Exactly, he literally lit a house on fire and his dad took the blame and he just allowed him to take the blame so he can stay out of trouble, when her dad dies he makes it all about him at the funeral, throws a literal tantrum when she breaks up with him, and trashes her in his book. Like my god what will it take ?
Hardin being a walking red flag is an understatement. He burnded down his mom's house, his dad took the blame and doesns't even care that he basically kept him from going to prison. Takes advantage of his girlfirend's emotional moments, gets upset if his girlfirend can't handle him every second while never once doing something for her, used his girlfriends real name in a book (seriously she could sue) and spill all her secrets and intimate moments then say its not about you, and gaslights her all the time into feeling guilty and gets back into her life when she gets away and is finally happy. This relationship is toxic as hell. Most of these Wattpad stories turned movies are, and I'm blaming 50 shades. These are teaching a generation the wrong things on how to handle a relationship and showing toxic behavior as either something to put up with or fixable.

Fun fact the saying "Blood is thicker then water" is actually "The blood of the covenant is thicker then the water of the womb" which is saying relationships you build are stronger than just blood ties. That being said, Tessa, girl, just run.
Imagine if this series really was 30 minutes long. Tessa listens to her mother, gets a room change from that shady bitch Steph, she meets Landon, she never meets Hardin, and the start of college is going well for her. There. Done. I just fixed the entire story.
Or we could have a story of a girl learning how to read red flags and who learn to get out of toxic relationships instead of wanting more. Just one movie, doesn't need four.
It's because a lot of weirdos want this stuff, both men and women. I have only met women like this though they would on purposely stay with dudes that were in prison with drug and assault charges
She didn't like our other coworker because he was "nice" and would be boring blew my mind she wouldn't go out with him and stayed with the abusive drug using felon.
Hardin saying he wants "little versions of me" reveals so much more about the character than whoever wrote that line intended. Like he could have said kids, children, babies, but nope that would imply that he actually wants to be a father. He's so narcissistic he probably thinks that what the world needs is more of him.
I read only the first half of the first book. I stopped when Tessa discovered the blood stained bed sheets in his car and learned that it was a bet all along and guess what she still stayed with him, INSANITY!!!!!
That statement Alex made about not owing someone respect cuz they’re blood related to you , and gave you the bare minimum as your caretaker, is something a LOT of people need to hear
@@AmoebaInkwhat did you expect to do with the child YOU DECIDED to BRING in this world ? You thought who was going to take of them ? You thought you get a pay for it ? You thought it is an easy decision ? That's why people ask you to think 10 times before having a child. You don't deserve a reward for taking care of a child YOU DECIDED to bring in this world. People should learn what it takes to be a parent and how it will change their life before having a child. The world will NEVER STOP OR CHANGE because you had a kid. No one cares about you having a kid down here. Reality is harsh and you gotta have a child if you are MATURE AND BIG ENOUGH.
@@JM_Mk This is all true and well, but it doesnt change what they said, that there is more to acknowledge or respect in someone doing what they can, perhaps failing in some places, than ditching your kid and running off somewhere or straight up abusing them.

8:23 "oh to be young and stupid" Fr. You can't fix or save anyone, they have to work on themselves. Don't put up with their bullshit in hopes that you can love them into being a happier and healthier person.

So...Tessa can't have kids but Hardin's mad and whining about it because she "caused him pain" for not being able to make him children because he thinks it's his right without ANY other thought about Tessa or anything else other than himself about the whole ordeal? Dude just made Tessa's dad's funeral and now her infertility all about himself. Honestly at this point I'm not even surprised how this guy's so off the rails. Yeah definitely the main character in a love story material.☺️
This series is literally a "how to be in a toxic relationship 101" 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ glad Alex makes these for those of us that wanna spare our braincells
Me too 😂😂. Been thinking of designing underwear with the whole building contractor concept for Tess. Cause at this point, she is the embodiment of "I can fix him". 🤦♀️🤦♀️
At this point is not even a red flag anymore, he is a whole banderole with "I am dangerous" writing in capital letter, and a siren that screams the same thing in case you don't see
I think the thing that bothers me the most about these books/movies is how they glorify toxic abusive relationships, and it’s fans are just like oh well
I don't understand how the books even got out there in the first place. Like somebody had to read the whole thing and think "Ha! This gonna be a best-seller". Like, how?? And then another genius had to read the final thing and go "this is perfect for 5 freaking movies!".
@@kreyaSun Their apparently wattpad books. So....they didn't sell any copies it just got enough 'views'. For some reason studios are like that enough lets make a movie based on views on a wattpad story. Other people have made comments on other reader videos talking about who on wattpad every-single paragraph is filled with comments of people bashing the loving hell out of Harden and Tess relationship. Apparently none of the studios read the watpad story or looked at the comments because the 'fun' of the story was the inside jokes/making fun and bashing harden and tess relationship/actions. In, all honesty sounds like 'fans' were doing everything that Alex is saying in this video.
Yep, that's the formula for so many 'romance' stories. Repetitive tropes and couples more toxic than a nuclear waste storage (that causes Lovecraftian telepathic diseases)
6:34 when the only good memory with your boyfriend is about the time you two got erased by Thanos' snap, it becomes a sign you have to break-up with him.
Yeah, their are also making more apparently! A 5th one is coming out soon, and I heard they planned on making more of these movies after. So, if rumors are true their could be up to three new movies. But Shows like Julie and the phantoms can't get other season but let's make multiple after movies, because that makes sense.
The success of the 50 Shades and After franchises makes me lose faith in humanity, but your videos making fun of them always restore a little of it back.
I love my family but they would all get in bad moods randomly and snap or yell at everyone around, and I was reduced to mediator or therapist because I never got angry. It felt like walking on eggshells, meanwhile my fiancé and our roommate never snap or yell at me and I feel like my relationship has gotten a lot closer to my brother even though I'm farther away.
I don't think your "unpopular opinion" should be unpopular at all. I totally agree. Being blood related means nothing. It's all about what you do from there. You can be someone's son or daughter and be an absolute jerk to them. Heck, some families kill each other. You can also be complete strangers and show so much compassion and support for each other that you form unbreakable bonds. Relatives are decided by genetics. Family is decided by us (Edited: I'll say that it personally means nothing, but I respect anyone who does care about that. I've just seen way too many relatives of mine and others act like complete jerks. For me, that's not enough to be related. People have to demonstrate to me that they care. I have some relatives I love with my everything because they have been there for me and other relatives I don't even view as family because they've shown they don't feel that way either)
I do not think it means nothing. I mean you can never cut the bond between you and your parents or you and your offspring. Imagine to find a new child... I don't mean that it is something good. What our genetics give us is good and bad. But I believe you should confront youself with your roots or you'll have none.
@@murielfischer6823 This is ridiculous. You CAN break the bonds, and many people SHOULD. You don’t owe someone anything just because you share genetics, and you shouldn’t worry about how much your cutting them off will hurt them if the only thing they do is hurt you. Chosen family is always superior to blood family, and everyone whose chosen family includes their blood family is lucky to have that bond.
@@murielfischer6823while I do agree with you that blood relation does NOT mean nothing, you can absolutely break the bond between parent and child. You do not owe anyone anything if they disrespect you and have shown time and time again that they do not value their family.
"little versions of himself" wtf?! Even in his own narrative he's a narcissistic a$$hole with no redeeming qualities. You find out your girlfriend is infertile and your first thought is "so I won't have a bunch of little me's running around? But I like me, I want to have little me's cuz that's even better! A bunch of little me's 😭" seriously? This "relationship" is absolutely disgusting even by fanfic standards. Somehow the After series managed to make Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey seem functional in comparison.
@@hafsa.90I'm at a weird age where I date from like 21 to 30, but I ignore anyone under 24 I can't do it they are so immature and seriously want stuff like this.
I didn't watch the movie and I freaking hate it so much already I've seen a little of 50 shades but the psychological trauma in this one is way worse. WTF was the author thinking apparently the movie had to turn it down a notch due to how fu$$$ing disgusting it was.
This series is so grating...how many warning signs of a toxic abusive person can one guy possibly have?? And the amount of times they fight, break up, f***, get back together...oh my god. This can't just keep going forever.
THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING :D After was originally released as a fanfiction on Wattpad. Anna Todd's writing of the novel was inspired by the music and fandom of One Direction. She took inspiration from singer Harry Styles and based the fanfiction on him.
I was even blocked by her on my wattpad for calling her out on her romanticism of toxic relationships on impressionable young girls (and you would not believe all the young girls wanting a guy like Hardin)
@@DecembraWinters Oh I believe it. Guys like Hardin, Christian Grey or that mafia dude from 365 days movie, with their toxic masculinity and immaturity, acting like man-children are somehow atractive these days. The lesson for women should be "love yourself and run fast from guys like that" instead the message is "No matter how badly a guy treats you, keep fighting and comming for more, he must have a reason for threating you like shit, maybe you can fix him....also he is hot so what more do you want." How they managed to make 5 movies about Hardin and Tessa is beiond me, I almost died watching the first one.
@@NKL-bl6wr yeah, I felt the same way watching it. It's so sad we don't get healthy relationships in movies and books anymore, and if we do they're rare.
I love how all the After movie posters are all lovey dovey and intimate, but the movie on the other hand is nothing but trama, agressiveness, toxicity, Hardin bring a walking red flag and Tessa being the ‘I could fix him’ girl.
You know Alex, you *don't* have to respect your parents just because they're your parents. Respect is earned. Well said. Also, I kinda relate to that graph in 4:15.
After Movie Formula: -Hardin gets mad about something -Tessa is happy and content until Hardin comes in moping -Tessa gets mad that Hardin is mad for no reason -Hot guy talks to Tessa and is genuinely respectful to her, making Hardin even more mad and ignore Tessa -Hardin and Tessa fight, then do the “devil’s tango” -Hardin says “Fock” many times -Hardin breaks stuff and screams -People go out of their way to tell Hardin that Tessa is the best thing that ever happened to him, but never the other way around -Tessa gets an opportunity to pursue what’s best for her, but she decides to stay in her abusive and toxic relationship with Hardin because she’s stupid and has no self respect -Tessa and Hardin break up for 5 seconds and immediately get back together after having never learned they are SO wrong for each other
ALEX YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT SHARE MY VIEWS ON "BLOOD FAMILY"!!! I swear whenever people say "but they're my [insert family relation here]" and I say "but do they respect you?" I get told some of the weirdest stuff. I've LITERALLY been told "that doesn't matter, they're my [family relation]." It's so frustrating.
I really hate how they promote such a toxic relationship. Hardin is a walking red flag, his anger issues and criminal behaviour is just a tip of the iceberg. This book is pretty much encouraging young girls to think this is what a relationship should look like and to accept this kind of behaviour when in reality the sensible thing to do would be to get out of it as soon as possible. Absolutely horrid series of books.
No lol do not try to defend twilight, that book and movie were/are bad. We gave shit of a tough time to the actors and actresses, that I agree with, but not the movie, no.
On one hand, i semi blame twilight for opening the floodgates for romanticized toxic romances. On the other hand, it is the least of all evils and it is one of the few franchises that stayed where they are. While Harry Potter and Hunger games are all getting remakes and spin offs, Twilight stayed
I read something years ago that pretty much sums up Wuthering Heights for me: "Catherine and Heathcliff are two giant A**HOLES." It's not a romance novel, it's a miserable Gothic Tragedy. Even the innocent characters are a pain in the a**.
@@tosh.m.kI think it’s a very good book. It’s not supposed to be a perfect romance. That’s the problem with people who misinterpret the book. It’s a Gothic novel, and Emily herself never married (she died young).
Can’t believe I read this on Wattpad and thought it was romantic just because back then it wasn’t “Hardin” it was “Harry”. My 12 year old self had no business reading this lmao
it just baffles me that people whine endlessly about superhero movies and yet they have no problem with sludge like this "film" corrupting our screens.
Superheroes are entertaining and give us an escape. The after movies just showcase a toxic relationship and hope we root for them. Tbf tho my 14 year old self would have eaten this up
@@Cleopatra536superheroes movies are also toxic and problematic(iron man 1 and captain marvel are US military propaganda,scarlet witch and pietro are whitewashed and became literal n4zis in mcu and wanda get continuisly redeemded even though she does nor she never deserved that,making sam a us soldier even though in the comics he was a social worker,the whole american exceptionalism and foreign intervation that the avengers do in other countries without people asking them,the romantization of the CIA with shield and yeah the list goes one)
@@hurremhightower I never said they don't have their own problems. But most people watch these to escape reality and have some form of entertainment. It's the fantasy aspect we are after.
@wwanca3771 Of all the issues in mcu writing, how have you managed to choose the worst examples? Consider my tone more playful than patronizing, this isn’t a confrontational type of response. Shield is revealed as infested with hydra throughout its ranks for decades and is destroyed. While the “good” side that remains trying to keep the ideals of shield going are frequently shown as morally and ethically questionable. Thunderbolt ross represents the military in hulk stories, and iron man stories constantly has the libertarian billionaire flouting the military because he sees them as inept and that arming them would be dangerous for the world. The maximovs are people radicalized by war, and being that their family was a casualty of senseless violence, killed by stark tech they join the people fighting their enemy. Much like people who are radicalized by u.s attacks on their countries and join organizations that are just a different shade of fascist because they are largely ignorant and inculcated. Civil war, which was a wasted plotline because of how rushed it was, was literally about the avengers being a rogue group of people who answered to no authority and how they had to agree to the sokovia accords to keep operating. Although one could definitely say that it’s not clear cut which side the writers expect the viewer to support and that’s by choice, it’s meant to be a philosophical discussion about the consequence of having such a group. Marvel doesn’t really address the military, it’s background noise story wise, but definitely an air force ad. As for consistency to sam’s character lore, the multiverse has been a thing for decades and I don’t know how people can keep saying “this isn’t how it is in the comics” while also knowing how many different continuities there have been over decades of stories.
This explains a lot about my sister and her current boyfriend..... cuz she loved these books. Shows toxic people in a romantic light and calls its "love".
Is this you throwing a subtle reference to when Hero, Hardin actor, actually played the role of young Tom Riddle in HP universe? Cuz that's a smart move. I really hope to see Hero playing grown up version of Tom Riddle. 😫
@@Dis_is_Euphe Fun Fact : Hero is Ralph Fiennes' nephew (you can obviously tell by his middle name). Yes young Voldemort and Voldemort himself played by actors that are related
Wait a minute.. these After FILMS are still going?! 🤣 never watched them except through the humour of this channel but I genuinely thought they were done. On the one hand I'm eternally baffled how this is hasn't died its death yet but on the other.. we wouldn't get these being beautifully ripped to pieces by Alex if not so I'm conflicted lol.
"If things are real bad, she'll give herself bangs." . ... I *puts down my own scissors* Ok, but, like there really is something therapeutic about giving yourself a fringe of bangs & I cannot explain it, but it is like a real sign of distress for some of us. I hate myself with bangs, but do it every so often. My actual self-care plan for today is a new chestnut brown hair dye with blonde highlights. I may skip the haircut I'd planned, tho... Except I really feel like bangs right now.
@@yellowishgreendragon.-. 🤣 No. I have childhood trauma from that. 🤣🤣 I tend to go for choppy, sharp cuts & just a little valance kind of fringe toward the center of my face pulls the crazy snips together for me. Usually. It's the maintaining the style or living with that uck period where it grows out that I can't stand.
I thought the series ended with After 4 and at the end they stayed apart and went their own ways like reasonable people. It seems I had too much hope for these characters...
Hardin is far too much like my first boyfriend. He didn't burn down his mother's house, but he did call me and say that I had to take him to home depot to get stuff to repair a hole he punched in the wall. Also, he didn't have any money so I had to pay for it. Of course, he didn't say that until we were at the checkout. This kind of behavior isn't attractive, shouldn't be fantasized about, and if you're in a relationship like this just know that you're worthy of love and respect and you can do so much better!!
4:004:05 Thank you, Alex, for saying this. This is especially true for parents who agree with "old school parenting" like spanking or hitting your kids when they throw a tantrum. I once saw a video of a parent who forced their kid to sleep on the patio for not being home by curfew, and the comments were agreeing with it, calling it "old school parenting," and I'm like, That's just trying to justify abuse. When a kid calls their parent out for their abuse, they will reply, I put clothes on your back, food in your stomach, ect., and I'm like, Yeah, that's what you are supposed to do when you decide to have a kid. Would you like a gold medal for not letting the kid you decided of your own free will to create die?
I don't agree with old school parenting, but I also don't agree with "New school parenting" or whatever you want to call, what's going on at the moment. Apparently it's really difficult to raise a Child the healthy way in this world. According to all the media etc. It's just sad what's going on everywhere
Yeah, cuz the new school parenting is going so well. If more kids got told no or got their asses beat when needed, they wouldn’t be such entitled little sh*t-stain “adults” they are today.
04:00 it means a lot to hear alex say what he said about not owing your parents anything for sheltering and feeding you and offering nothing else. these are my circumstances and that's the exact argument my mother uses when me or my sister bring it up. we aren't given emotional support, we aren't spoken to and i can't remember the last time my mother spent the night at home, and it's very validating hearing someone else say what my sister and i always do. makes me feel a little less crazy when my mother calls me ungrateful for being Kept Alive.
Alex is so fun to watch. I’ve been watching him all throughout college and today is my first day on my first job. I’m so glad I got to watch a new video before leaving for the day. Wish me luck!
Man, I enjoyed every second of watching DylanIsInTrouble reacting to the After movies, losing his damn mind and going through pure agony. I know I'll enjoy listening to you roasting the hell out of it.
3:08 As someone who had no business reading these books on wattpad as they came out as a 12 year old - yeah that’s pretty much the whole series in a nutshell
i know this is satire, but i once knew a guy EXACTLY like hardin personality-wise and oh my gosh it was so stressful trying to break off from the friendship. people like that are so exhausting and aren't worth your time, because usually they've got some sort of actual anger issue they need to work through first. if you know someone like this or are in a relationship with them, please do everything you can to get out of there. it's so exhausting, so mentally taxing, and can become dangerous very quickly.
I’ve never been so happy to watch a person’s brain melt. I saw the announcement for this movie and started smiling. I look forward to the After 5 review.

People should learn what it takes to be a parent and how it will change their life before having a child. The world will NEVER STOP OR CHANGE because you had a kid. No one cares about you having a kid down here. Reality is harsh and you gotta have a child if you are MATURE AND BIG ENOUGH.

@@JM_Mk This is all true and well, but it doesnt change what they said, that there is more to acknowledge or respect in someone doing what they can, perhaps failing in some places, than ditching your kid and running off somewhere or straight up abusing them.
@@EoCA777 Those two last parts are LITERALLY THE BARE MINIMUM you can do as a human being, you deserve no acknowledgement or respect for not abusing an infant/child, absolutely none, are you sane?
This is life with a malignant narcissist. It doesn't get better, because they can never be more than they are. They just age. Stunted rage. It's disturbing in the extreme to romanticize it.

The most upsetting thing about this train-wreck is that the unambitious unstable arsonist just accidentally-es his way into a lucrative book deal.
Hardin selling out their relationship for fame under the guise of emotional healing has got to be Tessa’s final straw
I wish, I really wish
It's TO BE CONTINUED so she'll probably come back like the doormat she is.
It's giving Chuck Bass trading Blair for his hotel...but with national humiliation 😅
My final straw would have been the fact, that He made a bet with his friends to get her virginity in the first movie...

8:23 "oh to be young and stupid"
Fr. You can't fix or save anyone, they have to work on themselves. Don't put up with their bullshit in hopes that you can love them into being a happier and healthier person.
If i heard correctly, Hardin used her ACTUAL REAL NAME in the book and thought that was an okay thing to do without disucssing with her or getting her approval on and then has the audacity to say "It isnt about you!"
Home boy is beyond mental for that
After crying about how she doesn’t tell him anything like moving to New York… okay!

"He hoped she would understand how broken he was, and see how much she affected his life." HOLY MANIPULATION. How the hell is this series STILL going to be continued uuuggghhhh
Wait, why wouldn't they call it "4Ever After?" It'd be dumb but at least it wouldn't make people think they're having a stroke.
I thought the same thing. "4 ever after" sounds way better than the mess they came up with😅
Pretty sure that's the title of the 4th Shrek movie lol
YEAH!!
I mean, if they were smart enough for that, they would also be smart enough to know that this movie shouldn't be made
So...Tessa can't have kids but Hardin's mad and whining about it because she "caused him pain" for not being able to make him children because he thinks it's his right without ANY other thought about Tessa or anything else other than himself about the whole ordeal? Dude just made Tessa's dad's funeral and now her infertility all about himself.
Honestly at this point I'm not even surprised how this guy's so off the rails. Yeah definitely the main character in a love story material.☺️
Dylan would be so proud right now 🥹
I would love to see an Alex and Dylan collab for the the last After movie
ohh me too

This series is literally a "how to be in a toxic relationship 101" 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ glad Alex makes these for those of us that wanna spare our braincells
Hardin burnt his mom's house?? 💀 Bro's always been a walking red flag. TESSA WAKE UP
at this point, Tessa's a lost cause, I just sit back and enjoy the agony.
Me too 😂😂.
Been thinking of designing underwear with the whole building contractor concept for Tess. Cause at this point, she is the embodiment of "I can fix him". 🤦♀️🤦♀️
At this point is not even a red flag anymore, he is a whole banderole with "I am dangerous" writing in capital letter, and a siren that screams the same thing in case you don't see
@@nanalove3819he is 100% an abuser later in a relationship, and she is just totally ok with it
I think the thing that bothers me the most about these books/movies is how they glorify toxic abusive relationships, and it’s fans are just like oh well
It’s amazing how they made four movies of this series, despite the couple being insanely toxic and the plots being very repetitive
And they’re gonna make a fifth 😭
I don't understand how the books even got out there in the first place. Like somebody had to read the whole thing and think "Ha! This gonna be a best-seller". Like, how?? And then another genius had to read the final thing and go "this is perfect for 5 freaking movies!".
@@kreyaSun Their apparently wattpad books. So....they didn't sell any copies it just got enough 'views'. For some reason studios are like that enough lets make a movie based on views on a wattpad story. Other people have made comments on other reader videos talking about who on wattpad every-single paragraph is filled with comments of people bashing the loving hell out of Harden and Tess relationship. Apparently none of the studios read the watpad story or looked at the comments because the 'fun' of the story was the inside jokes/making fun and bashing harden and tess relationship/actions.
In, all honesty sounds like 'fans' were doing everything that Alex is saying in this video.
Yep, that's the formula for so many 'romance' stories. Repetitive tropes and couples more toxic than a nuclear waste storage (that causes Lovecraftian telepathic diseases)

@@melissaherrera940 dear god, give this animated character a medal
Yeah, their are also making more apparently! A 5th one is coming out soon, and I heard they planned on making more of these movies after. So, if rumors are true their could be up to three new movies. But Shows like Julie and the phantoms can't get other season but let's make multiple after movies, because that makes sense.
@@annamarie1914 I am so bitter about JATP not getting another season. That cliffhanger
This was my first thought when I saw the video
The success of the 50 Shades and After franchises makes me lose faith in humanity, but your videos making fun of them always restore a little of it back.
"the further i got from my family, the better my life became" As someone who recently got into college, I relate to this on a spiritual level
Same happened to me. I began therapy, talked a lot and I'm doing alright, better than all of the years I spent close to my family.
@oAldanitao good for you ❤️
True!! Also it all depends if you feel happy at home too
I love my family but they would all get in bad moods randomly and snap or yell at everyone around, and I was reduced to mediator or therapist because I never got angry. It felt like walking on eggshells, meanwhile my fiancé and our roommate never snap or yell at me and I feel like my relationship has gotten a lot closer to my brother even though I'm farther away.
Please don't go home again then, you're better that way. I hope you get old alone
“Shut up you’re not my real dad” needs to go platinum.
I don't think your "unpopular opinion" should be unpopular at all. I totally agree. Being blood related means nothing. It's all about what you do from there. You can be someone's son or daughter and be an absolute jerk to them. Heck, some families kill each other. You can also be complete strangers and show so much compassion and support for each other that you form unbreakable bonds. Relatives are decided by genetics. Family is decided by us
(Edited: I'll say that it personally means nothing, but I respect anyone who does care about that. I've just seen way too many relatives of mine and others act like complete jerks. For me, that's not enough to be related. People have to demonstrate to me that they care. I have some relatives I love with my everything because they have been there for me and other relatives I don't even view as family because they've shown they don't feel that way either)
I do not think it means nothing. I mean you can never cut the bond between you and your parents or you and your offspring. Imagine to find a new child... I don't mean that it is something good. What our genetics give us is good and bad. But I believe you should confront youself with your roots or you'll have none.
@@murielfischer6823 This is ridiculous. You CAN break the bonds, and many people SHOULD. You don’t owe someone anything just because you share genetics, and you shouldn’t worry about how much your cutting them off will hurt them if the only thing they do is hurt you. Chosen family is always superior to blood family, and everyone whose chosen family includes their blood family is lucky to have that bond.
@@murielfischer6823while I do agree with you that blood relation does NOT mean nothing, you can absolutely break the bond between parent and child. You do not owe anyone anything if they disrespect you and have shown time and time again that they do not value their family.
😑

Disney Channel movies, Twilight movies, Riverdale, Netflix movies and 90s movies...
*ALEX STOP TORTUTING YOURSELF THIS WAY!*
disney channel movies are way better than these (also which 90s movies u talking about? theyre still good)
Then how is going to keep his channel going?
I thought the same
🤣🤣🤣
He sacrifices for us to save us from watching the actual movies. He blesses us with matryrdom and entertainment.
Hey, some people find a job that pays well, even if they suffer to do so, so let's be happy for his success
"little versions of himself" wtf?! Even in his own narrative he's a narcissistic a$$hole with no redeeming qualities. You find out your girlfriend is infertile and your first thought is "so I won't have a bunch of little me's running around? But I like me, I want to have little me's cuz that's even better! A bunch of little me's 😭" seriously? This "relationship" is absolutely disgusting even by fanfic standards. Somehow the After series managed to make Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey seem functional in comparison.
It is WILD. but the saddest part is that teenagers are reading this and thinking it's romantic and relationship goals 😮💨
@@hafsa.90I'm at a weird age where I date from like 21 to 30, but I ignore anyone under 24 I can't do it they are so immature and seriously want stuff like this.
I didn't watch the movie and I freaking hate it so much already I've seen a little of 50 shades but the psychological trauma in this one is way worse. WTF was the author thinking apparently the movie had to turn it down a notch due to how fu$$$ing disgusting it was.
How has this guy not gone crazy after watching these movies!?!?
@Savetion.. you made a video laughing about a dead dog, yh Alex is better
Tbf he did watch all of Riverdale for 6 years straight
I would watch Alex narrate both of my dogs drinking and then taking a s... Stroll

Alex has watched the entirety of Riverdale is still fine. I think he can endure anything at this point 😂
Woman: I’m sorry I couldn’t fix you.
Man: well I’m not sorry I couldn’t fix me so that’s on you
Alex, you will be remembered in the history books for the sacrifices you have made to save me from my college apps

The way I went "THERE'S A FOURTH?!" *utter disbelief*
"Dont quote Hemingway at me!!"
And like that I laughed my ass off!!!
This series is so grating...how many warning signs of a toxic abusive person can one guy possibly have?? And the amount of times they fight, break up, f***, get back together...oh my god. This can't just keep going forever.
this is the most toxic relationship i've ever seen in fiction
Most other toxic relationships in media either gets smoothed out or ends, this is neither of those
In the books they literally break up every single chapter then get back together it was awful and so annoying
THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING :D
After was originally released as a fanfiction on Wattpad. Anna Todd's writing of the novel was inspired by the music and fandom of One Direction. She took inspiration from singer Harry Styles and based the fanfiction on him.
Yeah, and the real Harry Styles blocked her on Twitter because she was being so creepy toward him.
@@tsifirakiehl4250😮Oooh I did not know that! Big yikes.
I was even blocked by her on my wattpad for calling her out on her romanticism of toxic relationships on impressionable young girls (and you would not believe all the young girls wanting a guy like Hardin)
@@DecembraWinters Oh I believe it. Guys like Hardin, Christian Grey or that mafia dude from 365 days movie, with their toxic masculinity and immaturity, acting like man-children are somehow atractive these days. The lesson for women should be "love yourself and run fast from guys like that" instead the message is "No matter how badly a guy treats you, keep fighting and comming for more, he must have a reason for threating you like shit, maybe you can fix him....also he is hot so what more do you want." How they managed to make 5 movies about Hardin and Tessa is beiond me, I almost died watching the first one.
@@NKL-bl6wr yeah, I felt the same way watching it. It's so sad we don't get healthy relationships in movies and books anymore, and if we do they're rare.
Isn't it illegal to write about someone in your book without their consent? There's no way he'd get published irl.
Pretty sure he'd have to get Tessa's consent or she could sue him for violating her privacy
He probably bribed the publisher or something like that.
@@straawberryfieldsforever The books straight up used the name Harry, thank god they atleast changed it to Hardin in the movies
Especially since the story is a psychopath romanticizing is abusive behavior
@@straawberryfieldsforeverreally!?💀💀 lmfao
I just lost it when hardin screamed from the rooftop, my brother was so confused and honestly so am I
"hey i slept with your mom, but that's cause I was friends with your dad" lmfaooooo
What bothers me the most about these movies is teens thinking this is how a relationship should be 💀
I’m so excited to watch Alex’s brain unravel through these emotionally constipated toddlers.
“Tessa loses her dad to the evil Cookie Crisp burglars”.
I have never loved this channel as much as I do in this moment.
I love how all the After movie posters are all lovey dovey and intimate, but the movie on the other hand is nothing but trama, agressiveness, toxicity, Hardin bring a walking red flag and Tessa being the ‘I could fix him’ girl.
You know Alex, you *don't* have to respect your parents just because they're your parents. Respect is earned. Well said. Also, I kinda relate to that graph in 4:15.
4:08 alex is so real for that omg!! alot of parents really think the bare minimum is a priviledge
After Movie Formula:
-Hardin gets mad about something
-Tessa is happy and content until Hardin comes in moping
-Tessa gets mad that Hardin is mad for no reason
-Hot guy talks to Tessa and is genuinely respectful to her, making Hardin even more mad and ignore Tessa
-Hardin and Tessa fight, then do the “devil’s tango”
-Hardin says “Fock” many times
-Hardin breaks stuff and screams
-People go out of their way to tell Hardin that Tessa is the best thing that ever happened to him, but never the other way around
-Tessa gets an opportunity to pursue what’s best for her, but she decides to stay in her abusive and toxic relationship with Hardin because she’s stupid and has no self respect
-Tessa and Hardin break up for 5 seconds and immediately get back together after having never learned they are SO wrong for each other
ALEX YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT SHARE MY VIEWS ON "BLOOD FAMILY"!!! I swear whenever people say "but they're my [insert family relation here]" and I say "but do they respect you?" I get told some of the weirdest stuff. I've LITERALLY been told "that doesn't matter, they're my [family relation]." It's so frustrating.
That last line was basically my mom’s justification for outing me to my dad as pansexual. Only she somehow made it even worse.
4:31 HAD ME ROLLINGGGG THE HIGH NOTE PLEASEEE
Bro you know how hilarious the movie is when Alex's voice goes higher and higher 😂😂😂
I really hate how they promote such a toxic relationship. Hardin is a walking red flag, his anger issues and criminal behaviour is just a tip of the iceberg. This book is pretty much encouraging young girls to think this is what a relationship should look like and to accept this kind of behaviour when in reality the sensible thing to do would be to get out of it as soon as possible. Absolutely horrid series of books.
The after movies make me realize that we were to tough on Twilight growing up at least twilight had some semblance of a good plot
No lol do not try to defend twilight, that book and movie were/are bad. We gave shit of a tough time to the actors and actresses, that I agree with, but not the movie, no.
On one hand, i semi blame twilight for opening the floodgates for romanticized toxic romances.
On the other hand, it is the least of all evils and it is one of the few franchises that stayed where they are. While Harry Potter and Hunger games are all getting remakes and spin offs, Twilight stayed
At least to Twilight’s credit they had the immortal and everlasting hilarity that is Michael Sheen’s performance to somewhat balance it out
@@ezelfrancisco1349twilight is getting a remake too...😊
@@katgreer6113 well, fuck!
Alex is really bringing the "tired girl best friend" energy in this one with how sick he is of Hardin's excuses and Tessa's doormat behavior

Trust me better to learn than be in that situation
i remember when the original author Ana actually had this entire series as a harry styles fanfic before it got a wattpad verification then the movies
Wuthering Heights being a character's favorite novel is just such a huge red flag lol
I read something years ago that pretty much sums up Wuthering Heights for me: "Catherine and Heathcliff are two giant A**HOLES."
It's not a romance novel, it's a miserable Gothic Tragedy. Even the innocent characters are a pain in the a**.
I read it years ago and i was baffled at how it could be someones favourite book
@@tosh.m.kI think it’s a very good book. It’s not supposed to be a perfect romance. That’s the problem with people who misinterpret the book. It’s a Gothic novel, and Emily herself never married (she died young).
As Edward Cullen said it’s not a love story it’s a hate story lol
Can’t believe I read this on Wattpad and thought it was romantic just because back then it wasn’t “Hardin” it was “Harry”. My 12 year old self had no business reading this lmao
it just baffles me that people whine endlessly about superhero movies and yet they have no problem with sludge like this "film" corrupting our screens.
Superheroes are entertaining and give us an escape. The after movies just showcase a toxic relationship and hope we root for them. Tbf tho my 14 year old self would have eaten this up
@@Cleopatra536superheroes movies are also toxic and problematic(iron man 1 and captain marvel are US military propaganda,scarlet witch and pietro are whitewashed and became literal n4zis in mcu and wanda get continuisly redeemded even though she does nor she never deserved that,making sam a us soldier even though in the comics he was a social worker,the whole american exceptionalism and foreign intervation that the avengers do in other countries without people asking them,the romantization of the CIA with shield and yeah the list goes one)
@@hurremhightower I never said they don't have their own problems. But most people watch these to escape reality and have some form of entertainment. It's the fantasy aspect we are after.
I'm pretty sure the people who complain about superhero movies also complain about these silly YA movies lol
@wwanca3771
Of all the issues in mcu writing, how have you managed to choose the worst examples? Consider my tone more playful than patronizing, this isn’t a confrontational type of response.
Shield is revealed as infested with hydra throughout its ranks for decades and is destroyed. While the “good” side that remains trying to keep the ideals of shield going are frequently shown as morally and ethically questionable.
Thunderbolt ross represents the military in hulk stories, and iron man stories constantly has the libertarian billionaire flouting the military because he sees them as inept and that arming them would be dangerous for the world.
The maximovs are people radicalized by war, and being that their family was a casualty of senseless violence, killed by stark tech they join the people fighting their enemy. Much like people who are radicalized by u.s attacks on their countries and join organizations that are just a different shade of fascist because they are largely ignorant and inculcated.
Civil war, which was a wasted plotline because of how rushed it was, was literally about the avengers being a rogue group of people who answered to no authority and how they had to agree to the sokovia accords to keep operating. Although one could definitely say that it’s not clear cut which side the writers expect the viewer to support and that’s by choice, it’s meant to be a philosophical discussion about the consequence of having such a group.
Marvel doesn’t really address the military, it’s background noise story wise, but definitely an air force ad.
As for consistency to sam’s character lore, the multiverse has been a thing for decades and I don’t know how people can keep saying “this isn’t how it is in the comics” while also knowing how many different continuities there have been over decades of stories.
This explains a lot about my sister and her current boyfriend..... cuz she loved these books. Shows toxic people in a romantic light and calls its "love".
This might be the most depressing comment on the entire video... I really hope that she wakes up at some point
This Hardin guy is so good he should definitely play young Voldemort in a Harry Potter prequel series.
Is this you throwing a subtle reference to when Hero, Hardin actor, actually played the role of young Tom Riddle in HP universe? Cuz that's a smart move.
I really hope to see Hero playing grown up version of Tom Riddle. 😫

Props to Harry Styles for having the self respect to not be a part of this.
Harry Styles has the author of this monstrosity blocked on social media because this creeped him out so much.
Wait a minute.. these After FILMS are still going?! 🤣 never watched them except through the humour of this channel but I genuinely thought they were done. On the one hand I'm eternally baffled how this is hasn't died its death yet but on the other.. we wouldn't get these being beautifully ripped to pieces by Alex if not so I'm conflicted lol.
"If things are real bad, she'll give herself bangs." . ... I
*puts down my own scissors* Ok, but, like there really is something therapeutic about giving yourself a fringe of bangs & I cannot explain it, but it is like a real sign of distress for some of us. I hate myself with bangs, but do it every so often.

@@Sabrina-sc1db It is so accurate! I can't decide if I felt seen or called out when he said that, but facts. When something goes wrong, we get bangs.
I thought the series ended with After 4 and at the end they stayed apart and went their own ways like reasonable people. It seems I had too much hope for these characters...
You know what, if they get together by film 5, I'm sticking to headcanon that their story ended here.
Hardin is far too much like my first boyfriend. He didn't burn down his mother's house, but he did call me and say that I had to take him to home depot to get stuff to repair a hole he punched in the wall.
Also, he didn't have any money so I had to pay for it. Of course, he didn't say that until we were at the checkout.
This kind of behavior isn't attractive, shouldn't be fantasized about, and if you're in a relationship like this just know that you're worthy of love and respect and you can do so much better!!
10:18 has me deadass crying with laughter and I don't know why! 😂
Its so crazy to think this all started out as a Harry Styles fanfiction 😂 shouldve stayed that way imo
Hardin needs to see the Barbie movie and realize that he can't define himself by a woman.
4:00 4:05 Thank you, Alex, for saying this. This is especially true for parents who agree with "old school parenting" like spanking or hitting your kids when they throw a tantrum. I once saw a video of a parent who forced their kid to sleep on the patio for not being home by curfew, and the comments were agreeing with it, calling it "old school parenting," and I'm like, That's just trying to justify abuse. When a kid calls their parent out for their abuse, they will reply, I put clothes on your back, food in your stomach, ect., and I'm like, Yeah, that's what you are supposed to do when you decide to have a kid. Would you like a gold medal for not letting the kid you decided of your own free will to create die?
I don't agree with old school parenting, but I also don't agree with "New school parenting" or whatever you want to call, what's going on at the moment. Apparently it's really difficult to raise a Child the healthy way in this world. According to all the media etc. It's just sad what's going on everywhere
Yeah, cuz the new school parenting is going so well. If more kids got told no or got their asses beat when needed, they wouldn’t be such entitled little sh*t-stain “adults” they are today.
Props to you for sacrificing your life for our entertainment 🙌
04:00 it means a lot to hear alex say what he said about not owing your parents anything for sheltering and feeding you and offering nothing else. these are my circumstances and that's the exact argument my mother uses when me or my sister bring it up.
we aren't given emotional support, we aren't spoken to and i can't remember the last time my mother spent the night at home, and it's very validating hearing someone else say what my sister and i always do. makes me feel a little less crazy when my mother calls me ungrateful for being Kept Alive.
I’m surprised Alex hasn’t suffered from PTSD from watching these movies yet.
Alex is so fun to watch. I’ve been watching him all throughout college and today is my first day on my first job. I’m so glad I got to watch a new video before leaving for the day. Wish me luck!
I have never seen these but Alex's reaction is entertaining.
Him writing about her deepest insecurities and spinning it to him being the victim is so crazy. He’s actually insane and selfish 😅

You save us so much time at the cost of your sanity 😂
3:08 As someone who had no business reading these books on wattpad as they came out as a 12 year old - yeah that’s pretty much the whole series in a nutshell
This series is the perfect cautionary tale on why you should never date.
i know this is satire, but i once knew a guy EXACTLY like hardin personality-wise and oh my gosh it was so stressful trying to break off from the friendship. people like that are so exhausting and aren't worth your time, because usually they've got some sort of actual anger issue they need to work through first. if you know someone like this or are in a relationship with them, please do everything you can to get out of there. it's so exhausting, so mentally taxing, and can become dangerous very quickly.
I’ve never been so happy to watch a person’s brain melt. I saw the announcement for this movie and started smiling. I look forward to the After 5 review.
