'The Last of Us' - Season 1 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | January 15, 2023

I'm a huge Pedro fan, but the first two seasons of The Mandalorian all anyone cared about was Baby Yoda and call backs to the original trilogy

Done right, not only should this get him Emmy nods, but it will have him in the A-list leading actor role. Great thing, not only for diversity, but also for hopefully more quality video game adaptations to the big and small screens.

You could put anyone under the helmet and the show wouldn't skip a beat. Pascal brings nothing to The Mandalorian.

Idk, I thought even behind the mask Pedro brought a certain type of energy I don't think any other actor could've replicated. He had that ice cold western bounty hunter vibe to him and something about his voice () really made you feel mandos emotions when the time for that came

 

[Chris Cool]

Pedro can't act now? He ain't kill it as the red viper?


Bu, bu, but they cast him for diversity.

Sounding just like them white boys.

Hollywood will find a way to fukkup a good story

I expect them to insert shims & other bs next

this is why I never had an issue with the casting when I heard he was playing Joel, he’s got great emotional range with displaying anger/sadness

They already have Neil for that

Neil?

 

[HiiiPower]

Neil?

Neil Druckmann, Last of Us Writer/Naughty Dog President, also EP and writer for the show...known for pandering for LGBT

the second game had a trans storyline shoehorned in for literally no reason whatsoever, despite that I think alot of the complaints about the games story are dumb as fukk, I completely agree that this particular plot point I’m referring to was blatant pandering and completely unnecessary

 

[CBalla]

Oh yea that shyt came outta nowhere

If the end of the world comes , 99% of the liberal bullshyt is gonna cease .. so the odds of runnin up on a tranny kid

HBO rarely misses. IF this was a movie, that's one thing but this is HBGOAT.

People still doubt the GOAT? they find out.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Can the viper pull off a Texan accent?

ya any other network and I might’ve questioned some of the shyt...with HBO it’s easy for me to just chill, wait and see

He didn't sound bad in that Kingsman movie.

 

[MidniteJay]

He didn't sound bad in that Kingsman movie.

He had a southern drawl in Prospect. I don't care for southern accents but he didn't sound corny to me. I think he can pull it off he's coached.

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

Who cares about the accent? As long as it is not too far off base....The more important thing is can he pull off the depth and emotion the character presents to the story?

Sean Penn's Boston accent wasn't that good in Mystic River but he was still great in the movie. People focus too much on the little outer shyt than they do the subtle things when it comes to acting.. Just because someone can put on a Yugoslavian accent while dressed up like a clown or whatever...doesn't make it a great performance.
