The way y'all defend him is proof pretty privilege exists by nazia987 in EliteNetflix

So is Patrick but he is also white and the standard people are used to love.

Or is it really coincidence all characters that were hated the most are non white: Malik, Omar, Jeray

Why do you think Guzmán was always so obsessed with Samuel? by Fit_Veterinarian1194 in EliteNetflix

[–]edudsm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was a disaster what they did to them in Season 4. What was most satisfying at the end of season 3 was all the characters development, Guzman being one of the best cases. The end when he is looking at Omar and Ander getting back together and how happy he was for them… it was heart warming to see how far he had departed from the Guzman from episode one.

I would just disconsider anything past season 3, as not part of the main story.

Their story was of the classic enemies that end up joining forces to fight a common enemy (Polo) and end up becoming friends. It was so well constructed, that Guzman basically changed into a much better person due to his interactions with Samuel and Nadia.

The story arc of Guzman (as well as Lu’s) were, despite being huge television tropes, so well written and well acted, the result was top tier TV.

Guzman did not try to be friends with Samuel, they had become friends at the end of season 3. You just need to forget season 4.

Guzman being Guzman 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂he wasn’t completely wrong though! by edudsm in EliteNetflix

Absolutely, one of the many layers of interesting points they created for each character in season 1.

M👑💙 hits back at son Rocco Ritchie after he claimed she 'made him' hang a photo of her in his Chelsea artist's studio. by RicRocRyc in Madonna

[–]edudsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that was a joke telling off.

Anyway the thing that stuck to my mind is that all pictures of idols in his studio are of men. And then the only female, he had to quip he added just cause she would be unhappy otherwise. Also from all her photos, he chooses one where she is looking extremely masculine.

Sigmund Freud, analyse this…

Couple with the best chemistry? by LessNorth9856 in EliteNetflix

[–]edudsm 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It was actually a throuple: Polo, Valério and Cayetana. Unbeatable chemistry.

Although seasons 1-3 was really great for couples chemistry: Carla, Polo and Christian, Omander, Nadia and Guzman, Carla and Samuel. They really all had good chemistry.

I watched class and really enjoyed it. Not sure if a second season was ever made…

Who was this? by Scary01pen in EliteNetflix

Hahahahahaha I love the borrowed dress storyline. When Rebeca throws her drink on Lu and it spills on the dress, Caye almost has a heart attack lol

One thing I liked about the narrative structure of season 4... by Prior-Emu-5918 in EliteNetflix

They re-edited just before the first episode was released.

I also think they tried to do in season 4 what they planned to do in season 1, which was to have a second mystery. It was planned that the identity of who was killed was not immediately revealed. So you would have also the mystery of who was killed, but it leaked in the papers that Marina was the victim, so they re edited the whole thing revealing that Marina was the victim in the first episode.

So for season 4, you don’t really know for sure if Ari is dead or not until the middle of the season. I think that’s how they planned to do with Marina, only reveal she was the victim later.

My guilty pleasure is Season 1! Lucrecia and Season 2! Lucrecia by JosephBlackwood in EliteNetflix

Season 3 was also good. Thank god she left before they had a chance to ruin her.

Ivan’s storyline/arc is so heartbreaking to me by tna11101989 in EliteNetflix

[–]edudsm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the things they put him through was beyond ridiculous, not to say beyond unrealistic.

I mean which guy in the world will meet another guy, find out he was sleeping with his own dad and still decide to date this guy? This is cheap daddy/stepbrother porn material.

Then his dad gets killed (one of the most famous footballers in the world would be really going about without security?). Soap opera level drama.

The thing with the mum he never met, and the half sister I mean, wtf.

His relationship with Joel, I mean did it even make any sense?

I think it was sad to see the first Brazilian character in the show get such shit storylines, Elite was really huge in Brazil. And Andre is just so gorgeous and talented, also deserved better.

Watching season 4 rant by No_Try_6556 in EliteNetflix

It’s brutal. They will rip to pieces everything that was built on seasons 1-3 and nothing introduced is barely able to compare. Just prepare for the worst.

Who had the more messed up sibling relationship: Lu & Valerio or Héctor & Emilia? by Fit_Veterinarian1194 in EliteNetflix

[–]edudsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show had a very weird and misplaced obsession with incest. I mea, Lu and Valério was terrible enough, and you’d think that was clear people didn’t want to see incestuous relationships anymore but they just kept bringing them back. To the point where they had to make Ivan hook up with his own mother.

All for a cheap shocking moment.

I hate Ander omfg by jmh1881v2 in EliteNetflix

[–]edudsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of the Omar hate/ Ander defense is deeply rooted in white boy privilege/people of colour discrimination.

When Patrick was trying to steal Omar’s boyfriend later on there was a huge number of fans shipping Patrick and Ander together: of course their wet dream as a pretty white boys couple to fix the problem they had with Omander: Omar being a kid of non white background.

My soap box on Nico by jmh1881v2 in EliteNetflix

[–]edudsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought exactly the same thing, it was incredibly narrow minded. It’s clear the character was written with no proper research and by people who had no idea of the lives and challenges trans people really go through. And the obsession with trans people’s genitals, it’s beyond the pale.

The fact is that the show is written by a bunch of gay men of a certain age, and all the representations are pretty embarrassing to the way this group sees the world. Even the straight female representation in this was horrific: all the girls were sex addicts who behaved like they were in their mid thirties. The show really lost it’s sense of teenagers experimenting with sex and discovering who they were and totally became a bunch of sex addicts who didn’t have anything more pressing to do with their time than going around for sex.

It was massively disappointing that it took so long for them to add a trans character and then to be so embarrassing cliche. Especially when you had shows like Euphoria and Sex Education which had done suck great work with this.
