The beginning of the Last of Us is easily the best beginning to a game I've ever experienced. I felt the raw emotion of what happened after the car crash, it still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it now. amazing game.

I agree with you the tv show doesnt have to be an exact retelling of the video game story to be great. However if you’re going to make unnecessary changes to an adaptation you have to justify why this makes the writing better. In that sense all the points that Synthetic Man made in the show were spot on. The video game did the story better than the show yet he still gave the tv show a 7/10 thats a good score. I dont see how pointing out the differences and saying they dont improve the original’s story so whats the point of this show existing is a wrong question to ask. So when people say the tv show is overrated i tend to agree because even tho a few episodes felt like 9/10 most of the episodes hovered around anywere from a 4-6 out of 10 so if i was giving a score i’d say a 6.4/10 would be what i’d give the show personally episode 1 and 8 being my favorites

Even if he was the one who wrote the HBO show, Bruce helped him make the original story and they wouldn’t have the show without the game.

Like Sam for example, what was achieved out of making him deaf? Sympathy? As if we couldn’t already sympathize with his already terrible situation in the game? He just ended up getting less speaking lines.

The Last of Us-ification of games for me is a valid criticism (at least for Sony games). Whenever a video game makes waves it immediately gets cloned to death to the point that it gets ruined for everyone. e.g. Doom Clones, the brown action military FPS era, the indie walking sim era, and now every Sony game needing to be a reskin of The Last of Us (like the new God of War had the Last of Us camera which I'm still not over) A huge version of this for TV and movies is Guardians of the Galaxy. After that first movie dropped suddenly EVERY single piece of Disney slop needs to have quirky characters dropping jokes and one liners and scenes can never be anything but funny anymore.

*TL;DR:* The bedroom confrontation scene in the game seems more impactful bc it's the emotional peak of game Joel's more angry personality. But HBO Joel is more naturally paternal, so his emotional peak is his conversation with Tommy where he breaks down bc he's scared he'll fail Ellie- so the bedroom confrontation may not seem as emotional bc Joel is instead bringing up his walls again after just being vulnerable. The iconic bedroom confrontation seems to be difficult for gamers to follow emotionally if they're too used to the characterization of Joel in the game, but it works perfectly fine for non-gamers who are used to HBO Joel's PTSD and Ellie's feelings of isolation. Joel here enters the scene after just having an emotional breakdown in front of Tommy, so he enters the bedroom with his walls down and ready to be honest to Ellie that he's leaving. He's also not angry at Ellie here, unlike the game, bc she didn't run away on horseback to make him chase her for gameplay's sake. Lastly, he doesn't have his walls up still like game Joel does and already told Ellie earlier in that episode that he feels responsible for her. They actually added and changed some of the dialogue to fit the different tone of the situation here, like Ellie saying "I stood up for you today bc I thought..." and Joel full-on saying "Of course I do" when Ellie asks if he gives a shit about her, which is not at all something game Joel would be characterized to say at that moment. Over the course of the show, Joel hasn't been pushing away Ellie as game Joel has bc HBO Joel is more naturally paternal and opened up to Ellie much faster. So the reason Joel is less emotional than in the game is bc, rather than getting angry, he's just icing her out by acting colder. Ellie mentioning Sarah makes him build up his walls again bc it's making him feel guilty abt how he failed Sarah, which is exactly the emotional conversation he had with Tommy. So this is the first time in the show that Joel is purposely trying to push her away, the exact opposite of game Joel.

The Last Of Us TV show is a good adaptation. However it's not perfect like the game. I remember the first time I played The Last Of Us and it impacted me to such an extent that I regard it as one of the greatest not only games but pieces of media every created. However with the TV show which I watched with my parents and my brother (who's around the same age as me but never played the game) watched the show and the reaction was, "Yeah it was good." They didn't have the same reaction that I had with the game instead of being awed and inspired by absolute perfection the reaction was, yeah it was alright. The Last of Us is a good adaptation but it struggles to be either a perfect adaptation or a perfect show.

@beccazach

Жыл бұрын

​@@pintolerance785 The game comes off as 'perfect' bc of the medium that it's in, bc it's unique in balancing a good story with good gameplay. It places you into the shoes of the character which makes you experience the story more intimately than you normally would thru a passive experience w/ a movie or show. But it isn't a unique story in any way, or something that hasn't been done better in any other form- as a book, movie, or even a tv show, it's pretty standard and not groundbreaking in the slightest, thus ppl who have only seen the tv show won't see it as some sort of masterpiece unless they really love Bella and Pedro's chemistry or the show's worldbuilding/side characters (which seems to be a lot of ppl based on how successful this show is with the general population + critics, esp with how viral Ep3 became due to being so unique). There is also plenty of ppl who've played the game and don't think TLOU1 is perfect, bc it's subjective, but can connect to the live-action more bc of the storytelling strengths that tv shows have to offer over a videogame that focuses more on gameplay. You're doing the TV show a disservice if you think it's trying to break new ground or that it'll be the same experience as playing a video game. It's just meant to adapt the game's story into a new medium to reach a bigger audience that will never pick up a controller or ppl who don't know that video games can tell complex stories. The upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn and GoW adaptions will also not be the same 'masterpieces' or as immersive as the games bc they quite literally can't be, due to the change in format- but they can still excel in their storytelling and characters, which is all that's needed for a good show. You have hindsight and the ability to compare your experience between TLOU1 and the show, which won't be the same as ppl who are experiencing the story for the first time thru the show alone. The fact that it's improving some areas of the plot, worldbuilding, and the characters, as well as providing an immersive story, is the most it can do. But it's undoubtedly the best live-action game-adaption to date.

@pintolerance785

@@beccazach So in simpler terms you're saying that it can't be a perfect television show because the story its adapting isn't amazing/unique and the only thing that made the original last of us a masterpiece was just the blend between gameplay and story. Also just for the sake of elaboration can you give me some examples of stories that have been done that are the same as the last of us but done better? The Road comes to mind a story about a father and son traveling across an apocalyptic world in search of shelter but never find it, but that's not a good example because the question of sacrificing the one you love most for the many i.e the trolley problem doesn't ever come up in the road. So tell me what stories have done the un-unique story of The Last Of Us better then the last of us. Yes I agree that it is a great live action adaptation of a game however it still could have done some things better, it's not perfect. If I had the choice of say watching the last of us season 1 vs watching the walking dead season 1 I'd pick the walking dead every time. And both of those are adaptations.

@@pintolerance785 [longgg comment] Never said the original game isn't amazing as a story- it's just the relationship between a man that lost his kid and a lonely child that's not unique, but it's elevated by the storytelling medium and apocalypse situation it's in. The relationship that unfolds between Joel and Ellie in the game is a specific journey but can still be told in a different way than how the game showed it, because many of the story beats and relationship milestones they experience can be displayed in the show through smaller actions and not just fighting infected all the time (it works with the fact that there are fewer infected seen in the show, as HBO Joel doesn't need to be just saving her from hordes of infected to show his protectiveness, but from him not wanting her to use a gun to protect her innocence or him staying awake to keep watch while Ellie's sleeping, which isn't seen at all in the game). And the trolly problem never comes up until the very end of the game, where many people have said they don't find it to be a conflict in the first place bc no one would ever sacrifice someone they love for a slim chance of making a cure. I'm not sure what aspect of the show you're saying you have a problem with, just not being able to invest in the story or characters?? Bc that's not a fault of the show if a majority of new viewers are easily able to do that bc they can see the relationship coming from a mile away- it's like I said, you have a bias bc you're remembering how it played out in the game, and so any deviation in the show might throw you off and make you think it's not effective storytelling. Your family not thinking the story is unique can also happen if they had certain expectations if you told them abt it, but as a show, it doesn't come off as a relationship that they haven't seen before in other passive media. But there are plenty of other families who love this show and its characters. Obviously TLOU1 isn't completely the same as one specific story, but it's similar to many other ones that develop a relationship that is easy to root for and not very complex. The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, Logan, Stranger Things (Eleven and Hopper), and probably a lot more than I can't remember all follow that similar surrogate father-child relationship, but what makes them great is that they have the ability to do it well under different circumstances bc of the chemistry between the actors and the dialogue between them. You're saying you'd rather watch TWD s1 and that's your choice bc there might be aspects that you prefer in that over how TLOU HBO did its storytelling, but there are ppl who prefer the storytelling of TLOU. This show is purposely not trying to be an action movie, but a character drama, which has always been the emotional core of the series (apart from fighting the infected, which was just gameplay required for the medium). Unlike how the drama in TWD is abt humans dealing with the new threat of walkers and humanity falling apart because the apocalypse just started, TLOU is already 20 years into the outbreak + has a more positive message of focusing on what motivates humans to keep surviving in such a broken world, meanwhile the infected are just a looming threat in the background to explain why humanity has never fully recovered. If you're disappointed in the lack of action: as a show filled with fungus monsters, things could've gotten very over the top and unrealistic to new viewers if not handled correctly, which would undermine the whole emotional tone of the story. By making the humans in the show not have superhuman strength/abilities like the characters in the games, it makes the threat of the infected, and basic survival in general, more immersive. The creators also wanted the show to be different from the game by only highlighting the emotions behind violence + its repercussions and not the violence itself, such as always cutting away from a scene before a human gets killed. Walkers aren't as scary or dangerous as the infected, as TWD made walkers pop up in the middle of nowhere for random action scenes that quickly got stale and repetitive. The infected in the show are way too fast and strong to fight (as shown by how every encounter with them ends with someone dying) and having random infected isn't how TLOU HBO set up the rules for them in this series- they're only in the city, right outside the QZs, not in evacuated towns or isolated forests with no people, where Joel and Ellie purposely travel to avoid running into the infected. Desensitization to violence in a show or movie is important to avoid or else it loses its impact in the story; in a game that's not much of an issue since you're supposed to be fighting waves of infected/human enemies.

It got to the point where I genuinely hated being a Last Of Us fan like actually but I can't stop caring about the franchise, and discussing the franchise, and pondering over the franchise because like what else am I gonna do I've dedicated too much already to the last of us. What're we even arguing about I don't know anymore, I forgor. All those examples you gave about story's similar to the last of us came out after the last of us by the way. Also I didn't tell my family to expect anything from the show it was kinda like an experiment more then anything like I just wanted to see what their reaction would be and the reaction was that it was good, and I look online and the most sizable contingent opinion from people is that the last of us show is good.

Hot Take. I dont like race swapping and bad casting for characters that don't need to be put through either. The only people with good acting chops unironically were (in character) the Cannibal Priest, Joel, Tommy, and the gay lovers (Hank and Bill or whatever their names were). No other character left a genuine lasting impression on me and it's not because I hate them which I so obviously do. Im not a fan of people casting others that dont look or act remotely like their characters, nor do they act like their characters counterparts or fit it into the story well with cohesive storytelling or drama, it's just because they literally knew people or had connections and wanted to present the story in such a fashion for their own narrative. Bella Ramsey as an actress did not have what it takes to portray Ellie properly and you all can fight me over that. She was obnoxious, rebellious, a nuisance, and an unmitigated risk the entire season and at no point was there any real reason for Joel to genuinely give a rat fuck about her and the scenes where he just magically cares more for some reason beyond "muh reward", it becomes glaringly obvious that it was forced cohesion. I cant even testify that it was bad blood between the actors because they loved having each other around on set (Bella & Pedro) but the story/script and Bella's portrayal killed off any realistic or wholesome relationship dynamic between Ellie and Joel's characters because of how bad both the scrip and her acting was. What do I know though, I just sit in my basement's basement and eat molepeople all day.

I don't care about race swapping in media as long as it serves a purpose and isn't just some company checking off diversity boxes, I think that the race swapping in the last of us is fine. In a show like house of the dragon I think the race swapping is actually perfect and actually benefits the story because we can easily tell apart the targaryens from the valerians when it would be confusing just having 2 different major houses with their soul characteristic being white hair. On the opposite end of the spectrum there's Velma, which is just everything wrong with everything that's ever existed in the history of forever.

You want to see how the handle part 2 because the first game never had a sequel in mind which is why so many spacers of it felt forced and rushed where here with crag mazin they can expand on what that game tried to do by having the adaptation of part 1 feel more as if it’s building to something which in some areas I do feel that way but we’ll have to wait a few years to see if this is payed off

The exact reason you claimed you liked all the expanded character and world development are the problem I have with it. You claimed it expands on the world and shows other points of view because you can do this in tv but imo it is one of the main problems with the show because the relationship between Ellie and Joel isn’t there. It’s not as developed or earned because we don’t get enough time with them. Instead we spend an entire episode without them. Idc how good you think the episode is, it takes away from the main relationship that is very needed to make the ending feel earned and make sense. If they wanted to do all this extra stuff that doesn’t involve or have anything to do with Joel and Ellie then they should have had more episodes And I also don’t like the changes in characterization with Joel and Ellie. It does a disservice to them but that’s not to say both actors don’t portray what there are told to really well, it just doesn’t do the story any favors. I really don’t like the Joel beat dude to death in ptsd flashback, prefer the game version but they do this because of the change in Joel’s characterization

100%. Every time the momentum of Joel and Ellie's friendship starts, its immediately cut off by cutting to someone else's storyline for an extended period of time, leaving Ellie and Joel with so little time. Episode 3, as much as I loved it, should've keep the train going on building up Joel and Ellie as partners. But instead, we spent an hour with characters who will have no further impact on the series. A great episode but in the end, it was just good Emmy bait and a theme that I don't think was worth the time we lost with our main characters. Sam and Henry were great characters to expand on, but Kathleen turns into such a cartoonishly evil character, like someone out of Uncharted, not Last Of Us, that it makes me angry that they even wasted time on her. And don't even get me started on how much they de-clawed Tess and the show's chronic habit of Telling Not Showing. I also think Bella did a good job. Their Ellie is just a slightly more aggressive version, but nothing out of the realm of possibility of how Ellie acted in the game. Pedro as Joel on the other hand.... It didn't even feel like the same character. He was Joel 'In Name Only.' Instead of adapting game Joel to the screen he just played another Pedro Pascal Sad Dad™. The writing was servicing Pedro as an actor and not Joel as a character. I think Pedro was horribly miscasted for Joel. He doesn't have the tone to play Joel, he's soft hearted and you can see it in his face, the way he speaks, and the way he acts. The same way Game Bill and Show Bill are basically two different characters, I see Pedro Joel and Game Joel the same way.

Honestly I didn’t mine the race swaps. They had no difference in their character other than appearance. I dislike it when they use race to make me care more or feel bad. I like characters with good writing no matter the skin colour.

I played the game a ton growing up and wqs super excited to show my wife the show. I remmeber telling her that Grank ripped my heart out and i thought he was a terrible person then we watched the show and that episode absolutely broke me it was so good. No when I go back through the game rereading his note i feel more like he left to spare Bill andthe thought of this show recontextualizing a scene i had a solid opinion on for years just goes to show how amazing it really is.

I don't think this is the best adaptation yet. I think Arcane takes the cake on that. They changed the characters identities too much for me. Changes to story are one thing, but the identity is another. Joel is too naive, soft and grows to like Ellie too fast for no reason. They barely experience any hardship before starting to grow together. Ellie is too self sufficient from the start instead of being the naive teenager who thrives with just a little guidance. And, I'm not talking about her gun skill. I just feel like they wasted a bunch of time, changed the characters identities too much, and did a disservice to the game I have played so much. I wasn't looking for a 1 to 1 translation. I think the 3rd episode is brilliant. I just wanted the characters to feel like the characters and they didn't fulfill that. I think one of the biggest detriments to the show was the 1 to 1 dialogue. It felt stale and lifeless. I'll just let this one go, not watch anymore and enjoy the games.

I think Joel's character perfectly fits this adaptation more than the game Joel could. I mean they can't recreate the characters one to one from game to live action if they want actually good characters because games and shows work completely differently. The show's Joel plays to the strength of live action because you have less room for the suspension of disbelief and it's more believable for a man to be traumatized in this world and he suffers the physical effects of age. The game's Joel works for games because it's easier to suspend your disbelief on how a 56 year old can go guns blazin and murder 20 enemies in each area because it's a game and it's fun and you attach yourself to Joel rather than in the show where JOEL is physically separate and you can't control him. Idk about the Ellie stuff your talkin about cause I need a few examples but sure I'll agree with u here cause why not

@pintolerance785

Жыл бұрын

1. You can definitely 100% feel the difference in the dialogue between the show and the game, here's a few examples for our Kirby friend and others. When Joel and Ellie have the fight at Tommy's which is like the pen ultimate climax of Joel's frustration they are done in 2 different ways, first in the game, Ellie finds out about Joel wanting her to go with Tommy and she takes off on a horse, out of the settlement and into a house, so Joel sheet having to ride after her with Tommy and he put into a Ton of danger had his emotions running high and that's when he blows up at her, and I know that you need to distinguish between the game and the TV show because of different actors n such but take into account how Neil Druckman told the cast not to do any research into the game. Which in all honesty is one of the Dumbest things I've ever heard, it's a video game ADAPTATION wtf wouldn't you want help ADAPTING AN ADAPTATION. Anyways, my point is that it makes sense for Joel to have this big blowup. In the show they don't leave Jackson for the entire episode and in the event right before the big blowup Joel is sitting and crying to Tommy about how he's old and how much he loves Ellie and how he needs her to get to the fireflies which is like A. The development between the twos relationship in the show is like lightning speed. And B. This makes the scene afterwards where Joel blows up at Ellie just so weird because it's a 1 to 1 translation from the game but it honestly seems like Joel suffers from some sort of bipolar disorder because he flips on a dime just from walking down the street. . Another scene is the scene at the very end, there are so many details in the game which I have no idea why they aren't expunged upon in the TV show such as Joel touching Sarah's watch when he's talking about finding something to fight for and also. (And I'm taking about the og game not the remake with Benjamin button Ellie) the way how Ellies face just ever so slightly changes, how you can tell EVERYTHING SHE IS THINKING just from the look on her face and the twitch of her eyes. (Which isn't done in the remake because some dummy who's name starts with Neil decided that, "Hey you know how to Mahe people look more realistic, give them wrinkles." EVEN THOUGH A 14-16- WHATEVER ELLIE IS DOESN'T HAVE WRINKLES!) Meanwhile though in the show Bella Ramsey and through no fault of her own, I blame the director. Just has the EXACT SAME STONE FACE She's had throughout the whole episode. 2. Another scene that they changed to a idiotic amount is in the episode where Joel and Ellie go to the college, a place where in the game there are some infected you fight, some bandits you fight, you know because its a college... in a city. Denver Colorado isn't exactly known for its low population count. There are 0 infected, and there are 4 bandits at the end, and those bandits don't have guns because duhhh obviously pfff guns what are those? Lmao! Guns IN AMERICA WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY! They have BATS, CHAINS, AND TIRE IRONS! WHY WOULD DAVID SEND OUT HIS GUYS ON A SUPPLY RUN LOOKING LIKE THEYRE COMING OUT OF THE WARRIORS! This entire scene is almost like a joke when you compare it to the game and I already know what people are going to say, "durr but you can't have it be like da game where Joel kills twenty people durr." I'm not saying that, what I'm saying is look at how awkward the scene is in the show, there is 0 build up, 0 tension, 0 action. It just felt like the writers said, "We need Joel to get injured in someway that isn't like the game." And they just reverse engineered the whole scene. And then in the game when Joel goes unconscious and falls off the horse, we get to hear Ellie scream Joel's name and then he hits the ground and Cut to black. Why didn't they do that same thing for the show! I guarantee that would have carried more weight to it then the CHEESY, CORNY, CAMPY! Scene we get in the show where Joel falls off the horse and we see Bella Ramsey, "I don't know what to do. You've gotta tell me what to do. Joel-:(" Disgusting sad song begins to play that's like the music in Stranger Things, "THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU CRY!" I'm surprised that they don't just flash the words CRY! CRY! CRY! On the screen. My 3rd biggest problem they used CGI in the show when they had practical effects that were already so much better, in episode 5 I think there's a part with a little girl Clicker. ORIGINALLY they had planned for an actual child to play as her. And guess what, THEY DID IT! They actually filmed scenes with this little girl who's an acrobat contortionist who had to sit in a makeup chair for like 12 hours a day or something and they filmed it, it looked perfect and then you know what happened... they removed her in post and replaced her with cgi that looks like TRASH! The part where she jumps on the bad lady is so AWFUL! Straight up looks like ps2 graphics and effects completely lacking all gravity, all bones, just fully liquid garbage. And they did the same thing, in the same episode with the Bloater, originally they had a big guy in a practical suit doing all the work and guess what, they did the same thing removed him in post and replaced with a cgi monster. Oh also the infected in that scene, the exact same thing. Your not even watching a show at that point its literally just like a video game cutscene or the amazing world of Gumball where the background is real but everything else is a cartoon. Also no infected. The infected are shown off in Episode 1-2 and Episode 5, and in every other episode it's either 1 infected or 0 infected. And in a show that's all about curing the zombie apocalypse it's a pretty bold choice to uhh not have zombies in 70% of it. And there are a few things funny about that, 1. It is told to us in the show that the infected congregate in the cities and that's why we don't see them. Now here's where that logic completely begins to fall apart. If in the beginning of the apocalypse the hot spots were cities then that would lead you to believe that the food sources inside of cities would have depleted in the course of TWENTY YEARS and it has become common knowledge that cities are hot spots so there shouldn't be anybody going into cities, so WHY ARE ZOMBIES IN THE CITIES! It makes sense for there to be MORE infected in cities but ALL! That makes no sense. But it makes for a good excuse why zombies don't show up in the episodes where they are walking around in the woods n such but even in the final episode in this giant city, no zombies. I just cannot wrap my head around the logic. Either A. All of the zombies have died off over 20 years making the need for a cure useless. B. All of the zombies stay underground once again making the cure useless, just don't go underground. C. All of the zombies stay in cities so ONCE AGAIN just don't go into cities and your fine. Anyways what was I talking about I don't remember?
