#thelastofus #reaction #hbomax
The way all the women who've reacted to this episode immediately got VIBES from David. The "grooming" comment 10:33 was on point.
The fact David was a teacher back before the outbreak creeps me out even more.
Position of power attract ped0s. Teachers, preachers, police, politics etc.
Didn’t think of that 😬
I was literally shouting "KYS DAVID!" to the screen like it's stressing me out 😭
Right and the outbreak allowed him to escape without being held accountable for his actions.
That could've just been a lie to get her to trust him. His entire life at that point was based on lies
The horse wasn't shimmer by the way. Shimmer was the new foal Ellie was petting in the stables. This horse is a different one. In the game Ellie named him Callus since they didn't ask Tommy what the name of the horse they took was.
I was just going to point that out.
Shimmer is still a baby during this time as we see
Yeah! (Spoilers for season 2 - Adult Shimmer will *blow* peoples minds in season 2 😂)
@@MarleyOfWar you sly dog
Facts
Joel wasn't needed to save her physically, but he came in at just the right time to save her emotionally. You see when he finds her that she's in total shellshock. She can only manage "He...he..." (trying to tell him about her attempted rape) before she can't say anything. She needed that hug in the worst way possible at that moment. She needed her father.
In the game David tries to strangle her, although I think it was implied that he was a pervert and r**ist.. they made it even worse in the show.
What got me was the "You're alright babygirl."
@@cajuncoonass5053 that's it.. she didn't heard that for a long time.. or maby never!
@Martine She probably never heard it but it's what Joel told his daughter while she was dying. That's why it hits me so hard.
@@cajuncoonass5053 true💔
“baby girl” 😢 that’s so sad but also so sweet coming from joel
You'll note that in that scene, they also make a point to focus on Joel's watch, the keepsake from Sarah that he still has.
@@mst3KGf good notice!
The characters have come full circle. This is why gamers loved the story so much. It is possible even in complete darkness for humans to open up their hearts and heal each other's worst traumas. All the scary things and crazy scenes were just a sideshow to show how both Joel and Ellie grew to trust each other completely.
*ugly cry* for reals
Papa Pedro.
Suraj realising what that "venison" was and then silently gagging and trying to continue not to spoil anything made me laugh way too hard. This is why he's our best boy
Credit to Suraj. Though he did fell down a few points because of his AoT dub reactions.
righttttttttttttttt he looked at the bull on his left to see if he realized lololl
He was doing that for us
Joel in this episode is like a wounded animal fighting for his cub.
The fact that they made David a school teacher prior to the infection who taught students around Ellie's age.... he definitely did the same thing to them
Well... He did say he always had a violent heart... Disgusting.
I never wanted to murder a fictional character until now 😭
Ah, fuck! I didn't even think of that. Makes so much sense when you said it!
@@scorpioj3 your wish was already taken
The reaction from "baby girl" legit got everyone. This fucking show is such an incredible adaptation.
"It's ok, baby girl... I gotchu." was like a critical hit to me. Shit just summoned the tears outta my eyes.
7:05 Suraj’s face when he realized what the meat was lol
I was about to comment the same thing! Great reaction
Haha he really was the only one that caught on to that. And his face said everything lol.
2:18 Micky smiling the moment he sees "David" on the subtitles. He knew immediately - chaos was afoot 🤣
Spoilery subtitles. blechhhh this is why I'm No Subs Gang.
@@jimmygreer2140 i reckon accessibility is more important than you not liking subtitles lmao
@@jimmygreer2140 I didn't mind it. The only way anyone would have known the significance of it is if you already played the game. And in that instance - it only makes those who know the story more excited knowing what's coming. Case in point - Micky lmao.
@Jimmy Greer It's second nature for me at this point after watching anime and sometimes watching it in a group you can miss what is being said
@@tnk1041 Yes, these are valid points. But I still believe that subtitles should keep the names hidden until the names are spoken. But as a part of No Sub Gang, it was pretty freakin obvious who he was.
And you can't deny that other subtitles aren't nearly as subtle and can spoil things. Or just straight up get things wrong.
And it gets even more egregious when it comes to foreign content. Like I still haven't seen Squid Game because Korean speakers were saying the subtitles basically changed the story....that Korean speakers got a different show than English readers did.
But I expect someday the subtitties gang is gonna put subtitles everywhere. Even in the movie theaters.
The clicking you heard is called a "buck rub", it's when a male deer (Or buck as they are called) rubs their antlers and forehead up against a tree, it's how they mark their territory.
*ellie killing david*
chris: "internet give me the 10 hour cut of this" 😂😂😂
I got u fam
Holy shit, this episode may have well jumped to as my favorite episode of the season right now and that’s with incredible episodes before. Troy as James was nice to see as well as David too and the episode was like one to one from the game. Bella and Pedro still solidify their statuses
Bella Ramsey deserves all the awards for this episode.
Ellie murdering someone:
Chris: YES YES YES MORE 🤣 24:18
Best part of the video
Someone can make a meme out of that part and "Internet, get me a 10 hour cut of this". Works for everything.
I got choked up at the baby girl line like anyone with a heart would. They are now permanently trauma bonded 😆
The fact the little girl isn't crying when she's hit likely means this isn't the first time it has happened, and that she knows it'll be worse for her if she does react in any other way, which was really sad
24:50 Chris, your reaction “baby girl” was EXACTLY like my own when I first played this game 10 years. Glad you’re enjoying!
The horse is not Shimmer, it is Callus.
yeah thank god its not shimmer
@@atlas-ff7qp shimmer is still a baby 🥹
Not anymore. Now it's Lunch.
@@Blazingstoke STOPPP 😭😭😭
I felt bad for the horse and that was sad really well trained horse 🐎!
I hope Marketa is doing OK :( it looked like that scene with David really affected her
Yh that scene really messed me up
Yeah same here. Sending virtual hugs
hugs to you all! it was a rough watch for sure
Noticed a lot of women in reaction vids having a similar response, makes you think how many women have dealt with creepy mf'ers like David in their lives.
It was such a horrifying scene I totally felt the same way Marketa!
33:05 I initially took their location to mean safety. Like Tommy's commune, the cold weather keeps the infected away (mostly). Though in the podcast the creators said the town was a 'resort' that probably looked very comfortable in summertime. Not so much in winter.
As a SA survivor, I have to say that Joel finding Ellie and holding on to her, telling her she is safe now, is so cathartic and heartbreaking in equal measures. Because I KNOW this isn't a healthy coping mechanism, but there is still a part of me that wishes I could be held by a father figure like that, with the reasurrance that I can protect myself if need be, but that there is someone to comfort me too. And again, not to downplay the importance of female solidarity, but the thought of having a father figure in particular do that might be something a lot of SA survivors can relate to, especially if they never received that kind of support from their own parents.
The 3 body's hanging in the freezer were likely strangers though they I do think they were eating Hannah's Dad. I say this because David sent out the 4 men to the nearby town to look for "supplies". He doesn't say what the supplies are but considering how the man, Alec came at Joel with a bat for no provoked reason makes me think the "supplies" included humans.
Hannah's Dad could have been what they were eating since it has been a few days since he died and they didn't want him to "spoil" 🤢🤮 Or he could have been one of the headless bodies hanging in the freezer.
Or it could have actually been venison. That same day David asked how much food was left and James said venison, elk, rabbit if we ration it about a weeks' worth. Then again there were 3 bodies hanging there so the venison, elk and rabbit could have been referring to them.
@@kkjhn41 Read a comment somewhere those could've been code for the bodies, like venison = male meat, elk = woman meat, rabbit = child 🤢
@@kkjhn41I hate David so much , he is creepy and worst Man
He raped girls and kills everyone
*Joel killing everybody*
Everyone: 😱
Mickey and Suraj: 🥹
Looool
The trauma Ellie experiences here plays a major part in all her future decisions. This was my favorite episode so far and that’s saying a lot. Loved this part of the game. Next episode will be epic and painful.
This episode just shows how ruthless Joel and Ellie can be. Now I'm excited for the next episode!!!
24:20 YESSSSSSS internet please deliver the 10 hour cut lmaooo
My favorite thing about watching reactions for this show is the faces of the people who played the game. The look of “they’re doing the exact thing!” and the being excited to talk about it but letting the non-players have the experience for the first time because they don’t want to take that away from them.
Gotta give props to Scott Shepherd. He absolutely nailed David's character, being charismatic enough at first, but still giving off the unsettling vibes.
Suraj and Micky looking at eachother knowing what the meat is......priceless
Worse thing is David says he always had a violent heart and he was a teacher... with how he treated both young women, he probably had a few victims before the outbreak. Really disturbing character.
Bella's performance was beautiful. The casting for this episode specifically is near perfect.
"Tell them Ellie's the girl, who BROKE YOUR F**KIN' FINGER!!!"
As much as I love Ashley Johnson's performance as Ellie, Bella Ramsey took that line and made it 10x more badass! That hateful roar towards David had so much venom and disgust! If the previous episode "Left Behind" doesn't convince people that she is the perfect Ellie, this episode seals the deal!!!
She better win an Emmy for this season, and I can't wait to see how she plays Ellie going into Season 2 when they adapt Part 2!
Only took until near the end of the season for her to start actually acting like Ellie, bravo, lol.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 she has been Ellie the entire time. It's a proper portrayal of an actual kid where game ellie is a bit more mature and I often forgot how young she was supposed to be since she didn't always act like a kid. I've really enjoyed bella's portrayal of a young teen that hasn't had a good life or any sort of family. She is loud and rude as defense mechanisms.
@@SohiHien legit well said. Exactly it. Bella is so much younger than Ashley, so really captures Ellie's authentic youthfulness. I was SO skeptical of Bella Ramsey before, but man...she is absolutely 100% Ellie.
@@willfanofmanyii3751shut the hell up
I'm not gonna lie, but seeing Chris tear up at the "baby girl" line fucking broke me more than the actual moment when I watched the show 😢😢 I know I've seen him be touched or affected by emotional moments in previous reactions, but that was a full-on, need to take the glasses off cry and I was not prepared for it!
I don't know how they did it, but, somehow, they made David even WORSE.
Edit: "Worse" as in "scary".
Is he also a pedo in the game?
They really did! He’s even creepier and more menacing
Now people finally can't deny he's pedo r@pist
Well done. He had me fooled in the beginning. I thought he was good and the story took a different direction. Great writing and great acting.
David's group is also the group the old native couple in the cabin were talking about to Joel and ellie....which I'm pretty sure what Joel knew or probably suspected them being cannibals...which triggered his PTSD in that episode
24:49 was so stressed while watching, despite seeing game play by multiple people. I was so tensed up, mentally and physically, that when Joel said those words to Ellie, I LOST it. Started bawling🖐🏼💔 poor Joel and ellie. Heart always hurting for them
That little girl mourning her father. And she ate her father without knowing she was eating him. "The ground is too cold to dig. We'll bury your father in the spring" was a cover. Her father had already been chopped up. And his wife is the one who put him in the stew, thinking it was dear but it was actually her husband.
Also I just realized. So the little girl. Her dad attacked Joel unprovoked. And he was part of a small group sent to find food. David said only a few know about the cannibalism. And it would make sense that the people he sent to get food would be aware of what would be considered food. If he knew people were on the menu, then it would make more sense why he would try and sneak attack Joel like he did. They went to find food. He saw two people, Joel and Ellie. He saw food. He attacked them unprovoked because he was sent to hunt for food, they are food. It makes sense now. Cause I kept thinking, 'but he attacked Joel, Joel was defending himself, why did your man attack someone unprovoked?' Cause he was sent to hunt for food and he knew that humans counted as food since they were cannibals. So when he saw Joel and Ellie, he didn't just attack unprovoked. He tried to hunt them. Failed miserably but that was why he did it. He didn't just attack unprovoked for no reason. He was hunting Joel and Ellie for food.
After killing David, and walking out of the restaurant, Ellie looked and seemed older like in game 2.
I rewinded that part like 4 times. I kept saying why the hell does she look like Ellie?! 😆😅
yep! i thought that as she was killing david too i thought bella looked so much older
I think it's the hair, the way it's fallen out of her ponytail makes it look like her part II hairstyle.
She aged 5 years mid-chop.
She looks a lot like Ashley Johnson at times to.
I love how Suraj seems to be the only one in the beginning to realize their eating people 😂
I think Suraj, Mickey both played the first TLoU
I've watched several reactions and that 'I've got you, baby girl' makes me absolutely cry every time. Man.
I just noticed an extremely small but creepy detail. At 4:26, right as Ellie told them to drop their weapons, David had the slightest but creepiest smirk when he noticed it was a young girl's voice. Such amazing acting for such a hideous character.
"Can you imagine the first human to discover seasoning?" - it's how we used to preserve meat before freezers & refrigerators. Salt sucks a ton of moisture out of the meat and then covering it in pepper and other things creates a barrier from stuff getting into the meat.
this is why cultures from warmer climates tend to have spicier food! the spices also keep scavengers and bugs away. in cold climates, its much easier to just leave meat out in the cold.
What kind of seasoning would you use for human meat? Salt & Pepper or something more exotic? 🤔🤢
@@Y0Da77 same stuff as pork, I imagine
One of the interesting aspects of David's revelation after the fall--it was worship of the fungus. Thinking in terms of the storyline, I am sure he is not the only character to embrace that faith--and a wide latitude of expression. Maybe future exploration.
I'm in tears each time watching Ellie reaction on the end. Never seen such good acting from such young person. Bella deserves an award for this role.
11:57 *Rana:* _"Shimmer!"_ 🐎
Don't worry *Rana,* that wasn't *Shimmer.* The little pony back in the stable was named *Shimmer.* 🐴
*Edit:* Although, I believe the version of *Shimmer* in the video game is a horse that *Ellie* gets to ride.
they are the same horse. At this time shimmer would likely be a young foal in the game too since it is a few years later in game 2 when Ellie has her as her horse.
Troy Baker did great in this role. I love the shot of him looking at meat at the end of his fork and hesitating to eat it, knowing exactly what it is.
David: "You know what I see when I look at you?"
Chris: "Two steaks."
🤣🤣🤣
Comic timing👏🏻
12:03 - That's not Shimmer. This horse is Callus. Shimmer is a baby at this point and it will be the horse she uses in Pt 2.
“It’s okay baby girl” UGHHH I bawled 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lmao Micky's cheeky little look when Marketa see's the ear hahaha. He was waiting for that shit.
This episode was SOMETHING ELSE! Easily one of my favorites. Bella is 100% Ellie, there's no doubt in there either. Watching these again with you guys is awesome!
That wasn’t shimmer that was callus… rip callus
i wish i could as invested in Movies and shows as Rana does. she's played the game and she still reacts like it's her first time seeing this, lowkey jealous.
My favorite arc from the game and MY WORD did they do it justice. I'm right there with Chris. in the game, and once again in the show, that "it's okay, baby girl" oof. Tears everytime.
suraj staring into the camera on the dinner scene bruh i caaan’t 😂 also troy baker took the SMALLEST bite of his food lol 🤢
"They ate Hannah's dad" and "two steaks" took me out 🤣
“Its okay, I believe him...” Is just, Mwah! Chefs Kiss!!
Episode 3 is my favorite emotional episode, literally top tier tv in tv history. But this episode is my favorite action/zombie episode so far. This was an awesome post apocalyptic sort of episode. Loved it.
Action zombie? There is not even an infected in this episode, how would you know 😂. Episode 3 is way overrated imo and the took away too much of what Bill is in the game.
@@Vale9118 Action SLASH zombie, can you read?
@@sopsiarskye1577 well action/something that wasn’t there this episode, makes more sense
I meant zombie as in post apocalyptic zombie movie. And nah. Episode 3 is underrated.
"What is it?"
*incredibly awkward, lengthy pause*
"Venison"
-Siraj's eyes: "nooooooooooooo"
"its ok baby girl" hit me hard
"You're either with Wonkru, or you're against Wonkru--decide!" 😂
The fact that both Suraj and Eric from Blindwave wanted Joel to put a log on the bed makes me so happy
The show The Terror is about the two ships that got lost looking for the Northwest Passage (and what happened to the crew)! I watched it a few weeks ago after seeing Yellowjackets, it’s very well done! One of the stars is Edmure Tully from GoT.
in the game joel initiates the hug they share at the end of the episode but here, ellie is who goes in for the hug, it's a very small detail but i love it so much.
this was definitely my fav episode so far, im so excited and nervous for next episode. Bella Ramsay absolutely killed it
When Joel said it's ok baby girl it hit deep.
For future reference, as far as i know liquid antibiotics like that are usally (but not always) injected in a muscle and not intravenously. Looks liek a big bottle so my guess it was meant for use on animals. There are IV antibiotics too, but i dont think this was meant for that. If injected in the blood stream it can shock the system completely. On horses it's usually injected in a muscle in the neck. :D
That damn water glass is so close to the edge of your table it’s giving me crazy anxiety lol
33:56 was not expecting Chris to bring up my people (Inuit), pleasantly surprised 😎
(Of my people being recognized, not the story of what he was talking about)
20:04 my man really said "E for effort"
Suraj being the only one reacting to the meal...LOL...great self-control to not just tell everyone what that meat was and let it be revealed later.
Initially this episode was too much for me, just because I wasn’t expecting the violence against children and or the p*dophile/r**ist. It was so intense I started having flashbacks and ended up crying myself to sleep.
HOWEVER…that is what makes it so good. It’s exposing people like Cathleen and David. Some of us see the red flags, as victims, but a lot of time no one catches them in time.
Loved this reaction! Thank you guys for discussing even the most difficult topics. Much love!
They really fed that little girl her own dad. That's wild
Just bought the bottle from your link! I've waited for that to come back in stock, happy to support you guys while finally getting it. ❤️
Ellie channeled her inner Rorschach when David was trying to get her in the steakhouse. "I'm not locked in here with you! You're locked in here with me!"
It does not rush. The cut scenes in the game are about 2 hrs. The last part of the first game can be done in about 60 to 75 minutes. Don't confuse game play with the scenes. It is not rushed.
This has honestly been such a great show and we only have one episode left. Genuinely can’t wait for season 2.
I don’t know about that 😬
@@Vale9118 Can't wait for season 2
i also can’t wait for people to get mad, i’m going to enjoy that so much.
@@Vale9118 I think the fact that the writers of the show are clearly taking an overall different approach to the storytelling structure than the games is a good indication that what happens in part 2 will be executed differently. It could possibly be much better and I have hope it will.
@@juicestains52 I don’t see all this “different approach” except for what happened to Bill and the only reason I think they did that was because his part in the game is really action packed and they preferred another direction… all the rest of the story is basically same as the game 🤷🏼♀️ if Ellie will be on a revenge journey it will have to be impactful as in the game or it won’t work
“Papa Pedro” OMG IVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE EP 3, & IVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO CATCH ON 😂
Marketa: "wtf is wrong with you?!"
Me: 😬😬😬 oh it gets worse
oh my GOD, vintage internet meme gold right there 😂😂😂 my husband and I still shout badgerbadgerbadgerbadger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM at each other on the reg.
Love that there are others who recognize the vintage memes hahaha
"Everything happens for a reason."
Ellie happened to David. Good for her.
Hahaha, me the whole time yelling "That's not Shimmer!" Shimmer was a foal/pony. The one they took was a broken and trained adult horse who I also think we were told it's name at some point but I can't remember what it was. XD I really enjoy your guys' reactions! Thanks for this!
When James was about to shoot Ellie and got stopped by David, I was half expecting him to say "sorry kid" cause he knew what David probably wanted to do.
The barn scene with ellie is the part of the game that impacted me the most. I remember the fear choking me and the very real visceral feeling of "kill or be (WORSE than) killed". I remember being so shaken that after the end of the scene I quietly stood up, set down my controller and took a walk. I think it was even more terrifying because I am a woman and that is the moment that women fear the most in the most visceral and instinctive way. That she is a child, alone and forced to give up the last bit of her innocence to save herself in a way. Also, that of all the enemies and all the evil that we see in the game (and show) it's that I find the most horrific AND the most probable to actually occur.
Rana calling the horse the wrong name 😂😂 RIP Callous!
(I think that’s how you spell it)
I think it’s Callus, at least according to the Fandom Wiki.
Remove the 'o'.
But hey, at least we'll get Shimmer.
I could be wrong but I don't think they ever mentioned Callus in the show! They did mention Shimmer in episode 6 which is obviously the one from part 2 and why Rana kept saying his name. But yeah it's definitely Callus that got shot lol
What kinda name is Callus anyway?
This episode was so well made and so well adapted
For what it’s worth, the horse wasn’t Shimmer. Shimmer was just a baby at Jackson. They took a different horse.
great reaction yall, im glad yall are enjoying the series!! (also marketas earrings are the cutest things ive ever seen!!)
one of the more interesting details is how david used to bea teacher, putting him in a position of power over kids the age of ellie and hannah. i think we can infer the kind of guy he was before the apocalypse.
"Internet, give me the ten hour cut of this" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"its okay babygirl, I've got you" hit all of us so fucking hard. Seeing chris and marketa have the same reaction to the scene and the words, they are gonna be the fiercest protective and loving girl parents in the future
Rana is my favorite to watch, she gets so concerned and into it 😂😂
Bit too much, she jumps like a cricket in every show at every scene… cmon
@@Vale9118 She also repeatedly gave away,that the preacher is a pedo - thank god the rest of the group didn't listen to her,before it was revealed.
Re-watch #2 and Mickey's face/screen from @15:39-15:59 took me TF-OUT 😆🤣😆
When Joel hit her with the "baby girl"...me: instantly 😭🥰
40:17 So here's a horrifying fun fact, theyre not technically dead. In specific ant species, the cordyceps literally controls everything, but the brain. They take control of all motor functions and pretty much turn it into a meat puppet that still has its mind in tact. So in the show and going back to Sam's question about being a monster, you would pretty much be aware but not in control which is just terrifying
Wow, thanks I really hate that!
That’s not shimmer… shimmer was a foal… the horses name was Callus
That horse wasn't Shimmer. She's just a colt back in Jackson. That horse is named Callus.
The show is called The Last of Us. Not Cordycepts. Focusing on the human aspect instead of the monsters is much more compelling for me.
