When that arcane video?
Are you gonna do riverdale soon?
Pls do the thundermans, tom hanks is in it the series is pretty weird
From nickeloldeon btw
hope you read this, when you were 15 you looked graet peaty much as you look graet now what is change is your Self Confidence.when you was 15 when you was 15
Downloaded it using your link. Your GF sold it really well 🙂
How are Nicola (Penelope) and Claudia (Eloise) in their thirties, yet convincingly play teenagers?! I must know their secrets!
It's somehow worse than Riverdale, and I don't even care.
Some people just look young. I'm almost thirty-one and people still ask me where I go to highschool. 😂
To be fair, they are not playing teenagers. Season 1 puts Penelope and daphne coming out at 21 (based on the book). So eloise would be 20 in season 1 and 21 this season. and penelope would be 21 and 22.
@@emilylewis5373 actually Eloise is 18yrs old when s2 takes place. 🙂
Eloise doesn’t look or sound like a teenager to me, every time she’s on screen it bugs me LOL. Penelope on the other hand…
Wait, that actually makes sense. If everywhere that she goes has a map, then Dora can't be an explorer. HOW MANY OTHER LIES HAVE I BEEN TOLD BY THE COUNCIL!?
According to google, an explorer is someone who explores an unfamiliar area. If you define unfamiliar as only pertaining to your own experiences then an area with a map can still be explored by yourself. Of course, you could also define unfamiliar area to mean a place nobody is familiar with or you could decide a map counts as familiarity which would alter your opinion on the matter.
tl:dr
its pretty much up to you to decide if she is an explorer or not
The way I wave this away is by thinking: The map is Map, a talking map! He's magic! Just because he's the guy you need to know when you got a place to go--doesn't mean he's gone there himself. He's, like, Dora's psychic sidekick!
My entire world view was shattered
You can totally explore places that already have maps. The difference between having a map of a place and knowledge of a place is all about context - you can have a Google map of a city so you can't get lost, but that's not going to tell you about the antique store that has a complete set of rose china that looks exactly like your late grandmother's that your mom has spent twenty years looking for or that awesome little bistro sandwiched between the Apple Store and Goodwill that serves those amazing little cucumber sandwiches or to avoid that one alley between the Metro Store and the butcher shop because of all the feral cats. You still need to explore the city a bit to learn about all of those little nuances that give any city its personality.
maybe she's also a cartographer
Ok, I though the "suitable hips for childbearing" was weird too, until someone pointed out to me that Anthony is scared of childbirth after watching his mother go through so much pain with Hyacinth, so he wants to be sure his wife will have a body less likely to experience complications
ppl at that time thought girls with big bottoms n hips have easy childbirth
so that was a criteria in arranged marriage especially by the mothers-in-law's
@@miaomiao1167 people thought that because it's true.
@@sokka780 There are different shaped pelvis that make childbirth easier, but you can't tell just by looking at a woman which kind she has.
Honestly, that makes perfect sense. The Georgian Era people didn't know everything about anatomy and understood that the best pelvic bones for child birth were more common in girls with wider hips. Nothing more, nothing less. And he doesn't want to fall in love in case his future wife dies in childbirth. He's probably of the mindset that no attachment is better because his mother was so broken from losing his father. It's actually rather logical. It, of course, just comes across like Anthony is an ass man to our modern senses
@@bboops23 Almost. He didn't want to fall in love, not because he was scared of his wife dying, but because he thought he was going to die young.
"Guys who have been sleeping around with every girl they found the whole year"
Finally someone said it. It was killing meee in the show:/
Yeah, that's the romance novel trope. Gross. An eligible man is one who is rich and has done the devil's tango at least 1000 times to prove he's manly and virile, and a worthy woman is beautiful and a virgin.
She shows she loves him by giving it up for him when she wouldn't for any other, and he shows his love for her by giving up all other women because he's found "the one."
Well its based on history and this is what used to happen a lot.
@@Andreamom001 I mean can you even blame that aspect when it's in fact based on the old days, the regency era. Women were pretty much treated as some properties and didn't have any significant privilege. 🤷🏻
Me too. The rake trope makes no sense in 2022!!!
Despite this trope I will absolutely stop reading a book if it had this trope
ive never imagined alex meyers as anything other than a disembodied voice so my jaw literally dropped at the face reveal
SAME LMFAOOOO 😭
looool he’s actually revealed his face before in other videos !
He actually used to do face cam videos a lot back in the day! Just gotta go back a couple videos before his first Riverdale vid =P
I knew what he looked like, but I still have a hard time connecting the voice to the picture lol
@@fuzzyapple THIS is me lol
I’ve noticed a lot of people that are considered conventionally attractive as adults, have a very awkward look to them in high school. Always found it interesting.
or even as kids
Stop dude, you're giving me hope
My wife looked 11 until she was 18. She's the most beautiful woman I know.
I looked like someone microwaved a Ken doll head and stuck it on the shoulders of a life-size Gimli doll until I was, like, 25. And my wife doesn't even make me wear the paper bag before we kiss anymore!
@@robertbeisert3315 That last part just took me out, I laughed so hard I got lightheaded
True true! I feel like the qwkward kids have the Ugly Duckling Syndrome... eventually they all Glow Up. And that's not q bad thing, speaking from experience. I think tho sometimes we forget how beautiful we turned out - dismorphia?
5:42
Wait a minute Alex makes a good point, Dora can't be an "explorer" if everywhere she goes is already mapped out.
Nah, since the map is magical, it's safe to assume that the map expands based on where Dora wants to go, making her a (telepathic) explorer
Exactly i thought am i the only one who noticed that 🤣 gosh
😩🤣🤣
Well that's not exactly true. She can't be a discoverer but she can definitely be an explorer. Exploring means to examine or investigate or to travel to or into (unfamiliar or unknown regions). You can explore a city you have never been in for example because its unfamiliar to you. It doesn't need to be unknown.
Funny, because I explored NYC when I went, although a map of it exists.
The problem i have with Eloise is that she's always saying and expressing the most. I totally understand that's she's a rebel but it's like she's constantly nagging and complaining etc. It gets old after a while.
Even Penelope is getting annoyed with her lol
Which is how I ended up team Penelope
it's like, i get what the writer was going for, but they executed it very poorly
Totally agreed!
I love Penélope & Colin's story! It's one of my favorites! 🥰
im that person who binges the whole season in a day then complains i have to wait over a year for the next one
same xD
Same
Same
Me too!!!
Same like I want to savor it and wait for a little bit between episodes but I can’t it’s so good
also, honestly, Kate and Edwina were two of the most gorgeous women I’ve ever seen in my life. like ever.
I'm not even South Asian but seeing deep brown skinned South Asian representation was *chef's kiss*. Also, jeez, can they save some pretty for the rest of us? How rude.
@@prettynpetty8342 I'm Indian though, but more than the representation I loved the fact that she fit the role of Kate so perfectly, i was surprised by her acting as well. In bollywood they themselves are very colorist and take only fair skinned girls, most times. Even when they remotely match the role.
@@winsomeyou1837 I know, I was so happy, Simone Ashley and Charitra Chandan killed it
The first time i ever saw something bridgerton related video was of Kate and Anthony and moment i saw Kate i was like "yeah i gotta watch it!"
Daphne??
I feel like Eloise's character could soar a lot more if the writers didnt try to be so on the nose with her feminist agenda. Or rather, if they portrayed her as a feminist properly. The way they wrote her lines make her seem like a stereotype rather than giving that dynamic a bit of depth. Regardless, Eloise is still my favorite. And the final scene where she discovers and confronts Penelope's betrayal is great.
I mean I think they have done a good job so far of writing someone who is immature still. Yeah she is starting to have some ideas around feminism, but they are rough and unformed due to her age and experience level. If they manage to have her mature into more wisdom that would fix a lot of issues with her and could actually be a pretty good character arc.
@@MissCaraMint I see what you're saying here, maybe I just disagree with the portrayal of what an immature political activist looks like. Again, it looks like theyre playing to a stereotype to me. Because we've seen this character before, in many TV shows, in many age groups and ethnic backgrounds. The way Eloise comes off doesnt feel like it has to do with her age. Does that make sense?
@@dra2521 I guess, but coupled with her so obvious lack of knowledge about how the maid got pregnant last season, she is just so obviously lacking in certain information that I just can’t see her as an attempt at a fully realized mature feminist. She is just too clueless and underinformed about the world. So maybe age isn’t exactly the whole of what I would blame it on either, but rather a mix of age and her very very sheltered upbringing.
@@MissCaraMint idk if youre getting what i'm meaning. And it's possible that there isnt a way to portray a young feminist without the annoying parts of it but what I'm saying is, my qualms with how she's written feel like the writers just took a glance at how society views feminists and threw it together. And it's fine to write a stereotype, it's fine to write an immature character in need of growth. And we can tell that Eloise is approaching that given the most recent season. Still, there's something about her that just bothers the hell out of me in the way she was written.
@@dra2521 I mean I think it’s just the «I’m not like other girls» thing which really is annoying, but also is a real phase girls go through. You know the one where they have a warped idea of how other girls are because scociety has forsefed them this idea that girls are two dimentional beings, but they themselvs know that they have lots of different interests so they end up commin tot he logical conclusion that they are special and unique for having half a brain. THey havent quite realized that other women do in fact have a brain as well yet. But seriously the «I’m not like other girls trope is very overused and does border on annoying». I’m being optimistic that this show doesnt fall into the trapof keeping her like that.
This is not a clever, intelectual show, and that’s fine. It doesn’t need to be. If I wanted something intellectually stimulating I can read or do something ells. This however is just fun, and a little sexy, and that’s enough.
exactly. plus the costumes and visuals are really fun
Yeah, it just needs to be entertaining.
Can u give me a example of a clever intellectual show
neither are marvel movies which are kinda dumb too let's be honest... but people are fine liking them...
@@lecibaby5368 The wire
I wouldn’t recommend Bridgerton to just anyone, but I am 100% its target audience. The show feels made for me to enjoy. I don’t even consider it a guilty pleasure anymore because I’m not guilty. I love that romantic shit 😩

I WILL SHAMELESSLY SAY I LOVED THE SECOND SEASON. THE CHEMISTRY WAS JUST INCREDIBLE
Loool what chemistry
agreed !!! so much better than the first season imo
@@GG-me1qz disagree
Agree ❤️
bro same I hated and can't even remember the first season but this season was chiefs kiss
What bugs me about this season is that they changed Edwina’s character. In the books, she was not interested in Anthony. She had feelings for a man named Matthew Bagwell, who was a scholar and academic. I just think that having Edwina in love with Anthony was unnecessary angst. If Matthew was added, it could have kept the relationship between the sisters from fracturing.
It's weird how people forgot the whole essence of a Regency era romance is secret glances and hand touch. They had a lot of it this season and tried to add more story than just steamy stuff, as criticized by the people in the last season. You can't make everyone happy, I guess. But this season was different and i enjoyed it, I was more into the story though as it differed from the book!
I meen, bigger the hips, wider the dress so they don't flare out cuz it too tight on the part.
If one more couple has sex in a garden and then rushes to get married Imma be mad. Political maneuverings are interesting and an occasional secret rendezvous is hot, but Bridgerton is definitely doing too much actual hookup.
Never thought I'd like the Featheringtons most because they actually make MOVES.
I was so mad that Edwina really did seem to have feelings for Anthony-- in the books she doesn't give two pounds about him and is genuinely happy when he and Kate get together as LITERALLY all the interactions she had with him was purely so Kate and Anthony could hang out. She was like you're gross but Kate would love you.
YES!! I felt the same! And Edwina was played so well! She was like Bambi looking for love and I was so mad at this season for betraying her way worse than books. Le sigh.
...I didn't know that was how the books were. Goodness, my heart breaks for her show version even MORE after knowing that...
@@musical-chick-134 YES and she had this amazing amazing love interest named Matthew Bagwell who was an academic and a scholar who she just fell head over heels for. he didn't see her as the diamond of the season but just as Edwina the bookish girl who loves learning. and it HURT when she didn't get that
Kate and Anthony did her sooooo dirty in the show. It’s sickening
omg what?!! Why did they change this? Edwinas character was so boring until she called off the wedding. I mean she basically didn't have a character until that point. And that Matthew guy sounds very interesting
I skip parts that make me roll my eyes, or not care about....but damn the show is addicting. Even for a fellow mid 30s man, whos wife doesn't watch the show.
Preach, it's pure escapism, even if nothing is realistic about it.
I think by virtue of being a woman and this being targeted towards me, I've very deliberately given it a wide sidestep. Same for pretty much everything live action aimed at women. Because I'm "NoT lIkE oThEr GiRlS" 🤪 lol. No, but I get tired of guys dunking on things meant for girls no matter how intentionally silly it is, so I've decided to just not involve myself with much of anything targeted towards us. Not that I would've been that interested anyways in most cases, but the act of a show being set for my demographic makes me ignore it.
Kudos to you for watching this, though :)
aka I always skip the sex scenes and watch everything else xD
I skipped every art school scene!
OH NOOOOOOOO!!! I have two girlfriends, but very few people on YT are happy for my relationship success. They disl*ke all of the videos I make with my 2 girlfriends. Please be kind, dear qi
As it turns out, Alex was your typical Netflix “ugly” 😂😂😂
The muttonchops joke is actually true. In the early 1800s, a man's face would be more clean when they were more serious about finding a wife. So when this seasons plot was him finding a wife, they intentionally did that because it was historically accurate. Good catch
The Jane Austen-esque writing tricks you into thinking it’s not fancy Riverdale
Oh my god yes
This is way too tame to be compared to Riverdale. We haven’t had a board game linked to the occult or alternate dimensions or whatever is going on in Riverdale this year.

I still don't get how Anthony could know who of them would have suitable hips... those gowns made them look like tubes of silk with "bosoms" lol
I can’t be the only one who finds Eloise’s “not like other girls” moping utterly infuriating and borderline unwatchable
it is infuriating but it kinda makes sense
I feel like it makes sense within the context of the time period of the show when you were literally not allowed to not be like other girls.
It’s infuriating, unwatchable and it’s extremely annoying because then people somehow think her behaviour is representative of her era’s feminism (no kidding, I’ve seen that multiple times despite Bridgerton being well… Bridgerton.) Like no, Eloise acts like an edgy 14 years in 2021 in a period inaccurate dress adding flourishes to her speech so it wouldn’t be TOO anachronistic
I find the character SUPER annoying, I can't stand her.
@@nbucwa6621 actually you were. Majority of these girls would become nuns. It was accepted by society. Sometimes they would simply not marry, like happened with Jane Austen. The man she loved couldn't marry her due to financial issues, so she remained unmarried and lived off her books.

“bridgerton is dumb but i can’t stop watching it” don’t run from us alex we saw that unedited title
I mean, Marvel movies are hella dumb too, but I can't stop watching it haha
Enjoying dumb things is ok 🫂
Honestly Alex saying his glow-up was at 29 has given me renewed hope and purpose. Shout out to him. 👍
I've rewatched Bridgerton like 6 times in 2 years anticipating the new season lol. Every time, my husband did that thing where he's NOT watching it by standing in the doorway or sitting on the arm rest before walking away, etc. Finally started the new season and I hear from the doorway, "where did Sploodge to the Left Guy go??" lolol just wanted to share 🤷🏽♀😆
I liked this season more that the previous one..the chemistry between Kate and Anthony was very good. And their attraction was very nuanced and sexy, not semi porn0.
I completely agree, I really didn't like Daphne and her storyline just kind of bored me, but this season there were so many interesting things happening, although Eloise kind of got on my nerves sometimes.
I agree. I felt the same too
Right they only had two sex scenes towards the end but in s1, my god Daphne and Simon were already at it in ep 3😭😭
Exactly!
Daphne and Simon were doing the absolute most and it was tiring

@@edithputhy4948 lol same i don't get more attractive, or more confident, i just seem to become less "marketable" or whatever the word for it is i forget
i just LOVEEEE the south asian, specifically south indian representation that was shown bc it’s not everyday there’s good representation that’s accurate and doesn’t come w over exaggerated accents or other stuff like that
Twice the hips is because he’s traumatized of what his mother went through and doesn’t want his wife to go through it and the possibility of having to choose :(
Okay but like can we talk about how Alex is literally the "Be careful who you call ugly in middle school" dude
I just wanted to say that in my opinion, the best character of the series is Benedict. He's nice, kinda funny, his story different from others. Plus he isn't aggressive like Anthony
His lovely, chilled lifestyle and artistic dreams sustained by his agressive brother's purse 😉
Benedict is my favorite character.
@@DanielleSantos711 Especially after that drugged tea scene!
Kinda hope they scrape his whole book story 😂😂 and give him something more interesting not that Cinderella nonsense he has in the books
He's just too carefree though, I like Colin
I honestly want more Francesca content. They kinda just forgot she existed in season 1 and then gave her nothing in season 2. Justice for Francesca.
She's been recast for season 3, presumably to play a bigger role.
...Googling Francesca.
Ah. Well as someone who hasn't read the books this plot didn't seem to have anything to do with her, I'm fine with a random sibling being a side character.
"Bridgerton is the dumbest show, but I can't stop watching it..." is so accurate it heals the soul to know I'm not alone. lol
I know Regé-Jean Page did not want to continue with the show but I hope he changes his mind.
It would have been nice to see Simon walking through the season, hugging Daphne, playing with and carrying Augie, exchange a few words with Lady Danbury and Anthony (and Will) and just have a few present moments. I feel like this season had a better and more comfortable vibe and flow, and if it continues to do so in the next seasons, such little performances of him would fit right in.
he actually did want to continue but was given only one season contract :(
@@kp782 oops. Thanks for correcting ':-)
@@kp782 yeah that's why I stopped watching. poor guy didn't want to have kids, daphne forced him to and then they booted him off the show!

@@kp782 why didn't they renew it though? I thought he was a very popular character.
Everyone had a one year contract but he started a new project
If it weren’t for Kate Sharma, I wouldn’t have any reason to watch S2 at all. She’s practically the cherry on top. I’m personally not a huge fan of slow pacing in shows, and I also feel like there are some scenes that kinda dragged on, which is a bit of a bummer for me. I feel like this particular season paid more attention to other subplots/character arks rather than the actual PLOT of this season. It makes it seem like Eloise and Penelope are the main couple or something, when in actuality, they’re not. Anyway, I still have hope for S3. Hopefully we get to see more Kathony moments by the time that comes out.
Remember it's based on the books though so they have to get it as close as possible to that plot
The side plots are the *only* reason I’m watching S2. I couldn’t care less about Kate or Anthony, I’m purely here for Eloise and Pen and literally every other character
They probably did this cuz they want to incorporate every single story in like 3-4 seasons. I read all the books (8 books and one “what happened in the happy ever after?”), and trust me there’s a LOT they actually had to skip cuz it would’ve taken even longer. All the subplots actually have a whole book on their own so imagine what they had to do to squeeze them into one season.
oh good i wasn’t the only one who thought Eloise and Pen would get together
I disagree. I think their relationship is actually extremely central to the plot. Theirs is possibly the most important relationship of the series
I'll do say S2 main love story is definitely better than the first.
I was wayy too invested in them than I ever was Daphne and Simon. Kate and Anthony were simply more fun to watch and had excellent chemistry too.
Bridgerton season 2 was much improved, I think that's mainly because Daphne was barely in it. I dunno, I don't really find her nervous face fun to look at. The scenes she was in were generally useful, so yeah. Thank god she wasn't in much of it.
Also thought the sex scenes were surprisingly a lot more tasteful lol. Like "I could show my mum this show and not be hella embarassed" level, unlike season 1.
Ah literally the only CZcamsr left that is hilarious while doing a recap. Mad respect .
Edit: damn looks like I just didn’t know many. Thx for the recommendations guys.
True
Who da **** r u
High boi ?
@pitchmeeting too
Friendly space ninja and Amanda the Jedi are also great
Bridgerton season 2 is so much better than season 1. it was really written well and the two main love interest this season; Anthony and Kate have way more chemistry than season 1’s Daphne and Simone in my opinion
Indeed, I liked Kate and Anthony's chemistry more, and there were fewer steamy sex scenes, and more story.
I do honestly agree. Not to say I hated season 1 but I am a sucker for kanthony
100% agreed I didn't even finish one episode of the first season of bridgerton but I watched season two in one day
If they follow the book, three will be the best one. It's a Cinderella retelling.
I found season 2 to be boring compared to the first, it lacked stupid drama S1 had. I had bigger hopes with Anthony and Eloise being the main characters.
Then hearing about how it went in the book I wonder why they changed it because it would have made S2 a lot better imo.

The fact that Alex thinks that Eloise is a main character this season very nicely illustrates my issue with the show.
to be fair, the show is going based off the books (loosely) but each book focuses on each child. It’s supposed to go down the line. Idk why Daphne’s first bc it’s supposed to go oldest to youngest but at Anthony is when we start going down the line lol
they need to merge the storyline more, or otherwise actors are gonna walk. iirc that was the major reason simon didn't come back, his actor didn't just want to cameo but an actual storyline

I watched this video a month ago without having never seen Bridgerton. I am back now to tell you that Kate and Anthony is S2 have the most astonishing chemistry I have ever seen. I watched the show by curiosity but stayed and became addicted because of these two. Now I want a spinoff with just them!!!! Amazing actors!!!
Did you the person who played Anthony is actually gay irl
another season of the bridgertons somehow scoring the hottest, sassiest and coolest poc love interest i guess
Amazing really.
Is this some alternate history? Because that isn't accurate to our history.
@@fireblade295 i mean duhhh im pretty sure the show is aware of that.
its supposed to be alternative history.
honestly i dont like the show not because of its performative casting, but because of the toxic romance tropes, excusing r*pe done by a female, and lack of character development. the historical inaccuracy is excused bcs its p much fantasy at this point.
@@fireblade295 yea the show is not even trying to be historically accurate from the casting down to the costume design etc. It's being presented as an alternate world/escapist fantasy. It does work for what it's supposed to be I suppose
@@fireblade295 yeah I forget what it is specifically but in season 1 they mention an event in history in this universe that made it so everyone is equal and stuff much earlier on.
@@afriendlypoltergeist4073 the relationship portrayal in this show is actually quite good. Everything toxic is presented as negative. Even the nonconsensual part of intercourse was criticized (more so out of the show than inside, but the consensus is clear). And which characters are lacking development in your opinion?
I cried much more than I expected to this season but then again, it’s not often I am actually able to relate or see myself in the leads as a South Asian women. Just watching Kate and Edwina Sharma as the romantic leads made my heart full.
Those scenes with the mom and the child birthing and the dad...lord I cried
for sure! like Crazy rich asians not really making sense as a plot, but I still enjoyed it because of the representation (althogh they mainly showed only fairer skinned southeast asians on the show...)
Actually, "suitable hips" is probably a reference to how women with "good hips" were supposed to be better when it comes to pregnancy, or something like that.
At least, I think, never watched this show.
I haven't either but historically you are correct, good hips were covertted.
This season made me absolutely feral. It’s a shame it wasn’t at least 2 episodes longer. The ending felt like there was a lot missing
Season 2 was much better than season 1. Slow burn, angst and yearning, that's what I want!
Am I the only one who watches Alex’s videos and wants to watch the show featured even if he says they’re terrible?
I sometimes watch his videos so that I can figure out what to watch
Ditto, I mostly watch movies or TV shows through his videos now!
I start Riverdale at Season 2 because of this guy and I have never looked back. It's all over for me now.
no, youre not XD I even considered watching fifty shades of grey bc of his recap, even tho I know i will hate it.. Thats alex' magic XD
I just finished the season, and came back to see if we had the same criticism!
"dearest gentle readers, did you miss me?" and kristen bell saying "heyy upper-east siders, did you miss me?" have the EXACT same vibe. its not the just what they're saying but the smugly sweet tone too.
Kate and Eloise are gorgeous women. I was thoroughly captivated by their performances. I read the book series years ago and was really excited to learn about thisTV series. They went a bit off the rails with the storylines but it's still very enjoyable. I hope Julia Quinn is just as happy with the finished product.
Season two was way better than the first, the characters felt more real, motivations and choices were justified for good reasons and it wasn’t overly sex based like the first. Btw Kate Sharma 💍?
Seeing your face hurts my brain. Your voice is attached to your little animations in my mind... Seeing an actual human being with your voice behind it made my brain blue screen
Alex: *talking about how he looks like now* "This is the culmination of years of efforts."
Me *drinking my water* "So relatable man, I totally get you."
Honestly, Lady Whistledown turning into Jigsaw would be more interesting than the rest of the series.
Elouise being sick of life is such a mood
“Thanks for putting a band-aid on a severed limb, mom.”
Ok honestly I kinda like that expression and I may or may not start using it irl
HELL YA! THE STORYTIMES ARE BACK!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉😄😄😄 loved hearing about your before and after story😂👌🏼 it’s so common for people to change after high school, I’m surprised so many people were questioning you!!!
I love how honest and real you are in sharing you high school stories! You’re one of my fave CZcamsrs!
i watched the whole second season yesterday and I recognized I went so deep into the show.
I was like "Oh NO!!!! She wrote him SECRET LETTER. How dare she."
or "A noble woman with a working class man. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!" 😂
😩🤣🤣
I feel the same way like oh no they got caught looking at each other they MUST marry now
Same. All those scenes with Anthony and Kate so close and almost kissing in public I was literally saying "leave space for Jesus!" 💀
@@damainrom one bible needs to fit in between
I was like “She was alone with him without a chaperone! For shame!” 🤣
I finished entire season 2 in just one night and boy it was worth it 😍
I unabashedly enjoy this show. Like, it SHOULD be a guilty pleasure, but eff it. It’s fun and pretty, has some good writing and acting, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
11:00 I actually never believed glow ups like this could happen in your everyday life, you know? I just don't see any of my classmates turning into something like that lol.
Gotta respect a good glow up. The most attractive adults are people who were losers in school. Yes I include myself. :)
I love your storytime stuff. Its crazy how relatable it all is.
You should do derry girls! It’s a great show and the actress who plays Penelope is in it!
Idk but Eloise was the only reason why I watched season 2 😅 I was even more invested in her than the MC’s
dont ever feel bad bout the way you look if you never put yourself out there you'll never know if someone out there is right for you
I, too, realized this season that the series is named Bridgerton because it focuses on the their family 😅
I didn’t even finish the first season I thought it was awful but after hearing a bit a season 2 I decided to watch it and I actually liked it.
I thought 2nd season would be awful but it wasn’t too bad.. although the characters hated each other so I don’t know what to think of that.
If someone told me this show had a majority womens writer's room and they wrote for majority female audience, I would beleive them. I EAT THIS SHIT UP. 1st season is still my fave so far.
I had to pause the video and face palm when Alex realized why Bridgeton is called Bridgeton 😂😂😂
Finally, one of your videos I'm old enough to watch as the rest well I'm way too old to sit through. Glad to keep being a sub after all these years, miss Charlies & the Ferrets.
You know what made me subscribe? Your witty sense of humour and hard work on the animation.
Thank for your story time. I can totally relate. 🙂
Don't worry Alex I'm the loser in my high school to that wants to date any guy that looks at me. I know your pain. But tbh you look a lot better than I do.
not too late to wait for your final glow up too xD
And i was the same.. fell for every guy who was once nice to me. buuut i think i kinda got my glowup now... well.. i hope xD
its a shame that society made teenagers think they have to look like celebrities in middle school and highschool. you're going though purberty, you're gonna have acne and things you don't like. you won't look like you just hopped off the Victoria Secret Angels runway and thats okay. Growing up is the time for evolving.
Jesus loves you
@@unofficialbeautyqueen6624 💯 this. I love your comment
@@unofficialbeautyqueen6624 that's true. But teenagers "having to look like celebrities" is always gonna be a thing. For years, even now that I be graduating high school soon. I was always told that you had to be thin to be pretty and that you had to wear makeup to be pretty. But I'm not thin luckily I'm not 600 pounds and I'm more cubby than anything but because of that stigma of body weight. Everyone made me feel ugly and not pretty at all. I also really dislike makeup not my thang but every person I see around me wears it so I feel like I'm force to wear it. I don't but I feel the pressure.
I was really hoping during the first season that Eloise was secretly sapphic… That would have been a way more interesting plot line to follow
And she has a secret crush on Penelope! I personally wish she was aro/ace… but they probably can’t do that cause she’s a Bridgerton kid and has to have her season
Not every free thinking woman that rejects society’s expectations in period dramas has to be a lesbian. Not every tom boy character has to be a lesbian. Not every strong female character has to reject femininity as well as be a lesbian. These are such tired tropes.
@@Sam-nz3vj no, not every woman, but is it wrong for me to hope for a sapphic character in this type of genre? Cause guess what, there’s little to none.
@@sirmoriarty8230 but why does it have to be the only feminist in the whole show? Why can't Hyacinth turn out to be gay in her season, for example? Haha
@@erikperhs_ Maybe because Eloise was one of the leads from the start? A minor character being LGBTQ+ is the only rep we get in big things that aren't solely suppose to be *about* LGBTQ+ people.
Quite frankly I don't really care who they would make Sapphic. I very, very highly doubt they would even consider it, but still. The reason I was hoping Eloise was, was because 1. she's a lead character, and 2. she wasn't like 12
10:25 This is literally Metro Man and Roxanne irl
I feel like the "neo-puberty" of approaching 30 is where the "finished product" image really kicks in, like you mentioned
The teenhood puberty is more like a phase juxtaposed to the stress of high school, which takes its toll
Nonetheless, thanks for sharing and motivating from that bit at the end
I love season 2 but I wanted Kate to do more. It just felt like he was doing all the work and showed that he cared and all that stuff. Yet all she did was show attitude, kiss him back, and say "I love you" after he said it. I wanted her to do something for him or say some sweet sappy shit to him, but it never really happened.
She is a woman, she can't be forward, in those time.. Also her sister thing is there..
She did calm him down during the bee incident
@@dhritidutta6231 That has nothing to do with it. She also couldn't hunt but she went to do that anyway. She gave everybody a lot of attitude all the time. She could've done more
@@JST03 exactly she had an attitude and always looking to argue, couldn’t stand her character
same. for some reason she lost a lot of her personality once the romance with Anthony began.
Alex, this has got to be one of the funniest episodes you have made yet! I was laughing and snorting through the whole video. You always make me laugh, and I really appreciate it.
your end credit scene this episode cracked me up, youre awesome man im happy to have been a subscriber since your like 7th video♥️
I just watched these two videos. And now I've already watched the first two episodes of Bridgerton and I FREAKING LOVE IT. WHY?
i love ur critics on shows but ngl i’m obsessed with bridgerton
"In my head, I don't even see myself looking like this now"
Prime jokes in this one. Both on the show and from Alex on himself. Still not watching Bridgerton, like I see you trying to Pride and Prejudice your way into my heart. Nope. Nope. Not gonna happen.
Thanks for bringing that last off topic conversation segment, Alex, I truly appreciate it. You’re awesome, btw, man.
I actually didn't know about the show until I watched your video, so I started bingeing the show and it was awesome can't wait for season 3 I read on Twitter that they are also working on a spinoff about the queen and the king and Young lady brigerton and Lady Danbury, seems like a great idea Can't wait!!!
The realest thing he ever said is at the end of the video when you're ugly during your school years and then you finally get cute when you grow up you still don't feel attractive 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Alex I just want to point out that Eloise is not the focus of this season (although I assumed you kinda knew that) Each season is based off of each book of the 8 books that each focus on one siblings love story. So this season is focused on Anthony’s. I wouldn’t say that Eloise isn’t a big focus this season, it’s just not that the whole season is about her debut because in all honesty it doesn’t come up as much.
This damn show is addictive and I watched the entire second season the day it came out 😂 it’s so bad but so good
I swear I could watch an entire season of Alex just riffing on shows like this.
Thank you for bringing back the outtro! Before it felt like things ended abruptly
I missed the Storytime wrap-up, thank you for bringing it back :)
I don't think I've ever let my jaw stop so low when looking at something shocking like I did when I saw Alex's picture- MAN YOU'RE FIRE!
Ya boy Alex is living proof that people really can get Neville Longbottom-ed as they age (start off looking dorky then turn into a paragon of attractiveness)
