I remember a friend and me were laughing at walking dead fans who say "they are not zombies, they are walkers" and then when I bought up the Last of Us he went dead serious "they are actually infected, not zombies"

No, he's the main player character. *You* get to decide whether he's the good guy based on your assessment of your actions and choices within the context as you understand it. In the end Joel's motives are deeply selfish, but it is hard to judge considering that the motives of others around him are selfish also. He seeks to keep Ellie safe to deliver something beneficial, but then he does not judge that sacrificing her for some kind of 'hey she has magic we have to cut out of her brain' to be good enough. Does his preference for more murder to protect his daughter-surrogate make him a good person? Not at all. But you went on that journey and you can decide to whom you can extend compassion and understanding. The point of the game, to me, is that humans are scarier than the infected. The infecter are base, animalistic and without malice. The people you meet are the true monsters.
Druckman later explains in an interview and said something like "When you think Zombies, you think slow shambling creatures and cheesy B-Movies. By not calling them Zombies, we're saying to the audience that 'this is a serious story where the infected are a part of the setting and the focus is on the characters. Not the spectacle".
Joel goes from the guy calling them zombies to the one killing other for calling the infected zombies. This is subtle character development due to show not tell
There was a Kotaku interview where they asked Druckman why not just call them zombies. He said something like "When you hear Zombies, you think slow shambling creatures and cheesy B-Movies. By not calling them Zombies, we're saying to the audience that 'this is a serious story where the infected are a part of the setting and the focus is on the characters. Not the spectacle". I guess that explains why games like Dead Rising and Black Ops Zombies call them zombies because they're not treating them as seriously as TLOU or Walking Dead.
Ok, to be fair zombies were traditionally the dead risen from their graves to feast on peoples brains. So no, they're not John Romero zombies, but the term has evolved to include infected persons who lose control of their bodies.
Well to be fair zombies before Romero reinvented them were mostly people/corpses possessed by voodoo, so the term from conception has always kinda been a person who has lost control of their body
Wow I can't wait to have none of the upgraded weapons from the first game... sure it's been like 5 years but guns dont expire like food. That AR 15 should be good for another decade if treated properly.
There is no plot armor more durable than a box cover.
Tony Stark in Endgame might disagree
Bioshock might disagree
Mass Effect might disagree
Minecraft might, how shall we say, disapprove ;)

Saying "They are NOT zombies." is equivalent to saying the bikes in Mario Kart for the Wii are "Still technically Karts."

This game ended on the biggest cliff hanger of all time: Are they zombies?
Lmao amazing vid mate
ummm hi?
Are you sufficiently hydrated??
Woah, I was just watching your video bro what is this, a crossover episode?
How does a 3 year old Modest Pelican comment only 100 likes and 3 replies 😭
This recap is actually short, fun and on point unlike those 15+ minute boring ass videos.
Remember that Joel is the good guy because sometimes you forget when he kills everyone.
Uncharted Syndrome
I feel like the game makes it pretty clear that he's not a good guy.
@@hemangchauhan2864 Nah, Drake is the good guy because he quips.

Cant wait to play the last of us: Zero where they explore the lab which caused the 'not zombie' outbreak to happen. Located in B7R near Belka
Dude... yes.. lol b7r.. so many memories
*_It was a cold and snowy day..._*
They're NOT Belkans
Lmao that girl noise when the rabbit Gets impaled by An arrow was the best thing in this video
“Room that has a 1000% chance of a combat encounter” lol
They played into that quite well in the second though. So many chest high walls and supplies, that don't actually indicate a fight.
The outro song makes this video go from a 9/10 to a 11/10
I concur, very top shelf 🤙
What’s the original song
@@dax421 It's called "Zombie"
The last of us: " they're not zombies "
Me:"okay I believe you "
Nice Just a pancake reference
I can hear it
Okay, **We** believe you

I'm loving the 8bit cranberries song at the end
Joel goes from the guy calling them zombies to the one killing other for calling the infected zombies.
This is subtle character development due to show not tell
Awww yes ,can’t get a good nights rest without my daily dose of explosion.
Only took 49 seconds to get your dose.
Im gonna make a 40 minute video essay crying about how you're wrong
instant subscribe hahaha
I think the point of his character is to be wrong
Or else he's just a very stupid man
“ANNNNNDDD he’s a cannibal” the way my jaw dropped lmfaoo 😭
I've been waiting for the most accurate story recap
Naughty dog: fun isn’t something one considers when coding a naughty dog game but this does put a smile on my face
I love the recap, and the humor in it as well lol. Thank you for making this.
There are lots of mushroom infected humans in 1960s and 1970s sci fi. This game is a throwback.
This is one of the best video I’ve watched in ages. 100% audience retention 🔥💯🔥
This review was beautiful. And the 8bit reference was an amazing touch lol. Thanks man
At least Joel didn't use 2 bullets to kill Marline
He learned from Tess' mistake
everything this man said is pure gold
omg brilliant commentary, chuckled many times, ty for awesome recap
hahahahahahahhahahaha i just love how u put the cramberies "ZOMBIES" at the end
You make great videos man, always make me laugh :'D. The King of Call Backs....they're not zombies
Everybody gangsta till you’re on the front of the box.
"They are not zombies!"
So, this is either Joel on a huge acid trip or these are actually just crazy people who have an urge to behavw like zombies.
There was a Kotaku interview where they asked Druckman why not just call them zombies. He said something like "When you hear Zombies, you think slow shambling creatures and cheesy B-Movies.

I guess that explains why games like Dead Rising and Black Ops Zombies call them zombies because they're not treating them as seriously as TLOU or Walking Dead.
"Ellie is immune to the corona virus"
I spat my coffee over my brand new macbook.
This may be my fave upload of yours. Thanks my guy :)
Dude why don't you have more subs, you're hilarious
They are not ducks, but they do look, act, and walk like ducks. But they are totally not ducks.
5:05 love that reference lol
Brilliant video mate.
This is very well done, you've got my sub.
It is so good to have you back!!
I didn't think you'd get a laugh out of me with the outro song but here I am laughing at it
This is my favorite game of all time, and somehow I never thought to refer to Joel and Ellie as "Jellie". Thank you for that.
Instant sub! Best recap ever
This was hilarious, thanks for the recap!
With this I can now watch the last of us part 2 game plays without having to spend 3 days of watching the last of us 1
Ok, to be fair zombies were traditionally the dead risen from their graves to feast on peoples brains. So no, they're not John Romero zombies, but the term has evolved to include infected persons who lose control of their bodies.
They sound and behave exactly like traditional zombies from nearly any media. They just have mushroom hats on. They're zombies.
Well to be fair zombies before Romero reinvented them were mostly people/corpses possessed by voodoo, so the term from conception has always kinda been a person who has lost control of their body
Dunno sounds like zombies to me
Thats was amazing best recap ive ever seen amazing job man hilarious af 💯💯💯 great job!
Great commentary. Some sharp wit in it :-)
you have an unbelievably impressive ability to make any game look horribly written
5:08
No one gonna talk about Hawkeye here?!
no ok then.
I am
I'm loving the recap videos
You guys see they added a jump mechanic to TLOU2? Truly groundbreaking! 96%
And that's why grounded difficult was removed
@@g______balll6674 and added again
There’s a lou2? The first one ended with me shooting the doctor in the knee and he passed out from pain and Joel and Ellie rode off into the sunset
This is the video game version of the "Pitch Meeting" videos. Love it.
Jesus dude, this video had me rolling. You’re channel is an absolute gem. You are hilarious.
0:58 I dont feel so good Mr. Kovats
This format is awesome! Give us more recap from games you liked!
Thank you! Now I don't have to pay for a HBO Max subscription.
5:15 had me dying "they're not zombies"
Hey this guy actually puts out pretty good content when he’s not too busy putting out mediocre stream highlight videos
He doesn't do it on this channel tho?
The 8 bit zombie cover at the end :p
2:10 that made spray my virtual drink all over my screen!!!! 🤣
5:03 LMAO he actually edited in Emme Montgomery’s scream into the scene 😂
Wow I can't wait to have none of the upgraded weapons from the first game... sure it's been like 5 years but guns dont expire like food. That AR 15 should be good for another decade if treated properly.
you forgot the number 1 rule in a (non) zombie apocalypse, double-tap.
Bro you need more subscribers , you’re hilarious
You deserve my sub for this video.
Can’t wait for the sequel to this video, it’s just going to be him playing Wii Golf
Glad to see you're back. I was worried that Sigmund broke you! :)
I bailed on this video. I'm not waiting all day for the recap.
sometimes you have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine
I needed this
Lmao Serenity in the thumbnail. I get the joke
Love your vids
Dude your humor is on point
Joel is not on the front of the box of TLOU2!...na...he will probably be fine!
Too soon...
"They make their way through City 17"
Ah yes they fight some combine, right? With a crowbar, if I'm not mistaken.
reload is mapped to R2 because square already has a use, it's used to melee.
The Video is so goood 😂😂
I Subbed
5:04 Lol, always gets me everytime
I got hooked
and I loved it
perfect video
I really like the end credits song. Brilliant
5:54 makes me laugh cause it's like Ellie is tired of Phillip saying "there not zomibie".

I'm so thankful I'm smoking a joint while watching this.
the outro song was the best touch
They are totally zombies, Phillip
holy shit bill had the saddest story out of everyone
Dude I love your sense of humour jajaja
4:58 When you sit on your keys...
It’s not like there gonna have every main character in the cover
8-bit zombie cover, nice
3:44 I choked laughing
Omg okay okay sir you got my Sub!! Damn that was so funny spot on! Spot on! 🤣🤣
"theyre not zombies" *zombie by Cranberries plays at the end*
So, the real question.
"Is it in front of the box though?"
Now see, I could write another commentary for an oboe video but I couldn't think of any funny jokes. But thats okay because oboe actually could.
