Jessica Lange leaving was the worst thing to ever happen to AHS
Absolutely.
Yup and now Evan left too I’m pretty sure so the whole show is just done
Yeah, she was the best part about the whole thing. Especially Apocalypse.
AHS not keeping good writers was the worst thing. Im sure jessica lange thought the seasons were garbage too.
@@mancalacat6333 Agreed
Apocalypse is like "I forced a bot to watch every episode of AHS and write its own season " meme...
Perfect
Every episode was just so predictable like fr.
This is the most accurate comment I’ve ever seen
Ter Something I never finished that season
Oh my God this is the best description I could fathom.
I'm convinced this 10+ season show only exists so the writers can work through their leather and ghost fetishes
And pick up their paychecks
It’s definitely giving very much Ryan Murphy made this for Ryan Murphy and completely ignored the audience. I’m sorry but there were so many holes and just unsatisfying loose ends here. I see a huge disconnect between this season and the rest of American Horror Story.
@@bigbootyalert why would you make a leather daddy a metaphor for HIV? Like that’s weird…
@i like alex wolff and don't get me started on Michael. His character isn't good, it's boring. The child who was the spawn of satan in Good Omens was a better version of the Anti-Christ than Michael
@@SallyJesseRaphael420lol Esp. when he appears to ppl who aren't gay/queer or at least have a leather fetish (which'd still be like- what...?). Make it a "plague demon" or a "parasitic entity" of some kind, a force of shame, ignorance & hubris, slowly consuming one's life force when it appears, for instance. Like how is a tall, bulked-up leather guy who literally kicks in doors & suffocates you in the shower supposed to showcase a *slow* death by infection? 🤨
Roanoke is insanely underrated, the formula change was awesome and it’s horrifying in my opinion, especially when it switches to the “reality show/found footage” part of the show.
Definitely the scariest season
Ok I just watched this season all the way through like two days ago and I have to say underrated. That season is legitimately scary.
Agreed it’s definitely the scariest season imo
It was the worst by far
@@jatochgaatjeniksaan3307 clearly you didn’t see apocalypse
"The Stew is Stu!" Someone was paid a living wage to write that
It’s captivating dialogue, of course they were paid 🤣
I wheezed too much while reading the comment now i'm a giggling mess at my class
Mamma cracked up so fuckin hard... I was confused the whole way through.
They are just the Riverdale writers in disguise
Syafiq Adli ~ it all makes sense now
Personally, I think the writers wrote this entire season around the singular line “the stew is stu”
0p
Yes
Hi
Libby Jones
Lol
“Waiter, there’s a stu in my stew”
I watched every single episode of apocalypse and I honestly couldn’t tell you a single thing that happened
Apocalypse was the worst season to date
Its the most fuckin confusing season I’ve ever seen 😂
I remember Evan Peters got butt fucked by a gimp suit
@@phatbiach5533 that did in fact happen
@@SallyJesseRaphael420lolu wish
The only think I can think of that you missed is that Stevie Nicks wasn’t a random addition in Apocalypse, she’d shown up in Coven as well. Totally agreed that her addition to Apocalypse was pretty pointless, at least in Coven it made sense because of how much Misty loved Stevie and her music
Yeah I didn’t care much for Coven but I felt they did do a good job of narratively justifying Stevie’s presence there. Fiona’s trying to lure this girl in, girl loves Stevie Nicks, oh hey it so happens Stevie is one of us, perfect for Fiona.
And even Nicks happening to be a witch wasn’t like it was some random singer- she spent the whole Satanic Panic era being constantly accused of being a witch by the kind of people who think Halloween is demonic. It was clever and fun (but dear god those musical numbers draaaaaaagged)
kinda would be interesting if the white witch showed magic can also be amplified or channeled through song rather than mindless chanting, like her power and strength comes from vocalizing
I heard there is a rumor abt her being a witch IRL
@@danielrubinstein896 I wouldn’t doubt it man, it takes magic to make ppl feel what her music makes so many people feel
Just a character she liked to portray on stage. Stevie is a Christian ✨ @@danielrubinstein896
my favorite part of apocalypse was when the actual church of satan tweeted about satanism being horrendously misrepresented
Just wait til you see 1984. Like they really went all out on Richard Ramirez being the next Tate in terms of fuckability despite irl Richard having rotted teeth (apparently he ate a shit ton of candy in his adult life) and zero fucks for hygiene. Also Montana says in ep 8(?) that Richard never killed kids even though irl Richard's first victim was a 9 year old girl. So historic accuracy be damned.
@@briankaslewicz6130 apparently loads of ppl were attracted to him tho both then and now (with those murder apologists on the internet, lovely) so even tho he was gross even without the rotted teeth and stench, ppl still thought he was hot
Faulty Obsession wait wait wait this actually happened? Lol
Officially the best info ever
I have to look that up now, thank you! That's amazing
AHS has always seemed to have a closing problem. Every season starts good, offers something different, then slowly loses its appeal and drags on until it dies a slow death
bigbdizzle2 each season starts with promising storylines and exciting characters, then they just add more and more and more stories and more characters, and the end of each season is a clusterfuck of loose ends with more questions than answers.
Totally agree.
That's Ryan Murphy's signature move
That’s what I’ve been saying! Murder House only worked pretty well cause it was shorter. Even my favorite seasons dragged on far too long and the writing just got messier and messier throughout the season. There’s so much useless filler I get bored and can’t pay attention anymore. I still haven’t finished Hotel and I started it over twice. Also Hotel confuses me cause every guy looks the same. Ryan Murphy definitely has a type.
My theory... The writers of AHS write starting with the premise... and then they try to write the ending as they go on.
Freak show was insanely good, the acting,the storylines, the characters, the overall almost Camp feel it had to it was absolutely excelent. They really pushed the boundries in every aspect. So good.
Freakshow wasn’t nearly as camp as 1984.
i can’t finish freak show. it felt like it would never end and i have a soft spot for the topic and it was just really upsetting to keep seeing all these great characters die and get abused
@@morganewing3399I know, i started the show late and everything about Freak Show just seems out of touch. Idk.
The problem with freak show is how unlikable the characters are. They are ALL bad people which makes it hard to sympathize with them. I mean, they literally all kill without remorse. On a technical level I think freak show is the best seasons. It had the best cinematography, sets, costumes, and designs.
I adored Freak Show, but wasn't a fan if how it was wrapped up. Such a waste of an amazing concept
The horsecarriage was my favourite Part of the show ! Sure theyre not the best choice, but Horses with Gasmasks pulling a carriage through the apocalyptic wasteland is just metal as fuck man. I loved them, its the apocalypse, you might as well drive in style
They also looked half dead and had open sores and flesh hanging so they looked creepy and zombie like. They were just some immaculate horses so it didn't seem out of place to me. They looked like they came from hell.
reminds me of WW1. WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
honestly the best thing that happened in this season is when that guy said “ ThE sTeW IS stU”
Thanks you
It almost seemed like parody by that point.
Patricia Ramirez I couldn’t stop laughing at it
Yes the stew is made out of stu
I mean “Mallory, come here and stick your finger down my throat” is also funny
This season could have been cool. No stupid Satan stuff. Just people losing it in a bunker.
^THISSSS
Ryan has Satans finger in his ass. He can’t make a season without it connecting to him
Lord of the Flies scenario in an enclosed space. Fallout's stories like these before. There's that whole Russian experiment story. It's so easy it just writes itself.
Except the 'stupid Satan stuff' tied in multiple seasons and made Apocalypse the best season yet.
Mike Justice i wouldnt say its the best season but you’re right in that it ties everything together
So I think 1984 is one of the best seasons of AHS. Really liked the different eras taking place and it just really tapped into that 80s slasher vibe. I really enjoyed it.
Yeah i liked 1984 quite a bit.
finally someone who agrees that sure it wasn't THE best, but it was definitely enjoyable to watch!
its definitely top 4. Maybe tied with coven. Everyone ignores it and focuses on 1-4.
There's not a dull moment and everything ties together. I was expecting it to tumble after episode 6 but it managed not to flatline. A little gratuitous with the slasher stuff but it nails the vibe.
I really liked it because of Richard Ramirez. They did such a good job recreating the chase/capture scene.
Im really really entertaining to watch, but it's the same thing, they get a little bit lost in the plot and constantly recreat murder house's plot twist. Also, waay to obssesd with Ramirez, if you wanna talk about 80s real serial killers OK, but why just choose one to be a hot interesting character, kinda dumb and disrespectful
I do have to disagree about the ending of Freakshow (because.. engagement). It was a truly horrifying season and shook me to my core, one of my AHS favorites.
"We don't believe in technology. Here's our robot servant."
i was thinking the same thing !
That was the manipulated view of Venable, not the co-operative, which was influenced by the architects of technology.
@@cjmiller6741 The robot was Michaels idea
Paul Long omg venable didnt kno she was a robot clown
I'm the 420th like,how epic
"They cooked Stu into a stew"
Edgy kids: this show's writing is fantastic
T Carroll I am an edgey kid and it is genuinely great writing.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruh, I am a complete edge lord, and apocalypse is just shit. XD.
T Carroll nah.. I’m a freaking edge god and this is shit
Honestly, I’d only watch apocalypse because it was funny. It didn’t seem to really take itself too seriously.
Pretty fitting that I was the 666's person to like this
It sucks that looking back at AHS Apocalypse after witnessing the newer unfinished messy train wreck seasons, that you realize at least Apocalypse kinda sorta tried a little at least.
This is EXATCLY what I thought!!
NYC was such a snoozefest.
LMAOOO
@@societycrumbles the first 7 episodes are great. The last two were L
i loved 1984. Personally, for me it really reminded my of like a campy slasher film. Although it did have its flaws (which season doesn't) where they bring in other elements, but if you just ignore all of that, it basically is just a slasher series
I thought it was fine. At least it made sense.
still can't understand how they killed THE DEVIL with a car
The assumption is that he was weak, a child, and not at full power yet.
@@HungerGames0012 That makes a liiittle bit more sense.. But still, hell should have probably helped him or something haha.. It was too easy
It was something I questioned after Satan helped Richard
@@michaelsolomon5309 well my best guess is that satan didnt really care about Michael and just thought "eh whatever, let's just make a new antichrist" while Ramirez was doing his work and was somehow more valuable than Michael? But idk
bitch u stupid smh
Elvis: "we will just call her Barb, cuz, who cares what her real name is"
*One minute later*
"WILHELMINA VENDABLE"
Don't. He couldn't even refer to Kathy Bates by her real name...and it's Kathy bates ffs.
Wilhelmina is probably a reference to Dracula, and Venable is definitely a reference to Violet and Sebastian Venable from Tennessee Williams's "Suddenly, Last Summer." In the play Violet Venable is a rich old society lady trying to have her traumatized niece Catherine lobotomized so she won't be able to reveal how Violet's son Sebastian truly died while they were vacationing in Spain the previous summer. Turns out he'd use his hot cousin to lure in poor local boys (without her knowledge), then pay them with food for sex. Eventually his victims chase him down and tear him apart in front of Catherine (it's also heavily implied they ate him) and that's why Catherine has PTSD and blocked out the memory. When Catherine finally reveals the truth, Violet goes mad. It's a crazy fucking play/movie, especially for something from the 1950s.
To be fair "Barb" was actually Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt. Like goddamn who'd bother to remember THAT?
keep the other nicknames those are fun :P
@@briankaslewicz6130 kooky enough of a name he chose barb to counter it :P barb is so vanilla and bland in comparison.
The 666 on his neck looks like he fell asleep with some spaghetti-o’s on his pillow and they got stuck on his neck
It really confused me at first because the same actors were playing different people ... In the same season. It was really weird. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't keep track well
"all the elites of the world are satanists"
What is this, My Immortal?
might as well be, this season felt like a weird tumblr fan fic.
FUCK haha long time since I've seen someone talk about that damn fanfiction. Is this Satanic Harry Potter ???
ALEX JONES WAS RIGHT
MykillLangdong666 says: STUP FLAAMING U PREPZ!
"They send a witch back in time". They totally did that in My Immortal. Maybe XXXbloodyrists666XXX wrote the script for this season.
Apocalypse honestly could've been good if they could've picked a plotline? Like they tried to do way to many things. If they had stuck with "nuclear winter, they're stuck in a bunker" could have been creepy, developed well, and played on modern fears.
A TV show based on Vault-Tec from the Fallout universe would have been perfect. That's what I expected, maybe show us how people on the surface are doing too.
Yeah and they could base what happens in that bunker on like weird human experiments that've happened throughout history. Sometimes human nature and psychology is scarier than "oo supernatural satan with M A G I C A L powers!!11!!!!"
Damn, the possibilities :/
Katrina P YESSS THATS what i thought I was so entranced the first episode, I wish the witches had like just not existed
Hell the witches continuations could have been its own individual thing. But like you said way too much bullshit
Murder House - A+
Asylum - A+
Coven - A
Freak Show - B+ (heavily underrated til they suddenly decided to shoot everyone)
Hotel - B-
Roanoke - B
Cult - C-
Apocalypse - F-. Zero. Awful. Plagiarizing a final or something
1984 - C-
Since then everything is decidedly awful too including “American Horror Stories” which my gf still makes me watch just hoping it’ll get better or something so i just play games on my phone the whole time
a sad fall from grace indeed
I didn't even like the Murder house one, idk how ill last the other seasons. I started watching for Evan Peter's But I swear it's really, idk anymore.
The first half of AHS 1984 was decent but then I always feel like there's a point in the AHS seasons where it starts to slowly dip
Always. Always
1984 ended off strong tho
You can’t say “The stew is Stu” isn’t an iconic line.
yuh
I feel like the grandmother saying she didnt care what it was and continued to eat it was more iconic
The Stu is stew!
Not really it sounds dumb
spongebob reee whooooosh
"THE STEW IS STU" is probably the best line in the entire AHS cinematic universe
TUPAC IS THE SNACC!
Haha yes it was
@s s Cinematic meaning having to do with motion pictures. And universe meaning all in the same universe. In the name, dumbass
@s s a moving pictures commonly refers to movies, but does not mean movie directly. A moving picture literally is a moving picture, wether it be a show or movie. Use your brain.
@s s kind of dumb that you assume i liked my own comments.
"When you killed your grandma but it's halloween" asdfghjkl
Sir... I was TRYING to listen to this video and do my crafts at the same time. But every time you said "Willeminamenamah" I fucked up from laughing. These crafts suck now. 😂
You have too much free time
@@jatochgaatjeniksaan3307 says the guy commenting on comments lol
@@ItsOkayCasey yes but im at work. Not doing crafts like a kid.
@@jatochgaatjeniksaan3307 😂 😂 😂 yes, because watching CZcams videos and harassing ppl in the comments while you're supposed to be working is very adult 👏 👏 👏 I hope I can be as cool as you when I grow up
Apocalypse was awful except for that one scene in the final episode when Angela Bassett walked out as Marie Laveau and said “she needed the help of a powerful voodoo queen. And that ain’t you sis.”
Yes😂
Yesss it was amazing 👏
Myrtles the shit! Go suck a peanut loved loved loved apocalypse and I got hooked on American horror story with Coven and the witches! And Ga ga is nothing short of amazing! What ever dude!
periodt
Cult wasn't that entertaining either
“But that doesn’t matter, let’s keep going.” That sentence was probably used way too often in the writing of this show
:0 What are YOU doing here?
Thought u were Jill Hudson
Vagina
Hey SATAN, hows it hanging
You killed anyone new recently??
Satan so how do u feel about this biography of ur son
My favourite season was Asylum. It had alien abduction, serial killer psychopath, homophobia in the 80s scenario. So many plotlines. Then was freakshow. Freakshow hit it out of the park for me. But once Jessica Lange left, it did not feel the same
Do you mean the 60s? But I agree, I haven’t liked stuff too much since Hotel. That was the last good one.
Freak show was amazing to me, and twisty getting killed off personally is what saved it. The conflict, for me at least, was boring and only for shock factor- y'know, scary clown tryna kill a bunch of kids with a sad background. Kinda cliche, happy he got killed off because dandy, in my opinion, was a more dynamic villain and tied into the main story more directly, and the whole god complex was a pretty good way to make this villain so fun to watch, rather than trying to make it pityful. Its story was good, and all the characters were dynamic to me, and the twists were really good.
The way you say "Wilhelmina Venable" made me think of Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome
same sksksks
XD
Doug Dimmadome, owner of the same Dimmsdale Dimmadome where they’re showing Crash Nebula?
Wilhelmina Venable owner of the Dimmsdale Vendorinthemall
Switch Dog On ice?
They just acted like Kyle never existed. That sucked.
YES
I feel like the nod to this was Maddison helping Violet with Tate.
honey, kyle is useless for the plot of apocalypse, giving him screentime would be a waste
Dionne Fenty voodoo queen did jack shit and the season wouldn’t have been any different without her because she died as quick as she came back in. Was still happy to see her. Ryan’s just lazy.
Madison Donaldson sis fell off the face of the earth
I felt like Roanoke was like me writing a paper in highschool. Finishing but then realizing it's not long enough and trying to add more. Like all the main characters die, so they introduce more. But then they all die. Rinse and repeat.
I agree with everything you said and the murder house soul trapping idea was amazing! yet this season is my guilty pleasure, I'm just obsessed with coven, they could make an entire season about witches on a cooking show and I would watch it hahaha
You gotta admit though, this season had the best line in the whole series:
"Im Constance Langdon. And this is *MY* fucking house."
You forgot about
“THE STEW IS STU”
and what about Cordelia saying "I'm the *F-CKING* supreme"✨
“My powers are waning? Say that again.”
God bless our Queen Jessica Lange
s' cringe tho
It really bothered me when they tried to rekindle Violet and Tate's relationship and make Tate a good guy in this to justify his actions from the first season. "Oh it's ok Violet. You can be with him again. It wasn't him, it was the house." Um, yeah...he still shot kids at a school though, burned his neighbor, fucked Violet's mom and impregnated her. That was just a bad move altogether. I guess if I ever commit a horrendous crime, I can just blame my house while playing Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me".
@@jezzy5130 he didn't raped her, she thought that It was her husband with that strange fantasy.
@@lusca7148 exactly, he pretended to be her husband. That's rape by fraud/deception, which people have gone to jail for. She did not consent to have sex with Tate.
@@lusca7148 I agree with Jessica, it's definitely rape.
@@gagemace good for you 🤠👍
Lucas Ribeiro LMAO, okay. Thanks. Sorry for trying to help you understand that Tate raped her by pretending to be her husband 🤡
"wilheminavenable" and "the stew is stu" are now part of my vocabularly, thank you
I’m currently watching this season again and agree with a lot of what you’ve said here. I do appreciate Cody Fern’s acting in this season, even thought the writing was horrible.
Apocalypse felt like it was written by the authors of Riverdale
Miss Keisha that’s what I thought!!
1000%
Apocalypse is less worse than lakedale
Your Profile looks like a boondocks character
Miss Keisha Omg btw I love ur pfp
I'm just glad to see cocaine is back in fashion in the writer's room.
Underrated comment
Nah I think it was just xanax. Cocaine would at least be fun.
Like Batman and Robin stupid as he'll but at least fun.
*Snorts a line* "THE STU IS STEW!"
feel like this is what there withdrawls look like due to covid stopping UPS and Amazon from shipping them thier fix.
The way this season works is identical to a tweaker explaining what their situation is to a normal functioning human.
The Darkness’s real name sounds far too similar to Michael Landon, the man who played the father in Little House On The Prairie. THAT is the most upsetting part about this season
1. Asylum
2. Coven
3. Murder House
4. New York City
5. Freak Show
6. Hotel
7. Double Feature
8. Cult
9. 1984
10. Roanoke
11. Apocalypse
The top three are very hard to rate. They are all equal to be honest.
Pretty solid top 3 ngl 👌
The strangest thing about every season on AHS is it seems like the characters don't really digest the things that happen to them or around them, they just let the bad things happen and then mentally reset without being very traumatised (like happy gay fieri after tearfully murdering his gma who... wanted to peg him?)
Exactly! They're always just like "ok, moving on"
Same thing with Barb watching her parents get obliterated live
The words "Grandma", "Peg", and "Grandson" just dont go together...
Agreed. I remember Violet hysterically sobbing when she found out she was dead and like... Where's that? Why is everyone catatonic now?
Yes! Totally agree. Tried to look passed it but it always bugged me
Apocalypse was fan service, murder house and coven were the most watched seasons and Murphy wanted to bring together what the fans wanted
^^This. It's intentionally leaning on camp and fan service. I think it's a really amazing nod to AHS fans. I was smiling ear to ear at some of the writing and hyperbole in Apocalypse, tbh.
Those two were my favorite
@@KatetheGreat3689 samee
Coven sucked
well fuck my comment ;)
it’s so funny you named Leslie Grossman’s character in apocalypse Barb, that’s her characters name in the new season NYC, maybe they took some notes from this video on how to improve the series/writing lol
I liked Apocalypse, except the ending. It was definitely a love letter to fans of the earlier seasons, so I enjoyed how season 8 tried to tie things together and bring back favorite characters. I get what the showrunners were going for at the end, but I thought the devil needed the antichrist to be born of a ghost and a human woman, per what was said in Murder House. So them being like nevermind, this is actually totally random and it can be any couple was like huh? Maybe they were selected as the new parents because they were noticed in the outpost in the erased timeline.
AHS used to actually be scary, now it feels like a parody
It really do
yep now only hardcore fans will watch it now instead of non-hardcore fans watching it but just rewatching the seasons they liked.
That's why I started watching, the actual horror stories. Asylum was playing one night (marathon), I woke up like this is some creepy shit. Instantly hooked. It's blah now
It was never scary for me, i feel like i will never watch a movie as scary as the first exorcist was back in the days at that time.
You’re joking!! It was always campy and stupid
This season was a mistake lol. It makes sense that the antichrist would be a rape baby made between a ghost and a living women, but it doesn't make sense for it to come from a loving couple that has nothing to do with anyone.
Adalexen The Time Traveling Unicorn
maybe the loving couple was selected because their DNA can spawn another antichrist because they are somehow related to the murder house
Actually yes, because the Antichrist will came out of nowhere. That’s what the Bible says
@@dezinicoli9006 And as we know, everything that is written in the bible, is true.
The original post is right. It was already foreshadowed, that there will be something happening with Micheal Langdon. The entire season was fan service only. It was boring. I am glad I didn't buy it. And the end was the worst of it all.
wait
w h a t
@@teppichfliesestaubknauel5044 I could see that since they were "randomly" selected for having superior genes there'd be something special about them, but that goes to question who knew this from the original timeline for them to end up in the bunker as maybe a backup for a new antichrist. But even still the situation raises more questions than answers
I feel like AHS purposely trolls us sometimes because there’s no way 😂
1984 was actually pretty good, it was just a completely standalone, campy fun time not needlessly connected to anything else.
Yeah I could understand what was happening for the first time since like Hotel. And I even was watching once a week. I couldn’t imagine trying to watch Roanoke or Apocalypse like that lol
Ryan Murphy is a really bad storyteller. He knows how to start something good, but then it gets really messy and always wraps up in the simplest, most predictable way.
lightbop yes!!
AHS is the only show I know where even the fanbase massively admits this. And that says a lot.
And he’s also a misandrist
@@brianaguilar8283 Oh yeah
Except for season 2 season 2 was amazing the goat of AHS
The worst part about that random baby being the 'spawn of satan' in the end is that it completely goes against what was said in Murder House. The only reason Langdon was satan's spawn was because he was the conceived from a living and a dead person
Yup. That's where they lost me too. Like what the heck
but satan does not want to lose,so timothy and emily dna were meant to make the antichrist and they were destined to fall in love.That the reason why they were protected in the beginning
@@jiayi5829 Yeah but that's an awful plot. "They were destined to make the next antichrist" is such a boring reason. You can justify anything with "fate", it deflates all tension and reason and removes any choice that characters may have. The antichrist being born out of certain conditions is way more interesting
Omg you're right that never even occurred to me BUT NOW IT WILL BOTHER ME FOREVER DAMMIT!!!
True. Also, how TF did Mallory kill the freaking ANTICHRIST with a car????
Thank you for bringing a smile to my face today. I really needed it
Hope you're ok dude
Unfortunately I completely agree with you. I really used to like the show. On a positive note you've made me go back and watch the first couple seasons. Thx!!
1984 was literally just the writers going "hey, what if we did a horror season in the 80s?" and then contributed no further ideas, and the costume and set people went all out but then the writers forgot to make a plot
what? are you dumb? or are you stupid? the plot of 1989 was the peak of the season
@@gluedglued1252 I love that you called me stupid and then proceeded to get the name of the season wrong
Probably just piggybacking off of "Stranger Things" success with the while 80s aesthetics and setting.
1984 is actually good-
I couldn't get through a single episode without having the urge to spontaneously combust. The plot was sooo predictable and the characters were kinda bland. There was nothing new brought in this season, just recycled garbage that felt overused. I didn't like a single character in this season. There's a murderer on the loose...okay where have I seen that before? 🧐🤔🤔 Oh yeah EVERY SINGLE OTHER SEASON, but I'll still watch the next one so 🤷🏽♀️ (ps sorry I addressed this to you but I'm just ranting, 😅) pls let me know what u think
Why would they grab the one guy for genetics if they’re not even allowed to have sex? What’s the point of the genetics if they don’t intend to make babies with them?
Margabuls Fievka several points were made
Lol I have no idea what your talking about or what the shows about but just wanna say you can still have kids via insemination without having sex in general
And yes alot of people do that
Bongwater Nico If I’m gonna be completely honest, I wasn’t even paying enough attention to know if they said anything 😂 still confuses me that they wouldn’t let anyone have sex at all though, seems like it was really only implanted for a shoehorned conflict.
LoveTheWorld I suppose that’s fair, yeah. I think they could have done something creepy then with the guy’s genetics, like make super soldier abominations or some shit. That would have actually been kinda cool.
Yeah I was confused as well but turns out it's Sarah Paulson's character, the one that runs the bunker that decided the no-sex rule, it was not a rule intended by the cooperative or whatever it was called 🤷🏻♀️
Totally agree. All ur opinions are perfect. Keep doing ur thing
You had me rollin with the idgaf random names
The best part of Apocalypse is “Stu is Stew!”
you mean "the stew is stu"
I just realized that it can go either way. You can say that the stew is the person Stu, or that the person Stu, has been turned into stew. Either way that quote is the best part of the 9 seasons so far.
😯☝️.
😕✊
@@synth3662 the stu is stu
it eez what it eez
The only thing that kept people invested in that season was the fan service.
As a first time viewer, i disagree.
I mean it’s not the worst thing ever but after the rest of the show it just felt lazy and rushed
i think it was the nostalgia. overall bad everything
Fan service and extremelly hot Antichrist for me.
the gore kept me interested
u kill me, your deadpan/semi-disinterested delivery is HILARIOUS. thank you for making me laugh so hard ❤️❤️
First Taissa Left
Second Jessica Lange
Third Evan Peters
And if Sarah Paulson left too
I’m sure the series will worst end soon
I was really hoping that apocalypse would be kind of like a boy and his dog show us some people slowly going insane in an underground bunker but instead we got witch stevie nicks singing
So... fallout 4 but its me going insane
sol sil lollll
That actually sounded interesting
i mean im not complaining
Well, AHS never was never quite subtle.
imo the idea of a nuclear war, getting an alert on your phone, living the rest of your days in a bunker, its a genuinely scary and interesting story that could be pretty realistic. Unfortunately they butchered it terribly
like the girl and boy we see in episode 1 was so irrelevant
I think it could have been perfect if they had maintained the whole season that way. Create an elaborate bunker system with otherwise normal people who found their way in because of their ability to help humanity survive. Start having weird, paranormal shit happen there. Make it a matter of staying underground locked away with some malevolent force that can kill them versus risking contamination above ground. It would be claustrophobic, effective, relate to how people felt at the time of its release thanks to COVID and the initial lock downs, and would still be relevant given the worsening relations with certain nations we've had previous problems with before (ahem). But they did what they always did and stuffed so much in that it overwhelmed the feeling of dread that the beginning episodes of most seasons manage.
I remember initially watching Asylum, getting to Ann Frank, and just being so annoyed. But then we moved on to other seasons, and that is one of the least over the top and bloated seasons in this series.
Watching this show is often an exercise in picking out missed opportunities.
I saved this season to watch last because it just felt too real & sounded terrifying.
And then it just turned into Satans kid having daddy issues but also the world died i guess lol
@@supercharger101 don’t they end up producing the alternate anti-Christ
@@lyndsaycrawford that part is irrelevant too
I love that you like Roanoke! I do too and people always think I’m just being a contrarian but I think it’s very tight, it’s a single plot and the season being divided in two really really works that time, in that instance it takes care of their tendency toward late-season drag.
It was funny to me that up to that point, people were always complaining about his “12 separate plots that in theory will eventually converge but we can’t really pull that off” ethos, always saying there’s too much going on, then they gave us a season with a single, well-controlled plot with any subplots contained within…. And everyone fucking LOATHED it
20:05 I mean yeah, I thought it was pretty clear that yes it was trolling and yes he did it for fun. His single personality trait is sadism, so that didn’t really strike me as a plot hole or as illogical
I think the biggest mistake was just making apocalypse, coven pt2
Like, the first 3 or 4 episodes of apocalypse before the plot redirected towards the coven girls, were amazing
The aesthetics, the tension in the bunker, the mental wear of the situation
If they had made apocalypse about being inside the bunker, and made it more of a psychological story it could’ve been one of the best seasons
I thought the whole point of Michael being the antichrist was because he was the child of a ghost, but then the ending suggests it could be literally any kid. Also the Tate redemption arc is the worst fan service of the whole season.
A ghost that in life became an ansty teenage school shooter.
How do you know that woman's husband is the father? Obvious fix to the plot hole.
but i mean the tate redemption was undone by mallory so i guess it kind of loses appeal? It felt very forced and uncomfortable anyways
I think the ending when it shows Emily and Timothy having a baby and him being the next antichrist is bc at the beginning they tell us that they were taken bc of the genetic makeup and is fit for survival soooo when they had their baby it created another michael if that makes sense
Abriana Luna so Satan was just like oh these guys have nice genes! I’m gonna make them birth the Antichrist!
I feel like Satan is so overused he isn’t even frightening now, sort of like zombies. Just tiresome. Edit: also wow, APPLES and SNAKES, I WONDER what the director is trying to say?! The references here are so *painfully* direct and obvious it hurts me.
Miguel Mauro I loved that film a lot. Good use of zombies in my opinion.
Plus jess and jeff being adam and eve cause their dna is perfect or whatevs
@Miguel Mauro Train to Busan had great zombie design but terrible characters, like the dude that stands to stare at someone getting bitten instead of immediately running, or when he tried to lock out the dude that saved them all earlier on
@@klayman2 loved the movie, hated the characters.
The Exorcist and Exorcist III do justice to that guy. The true terror of a bad guy like that is one you can't see, and can't defend yourself from.
Yooo that merch tho is probably some of the hardest I’ve seen on CZcams def gonna cop some when I get my check🤟
it’s hard for me to completely disagree but one thing i will say is that i enjoyed seeing the previous seasons come together because it made sense in the ahs world. as messy at apocalypse was, i think they made it as entertaining as they could have
Instead of a story about the apocalypse, its about time traveling witches doing a hit and run on baby diablo. Why?
i agree, they could have given it its own plot and it kinda feels like they did, but then something went wrong and they decided to go all coven
Coven was the weakest of the early seasons as well so isn't the best foundation for another series
@@daviddavid2890 agreed Coven was a hard watch for me compared to seasons 1/2 early on
And in the end it didnt even matter 😭
Coven is the best season, hence fan service.
Ah, yes, my favorite story:
The Adventures of Willemeenamennimal and Grumpy
I cackled much too loudly reading this.
Milaethanol
No, it's Williey millennial
Most people don't know this, but that's actually the origin of Snow White.
Imagine being a barista and hearing that name
I’ve always liked freak show especially how during the time was with the clown sightings and how it makes the time watching it feel like Halloween
Michael didn’t get brought back by satan. At that point, he was The Supreme and an extremely powerful wizard when he got killed. He was able to bring himself back to life. The witches had to go back in time to kill him before he got that powerful. So when he is hit by the car, he didn’t have the ability/knowledge to bring himself back to life.
The worst part is that this season had so much potential to be so epic and large and could have brought the show back from its run of terrible seasons but no...
HimaHyuuga it’s only gotten worse and more political
It really didn’t though? As soon as I saw the scale they were trying to go for I knew these people would screw it up.
Mr. Wonky We all knew it wasn’t going to be good that doesn’t mean it didn’t gave potential.
I wish they'd explained the Adam and Eve rip off, it was never directly addressed why the two of them were there with any detail. They got abducted/saved from a nuclear apocalypse and then nothing, wtf is the point. And if they gave birth to another anti-Christ but one already existed in the original timeline then wtf was the point of them surviving, who selected them and why etc.
I think that 1984 brought it back but only towards the end. Like after ep 6 it got good but it also didn’t rly feel like Ahs. It felt kinda like scream queens.

Cult killed it for me. I can’t stand when tv shows go super political or set in our reality.
I loved the circus one for the vibe. Then I watched apocalypse because the description sounded good. And then i watched it over a couple of very sleepless nights during lockdown and was INFINITELY confused
This was the first season of AHS I've seen and I thought i was hallucinating after seeing the same actress playing 3 different roles
Michael Langdon was the only thing I could tolerate in Apocalypse. He’s just visually stunning.
ikr like how is he so attractive
Ugh yesssss
God ive seen so many gifs of him and never knew who he was or what they were from! Damn!!
Cool way to out yourself as artistically shallow. “The show sucked but the main villain wuz hawt”. You sound like a frat douche.
Antichrist daddy
While there are many continuity issues with Apocalypse, it’s not something that’s unique to AHS. That being said, Coven is my favorite season of all time, and I love the fact that the witches storyline was included. Apocalypse didn’t kill it, 1984, Death Valley, & Delicate (so far) killed it for me
I liked the reality show perspective of Roanoke too especially with the plot twist at the end
Elvis looks like he's been waiting in line for like 10 hours
hey_its_ peter top comment
“And that’s when she finds out she’s a machine as well” um can we please go back to that
Yeah this whole season was half assed but definitely not the worst, pretending Cult and Roanoke are better is just crazy
Rebeca Gutierrez cult sucked but Roanoke seemed to try
Too many ideas? Spaghetti in the wall? Remember Halloween III, the bad guy just had human automatons doing his bidding?
I agree with these ideas. I feel like that the show jumped too many ships. Ryan Murphy was quoted to never do vampires and then maid 2 seasons with them. Apocalypse was just fan fair to fix a dying show. Jessica Lange and Sarah palson made these seasons worth loving. The original cast are not even in the last 2 seasons as of now. I just want to say "uuhhh". I appreciate NYC because there is nothing supernatural, no cross overs. But what is scarier than a disease that destroys a community. The aids epidemic was terrible, no make believe makes it even worse. I felt NYC was handled very good. My family still thinks that gay people had sex with monkeys and this is God punishment. So I say many harsh things to them for the stupidity of such a bad statement
This was the first season of AHS I've seen when it was released, and it legit killed any curiosity I had for it. I'm sure it's great but damn this was a kick in the teeth.
"Fun" is the PERFECT word to describe early American Horror story episodes tbh
I really thought Apocalypse would have been about a bunch of spoiled, entitled people slowly losing their minds and killing each other out of frustration and entitlement, like a Lord of the Flies type story where the two normal people would serve as the audience POV. I thought that would have been really good... and then this happened, those two kidnapped kids didn't matter, and now there was a whole new plot to learn. If they had picked one story or the other, it might have been better.
lowkey the plot of 1984
And then all that's left afterwards are the greys, who do not know or care why their former slavers killed each other but are much better equipped to survive than those dumb, entitled, pricks for the sole reason that they actually know how to take care of themselves!
Yes that’s what I was looking for that whole “lord of flies” losing it or the hopelessness of “the road” just plain old survival of the fittest would’ve went down much better. Imo
the two kidnapped kids DID matter though??? there wasn’t a whole new plot to learn either , it gave you the plot, the story progresses backwards from a certain point exploring the main antagonists backstory and the witches attempts to stop what happened , and they do, and the the kidnapped kids meet, have a kid and the timeline of the antichrist rising repeats itself. There was one singular and strong plotline that was executed pretty well and y’all still act so confused 😭
@Khalil 8991 It was perfect in its own way :)))
Pretty much every season is now a bingo came of : aggresively gay character, leather fetish, all characters are cynical and jaded, lots of gratuitous violence, forced sexual chemistry, and basically just a whole lot of shit that was "shocking" the first 30 times we saw it
The increasing rape and incest fetishization legit killed the series for me and my fiance
The real horror story is how it became an ass show. I thought I was the only one who started to dislike the show. Like I thought it was just my taste. I think a lot of people fell off during freakshow though.
FPS DIESEL chad furry
I skipped it altogether
Freakshow made me laugh a bit. Tried watching Hotel and couldn't get through it at all. My favorite will always be Asylum tbh.
I really liked all season except that trump/joker/manson season, that was just straigt up fucking bs
Coven sucked...Asylum was the best so far
This is truly a sad moment for all the gamers who loved this show
Chiaki Nanami approves this comment *insert the national gamer anthem*
@FailerShino ok
FailerShino ok boomer
Sad hours.
@FailerShino no one asked for your opinion
4:54 Fun fact: That same actress plays a character named 'Barb' in the newest season 'NYC'.
Apocalypse made me soooo annoyed when I watched it. For awhile before that season came out I was really wanting them to do something with a doomsday theme so I was really excited at first. But then, they give us……that??? There were SO many things they could have done with that theme when it comes to atomic radiation and maybe even some sort of lord of the flies/wild west anarchy stuff in the aftermath of the apocalypse. Like you mentioned, the whole time I was like-can I see more of what the world looks like now outside of the bunker??? Were there weird creatures and stuff up there, like the hills have eyes or something? 😒🤷🏻♀️ I was so so disappointed. Same with double feature!! It would’ve been so much better if each of those stories were a complete season of their own. The first half with Red Tide started out so strong in my opinion I was actually surprised and impressed-but then they messed it all up because of rushing through it to get to the next story. Both ideas were interesting, but overall execution was bad.
