Can I Just

Can I just—

LOOK AT THIS GUY!! LOOK AT HIM!!

I LOVE THIS ZOMBIE SO MUCH!!! He’s like… gorgeous, in this scary way. The cordyceps growing out of him, the way he moves, it’s just amazing.

Not to mention the prosthetics, makeup and effects that went into this. Seriously I cannot express my love for this big guy.

Me:

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

i just rewatched the first twenty or so minute of tlou a couple days ago and something hit me. when the soldier finds joel and sarah, the first thing joel says is “my daughter’s hurt. her ankle.” he doesn’t say she twisted her ankle or broke it or that they had a car accident. no. he says she’s hurt. right after the soldier shot the infected running after them.

joel’s words are the ones the soldier repeats to his superior. the ones that leads whoever it is to give the order to shoot them both. so i guess what i’m saying is that in a way—

It’s pretty awesome how TLOU Game has some of the best VA performances of all time, and TLOU HBO has some of the best Live Action performances of all time. Like, jeez, the casts in both are just out of this world!!

Help, I tried to write something happy and the monster appeared😭

Update: He patted me on the shoulder and said it was good that I was getting out of my comfort zone

Something that ticks me off is people comparing TLOU the game with TLOU HBO and saying it didn’t have as much emotional impact as the game, or that it didn’t “recapture the magic”.

Like… yeah of course it didn’t have as much impact for YOU. You played the game first, and saw it for the first time in the game. With TLOU HBO you saw it again, of course it’s gonna have less of an emotional impact on you when you don’t already know the scene.

Some people went into TLOU HBO expecting to feel exactly what they felt when they played the game, but that’s impossible. The show will never be able to “recapture the magic” for you, because you know the scene and what they’ll say. You already know the emotional beats and the plot.

That’s why ep 3 hit people who played the games and people who didn’t so hard, not just because it was an amazing story, but because you didn’t know what would happen. You didn’t already know the scenes or what they’d say, because of course it “doesn’t have the magic” when you already know exactly what comes next unlike when you played the games.

I watched TLOU HBO first, and all of the emotional beats struck their mark perfectly and hit me like a damn semi-truck.

“You’e not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad”, “I swear”, “I got you baby girl”, they all wrecked me like they wrecked you when you played the game.

Of course the scene is gonna hit harder when you’re experiencing it for the first time, rather than the scenes being “worse” in the show.
