If Fez Or Rue Die I'm Calling Zendaya

My Thoughts on 2x04

Alright, so I’m back from rewatching the episode and I gotta say, this is my LEAST favorite episode by far:

1) Elliot being fuckin grimy as hell. Like the fact that he not only broke the bro code and made out with Rue’s gf, but then snitch on her?? Then trying to play innocent like “I just got tired of lying to you 🥺🥺 I’m so sorry” like bruh, fuck off. I actually liked Elliot at first thought he was cool the first two episodes but the more he opens his mouth, the more I begin to dislike him 💀

2) I absolutely HATE what Sam’s doing with Kay’s character. Like seriously, if we’re not not hearing her whine about how much she hates being with Ethan, we don’t see much of her at all throughout the episodes, and she only had like 5 lines this episode

3) Cassie being Cassie, and completely over the whole love triangle within their storylines. Her getting so drunk to a point where she starts throwing up on everyone and completely losing it, while her mom does nothing? (Although, what can you expect from her when she’s an alcoholic)

4) Fezco barely being in the episode at all, and I just KNEW we were gonna be well fed with Lexco content tonight lmao at this point I feel like all we have left is them having their lil moment on the couch and that being that

5) They gave Cal wayyyy too much screen time than needed. Like, the man is a predator…no one wants to see this fuckin creep take up majority of the episode with him having a fucking meltdown over how he hates his family. I hope he stays gone after this episode

6) Jules cheating on Rue, not only after disliking the fact that she and Elliot were even friends, but after going on about how she was no longer interested in men 🙃🙃 plus her getting upset at Rue for drinking when it was stupid to have her tag along in the first place, knowing that she’s an addict. I don’t hate Jules, but I don’t know if I can defend her anymore lol

7) Is it just me, or do a lot of scenes get cut and not make it to the episode??? Like, wasn’t there supposed to be a scene where the girls are all taking a picture on the staircase (or did I miss that part?) then I could’ve SWORN we were supposed to get at least another scene with Fezco, which also makes me wonder why we didn’t get that couch scene with him and Lexi. I would hope it didn’t get cut out, because what was the point of hyping them up so much in the trailers?

Overall, I’m dissatisfied with tonight’s episode and the storyline just gets progressively worse week by week, and I have a huge feeling that by the time we reach episode 8, we will NOT be happy. In conclusion, I’m gonna have to give this episode a 3/10

THE PROMO? NO. I REFUSE

I REALLY JUST SAW SOMEONE SAY MIKES LOVE CONFESSION TO EL WAS PLATONIC IM DYING

Thoughts on season 2 of Euphoria so far

I think this season for the most part is messy as fuck writing wise tbh.

I by no means hate this season. There are alot of things they are doing really well.

Episode 1 and episode 5 are by far the best written and directed.

But Episodes 2-4 were all over the place ngl. And the amount of plot holes and character assassination hurts my soul ngl

But is it entertaining? Yes.

Is the cinematography outstanding? Yes.

Fez and lexi? Yes.

So imma keep watching but if they kill fez I will stop I stg

Since the show put this eternal debate about the validity of Joel's decision back on track, I wanted to talk about it and explain why Joel was right. Note that I'm not talking about Joel's reasons so don't tell me "yes, but Joel wasn't thinking about that so...", that's not the issue. The issue is his decision in itself.

Btw, I specify here that I talk about the show but considering its fidelity to the games, my arguments also work concerning them.

So... let's take a look at Ellie. Firstly, she was unconscious at the time. There's just no way to justify that. Marlene or the fans who defend the Fireflies can speculate all they want about what Ellie would have wanted, the truth is that we fucking don't know. We know for sure that she wanted to help produce a cure, but at the time, no one knew that this would require opening her head and killing her.

If Marlene was so sure of what she's claiming here, she would have woken up Ellie to give her the choice. But she didn't because she knows it's bullshit she's saying to convince both Joel and herself.

I'm sure I'll be objected that in TLOU 2, Ellie blamed Joel for preventing her from dying on the operating table and that given the fidelity of the series to the games, this will surely be the case in the next season. Yeah but that's irrelevant too, it's not the same Ellie. In a few years, especially during adolescence, we change a lot.

Then, since we're talking about Ellie's consent, I would like to remind you that regardless of whether she was conscious or not, she's a 14 year old girl. I have the impression that too many people tend to forget that, no one at that age can make the decision to sacrifice their life with full knowledge of what they're giving up and with the maturity to think about it properly. Especially when the 14 year old girl in question is victim of survivor's guilt after having seen several of her close ones die.

For those who have trouble visualizing what I'm saying, I'll make an analogy : If an adult slept with a 14 year old and the latter justified herself to you by saying that she was consenting and that it was her choice, would you find this relevant ? Of course not, because almost everyone knows that there are decisions that children/teenagers can't consent to !

Now that was just about Ellie, but what about the cure ? Because in spite of all the utilitarian debates about whether or not Ellie needs to be killed for the greater good, we're forgetting one essential point : What proves that the Fireflies could have made a cure ? Because whether it's in the games or in the show, there's no real evidence of that. Even the Fireflies don't know anything about it, Marlene and the others directly assume that they will be able to create a vaccine from Ellie's Cordyceps even though they barely had time to do some tests on her while she was unconscious.

Hey you know what ? Even Marlene implicitly admits that they don't know about it : "Our doctor… he thinks that the Cordyceps in Ellie has grown with her since birth (…) He thinks it could be a cure, Joel."

They literally had no plan or certainties, they didn't even take the time to conduct any in-depth study of Ellie, of her blood for example to find a way to produce a vaccine without killing her. They just chose the easiest solution out of impulsivity without worrying for a single minute about the opinion and safety of the concerned one.

Whether it was for the greater good or not, all of Marlene's justifications are based on biased assumptions and intellectual dishonesty. Joel hurt many people and was wrong about a lot of things but certainly not about stopping reckless morons from butchering his 14 year old daughter.

I'm shit at making edits but I just had to make one for this mf scene.

Ash..... Like Why. Just why.

Now wait a minute-

I have a feeling in the letter that Fez wrote for Lexi was him asking her to be official aka boyfriend & girlfriend 😭😭😭😭

Why does she look so mad 💀
