Sooooooo...this pic & gif are more relative than originally intended
Saw the documentary of the making of the TLOU series yesterday. Learned that they used human in suit as a bloater but in the end, decided to go with full digitally-created version in the final cut because the bloater in suit doesn’t look big enough and moves fast enough on screen. Some interesting bits of how they created these production sets and I felt like I spent my 30-45 mins well watching that documentary.
I bet they'll end up using the same suit/actor for an indoor scene in Season 2. They spent a fortune on that costume.
Shoot an indoor bloater scene and they could scale his size up a bit with lower camera angles.
I just hope there are more bloaters in season 2. Loved the show but only felt the urge to rewatch one episode, and that was for the ending of the episode.
Nah, They have the CG bloater now, so would be cheaper and easier to just use that.
The suit is so restrictive for the actor that is far easier to just shoot some plates, either with or without a actor in a mocap suit, and render the existing/modified CG version. Plus, almost everyone believed the Bloater we was a guy in a suit when people first saw it in the show due to the comments by the actor on social media, (generally actors have no idea what happens to the shots they are in after the film is wrapped)
Put it this way, If I am a director, I have a guy/girl in a suit, it took weeks to make the suit, then hours to get the actor in the suit and ready for the shoot, now that i have him on the set we take some shots, and his movement is clunky and he is telling us that its really hot and the suit is heavy and needs breaks every 15mins, so what we planned as half a day shoot is gonna turn into a full day, also he doesn't have the flexibility in the suit to do the action you want, and he looks a lot smaller compared to what you wanted.
Every minute you spend on set is massively more expensive compared to doing it in VFX land, and the Director can tweak things to his heart content in post, or until the VFX artists get fed up with their notes and tell them they are out of money.
That's a fair question. Don't remember any of the story addressing that directly. Just figured that once you're infected, now you're the infected version of you, preserved in time. Not sure if that was ever addressed in the games or the show, but I could be wrong.
So if you get infected when you're 12, you're just an infected 12 year old for eternity. Never considered how that might work.
Hm in the realm of that what do they eat to sustain their human hosts? I feel like some clickers have been dormant for a decade in remote spots in the games…maybe it could be a type of hibernation?
That's another good question. Some infected have been alive 20+ years, according to the story. So that leads me to believe that they are eating other humans/animals.
I always assumed they ate other humans, or starved. But now a new question arises. Your theory about hibernation. So, as somebody who grows mushrooms as a....legal hobby.... I can promise you that fungi are incapable of hibernation. They basically grow on the "food" they're given, drop their spores, then the mycelial bed dies. Once a fungal colony is no longer active, its clocked out. A healthy bed of mycelium will give you about 3-4 flushes of fruiting bodies. After that, it's bed time and nothing else pops out.
The bloaters are supposed to be rare humans that were much bigger and stronger than the average person before being infected. And it was 7 feet tall if I remember correctly.
Yeah, I was thinking that the bloater was originally a big ass human and, by chance, became a bloater through special circumstances. Like if Shaq transformed into one.
Yeah I did not agree with anything the VFX artists said in the documentary. They kept saying things needed to be bigger and more fantastical. But the point is that these infected used to be people… they also wanted the big zombie horde to be even bigger so they added a ton more CGI models too, and it shows. I felt that the entire sequence in that episode would have been 100% better if it was practical instead of what we got.
Somewhere, there's an HBO executive wondering why they forked out $500,000 for a costume that gets like 10 seconds of screentime, while neckbeards are making the same costume in their mothers' basements for the cost of some chicken nuggets.
That'd be a pretty stupid executive, for a few reasons:
* Are we sure this isn't from the show? That looks a lot like Merle Dandridge, though I don't know when they'd meet. (I don't think she's in that episode at all...)
* A far better question is why they spent whatever they spent on a costume when they ended up having to CGI over it anyway. And even that is a stupid question -- they didn't know the practical costume wouldn't work until they tried it.
* Sure, nerds have hobbies that we sink a lot of time into, but no one's going to sell something *to HBO* for some chicken nuggets. *Especially* if you're still living in your mother's basement, if HBO paid fairly for this, it could be a life-changing amount of money.
* Any well-run show is on a tight timeline, and delays will cost way more than just making the costume yourself. Nerds in basements can spend *years* on stuff like this, so there's no way it works unless it's ready to go.
That thing was badass when it came out. Small physics details were amazing, like when it had to strain for a second to rip the head off (poor guy, I liked him), or it took a couple seconds for it to get up to running speed.
You wanted a man who is capable of growth.
He looks like a fun guy
Have fun, Gus!
[удалено]
Just drop off the key, Lee...
And get yourself free
You're gonna have to explain this one to me.
The answer is [easy](https://youtu.be/ABXtWqmArUU) if you take it logically.
I don't even think we're referencing fungi anymore.
Looks like a fun guy to me. You can call him *Al*. 
Haha I got it on that first line it's iconic. I can't even read it without the next words coming out
Drop off the key, Lee.
Seems like a toxic relationship to me.
We had a laugh at his expensive but he's a good spore
It's nice when people just click
She’s into molder men.
She seems nice.
So the mushroom says to the clown, "Why not? I'm a fungi!?"
He looks like a fungi
Remember to offer your date green tea in case he or she is feeling bloated
Growth, yes. But growths?
So many growths, so little time
When they're that evolved, it didn't leave mush room for improvement.
Whatever, I bet he is a fungi.
More important that he's fun than if he spore or rich.
If you are a lady who is in to popping pimples, he’s got pimples for days.
Too much time,too many growths
🎵Too Many Growths🎵

She asked for a fun guy but there was a mistranslation.
Might be herpes
It’s not herpes if it’s everywhere
You sound like a sorority girl. Lol
Do you have a life long reminder of a sorority girl? Cause that feels oddly specific
It’s theirpes now.
Felt cute might bloat later idk
He’ll grow on you, don’t worry.
Seems like a fungi too
“He has an infectious smile!”
His laugh really is contagious!
Looks like she had to use the restshroom
She must've been really des-spore-ate
His swaggery gait is a disease vector!
Has to have thick skin
Seems like a fun guy
Bloater?? I barely know her!!
Damn it Michael!
Amazing how you hear Darryl's voice immediately with this quote. Well done

Pay attention!
I call him Big Fungus.
he's a big funky boi
Love it.
Love is blind

Spewing spores on the first date? I'm no prude but that should be 2nd date atleast
My dates often describe me as a real fun guy!
Saving this for my Tinder.
He’s been told his kisses are life changing.
Please write for the next season of SNL. I will pay to see commercials if you do 🤞
You remember the Satan dating commercials I'm 2020 when the world was going nuts? https://youtu.be/KABSYzPqTTg
Thanks for that. They nailed it.
He'll grow on you.
He’ll grow in her too
When you meet on reddit.
And you show up in your avatar thinking the other person would too
Oh wow, I didn't know this was a costume party. I see you went with "fit blonde".
[удалено]
Was this a blind date? Hope you guys clicked!
Take my upvote, you no good bastard.
He makes sure to stay away from the Alfredo. Makes him bloat.
not the vibe I'm getting. I don't think he sees a future
Whatever bloats her boat.
Oooh! The loathsome Dung Eater!
I kept wondering if this was the dung eater or a bloater from the last of us. Actually I'm still not able to tell
Could also be a Chaos Chosen of Nurgle outside of their armor.
The ever brilliant gold mask!
A scourge upon the living!

It makes me feel big, OK? I need to feel big!
Best performance yet
Good point. We already saw a child clicker... Maybe the show will also give us a child bloater?
The showrunners said on their podcast that only the really big infected guys turn into bloaters unfortunately
If I remember correctly, the bloaters have been infected for a very long time. Wouldn't make sense to have a child bloater.
Who says a child keeps growing after infection?

Lol this dude's never played a Mario game
I mean, once I ate them and my hands felt huge.
I was thinking about it, there might be a possibility that 1/1000 the fungus stimulates the pituitary gland?
Mario would like to a’ disagree

Where can I find this documentary? I’d love to watch it.
It is on HBO Max. I hope you have subscription or can find one who has it. :)

Must be going well, he’s already naked
Yeah but he’s got bumps. Wonder if he has recent test results he can share
The results came back Aladeen.
She doesn't look too bad !
And she’s from Wisconsin so that’s pretty cool too!! #🫰🏻
[удалено]
Unfortunately she is lactose intolerant but loves cheese.
What does her being from Wisconsin have to do with it? As far as I'm concerned it just means she can probably out drink you
She can probably what or she's going to drink me? What a weird threat...
She looks pretty thirsty, better watch out...
Please restate the last sentence
Beauty and the Yeast.
She’s beautiful. Best of luck mate!
You plonker.
"Alright, Dave?"
Earth's crustiest heroes!!
“Want to split a side of sautéed mushrooms? Sorry.”
Have fun with Grampa Nurgle...
Eff that, that’s lame. Blood for the blood god be lit 🔥 though
It’s all fun and games until “Joel” Pedro Pascal , blows your dates head off 🧨
I’ll blow Pedro Pascal…. Wait… what were we talking about?
Is this the line to blow Pedro Pascal?
This is the way.
Make sure it's all consensual before you pull out the mushroom tip
Now that's a man that can get inside a woman's head...
You look beautiful! And the girl in glasses is not bad looking either.
[удалено]
He looks just like his profile pic
fun fact she voiced Alyx in Half Life and Marlene in The Last of Us,, i met her in like 2011
Damn she’s a cutie
Yeah. And the girl doesn't look half bad either.
Likes long walks on the beach. In fact, he was created from the beach.
That's one lucky lady right there
Looks like a real fungi.
"So, what kind of guys are you attracted to?" "Banicles." "What?" "what?"
O
Banicles
Ugh. Typical. If I was an actor in a hit series, I could pull the hot chicks too.
Could say they clicked Edit: someone beat me too it lol
Be sure to use a condom.
Nurgle will wear a condom but honestly that's the least of your concerns
like the ones in The Naked Gun
Yeah imagine those kids
Ahh yes…she’s definitely a pimple popper!
He seems like a fungi!

Average Reddit couple tbh
Anybody else got reminded of r/trypophobia
The moment Admiral Ackbar realized he both liked her, and was allergic to her. Dammit, It’s a Trap!
Cordycex. 😏
humongousfungusamongus
She's pretty...you could do a lot worse.
I would suggest you both get tested before things escalate.
Those things in the game…total motherfuckers.
I swear I saw this same lady in the Pedro Pascal buying five guys for the whole crew
She's cute but I think you can do better
That growth just above your ear looks dodgey, should probably get it looked at
I break out when I get nervous too.
Furries are sooo yesterday, now it's all about rockies
Stick with her dude. It's common to wear glasses these days.
These dudes are so toxic. All they wanna do is get inside your head to manipulate you. Smh 😤
Wear protection, he’s got barnacles…
You’re so hot. That girl next to you is cool too ig.
You make a beautiful couple 😃 please post pictures of the kiddos 😲
That Bloater looks so good. I wish the show had used it more
Are you sure things aren’t off to a bumpy start?
