Google has got into the habit of winking at its users by adding animations to its search engine. We remember in particular a tribute to football during certain major competitions. This time it’s the turn of the series The Last of Us to be entitled to great attention from the Tech giant.
Google pays homage to The Last of Us
Concretely, just type “The Last of Us” on the search engine and you will see a small button and a mushroom-shaped icon. Clicking on it unfolds an animation, and if you press it heavily, it will eventually cover your entire screen. Fans of the series will recognize its hyper contagious and intrusive aspect.
Other Internet users have also noted that by typing “Cordyceps” the mushroom also appears. Without saying too much, this is an essential aspect of the series, and the latter is responsible for the infection of humans. You can also have fun doing new searches to spot whether or not the fungus appears.
If Google chose to create this “easter egg” about The Last of Us, it is clearly not by chance. We know that the series is a real phenomenon. HBO achieved very impressive audience scores for the first two episodes. The latest to date thus attracted 5.7 million spectators, which brings it closer to House of the Dragon.
On the Internet, we can also see that the subject is very discussed. He is regularly placed in “trend topic” on Twitter. It’s also a safe bet that the series is heavily pirated, and that the audience scores only reflect part of the real audience.
The Last of Us: the series of the year
Whether The Last of Us gaining popularity over time, it’s thanks to very good word of mouth, and above all because the series deserves to be seen. For our part, we particularly liked this adaptation directed by Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin.
The two men have been able to remain faithful to the video game, while deviating subtly, when necessary. The public has something to appreciate these secondary characters that we only crossed initially. But it is the duo made up of Joel and Ellie who literally bursts the screen. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey play their role perfectly.
We also appreciate the meticulousness with which certain scenes from the game are reproduced, and the mind-blowing panoramas that the series offers us.
