when i first got my ps4 back in like 2016-ish,
it came exclusively with “the last of us“.
i didn’t know what i was walking into when i got the game tbh.
i heard good things and that it was scary.

It had me HOOKED and became one of my favorite games ever.

the opening of that game is probably the best intro of any video game.
period.
as we grow up as millennials,
they are starting to remake our favorite shows and video games.
when i heard they were touching “the last of us” for tv,
i was like…

last night,
the premiere came on hbo max.
i was ready to go full drag-the-makers mode but…

They did an excellent job with this adaptation.

holy shit,
i was invested.
they tweaked the intro but made it much better for tv.

rip to sarah.
she ain’t know.
it was so realistic from sarah’s pov like in the game.
it felt like you were in the backseat of the jeep.
that was when i gave them props and bowed tf down.

i did have beef with the casting of joel tbh.
in my head,
i saw nikolaj coster-waldau (jamie lannister) as joel.

pablo pascal is doing his thing tho.
he sessy too.
even though i was expecting a “homeboy from juno” lookalike as ellie,
but bella ramsey sold me with her portrayal.
 i’ll allow it.

the coming episodes look really promising.
the clickers scared TF outta me in the game.
i can’t imagine what they’re gonna look like on tv.
if you haven’t seen a playthrough of “the last of us”,
and want spoilers,
you can take a 9 hour peep at all the greatness:

ps5 put their foot in the graphics.

lowkey: i can’t wait until they get to the black family.
