Part where yall talk about how Ellie is growing up in a world where everything is taken from her reminds me of the song that Ashley Johnson covered, as Ellie, called True Faith. One of the lyrics is "To the childhood I lost replaced by fear. I used to think that the day would never come, that my life would depend on the morning sun." She never got to experience a normal childhood just nothing but fear in that world. Endure and survive
This is the most vulnerable we’ve seen from both Joel and Ellie yet. We know watching from Joel the desperation to close himself off to preserve whatever humanity he doesn’t want to lose yet and him breaking down in front of Tommy is indicative of how much he’s barely keeping it together, how this dam he built up for himself is breaking apart the more he gets closer to his new surrogate daughter. Ellie, on the other hand, is a whole different kettle of fish. This is where her abandonment issues begin to boil over the more she loses her innocence; between being orphaned by her parents, being pawned off by Marlene, losing Riley, Tess, Henry and Sam, now she has to watch her father figure pawn her off and abandon her too? This girl can’t catch a damn break; it breaks my heart when she repeatedly tells him “Don’t leave me alone”.
All of the university scenes were filmed in my hometown Calgary. It was so weird seeing places I used to sit and study destroyed like that. Also, that amphitheater is usually full of cobra-chickens (aka geese) rather than monkeys.
The different levels of growth and emotional development between Joel and Tommy are a great example of how Maslow's hierarchy of needs works. Joel has been struggling to survive, keeping him from developing. Tommy, on the other hand, has been in a thriving community, so he has the security & safety to allow him to develop. Very interesting indeed...
I never noticed Joel rubbing the watch with his thumb while chatting with Ellie-such a good observation. Pedro’s acting choices for Joel are so subtle and so good! And both he and Bella are so expressive with their eyes and have amazing chemistry!!! I love them! And their off-screen friendship is so pure I can’t! ❤❤❤
Idk if anyone else got the same feel but that shot of Joel holding the rifle while Ellie watches is like the scene when Pedro was playing The Mandalorian having Grogu watch was a great scene to Pedro’s most known characters and how both have that surrogate father relationship to their new kids.
i can't wait, these have genuinely been a lot of fun to watch and cry too. thank you for creating these reacts and for the crazy amount of speed of editing it, while still editing it so well
I need this show to issue an apology for the sadness I acquired while having it rewatch Henry and Sam die. I can’t manage seeing that more than once, lol. Also good episode for Joel. Pedro did such a good job with his acting, it’s so clear all though he’s our antagonist he’s still very flawed. It’s sad to know over 20 years later he still hasn’t managed to move forward and find peace within himself, so it makes his new found relationship with Ellie even better because at least now he can channel all that into taking care of her.
I lost my daughter to cancer. Sometimes we put walls, because we feel guilty, and deeply tainted. That we prefer people to stay away from what we have to offer. Which is nothing good. It's not a matter of it being ok or not.. it's survival and it's necessary.
Girl it’s “Daddy Joel” literally every episode LMAO. it needs to be said. Daddy in every situation. Also, I forget Joel is from Texas so he does expect a Ellie to have table manners, the whole southern hospitality thing lol.
Tommy was in the military. Obviously he's going to have some preconceptions towards communism. 14:08 Tommy: ಠ_ಠ Me when they reached Jackson: :') Me when they enter the hall: ;_; Me when they show Dina: T_T Me when they show Shimmer: OH MY FUCKING GOD STOP! Damn TLoU 2 PTSD. Giraffes are last episode.
I never comment *cough* really I never do. Please do more. You two are great and I enjoy your break downs of the episode. This episode did a good job showing Joel's PTSD, 20 years later and it is stilling affecting him. So sad. I really like their growth in this episode. No giraffe but we got monkeys! Looking forward to next week.
I'm new to your channel. I watched a couple dozen videos already and love all that you do; how you wear your hearts on your sleeves and your humor and critique. You're all cool as f! 🐭
It always interesting hearing people talk about the scene where Jole says "You don't know lose" Because everyone always says something along the lines thats he's being a dick.Don't get me wrong she's lost people in her life but the lose joles felt is a different kind of lose. Most people can't imagine the pain it is to loose a child to loose someone that is literally part of yourself. To loose someone that you have put your heart and soul into to make sure that that they are taken care of that they are happy and healthy. But not only did he loose is daughter but he held her in his arms as she died. Not only did he hear but also felt the life leave her body I can't imagine the heart breaking pain he felt on that day.
Absolutely loved the part where you overlayed the game on the show. Amazing, I'm watching a lot of different reactors for this show and Bells and Alisha are far and away the best to watch a reaction with. Love watching with you keep up the great work😃😃😃
What a stupid comment. Joel is a human who has human emotions! Joel in the game is more of a superhero, but if you want to reach a wider audience who doesn't play the games, you make him a human who people can relate to
@@joelmayberry6771 they changed him Joel is a Masculine alpha male he doesn't have panic attacks he takes care of business they changed Joel from the game this is not Joel.
@@rx7dude2006 no they changed Joel from the game Joel is a alpha male he doesn't have panic attacks he gets shit done this is not Joel from the game they should kept Joel the way he is from the game to the show.
Sorry for the Audio de-sync towards the end of the video! We are properly flogging the editor! ;)
Ah good to hear about the flogging. It makes me feel a little better about it. All jokes aside, I very much enjoy these reacts.

When I saw the monkeys in the lab, I wanted to yell "JUMANJI!!!"
Every episode hurts in a certain level. This one wasn't different. Thank you for the hard work, we appreciate you all.

18:40
Those don't show up until Salt Lake City, actually, so no need to worry
At the end of this episode all that I could think was, reload from last save point.
I need this show to issue an apology for the sadness I acquired while having it rewatch Henry and Sam die. I can’t manage seeing that more than once, lol.
Also good episode for Joel. Pedro did such a good job with his acting, it’s so clear all though he’s our antagonist he’s still very flawed.

Was so glad they got the argument in almost verbatim.

Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss, thank you for your insight as well
Girl it’s “Daddy Joel” literally every episode LMAO. it needs to be said. Daddy in every situation.

14:08 Tommy: ಠ_ಠ
Me when they reached Jackson: :')
Me when they enter the hall: ;_;
Me when they show Dina: T_T
Me when they show Shimmer: OH MY FUCKING GOD STOP!
Damn TLoU 2 PTSD.
Giraffes are last episode.
We have jails but we don't use them. Well it's called the river of death for a reason. Being expelled from the tribe is a death sentance.
Thank you editor for the video game comparison shot.
Love the scenery in this episode, makes much more sense than 10 miles west of Boston 😄
This series gives me da Full Spectrum of Feels! I am soooo in!

Excellent side-by-side cut of the bedroom scene! Well done!

Not much expression on Joel's face like the scene in the game, but! Still... Hits hard as hell
L look ast
This is not joel he doesn't have panic attacks he a badass cowboy I have no idea who this is this is not joel
When people go through a painful experience, a hole opens up in their hearts. Mimir said that the more painful the experience, the bigger the hole.
What a stupid comment. Joel is a human who has human emotions! Joel in the game is more of a superhero, but if you want to reach a wider audience who doesn't play the games, you make him a human who people can relate to
Ignorant comment right here everyone!
