'The Last of Us' - Season 1 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | January 15, 2023

Ellie: "There's not going to be anything bad in here?"
Joel: "Just you."

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I found the “bomb everything” comment a bit…over the top.

Like, OK we just found out about this shyt can we explore other options first? Can we confer with other infectious disease experts in other countries? I get they wanted to emphasize the seriousness but it just came off as way over the top and unrealistic.

But she was right


Within 2 DAYS of her making that statement, 14 people cause the entire Earth to fall to the fungus... There wasn't anything they could do in the 1960s during Batiatus speech.. Even the other doc just put his head down.. 40 years later they still have nothing.. Hell it's 2023, WE don't even have anything that can really fukk with fungal infections. We can't even cure athlete's foot


I'm not even sure bombing would work, as they went over that with Joel.. They tried to bomb cities and sometimes it slowed it, sometimes it didn't, but as we can see... even that doesn't work

Fukk, I forgot it happened that quick..

First few episodes were slow as fukk to me.

When does the action pick up?

The show is fire but it's not for everyone. Allah peep the show 'Bosch' on Amazon. It's 'Training Day' Light


-gonna start TLOU tonight

 

[duck]

Name some shows you'd recommend on Amazon. Been sleeping on them

The boys

Imo, best show on there. Pure fukkery

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Tess was starting to become under it's influence so it was harder for her to fight back anyway

I don’t even think it’s that deep, i think she just knew it was over and there wasn’t any reason to fight back and possibly not be able to light the fuse.

 

[levitate]

I wonder who got the rights to Ghosts of Tsushima.

 

[Ribbs]

honest question for the non-gamers - are you blown away so far, or does this just feel like derivative stuff? i'm in the middle.

I'm enjoying it so far The tension is very high and the clicker design is really cool, glad it was practical effects. I like the pre-pandemic scenes, they really build on how much was at stake if they couldn't contain it which spoiler, they didn't.

I think you can only find it derivative if you watched every Apocalyptic show around the time of TWD then you may see some similar beats even if it's based off of a video game.

14 turns into 28 if even one person infects another. 28-56-112-224-448 etc give that a few hours and a city could be cooked

 

[Mazino]

Reading the reviews prior it was like they were all singing from the same hymn sheet and that the reviews were over exaggerating but nah this show really is the next crack, they are killing it performance wise and visually too

 

[Vandelay]

Look how we as a society handled covid. People are selfish and narcissistic. It's not surprising that shyt happened seeing similar stuff play out in real life

I feel like the show was saying Covid was a warning shot, fukk around if you want when some real shyt comes and things could end up like this.

 

[CJ]

The set designs, even if heavily CGI'd are just
The flooded hotel had me like

That’s the same thing the scientist said in the 60s during the cold open, that there’s no cure for it at all.

 

[the elastic]

Gawbage ass take
Probably a xbot saying this

Nah, I've owned every Sony system. I'll probably watch a playthrough or something, but I don't have the patience to play these types of games like I used to.
