In the last episode we saw maybe two Zombies. And they were barely relevant. In this one, there were none.
I understand that the show doesn’t need to follow the game, but this is ridiculous.
As far as writing goes, this is a good show. But it is not what we were promised.
Yeah, I don’t understand it. It’s a zombie apocalypse and there are no zombies. Just odd
sharePlay the game for that.
shareOr the writers can do their jobs and actually put Zombies in this show. As it was promised.
shareThere is a new Transformers movie coming. Maybe that is more for you than this.
shareNo I am not a fan of Transformers. They are too silly and childish.
I want good writing and good stories.
I also want for a Zombie series to have Zombies. A show should deliver what was promised. Maybe that is a difficult concept for you.
You're just too demanding! Next you'll be wanting your cheeseburger to have meat and cheese on it!!
shareBut that’s the thing. They’re NOT zombies. But infected mutants who didn’t die but just mutated.
shareSome TikTok and MrBeast videos will probably calm you down.
shareI love the childish responses I’ve been getting. Lol!
Apparently expecting Zombies in a Zombie series is too much.
But there are zombies. Just because it's a post apocalyptic series with zombies doesn't mean that the focus is on constant zombie action. And that's a good thing because the game already covered that.
shareThis is supposed to be an adaptation of the game. If it’s going in a different direction, it shouldn’t be called “The Last of US.”
shareIt's an adaptation, not a shot for shot remake. Besides, this is the first episode with no zombies, and that's because the much bigger threat of humans were front and center in this one.
shareHow exactly is it going in a different direction? Sure there are some changes but overall the story is ufolding just like in the game. If all you got from the game was killing zombies I don't think you understood what was the heart of the game.
shareSPOILERS!
It is definitely not unfolding like the game. For starters, when they meet up with Bill, he is still alive and they have to face a Bloater.
I understood the game. I know that it is more than just Zombies. But even when the Zombies were not the principal threat, there was always the tension and fear of them.
I am not getting any of that here.
"It is definitely not unfolding like the game. For starters, when they meet up with Bill, he is still alive and they have to face a Bloater."
Like I said there are some changes, but those changes don't affect the main story or Joel and Ellie's journey which is the most important aspect of the game/plot.
"I am not getting any of that here."
Well, what can I say, you can't please everyone. I hope you like it better as it goes on.
but they're not zombies
There were long sections of the game with no infected.
shareThere was no Apocalypse in Apocalypse Now, yet the movie has achieved epic and historical status
shareYeah that what I thought when they entered Kansas in episode 4. And those random people showed up with their boring problems. I thought : 'Oh no, here we go. Now its turning into Walking Dead where they had constant conflict among group of people and zombies was just a backgound noise".
That is just boring.
Also - where did all zombies went? Did they all get extinct over 20 years? There should be millions upon millions of them wandering around. Yet Joel and Ellie were driving for hours with no one zombie in sight. They entered a big city with no walls and zero zombies in sight and people walking freely and attack outsiders because they are bored.
At this point people can just come out of quarantine zones and start rebuilding civilization. Open factories, make products.
Exactly. Boston is overrunned by Zombies, but Kansas City is Zombie free?
It doesn’t make sense.
Zombie makeup costs a hell of alot. If the show producers had to pay for the makeup then they would have to forgo money for hookers.
Just so you people know, the makeup for having a fungus bloom on the actors head is much more expensive that the actual zombie's makeup of The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead could not hardly afford the simple zombie makeup and therefore had many shows without any zombies or hardly any zombies.
Also the full bloom fungus clickers are actually genuinely gross to most people to the affect that people do not want to watch this show because they are grossed out by this. I have played the game and I was not fully grossed out by the fungus bloom because the PS3 graphics ain't that good. I will probably never watch this show because it is gross.
