The Final Of Us Present Calls Joel Good-looking, The Web Agrees

We’re solely one episode into The Final of Us’ second season and the memes are already flowing, with one line from Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby feeding into the web’s thirst for Joel actor Pedro Pascal.

On reflection, I ought to have anticipated followers to latch onto somebody commenting on Joel’s beauty. When she known as her dad’s killer “good-looking,” one thing she presumably should have heard from individuals who noticed him doing mass homicide, I mentioned “you’re so proper, bestie.” I didn’t assume a lot of it on the time, however now that it’s getting used as a lead-in to thirst edits, I really feel like somebody within the author’s room knew precisely what they had been doing.

In context, the road is sort of foolish. Abby, a lady who would go on to lose years of her life to a violent vendetta in opposition to this man, declaring that witnesses additionally mentioned that he’s handsome, simply feels extra like a understanding nod to the web’s love of Pascal than one thing Abby would ever care to carry up. Additionally, like, what Firefly is telling Abby, after the dying of her father, that the man who shot him was a looker? Why would you say that to a baby? I’m not alone in that sentiment both, as some viewers have additionally expressed their personal disbelief. However my points with the road apart (I swear I’m not gonna be a celebration pooper all season), the reality of this commentary has made it one of many first huge inside jokes of the season.

There are nonetheless six episodes to go this season, so there will likely be a lot extra probabilities for the web to create extra jokes out of the horrible tragedies these characters are about to be put by means of. For extra on the season, take a look at Kotaku’s evaluate.
