Saw the trailer, it's going to be woke trash. There was a black woman. There is a young girl as one of the leads, and her taking a selfie with a friend was giving me lesbian vibes for double wokeness. Also saw a few other black people. Not to mention the lead is an actor named Pedro. It's like they are trying to erase white people in the apocalypse.

Sadly, I feel the need to mention that the above is sarcasm, because there are going to be serious reviews citing stuff like the above.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.

Oh boy, I hope there are spores. Spores are my favorite things in existence -- I like to collect them, hold them, give them names, and blow them out of the palm of my hand towatch them dance on the spring breeze. If this show had no spores, I would be very disappointed and want to rail against it in impotent, irreconcilable rage.

Tentacles are dumb. I don't even understand how they work to make zombies. They should have kept the spores. All because they couldn't bear to not have Joel show his face for 2 fucking minutes per episode

tbh the worst criticism i've heard is that the show follows the game almost to a T.

having completed the game several times as well as the upcoming PC release i doubt there's a good reason for gamers to watch the show

It's a no win situation. Follow the game too closely, get complaints about why bother to watch. Deviate too much, same group rages that its too different.

They removed the spores from the outbreak. They didn't want to make Joel wear a mask, even for a short time. Gotta always have that famous face on screen.......

I'm not sure that's a realistic take for Actual Pedro Pascal, the man who is most famous for being a helmet.

Mandalorian isn't his most famous role by a long shot, he was one of the male leads in the first seasons of narcos which got way more viewers then mando ever did

^ true, I also saw something about how Neil Druckmann's parents can finally get into TLoU because of it.

also, I like how this is from the official Bob's Burgers account:

My parents liked the opening, but they for some reason thought "it was weird" after the time skip. I think they thought it would just be about fighting zombies and didn't understand why its showing life in Boston

The opening was phenomenal. I definitely prefer it to the game, just going throughout Sara's last day alive gives it more time to flesh her out.

The rest was still pretty good, but I feel like it might be slightly confusing to anyone who didn't play the game. And the reveal that Ellie is immune was weirdly cavalier, I thought it'd be the end-of-episode cliffhanger, but it was almost in the background.

Oh, and I really liked the subtle wheat thing going on. In the game - and presumably the show - the initial outbreak was caused by infected crops. The show does a lot of things showing that Joel, Sarah, and Tommy didn't eat any wheat that day. Joel forgot to buy pancake mix, they decline the neighbor's gross grandma biscuits, Sara skips out on the neighbor before eating any of the cookies, and Joel forgets to buy a cake.

They will open the next episode with more weight on it the subject obviously. But they just killed a guy and more were coming soon, there was no time to get into it right then.

That felt a bit surreal. It was so video-gamey in parts, like NPCs literally just handing off quests, and cop cars conveniently rolling up to block their path.

Pretty good tho. They literally just hired Marlene to play Marlene lol.
