Nate from Euphoria

I have been rewatching Euphoria in preparation for the new season coming out in April. The character Nate really has sparked my interest this past time. He is a character that at least in my opinion, you start to almost feel bad for and sympathize with. The show does a great job at making you side with him and almost forget that he really just is not a good person. He has countless moments in the show where he treats women terribly, makes comments about them, and overall just acts in gross ways. I think this can translate into real life because of how overlooked people's behaviors can be. They may have a bad past, or have done some other good things, causing others to justify their behaviors.

    I can agree Nate was highly overlooked of how bad of a person he was and how he treated women. I feel as if even if he had a bad past he still just only had hatred towards women which was so sad and sick which isn't something that should be normalized and I feel like the show in a way made it seem so normalized and okay.

    I agree completely with what your saying. I feel like this happens a lot in movies when theres a terrible character but their situation makes you feel bad for them.

    Personally I never watched Euphoria, but in high school I was apart of the One Love club (a club focusing on raising awareness of relationship violence), and Nate was always an example of an unhealthy partner. He exhibits unhealthy behaviors like manipulation, isolation, belittling, etc. Your point about people's faults being over looked/ justified is something I see normalized in society, and 100% agree with you on.

    I have seen some episodes of Euphoria with my roommate, and I can also agree that Nate was such a bad person in this show, and how he was treating everyone else, because it made him feel some type of way. But I also feel as though it is mostly his father's fault for making him act that way.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
