED! We got the backstory of Henry and Sam, and Sam being deaf was an idea Craig Mazin had that Neil Druckman loved so much that he said that it made him angry (in a good way) he didn’t originally put it in the game. We also saw the tunnel community which is one of my favorite levels in gaming history because it tells an entire story just from looking at your surroundings, plus it was great to see Ellie and Sam just be kids and forget the troubles of the world. And then the scene when Ellie tries to heal Sam was so heartwarming which made the ending even MORE heartbreaking than even in the game. And finally we got to see not just a horde of infected but our first *BLOATER* and it was even more terrifying than the game.
This episode was absolutely a 10/10
Im wondering if they will be able to keep up the not rushed feeling. This game chapter was 2 episodes and they still have the dlc flashback as well. We shall see, they might just take off a less important chapter part.
@@layedbackthomas I think they will skip the university of eastern Colorado altogether
@@g00dGuY34 Same thing I was thinking haha. Guess they will change what gets us into that solo part if they have that at all.
it does not feel rushed because the game directors are behind this show to not some random director not knowing anything about the show handed a "game" idea. thats why i feel like that's why its soo good
@@Jacksonkillz i really like how HBO & teams are paying so much respect for the team behind the game and not only having neil involved with the show, they also have troy baker hosting an episodes podcast..... it's rare thing to happen when it comes to video games adaptation
Note that Henry and Sam are using Black American Sign Language (BASL). The show creators wanted to make sure they were accurate.
It was a gamble looking for a deaf black child actor; think about how limited a pool that's going to be (right age, right race, deaf), but they knocked it out of the park with Keivonn Woodard.
That's cool man.
Is there a difference between black sign language and others sign language? 👀
@@Lightsephiroth Yes. ASL and BASL are distinct, because of segregation and separation of black/white schools.
This is America.
Maybe that is why they aged down the character so much.
Thank you! that’s probably why some ppl don’t believe 100% is an actual sign in BASL
30:28 Perfect line up of Ellie's vocal with Rana's expression there...
I am hearing and my grandparents are deaf. I grew up in a bilingual household with ASL and English. It always blew my mind when hearing people would realize they were talking with a D/HH person and would suddenly become awkward and quickly give up trying to communicate with them. I try to encourage those people, “Just try! You don’t have to know ASL! You can mime! You can write! Forget about embarrassing yourself! What matters is you treat them like a person!” So, I very much loved the inclusion of Ellie having this friendship with Sam as a Deaf person. Because Ellie truly loved learning to communicate with Sam and getting to know him. It showed their bond and understanding of each other. ❤
I feel like Sam purseposely was turned away from Ellie, so that he wouoldn't attack her when he does turn because he wouldn't see or hear her.
"No matter who's on top, somebody's on the bottom" is the greatest thing Suraj has ever done 🤣🤣
I was surprised to see a lot of reactors instantly angry at Henry for turning the gun on Joel. Obviously it wasn't something he should have done; it wasn't Joel or Ellie's faut. But imagine being peacefully asleep one moment (probably your first peaceful sleep among people you trust in a while), then you only have a second to react to losing your brother as the knowledge sinks in that you'll have to kill him. Of course Henry's instinct would be to protect Sam one last time. It's that split-second urgency that makes the scene more brutal than if Henry had known the night before.
Lamar Johnson had such expressive eyes this episode. You could see the realization dawning on him as he was watching Sam attack Ellie. Then the mixture of shock, grief, and denial when he was asking, "What did I do?" Such gut-wrenching stuff. This show is bleak as hell but damn does it and the game do bleak so freaking well.
sure but they had nothing to do with it and its not like they are the ones who shot him
@@Greenhawk4that’s the point they made in their comment. He’s in shock.
Omg everybody *LOSING IT* and Mickey just “It’s soooo good 🤩” loool love you guys!
Nah, mickey acts too sassy. Really annoying
@@FlockOfYahwehyeah fr all he says is “its so good” irritating as hell
@@Arctis326 I feel like he occupies the spot of the person who has played the game a couple of times so he is happy to see how good the show is turning out. And he can't say much more to avoid spoiling.
I knew how it ended with Henry and Sam and thought I was holding it together pretty well - the change of Ellie trying to heal Sam fucking broke me. Chris' reaction this entire episode is so relatable.
It makes SUCH a difference in terms of fear and terror when the zombies are actually running full speed at you instead of slowly limping.
I loved how the women instinctually pulled their feet up like you do when you’re surprised by vermin! LoL you guys are great!!!
When Kathleen said “Kids die all the time” and she gets killed by an infected kid is pure poetry.
Love seeing Chris watch a show he knows nothing about. Showing his genuine reactions and stress. That "f*** this shit" was perfect
Great reaction everyone!
The way I see it, Cathleen's brother was probably a lot like Marlene, doing stuff, leading the resistance, bet never getting major breakthroughs. But when he was killed, his death and Kathleen's reaction were the catalysts that drove everyone over the edge and they finally overtook the city.
The added background to Henry’s character was fantastic, because it just shows how much he and Joel are paralleled. Aaahhh this show is so good.
43:00 She's the first one I've seen to bring this up (on a reaction)! It's one of those little touches that instantly got me - basically the world is turned off for him until she touches his shoulder!
I love how when the bloater came out, the right side was in horror, and the left was so excited to see it lol
Important part of the episode for me is when Kathleen talks about kids dying. She says, "They die all the time. You think the whole world revolves around him? That he's worth everything?" It's such crazy foreshadowing, and it really emphasizes that TLOU is about the choices we make to protect those we love, whether good or bad.
I have been thristing,, quenching to see everyone's reaction to this episode. ITS WILD
yes very much so yes yes yes
very exactly 100% yes yes yes yes yes
So true very very very true, indeed exact correct information!
So very correct! So very very very good life changing information
Ellie cutting her hand to introduce her blood into Sam's wound was an earnest act of love. She wanted to be the person to save her friend, Sam-she believed that she could. She's 14. Unless she was into the sciences and that curiosity was fed, she wouldn't know the first thing about how immunity works. It's one of the sweetest and saddest thing to watch. Sadder still is that she didn't tell Henry. Henry and Sam could have had some time together in the end. Had Henry known, he would have had time, however fleeting, to prepare himself and maybe, just maybe, not kill himself. Ellie did her best to stay up with Sam, but I bet Henry and Joel would've been wide awake all through the night. And if Henry couldn't do what needed to be done, Joel would have stepped in. I suppose that's one alternative ending which would definitely stray from the game. I'm sure Mazin and Druckmann explored that and decided that if Henry survived, that change would be a seismic deviation from the game. Phenomal work by Lamar Johnson and Keivonn Woodard as Henry and Sam!
Rana’s pained face whenever Ellie and Henry were being adorable together, bless. Also so seems Chris is quite a pragmatist, eh? =grabs popcorn=. Someone give poor Marketa a hug!
It's easy to be pragmatic in theory. I doubt he would actually think like that if faced with the same decision.
Ellie and Sam*
That “I’m Sorry” was a stroke of genius. That just sent the episode thru the roof. Phenomenal job.
I love that they're really impressing on the audience that from Ellie's POV she truly wants her immunity to mean something, and is determined to play her part in doing so. Makes what [redacted] does later even more morally grey.
Kathleen: I'm going to get the manager!
The Manager: 24:04
To me I loved the actress who played Kathleen!! I think she feels like an actual person who could turn into a villain.
The way I sobbed during this episode. Absolutely loved your reaction. This is the perfect group of Normies.
The thing I liked about Sam in the game is that he is at the like crossroads of still being a kid and moving into being a young adult. Dealing with all those feelings while being in a world like this can be interesting.
Never seen Chris so visibly upset before when Henry killed himself.😢
These episodes just love tugging my heart strings😢
it's literally hurting me lol
Their reaction to the bloater is the "people who know ; people who don't know" meme XD
"No making monster-noises in this apocalypse."
Best comment in the reaction. 🙂
Marketa's comment about what happened after WWII is in keeping with Frantz Fanon's analysis of the psychological consequences of protracted oppression in his seminal work, "The Wretched of the Earth."
It, basically, makes both oppressors and the oppressed insane, for awhile, and the surreal violence at the time of victory constitutes an emotional catharsis.
That's why this series is good - it shows the world is tough. Michael was merciful and that got him killed (not fair), and that triggered Kathleen who lost everything in a day, and the resistance didn't even last two weeks because of her ruthlessness. Henry gave Michael up to save his brother, and in the end that was worthless. Brutal.
33:40 Idk if Micky intentionally left out a stage of infection (between Runners and Clickers) or if he simply forgot about it lol
This show is becoming one of my favorite shows of all time, it’s understandable because the game is one of my favorite games of all time. I love PlayStation and HBO they’ve earned my money and respect
The guy who got his head ripped off by the Bloater is the voice actor for Joel's brother in the game.
I know it was a light moment but it's a good rule of thumb: If you're planning on overthrowing a leader/government with your own, make sure it's not worse than the one you're ousting.
“I went straight to the manager “ PERFECT SPIDEY 😂
Imagine your younger sibling being your first OFFICIAL kill!!💔Ps: who else noticed after Kathleen was talking trash about kids she ended up getting killed by one!🤣
Ellie showing how she really listen to what Joel say. She saw the crack to fit through and help him cover her... just like he said to her in the last episode. I love their connection. Also, "fuel to fire" playing for the funeral of Henry and Sam... I'm so anxious for the whole story hahaha
Bella is absolutely killing this role
17:58 YES! THANK YOU! I love all the scenes in urban/suburban environments in this show. I always hated how much of TWD takes place in the middle of nowhere
I have never played the game and I am enjoying this show so much. The last scene with Henry and Sam. Crushed my heart. The actors are so god damn good in this series.
Not me rewinding to get everyone’s reaction at every major part this episode💀
You forgot one stage of infection actually:
1st stage - Runners
2nd Stage - Stalkers
3rd Stage - Clickers
4th Stage - Bloaters
I'm wondering if they are not going to reference stalkers in the show. I watched the podcast for this episode and the creator also skipped stalkers when explaining the stages
The amount of Nerdgasms in this reaction makes it’s worth the wait😂
Best episode so far!
Makes me want to play the games again which I will 😂
Been waiting on this one
The thing about Ellie is afraid of being alone ... I mean she's immune to the infection so supposed everyone got infected then she'll be alone.
Chris's reaction to the bloater is an all-time highlight of this channel.
No it’s not
@@RK-cq9ci well. Can't argue with that logic. 😂
Great reaction as always, Normies!
As someone who played and loved both Parts I and II of the game, it was awesome watching Spidey, Suraj and Mickey fanboying over the horde scene (especially when the Big Boy showed up!). Rana still reacting like it was a blind reaction was cool, too (shouting for some Ellie shiv action)! Even Chris and Marketa were just pulling back in their seats! This was a really intense episode.
Kudos to Druckmann/Mazin, the showrunners, crew...and all like 75 - 80 of these talented extras who spent time at Clicker school (four months!) because this was one of the freakiest horde reveals ever. This show is just hitting all the sweet spots!
Then to end the episode with Henry and Sam!
Wow, just excellent performances all around. This show better get some freaking awards (this and "Andor")!
8:41 I laughed so hard at this part Lmaoo
Ellie definitely thought she could cure Sam with her blood, cause why wouldn’t she tell Joel? Why would she fall asleep then try and wake/ touch him when she woke up? I think this episode is her losing her innocence and becoming Joel and Joel is becoming more compassionate.
It hurts that Ellie didn't tell Henry so he spend his last moments with his brother.
I think I've been anticipating this more than the reaction to the Gravity Falls finale.
That show has been on that long?
When I saw the actors for Sam and Henry I knew this was going to WRECK me. Henry looks so young and soft hearted. In an another world he would’ve been a regular 20 year old who’s a big brother and Henry, they de-aged him a bit and got the cutest little sweetheart. I cried harder this ep than the game even knowing how it was going down.
Thank you Rana, she is from Two and Half Men. That's why I love her face
The bloater scene was amazing! Both in The show and The reaction to it 🤣
Ever since The Last of Us (TV show) came out, everybody's been shitting on The Walking Dead even harder 🤣🤣
In the game it's really weird that Sam sleeps in different room while the other 3 slept in the same room, so having Sam deaf and younger in the show makes sense so that Ellie can sleep in the same room as him and not being attacked during her sleep.
One thing I haven't heard anyone mention was the part where Henry went back to get Ellie after the explosion shows that he wasn't really a rat (rat doesn't just mean snitch it means someone who is disloyal and betrays others who've helped them)
I watch a bunch of reactor channels. This was by far the best reaction! So fun taking that journey with you guys. Thanks so much!!😂
I really like ep 4 and 5 for displaying Joel's and Ellie's character development. You can see that Joel is opening up a bit since he's met Ellie and at the same time Ellie seems to close down after having experienced so much loss.
This episode was so good, I've been waiting for this reaction!
Same here. The Normies are gold as always.
the kid is sam. And he may be infected but he aint clicker yet (not mushroom head) and he can see (runner). My guess is he didnt want to attack ellie when he turns so he turned his back away from her and waited for the cordyceps to take over.
“It’s gonna work. I know medicine.”
Hell yeah been waiting for this one. Ready to get my heart broken again along with you guys.
People seem to forget that Joel broke his right hand from episode 1 and he struggles with it right now.
I love how the men in your group react, they're not afraid to be emotional on camera.
Missed a stage of infection and it looks like nobody else mentions this so I will, the process goes from runner to stalker then clicker then finally bloater. As far as I know we haven't seen any stalkers yet in the show but there were probably a few in that horde, but I hope the official introduction to stalkers is tight they are my favorite type of infected.
Episode 2 had a stalker in the end when it went mouth to mouth with tess
The way I was crying and smiling through this episode. They did it so well, even made some things better than the game!!
Loved your reaction, guys!!
I love your reactions so much. Micky's excitement for things is so freaking precious!!
Literally the best reaction group for this episode!!!!!! This episode was WILD!!!!!!!
Ironic how Kathleen said "Kids D!E everyday" and ended up meeting her end BY A KID... pleasurable moment bc well look so do adults
YES!!!! I was waiting for your guys reaction the most 😭😭😭
I absolutely love y’all your videos literally make my day
I love seeing the practical effects and if any cgi was used it was tastefully done. The ending when Ellie let out that gasp it definitely got me (felt so authentic). Great directing 🔥
The shot when they finally escape all the monsters & it pans up to all the clickers, runners, bloater running free & fire & chaos it reminded me of the formulaic Z-nation saying "If anyone asks, we were nowhere near Kansas City"
Been waiting for your guys reaction for this episode. Such a great episode, and such a great reaction!
Thank You for the reaction. ♥ Episode 5 was amazing. 👍 Probably my favourite episode so far. The story of Henry and Sam was so moving and the infected attack was very intense.
The stages for the infection are:
1) Runner (Immediately after the bite has set in)
2) Stalker ( About 2 months after the first bite)
3) Clicker ( About 2 years after the first bite)
4) Bloater ( About 15 years after the first bite)
(spoilers for tlou 2) but what about that freaky rat king thing in part 2? or was that just a bloater too
@@youwsernayme Yeah, that is the stage after the bloater (I didn't want to spoil anything), but that happens when the person is infected for decades, and it a accumulation of different infected bodies that can break apart at any time.
@@anirudhsrinivas4278 ew 😭 ok, thanks for the explanation
i noticed the same thing, him being deaf was the reason for not attacking. i mean you don’t immediately lose your sight, so maybe he was just resting, but i wonder if sound based weaponry could be used to disable clickers? i wouldn’t be surprised if they use that in the future!
esp since they raised the stakes with the mycelium network alerting the hive mind, they may have created a new weapon to handle large groups of clickers!
This may be my favorite reaction by you guys ever, cause its not often we see Chris go full Marketa/Rana reacting to moments. Seeing his legs bouncing, and him grabbing Marketa's leg. Chefs kiss......
Your reactions to the swarm and the bloater, especially Chris, Marketa and Rana, was priceless.
1. there are actually four common stages of infected, runner, stalker, clicker, bloater.
(There can also unusual mutations depending on the environment because nature is nature.)
2. Sam was not a clicker but a deaf runner, cordyceps makes people feral or rabid but not superhuman.
24:31 is the best reaction that I've had ever seen about this ep. And I've had seen A LOT of reactions. It's pure happiness for everybody
My favourite thing watching this show is spotting different places in the background. I’ve been to the ufa at the end lmao
Thank you for a really great reaction!
Thank you Marketa for sharing some history! How awful for neighbors to murder each other over nothing.
Love one another!
THE BEST REACTION EVER SEEN FOR THIS EPISODE ESPECIALLY THE BLOASTER SCENE THAT WAS PRICELESS THIS IS PROOF THIS SHOW IS MASTERPIECE 😍
Great reaction! Bloaters are not the final stage in the infection. Stage 1- Runner (which is what Sam was, he was not a Clicker), 2- Stalker, 3- Clicker, 4- Bloater, 5- Shambler, 6- The Rat King, 7- The interconnected Fungi.....as of now, they are the known stages. TLOU 2 explains the Shamlber and The Rat King.
