HBO's The Last of Us Season 1 has just wrapped up, and of course, Druckmann screwed everything up. I guarantee the "normies" or casual gamers will think it's a great adaptation just because the show recreated some scenes nearly 1-to-1. As always, the Devil is in the details.

    Biggest Problem: In the Last Of Us game Joel went through absolute "HELL" from the player's point of view to save Ellie in the end. It was by far the hardest part of the game because the humans were heavily armed. The last sequence deserved an episode of it's own episode as a final battle showdown. In the show Joel totally tears through all of the Fireflies with absolutely no resistance. It fails to capture how hard that part of the game was and how hard it is for one man to wipe out that many other men. Maybe I should make a video on this...

    It baffles me that they chose to bring in Druckman to work on the show instead of Straley. Keep in mind, Druckman’s original story pitch was a revenge story but Straley tossed it out and it was Straley who created the father-daughter relationship with Joel and Ellie
  • The female leader pissed me off too. The whole antifa group in the show felt like an lgbt apocalyptic group with guns that you were somehow supposed to be scared of.
  • They made the fireflies look a lot nicer in this show in order to justify the second season
  • This show proves video games can capture some things that live action can't.
  • @mickpratt8327
    The saddest part of this whole season was the fact that the story felt extremely rushed despite having 2 out of 9 episodes being filler material.

    Made me think: If humanity no longer values the individual, then why should the individual continue to value humanity?
  • @RogueFox7050
    The biggest problem in this show besides the changes to the storyline is Joel and Ellie themselves, compared to the versions from the game they don’t come across as forming a surrogate relationship at all while Joel himself is way too soft for a man surviving the apocalypse.
  • @miller42
    Did Druckmann ever explain how anal sex is supposed to help them survive the apocalypse?
  • dont get why people have a problem with the idea of Joel "dooming humanity" cuz thats why i like him so much. The idea that he is willing to throw away any chance of a cure and future for humanity because he cant stomach the idea of losing another daughter is so compelling to me. its such a selfish yet understandable act and i think the alternative that the cure probably wont work so joel is just doing the logical thing is so boring in comparison because the logical will always be less interesting than the illogical.
  • "You're never gonna see an evil rabbi, I promise you that." I died. X-D

    I've noticed people saying the phrase 'what does woke even mean?' a lot lately especially in regards to this show and it worries me because that means people are starting to accept that this is how things should be.
  • I feel like a crazy person because everyone loves this show and it's just so sterile and empty to me
  • It's not all that subtle. Anti-Christian, anti-White, Marxist, gender ideology, feminism, they hit all the intersectional points in nearly every episode.

    After Drinker's review I felt the need for an actual review that brings up "ThE mEsSaGe"
  • @ExtremeMan10
    I was disappointed how they didnt show the gym fight with Bloater. It was one of the scariest thing where many players (myself included) died and they could have easily make heavy action pack episode out of where Joel would fight with Bloater. Instead we got Brokeback mountain: Old man edition.

    Bruh they made Maria Zimbabwean? 😂 Notice how they didnt change the ethnicity of white bad guys
  • Something I noticed in the side-by-side of Joel telling Ellie she's going with Tommy. In the game, Joel reacts as an emotional man of his character would: he yells. Show Joel doesn't yell and barely raises his voice. I'm wondering if the showrunners were concerned that a yelling man was too 'upsetting' for modern audiences.
