The Last of Us premiere was spectacular. (spoiler discussion thread)

[BearyManilowe]

He's white european pfgt. Just swarthy from spain being so close to africa.

Pedro Pascal is Chilean.

[Coal Man]

You aren’t wrong but JFLOLOL you made an entire thread being edgy about being happier with Xbox in response to other threads about….. Xbox.

Don’t pretend you are somehow above the exact thing they’re doing.

Yeah it's a thread for laughs, what's wrong with that?

[Coal Man]

This
Kinda cringe at sonycels saying it's a good game. You can have the best graphics, best gameplay, best sound design etc but if the story sucks in a story based game the game is trash. Cuckman ruined one of the best franchises in the history of gaming and it will never recover unless Part 3 is a prequel to 1, which would be pretty dope tbf seeing the world go to chit and Joel slowly becoming a hardened shell of his former self.

Why tf would they remove the best character in their fuking game. He's pretty much the protagonist and Ellie is the catalyst that changes him. I don't even care about the tranny stuff if it's done well, and I'm sure it is but goddamn if they wanted Ellie to be the star of the second game couldn't they find a way to send Joel on an important errand somewhere else for the whole of the game?

Reddit loves TLOU 2 and every time I see them discuss why it's hated on, they blame it on the wokeness/trannies and not the Joel thing. Fuking idiots.

[Paul Kreul]

How do you mean you need more explanation of how it crumbled. Did we not watch the same show when all hell was breaking loose? Look at the level of control the government was able to exert on us over this lame ass covid. Compare that to people getting infected, going rabid in 1-2 days and killing/eating each other. Doesn't take a large stretch of the imagination to realise that heavy government intervention was necessary to bring back some semblance of normal life. Of course people gave away their freedoms to survive.

I meant everything turning to chit/abandoned..I never understood this about end of days/zombie movies. They did the same thing in I Am Legend. It's not like we lose technology. The whole "must abandon all ways of life" makes no sense. If the goal is to restrict people from movement around the country/world..it doesn't mean the uninfected have to live in tier 3rd world societies...every movie/show does this, and it makes zero sense.

It makes complete sense. Where are the supply lines in order to live in 1st world conditions? Everything becomes next to impossible. Electric, heating, food, water, medicine especially on large populations... jeez you're dumb

No it doesn't make sense. A farmer can live off the land build his own house and grow his own crops anywhere in the world..you can build a damn nice house yourself with nothing but the supplies around you..well for water and live abundantly..again we don't lose technology and there is no reason to think supply chains are cut off when you can just rebuild..you ever see how the Amish live? They make everything THEMSELVES

And where do you think the Amish get all their raw materials from? How can you live off the land when everything is infected with the Cordyceps fungus? You're going to build a little house like that for thousands of starving survivors and keep all the zombies out? How are you going to provide electricity, clean water, clean crops etc for all these people? You better go outside and scavenge, good luck with zombies everywhere. Dumb af take, the game and show is too much for you to understand. Stick to idk Resident Evil movies or something

People can learn to build for themselves..it's how we got here in the first place..and again, it's not like there ceases to be natural resources...why would you think life ends..?well water is clean water..do you even understand how electricity works..you realize I've built my own solar panels...you sound like someone that is incapable of knowing how to do jack chit in their lives, and must depend on everyone else
Why would you think supply chains need to be cut off?

Do everyone a favor..don't contaminate the gene pool with your seed.
Thanks

[kr1kit]

never playing TLOU II because they made ellie into a dyke and made you play as a tranny Crew

You're also most likely a member of the "never touched a woman before" crew.

Boyo the whole chitshow started because of farmers growing crops infected with the Cordyceps.

Also good luck running a farm on even a remotely similar scale to what we have now when it’s a free for all with millions of rabid mushroom zombies running around, you have to scavenge for fuel, parts for machinery, irrigation and whatnot or you’re SoL also say goodbye to minor things like animal feed, fertilizer, pesticide and a fuking vet for Daisy and co.

Why did they make Joel Mexican?

Why do you think...

I like Pedro Pascal and he's a good casting choice, but this forced cosmopolitan casting in big budget shows is annoying. It was more obvious with his daughter.

I just started watching House of the Dragon and they go on and on about the half black kids being pure blooded Valyrian... like wtf are you talking about. They're literally mixed race. That doesn't make any sense. In the book it would've made sense since they were apparently just like the Targaryans and they had even whiter hair.

But yeah, forced diverse casting over making sense is the current standard.

[BearyManilowe]

The "strong black female resistance leader" is literally the same character that voiced Marlene (who was black) in the game.

Some of you guys need to step out of the bubble for a minute.

Ok so remove that part. I didn't play the game. I looked up his daughter and she wasn't half black in the game. And probably other characters.

That one character being black doesn't invalidate the rest of what I said. The "pure blooded Valyrians" who are mulatto, rofl.

We can't even have shows about Vikings or German Barbarians without prominent black (female) characters anymore.

[Tanerian]

BREAKING
Angry Joe review dropped, they all love it. However they suspect the story will change slightly for season 2 to make Joel the obvious bad guy. I.e. they will omit the part where Joel finds out what happened to the other potential vaccine candidates (killed and no vaccine was ever found), the whole point of saving Ellie from the surgeons in the game. They might remove that detail completely so when Joel is killed off everyone is glad. Neil Cuckman stuff.
There's no way in hell Cuckman will change the story so Joel lives. That would mean admitting he fked up with the story writing

There were no other potential vaccine candidates. Ellie is the only one who was ever immune.

Everyone talking otherwise is basing it off an old misconception that has been debated to death back when the game was fresh.


It's completely false.

What people are referring to is the Surgeon's Recorder, a TLOU1 collectible found in St. Mary's Hospital. What it ACTUALLY says is that the Fireflies had experimented on infected people, not immune ones. They specifically note that Ellie's immunity is unlike anything they've seen before.

"April 28th. Marlene was right. The girl's infection is like nothing I've ever seen. The cause of her immunity is uncertain. As we've seen in all past cases, the antigenic titers of the patient's Cordyceps remain high in both the serum and the cerebrospinal fluid. Blood cultures taken from the patient rapidly grow Cordyceps in fungal-media in the lab... however white blood cell lines, including percentages and absolute-counts, are completely normal. There is no elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and an MRI of the brain shows no evidence of fungal-growth in the limbic regions, which would normally accompany the prodrome of aggression in infected patients."

This first part is explaining how Ellie is unique and different from the other infected they'd studied.

"We must find a way to replicate this state under laboratory conditions. We're about to hit a milestone in human history equal to the discovery of penicillin. After years of wandering in circles, we're about to come home, make a difference, and bring the human race back into control of its own destiny. All of our sacrifices and the hundreds of men and women who've bled for this cause, or worse, will not be in vain."

This second part is reiterating how important Ellie's immunity is and what they could do with it.

The whole point of saving Ellie from the surgeons in game, is that there is absolutely the potential that the vaccine could have been made from Ellies death, and Joel said "nah fuk that" and murder sprees then lies to her about it.

Dang just ruin the whole story boyo

This thread is labeled as Spoiler discussions boyo!


I really really hope this show delves into just how fuking awful these "zombies" have it. It's one of the most horrific versions of a zombie. The opening scene explains it a little bit, but it hits harder when you are shown it.
These people aren't undead. They are conscious, they can think, they have all of their senses. They simply cannot control their own bodies, and are likely hallucinating too. The fungus is slowly eating away at their flesh. They can FEEL IT. They are in agony, physically and mentally.


Can you imagine being fully cognizant, but unable to stop yourself from slamming one of your loved ones onto the ground, ripping into their flesh with your teeth, and SWALLOWING THEIR FLESH? Fully able to taste it, feel it, understand whats happening, hear them screaming, etc?

There's a couple spots in the game where you can listen to the zombies as they attack someone. They are literally crying in between bites and say **** like "I DON'T WANNA!".

It's nightmare fuel.

Cool. Now a goupr of survivors armed to the teeth come, murder you and take all your chit, then move on, because they don't know how to farm or do any of that **** and are just trying to survive with zero fuks given.


90% of Americans would be absolutely clueless and die if they were forced to live some Amish lifestyle overnight with no one teaching them wtf to do, and that's without murder hobos and zombies trying to get them.

Amazingly enough millions of people did just that settling the USA, Australia, South Africa, etc. Without modern technology and against nations of armed savages. Amazing how all that worked out.

[Coal Man]

Because they learned from generations of farmers before them. Life has changed boyo and for generations now, people don't have to do that to survive. They just need to earn currency through specialized fields. If we're plunged into a global apocalypse you would be stunned how clueless most people will be on subsistence farming. They will die/be killed long before there's time to learn.

OK let me ask you a question I want you to think long and hard about.


When you built your solar panels did you just magically know how to do it?

Or did you use resources like the internet or books to learn?

OK now realize the majority of human beings don't know how to do this stuff and won't be able to just look it up on YouTube. You won't be able to go to a library because there's infected people and bandits all over. There will be no way for you to aquire new knowledge to create electricity.

Oh did you build a giant solar farm from scratch? OK cool, now a group of bandits comes by and kills you for it. Oh wait lemme guess, youre ****in Rambo too and you can just kill them all np.

No, most of them were fleeing European cities and had zero survival skills. Read some history. Lots of famine and failure but they eventually figured it out.

[wickedman]

Watched - not bad. However, Joel appears to be a bit of a cuck now and won't be surprised if that trait becomes more apparent as time goes on.

[TitusVI]

Lost had a better first episode.

I think in PT two there is a whole group of people that have the immunity. Which pretty much takes away what made Ellie special in the first place.

[Sgt T-Man]

They filmed the show across the street from my work, so I got to see the MASSIVE set pieces every day. They built an entire god damn town for this show with paved roads, lights everything and it was all aged and overgrown it was cool to see that and all the cars on the street they used. Whole set was surrounded by blue screen. Huge production value for sure.

Since it's HBO and the cuck druckmann who made the games I expect we will see LOTS more liberal trans injected into the show mostly it will be colored characters and female at that.

8/10 so far but the acting has not sold me yet.

Unless you can point to something, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I've beaten TLOU2 several times and don't recall a single thing about other immune people being mentioned.

[Snootz]

Good first episode.. I don't buy Pedro as Joel (but at least he's a good actor).. idk about the ellie one.. never understood her hype from GOT.. thought she was cringe af

The series will live and die on if Joel/Ellie have good chemistry.. if they do that.. the first season will be good (if they follow the game)

The world itself is just another apoc/zombie show with a lick of new paint.. its been done before

We also have had 10-15 years of Walking Dead.. "the zombies aren't the real enemy, humans are" type ****

Which is why the franchise was killed the minute they massacred Joel.. and made Ellie and everyone else into unlikeable ****s

All roads lead to TLOU2 anyway.. i reckon they will make Joel look worse then he did in game.. when he saves Ellie at the end of TLOU.. so they can try make him out to be more evil/bad

[Tanerian]

My fear is the exact opposite. They already seem to be white washing Joel to make him seem like more of a "good" person. Hopefully it's a "First episode" situation, and they show how dark Joel can be.
