Even moreso than the games, Joel is the biggest reason anyone watches the show. Killing him off is going to go even worse than it did before because, unlike the games, you need people to come back the next week instead of already having their one-done purchase.
But I feel extremely strongly Druckmann will mess with the story from here rather than just play it straight. Likely to double down and make it even more malicious.
They gave Joel brain damage in the show. Him being alive isn't enough to entice watching let alone them killing him off. He's already functionally a vegetable with Ellie doing everything of meaning
Yeah but hot daddy Pascal is a major draw on its own, which is why I think they won't kill him. He is a massive name right now and likely one of the biggest reasons people watched in the first place.
They can demean and humiliate him all they want, but killing him is a whole different risk to their ability to draw a crowd.
Pascal has a seemingly unsmudged reputation, too. Usually with Hollyweird actors, there's some degeneracy either right out in the open or more on the kiddy-didling side of things.
Considering he went from middle popularity to massive star in numerous massive projects, he almost certainly did something degenerate in the background that we will learn later.
