Pedro Pascal jokingly reacts to one of the most brutal moments in The Last of Us season 2: "I'm going to start playing golf"
Critical spoilers for the second season of The Last of Us and the game's sequel are in the news!
The second episode of the second season of The Last of Us not only continued the tense story, but also recreated one of the most brutal moments of the video game on which the series is based. Nevertheless, the role of Joel, played by Pedro Pascal, who is loved by many, reacted to this event with surprisingly cheerful humour, which slightly softens the pain of loss.
Here's What We Know
In the episode, Joel is beaten to death with a golf club by Abby, played by Caitlin Dever, in revenge for the murder of her father in the first season. For those who have played the original game, this was no surprise, as Joel's death is one of the most famous and emotional moments of the second part.
Pedro Pascal himself took another death of his character with surprising ease, jokingly comparing it to his gruesome death in Game of Thrones, where Oberyn Martell's head was crushed with his bare hands.
"I think it's the best (murder scene)," Pascal jokingly told Entertainment Weekly, "No, it competes, I think, with Game of Thrones. I like the golf club. I'm going to start playing golf.
Joel's death did not come as a surprise to Pascal, as he was warned about it at the beginning of the series. Nevertheless, this moment had a huge emotional impact on the set.
"It was part of the deal. They said: "Don't worry, you're going to die". And I said: "Okay, I agree!" Pascal jokes. "I just think the series is based on very specific source material, and it was always part of the pitch that we would go all out in the first season, shoot 11-12 months in Alberta, and then in the second season, it would take a completely different shape. And that's exactly what happened."
The viewers will have to endure this painful loss and watch the further development of events in the second season of The Last of Us, which promises to be no less intense and emotional.
