How are you liking The Last of Us TV Show? Did you find all the Easter Eggs that reference the video games?
HBO’s TV series adaptation of the Naughty Dog game with the same co-producer in Neil Druckmann are bound to have similarities and hidden easter eggs. The TV Show enhances the story of the original video game by adding easter eggs to the original and The Last of Us 2. But it also expands on the lore by fleshing out the main characters Joel and Ellie for a new medium.
This video is a break down of all 91 of the hidden easter eggs and references & explains what it all means.
One more easter eggs that’s been a burning question on people’s minds is…
Instead of through spores in the games, the cordyceps fungus in the TV show spreads through the yeast fungus or flour in baked goods. That’s how the old woman who gets infected first gets it, through the visibly undercooked biscuits being fed to her on the driveway at the beginning of the first episode. Then the cookies Sarah is given (and never eats), that Sarah and Joel eat eggs when they were meant to be eating pancakes, Tommy skipping breakfast altogether, the cake that Joel forgets to pick up, and that Joel is on the Atkins diet, meaning that he’s not eating carbs, like bread made with yeast fungus or flour.
Up next is the official The Last of Us Podcast where the creators discuss Episode 1: “When You’re Lost in the Darkness”…
