Going from a stupid 13yr old who read and loved the original fanfictions and the books to a hardcore feminist who despises these stories is my biggest achievement. True character development.
Dont call yourself stupid! Alot of us convinced ourselves that this was romance and this sort of toxic cycle was the ‘heated romance’ we should all want. We were all tweens influenced by movies, books, shows growing up that this was what a passionate love meant, what else could we do but believe it, we were 13 :(
@@user-oy5hb5nq5hso true 😭 it was society conditioning us that abuse & neglect is true love. & other stupid shit like “be a girl that’s just like the guys & not like other girls 😍” ughh. I’m so glad we as a whole saw how toxic & awful that mindset was.
I am really curious, in Germany many women (20 years old and older) are going into these After Movies, they also love Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight, why are these women loving Bad Boys?💎

this is so much funnier when you realise the actor that plays hardin is literally called “hero” and his real full name, which literally seems like it’s written as a british character for a one direction fan fiction is: hero beauregard faulkner fiennes tiffin and as a briton with a really boring name I kinda have to stan
the bookstores in my country are getting filled with published fanfictions to the brim :) would never wish this upon my worst enemy. they come with easy big fandoms but the content quality is just not there
Can you imagine voluntarily doing so much math for a romantic gesture? How did Hardin win. HOW. And what were they thinking? Your options are the guy willing to do math for your and fix your problems and is hot versus the guy who CAUSES all of your problems and is a hot mess. AND SHE DOESN'T PICK DYLAN? Madness
it’s actually a miracle i turned out okay (ish) when i was 12 years old waiting week to week for a new chapter of this shit show to drop on wattpad like literally i was sitting on THE PLAYGROUND of my MIDDLE SCHOOL reading a graphic sex scene after he’s just stalked her and read through her texts and beat someone up
Like when I read twilight in 5th grade. That’s what adolescence is for though, having the worst introduction to sex ever and then not being corrected by your sex ed class. That’s the American dream
The trailer for the next one features Tessa in a wedding dress. I just went to watch Barbie, leave me alone with your insanely toxic happily ever after kbye
What kills me about this whole "fanfic into movie trend" is that its always the trash. There's so many briliant fics out there. Stories with lines and plots and twists so profound I recover from them to this day. But no, they instead film whatever the hell this is. Infuriating.
Thank you! I hate the idea that people who have never read fanfics before and saw these movies are just going to get this generalized idea that all fanfics are bad, since they just happened to pick the worst ones out there to make popular movie franchises about. 😑
One of my favourite things about After reviews of any kind is that everyone collectively agrees that that's Dylan Sprouse. Not the character, I to this day don't know the character's name, because we all agree that's Dylan Sprouse X'D
@@dreamingofthemoon After commenting, I scrolled and saw another comment mention that, and lost my entire shit X'D Yes, correct, that's the only way I remember what his character is called X'D
And Hardin frequently calls her Theresa, because all the toxic men in these I Can Fix Him novels always call the woman by her full first name - Isabella, Anastasia, etc.
the way that in the book the "challenge" isn't that he can make her fall in love with him but that he can take her virginity is literally wiiiiillllldddd like i wanna know who allowed this book to become a movie let alone a SERIES
the best movie theater experience that i’ve ever had was for the first after movie where the theater was absolutely packed with girlies and everyone was groaning and heckling the movie together. it was beautiful
it's so fun how thinking hardin's actor is doing an absolutely atrocious fake british accent and googling him only to find he's actually british irl is a universal human experience. peace and love on planet earth
Jfc imagine turning in a super creepy/cringey/badly written paper about how in love you are with some chick in your class and the fucking professor just gives it to her to read!!! MORTIFYING
Also as a total side note, I published my first book today and I have anxiety, so I'm staring at the loading "in review" screen just losing my mind convinced I just put out garbage, so there couldn't be a more timely reminder that I could put literally anything out there and not feel bad when this series exists. Carley and Anna Todd truly doing the lord's work.
i relate to this so hard. watching or reading bad versions of what you do is so healing because you don't have to be perfect, in fact many people do what you do POORLY and still have success lol
I promise you, there is no way your book is as bad as this piece of garbage lol. As a side note, I admire your bravery! Not trying to be condescending or anything, it’s just I know how scary it is to put one’s work out there. I’m looking to publish my writing too, but I’m too nervous and don’t know how to get it published in the first place lol😭

it should also be noted that after the second movie about five characters were recast including tessa’s mum, her boss’ wife and landon, so the cast was almost unrecognisable aside from tessa and hardin😭
Didn't he block Anna Todd on Twitter? And I'm pretty sure that she invited his mum and his sister to the premier of the first movie. So he definitely knows they exist.
ugh that feels so icky. I feel like if these movies have a right to exist than the man has a right to block them out of his mind. Inviting his family to the movie premiere just feels like an invasion
As someone who has been in corporate America for 25 years, I can tell you the work trip to the club and all that happens is the most realistic thing in this movie. 😂
You probably can guess, but the books/fanfic are so much worse 😭 in the book, the bet that Hardin made was to take Tessa's virginity and show the proof (condoms and the sheet) to his friends, and guess what? He does it. Even after saying he "loves" her, he has sex with her, he keeps the sheets with blood from her first time, shows it to his friends AND accepts money for it (because he won the bet). It was the most disturbing thing I have ever read. Of course Tessa forgives him, because he cries in front of her or whatever, and he keeps being an asshole in the other books, one time Hardin finds out Tessa kissed Zed (when they were not together), so he goes to Zed and beats the shit out of him, breaks his nose, causes damage to the university's laboratory (and gets away with it), he calls her a whore more than once, is always breaking stuff when they fight, in one scene she KNEELS in front of him to beg for his forgiviness (don't remember if that's only in the fanfiction and not in the book for obvious reasons, but it's there)...awful.
Honestly, the books should be read as a textbook example of abuse: emotional, mental, and psychological. Like Amanda Todd, bestie, what were you thinking.
the way i GASPED at how the last movie ends, they really just watched the all too well music video and zero critical thought said but what if tessa was jake gyllenhaal
No because I read the first book when I was young and remember the author included if this was a movie in the book she keeps up with Taylor so there’s no way it wasn’t unintentional.. LOL
@@Ceeayejayy yes in the movie at least and it’s so sinister too because he doesn’t care at all he sees nothing wrong with capitalizing off of their traumatic relationship and how that will further traumatize Tessa he gives up “working things out” with Tessa for fame and money I’m sure he’ll back track in the next movie and I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised it is Hardin after all 🙄 but truly I was shocked how he made her the bad guy for being upset he wrote a book about her life without her consent
I’ve been trying to get a job in publishing for the past 2 years and Tessa being like ‘teehee I’m not sure’ over an amazing offer makes me want to scream lol
It crazy to me that Tessa being 19-year old girl went to a club with their older coworkers where I assume she shouldn’t be cause she’s not even legally allowed to drink
my friends and i are in a toxic relationship with this franchise. every time there is a new movie we experience the torment together. there’s yelling and joking and bad wig choices and after it’s always like “wow! that was really bad and im mad now!” 10/10 bonding do recommend
fun fact: gracie abram's song "feels like" is about the time that her and her friend took the train from nyc to fairfield connecticut to watch the after movie.
i don't know about other companies, but publishing is really not in the best of times right now so there is no way they would just throw a bunch of money away on some irrelevant people
From wikipedia: "A fifth installment titled After Everything is currently in post-production, while a prequel and an additional sequel centered around the children of the series' main characters are also in development. "
When I first moved to Atlanta I didn’t know anyone and thought it would be fun to be an extra and I ended up doing it for the first after movie and man, it was rough. I was there for like 12 hours through the night for the truth or dare party scene and the cast was “intense” to be around. Khadijha was so kind and genuine though.
Omg I bet it was funny too that’s crazy. I‘m always thinking that the extras always kind of side eye the actors and the scripts especially with the reputation these movies have while filming. Do you still act?
I wish ppl knew how much worse the toxic relationship in the original watt pad can fiction was… reading the og at 12 years old makes me feel like a veteran and was definitely not good for my developing brain 😭 also the mom situation is so much darker in the original- (trigger warning for SA) he literally sees her get um gang***** as a kid and it is way more graphic and detailed in the description than it needed to be…And now looking back I’m like why would that be used as a way to humanize HIM????
I love that Carley HATED the experience of watching these movies and was “all right AT LEAST I’m gonna monetize this, otherwise what have I just wasted my time on”
I just turned 17 so i wasnt old enough to have had a wattpad phase but im thankful bc based on the fact that im in a hunger games phase rn I probably would have been a victim of wattpad
"she can do a high poneytail and NOT turn into a hard boiled eggs" made me throw back my entire lunch. Carley bestie I will SUE you for this. As a big forehead girl myself this joke made me so happy I'm still cackling lol.
It’s crazy because Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s accent was basically the same as a child when he played young Voldemort in the flashbacks. Both these roles have clear undertones of malevolent evil.
Same. I know nothing of these movies. I just love her take on pretty much everything. But now after watching this I want to go watch this train wreck so I can feel like a part of the community. 😂😂😂
As much as I hate my office job I am beyond grateful it's not like Tessa's internship. Me and like 10 old ladies and 1 tired gay man and the only drama is WHO IS EATING CHIPS IN HIS SILENT OFFICE MAKE IT STOP.
Only ten minutes into the video and this After already sounds like it was written by someone who thought or dreamt they took a beginner’s creative writing class (one that only covered the bare bones of characters and story) and are like: NAILED IT!!!
I still will never get over the fact that everyone thought Hardin’s actor was faking his accent when he’s ACTUALLY English 💀💀 how do make your own accent sound unnatural
briefly read this title as 'i watched *every movie*' and my first thought was to admire your dedication rather than question how that would even be possible. just so u know the sort of feats my brain assumes you're capable of :)
the best part of this is that any part of the movies can be summarized with the words "who cares!" and i wholeheartedly agree, thank your for this carley, you're a real trooper
Forever grateful I only read the gay one direction fanfics and never voluntarily subjected myself to this. You are doing a great service for letting me experience this without lifelong trauma
carly will be in my thoughts and prayers today for going through this all by herself. i can only imagine the amount of sheer tolerance and grit it must've taken for her in this expedition. truly an icon through and through.
Okay but no feeling will compare to binge reading this on wattpad on my Christmas vacation in my senior year of high school when I was obsessed with Harry Styles
i work in publishing and i don't even get paid a living wage. the most unrealistic part of this trilogy is the boundless generosity of the publishing industry towards a junior employee
This video led me to watch all 4 movies and I sadly will be in theaters seeing the 5th one because I'm too invested in the drama. It feels like Stockholm syndrome and I'm officially trapped in the lore of everything and I can't escape even though it is so awful.
The worst crime of the After series is that it inspired my mother to write a novel-length age-gap self-insert Wattpad fanfic of her own about Luke Hemmings
Never seen any of these movies or had the slightest inclination to but dagnabit if this video wasn’t absolutely amazing. Love you for what you do for us. The lords work, truly.
My friend and I decided to get drunk and binge watch the entire series for the laughs, and only after we were both blind drunk did these movies make sense. Harden trying to burn his mother's house down could only be understood after you've had 16 fireball shots. Highly recommend
The popularity of the After movies and After books makes me really really question people's reasoning in romanticizing and liking toxic relationships o.O
your commentary videos are like if the essence of Glee was a youtube channel. absolutely unhinged in the most entertaining way possible. A real "just like me fr" in the most "I need therapy" of ways. Truly inspirational.
Also it's funny that they say that in a romantic kind of way when wuthering heights is anything but a romance and comparing your relationship to Catherine and Heathcliff is outing yourself as in an unhealthy abusive relationship pfuhejrfe
@@LS-vq2or their relationship was soooo toxic, the whole time Hardin and Tessa keep doing senseless things yet getting back together nd breaking up over nd over , cause the 12 yr old child who wrote it on watt pad probably couldn’t come up with anything else
it's like. Harden is Harry obviously. Zedd is Zayne. Noah is Niall. Landon is Liam. Same number of syllables, same starting letter - when you get a name like Zedd it's like. this is fanfiction.
There’s no amount of journaling or hot girl walks that can beat down the trauma you’ve sustained this day bestie
unfortunately this is true
Going from a stupid 13yr old who read and loved the original fanfictions and the books to a hardcore feminist who despises these stories is my biggest achievement. True character development.
More character development than any character in the after series got for sure

hero beauregard faulkner fiennes tiffin
and as a briton with a really boring name I kinda have to stan
anna todd heard style play on the radio and ran straight to wattpad with a dream and a lack of any idea what a healthy relationship is
literally there are 0 healthy relationships in all four movies

Crazy how many fanfics about actual people have been getting turned into movie franchises

It’s because One Direction had a massive fandom, so that’s a huge built-in audience.

Imagine just like doing maths, let alone that much math , I could never.
I aspire to be as good a boyfriend as Dylan Sprouse would’ve been
"I'd gladly spend a lifetime doing taxes with you" vibe

the craziest thing about this for me is that the hardin guy is actually british and his accent is REAL. we don’t claim it
RIGHT i thought he was american
Looking him up, I think it's because he's a nepo baby from London and he's trying to do a working class accent (haven't seen the movie)

Happened to my cinema too! Just that it was pretty mixed actually, two boys in front of me were especially annoyed by Hardin lmao
For me it was a tiny cinema in the german countryside, just a handful of girls and when it was over everyone went "... that's it?"
😅😂😂 those were fun to hear...It didn't released here but the fourth movie was in the top 10 for 4-5 weeks on Netflix and I was shocked
I truly still think the most surprising thing about this movie is the fact that they were able to get Selma Blair to be a part of this atrocity
IKR
How much money could they have possibly paid her for THIS????
Even Dylan Sprouse and Peter Gallagher
it's so fun how thinking hardin's actor is doing an absolutely atrocious fake british accent and googling him only to find he's actually british irl is a universal human experience. peace and love on planet earth

I hate when authors use female trauma to develop male characters like leave us alone
carley deserves endless vegan tacos for her latest battle against brain rot for content
omg thank you
the way i just physically reacted with excitement when i saw the runtime of this
hell yes get a snack
I have no interest in these movies but Ill watch a 40 min video essay on it in a heartbeat
relatable
they're so committed to the relationship and for WHAT
carley: i will not be silenced ad-roll carley: i have to whisper
silenced yet again 😔
I love that Carley HATED the experience of watching these movies and was “all right AT LEAST I’m gonna monetize this, otherwise what have I just wasted my time on”
I just turned 17 so i wasnt old enough to have had a wattpad phase but im thankful bc based on the fact that im in a hunger games phase rn I probably would have been a victim of wattpad
yes you would have fallen victim to wattpad
Trapped In An Island With Josh Hucherson
25:50 i don’t think people realize that’s like true romance right there like i would cry if someone did that for me
"she can do a high poneytail and NOT turn into a hard boiled eggs" made me throw back my entire lunch. Carley bestie I will SUE you for this. As a big forehead girl myself this joke made me so happy I'm still cackling lol.
im happy you feel seen fivehead bestie
It’s crazy because Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s accent was basically the same as a child when he played young Voldemort in the flashbacks. Both these roles have clear undertones of malevolent evil.
Yes. This is Tom Riddle’s college romance at Hogwartz
Even if I am not slightly curious about the subject, I will listen to her commentary on anything because she is hella entertaining and funny. :P
omg thank you so much
Same. I know nothing of these movies. I just love her take on pretty much everything. But now after watching this I want to go watch this train wreck so I can feel like a part of the community. 😂😂😂
As much as I hate my office job I am beyond grateful it's not like Tessa's internship. Me and like 10 old ladies and 1 tired gay man and the only drama is WHO IS EATING CHIPS IN HIS SILENT OFFICE MAKE IT STOP.
Only ten minutes into the video and this After already sounds like it was written by someone who thought or dreamt they took a beginner’s creative writing class (one that only covered the bare bones of characters and story) and are like: NAILED IT!!!
this is the vibe
@@parxfilms2548 I’d better watch the rest of the video, then!
Carley i appreciate you for telling us what show/movie every single actor is from to save us time from looking them up ourselves 😍🙌
i need to know or i cant relax
I still will never get over the fact that everyone thought Hardin’s actor was faking his accent when he’s ACTUALLY English 💀💀 how do make your own accent sound unnatural
carley is gonna girlboss too close to the sun one day
so true
briefly read this title as 'i watched *every movie*' and my first thought was to admire your dedication rather than question how that would even be possible. just so u know the sort of feats my brain assumes you're capable of :)
my next video will be watching every movie ever made lol
@@uncarley notifications are ON
the best part of this is that any part of the movies can be summarized with the words "who cares!" and i wholeheartedly agree, thank your for this carley, you're a real trooper
For the girlies who need this!
Hardin=harry
Landon=Liam
Zed=Zayn
Nate= Niall
Logan= Louis
Forever grateful I only read the gay one direction fanfics and never voluntarily subjected myself to this. You are doing a great service for letting me experience this without lifelong trauma
Amen 🙏 would reread room 317 or escapade over after any day of the week
Freaking Trevor is my favorite line from the series ❤
so good
Ma’am your sense of humor is literally perfect thank you for suffering for our enjoyment 🙏
thank you!!
Please take a week of self care, you deserve it, queen 👑
i need to
carly will be in my thoughts and prayers today for going through this all by herself. i can only imagine the amount of sheer tolerance and grit it must've taken for her in this expedition. truly an icon through and through.
Okay but no feeling will compare to binge reading this on wattpad on my Christmas vacation in my senior year of high school when I was obsessed with Harry Styles
i feel you
i work in publishing and i don't even get paid a living wage. the most unrealistic part of this trilogy is the boundless generosity of the publishing industry towards a junior employee
"AND HE'S BRITISH" REALLY BROKE ME DOWN laughing and crying
carleyyy, i can’t stop looking at your bookcase/fireplace situation, so please do a tour for us
GIRL this drama in these movies… Skam’s 4 seasons would water your soul
Damn not Carly losing braincells for a video. Hats off for you babygworl
thank you bestie
This video led me to watch all 4 movies and I sadly will be in theaters seeing the 5th one because I'm too invested in the drama. It feels like Stockholm syndrome and I'm officially trapped in the lore of everything and I can't escape even though it is so awful.
This movie would be great as a thriller
yesss
Carley we as fans sincerely thank u for ur sacrifice 🙏🏾 ur humour and wit is always greatly appreciated 😭😭😭
thank you for watching bestie!! i hope you're doing well
The worst crime of the After series is that it inspired my mother to write a novel-length age-gap self-insert Wattpad fanfic of her own about Luke Hemmings
I'm sorry WHAT?! 😭😭😭
Never seen any of these movies or had the slightest inclination to but dagnabit if this video wasn’t absolutely amazing. Love you for what you do for us. The lords work, truly.
you truly went through the trenches for this one
i have trench foot bestie
Who’s gonna tell her there’s a 5th movie? 👀
please no
I needed this! Also I bet an unhinged recap of the kissing booth movies would also be traumatic and hilarious
seconded
youre so correct the kissing booth will need to happen
reading this when i was like 13 on wattpad now watching it now as an adult is wild
Just wanted to say thank you sm for covering these I never actually sat down and watched them so thanks queen!!!
anytime bestie
Anyway thanks for summarising this and giving me something to listen while I get my nails done
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I HAVE TO CLEAN MY DEPRESSION ROOM TODAY AND THIS WILL DEFINITELY HELP ME GET THROUGH SOME OF THE WORST OF IT AHHHH
yess youve got this bestie!!
bff i have read them all. at 15 no less, nothing is gonna make me relive the trauma by watching them
praying 4 u
**sheds single tear** I have been waiting for this moment. Thank you for all you do, queen ❤️
!!! hell yes!
thank you carley for magically posting a video whenever i need something to watch!
thank you for watching!!
Landon is literally meant to be Liam Payne which KILLS me bc it’s Mr “you better remove those hands” Liam Payne.
NOOOO
My friend and I decided to get drunk and binge watch the entire series for the laughs, and only after we were both blind drunk did these movies make sense. Harden trying to burn his mother's house down could only be understood after you've had 16 fireball shots. Highly recommend
The popularity of the After movies and After books makes me really really question people's reasoning in romanticizing and liking toxic relationships o.O
its dark
thank you for your service carley, i'll pray for your mental health 🙏
please do
i would pay to watch you watch these films in real time and see your authentic unhinged reactions
your commentary videos are like if the essence of Glee was a youtube channel. absolutely unhinged in the most entertaining way possible. A real "just like me fr" in the most "I need therapy" of ways. Truly inspirational.
omg this is the highest compliment
@@uncarley it was meant as one, doing God's work, braver than the troops.
They ruined ‘ whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same ‘ for me😢!!!
TRULY RUINED
Also it's funny that they say that in a romantic kind of way when wuthering heights is anything but a romance and comparing your relationship to Catherine and Heathcliff is outing yourself as in an unhealthy abusive relationship pfuhejrfe
@@LS-vq2or their relationship was soooo toxic, the whole time Hardin and Tessa keep doing senseless things yet getting back together nd breaking up over nd over , cause the 12 yr old child who wrote it on watt pad probably couldn’t come up with anything else
love that i somehow know the 1D guys names well enough to be able to tell which is which from their laughably similar names
it's like. Harden is Harry obviously. Zedd is Zayne. Noah is Niall. Landon is Liam. Same number of syllables, same starting letter - when you get a name like Zedd it's like. this is fanfiction.
I guess Lance or Vance or whatever is Louis . hmm which is which
