The Last Of Us Joel Ellie Flashback Pedro Pascal Reactions

The Last Of Us Joel Ellie Flashback Pedro Pascal Reactions

Buzz Feed19-05-2025
Whelp, this week's The Last of Us was another emotionally devastating one, and arguably the best of the season. The newest episode titled "The Price," was written by Neil Druckmann, Halley Gross, and Craig Mazin, and directed by Neil. Halley and Neil are notably the writers behind The Last of Us Part II game.
The episode utilized all flashbacks to showcase Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) relationship and what exactly caused the rift between the two of them that we see at the beginning of Season 2. The episode delivered some big moments from the game, like Joel gifting Ellie a guitar for her birthday, and singing "Future Days."
It also included one of the most beautiful scenes from The Last of Us Part II, which is when Joel surprises Ellie for her birthday by taking her to a space museum.
Of course, while the father-daughter happy moments are some of the best, The Last of Us also delivered some soul-crushing moments. Like, what exactly led to Joel killing Eugene (Joe Pantoliano), and Ellie realizing that he lied about what happened with the Fireflies.
While the whole episode is a testament to Neil and Halley's love of the story, and Pedro and Bella's undeniable chemistry, it's the famous porch scene that really makes this episode a bittersweet masterpiece, with us learning that Ellie and Joel actually did talk after the dance (the night before his death).
So, naturally, because this was such a huge episode, fans — like me — took to Twitter to voice their opinions over this latest episode, make some incredible jokes, and give A+ commentary about "The Price." So, here are some of the best tweets about The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6:

Zach Bryan slammed by fellow country singer who doubts the truth behind his image

Country singer Gavin Adcock is calling out fellow artist Zach Bryan. Adcock didn't hold back his thoughts on Bryan in a new interview - he slammed the "Something in the Orange" singer for his alleged rude response to a 14-year-old fan who was disappointed after one of his concerts, then called his character into question. "It wasn't about not wanting to sign autographs after a show, it's like letting a 14-year-old kid rant, without saying, 'Get off my d---.' You're bigger than that," Adcock said on the "Rolling Stone Nashville Now" podcast. The rising star and former college football player additionally accused Bryan of hiding behind a certain image, saying, "I think that Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life … sometimes he can't help but rip it off and show his true colors. I don't know if Zach Bryan's really that great of a person." Last month, a young fan who waited for hours after a show in hopes of getting an autograph from Bryan took to TikTok, according to Whiskey Riff, and wrote, "We waited 3 hours outside to meet Zach Bryan … he completely blew everyone off and drove away like a jerk." Bryan reportedly replied in a now-deleted comment, "You're not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello. GOMD [Get off my d---]." Adcock's comments come after he additionally called out Bryan on X, formerly known as Twitter, for the same issue. Last month, he wrote, "If you can't handle the criticism of a 14 year old why do people idolize you?" "That kid was head over heels to meet you and spent/ parents spent a ton of money to see you. He's got feeling too and a you're a 'grown man' nearly 30 … They're the only reason you are around." Reps for Adcock and Bryan did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Meanwhile, Adcock previously slammed Beyoncé for releasing a country album. In July, Adcock brought up the Apple Music country album chart rankings during his performance. At the time, Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" was listed at No. 3, while his album, "Own Worst Enemy," sat at No. 4. "One of them's Beyoncé. You can tell her we're coming for her f---in' a--," he said in a fan video. "That s--- ain't country music, and it ain't ever been country music." The "Run Your Mouth" singer later made it clear his criticisms weren't personal in a social media video he captioned, "It ain't country." "I'm going to go ahead and clear this up," he said on X. "When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I've heard a ton of Beyoncé songs and I actually remember her Super Bowl Halftime Show being pretty kick-a-- back in the day. "But I really don't believe her album should be labeled as country music. It doesn't sound country, it doesn't feel country… I just don't think that people that have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just stay at the top just because she's Beyoncé."

No, Sydney Sweeney's ‘great jeans' ad isn't a Nazi dog whistle

Of all the threats to American democracy these days, Sydney Sweeney's blue jeans aren't one of them. If you've logged on to Twitter, TikTok or any other social media platform, you've seen chatter swirling around American Eagle's jeans advertisement with the 'Euphoria' star. And a lot of it is fueling the outrage machine. The American Eagle ad showcases the actress wearing a denim jacket and jeans with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' What should've been an ad campaign for jeans has American Eagle being accused of giving off 'Nazi' vibes. The ad is a pun — a play on words (jeans/genes) to sell jeans. Yet according to internet critics, it has been labeled an endorsement of eugenics — the discredited bigoted theory that the human population can be perfected by selective breeding. One X user posted 'the American Eagles ad wasn't just a commercial. It was a love letter to white nationalism and eugenic fantasies, and Sydney Sweeney knew it.' Such hyperbolic reactions are why American Eagle is being accused of promoting racial purity in its ad — highlighting Sweeney's blue eyes and blonde hair is seen by some as a nod to white nationalism. That's not cultural critique — that's ideological fan fiction. The viral nature of this controversy shows how quickly outrage can spread. Over 220,000 Tiktok videos have been tagged with #SydneySweeney and one user commented that Sweeney's ad was 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while. When those traits are consistently uplifted as genetic excellence, we know where this leads. This just echoes pseudoscientific language of racial superiority.' Critics are upset because, in the ad, Sweeney says, 'genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' The outrage is misplaced. The ad is a pun. Not a dog whistle. I recognize the importance of calling out white supremacy propaganda, but this is not it. Seeing a denim ad as a secret endorsement for Nazism minimizes real threats and distracts from actual problems. This is not Mein Kampf in marketing form. For context, this isn't the first time denim has sparked controversy. In the 1980s, Calvin Klein ran a jeans ad featuring Brooke Shields. At the time, Shields was a 15-year-old model and the tagline she recited was, 'You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.' Shields' ad was met with backlash by critics for being too sexually suggestive, resulting in the commercial being banned in some countries and on local American affiliates of ABC, NBC and CBS. But here's the difference: the backlash over Shields' ad was rooted in serious concerns about the oversexualization of a teenager. Today's moral panic over Sweeney is about virtue signaling. There's a human cost to attacks by the digital mob. During an Instagram Live, Sweeney was seen crying over the backlash she's received on social media. 'I think it's really important for people to see how words actually affect people,' she said. She's right. The social media machine exists on a diet of anger and hate over perceived slights that exist in the minds of critics determined to find offense where none exists. This manufactured crisis becomes even more absurd when you consider serious problems demanding our attention. With real crises affecting millions around the world — from war to starvation to actual threats to democratic institutions — the upset over a perceived subtext in an ad for denim peddled by a blonde-haired blue-eyed actress seems a bit misplaced. Sweeney isn't promoting hate. She's selling jeans. The outrage says far more about the critics than the campaign. Not everything is a dog whistle — and sometimes, a jean ad is just a jean ad — and recognizing that fact shouldn't be controversial. Mary Anna Mancuso is a member of the Miami Herald Editorial Board.
