I think this scene gets to so many people is because, besides the superb acting, too many of us have asked ourselves this question as children. Why weren't we good enough? What was so wrong with us that they didn't love us? Why weren't we worth it for dad to stay in our lives? What was so hard about being with us? That's why all of us ride or die for Uncle Phil. He was the father we never had.

“To hell with him” always is the deal maker to make my eyes water
-
First things first, Rest In Peace Uncle Phil...
-
“You’re my son, Will. End of discussion.”
Uncle Phil in the final episode -
The way he says his full name “James Avery” you can tell how much respect he has for him
-
That part when he screamed "to hell with him!" You can just feel the chilled silence.
-
“I never really liked Will Smith”
- Absolutely no one -
You know a scene is extremely powerful when you have watched it at least 30 times over the years and it still brings tears to your eyes.
-
That scene was when Will Smith crossed the threshold of comedian to actor.
-
It’s good acting when the audience cries with you.
-
This is why James Avery is always talked about with respect. By far one of the best tv dads of all time.
-
No child should ever have to ask the question "How come he don't want me?" 😔😔
-
Thats how you know the acting was good when you hear the people behind the scenes crying 😭👏🏾👏🏾
-
Who still cried?🖐🏾
-
I can never watch this scene again without saying “that’s f*cking acting right there” 😂 when he hugs him
-
I like how uncle Phil let's him go through his emotions before stepping in. He needed that outlet to scream and cry. I also like how Will said "their ain't nothing he can teach me about how to LOVE my kids." By saying "love" rather than "raise" it implies that Will knows that if u love ur kids then u will raise them right. Some people raise kids without loving them. If u love ur kids, u will raise them the best u can.

James Avery made Will Smith as the actor he is now, he wasn't just Will's TV Uncle, he was Will's real-life mentor of becoming an actor
God rest James Avery -
He was called Uncle Phil, but we knew him as Wills Dad
-
Will Smith was amazing in that scene, yes, but check out James Avery's face during it. You can just see Uncle Phil's heart breaking because the nephew he loves is in so much pain and he can't do anything to fix it. RIP, James Avery. You will always be THE Shreddar to me.

James Avery. A father to both Will Smith and Will Smith.
