Serena deserves a nasty ending too
I’m currently in Season 3 ep 2. I was going through some of the posts in this sub and naturally happened to read some spoilers. I found out that Serena doesn’t suffer a bad fate, rather she gets to escape with June (and Noah? i’m assuming she has a child later on). I’ve hated Serena from the beginning, as much as I’ve seen and felt for the gender-based oppression bestowed on her. She’d been cruel to June and beat and abused and been a prime associate in her getting 🍇ed and didn’t see a problem with it (though she clearly knows it was 🍇 herself from her convicting Fred in season 2). And yet June always seems to put up with her toxic double persona and proceeds to even accept her to have sm love for her baby whom she refused to let June nurse or even touch. It’s crazy how June feels for her and consider her as anything better than the rest. She in fact was one of the prime members for the forming of the Gilead and its spread. What was she expecting when she preaches a fascist regime and acts hurt when her rights are taken away and realises her children can’t have a good life there? Bro you brought it upon yourself. I genuinely couldn’t understand the complex nature of her or the way she is being portrayed a victim rather especially when the scenes that showed her literally assaulting June made me sick to my stomach.
edit: one of the other reasons i cannot see June as the protagonist she’s portrayed to be- when she proceeds to rename her daughter from HOLLY to Nichole? suddenly everything this woman did has vanished to thin air now?! peak rage bait. I must say I will not be continuing the show as it is painfully slow paced as i proceed only consisting of June, which i don’t have a problem with if it had any depth to her character except for the annoyingly close up long shots of her.
