r/euphoria

It’s hard to take Alamo seriously as a threat because he’s not cold blooded. He doesn’t seem to be a very good business man either…

A real gangster would have killed Rue a long time ago (not that she adds much value to the organization as it is). Any suspicion of a rat in a new member of the crew is a liability.

Additionally, he had Laurie’s whole crew surrounded, and they had literally shot one of his guys and robbed him. If you’re not going to kill them then, you’re not going to kill them. Laurie met him at his place with a business proposition (no idea why she would do that unless she knows he’s soft). I would accept him listening to the proposition, killing them, and running the entire operation without them.

Im not a violent person but damn…did anyone really think he was gonna knock her head off with a polo club? What a weirdo.

Has this been addressed in the show? We know she isn’t living with her mom and obviously doesn’t have a personal home address. Do we just assume she has a room somewhere in Alamo’s mansion or does she just crash on his couch? Also where are her clothes does she have a dresser or anything??

Have y’all ever watched an HBO show before? In fact, have you ever watched any tv show, ever?? HBO has always had explicit nudity and graphic material. Yes, even to this degree, and in some instances, even more! I feel like i’m going insane seeing the outrage and commentary over this show and season. I promise you, you don’t have to watch it and you don’t have to like it. This is not the first show on television to take a left turn in terms of storylines, style, etc. shit happens. Touch grass (respectfully).

That’s my rant. But seriously, please everyone take a step back and remember that it’s literally not that deep. This is a television show. A fake show made by flawed people. If you like it, great. If you don’t, then it’s not for you.

I’ll start this off by saying obviously there is fetish shit in it, in Cassie’s storyline, because that’s what online sex work entails. You cater to your fans fetishes and interests. And I can see in some of her scenes, there is probably integrated some appealing aspects. I won’t deny this, that’s kind of a given there.

But, as a person who was in this industry, in the dark sides, not the glamorised side that is being shown on purpose in that light and juxtaposition, seeing so many people discuss the reality behind this industry and trafficking is disgusting to me. Labelling Kitty being sexually assaulted as “fetish”, or anything that is too uncomfortable for them to enjoy. Some parts, such as the balloon scene, is played on longer in my opinion to be disgusting. It’s meant to make you uncomfortable, because it’s a bad fucking thing. It comes off as so privileged and ignorant to label everything in this season, which is honestly less sexual than the last two imo if not the same, as “fetish”. Not only are you taking away from a story and point that is important, overshadowed, and needs to be talked on, but you’re also twisting this reality into being nothing more than a fetish. It’s so disgusting to see.

You are meant to feel uncomfortable by this, you are supposed to feel disgusted, you are supposed to feel put off. You aren’t meant to enjoy it. It’s such a privileged and awful mentality to label anything you cannot handle as fetish. Things like this are true and real, this kind of shit is happening to people on a regular basis. You have the privilege to feel disgusted by it and turn your tv off, they don’t. Be sensitive if you’re gonna talk about this shit, cuz it’s awful reading the shit you guys are saying.

Sorry for the rant but jfc the people watching this season need to drop this narrative. Coming from someone who was on BOTH sides of this industry.

PLEASE why is this show so Cassie-centric.

Every 5 seconds we have to look at her boobs or hear about her SW, and I just could not care less. I get it, Sam Levinson. You are obsessed with Sydney Sweeney and her huge boobs. Get a grip, good grief. I haven't watched in 2 weeks because it was getting old, catching up now and it is getting even more obnoxious.

It's been so long since S2 and I don't remember it well enough, but I don't remember her husband or her crew being white supremacists or rednecks. Am I misremembering?

Her behaviour towards Rue on S06E06 was absolutely vile, she was so violent both physically and emotionally? I haven't rewatched the previous seasons in a while, but this got me off-guard a bit. Was she ever like this?

It also makes me so sad that Rue genuinely wants an honest life now (the talking about kids, etc) and Jules mocks and almost degrades her for it.

Once again, this isn't what I want to happen but it's just the funniest way I can imagine Euphoria ending, outside of a "it was all just a dream Rue had while in a coma" ending. The true "Sam spiting everyone for calling him a misogynistic hack" ending.

Ready?

All the main characters die except Lexi. Rue gets killed in the crossfire between Laurie and Alamo. Maddy gets killed by Alamo because that man has like a hundred guns on him and Maddy is only 23 and has only manipulated dumb ppl like Cassie, there's no way she can outplay a criminal like Alamo. Nate either dies from all those infections he caught from losing his toes and fingers or just offs himself because he realizes that even if he gets out of debt, the only thing he can look forward to is married life with Cassie and that's not fucking worth it. Cassie kills herself because Nate is dead. Ellis reveals that he's a wannabe serial killer and kills Jules because that happens a lot to trans sex workers and gets away with it because he's rich.

After attending a long succession of funerals, Lexi finally knows what she is meant to do: write. She spends weeks writing screenplays about the ugly lives and deaths of her friends and family. Final scene will be that random acquaintance she had in Episode 6 reading the scripts and telling her "this feels misogynistic and exploitative, are you sure you wanna go through with this?" Lexi goes a monologue about how the shit she writes is real life, which doesn't give a shit about politics or hurting your feelings and that if you watch her show and think "this is unrealistic" then maybe YOU'RE the noob who hasn't lived a real life and how totally isn't Sam ranting at the audience at this point, this is totally all Lexi, yup. And then the final line of the series is Lexi finally calling Fez and asking him "if someone made a film about your life, which actor would you want to cast to play you?"

Roll credits.
