Joel from The Last Of Us, played by Pedro PascalThis article contains spoilers for the Last Of Us.If you’re raising teens, you might’ve watched the first episode of The Last Of Us (season 2) with interest – and maybe even a touch of dismay.The show gives viewers a glimpse of a fractured relationship between Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a pair who, while not biologically related, have established a father-daughter bond. Throughout the episode we see how Ellie is increasingly shutting Joel out of her life and wants space, autonomy and freedom.Meanwhile Joel is increasingly overprotective and overbearing – he tries to protect Ellie by giving indirect orders that she can’t do certain things (like not allowing her to go on recons), but she goes and does them anyway.He also punches someone who is homophobic towards her when she kisses her best friend (turned love interest) Dina at a New Year’s party.
