Elektra's Best Reads For Filth | Pose | FX
/ fxnetworks - บันเทิง
A lot of people like to criticize Dominique Jackson's acting on the show for not showing enough range, but they fail to realize that her character is based off of how house mothers were back then. Regal, dignified and hardly bats an eye but still able to help others in time of need. She's a lovely actress and deserves every bit of praise in life
👏👏👏👏👏
Exactly. I know Paris is Burning has its fair share of controversies but despite that, it's still firmly on the Essential Viewing list. Dorian Corey could break you and your shortcomings down to the atomic level so elegantly and smoothly that you wouldn't even realize that she just read the absolute dogsh*t outta you until the next day if you were lucky. The next week if you were stupid. 😆🏳️🌈🎉
People who critize her acting clearly haven't ever had to learn that type of dialogue in such a short time span. She speaks every word as if it was coming out of her brain right that second, she's a great actress.
I kind of feel like Elektra is kind of always “acting”. Putting up a front and being outspoken to hide her insecurities. I think Dominique portrays that very well
Not to mention she’s very gracious and humble in person. The acting was phenomenal… those who think otherwise don’t know the culture 🤷🏾♂️
“Clam chowder and shallow conversations” is what always gets me.
No what gets me is once she finishes reading her she shoos her away like “run along now that I’ve decimated your entire ancestry”. 🤣🤣💀💀😂😂
"before your clam chowder gets you" is a great continuity of that line.
"Go get your clam chowder before the clam chowder gets you"
ICOOOOONNNN
I loved how although she had small issues with all the girls, but when they were together she defended them fiercely 🗡like any Mother would! Epic!! 🏆👑💐
It’s the fact that Billy Porter was the only actor from this show to get awarded…no other actors were recognized for their talent
I don't know if she's freestyle dissin' dropping bars or speaking facts, but I do know that one conversation with her would leave me crying
Girl, I'd be crying, sobbing, heaving and shaking like a scared Chihuahua. 100%🤣👌
What you just described is the definition of reading. Its an insult, but with class; something personal, and undeniable, and more often than not, eloquently spoken. Calling out someones flaws in the cattiest way possible.
It wouldn’t be reading if it didn’t. It’s taking the darkest parts they see in you and bringing them to light, calling out your deepest flaws in a way that cannot be disputed. They may be rude af, but you can’t say they weren’t spitting facts.
🤣🤣🤣
How does she have any friends she is mean as hell
I think there is a handful of people who wish they could read like Elektra.
A handful or more than a handful? 😂😂😂
Like Marlo from RHOA 🤣🤣🤣
Me
Yesss
I am one of them
“you two are about as fierce as my morning cornflakes” 😩😂😂im so mad this show ended
I reached that scene just as I read this comment 💀
Same
Did she say cornflakes? I thought she was saying coffee really weirdly.
@@gurglequeen433 lol im hoping she said cornflakes 😭😭that’s what I heard
I came across this a few weeks ago, and I'm hooked on this. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elektra being polite to the bridal shop owner before he offends, then reading him for filth felt like a moment of class and respect before standing up for herself
Yea I felt like that was a warning shot for him to show some sort of humanity before she read him up one side and down the other
Yes, she was so humble to that man. But after......
Getting a read from Elektra would be an honor
Facts
An honour, indeed.. And at the same time, it will humble you. Never mess with this gal! Hahahaha
I think I'd just crumble and blow away😰
she's destroy me and I would thank her
You will be shattered to dust before you could even say thanks to the madame herself
I love Elektra’s development and how they really flushed out her story more with flashbacks in the last season. I cried sooo many times
same!
same!! i laugh when she roast those awful people
I know, the series just got better and better every episode, and that’s not usually the case. It was epic.
Last season got me 😭
I felt bad for her when she went to visit her mother
**lubricate** 😂😂😂 gets me every time
My fave scene x
It's saddening she was ignored by the Emmys. Globes.
@Akan Ledger, but not surprising. For years, I always felt that awards shows were ignoring some of the best possible recipients. I never truly realized how much "whitewashing" goes on in Hollywood until the hashtag #whitewashing came on the scene.
Although I have not watched any awards shows for more than a decade, I knew instinctively that Hollywood would not learn its lesson, and I still see so many new movies and TV shows with almost exclusively white casts or white leads.
The fact that there are people who go well out of their way to ignore the fact that not everyone is white, AND, male, AND, heterosexual, AND Christian, as in, ALL FOUR boxes, amazes me.
Because it feels more like a caricature than a real person.
She's chewing more scenery than goats.
THIS. I was rooting so hard for Mj Rodriguez. They killed in the last season, and especially in the scenes up to and after Pray Tell died. The scream she let out when Ricky told her Pray was dead, my god. I ugly cried the whole time. That wasn't acting. That was real life experience vocalized.
cause the acting is awful? the writing is what makes the scene, not her performance 😂
She was ignored because she can’t act.
"Pose" did so much to educate me about this world, and about trans* rights and history. (I was especially impacted by that one episode where Blanca tries to sit in a gay bar and then they violently kick her out because she didn't look like a cisgender male. It was very shameful, though eye-opening.) Before this show I was so ignorant. But because it filled a blind spot I had, this show quickly became one of my faves. I especially loved Elektra and her reads. Yes, she seemed a bit wooden when it came to her acting. But her reads--this is where she shined brightest! :D
Hey. I just wanted to say as a trans & queer person- it is incredibly brave to explain your previous perception and talk about how this show has helped. I am incredibly glad that your mind has opened more to see and love more beauty in the world. Thank you ♥️
If ppl understand what hrt actually does and how it makes u a man Or woman when they transition. Shows like this wouldn’t have to be needed.
@@junipersinclair2602 Couldn’t have worded it any better. ☺️
Same.
My dad was the same way for sometime he said when he was younger. I'm bisexual and he told me he'd walk me down the isle no matter who I marry. He watches LGBTQ+ shows with me and actually enjoys them. Pose is one of his favorites and he was so upset when he found out it was the last season. Thank you community. ❤💚💙
It always bugs me with the last clip that they never show the part where she gets her mob connections to break into the store and steal ALL the wedding dresses. What made Elektra.. well.. electrifying is half the time it was just reads, the other half it was a warning that she was coming for you and gunna cut your wigs.
Right I was waiting on it
Pose should return ! I greatly enjoyed it !
I’d have settled for the associate defiantly struttin’ outta the store.
Oh and baby she came and delivered
Or the part where the other salesman stuck up for his community by quitting. LOVED that part
The read she gave Blanca was so brutal I wanted to cry 😢
The colorism really undermines the brilliance of the show IMO. The ways Elektra & Blanca were pitted against one another could be very realistic but also very flat when it could've been written more subtly & complex. I feel so many happy endings (however temporary) went to lighter skinned characters. Yes, tragedy was switched up but less stinginess with joy is all I'd ask.
when Elektra takes a sip in that champagne glass, you better run for your life or you'll be preparing your own funeral.
@Elijah Sackville-Glűcksburg (sorry, I could not find the correct "u" for your surname on my character map), to your comment I reply that even someone with half a brain would not dare make any sudden moves in the presence of the GODDESS known as Elektra Abundance. Indeed, any long piece of glass can become a weapon right quick!
Pose should’ve gotten a season 4 and 5 but I’m satisfied with the ending 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ikr
They rush through 1994-1998 in one season. they coulda gave it 4 more episodes
Producers said that they felt the story had been told and they didn't want to ruin the ballroom legacy. However, MJ Rodriguez said she thinks it was canceled due to COVID LOL....So IDK which is the truth haha but yes I WISH we had more seasons!!!
@@Teebee407 at least give us Damon resolving issues wuth his parents and perhaps more Asian representing
@@frankieseward8667 unfortunately for many during that time AND even now, there is no resolve. Many kids are kicked out and never reach a resolve. I can understand the inclusion, but to my knowledge there weren't many Asians in the ballroom scene in 1970-90s NY
She may have been the queen of reads, but praytell was the Goddess. That failed dinner table intervention which he turned into a read bloodbath was a killer.
i know rightttt
Yesss he read them to the gawds in that episode!
Yesss gawd he dropoed too many bombs
Yes! 😂😂😂 “Queen of the Nile?” NO! Aging granny with dusty furs and an empty bed.” LOVE LOVE PRAYTELL
The bridal shop salesman clutching his invisible pearls as Elektra is gores off on the bridal shop owner gets me everything 😂 😂😂
Elektra reads like Maya Angelou on Inauguration Day.
Maya is untouchable. The nerve...
Elektra was rough in the beginning but as the show went on I really grew to love her
It’s the ENUNCIATION for me 😳🥇
I love how she so classy when reading them, it's nice she stand up for herself as well.
The writers are brilliant and Dominique’s delivery is so brilliant
Lulu always has the best unbothered face when a reading is occurring...01:32
By that point, she was used to it.
And 4:24
You just know that when Elektra drinks her drink, you're in trouble! 😆😆
"You think you're on the road to being legends but you couldn't make it from here to the door without me pointing the way." 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
"I have the right to show my colors..."
Come through Crystal Labeija
This the comment I was looking for ,
@@seatoncole84Me too!
The last scene with that wee little man in the bridal shop.....PRICELESS!!!!
I can’t get over papi’s face when Electra reads Candy and Lulu🤣🤣
_Attention Producers of RuPaul's Drag Race:_ Now that you are FINALLY doing spoken word lip synchs, HERE is your next inspo.
OMG yes please!!
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Amen !
RuDrawl"s drag race is repetitive and boring. Using anything from Pose would do it the greatest dishonour
👏👏👏
Elektra face in the bridal scene when he said real women had me dead😂😂😂
Please give Electra her own show. We need more readings
Truth
Wait you mean she wasn't the main character???
“You’re not ready - you’re a second banana”
I love how she just makes up insults but makes them WORK
The one who carried the show and still is THE SHOW!!!!
6:12 is the best way to insult a straight man. Of all her reads, I think this has a lot of impact.
she's a legend. she's a star. she's an icon.
And she is the moment
"You are not on my level"
Gives me Naomi Campbell vibes
Oh my...I MISS this show and miss her SO much!!
I love the crowd going "wooahh." "DAYUUMM" when elektra read candy and lulu
just adds so much flair to it
The first and last scene made me watch the series and I don't regret it, its educational, insipiring and emotional. Season 3 made me cry a lot and I love how they portray the lives of trans and queer people in the 80's and 90's and their struggles and fight with HIV and AIDS. I hope they make more like this series in the future and I want a season 4 or a spin off but Im satisfied with the ending. Great job to the actors, director and staffs, its a masterpiece and now my favorite series.
I just wish they didn’t have Pray die🥲…Love Billy Porter 💜
That first read will ALWAYS be iconic. It was so satisfying.
Elektra never disappoints !
mmmmmmmm what
@@SamW231 having trouble reading their comment?
@@DarlingMissDarling never failed to disappoint would mean she always disappoints hahaha :(
@@SamW231 omg, of _course_ I'd forget to put the wink emoji at the end of my original reply to you! I was trying for a "wink and a nudge" type thing since I saw that double negative too! A full 'oops' on my end to add to the OP's, I suppose. At least I stayed in theme? 🤣🤣🤷🏽♀️
NEVERRRRR
The first and last were the best. Razor sharp while maintaining grace. The others had the grace of a wood chipper
And the savagery of one too 🫰 🫰🫰
The way she turned on the neighbor was hilarious though 🤣🤣🤣 fully me waiting for them to strike first and then unleashing
This show has done so much for me in ways I can’t even express
I love how she reads people 😂. It's golden!!!
At first she rubbed me the wrong way, but by the end of the series I was in love with her like everyone else. I mean, she was nasty and terrible to people, but I was relieved that toward the end she had grown more heart and mellowed out after coming into her own.
Imagine Elektra, Santana Lopez and Chanel Oberlin in one table lmao 🤣
The trifecta
Not Chanel Oberlin😭😭😭
Best show ever. People who haven't seen it are totally missing out horribly. God bless all involved 🥰♥️🙏
LMAO! Look at the guy in the background clutching his pearls when Elektra was reading the manager in the clothing store.
“Before the clam chowder gets you.”😭😂
0:00 : Elektra Reads a Transphobe
2:13 : Elektra Reads a Neighbor
3:31 : Elektra Reads Candy & Lulu
4:51 : Elektra Reads the Salesperson/Manager
Don't forget Blanca and the Evangelistas
ty
@@rogueryder3285it js said the dinner table
One of the best parts of Pose is these loser phobes getting read to sad pieces by Queen Elektra. 🙌🙌🙌
Man that bridal shop owner could've been spared. Elektra was giving him a second chance with that "you just have to accept our money," line
i would watch elektra just reading people as a tv show again and again
The second scene is what got me to watch this show. Love it.
I'm behind in watching Pose (halfway through season 3; 11/2022) but, found the saddest part of Elektra's story was when her mother kicked her out of the house. I felt for her...however, it helped me understand her rise to the top. Brava Elektra!
One thing I couldn’t stand about Elektra was that she loved to tear people down. Sometimes the reads would b well deserved but most of the time she just said really nasty ugly disgusting things as a so-called mother to her children.
Sometimes it’s warranted especially when she felt betrayed.
No ....too severe. She needs Lexapro
calling blanca a beast was way overboard
thats the entire point though. that was her insecurity - people leaving her, or doing better than her. its a serious insecurity which was played out in a very well portrayed way. Towards the end, you could see she was softer on her girls, and she started to show more love, openly. She started to not care as much if someone was doing better than her, and focused on making other people feel better. thats her character arc. She always loved her girls and the functions, but her demon was that she needed to win to feel validated as a success, she needed "real men" to feel validated as a woman, and she needed her girls to validate she is loved.
thats how i read it anyway
Back in the day I knew many Trans Women who who read the eyes out of your head and who were even more viscious than Dominique. These were girls who carried hatchets, hammers, and guns in their purses. The times were VERY different and the Dolls protected themselves any way they could. Her reads are accurate for the time!
THE best series to grace our screens in YEARS!
ITS HER STOPPING TO DRINK WATER AND GO BACK TO READING THAT HO FOR ME✅🤣🤣🤣
Elektra made this show PERFECTION!!! A real actor 😃
Every time I see a video of Electra I want to rewatch the series and then I remember that I'm going to cry like a baby at every single episode.
Elektra is truly a legend.
I can't believe you left "it's my new signature move" scene out omg the audacity 🤣🤣 great video !!
I definitely just thought that! That was awesome lol
Elektra not only read you to filth but built the fliggin’ library!
Whenever Elektra drinks before the read, we know she’s gonna kill it. 😅
ALL casts of POSE did an amazing job they need a new show coming ❤️
Electra was dead on with her reads I miss pose so much as a show please Ryan Murphy bring it back for season 4 and 5
When pose was ending there was a number/hotline you could call where Elektra would give you advice. It was Covid, I was a senior in high school and I was also struggling with a few things in my social life…but hearing her messages basically saying “everything would be alright.” Filled me with so much strength.
Thank you mother Elektra
The club scene & hotel restaurant scene are my favsss 😂😂😂 truly iconic character I LOVE her this show deserved more seasons mann
This show should have gone on way longer than 2 seasons.
Loved it so much.
I love her!! No matter what she went through she never let it get her down about herself at all.
Season 2 episode 9, Girls Trip was my all-time favorite episode and Elektra is my all time favorite character on Pose and should've won an Emmy for her roll on Pose.
Elektra should go to Congress and read the GOP. 😮😂
Thank you for this video. I look forward to viewing it over and over again. 👍🏽😉
Elektra's read for Candy and Lulu was PEAK WRITING. best righteous fury monologue since Designing Women XD
Absolutely divine. Long live the POSE Queen⭐️
Yeessssss, she slays just as good as when I watched all three seasons on Hulu!! Go queen 👑❤️✨!!!
“ watch your neck” 😂😂😂😂She can act 🎭🎭🎭❤️
I was done when she said RUN home Wonder Bread lmfao, then the flipping of the table GURRL!!
Love her & the whole show bring them back, bring them back 😢😢😢😢
One of my Favorite Personal Quotes is 'A Woman's Got To Know How To Be A B*tch In This World To Survive!'
I love when she reads that baldman😂😂
I loved this. Please bring back
Her and Julia Sugarbaker {Designing Women} would scorch the earth with such elegance and verbiage. Reading anyone and everyone to filth and then pristine. Only to then have them fall apart in their after-burn. My God her tongue is lethal! 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂🤣❤️
Happy Pride y’all 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈👨❤️💋👨👩❤️👩👩❤️💋👩👨❤️👨
Happy Juneteenth also
I was so sad when this show ended! I was addicted! I hope theres more from these actors because theyre all so phenomenal!
That b is my favorite character in the show. Respect! And Kudos to Dominique too for portraying.
Realness 💯 Elektra exemplified Reading!!! THE Queen 👸🏾 Mother!
When she called Blanca a beast my immediate reaction was Eileen from Housewives of Beverly Hills saying how dare you lol
I love Pose so much I wish I could erase the memory of watching it out of my head just so I can watch it again!
And as hard as Elektra was, she LOVED her Blanca!
One of the best characters made for a tv series in a long time. She is so good in this series. The Queen of Reads!!
The country club and the bridal shop are my two favorite Elektra reads.
Elektra is savage
Omg I forgot how petty she was in the first season!!! I love her development and how much she takes care of her sisters in the 3rd season
"A dinner of cat meat and prison grade toilet wine." 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was actually canned meat
For someone who is unlikely to do any chores Elektra sure can clear a table
The one at the restaurant and the last one were my favorites. Get em gurl.
The READS ARE EVERYTHING......
OMG I love Dominique !
Clear ya throat mmhm lubricate sent me 😂
Watched this so many times and it still makes me laugh so much. You tell em girl ☝️
Wonderful show I enjoy it every time. Just fabulous. What a class!!! Love you pretty Ladies ❤❤❤❤
Pose was the best show in history and it sucks they end it on such a high note, but Elektra will always be my favorite.
