THE LAST OF US (Ophiocordyceps Outbreak, Infected, Factions + Ending) EXPLAINED

Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’ll be diving into the HBO adaptation of the Last of Us by Craig Mazin (the creator of the Chernobyl miniseries) and Neil Druckmann (co-president of Naughty Dog, known for his work on Uncharted and The Last of Us.
It’s safe to say that video game adaptations rarely work. Most productions are doomed from the get go, with companies merely wanting to exploit an IP and the fanbase to turn over some quick cash.
Then you have the issue of transposing a gaming experience where the viewer is an active participant in the world and story, to one where they are a passive viewer.
Then there’s problems with cramming 20 hours of gaming content, DLC’s, easter eggs, character motivations and objectives, conflict, and complex storytelling elements into a movie with a run time of 90 minutes.
Spread across 9 episodes, Season 1 of the Last of Us avoids many of these pitfalls in a mostly faithful adaptation. Like the game, we follow Joel and Ellie in a harrowing journey across the post-apocalyptic wasteland, trying to find the proverbial and symbolic light at the end of the tunnel.
Traveling across abandoned cities that were destroyed 20 years ago due to a global cordyceps outbreak, the two learn about each other, the new world setting they must traverse, its many factions and organisations vying for power, the cordyceps infection, the infected, in addition to there being hope for a cure.
In this video, we’re going to breakdown all these elements and more.

But then there’s the college campus dorms, the saw mill, and the underpass leading up to the Salt Lake City hospital. I may have forgotten a few but for anyone who hasn’t played the game just know there was no shortage of infected encounters.

I always had an issue with how they were just going to kill their only immune subject without taking the actual time to run more tests. Cuz what if the one thing they were gonna do, didn’t work what so ever? Can’t do anything else unless you somehow come across another immune person now 😂

@furiousgamerxz5141 Жыл бұрын

(SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SHOW) I'm pretty sure Marlene knows exactly why Ellie is immune and probably would be willing to try and recreate it by forcing women to get pregnant and than bit as they are giving birth if she wasn't able to get anything from Ellie.

@diegochavez7203 Жыл бұрын

That's the point. While Joel may have ruined all chances of there being a cure, that's the thing. It was just a chance. There was no guarantee a vaccine could be made. The second game flashback shows Marlene being pissed at the surgeon because that's what he told her, that it was a chance, not a guarantee. She cared for Ellie and didn't want her to die for just a "chance," but her sense of duty won her over to let it happen. Joel couldn't do that.

@jasonreyna7615 Жыл бұрын

With the fungus growing in the brain it would have most likely killed her regardless, but because it was just a chance one can see why Joel did what he did...you kill her thinking her brain was the key to a cure when it wasn't. The person would most likely have to be born the same way ellie was

@Josh-py9rq Жыл бұрын

In the game at the hospital you find letters showing that they had found other immune kids and they ended up dying and still no cure was found. Now if the fireflies could have experimented on ellies blood without killing her I would have been all for it same with joel 😂 but killing ellie just felt soo extreme and humanity as we see is still continuing to survive in pockets out in the world. So I do think Joel made the best decision he could here it did seem like the fireflies were rushing things without thinking it through.

Honestly I think it was better for Joel to have just saved Ellie. Not only were they just going to kill her without giving her an option, but they were doing it to just test a theory. They didn't even know if it would work, and if it didn't they would've lost their only immune person. They were shortsighted and foolish, it was better for them to just die so Ellie could live and hopefully end up in the hands of more capable and empathetic people.

Absolutely loved the game, and the show was awesome. And I get the whole “minimizing infected to focus on the human etc etc” HOWEVER I would say if they kept a few more of the big infected battle set pieces from the game (especially the tunnel scene right before the finale) I think it would’ve better highlighted the difficulty of the journey that the game portrayed and made the dramatic & brutal Joel scene at the end hit harder. As it was filmed, the last episode felt abrupt. I enjoyed it throughly, but would love to know if anyway had the same thought on the finale.

Some creatures can survive in boiling water near deep sea hydrothermal vents or hot water springs for example. Others can endure a lack of water for years. There are trees that produce seeds which can survive forest fires and germinate afterwards. Research on the ISS has demonstrated that some micro organisms can survive exposure to the vacuum of Space. There are even organisms that thrive in highly radioactive environments like Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Try and Google Deinococcus radiodurans. There are lots of extremophiles on this planet.

But clickers and bloaters massacring viable host targets doesn't fit the "infected are vessels for spreading" that the fungus originates from. is it just a case that once at the clicker stage the infection spreading process is seen as "effective" and the zombies switch to elimination of threats to the virus instead of reproduction?

The second came in for a lot of stick because of a certain part of it's narrative, but if you can see past that, it's even bigger, with longer story and looks absolutely amazing on both PS4 and 5. It also has a lot of replay potential.

I actually enjoyed this season. I was very sceptical going in, but the changes they made from the game really felt organic. Although i could have been with Ellies episode. That felt too much of a pace-changer. But no spoiler for the next season? I won't but i also don't wanna see it. Because as much as i loved the first game, i have never hated a game as i hated the second one. Only if they completely re-write the story i'll watch it 🤷🏽‍♂️ But it was fun to see scenes from the game, on the show. So i'll say thanks for that, at least 🙏🏽👍🏽

I'm glad this show came out, I have recommended a lot of Series and Game adaptation movies and series to my wife without avail. When the Show came out, I tried again and convinced her ! And she loved it, to the point she would try to beat me to every episode forgetting the fact that I played the game LMAO

I think Joel lying to Ellie definitely is a trust breaker…but the alternative was even worse Fireflies couldnt guarantee a cure…let alone how to distribute it…on top of the fact that an extremist organization holding that much “power” over a potential cure to an infection that literally ravaged the world?! Oh nah.. My vote was for Joel all the way, despite the audacious nature of Part II. Had the fireflies given Ellie a choice or at the very least taken her blood or spinal fluid in some way that wouldn’t been a better turn. But plot is gunna plot 🤷🏾‍♂️ Thank you F.C.E for making this video, you have the best editing and story telling for these and I can’t to see you cover Season 2

I think if he felt he had to protect her from the truth he should have done it more responsibility Like they basically said they don't know if it will work, he could have run with that. But that level of lie is a catastrophic breach of trust

@AndreaMcMaster 7 ай бұрын

And you got the whole series. The infected were no longer the real threat, it was humanity on itself. Also not spoken about is that if the fireflys got the cure, they would probably keep it for themselves to take over whatever was left. I caught the show in pieces after episode 4 where they got to KC as I felt with someone with Joel's skills, it was incredibly stupid to go near a city with Ellie.

I appreciate this since I don't really have a desire to watch it as I've already watched too many seasons of the same storyline different series... but I really wish I could turn off the background sounds. repetitive, grating on my nerves. don't really think they're necessary. perhaps if you do future series you'll consider being a little more light handed on the spooky background music

Interestingly the Games take place 10 years into our own future in 2033 to 2038. There's no real loss with setting the series initially in 2003 then 2023, but when I see vehicles in the series that were not manufactured until 2006/7, o kinda wish they had just kept the original era from the games rather than make it harder for themselves.

You know I for one enjoy the concept of a world ending event creating monsters. Not the clickers themselves but desperate people doing horrible things all in the name of "good". I liked that the clickers were a background feature and we as an audience got to watch humanity tear itself apart.

Wouldn't a flamethrower be a much better way to kill one of these things as opposed to using a gun? It is mentioned in the opening that fungi don't like heat and napalm burns at temperatures between 800-1200 degrees Celsius.

@HMSPrinceofWhales53p 6 ай бұрын

Most flamethrowers and flame based weapons have fallen out of use in militaries following Vietnam for different weapons so how many would be quickly available is questionable in a senator like this. Though why they haven't been reintroduced is interesting to contemplate

the world is big, who can tell there isn't a cure already. The firefly's doctor, didn't know how to get a cure from Eli alive. Why would you kill the only immune person. Most likely he told the fireflies that to keep his high status and protection.

I wish they hadn't use the cordycep concept when they're just regular zombies. I want to see an actual horror movie where people are zombified and are compelled to go to high places, where mushrooms started growing out of them and the spores would be what's infecting people. Makes no sense how the fungus transmits through bite.

As a keen foodie, I imagine the fruiting cordysep body on the heads of the humans would be delicious when lightly sautéed with onions and a sprig of rosemary. Most likely it would be rich in omami and possess a smooth bite best served with bacon bits.
