very similar face to joel , he wud have been the best choice i thinkBetter fit
Better fit based on the looks... but Pedro is much more suited actor to play Joel.Better fit
But can he grow a proper beard instead of a barely acceptable moustache?
He would have nailed the singing parts too
Nah I disagree. Having half the fucking GoT cast in Suits was annoying enough.Game of Thrones peeps through the roof
Good pick
I know it's just a rumor and most likely won't happen.
But i do love the double standards of the people defending this.
If it was the other way around, the same people would sing a different song, probably on another forum.
Intimidated? Strange choice of word. Did people say they were intimidated or are you just being melodramatic because people wanted the character to stay the same as the game.I hope the people who were intimidated by the notion of a black man playing Joel are at ease now.
This thread is quite incredible. It was started at 8:30am Sydney time and by 5:30pm Sydney it garnered 416 comments because apparently a black man was playing Joel. Come 5:30pm and it's revealed that Pedro was actually cast and there have only been 13 posts since.
It's 7:43pm Sydney time, 13 posts in just over 2 hours.
Do some people here really hate black people that much? Why is there no continued outrage over Pedro?
I really don’t think this going for woke points.
Seems many care its a black dude.....which is dumb.

If the actor can play the role.
Thats it.
Lol never saw this one.

What the fuck are you even crying about? Everything is woke that, woke this. SJWs are doing this, doing that. It must be so hard to live in this nightmare world. Does it ever get tiring using a catch-all term that you use to describe anything that triggers you?The absolute state of the woke apologists.
It's like the people who constantly claimed there was nothing woke in TLOU2, literally contradicting and willfully ignoring the public words of it's creator.
The part is a rough-looking and stern male with a certain intensity and an imposing ruggedness. I'm sorry you can't imagine Joel as a character beyond his skin color. Your analogy is complete shit. Ali whatever? Yeah, I feel bad about how triggered you were about a black dude playing the role.They should have hired Peter Dinklage for the role, it's a much better actor than Ali whatever. Also, Jim Parsons as Ellie.
To act in any role, you must look the part.
There was nothing "woke" about hiring a highly praised actor for the role. I'm sorry if it would make the people you dislike happy. A role that the actor's race had nothing to do with the character. Pedro Pascal also isn't the same ethnicity as Joel. Are you gonna cry about that as well?
This has nothing to do with anything, he was the best choice for the role, at least the casting directors thought so.Please no. I don't get this obsession to change the race of the characters.
I have seen him only in The Mandalorian(I'm now on E6/S1) so I don't know much about him but I can see him as Joel.
You can’t relate to someone if they aren’t the same skin color as you?Do you guys have a woke training center? You are trying to gaslight people here, saying there's nothing woke about hiring a non white person, and yet suggesting people are racists if they don't like it. Just admit that this is a woke move, a character's looks are incredibly important to how we relate to them, we are visual beings, no amount of women studies will change that fact about human nature.
Tbh, a topic with all the gifs kinda ruin the surprise of when i see a new one used in the right occasion...stay tuned

Most black characters is CREATED AROUND THEIR RACE, white folks, not so much due to what's default. Now do I like when they swap races? No."It’s no big deal to race swap a white character"
Watch this same people lose their shit if it was tthe other way around.
Correction - they assigned relevance to a trait that was, by-and-large, irrelevant to the character. It's not like Joel's skin color is as significant to the narrative and its themes as, say, Black Panther's is. Regardless of ethnicity, an amazing black actor would've been better than a mediocre white actor in my opinion, not to say that this current actor is or anything like that.Intimidated? Strange choice of word. Did people say they were intimidated or are you just being melodramatic because people wanted the character to stay the same as the game.
I heard Gina was looking for a new gigAre they getting The Mountain to play Abbey?
Based on how they cased Ellie, unlikely. They are suppose to be around the same age.I heard Gina was looking for a new gig
