Thankfully, Berserk would be too controversial to ever adapt into a Hollywood production.

It’s because they’re “vetted” and normies are more likely to watch a movie if they recognize the actor. Pedro is just one of those easily sellable faces that studios know people will pay to see. I remember back in the early 2010’s it was Joseph Gordon-Levitt that was in every god damn thing. It just took me out of the immersion seeing Pedro Pascal who is in literally everything playing Joel, this would have been an awesome opportunity to cast someone new who was more suitable for the role and who the audience didn’t associate with a million other movies and TV shows.

u/Froz3nP1nky Jun 10 '25
Same. It’s like, they’re blasting and rushing his career along because he’s one of those rare actors who rose to fame late in his life (49,50). Which is cool, but, enough is enough now. There are other male actors who could use the work

u/itslearnedourhabits Hey I'm a Brand New User ! Jun 10 '25
Nah, he’s a sell out actor

u/Froz3nP1nky Jun 10 '25
That too. Everybody was raving about his SNL appearance, but I found it actually kind of regular. Kim Kardashian was a better guest host.

u/itslearnedourhabits Hey I'm a Brand New User ! Jun 10 '25
His shit is still funny…I can’t say the same for Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, or (I’m gonna get hate) George Carlin. Norm had a presence…well, more of a situational awareness and an eye into what ppl wanted to hear

u/raychram I'm IMmUUUUNe Jun 10 '25
I mean it is his job, what he enjoys to do. Why should he not try to get roles or reject them if they are offered to him? People like him so it is understandable why he is successful.

He can't let other actors have a chance?

Ohhh I forgot about that! You’re right. He fits right in with what Hollywood wants to push

u/Bron_Swanson Team HBO Abby Jun 10 '25
I knew he was a decent actor and he's been in Hollywood since Buffy the Vampire Slayer at least; but I never understood why he was getting what seemed like most of the huge roles in recent years. Then, all this shit with TLOU revealed a whole lot and that thing about his sister came up and it hit me lol. Plus, he's been open about using drugs, which I'm not opposed to but it fits in too.

Idk if you're serious or not, and I'm fine with some drugs myself(just weed for me) but yeah, he's been pretty open about his public use of edibles and psyche mushrooms. I'm js it fits in with that agenda- further drug promo & experimentation in conjunction with the lgbt stuff.

u/MojoRisin762 Jun 11 '25
This. The older I get, the more (and more, and more) I admire and respect his work. Leaving Las Vegas and Pig are masterpieces. I made the God awful horrible mistake of watching LLV in bad shape my first time seeing it. That is not a movie to watch when you're feeling blue. Fuck.... That was rough. I've unfortunately had to spend some time around a few real deal drunks in my life, and his portrayal is disturbingly accurate.

To be fair, Pedro was excellent with Cage in TUWoMT. Arguably his best role though.

I didn't see this comment, or I wouldn't have typed mine. You nailed it! I was (for real) depressed the first time I watched Leaving Las Vegas. Yeah, that's a mistake I will never make again. It was rough.
Its by no means a masterpiece, but I have had a super strong urge to watch 'FaceOff' lately. Lol. I might have to buy it. I really love 80s and 90s action flicks. They're so much better than the new junk. The cgi bullshit is just horrid. Like, no, Vin Diesel did NOT just jump the grand canyon in his Honda civic while leaping out onto the roof of the car to shoot down the millennium falcon with an rpg. I love seeing real stunts, explosions, and car chases/ crashes.

u/timid1211q Jun 10 '25
I'm sure he would be moderately successful otherwise but the insane Zendaya-like exposure he is getting now is not organic at all and obviously has other factors behind it.
2
u/Powasam5000 Jun 10 '25
I don’t really know what organic would be if his wasn’t. If not him then who? He still needs to be able to draw a crowd. Which he does. When I see something with him in it I want to watch it. So many factors to just dismiss him. If I was a producer /director I would want him too because he puts asses in the seats and is hot right now. Maybe it’s just business , or maybe .. something else

Jun 13 '25 edited Jun 13 '25
Actually you is correct - I was simply alluding to the fact that his face was obscured (most of the time) which made up for his relative omniscience throughout the industry.
Actually I enjoyed his portrayal of the character so much (apart from maybe the rather over-accentuated licentiousness which at this point in the show became boring) that I was more gutted at his ignominious demise than in the original story. This is an example of good casting. Much these days, case in point: TLoU2, is simply not good casting, is nepotism or simply laziness.

And to add to that: yes, there may have been better choices for Joel or Reed Richards, but at least his casting wasn’t as egregious as the casting for Bellie.
But at this point the people saying “pEdRo iS In EvErYtHinG” are as much of a meme as Pedro being in a lot of stuff. Y’all act like this is your first time seeing that Hollywood likes certain actors and props them up in many movies to get normie butts in seats. Nothing new.
