Man. When Troy Baker said Pedro's performance of Joel made him want to return to the role and do new different things, I think this episode made him think that.
Agreed. Pedro just....wow....what a portrayal.
You can feel Joel's pain...and it's been bottled up...for 20 years...20 Years.
Damn...Troy and Pedro.
2 great men, who brought life to one of video game's best characters of all time.
Where does Troy say this? I'd love to hear more about his thoughts on Pedro's performance
@@yagowoebckengarcia6173 Troy hosts a weekly podcast that interviews Neil and Craig, the lead creator of the game and showrunner of the series. He might have said it in one of the episodes- I don’t remember. Still an excellent podcast I would recommend
@@coopercuya1353probably the most recent, its great
Namely to give him more personality than that of murderous hobo
This is the Joel I always envisioned. Joel being so wracked with guilt and sadness but keeping it bottled up for so long he has started to develop panic attacks.
When I was watching this, I thought to myself, “this man is so broken and so tremendously fucked up.” Playing the games, it’s hard to stop and think about just who you’re playing as. This show is doing a fantastic job at showing that these are people. Human beings.
Joel is a *broken* man. Pedro Pascal delivered that on a silver platter tonight.
Lmfao, so for some reason you always envisioned an old/slow/weak/terrified/crying Joel who has panic attacks for some reason 🤷? Did you only play Part 2 perchance?
@@CommanderLongJohn Joel canonically has anxiety, though. In the first game he took blood pressure meds and anxiety meds before the apocalypse. It’s not totally unbelievable for Joel’s anxiety to manifest physically like it did in the episode.
He’s not heartless. Just hardened. And it’s a lot easier for him to feel sympathy for someone that reminds him of his daughter, and probably kids in general.
Joel Isn’t the cruel, emotionless badass you think he is. He may have done bad things, and he’s not the greatest person but he’s still a human being with thoughts and feelings.
@@procyonlotor222 The anxiety meds is a detail that I completely missed.
But yeah, I absolutely agree. Joel was always supposed to be a hardened but broken badass. Part of what made him an amazing character was how human he was.
@@CommanderLongJohn You're talking about a character who lost his daughter in a brutal way and has dealt with bottling up his grief in an incredibly unhealthy way. He's not Doomguy and he never has been. He was always written to be a human character who has gone through hell and back. What he went through broke him and he was never willing to go through that again. That is what makes Joel who he is.
I love how the brother dynamic lends itself so neatly to Joel being vulnerable. Without Tommy we'd never see this side of Joel.
I love how they changed Tommy and Joel’s relationship. The dynamic between them is so much better. And yeah, Joel would never have been able to let these things out if it wasn’t for Tommy.
This scene makes the Henry and Sam arc hit so much harder than in the game imo
@@bismilah9017 The finale too when we learned Joel tried to suicide like Henry did except he failed, that must've been awful for Tommy not knowing if Joel was going to survive but he did, seeing Joel like this probably reminded him of that day he tried to kill himself and he agrees to take Ellie because he sees Joel is breaking again.
Anyone notice that Joel’s accent gets stronger when he’s with Tommy. There’s a reality to this performance.
That’s what I told my sister and she said no.
Joel’s accent is a lot thicker when he’s talking to tommy
Yep around family, our accents tend to sound more authentic and real because we are more comfortable with being around them than other people
Yeah most people are like that, we basically put up this performance to make ourselves look a certain way in public, but being around family, or friends we really trust we can drop that performance cause were comfortable, basically just being ourselves around them
Yeah I'm Scottish and people in America say I sound way more Scottish when talking to people back home. They think it's weird but it's not me pretending it's just that I have to really tone it down to be understood here so when I get a chance to let it rip I take it.
Holy shit. That performance was amazing. The way he delivered that line “I don’t remember. I just know that when I wake up… I’ve lost something”. Phew
In the podcast Craig Mazin said that Pedro improvised that line. Amazing work, it broke me
@@CataRDJ Now that… is impressive
@@easterburn583520+
You can feel Joel's horror, anguish, and trauma in this scene. I also thought he didn't seem very attached to Ellie until this confessional to Tommy. Pedro really does nail the hurt side of Joel coming out very well here.
“i’m failing in my sleep” is what broke me
Pedro's acting is 11/10 in this scene, immaculate.
11 is too low
@@TerrellCooper agreed 👍
Try 20/10😢😢
100/10 🎉❤
Something I didn't notice the first time I saw this scene was that there is no music. The writing and especially the performance is so good, the scene doesn't need music to evoke an emotional response. Pedro is at the top of his game here giving a master class in acting. Chef's kiss.
This scene was so real and so needed for story/character development. This is Joel letting out all his bottled up emotions and worries, and Pedro completely sells it.
Pedro’s best performance right here IMO
I’m sorry where in the game does Joel cry like a bitch and says he’s weak lol
@@Matt-xs7qo 1000% agree
It was weird for me to watch that because joel never had a weak moment like that especially not with his brother. The dynamic between them 2 was much better in the video game.
@@gecko874 Nah, it's 1000% better here in the show
Yes, Pedro is on fire here, but Gabriel is on fire too. You can see Tommy dying inside, hearing his unstoppable big brother just shatter in front of him. Then once the tears start, he's already made his decision.
That reminds me of the first time I saw my dad and my brother crying. Two massively important figures in my life, big, powerful, able to do everything, both (and me in a lesser extend) from the “men don’t cry” era, suddenly crying, with theirs walls completely broken down. Both at different moments, from different events, but seeing them like that was shocking to me
@@FranciscoOyola94you have 0 idea how much this comment hit
Tommy was played incredibly well by Gabriel.
I love how human Joel is in this scene.
Even though he’s a survivor who’s lasted 20 years in the apocalypse, he’s still human and he’s getting older and slower. He’s starting to see Ellie as a daughter figure and that terrifies him, he’s already lost one daughter he can’t take losing another one. He’s already afraid of her dying and him not being able to protect her, for the first time since episode 1 we seen so vulnerable and so scared.
Joel has kept himself in a war state of mind for those 20 years. Not really living, but fighting to simply serve and survive as a guardian for his brother, Tess, and now Ellie. Once he's in Jackson, a place totally unlike Boston that actually resembles how society was and where his brother and Ellie are safe, he lets down his guard for the first time. Because he can finally live and reflect, he experiences PTSD at its worst. Every pain he's been through, starting from Sarah, now begins to crush him as his "failures".
This scene hurt me so bad
Plus he feels like he failed Sarah and Tess in terms of protecting them. He sees redemption in Ellie.
“If the lord somehow gave me another chance at that moment, i would do it all over again”
@@Evin07That’s so sad. A place where he is genuinely safe, and he feels the toll at its worst.
“All I’ve ever done is fail her.” The way that “her” could be either of his daughters.
Or Tess too 😢
@@JerichaG92 fuck…
Bro they both are his daughter Ellie and Sarah .
Ellie isnt his daughter
only in blood
"I just know that when I wake up, I've lost something" they mentioned Pedro came up with that alone, and I think is the most heartbreaking line of the monologue. It kills me the way he says it
I wonder if Pedro tapped into that line cause of his mom. She killed herself when he was 18. 😭 If he did my heart breaks for him.
He put into words what I have felt during rough times in my life. Forever grateful.
@@dewainalexander6615 On Graham Norton’s show Friday, the other guests were talking about taking their moms to premieres, etc. so they could enjoy the success. Pedro sat there silent. It broke my heart.
@@suzannaahmed5582 oh no poor pedro. Ouch. 😭 I'm soooo sorry that happened to him.
@@suzannaahmed5582 that’s heartbreaking :(
Pedro deserves all the awards for this scene alone !!
Right?? Pedro is AMAZING
hes such an amazing actor beyond words
@@MayLilyLMAO. He didn't win anything. And that’s because anyone who watched any of the other nominees would know that they deserved it more.
2:23 This is a perfect example of an adaptation elevating the source material. In the game, I never once thought about how Henry killing Sam would've affected Joel as an older brother himself. Tommy's look of shock and sympathy when Joel tells him about it conveys so much.
No expedition dumping at its best
He's so terrified of him failing her and her dying as a result, it's heartbreaking.
And of course this is foreshadowing for what'll happen in the final episode. He cannot lose another daughter. It would absolutely destroy him.
And it's not just Tess, it's Sarah too. From the first episode/beginning of the game, all he's done is fail Sarah, in his eyes. He forgot the pancake mix, he volunteered her to keep their neighbors company, he forgot the cake, he wasn't there when she woke up that night and she wandered over to the said neighbors. If it wasn't for Tess' wish, I feel like he would've just killed himself.
That's so insightful. It really goes to show how all the little pieces fit together
Death of sam and henry was a huge reminder of what a failure and tragic loss was.
Joel here has totally given up
luckily i've already played the game but maybe put a spoiler warning for people who haven't?
@@beastongaming1866It's been close to 10 years. There is no excuse.
Damn. The setup for the final episode is so good. Joel hasn't been really killing people throughout the show. He explains it all here clear as day. He's not who he used to be, he's grown softer and older and he fears for ellie. But in the final episode, he's gonna be faced head on with another chance at saving a daughter. With this, the monster in him will be let loose again and he will protect ellie
I’m expecting this too. If he’s not absolutely brutal in the final episodes, it will be a disappointment. But I think that’s what they’re building up to, with this scene. And, to be fair, Joel has killed 6 people so far. Not as much as in the game because this isn’t a video-game haha, but that’s one kill per episode.
@@anatheodoro9596They’ve said that TLOU II will take 2 seasons to adapt. I’m hoping that’s because season 2 will cover the 5 year gap between both games. I really want to see how Joel processes this, snuffing out what might’ve been Humanity’s last chance at a cure.
@@lucaswilliams2292 oh god, i hope you're right. I hope we get to see more of Joel in the next couple of seasons... more than we saw him in the second game. Plus, Pedro Pascal is so good it would be a waste not to use him more
this is a beautiful take
well, you got your wish in the ending
I love how they make Joel so human. In the game he is sort of mechanic and harsh. But here he shows emotions and true depth. It’s just beautiful
I was thinking the same thing. Joel being so much more caring in an outward way really threw me off. In the game it’s obvious that Joel has grown fond of Ellie but he’s still pretty stoic and serious. He has a stronger dad energy in this show and I think it’s just a different interpretation. I like it but it’s just a little jarring
This. ❤️
@@maximalist5038 in the second game we seen a diferent Joel too, but not to vulnerable like this
When joel said he wakes up and knows his lost something pedro actually came up with that line :( makes it all the more heartbreaking
Shit. That makes it sadder. Pedro lost his mother to suicide when he was 18.
I’ve always loved when actors are allowed to add things when it fits the rhyme of the scene.
@@dewainalexander6615damn I didn’t knew that. That’s fucked up
As much as I wanna believe you, has Pedro Pascal said that himself? I wanna watch the interview
@@cbmazo9229 it was on the podcast after show.
Pedro's best performance on the show so far. Just amazing acting.
How can you say its his best performance if the season isn’t over yet?
@@Natan_Korkot “So far” Did you actually read the comment?
Bs , you don't know the fella if you think this is his best , it's good but not his best
@@ceedub3894”on the show so far” jesus christ y’all need to learn how to read and comprehend the shit you read
Hands-down, Pedro‘s best scene this whole season.
And he’s willing to put a helmet over his face for Mando. We are blessed to have him and his talent.
EDIT: Pedro's best scene SO FAR. I could be wrong, and this could be topped.
How can you know it’s pedros best scene if the season isn’t over
@@Natan_KorkotPedro's best scene so far.
@@Natan_Korkot Why are you like this?
@@MariusBoss11458 Well said.
@@Natan_Korkot That's what so far mean. 😅
"I'm failing in my sleep. It's all I do. It's all I've ever done - is fail her again and again."
Damn that's heartbreaking. What a scene. I'm loving some of the changes they're making.
The way Pedro delivers the line, “I was so afraid” and his voice trembles and you can see him shaking a little…it makes my heart break every time. You just want to give him a hug. 😢
I feel the same way. gosh I was hugging to hell out of the shark plush i was holding when watching this scene from how badly I wanted to hug him
This is a fucking acting that was completely needed. Just amazing. This man deserves an award for this performance. The way he tries to say that he doesn't want to take her because he is afraid he will do something to kill her just like he did with sarah, is an emotional parallel that makes you wonder how an emotional relationship can reach this point. He is trying to save her and himself as well because he is afraid of failing. This is spectacular!
I can't get over this scene. For 5 episodes we see Joel trying to bottle every emotion and here he just lets it out, finally
cathartic
@@SmashAdams the perfect word to describe it
This scene absolutely fucking floored me. My mind is blown how good Pedro was in this scene. You feel years of trauma, pain, regret all let out in this scene. He is an utterly fantastic actor.
"I'm failin' in my sleep" is honestly so heartbreaking.
I know where this is going, we all do. And when the time comes, that same fear to lose her that freezes him, it will turn into the same love that drived him to save her from being killed. Over and over again.
Omg 😭
@@lsour8546 is ok, darling, have a virtual tissue 🧻
"If somehow the lord gave me a second chance..."
I'm curious to see what the wider audience thinks about the consequences of his actions in the next season. I still believe he did the right thing.
@@MaxtothePower he did the right thing.
Even the little movement Joel makes at 1:01 just in case Tommy makes a run for it, everything in this scene is just so perfect.
😨 wud he have attacked his brother, to protect Ellie you think?
@@brie1026 I think if tommy ran for the door he would've
@@SmashAdams I think that says a lot.
Honestly this is one of the only scenes in any tv show that hit me in the feels like this. Pedro needs an emmy for this scene
Emmy*
@@daddyt2837 ye my bad
Unfortunately, Keiran Culkin also delivered masterfully in Succession last year and he's been taking the awards
Everyone talks about “failing in my sleep” but for me it’s the soft, shaky “I was so afraid” there’s just so much damn love and fear in his voice it broke my heart. What a masterclass in acting, seriously. ❤
It's so weird to see Joel like this. In the game, Joel is angry and commanding of his brother here. He's afraid of losing ellie sure but in the game he shuts it off and tries to hand her off not for her benefit but for his because he's afraid to care for her then lose her. Here he's begging and being vulnerable. Totally different emotional display. Interesting
Indeed. I think Joel in the game works for the game, since gameplay-wise it's an action game, while in the series they can show up some of the traits they weren't able to in the game. It's still the same character but with different traits being explored.
@@eduardohenriquecarneiroalv6343 That's a great take and I totally agree
It was needed.
@@eduardohenriquecarneiroalv6343 exactly my thoughts! It was ok for the game, but the series brings out so much more out of all these characters and makes the series a joy to watch (and rewatch). A superb scene.
Spot on. The game version made sense as he has to have this bad ass demeanor with all the action. This scene is excellent foreshadowing and sums up what Joel and Ellie's story is all about.
I love how he says that he'd be more capable if he were five years younger (which is Joel's age in the game).
I feel like another big reason Tommy was silent and just listening with absolutely nothing to say except “I’ll take her” is because Tommy served and he’s empathizing, Joel is suffering from some severeeeee PTSD and I’m sure Tommy has/is as well from his time in the military and the messed up stuff they had to do over the years.
Also he was there when Sarah died as well
I saw the Desert Storm bumper sticker on Tommy's truck in the pilot episode and didn't know they both served
@@pontiacGXPfan it's only Tommy served. Joel told about it to Ellie in 4 episode
Going to give Gabriel his flowers too, hell of an actor and really well cast as Joel’s brother. Excited to see him more in the second season.
Pedro is so getting that Emmy omg
And if he doesn't we will protest LoL
Pedro better get AT LEAST nominated for an Emmy for his work on The Last of Us. He was incredible, I can understand if he doesn't win because of the heavy competition, but he 100% should be in the running at the very least
And that right there is Pedro Pascal's Emmy, people!
The show really makes Joel more vulnerable than the game. In the game he sort of compartmentalizes everything he’s done because of survival on top of that his age doesn’t really affect the things you do in that game like beating up the infected or climbing up stairs. I love this scene a lot more than the game because it makes him more human. Hearing Pedro talk about how his body is failing him, how he can’t keep up, and that he’s failing at protecting his daughter in his own sleep got me 😢. “I’m failing in my sleep” that line broke me. I’m telling myself “Pedro please don’t make me cry we haven’t even gotten to the cabin scene”
Just when i thought i couldn't shed more tears over Joel, this show came out
Ikr my heart was slowly sinking down to my stomach and I was sobbing during this scene
I teared up man Pedro is amazing give him an Emmy already
"I'm weak"
*proceeds to annihilate a whole outpost of trained fireflies without blinking once*
This is the scene that will win him that Emmy. My god the game made me feel like Joel. And then Pascal goes and makes me feel like him again, the terror of losing someone you care about hit me hard. He made me feel that again! Phenomenal acting!
The way Tommy flinched towards the door after hearing Ellie was infected was the same as when Joel flinched away from Tess when she revealed her infection.
Joel’s first instinct was self preservation, Tommy’s first instinct was saving his family.
Small moments that show how broken Joel is
Pedro Pascal is getting all the opportunities to face-act in ways we'll never see in The Mandalorian Season 3.
Congrats to Pedro Pascal for winning a SAG award for this performance.
This Joel is more emotional and honest whereas original Joel just built walls so thick around himself after losing Sarah that he rarely let's someone see his real emotions. He wouldn't have had such a speech with Tommy cause he would have never admitted his fears of losing Ellie like he lost Sarah so he tried to use the card "You have to do it for all the times I saved you in the past" on him but Ellie still figures out the real reason why he was gonna leave her with him as shown when they talk in that abandoned house. I guess in the show they made Joel less cold and more open to talk about his feelings to make the plot moving faster.
from legendary meme to legendary actor he's truly a god of rollercoaster of emotions
"Somewhere in these eyes im on your side"
I love how Pedro has his eyes glistening with tears that have not yet fallen. He also does this when he reunites with Tommy in that epic hug.
Poor guy. He’s so afraid of losing another child on his watch. It means he truly cares about Ellie
This version of joel is wayyyy more relatable And in this context of the scene you know why he does what he does towards the end of the season he’s already failed once and doesnt want to fail again he can’t go through that again
Man. When he said I fail In my sleep, that almost got me, that was a tough line cause damn that was hard
This is definitely one of my (if not my absolute) favorite monologues from a show or movie. And, Pedro Pascal just delivers and performs it absolutely incredibly.
Here's the whole transcript,
She's immune. Ellie. She got infected, but she didn't get sick. Tommy. Tommy. I saw her get bit myself. That was months ago. Months. She's immune.
("From the beginning.") It was Marlene. She hired us to smuggle her to some Fireflies. It went bad. Tess got bit. She made me swear to take the kid. It was her dyin' wish, what the hell was I supposed to do? We made it as far as KC, and then-- You know, she saved my life there... from another kid. Five years ago, I would've destroyed him. But she had to shoot him to save me. 14 years old. Because I was too slow, and too fuckin' deaf to hear him comin'. And I saw... I saw a man kill his own brother... to save her, while I just watched. And today, I thought that dog was gonna tear her apart because it smelled somethin' on her. And all I did was stand there. I couldn't... move. I couldn't think of anything to say. I just-- I was so afraid. You think I can still handle things, but... I'm not who I was. I'm weak. Lately, there are these moments where the fear comes up outta nowhere, and... my heart... feels like it stopped. And I have dreams. Every night. ("What kinda dreams?") I don't know. I can't remember. I just know when I wake up... I've lost somethin'. I'm failin' in my sleep. That's all I do. It's all I've ever done is fail her again and again. ("You want me to take her.") I'm just gonna get her killed. I know it. I know it. I have to leave her. ("Joel.") I mean that's why you took off on me, right? To make up for the things we did? Well, here's your chance to bring your kid into a better world. You're younger than me, you're still strong. You said it yourself, you'll come back. You have to take her. And you can't tell anyone, not even Maria. Tommy, you're the only one I trust. If anyone else sees those bites on her, what's under her skin... they'll shoot her. It's the last thing I'll ever ask of you. I swear.
Joel’s humanity, fear and vulnerability pouring out of him and Tommy just sitting there listening to him like a good brother would. Might be the best scene in the series so far.
This is probably the most accurate and beautiful change from the game to the show. In Tlou, we miss the moment Joel realizes how much, so far, ellie has become important to him. And from the confrontation in the lost ranch to the choice on the horses he looks bipolar. Here, we can see all the progression of his change of heart, showing also all his Weaknesses. It's very much easier to bond with him this way. Well done, Neil.
This
This is an adaption
Was this in the game? No. Would it fit in the game? No. Does that take away *anything* from this scene. *Fuck No*.
A good adaptation, and fucking amazing adaptations, is when a new creator takes whats there, and rather than abiding by strict rules and guidelines, expands upon it, while paying respect to the original.
Can that go wrong sometimes? Yes.
But this?
This makes me cry. This makes my heart turn into stone and then powder and float away into the void. This kills me.
Its so good.
Straight facts 🫡
Bro is spitting so many facts it flooded my apartment fr
I've never agreed to a comment as much as I do now.
Nah it should have been in the game and it would have worked damn well. Should have happened after he and tommy argue.
My favorite thing about the writing in this show is that the show runners and even the characters, especially Joel, understand how difficult it is being old in the apocalypse.
Joel is vulnerable not just because he's with his brother, but because he finally found someone who he can care about again. However, he's smart enough to know that he isn't in his prime and cannot protect her as well as Tommy. Joel isn't nearly as strong as he is in the game, and it's that mortality that makes this version of him all the more endearing.
First time we ever see not just Joel actually admit that his age is becoming a factor, but also show his vulnerable side, to hear him speak of how the last 20 years have affected him. How old is Joel supposed to be in the show? In the game they show he is 52, but has his actual age been mentioned in the show?
I was surprised but Joel does state his age in the show. In episode 4 if I remember correctly. He says he's 56 in the show.
@@JoJo-zd5tm damn, that's one badass 56 year old
@@JoJo-zd5tm well it's 20 years later. And in 2003 he had a teenage daughter. He's going to be 50 absolute minimum. More like mid 50's seems right.
In episode one it’s his birthday and he says he turns 36, so he’s 56 in 2023 Maybe he has even turned 57, since it’s winter time and in episode 1 it looks like it’s in the summer time, but that could just be because of them living in Texas. So he’s 56-57 years old now.
@@brucesnow7125 - That's why it's important to take care of yourself, physically and mentally, especially when you're young, because borrowing unforseen occurrence, how you take of yourself when you're young will be a determining factor in how you age.
I like how his Texan accent is heavier here than usual, because he's talking with his brother.
I read some stupid article by a stupid magazine saying it was a mistake ‘Kin’ was the episode Pedro Pascal submitted for the Emmy for Best Lead Actor. I think for this scene alone that it’s a perfect choice.
I heard that prior to Pedro getting cast, matthew mcconaughey was offered the part of Joel but turned it down. I can picture him preforming this monologue exactly the way Pedro does it. He does a great job of showing Joel’s vulnerable side.
Thank God he said no!
@@taco_stranglerllc8435 If you watch True Detective, there’s a similar monologue his character gives where he talks about going to see his dead daughter in heaven, I thought of that when I saw this scene lmao
Wait MATHEW MCCONAUGHEY was offered the role of Joel?!?! oh DAMN.
@@JoJo-zd5tm Yeah, as far playing the emotional side of Joel, I think he would’ve killed it. Pedro is phenomenal though.
Mathew McConaughey would have been great too.
But I doubt they would have offered to him.
Considering his profile he would have asked way more money than Pedro Pascal who is already getting a hefty pay day.
If Pedro doesn’t get an Oscar for this scene, I’m gonna riot. AMAZING acting… Period.
oscar never nod tv shows
They don't give Oscars for a scene let alone a goddam TV show
This was done so beautifully, better than in the game.
A scene like this wasn't even in the game so its not like you can compare it to anything.
Having Joel let the stress really break him was such an interesting direction. In the game its clear how the section was meant to let out Joel's fear of getting attached to her but in the show its obvious that he is already insanely attached and he is scared he can't be the person to keep her safe because in his eyes he has already let her down too many times.
@jensennguyen02 This scene is in the game smdh go sit down
The university part is very rushed, but Jackson is done perfectly.
@@payneicecold3000No, it isn't. He is telling Tommy she is immune and that Tommy owes him a favor. Then they argue and Tommy threatens him and they get attacked and Ellie runs away. Now you sit down.
@@payneicecold3000 No it isn’t
That's when I knew how deeply he loved her. Pedro Pascal is an AMAZING actor. One of the best of all time.
Tommy sounds just like Tommy from the game
Game: They have a strong argument.
Show: They have an emotional conversation.
This is the equivalent of Arthur breaking down when confiding in the Nun in RDR2. Spectacular acting and Emmy award worthy.
Since he was a playable character, that did all those amazing feats the way we controlled him to do, we sometimes forget that he's only human. Old, tired and broken. This scene made me realize that again, and with much more impact...
This scene was way better then the game. 2:05 I could feel Joel’s pain and how he is frustrated that he no longer in his combat/fighting prime and that age is catching up and his body is failing him. I could feel his internal pain way more then I ever could in the game which makes the game so much better now with this added context. And knowing Joel’s fate next season, this really broke my heart to see Joel so broken, weak, and sad. I was glad Joel got what was coming in part 2 after what he did in Salt Lake City, but now I’m just incredibly conflicted with this added context and scene of how Joel truly feels deep DEEP down. Fuck you neil druckmann for making me feel emotions for video game characters. He really is an evil genius.
I don’t think Joel was the only one in that moment that was morally gray.In the game the surgeon instigated his death by raising the scalpel.Abbey was very much like Joel but sadly never had the awareness or intelligence to realise her mistake until it was far too late.
@@michaelpaterson4595 truth to that. Nobody is a hero. They are just humans driven by pain.
@@everettenjeze6276 I mean if it was me I would want to know why somebody did what they did.Killing Joel and going the way she did was not the way to go as answers could have gone with him if not for Ellie.Also the surgeon was a father and knew Joel was there so it could have been foreseen but he stupidly did the worst thing he could possibly do.
@@michaelpaterson4595 he just wanted to help the world. Wanted his own daughter to live a life free of the infected.
@@michaelpaterson4595 And Ellie did the same causing even more damage. Joel, Ellie and Abby are so similar and have pretty much the same emotional journey.
Well done Pedro, you've made me cry once again. I hope he gets every award for this performance, because wow
Pedro deserve won the award from Oscars and his Mandalorian
Joel’s ptsd from all that raider slaying getting to him
This is probably Pedro's best scene since "I'll be your champion" in game of thrones
Pedro KILLED this scene.
See ? this is how you adapt a video game.
Incredible. Just...Incredible.
This is why I love show Joel more than game Joel. They gave him so much depth and he felt so human in this scene
Pedro Pascal deserves an emmy for this, if not multiple
This scene made my younger brother and I cry. Pedro Pascal`s acting did really good job.
Pedro is giving us a master class in the art of acting.
“I just know that when I wake up, I’ve lost something, I’m failing in my sleep, that’s all I’ve ever done..again and again”
The whole show has just been *chef's kiss*
I didn't realize what a fantastic character actor Pedro Pascal is. Both he & Bella are just so perfect for their roles with their bond both in reel & real life. I agree with so many other comments - Pedro for a Best Actor Emmy maybe?
It's hard for me to watch my favorite character having a mental breakdown. Even though I knew how this starts and how it will end but this tv series hits different. They get in touch in characters emotion, personal conflict and empathy. I fucking cry on this episode.
Pedro Pascal is Phenomenal.. He TRULY 100% deserves ALL THE AWARDS .. I hope he doesn't get snubbed, this scene alone and how genuine his acting and delivery of words is a masterpiece ❤😭👏🏼
In my personal opinion this scene is equivalent to Mike ehrmantraut’s monologue “I broke my boy” in BCS
It made me tear up for hours 😢 Pedro’s acting is 👌👌👌
I hope the Emmys remember Pedro for this performance.
GIVE this man his Emmy!!!
I wish Joel had been like this in the game. He has trauma, and I feel like it was shown a lot more in the show. The game never really brought up the topic of his feelings or his trauma, even though it’s an important part of his character. Props to the show writers for including this scene
Pedro Pascal merece um Emmy por essa atuação incrível!!
Actually i think this scene was better than the original one, that's not a bad thing, all the contrary, they managed to improve something almost perfect by it's own
Pedro is a master at emotional monologues...reminds me of that scene in got where oberyn tells tyrion he will be his champion. The bonedeep pain that has turned into anger and here joel is terrified because he knows he has already failed one daughter when he was younger and stronger
this
Pedro is absolutely killing it here
Every fathers and every man’s fear.
Failing those we love ❤
I love how uncomfortable and sad Tommy is to see his big brother, a strong, stoic man who protected him for years breakdown and sob in front of him.
Man, Pedro Pascal is one of the best actors of this generation, I can't barely breath every time I watch this scene. Pedro is a gift from the Gods
Twitter is the worst thing ever bc some people were clowning on this moment so hard calling it "forced" or "obvious" for Joel to basically lay out his character arc like this.
It's mainly been game players I've noticed trashing the dialogue. I haven't played the game myself, but from the little that I have seen there's still seems to be quite a lot of back and forth between Joel and Ellie.
But it makes sense for the story? And for the character(s)? Joel has gone through such a traumatic few months losing Tess, Bill, Frank, Henry, and Sam while keeping it all bottled up. It makes sense that when he's finally with Tommy, someone he trusts, that he would finally let the floodgates open. Let's just be grateful that we have an actor of Pedro Pascal's character as Joel and that he has this kind of material to work with.
Stop cutting f*cking onions
Holy shit this scene is so powerful
I saw a comment somewhere that they were not convinced by Pedro's acting in this scene and I'm convinced they're clinically insane
I never saw the show but this scene between Joel and Tommy hurt my heart and showed a softer side of Him
I like it when a guy shows his emotions and even cried
So instead of a heated argument like in the game joel opens his guts out… 😢
I like that they build up the PTSD angle in this season itself and portray Joel not just as a badass survivor but an actual broken father in the middle of the season itself, gives a more human angle to his story... makes sense for what's coming next season
