Tessa: Hardin isn’t really that bad. I mean… all he did was sleep with me as a bet. Break a few of my personal items to deal with his anger. Scream at me every time I even breathe next to another guy. Burn a house down with me still inside. Oh, and he did write an entire novel that included MY name and MY personal trauma. But it’s ok since he said “I’m sorry” for the 16374th time. Talk about redemption!

Natalie as a character is legit so dumb it actually pisses me off. Instead of having Hardin try to change in ways other than whining and wallowing in his own pity for a legitimate redemption arc, they had someone else do that for him by giving him the most unearned forgiveness for quite literally ruining someone’s life, this wasn’t even a fun garbage movie it was just pure flaming trash

the thing that bugs me is that the very few occassions we DO see him try to do better by taking accountability and not making the same mistakes over again, the other characters straight up stop him and are like "you don't have to do that, you've changed" like there's any change present apart from the very small one they're literally stopping him from following through on. Like "okay, so perhaps my taking out my issues on other people and leaving their lives destroyed in their wake while sharing all the painful, embarrassing details of it for personal gain is actually my bad, maybe I should apologise and actually ask next time before I share that kind of thing around... no, wait, both people I tried to apologise to said it was all their fault anyway and I have nothing to feel bad about and asking has no real weight because no-one will ever actually say no when I do anyway"

My favourite part was when they cured Tessa's infertility with the power of love. You know, after making it all about Hardin and how hard it was for *him* that she couldn't have children... Also, they never tell us what becomes of Tessa. Does she go back to college? Back into publishing? Did she remain a waitress? Did she make peace with her mother? As far as anyone knows, she ends her story married and pregnant to her abusive college boyfriend.

Hardin's redemption arch: "I'm trying. I'm sorry." Everyone else: "We love you and you're forgiven and we're sorry too" Uh what? Lol no. I'd never want people from my past to approach me nor want the ones who hurt me involved in my life again. They don't deserve to be.

It's funny to me that the concept of this movie is about Natalie's forgiveness. But Natalie's forgiveness isn't even about Natalie. Like, the whole premise of her forgiving Hardin isn't so Natalie can have closure or peace of mind (which I am a firm believer that someone doesn't have to forgive in order to move on and heal), instead Hardin gaining Natalie's forgiveness is so he can prove to Tessa that he's now a "better" person. Imagine using the trauma you caused someone else as the catalyst to prove to your ex you're redeemed. AND HE'S NOT EVEN REDEEMED! He's still the same man-child wallowing in his own half-baked self-pity from start to finish. We're just told he's "better" now. Gross movie all around. Also the fact that Josephine Langford chose not return for the final movie is kind of hilarious. Like, what does it say about garbage franchise when your lead actress doesn't want to come back for the finale.

I imagine it's him seeing the hate and criticism levelled at his (breakout) character and wanting to do a movie where he gets to show that the character's actually a good person and actually did work on himself before Tessa forgave him and was able to admit to and make amends for past mistakes that didn't even have anything to do with Tessa.... and then completely failed the mission because he's (presumably) never experienced true accountability or regret in his life and neither have half the people working on the movie

to be fair, I think she's supposed to be from an upper class family and they can be freaking weird. I can see a disgraced heiress being kicked out, not because she had sex but because she embarrassed her family by having the tape leaked. The scholarship thing pretty much makes no sense though.
@profelderflower

I thought the same thing, because if she's rich she doesn't need a scholarship to go to a UK university. It's still a fraction of the price of an American college. I mean the girl was driving a car at, what, 17? So she's definitely rich 😂 Even if she did "lose a scholarship" you can still apply for a student loan here into the academic year. Also, deferred entry is a thing here. No UK university would give a shit about what is clearly revenge porn. Anna Todd just really wanted to drive home how much Hardin ruined her life. She could have just said she went to Portugal to get away from the embarrassment for a while and then ended up loving it and staying there. But this story has a really weird propensity for making its main love interest as abhorrent as possible before being like "it's okay though, he said sorry."

I’ve been waiting for your response to this BS! But seriously, what makes me angry is that I think about how Spencer Reid never really received a happy ending, and how Jimmy Palmer was happily married with a daughter only for his wife to succumb to COVID. But Hardin gets a happy ending??? I don’t know if this comment makes sense, but that’s what I think when it comes to this ending. I still don’t understand how Hardin is d*ad or in prison. Lastly, the scene where Hardin gets beaten up is the most satisfying moment in cinema history. Edit: 4:44 I’m sorry, but I laughed when you said that.

I’m gonna be honest I enjoyed the third and fourth movie in the after series, but here is why. While every book to film adaptation is never going to be the exact same as the original novel it’s based on. Director Castile Landon at least made the 3rd and 4th faithful to novel. I don’t know who directed the fifth film After Everything, but essentially it is not like fourth novel, the only thing they got right was the wedding scene, and a little bit of the ending. But they ended the film series with a failure, Castile would have done everyone justice for the series, but they didn’t give her the chance.

People who compare Harden to Darcy clearly have not read or watched Pride and Prejudice. Yes, while both are enemies to lovers, that is all they have in common. Darcy is a decent human being who learned from his mistakes and Harden is a whiny, brooding f’boy who never learns from any mistake he has made. Harden committed arson. Darcy would never. Darcy respects Elizabeth and her boundaries. Harden never respected Tess’s anything, to be honest.

@@gabrielleduplessis7388 I don't really know what constitutes "enemies to lovers" in relatively contemporary settings (ie settings where trying to kill someone is meant to be seen as a bad thing). Rivals to lovers is probably the most accurate term. Though I will say it's kind of odd to me when I see things described as "enemies to lovers" when the characters just find each other annoying. There are quite a few people I moderately dislike, but I wouldn't call them my "enemy" because that implies we have a significant impact on each other's lives. I guess it varies person to person. I don't know what the point of this reply was 😂 Just felt like sharing my thoughts.

I loved it. Cuz it’s like book series and honestly it hurts me, as karalynn lovison, who doesn’t have a book series but I totally agree with everything because that’s how I am I don’t want to be known as a loner similar to Hardin because I’m a lover of the books, and can see me being Hardin because of me not being a person who knows how to meet nice people or express myself to my friends. Due to high school drama that was never true, but my friends in high school they treated me like after all the cry sessions I sat through with my friends then called me irratating and stupid for not understanding what I did wrong, so then I dropped all my high school friends. So this is why I believe my friends we’re wrong, so damn wrong they treated me like shit (during our fight) so I think we’re better people not being friends now
