🚨 do you understand what just happened to Euphoria..
a character people loved for 7 years. Zendaya turned her into a national hero. a show that was supposed to give addicts hope.
then the finale aired..
- she spent the whole season trying to stay clean
- worked as a DEA informant, played both dealers off each other
- Alamo figured out she was a rat
- he didn't shoot her. he handed her painkillers and walked off
- the pills were laced with fentanyl
- he bet the addict couldn't say no. he was right
- she took one and died on Ali's couch, alone
the reunion with her mom. the field with Fez. all of it was in her head while her body was already shutting down.
now everyone's fighting about it.
half are calling it murder.
half are calling it a relapse.
it was both. that's the whole point. Alamo didn't need a gun. he used her disease and waited.
Levinson called it an honest ending. people like Rue don't get a second chance.
Angus Cloud didn't either.
I just love seeing people put the work in for years and finally have their moment. Everything is so fast paced now, and no one wants to wait for their dreams to come together, but meaningful work is supposed to take time.
