Clickers ,and bloater are scary I died a good amount of times against them or group.

Most definitely clickers, because they dont die one shot like the runners, shooting them would give away your location, but a huge horde of runners, and you're dead.

In real life, stalkers (game version), because, unlike every other stage, they seem to be able to actually think, and have no obvious weaknesses.

Definitely bloaters due to their hard body armour making it harder to kill them plus they can rip your whole head off.

Scared of ALL of them, but Bloaters are the worse so far!

Yeah bloater is final stage and then the host dies

I think the situation that created the Rat King could be something that happened more than once. Especially in larger cities. So I imagine that there are rat kings in bigger cities' hospitals, trapped in collapsed buildings, underground like in the show, or maybe even some cramped caves where hordes passed through.

@@noelvillasenor3671maybe a type that is like smarter than a stalker and uses Audio to lure the humans and attacks like a stalker and a fight like a clicker

The easiest way to defeat the Rat King is call the Ninja Turtles and have them file an injunction.

@@noelvillasenor3671 I mean it is cordyceps and that makes sense there could be like army of ants that want to eat you Or a bear with armor of a bloater but can’t hear

They definitely did!

Yessss, it's the clickers for me especially that fungus make them blind and their jaws messed up like that 😬😱🤢🤮🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🦠🍄

@@koragray4794 I agree... I get goosebumps looking at them. F&*kin gross 😖

@@adiaj9228 Ikr, and I feel sorry of almost the half of people in the show who got infected of the virus though

The way the girl flipped over in the back seat of the car wigged me the hell out

where are u watching it

HBO Max?

Yeah.... I didn't hear that one coming...tss

@@dc_kdart19 Sky Atlantic

Henry and Sam's death were tragic but necessary. Realistically they wouldve been shot by Kathleen if it werent for the temporary plot armor

The movements were haunting!

Yeah whoever’s child played that role was great creeped me out

We saw a stalker in episode 2 in the cellar

@@ayeskidman9269 wasn’t much of a stalker though lol it was trapped under debris

It was a stalker that give Tess the kiss of death inside the capitol building.

@@russelldeck4168 I think people are not realizing what I'm saying. We have seen Stalkers in the show, but they do not act like Stalkers in the game. Stalkers only hide, hence the name.

@@BlindedBrailleNow I understand what you mean thanks for explaining, Yes they don't seem to Stalk at all like they do in the game.

Yeah that’s right!

Thanks for the info ☺️

I don't believe so, I think they evolved from stalkers. A shambler has it's face near intact. If it was just a version of bloater, it wouldn't have such an intact face. Stalkers are the last stage of infected with a more intact looking face, whereas when clickers come about, their faces have been split open and split apart by the fungus, and as such so are the bloaters. That said, it's kinda unknown where shamblers come from, I think they're just another infected. It was theorized about the wet areas, but we see them in super dry climates as well (santa barbara).

@@zerodawn0994 I agree. In one of the notes you can find, the author details the shambler as “something [that] made it halfway to a bloater and took a turn”. I think it definitely evolves after a stalker through very specific physical/environmental conditions.

The part where the stalkers chased you in the forest was nightmare

They tend to stick together when attacking so they can stick together when they attack so they can attack together while sticking in a group together to attack as a group Does that explain it better?

I don't think that would work, there are many ways to identify humans besides basic outline

bombed to kingdom come is a understatement. one of the buildings in last of us part 2 has a hole straight through the middle of it

​@@levirauch4904Have to wonder how that happened. Bombs aren't usually that precise. And any sane government would have started using nukes when it got to this point

Bio mass

The mouth is so small that it’s useless, and even if it tried to bite someone it would break its fungal plating on the head severely weakening it

The body can be used as a breading ground for the fungus to release spores

​@@JaydenTrafford but there are no spores in the show

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Watch some interviews with the developers of the original game, from 10 years ago. The developers don't call them zombies.

Yeah it was great to see them all on screen!

Yeah it was incredible wasn’t it!

Was it literally the best episode, or was it just the best episode?

@@jakeg3733 literally 😉

@@moneymakerhbd4710 Well I'm glad we've clarified this. I shall write it into the literature (in Latin of course) to commemorate this momentous event in television history for all time

The fungus network will share the water and nutrition among the infected and we know from first episode that the fungi won't let the hosts die or decompose from within according to the interview opener, even that hasn't explained the fungus network back then. The one from Museum (Episode 2) hasn't able to sustain and survive probably for few years indeed, because it's inside a building and eventually died out. The ones that burrowed underground can live forever as long there are rain pouring down there. I am more interested how FEDRA in Kansas City manage to lure most of the infected beneath the ground and seal up the entrances. They would have continued to do so if it wasn't for the revolution of the civilians and they too are concerned about this, but the leader of the revolution has to be so hellbent on revenge while her brother is all about forgiveness. Does that last part seems familiar to you? The second game's moral of the story of Hate and Forgiveness. The first game about Love and Indifference.

@@Frostwolf_103 I believe the fungi replaces cells of the host with its own fungal cells and flesh until there's almost no meat left

Totally agree!

Yes I heard that the fungus forces changes into the body from a different normal way focusing more on making the infection stronger instead.

Breeding ground

Everything isn't perfect For example, in the human there are parts that is a downside to the body but it is still there I can see the same thing happening to the bloater, especially when the body is messed up

Definitely! It will be pretty epic when it does appear!

Yeah they've made the infected look so good!

A shambler is a bloater but just from a moist/wet enviorment

Bro, would you stop doing spoilers ?

Get over it already. Main characters die all the time.

@@Reupload-Kanal-Von-Lukas-Heil shows based on the game There’s already spoilers lmfao

@@Reupload-Kanal-Von-Lukas-Heil Right???

probably by the clicker stage bc then the shrooms are physically displacing all the brains

i agree completely. its not like were playing the games, so its easier to loose fear of them

Cry 😢

They are part of the game lol they are encountered all the time that or the hunters 🤣🤣 I like seeing them makes it more intense

Noooooooo - are you at Clicker stage or are you a Bloater?

You and me both!

Yeah they're pretty horrific!

It was such a sad arc wasn't it!

Rat king is not even a stage. It's a special specie of fungus infection. Shambler is almost similar to Bloater. The same stage, but have some extra mutations.

Definitely!

I’ve always thought to myself how disgusting the areas brimming with spores must smell. Like Ellie I get that you’re immune but are you sure you don’t want to wear a mask to at least protect your nose???

Ikr just imagine if this shit was to come to life dam ik I ain’t abt the die the hell😂😂😂

Nope. Zombies don’t grow,

The fungus hijacks the entire body and repurposed everything. So the functions that makes the body grow and age are rewritten to strengthen the host to be more efficient to spread the fungus. So that kid would not grow physically but I wouldn't say it'd become as big as a Bloater over time, but would be a hard solid target if it's speed & flexibility erodes

Both versions tend to happen. The larger the groups the more often friendly fire happens because they tend to attack whatever they can partially see or echo-locate but they will also attack whatever else is in the area because the fungus's mission is to spread to whatever it can no matter the target.

@@newelljoseph5060 I would think, in a crowded situation, this indiscriminate targeting would increase chances of escape for individuals on the edges of the swarm. If you're somewhere in the middle, you're toast. I'm wondering if the use of echo location would trigger diminished response from other infected and could this be used as a shield, by generating the same sound in some manner?

@@lucusrose That has been used to handle a few at a time cause it'll cause confusion in smaller numbers. It's just more difficult it larger and more crowded areas

TLOU2 was a masterpiece one of the best games ever made cry more🤣

Still dreaming every f***ing day about unaliving abby. Every day.

Yeah very true - underrated movie!
