Only thing I know for certain is that there is a right and a wrong in this world. There ain't no in-between. You're either making the world a better place, or you're making it worse. In the end, it's that fucking simple.

Once again Zendaya and Colman Domingo carried the episode on their backs and make the finale worth watching.

Genuinely, Sam Levinson is a misogynist and racist. He's awful to women of color. And I don't mean that he wants to bring back segregation. I mean that he does Not have empathy for people of color, especially women of color. It's so apparent in everything he writes. That's why euphoria hit for some people despite season 3 being shit and predominantly written by Levinson. It's because the season is about persevering in life despite the pain or the grief.... Yeah, minorities definitely understand that story already. We also definitely know what it's like for a white man to set a somber tone and tell minorities that the systems in place are set up against us. Thats why it's so "realistic". It's literally reality. It's a white man in a place of power telling the masses that our lives suck, and he does that by being a Shit to the literal women of color and trans performers he works with. He told the poor actress who played Maddy to tone it down on being latina when auditioning. He had the actress, who played Rues mother, come out and film multiple scenes for the moment Rue calls her on the phone, only for the episode to air and never tell her he cut most if not 95% of her scenes. Labyrinth took all his music back from season 3 and refused to work with him again cus Sam Levinson was being such an asshole to him. He uses Zendayas fame to pilot the first two seasons, and then for the finale completely side lines her and makes her a martyr for men to fight over. It's so disrespectful to people of color, to the real people he works with and the people he's representing through his characters. It's questionable and he's right to receive criticisms for how stereotypical Levinson wrote Alamos and Ali's backstories, but also how he treats the women characters, specifically, of color who are constantly sidelined. Its the fact that he doesn't see women as having any form of agency, and so wrote a story about things happening to a black women but never about her character developing (either negatively or positively) just stayed static with Rues's character.

I don't count her interest in religion as change bc that's a common tactic to recover from drugs. It's Jesus or drugs, as the saying goes. She had to find another outlet for her disease, and religion was acting as that for her. It was like another form of addiction. There are alot of hurt people in the pews of church for a reason. Like Rue said, it gives you a bigger reason than yourself. That doesn't mean Rue was changing or developing, she had a similar mindset when she was in highschool till the end of the third season. We saw glimpses of the possibility of change. Her questioning Alamos intentions and her own accountability, and those possibilities are exactly what sam Levinson used to fuel her Martyr ending. So now Rue doesn't get to be developed, and possibly get her own revenge against Alamo, instead of being killed and her memory being saved by Ali. Bc Sam Levinson doesn't believe in that reality. A reality where a black woman (just like Ali) could develop, get into remission for her disease, and then either work to help young black people in rues position like ali, or go on some kick ass cowboy shoot out. That Rue could have some form of agency. Or her mother, who's grief was not a priority at all, unlike Alamo and Ali having a shoot out. Two men, who we have not followed as intimately or as long as we have with Rue and her mother, were devoted more time in the finale of the whole show. All we got to any form of women having agency was Cassie, and even then so much was happening to her

I also think that a huge reason Cassie got more screen time was because Cassie is white and played by the racist Bezos loving Sidney Sweeney. So again, the only reason a woman got anywhere close to agency was Cassie whos actress is tied to white supremacy. You could argue that Lexi had agency, but she was almost never focused on and consistently sidelined. We could have devoted alot more scenes to her than Alamo or Faye and her boyfriend, but that wasn't Levinson's priority. It literally bleeds into Every Inch of this season. He is racist and sexist, and fuck probably transphobic. He genuinely cannot empathize with any of us.
