Agreed! 🎉
Fun fact someone else probably pointed out: In the first episode, the main characters constantly avoid eating the infected yeast. They don't have batter for pancakes, Joel says he's on keto, and Joel forgets to pick up a birthday cake
The big infected monster in episode 5 exists because the fugus grows over time and covers up more and more of the host's body so it gets bigger and more strong. Idk if i exsplaned it the best but i hope it helped 😅
And for the bloater, you need a bit of game lore, but the bloater is an older clicker. As the zombie gets older more and more cordyceps grows on them until it grows into an almost bulletproof armour.

Man the opening scenes from episode 1 and 2 were awesome. Wish they kept doing them for the rest of the series too.
Hey Howesenberg ! idk if anyone else mentioned this but at 26:00 when you mention how its no longer "him" inside, the creators said that in the early stages (when he attacked ellie) he would be conscious of when was happening but unable to do anything, his personality still inside. meaning that his fear was correct :(
Fun fact, the actor that played Joel in the game also plays a character in ep 8, he plays the preachers right hand guy, aka the guy that gets hatcheted by Ellie

I just wanna point out that the big mushroom monster zombie, called Bloaters, are the 4th stage of an infected in The Last Of Us universe, ur right that the mooshroom takes over the humans body, but it does so in stages, Runners, being similar to normal zombies, Clickers, wich are the ones from ep2, and Bloaters being infected who have lived for 10+ years, the mooshroom slowly growing onto it takes over all of it's body

17:49 completely agree. this is one of the best stories i’ve seen portrayed in one episode of tv in a long time, the only thing i think they could have done better is waited a little later in the season to pull the trigger on this amazing and emotional episode. dunno if it was because they were so excited to put their best work out there, or just that it couldn’t be arranged to come later and still make sense story wise. either way awesome ep and awesome video!

I Genuinely thought that it was my mouse cursor on the screen and then had a good laugh when i realized it wasnt. Good video though, thanks for the recap! It was brilliant.
Watching this made me realize that TV Joel is a lot weirder than Game Joel due to the fact that he takes Ellie as his daughter more quickly. (I think it feels that way due to less screen time with the series.) But also on the last episode we see how Ellie feels after he talks about his daughter and how she reacts uncomfortably

I love your TWD reviews. You have a great sense of humor that others lack. I was happy to see you cover TLOU. I haven't played the game either, but the show is amazing. You can tell it is on HBO from the start. The look, the sounds, just first rate.
25:19 the lore is that if a person is strong and tall before they die, and they can survive past the Clicker Phase, the cordyceps cover the whole body, and makes them stronger by having basically rock skin after

Also, the "gym zombie" as you called it is more than capable of existing in the Tlou universe, as the fungus changes and alters the body of an infected the longer they live also depending on how compatible the host is to what the fungus needs, which is why some only last a month while others last for years on end.
Great video

My only major issue with the show is the lack of infected. Besides the clicker fight, and the last scene in Kansas, they really arnt around. Even just seeing them in the background, or a bit of show, dont tell with how they were dealt with it would have gone a long way.

@@HowesenbergI also wonder if there was budget concerns? The effects for the infected looks BEYOND amazing for a television production, even by HBO standards. They might have just chosen to use the budget on making a smaller selection of VERY effective scenes as opposed to more appearances with slightly less money to spread around. But hey, with how beyond popular S1 was, hopefully S2 will be given an even bigger budget to do some even cooler scenes.
25:07 that zombie is a variant called a "Bloater" which is a zombie that develops over 2 decades of infection, becoming stronger and more dangerous. Just like in the show, they can be an absolute beast in the video game and can kill you instantly.

The scene when Perry runs out of ammo and you just hear the dry clicks, and he just has to accept the inevitable hit me hard.
Idk if someone’s already explained this but in the game the cordyceps infection has different stages as the infection progresses through time, so after being infected you quickly become a runner which is the most common infected type, after a year it progresses to the clicker stage which are blind and rely on echo location, I’ve never played the second game but they added a stalker type which stalks the player, and if you’re infected for a really long time you become a bloater like you see in episode 5 It makes the gameplay more dynamic and adds variety to the infected types which is fairly well explained 😊

39:11 also the guy who was with the preacher was the voice of Joel In The game. And the guy who’s head gets ripped off by the giant zombie (called a “bloater”) is the one who voiced Tommy in the Videogame
Could you do every episode of Marvels the Punisher?
something the show doesn't quite explain is that the cordyceps has stages, there's the first stage, which is the runner which is basically any fast generic zombie, the second stage which is the stalker basically just a stealthy zombie that sneaks around to jump non infected people, stage 3 the clicker, this stage they go blind and hunt through echo location and sound and they have very good hearing at this point and are quite strong, stage 4 which is the big chunky fuck is the bloater, at this stage they are blind and the cordyceps has formed a hard exterior armor around the infected and this for a while is the last stage any infected will reach however there is one which is the rat king which is essentially a giant formation of infected into one super strong nigh unstoppable infected, the cordyceps in both the game and the show is super adaptable and doesn't really alter the user however it IS in control so it doesn't need to limit itself like our brain forces us, like we cant exceed a threshold because our brain doesn't let us the cordyceps said fuck that cringe shit ima DESTROY those muscles, as for the armor hard to say really I guess after a certain point it becomes a far harder material over time, so its never actually altering the person its just that cordyceps is just built different, the stages get stronger as the cordyceps gains more and more control over the infected.
