Look, as reasonable as these Euphoria takes that you make. I dont particularly mind calling out a blind hater. I dont know what Zendaya did that made you dunk on her/anything Euphoria related everytime you had the chance.

I mean, thats obnoxious IMO

It is not widely agreed, stop lying to yourself. Check the scores on IMDB, on Rotten, on Metacritic, on Insta/YouTube comments, you live in a denial. Your only argument is that children and teens like it, but then your big argument is that Jules and Kat had less screen time?! This is the definition of a bias teen fan. What was widely agreed is that Fez and Lexi were one of the big highlights this season. You definitely have zero idea what you are talking about.

As much as I don’t particularly fond for their hatred against Zendaya/Euphoria-related stuffs , they have valid points.

Season 2 was very.. very flawed. Their points about Kat and Jules are especially spot on. Overall writing its very uneven with lackluster payoff at the finale. I think most video essayist like Karsten Runquist has pointed out how flawed the Sophomore season is

With that being said, it become more popular by now and HBO is the Searchlight of TV Awards, they friggin know how to campaign their stuffs despite being a shitshow. Zendaya won an Emmy before and Sydney Sweeney did generate genuine buzz for her performance (Wasn’t a big fan but credit given where it due, kudos). Apatow prediction is a bit outrageous but given Lexi is a fan favourite from the second season I kind of get why Feinberg would predicts her.

That was for season 1, back when it was not a sensation. It is widely agreed that season 2 was a sharp decline from season 1, almost a caricature, a teenage drama. No Jules, no Kat? Zendaya basically a supporting actress with a showy episode? Completely pointless and unrealistic arcs with Fez and Lexi? Its season 2 hype explosion came from pop culture: having naked adults depict wild teens, not from excellence.

It was a sensation in Season 1. Season 2 was so so but if HBO can get a shitshow like GoT final season in so can Euphoria. They are like Searchlight to the Emmys

That’s pretty reductive. I mean, maybe that’s a hope but Zendaya already got nominated and won the Emmy so someone other than just children were watching then.

They are the biggest Zendaya/Euphoria here, expect less from them.

On the side note, while im pretty lukewarm about the show. THREE Supporting actress noms including Apatow and Schafer are absolutely nuts by all accounts. Not particularly compelled by Lexi’s arc, but Lexi being a fan favourite might be a consideration although the merit that Apatow shown didnt actually guarantee it

It was a domestic sensation among children, and also among adults who watched it in a mocking way and to keep up with the online water cooler. No adult actually liked it or thought it was good.

Im Southeast Asian and I have adult friends who genuinely liked it (Im lukewarm on it) and its one of the more popular foreign shows herem

Your obsessive hatred for anything Zendaya/Euphoria related needs to be toned down

I agree. I think Hugh Jackman tries too much. He is Too Theater and Too Overacting. Marlon Brando said once: “Less Is More In Acting”. I agree with that. I love Russell Crowe and he is Very Underrated(He is One of The Greatest Actors Ever)

It all depends to the skillset of the actors and their roles too. Crowe didnt work at Les Miserable and Jackman worked for tbe same movie bcs the movie requires grander performance (He was a stage and musical actor before becoming Wolverine)

Understated actor wouldnt work in that kind of movie (Ansel Elgort in WSS is a prime example, although for an “Understated actor” standard he was average at best) or even weirder, Ben Platt didnt work on Dear Evan Hansen bcs he is the only broadway actor between regular screen actor (while Elgort is the exact opposite and has similar issue with Crowe)

I mean to be fair Thomasin was awful in ‘old’. Almost everybody was. In addition to terrible writing. I genuinely thought the movie was meant to be ironic and intentionally bad, until I realised it was… meant to be serious

I cant disagree with you there, but Wolff, Sewell and Thomasin are really acting their ass off with some of the worst lines ever written.

On the side note, its the “Never saw xxx as particularly great talent” is what I meant to be implied as subtle hate towards particular actor.

Hate is such a strong word. However, I understand what you just said. To me, those are how I say that an actor is overrated or overpraised. Not that I hate them though. To hate means to dislike passionately, but some performances/actors people praised here are just not… strong enough to cause me passionate, either to like or to dislike.

Two weeks late but these are what im referring too

Anya Taylor Joy hasn’t done anything for me in any movie I’ve seen her in thus far. Feel like people hype her cuz she’s pretty white but can be filed under “ethnic”

I never really saw Thomasin McKenzie as a particularly great talent previously but she’s really quite bad in Old.

Girlie deserved all the great roles. Now that she’s done with MCU (I suppose?), let her act in art house or award-bait films, anything that could live up to her talent.

She’s still bound to contract for few materials, but since WV/Dr Strange she has more breathing room to do more interesting projects like Love and Death.

Capekino is a double edged sword. For prestige actors it gave them financial security to do more interesting roles without having to worry about financial security a la Cumby and Dunst (Raimi’s Spidey), but it could also consume their time ditto Lizzie Olsen.

Capeshit also works as a gate to more opportunity for lesser known actors at the time they joined MCU a la Sebastian Stan, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt and Simu Liu.
