Euphoria's Nate Jacobs Explained: What's Really Behind His Terrifying Attitude
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- Euphoria’s Nate Jacobs at first seems like he has it all, so you’d think he’d be a pretty happy guy. But a happy guy Nate Jacobs most certainly is not. He’s a dangerous and spiteful presence, his anger and intensity fusing to form something much darker than your run of the mill teen meanness. So why is Nate so miserable - and so prone to taking his misery out on everyone else? Let’s take a deeper look at Nate’s story to analyze what’s really going on behind all of that anger - and what the true takeaway of his story really is.

The polar opposite of an empowered woman is a good man . That's why female narrcisim increases after therapy. While male sue oh side increases after therapy
Listen up, girls: YOU CAN'T CHANGE HIM.
Ye$$$
Oftentimes there's no fixing him, no matter how broken they are inside.
Yasss . Only he can change himself. And we don't owe therapy and compassion to evil people ( don't tell me Nate isn't evil , just broken . ) just because they're broken.
100000000% he will use abuse and throw you away over and over again.
‼️‼️‼️
Out of everyone in the show, Nate secretly hates himself the most, even more than his father.
How u say he is selfish and hurt others even beating innocent. How so evil can self hate. Rue hates herself
@@DkfinisherzzzIts not that complicated, think. It is human nature basics, hurt people hurt people. He hates himself the most and that is why he is so awful to everyone around him. Rue also hates herself and so she self-destruct. The only difference is that Nate hides his hurt, he acts like someone else so he repressed his feelings and hurt others, Rue doesn’t hide who she is, she does represses her pain through drugs tho and so she hurt herself.
as he should ha
@@DanieB322 boohoo... I hate myself so I am going to persecute evryone else around me.
Nate is an horrible person. Someone that is hurt and decide to hurt people in return is called a villain.
Someone that is hurt and decide to protect people from the same hurt is called a hero.
@@DanieB322 The thing repress nate is his homophobic? I dont think so maybe he doesn't want to express and that makes him happy. Maybe he just wanted to live like his dad who seems a high value rich man but has dark secrets which nate discovered. He seems to have a friends group and girlfriend even though he might not be truly connected coz he is selfish and so self centred. Selfish PPL it's hard to connect with others after a point but he is not an outcast or drug addict like rue who openly accepts she hates herself many times throughout the series. I don't understand why many PPL say he hates himself. Like some stupid ppl around me also says this to manipulate me into some things they want me to do so I am curious about this
Nate Jacobs is a brilliant character study of a person who hates himself so much but doesn't know why which leads him to put out his anger and frustration on others around him.
No talks about those pro hypergamy channels not confirming everything red Pill content but celebrates it.
And mostly from 🖤 women. Can we talk toxic affects then hypergamy.
Agreed he doesnt know why he hates himself or his father. After constantly watching the show, i cant figure out what the father did to him that makes him hate him so much. Is it because the father’s closeted sexuality? Is he afraid that he’s just like him with hiding his sexuality?

Someone like Nate never changes. They get worse. They gain more power and find both more powerful AND more helpless victims.
💯 this explains our entire patriarchy

Nate is such a complex character, and brilliantly played by Jacob Elordi. He's basically a more realistic and destructive version of Noah Flynn.
exactly!!! like in the movie when the guy was talking to the main character on the beach and noah just popped up and went "ShE SAId nO >:("
I think his pursuit of hypermasculity was/is a way for him to self-soothe that if he doesn't look in any way like his father's partners (underage boys) he wouldn't ever be in that situation (his father would not become attracted to him), as seeing the sex tapes at such young age scared and scarred him.
Spot on
Abusers are typically victims of abuse themselves, which is true with Nate. His trauma at his dad's hands has made him reject anything that isn't traditionally masculine.
The take is bias for hyper feminity
Abusers are not typicaly victims of abuse, just sometimes.
Sorry but I CANNOT process the take at 5:32 that Nate opened himself up to Jules and only blackmailed her after she got upset. He was going to blackmail her all along, that plan was was waaaay too detailed to have been made up on the spot. This has been a very forgiving take of Nate but that goes too far.
I think they meant nate didnt make the decison to blackmail jules until jules had her reaction..cuz yes he had blackmail as a contingency plan just in case this blew up in his face.
Another thing thats really interesting that I wish was explored more in this video is Nate’s relationship with his father and how his fathers repression of sexuality and toxic masculinity was passed down to his son. I also would’ve liked to see how Cal’s sexual repression has contorted itself into being something truly dangerous for Nate. I remember the episode where Cal and Nate fight and Cal has him pinned down and he’s inches away from his face and I seriously thought he was going to kiss him and it was just so gross and fucked up. The fact that they both are attracted to Jules is equally disturbing and says a lot about how they’re expression(or lack thereof) of sexuality is entwined.

He’s the ultimate entitled jerk. But Jacob Elordi did a great job with the character.
Nathan is an awful human being, I do not care that he is a kid, he has done some MESSED UP stuff. Hitting Maddie, beating Tyler within an inch of his life and then SAing him before sending him to jail for a crime he did not commit, SAing Rue, blackmailing Jules, his relationship and treatment to Cassie.
Nathan is such an entitled piece of crap, the fact that he is a kid doesn't change all the horrid stuff he and his father has done. Plus, compared to the other main characters, who all have financial burdens and other things, Nathan can fix himself because he has the support and love of his mother and brother, who both have money. But he chooses not to because he thinks his behavior is fine because everyone around him believes that he is entitled to be an asshole, which he is not. And thats the problem with this show!
Yes, Nathan bad behaver is on display, but like Maddie and her looks, its covered with rose petals and the makes it seem like its okay. Even his own actor has come onto social media and says that Nathan is not someone you should look up. But for some odd reason, the show and its young fans look at him like he is a sex symbol, and thats disturbing
That's because the actor playing him e super hot
@@jenlindley7780💯 Halo effect at work
it’s been a while since i’ve watched euphoria but i never got the impression that Nate SA’d Tyler?? how did you come to that conclusion? is it bc after he beats him up he’s taking a shower?? /gen
Lol his name is Nathaniel
I totally understand your point but it’s lacking empathy for his experiences that led him to being so awful.
Doesn’t mean his behavior should be excused but it’s understandable as to why he became pos.
He’d need like a ton of therapy, medication, and ownership to move forward and be a productive member of society.
I have no idea if the show will go that route or not.
Maybe they’ll have them just become more self-destructive and die or get arrested or something who knows.
This reminds me of the video analyzing why Regina from Mean Girls was miserable, and Nate and Regina actually share a lot of similarities. They are both obsessed with the ideas of hypermasculinity/femininity, they both have a partner that is considered desirable by people, and fandoms have been speculating that these two characters might be queer. But Regina eventually channels her anger into sport and grows into a different, happier person, while Nate is still Nate and uses sport as a coping mechanism. Characters like Regina and Nate show the danger of being fixated on a certain type of quality and repressing oneself.
Nate's character was SO interesting in season one! I wish they had continued to expand on those storylines for him in season two 😢
I appreciate you all putting in the work to give his character some depth, because it's more than the writers (sam) ever did. Interestingly all of his family have more interesting and consistent stories and more depth than he ever did, because they started with the premise of him being angry and that there was something more to it, but shifted to using his character as a plot device/jump scare to raise the tension, because Nate's anger and general lack of purpose or depth meant they could throw him into any situation and have him rage out without there needing to be a reason.
If you've ever seen Young Justice he's very similar to the character Violet who they kept gorily killing because she could resurrect herself. The impact quickly wears off when you use it to create fake tension because there's no long term effects to her death, same with Nate's anger. Do we actually care that he turned in his dad? Nope, cause his dad's a side character and Nate's a one dimensional villain. Why did he wait so long to get the video back from Maddie? Is it cause the writers forgot she stole it? Why not just take it back- why threaten her with a gun? Why was he with Cassie? How come the story completely ignored that he was dating his best friends ex girlfriend and his ex girlfriends best friend? The show either never focuses on how his actions impact him or his life or they make it so they never do, removing all agency and depth from his character and reducing him to a walking jump scare/plot device.
Notice how even tho he's apart of many storylines, none of them ever connect or impact him because none of them are his storylines- they're almost exclusively him advancing another character's story, usually by being an evil dick. it's clear that at some point, they intended to make him a real character, but he was just too useful as a plot device. The only saving grace is he's not alone in this- the only characters who are actually still characters are Rue, Jules, Fez (RIP) and Lexi once season 2 came around. Everyone else is just vibes
i absolutely despise this character, but he's extremely well written imo. thank you for this video
I still hate the character 🖕🏾
What I dont like about Nathan, and to some extent the creator himself (Sam Levison) is that Nathan not really going to be punished for his sin, that's my theory
He’s a white male of course no punishment.
Because it’s realistix
They never are in real life either and I think thats the point.
McSteamy has a kid in high school now…….I’m getting old
finally the nate jacobs analysis video from the take
Been waiting so long for this!
He is an amazing written character
Question: Whats wrong with Nate Jacobs?
Answer: Everything
Don't prepare your daughter for harsh world teach the world not be so harsh
Do both...
This is a very superficial take on Nate who is holding on to this.Horrible mortifying secret about his father and possibly something that happened to himself
He was always gonna blackmail Jules. But he was honest with her I guess
Jacob Elordi did a brilliant job portraying him
Cuz I am - and cuz I can - that’s why
I would love to start my acting career playing the female version of Nate Jacobs from euphoria
Nate I feel like a warning to many young women and for that matter even men, dont fall for good looks and achievements yes its quite human to fall for someone being enchanted by their beauty but one must look deep within, case in point amber heard and all that what im trying to say is nate is an excellent criticism of society's rule on what is good nate is handsome smart responsible successfull strong so ideal man for sciety but he uses his qualities for bad handsome to manipulate smart as in uses his intellect for harm responsible for lot of suffering successfull in ruining lives strong by ruling through fear, I could go on but yeah
Is he still alive? In the reality ofc?
I wish I can be ruthless and selfish but again years of being an empathy I feel it's so alienated to me that someone can hurt someone. I will take revenge on PPL who hurt me. But probably some PPL gets too powerful like nate and out of touch with empathy and thinking he is god in reality a bully. The fact there is always a group who doesn't even tell them how bad they r and just hype them just because the bully has money and everyone just fucking listens to money and power. So the bully thinks he is god. In my case even though my dad isn't portray bully seems nice and honest to others in reality a fucking arrogant who thinks he can do anything with this money. Since everyone listen to him for so long and always seems me from his POV I m being treated like shit. It's the POV and the impression someone creates of u and since the person is own dad and family plus rich so everyone just fucking listens to my fam solution and his demands. But in reality i m the one who got screwed for life. Still doomed future
I wish i cud be like selfish and hurt by hatred like nate but when i realise i have traits of rue.
Like rue falling without other PPL intention. Anxiety, depression and overthinking
Neck, jawline and chin spots are hormonal
Never watched the show. So, he's like that one guy from gossip girl?
wayy different lol
there's nothing wrong with nate being closeted gay what would be wrong would be writers not letting him be gay in the next seasons
Why now?
All of these Nate Jacobs videos suck no lie.
Nate who? You mean Felix?
❤
The same channel of office video which was relatable
its been 5 yrs since the show first premiered, almost 3 since the last szn, we dont give af nomore😂
What if he wasn't tall? How different would his life be if he had average height?
The reason is because the Patriarchy. It actually isnt all that good for men just the incredibly rich
I can fix him
Nah you can’t. He’s not real - he’s a fictional character lol.
Nate became my hero after they did that play, that was so mean lol
When this show comes back we should see if he is bi or a hetero
Yes he should be bi, and meet someone that changes everything for him. A real life partner.
These kind of utube video is just a version of narrator which can twisted completely by another narrator with completely different analysis. Like thse videos r so funny that they take certain aspects and assume. Liks obviously he is evil but other things like his traits r not like when u watch show. He connect with ppl then how the hell he had relationship with maddy for so long and circle of friends
Going therapy only makes feel empowered after a break-up
Women can't get enough of these types. 💯
Oh my god shut up
hes so babygirl idk
We shouldn't take lessions about real life from stories. The reasons we go to stories is escape from reality and how things work in reality. If look at a story as logical scenario your doing it wrong
Art reflects life and vice versa, it’s all interrelated. This has been true as far back as humanity goes, with storytelling, paintings, you name it.
You really shouldn’t ever study psychology, sociology, psychoanalysis or any humanistic topic closely related to mental health, if this is actually your attitude towards storytelling. You’re just so wrong.
Speak for yourself. Not everyone is looking for escapism.
