I did not mean to offend anyone from Bulgaria, I don't often pay attention to where movies are filmed and it seemed like an odd choice for this franchise. Seems like it's a great place to shoot films!
Bulgaria is definitely not a country one hears much about in general, tho
Bulgaria seems like a gorgeous country, but it DID seem like a bizarre location to shoot this movie. At least the actors and crew gained a holiday out of it, though!
@@trinaq
It also has a real interesting medieval history, for example there were multiple Bulgarian Empires
@@warlordofbritannia That sounds fascinating, I'm a fan of historical countries, so thanks for enlightening me! 😍😘
I'm used to most-or a lot of- things being filmed in Georgia, New York, LA, London or New Zealand. Nice to mix it up!
not to gatekeep but I am in fact BRI-ish and can confirm Hardin does not sound like a real Brit
A Tara mooknee comment without thousands of likes? Bro what
Please gatekeep all you want
I only know for sure he is British because Ralph Fiennes who played voldermort in harry Potter is his uncle. But he makes me cringe when he talks because he sounds so fake.
He really doesn't
@@aishas2497 let's not forget, he also played a young Voldemort in one of the movies
The most unbelievable thing about these movies is that anyone who implies that Hardin and Tessa are an utterly toxic couple who shouldn't be together are immediately villainised... Except they're 100% right! 🤦🏽♀️
it makes me think of the second movie where Molly was like, "is it true you're a moron for going back to the dude who banged you for a bet?" And then Tessa snaps but it's like, why are you booing her? She's right. Team Molly.
Sadly that is realistic. People do tend to believe that the people telling them that their relationship (or what ever else makes them happy) is toxic are the bad guys. They dont want to change so they turn anyone who tells them to into a villain.
bUt sHe CaN sAvE hIM!!1!!
This whole bookish girl + abusive "alpha" asshole trope is pathetic.
@@zombieedrea Molly spoke the truth! Tessa slutshaming Molly as well is another reason I dislike her.
@@mellyq92 Sadly I think it's psychologically a lot more complicated than not wanting to change. A mutually toxic relationship can still damage someone's self-esteem, traumatize them, and even leave them with complex PTSD. Eg. stuff that makes change mentally MUCH more difficult. I know abuse survivors [including myself] who went through severe anxiety and depression trying to separate from their former abusers. Stuff ranging from complex PTSD symptoms and outright anxiety attacks, down to little crap like a lingering inability to get the same unhealthy neurochemical high from a partner who DOESN'T routinely mistreat you. I don't know how much those trauma symptoms change just because both partners are being foolish.
It isn't a friend's job to dig a friend out of that rut. That's a job for a professional and they maintain professional boundaries for reasons; it would be an impossible emotional labor, even for a trained professional, to talk a personal friend out of a mindset that deeply troubled.
"This book is 848 pages"
Me yelling out loud: WHAT
48 pages more than the longest Harry Potter book😀 (in my edition at least)
Hopefully it's just the font size 🥲
Yeah I spit my coffee out at that one… that’s a short Diana Gabaldon novel!
Because of Wattpad. 😂
Yes. And it’s mostly fighting and fucking. Sometimes drama for the plot. All together it’s 2.000 pages of shit.
Ok pro tip, this is not a joke: If you are in a relationship, and you need to tell your significant other something, or you find something out, and literally the first thought that pops into your head is "man how do I say this so she/he doesn't get mad at me" you need to reconsider your relationship. This is like abusive relationships 101, you should not be afraid of your partners reactions at all times that's not healthy.
I totally agree on the "not get mad at me" part because if you have to actively worry about your partner being mad at you then there is a problem with the relationship, but not so much with the "not freak out" though. Like, you can be in a healthy relationship and not know how your partner will handle some upsetting news or how to tell them in the way that will make it easiest for them to process. You just specifically shouldn't be scared that their reaction will negatively affect you (appart from genuine empathy and you feeling like shit because you see them feeling like shit).
@@night0wl684 yeah maybe I didn't word that super well.
@@night0wl684 I completely agree with you. I thought the same after reading the original comment. Taking the other person's feeling into consideration when thinking about how you're going to tell them something doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is bad. But if you fear for your own psychological/physical safety from having to tell bad news, then yea, the relationship is toxic.
Dear Nate, your comment made me remember when I went out with a male friend and ended up in a girl's birthday party at a bar (I didnt know that was the plan and the girl was taken btw). I couldnt enjoy it because I knew my (now) ex would get mad as soon as I tell her LOL

The idea that Seattle is more "flashy" than London is genuinely hilarious and could only be conceived by an American who has never travelled outside the US
It reminds me of a play my college did that described St Louis as a slow town where people just sit on their front porches and complain.
Seattle has more homeless people out in the open, but both are cloudy and full of people drunk-puking into the gutter
@@blaisetelfer8499 lol weather doesn't change how flashy and posh a lot of parts of London. There's a difference between being there for two days and living in the UK and other places long enough to recognize that London is probably the only city like it in the world, and has been for centuries.
I’ve spent ample time in both, and neither are flashy. London is definitely more upper crust though. Anna Todd makes is uncomfortably clear that she’s never even been to Washington State though.
Or never even traveled to Seattle, where everyone wears fleece and flannel.
I honestly think it would be so funny if they just straight up recast Cole Sprouse as Trevor and not mention it at all.
Or have one person notice the recast but feel gaslighted by everyone else saying, "What do you mean? He's always looked like that." Even top it with a cheeky "I feel like a whole new person!" (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)
I feel like hell would freeze over before Cole decided to torture himself with this
How funny would it be if they just recast him as the other twin, Dylan Sprouse? Idk if hes still doing stuff in the film industry, but omg how freaking funny would that be?
@@samthelion3925 Trevor was originally played by Dylan not Cole
@@ahnandinha i was gonna say Riverdale but i feel like thats just something he wants to escape but cant.
The most frustrating part of this film is how cushy Tessa's internship as a freaking freshman in undergrad. Sincerely, a grad student living off ramen and water (ya know, sans all that toxic relationship bullshit)
As a fellow self-funded lit scholar, I am actively pissed at how fictional English majors pretty much just exist to make a few Jane Austen references, fall in love with someone they can compare to Heathcliff or Romeo without actually understanding what that means, and then end up getting handed some fucking publishing company to run.
Did you know you can stir an egg into the ramen for extra protein and an egg-drop-soup experience? Sincerely, someone who's been there a lot re "starving student" life, and also didn't hook up with an abuser to "save" him.
Ah yes, my favorite college delicacy, "Ice soup"
@@DS-uh6ss I’m a first year English major and have more years of experience writing full books than some of my classmates have been alive. Anyone offering an internship, then offers to let that very young person move in, would be viewed as predatory. It’s crossing a major boundary in an alarming way.
What did she do to earn that internship?
All she did was cheat on her bf the whole of the first movie/book, right? I hate to say it, but Molly was right to call her out for Getting back with Hardon after he made a bet to take her virginity.
I don't think the author understands the word "internship". In "After We Collided", Tessa immediately gets her own room, her job is to read manuscripts and pick the ones they publish. Yeah, sounds about right...
hardin annoyed me even more throughout this movie, he reminded me a lot of caillou, just whining, bitching, and complaining.
Hey! Caillou had a lot of character growth by the end. Also, he's four. What's Hardin's excuse?🤨😂
Lmao Cailou
Don’t drag Caillou into this mess 😂😂😂
Lmfaooo lmao
let's all start calling whiny emotionally stunted men Caillou from now on, the Karen equivalent
lemme guess, the series will end like all entries of this series; with a marriage and pregnancy.
because clearly marrying and dragging an innocent child into your bullshit will solve ALL your problems.
Two pregnancies, marriage, and Hardin claiming it was all made up to sell books.
Oh u know that kid will be the subject of a very heated custody battle after a nasty, dragged out divorce
I guess it worked for the Cullens and the Greys XD
Worked for Ani and Padme!
they didnt get married in the books xD he proposed her several times and she declined
That guy's tattoos look like a toddler went at him with a Sharpie
Because they’re based off of Harry Styles’ tattoos, which were basically made by toddlers with a tattoo gun (aka his drunk friends) lol
@@aelisedasilva but at least harry's tattoos look real. I can only think of one tattoo that was done by drunk friends according to him.
Straight up gave a sharpie to a little Benjamin and went “have fun, buddy”
Honestly I would like them 1000% more if *that* wasn’t the reason
Hardin is honestly one of the worst ''romantic'' characters I've ever came across (through reviews, obviously). No one with a healthy mindset would date a person like him
Unless you're Tessa honestly, if I could rewrite this I would have Tessa drop Hardin after she learns about the bet & he is waay too angsty. Hardin tries everything under the sun to get her back but Tessa is having none of it.
Very sad reality is that the target audience for shit like this is impressionable, and the bandwagoning teaches them that this is acceptable. When I was the age of this target audience, I was in an abusive relationship, and I wanted out, but stayed in since I believed that, though it sucked, it was normal and not enough reason to leave.
@@catspaw3092 Ironic, is it not, how shit like this and Fifty Shades and Twilight have fantastic set-ups for thrillers where the women escape, but then the writers of them turn around and make those women shitty as well, then try to package and sell it as romance?
He even pushes beyond the typical "toxic bad boy" trope, he's just plainly and simply a nasty man, there isn't anything redeemable about him to make up for his toxic characteristics. I truly just despise him he is so mean.
well, there's always the OG Heathcliff... but even he had SOMETHING resembling an excuse for the way he turns out. This dumpster fire of aspersions cast on Harry Styles's character by this rich-boy wannabe fantasy-character? UUUGH.
I hope Hero FT's career can recover. LITTLE concerned it's not looking too good :-(
After We Fell, we had this awkward moment of gathering our belongings
this made my day
Dont know why this made me laugh so hard
And not even in that adorkable romcom way, just awkard
You are a more talented wordsmith than every writer for After combined
The hero we didn't know we needed
As someone who truly hated One Direction back in the day, I still feel bad for Harry Styles to this day.
She as a fan, did him so dirty. Like damn, was she even a Harry Styles fan.
She did him so dirty that he has blocked her on all social media. She went after him hard trying to get him to agree to meet her.
One of the many reasons I don't agree with "real people" fanfictions. It's fine to adapt fictional characters to a storyline you'd like to see them in, but imagine someone putting stories about you all over the Internet putting you in horrible situations, in some cases adjusting your sexuality without your permission and writing about you in a really explicit way. It would make me so uncomfortable. But any time I've mentioned that before fanfic people have really come for me.
@@caseyh8386 I won't come for you buddy. I think it's a revolting thing to do. I'll stand by you :-)
@@caseyh8386 especially now, since they turning the books in movies, it must be so weird and uncomfortable for Harry.
I mean, everyone nows, harden is meant to be him but in a more asshole and sexist way and a lot of people profeting from the books and the movies and the way they present Harden (aka Harry) as a charakter.
Its not anymore a fanfic on the internet, only fans taking about. I think it's not easy for him to awoid the after book or movies.
I'm not a fan of one direction, I never was, but I kinda like Harry. He seems really nice and respectful towards all genders and sexualitys and the way the author decided to present Harry in her books doesn't serve him very well.
Because of that, I don't like fanfics about real people as well.
I can't hurt a fictional Charakter by presenting them in a not kind way in my fanfiction or don't do a good enough job with writing them but I can hurt (or at least make them really uncomfortable) real people by putting them in my story's.
real people fanfiction is just yucky
The nicest thing I can think of to say about Hardin is, well... at least he's not Massimo. LOL
What a compliment
Idk, at least we got an exciting criminal kidnapping & murder drama out of him, while Hardin is just the boring version of toxic.
@@sleepysera I suppose that is true.
Hardin actually scares me more. Massimo is shit, but at least he’s consistent enough in his awful morals that you can trust him to mean what he says.
This has killed me😂🤣
How the hell did two Vampire Diaries actresses, Caroline and Lexi, and Bill from True Blood get sucked into this movie series?! How odd. Theyre all too good for these movies.
Indeed, I presume that it was because they needed the money, which is usually the ONLY acceptable excuse for appearing in dreck like this!
perhaps the salary was really good? as is often the case in such situations; the actors probably couldn't tell from the script how bad of a movie it was.
Everyone is too good for this movie

Oh hey OT. Just finished watching your latest video. Good job as always 🤗🦊
the mishandling of s3xual assault in this series is honestly appalling
I can only agree. I read the books and when it came to the scene with Steph I was disgusted and angry! The topics of sexual assault are never handled with the certain respect they need. It’s always how their sexual assault causes the MAN in their life to suffer! It’s never about the victims!
Also: the fact that Tessa was drugged and sexual assaulted is a less traumatic expierence for Hardin than Tessa mumbling Zed name in her sleep! I despise the author for all of this so much!
@@revi6482 they removed this scene instead of putting it in the movie and handle this subject 😐why? Because they didn’t want people to be upset and think she’s promoting r1pe
@@someone-pi3np probably they realized that maybe putting a graphic scene where someone nearly gets raped, won’t be to good for business. It’s a movie for teens. Reading about it and seeing it is something different I guess. Also while looking at the situation with Hardin and Tessa dad alcoholism I don’t trust them to treat this topic with the certain respect it should have.
Ikr? I really hate how they gloss it over, or make it seem like a "haha good times" moment when thinking back on it to how much they have "grown" 🤦🏿♀️ Like a "if it wasn't for this moment, I wouldn't have met you" which....just no.
i know right?? I've seen rape handled wonderfully in media before where it isnt fetishized or disrespectful, it is shown as the true horror that it is. but in this stupid fucking series they do it so awfully and I HATE It as a survivor of rape myself.
There better be a final installment called “Now What?”

A lot of films are shot in Eastern Europe. Dune was shot in Hungary; the new season of Jack Ryan and a bunch of action films like Mechanic and the Fallen series (w/ Gerard Butler) were shot in Bulgaria. It offers a 25% cash rebate for international productions.
There's also not many places besides Eastern Europe with the same variety of environments within a single small country's borders. Bulgaria, for example, has open plains, dense forests, frozen mountains, and dark swamps. You can film so many different types of movies just using the natural landscape. You also have a very strong mix of new and old architecture, making for great material for historical films, assuming Hollywood even knows what that is anymore. Within a single country, you can get those grand, sweeping shots like Lord of The Rings, as well as dense city scenes without needing a passport
Czech Republic is quite popular for filming because it has a lot of old castles and forests and is also quite cheap.
Also, Eastern European cinema has some amazing films.

As a brit I always think a British actors accent always sounds false when in an American film. I don't know why they always sound forced
True, maybe it's in comparison to the American accents, which makes the British one stand out all the more.
I also think he's using a bit of a put-on accent. I am not British so I likely wouldn't pick it up, but I believe I read that somewhere he is not using his regular pattern of speech.
He does sound British but like, a British person who’s lived in America for too long and now their accent has changed slightly
The same thing happens to me when I hear people talking in spanish in Hollywood movies, like they're suppoused to be latinos but they sound like americans attempting to speak spanish for the first time in their lives, and most times the actors were born in a country from latin america, so spanish is their mother tongue but somehow their spanish sounds so bad I can barely understand what they are saying 🤷♀️😂

Ah, the third installment of a toxic story following a toxic couple. Perfect. How long will this story go for? 🙄 Endless praise for you, Amanda. You really tortured yourself for us. 💞
Until a baby is farted out
I'm gonna preface this with yes, I'm undoubtedly somewhat older than Amanda's audience. But anyway--I read a lot of those 70s-90s bodice rippers when I was in my early twenties, and later on, I remember there was a fair amount of pearl-clutching about the behaviour of those leading men. It's been nearly 20 years (oh no) and I do not remember them behaving NEARLY as badly as the guys in these super popular modern romances...
I've read some old school bodice-rippers, and those men are downright wholesome compared to this.
Brit here, his accent is so jarring I was 100% convinced it was an American doing a terrible accent. Pretty sure he was told to make his accent 'more british' and its come out like some weird mess. If you listen to him in interviews it's super clear that he's from South London I have no idea what they told him to do for these films
I'm starting to get the impression that these movies are this rushed because the filmmakers just want to get through with the bullshit that is the After series.
@@justheretocommentokdontwan685 not when you want that paycheck.

I don't care for the story... I just enjoy Amanda's reaction to all this shit...
Yeah, this channel has been keeping me up to date on the shittiness of young adult adaptations of the past 5 years
The fact that there are people that glorify this toxic relationship is extremely concerning….
I’ve been indulging in horror this weekend. First listening to some mlp creepypastas(what can I say, I was nostalgic. Also, there’s some good ones. For example; an Apple sleep experiment). Then I got over 13 year old me’s fears and watch IT chapter 2. Now it’s time for a real horror with toxic relationships

" Why movies are made in Bulgaria?" Not a movie, but The Witcher is partly made there.
oh not why, I can see why they'd be filmed there, I just never really stopped to look into what movies would be, seems like a lot
@@AmandaTheJedi There is a lot of movies filmed here, including The Expendables, mostly because cheap labor, low taxes and costs in general. So thats why, we bulgarians still love you tho. :P
@@AmandaTheJedi Well, I can say this movie gives me hope. Hope, that i can find Good writers around the world and produce different languages films with Good intent and passion. I really wanted to start by finding good writers and approach them to make their screenplays into movies with me so that audience and critics can see them and appreciate them. My first and foremost idea with getting funds for making the movies actually came from Coen brothers. They made their first movie by creating a two and half minute video pitch and showed it to people home to home, so that they can earn the funds for the movie. I had a different spin on it. I wanted to release three minute pitches on youtube for short films to earn money for the budget and trust from the audience. Then, the screenplay will be criticised by a certain group of individuals without any bias and with honesty to figure out problems in it. After it's done, the filming would begin for the short film. After it's been made, then it will be shown in theatres for a maximum of 5 days in some selected theatres to audiences, and later would be released to youtube freely.
There are many writers around the world who want their stories to be seen, original or may be different, but if done right, it can help approach new foundation to cinemas. I want to go from making short films slowly to making feature films. It's a part of growing up.
The Last duel was released in theatres a few weeks ago. I was excited not because it has great stars in it, but because it was the return of a great filmmaker to his form, Ridley Scott. I heard it got great positive reviews and was something new amidst this franchise bonanza. Then, i was horrified to learn it failed in box office. It didn't make enough money to break through. The marketing and controversy that it is a misogynistic hollywood agenda failed it hard. It was not that at all. It's a great movie. But it became a box office bomb. This just gives opportunity to big studios for churning out more remakes, sequels and reboots instead of different and something original, even adaptations. And it makes me scared for that part alone. I really want to support new filmmakers with creative vision and ideas to make movies that they want to and i have always loved films with heart. But this........this is just sad.

Despite wanting to write (and getting a degree in it!) I'm acutely aware that my original stories are mired in my FF background. The only original story I have that I started (and isn't half bad) was inspired by the "quest to do a thing" after reading the hobbit. So you *bet* that I'm very very very careful to use a word count checker and re-write whole passages if they seem too "fanfic-y," no one wants "she smirked" 102 times in a novel (as a hypothetical example, I'm not *that* bad.)
My first book was inspired by a fanfic I wrote. I got a deal with a publisher for it. Go for it. Fanfiction is a great starting point. I probably wouldn't be a writer if I hadn't discovered characters I was passionate enough to write fanfics about. Everyone has to start somewhere, and tons of tropes popular in fanfics are included in successful books.
@@georgiajohnson4983 oh I know! :3 My sci-fi story is based more around a Technological/Sociological end point that is the opposite of proper Transhumanism.
And the dark Fantasy I want to write that I've been working on and off again for years isn't really inspired by anything because of the world building I did over the last decade.
*However* I know that a lot of fanfic styles of world building passive writing (I also try to avoid the passive voice and the purple prose so common in romance novels *and* fic, but sometimes you just have to set the scene without action stringing you along) can get lost in its own… thing. Like I have a fic I've written mostly for myself that has a plot, but also has "plot," and because of the nature of me wanting to actually see what happens, I'm still coming back to it. And it too is also very different from the source material but I feel like filing off its serial numbers if/when I finish it, is disingenuous because I'm quite happy to leave that one fic alone and leave it attached to the source material-at least in my head.
Another one I've put on mental hiatus (I've never published these anywhere) is one that is so far removed from the source material that it very easily could function, on its own, as a good "coming into adulthood" story (you know, college life, figuring out who you are, who you're attracted to, why, what it's like to have friends who are now back in school after enlisting in the military and the PTSD from being injured, etc.) but I don't have a proper plot because I suuuuck at Modern stories about just people being people. That and I'm trying to avoid the regular Modern and/or Modern Romance (romance is a focus of the story but not the only focus so it's not really a "romance novel/fic") tropes that happen for plot points because the whole point is that "yeah, we might be 21 or 25 but that doesn't mean we know what we're doing just because we're in Uni or because we're over the age of 18."
But yes! You're right! A lot of tropes and styles are in perfectly acceptable novels, just the wheel spinning or focusing on one scene for far too long, for /the drama/ that FanFic tends to have is something I try to avoid.
I read FF as Final Fantasy instead of Fan Fiction but I'm sure your stories are fantastic!
Honestly, I actually think fanfiction is a great way to practice, experiment and learn with your writing. It's actually a good way to hone your skills- find out what works and what doesn't and get feedback without the expectation of it being perfect or the fear of serious judgement. It's great!
It's just that, due to this, fanfics often aren't as polished as other books and so sometimes don't translate as well when publishers pick them up, tarring the whole genre in an unfortunate brush that it really doesn't deserve.
@@izzisart oh I totally agree! I think that if someone (author or editor) took a fic they had "scrubbed the serial numbers off of" that was a drastically different AU and dramatically made it their own thing (essentially my original story/world that has the basic plot of LotR with "stop the evil king and fix the world", and/or characters that started out as fic OCs but got brought into my original world that I compiled as a historian-yes I *am* that kind of nerd xD) the way (as problematic as it was with some of the romance) The Mortal Instruments series is then there's a lot less issue in terms of filing off those serial numbers.
Just if the editor or author doesn't want to change much, and also doesn't have the understanding that some writing tropes within fanfic don't translate well and sometimes you do need a thesaurus for the myriad of ways someone can smile (listen writing Hazbin Hotel fic with Alastor has been an exercise in my understanding exactly how many ways you can describe/using words for "grinning").
Also as a writer, I don't publish (mostly because of incessant writer's block eventually hampering down my plot/ability to not wander in circles) my fic anywhere. I think I have two song fics on a long dead FF dot net account. And this is less out of fear of judgment (I really don't care if someone hates my AU/interpretation of a character) and more out of fear of being found out as a fanfic author in general. Even if the fics I do have (such as the aforementioned Hazbin Hotel story) would never even be *able* to have their serial numbers filed off. And some I wouldn't want to even if they're such an AU that it doesn't matter because it is it's own story.
The originating source is only important in this one fic's case because it cuts out some character background stuff (it's FMA based) but is a full on AU that changes some landscape and physical geography but I'm happy to leave it as its roots because I don't want anymore out of it. And I learned a lot writing the 1/2 that I did. (Again, meandering circles of knowing where I wanted to go, and how I wanted to go, but because I didn't know my actual endpoint I couldn't get to the cool stuff-a civil war-that was supposed to come after the character drama of the first half. It's something I'll eventually finish once I actually figure out plot past a short story, ^^; but again, I don't this particular fic's serial numbers filed off nor do I want to be someone who wrote it, and then had to take it down because I'm a "serious author" that always bugged me especially when it was unrelated work.)
Went to see this movie thinking it was the last one, seeing the "To be continued" at the end made me scream in terror.
oh nooo, why would you pay? :(
God. How does all this happen to Tessa in One semester year. I blink and its almost 2022 and I'm still on UA-cam
“we need to talk to each other” *cut to Hardin refusing to talk even after asking something which would lead them to talk*
On the 'TREVOR' meme, I can't help but thing of Neville's toad, lol.
Can we take a moment to talk about how there ARE people following this franchise or that back in the day followed the fanfiction and see nothing wrong with our protagonists' relationship to the point they want/wanted that? Like seriously at least ONE person in the team doing this shit has paused for a moment to think _wow I'm helping this toxic message that this is what the ideal relationship looks like reach thousands of teenagers! This fucking sucks_ right????
Same with Twilight and Fifty Shades. The number of posts I saw pining to have "A Christian of my own" I saw back when it was at its height I kept thinking to myself "No. You really don't want that."
@@Resilient_Sage88 I still remember when girls asked me if I was Team Jacob or Team Edward and frankly I didn't give a damn I only chose Jacob cause I thought werewolves were cooler than vampires.
Then I watch the movie and I see all the shit Edward does and I'm here like _this? This is what my classmates want? He's a creep!_
The ones who didn't got out of that phase just evolved into Christian fangirls. No you don't want this man,you don't girl.
@@donnamitsuki281 Yeah I feel like Jacob is his own level of creep but preferring Werewolves over Vamps is cool. I always preferred Vamps myself because of Anne Rice lol
@@Resilient_Sage88 I still can't believe the author just looked at Jacob and said "yeah I'll make you fall in love with a baby. Legit not even born baby. And then you'll wait for her to grow up. Totally normal" like Stephanie what the actual fuck........
@@donnamitsuki281 Right?! I mean I know they like 'em to marry young in Mormonism (adds to their ranks) but she didn't stop for like ten seconds and go "How would this come off to others?"
It comes off as a word a lot of Creators avoid saying on UA-cam because of monetization but it starts with a g and ends with 'rooming'
The movie is so bad. I found myself literally laughing any time Hardin was shown trying to be tough. The hairstylist on the film also needed to be fired. Glad they skipped the assault scene from the book though.
The nightmare he had about Tessa and the waiter had me dying 🤣🤣 "no no no!"
@@queenicedcoffee4217 Yes! The moment he picked up the bat too. I laughed unreasonably hard.
Me at beginning of video: "Idk what it is, but Amanda is looking exceptionally good in that shirt"
Amanda: explains she's cosplaying K Stew
Me: "oh that's why"
It's the fact that the guy who plays Hardin is RALPH FIENNES' NEPHEW. He was legit in Harry Potter as young Tom Riddle bc his UNCLE IS VOLDEMORT.
"The woodplank salmon sounds amazing, Robert, I'd love it." Idk why that sent me. XD
848 pages?!
Let's make a minute of silence for all the trees that have been felled to print that book. And for all virtual trees also, because e-books exist.
I could watch Hardin yelling: "f***g Trevor" on the loop! 😂😂😂 This whole series is hilarious but oh, so bad!
Genuine question: does Tessa even have friends? Like in the books?
I know the one dude is her friend in the movies but thats it?
yes Landon is literally her only friend - she tries to be friends with Zed, but he's trying to get with her, and Trevor is also a romantic interest
focking ***TREVOR***
Sorry, that Tessa girl has patience. I have no tolerance for what Hayden or whatever name is throwing down.
The making her jealous, getting jealous and storming off crap. What it comes down to is time at the end of the day.
The amount of time it will take me to get tired and lose all interest in him. Once that interest is gone, I'm out.
I’m deeply concerned for Tessa and Hardin’s potential future children, kid’s gonna say they don’t want cheerios for breakfast and Hardin’s gonna throw a lamp at the wall
As a Bulgarian, I'm slightly offended by your comment 😂
Plenty of movies are filmed in our little corner of the world, because yes, it is way cheaper - the Expandables, Hellboy (the new one) etc.
Me too, why did she think she could make a comment like that, like wtf bruh!?
I'm very late on this one but I agree!? It felt like she was treating our little beautiful (although flawed) country like it was some gruesome place people are being shipped to and forced to film/simply be at. Like, c'mon, that's rude. It's not hell on earth. Jeez.
I know she apologized but nope, still rubbed me the wrong way.
My paperback edition of Dune is 800 pages, not counting the appendices.
After is one of the best horror books of all time
And yes, I'm kidding. It really is a horror show though.
Also, love you Amanda, you're doing God's work :D
It would be amazing with a thriller/horror style where the parents are so scared of their abusive son that they find him girls to date so he can forgive about them. That’s why every time Hardin and Tessa fight the parents insist that she is perfect for him and she heals him, she actually doesn’t, they just sugar coated so Tessa keeps dating Hardin and they can scape from him
@@dantefarge3369 On top of all that, Tessa still struggles with escaping her incredibly toxic relationship with Hardin, who like in the trailer of After We Fell, keeps hurting her. However despite her attempts, she finds herself being pulled back to him because they're addicted to each other. More specifically, Tessa is addicted to the pleasure (and Hardin being nice to her), while Hardin is addicted to the pain. After receiving some help from Landon, she opens her eyes to the hell that is her so called relationship and runs far away from Hardin, breaking contact. She's over his angsty excuses for giving her grief and is focused on living her best, happiest life without him. She moves to Seattle and meets up with Trevor, where they become friends. Slowly, Tessa and Trevor grow closer and acknowledge their mutual feelings for each other. Tessa realizes Trevor was right all along about Hardin, and she works on healing herself from the toxicity and the abuse Hardin's given her with Trevor and Landon by her side. Sometime in the future after she's fully healed, she and Trevor become a couple, they get engaged and live happily ever after, with Landon being Trevor's best man. Landon finds his own happiness. And Hardin gets sent to jail, serving a life sentance while receiving boatloads of psychotherapy, getting him the help he needs while holding him responsible for the harm he inflicted on so many.
The end!
Also Molly and Tessa apologize for how they treated each other in the past and become friends.
Molly is also a great friend to Tessa because she gives her plenty of reality checks, which helps Tessa see the truth of her toxic, abusive relationship with Hardin. :D
The fact that Harry Styles blocked the author on social media makes me feel good.😂
I was in the erotica section of my local book store, earlier this year, and I spotted the After series sitting there. At first, I was just like 'huh, that's that series with those Netflix movies', but then I saw the size of the books~ I, outloud, said "What the actual fuck?!"
5:20 After The Series sounds like an absolute nightmare Amanda! Imagine....8 seasons of this shit on the CW😭
Would lowkey love to see this start totally normally like riverdale and then by season 5 they’re vampires in some sort of Eyes Wide Shut kind of thing
@@anac5656 Oh god. Some where out there a writer is taking notes...
yes. so excited. the first book was awful so i’m glad you decided to sacrifice yourself for a good cause by reading the other two, and possibly three books.
i have to give congrats to Josephine Langford because i didnt knew she was an aussie until i checked her wikipedia page??????????? she trully made a run to hide her accent
and then there’s hardin
THEY RELEASED THE MOVIE? 😭
Kill me now
Yep, on October 22nd. I would have happily forgotten all about it, if it hadn't been for Alex Meyers.
@@trinaq same here and the only reason i remember was also because of Alex lol.
How come these companies don't get fanfiction from Archive of Our Own? I just read a good Stargate Atlantis fic called 'Red Sands.' I loved it. They need to make a movie out of that (also, I'll pay anything for Jason Momoa!).
I'm just saying, if you can't make your own story, at least buy a story that's good!
I love watching Amanda the Jedi and Dylan is introuble watching/reviewing the same film because both are hilarious in different ways
Same
I'm sad you missed out on
"after we fell... Is boring like hell"
as a title of the video 🤔
After we fell...on our rotten tomatoes score
I will never watch this series but I will always watch yours
Honestly, more movies should be shot in Bulgaria. It is beautiful country.
I mean we knew Candace King wouldnt come back when she said she was pregnant and we knew for a fact when she gave birth she wouldnt put her baby at risk, also we still waiting her on legacies which may never happen as well
That clip of him saying Trevor is the least English thing I've ever seen and I still fundamentally refuse to believe he's one of ours 😂
I look at these fanfiction inspired.. pieces, and will sometimes think "I'm glad my own fanfictions aren't this bad," before then asking myself "Wait.. are MY fanfictions actually this bad?"
I didn't watch the first or second, only watched your videos and then me and my friends watched the third in the cinema and you could see the couples that made out the whole time, the friends that are really into this and then me a lesbian and my friends that were just there to laugh about it and talk how horrible it is, this one kinda sad scene I laughed so hard while the others even started to tear up I can't understand anyone likes it
“Be unhealthy, be insane, but don't be boring” is my new motto
Three movies in... And still no d*ck jokes... His name's *HARDIN* !! Come on man!!!
I told my friend while watching that Hardin is not that hard after all or at least for a long time
I had no clue Hardin was suppose to be Harry Styles lol I was never a fan of One Direction or Harry Styles in general, but I've seen interviews with Harry, like the ones on James Cordon's talk show, and he seems like a pretty good person. And then Hardin is a complete jerk. I feel like whoever wrote this realllllly mischaracterized him if that's what they were going for. 🤣🤣
I can't really digest the fact that the writer wrote Hardin's character keeping HARRY in mind...I can't...I can'tttt ...Harry is the kindest celebrity I have ever ever ever seen...Love him so much .... I can't wrap my head around that... seriously...
Tracer from Overwatch also suffers from _British character with_ *_super fake sounding British accent_* _is actually played by_ *_an actual British person!_* And I'm always left like _"W-What happened here? How?"_
"Fan Fiction Filmed in Bulgaria" has serious Moira Rose / The Crows Vibes. They really missed an opportunity.
I feel bad for Harry Styles. Not a fan of him but having a book based on a fan and you. A whole new level of deranged.
Also, given the real world Brian Laundrie mess, there should be a frickin warning label on this thing.
you know the fact that it was filmed in my home country makes this whole thing feel way more up and personal that it should
now every time i see one of these locations walking to school or trying to hang out with my friends i will die inside a bit
As a person raised in Seattle and have been living here for two decades…… no it’s not flashy 😂
@@taylahstrauss4134 honestly, it's a nice place! I genuinely enjoy living here. I know many people don't but that's life I guess. I like the rain, I think it's comforting so it doesn't bother me. It DOES rain as much as people say. That stereotype is 100% true. it starts being grey and rainy just around November right after fall. It stays that way for most of winter, with February being the worst month imo. Fall here is STUNNING. The colors are everything and we do have a very nice seasonal life (meaning we do have all four seasons and see those changes). Summers here are AMAZING. It's so nice, not too overwhelmingly hot (other than those freak heat waves which we've been seeing increase because climate change ugh). It'll rain a bunch well into April with May finally seeing more sun than we had most of winter/spring. We have beautiful nature and scenery but also a great city-life. Literally just 30 minutes to an hour outside of Seattle gets you great hiking trails, beauuutiful lakes, and waterfalls to visit. In the city, we have more than just the space needle. We have local artisan stores, coffee shops more than the eye can see (yes, more than Starbucks). Seriously, LOTS of coffee shops. You will find a Starbucks on every other corner and local shops to make up for the Starbucks/Woods Coffee that ISN'T on a corner near you. People here are described to have the "Seattle chill" reputation meaning people think we're very cold and keep to ourselves but it reminds me a lot of a New York vibe? I don't know how to explain. It's just a place where people are chill, kind, and honest. There's definitely bad parts that's true, but what big city doesn't have its problems? Lots of homelessness unfortunately and there can be some violence. Like we'll have our own "don't go there" cities/areas BUT I feel like any big city will have that. So just be smart and take care of yourself if you're alone or feel unsafe. Other than that, the city is bright, fun, and there's lots to do. HUGE foodie scene with lots of amazing Asian places because of the influence from immigrants. Growing population of oher minorities which is nice because I'm latina so it's great to see more representation. There's fun bars that aren't too "cluby" or "dancey" where it's more of a chill vibe. If you find a dancey club you like, it's most likely downtown near capitol hill (trendy neighborhood) but I find that most of my friends just enjoy dressing up for quieter bars. I guess it's preference! LOTS of traffic, LOTS of noise, and construction all the time, and LOTS of tourists in the popular areas of the city. Overall it's a great hub for connections, jobs, and tech. Sports scene is big too and the Seahawks influence is everywhere so you'll see "12" all over the place. I'm not a hawks fan so it's just funny to me. People legit will decorate "12" in Christmas lights here. I hope this helps? 😆 😅 Also, there's definitely publishing houses there! If not in Seattle, then the outside of the city for sure in fancy/richer cities like Bellevue and Redmond. And those aren't too far from Seattle so it's possible to find work in publishing outside of Seattle but still live in Seattle and just commute if that's your jam. So I wouldnt' say Seattle is flashy because it's not comparable to LA or something. Even New York has flashier moments imo Seattle to me is rainy, grunge, chill, etc etc. I've lived here for so so long but I still feel like I learn more about the city everyday😅 my best friend just moved a neighborhood in downtown Seattle and her husband is new to the state so it's been fun to see his perceptions of the city too.
Fun fact, there are actually a LOT of movies filmed in Bulgaria, including some of the most popular action franchises of the past decade (Hitman's Bodyguard, Hellboy, some of the Expendables and Olympus has Fallen series), because of the sprawling Nu Boyana complex established outside Sofia. They also have a big backlot, so it's usually made to look like other places, but yeah...a surprising amount of filming goes on in Bulgaria and other eastern European countries like Romania as well thanks to inexpensive labor costs.
I work in entertainment and have visited the complex, it's quite impressive. Also, love your channel! And totally understandable why Bulgaria seems a weird choice to most moviegoing audiences.
The most unrealistic part of this movie remains how Tessa manages to get this giant job offer after (barely) working as an intern at a PUBLISHING COMPANY (an industry kind of struggling right now) which includes her relocation to another city, and LIVING WITH HER BOSS (?) and it somehow isn't part of a creepy sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen. Millennials and Gen Z just laugh crying at the ease of the job market for all the characters in movies like this.
Aren't you guys excited for the next movies in the franchise? such as After we ate ice cream, After we tripped, After we did our taxes, After we had midlife crisis, After we watched another movie, after our son graduated, after we retired, after we died, after the after life. Can't wait see what happens in those movies.
Omg, I'm dying at all the cuts to "fcking Trevor" 😂😭
I've watched all your videos on these because I write fanfiction and this truly is my version of a horror story. But I think, if I HAD to choose, I'd rather watch a Hallmark or Up Christmas movie.
This whole series is just someone who watched Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray and thought "How can I make this 1000 times worse and combine it with my insane obsession with Harry Styles?"
Ok I know... pretty much about borderline personality disorder (not a doctor, just a patient, lol) and Hardin shows a few symptoms, I didn't read the books or watched the films so say something if I'm wrong.
-Ha have HUGE problems to contain anger
- He shows some behavior that could be possible being explained with idealization/ devaluetion
- pushing people away and then being scared they leave you it's a common pattern in person with borderline.
- extreme fear of losing someone that can be expressed in a lot of unhealthy way like extreme jelusy.
- people with borderline are more likely to develop addiction like alcoholism
Sometimes people have Borderline+ narcissism traits
I'm not saying that every person with borderline is like Hardin, in fact there's 250 combination of simptoms. Few of my very best friend and gorgeous people have Borderline. I'm just saying that he's showing simptoms of some kind of mental disorder related to a trauma, and love can't cure it, it's great to be loved and helped but you have to change with therapy, those books and films are funny to judge but very dangerous for the message they bring, is not love that change you, if you have been through traumatic stuff and you have an addition you need professional help. If you are in a toxic relationship like Tessa and Hardin, you need to STOP IT.
Im dying from laughter every time you show the scene “fucking TREVOR!!!”
😂😂😂
Fun medical fact I learned is that sperm are VERY temperature sensitive and taking a dip in the hot tub (which is way over their life req's) will murder any sperm currently prepared in the body. So on the plus side, it's very unlikely you could become pregnant from having sex in a hot tub :)
Edit: also I really hope that the doctor didn't just deny her birth control due to the cervix issue. There's no reason that would be denied. Just because the likelihood of getting pregnant is lower it doesn't mean impossible and doctors know that better than anyone. She can still take birth control.
Hey, Amanda, hello from a fan from Bulgaria 🇧🇬! You are my absolute favorite UA-camr & I excitedly wait for your videos each week! (And they never disappoint)
The after books are my guilty pleasure and now that I admitted that I can move on with my life
I remember I had read After on Wattpad and it was soooooo long. By the end of it I was sick to see the other installments were also ridiculously long. I just gave it up then.
Later on I stumbled upon these channels and realised that the disgust I felt while reading that book was more than justified.
So thanks Amanda!
As a Seattleite, we are the sleepiest bunch of coffee drinking hipsters in grey rain. Flashy is the furthest thing from this city.
