Euphoria's Maddy - A New Kind of "Mean Girl" 

I discovered her from another one of your videos. i really enjoy these takes on euphoria!!

i love her take on this

im almost through s1 and the video spoiled me lol

When is season 3 coming

Like 2026

Yesss, I love watching her, she is an inspiration in the confidence department

Relatable!!

Yah I wanna act like her

I want yo have her confidence and be like her

TRUE

IKR.I felt bad for Cassie in that scene and in the next scene Maddy hugs her like a mother seeing her cry,makes me love her more.

She literally cares only for Cassie. I've never seen her give a shit about the others

​@@dharanisoundarapandian6587 not true. if you re-watch s2 you can see she also cares about: lexi (she gives her advice on being confident) kat (she helps cheer her up during her own birthday party, when kat was struggling to figure out what she truly wants) rue (she was worried about her relapsing in the bathroom scene & was the only one to hug her when rue came over to cassie's house after running away) even jules to an extent (they had a heart-to-heart in 2x02 when they went bowling with kat and ethan, even though they don't have many interactions together, so this one is a little iffy)

@@dharanisoundarapandian6587 did we watch the same show ?

@@dharanisoundarapandian6587 hello didnt you see the scene in this video talking to kat about her relationship

One thing I learned in life is, that you don't get popular by treating people like they're less than you. I used to think that, but I realised, that leaderfigures are not bullies but oftentime they're like mothers and fathers that look after their family and make sure no one gets left out. I never realised that I had become my own version of popular until my ex said to me "Oh you don't get it, I don't have as many friends as you and I'm not popular like you". I was since primary school under the impression that I'm the outcast that has to collect the other outcasts to have a support system. These people aren't my friends for popularity reasons, I do truly love my people and it's just funny how my ex was dismissive of all these friendships I've developed over the years like they don't carry any weight. These are the people that walked through thick and thin with me. There are so many because I didn't drop them the moment my life and circumstances changed for the better.

Rue sucks

@T S maybe you want to elaborate what you mean, because I am pretty certain about what he meant. Msybe there are other ways to interpret the statement, and I am interested in hearing that wnd exploring the possibilities, but I find it difficult to believe some stranger on the internet has more nuanced insight into the conversations they were never a part of, let alone to be the absolute beast to clarify things in a single sentence. You could have bothered to at least let me know why you think that,

@T S you completly misunderstand my point snd then try to educate me on the thing you misunderstood lol. If you want, you can continue this argument with yourself for me, I hope you win✌🏻people nowadays really think they said something by calling eachother insecure smh.

Her and Rues characters are the most consistent to me

Tbh there’s a lot of things that I admire about Maddy but I wonder why it is pretty much forgotten that she willingly and knowingly took part in imprisoning a young innocent man for the sake of her abusive bf., seeing that dude going to jail for doing nothing stressed me out a lot and tbh with the way Sam levinson’s writing is looking, the dude will probably be rotting in jail forever

@@Imokayluv fr it's sad that people completely ignored that part

@@Imokayluv yes, Maddy knew about the poor guy suffering. This should be one of consequences that Maddy will face in the next season apart from Nate and Cassie but we will see what Sam does

Can somebody please explain to me why this character is so special? First, she was introduced as a low life teenage girl dressing provocatively and getting wasted, then she was in a toxic relationship with a bad guy who was choking her, she probably had Stockholm syndrome in a way, then she was shown beating up and insulting other classmates, having sex with older men (multiple men), then she beat up her best friend in front of the whole school and some other things which I probably missed. A respectful girl wouldn't do this. Don't start a fight with me about Cassie deserving or not deserving what she got, I'm not talking about her. I'm just curious - there was barely anything special or good about Maddy, why is she so popular just because she is pretty and she is described as a bad b? She wasn't even smart, most of what she said in the show would be interesting to a teen fangirl, not a grown adult. -.- Her "confidence" quote is honest bs. You can only fake confidence for so long if you don't genuinely feel confident - eventually it becomes transparent. Especially if you get wasted, pretend to have sex in front of people and become aggressive towards other people. And her eyes - she looks high all the time lol ik it is trendy now but I hope it ends soon. Her voice , no offence to the actress (I honestly kinda like the actress), but the voice is 99% of the time the same intonation. There is a barely any emotion in her voice. 7:26 in the video is literally comparing a grown woman to a supposed to be teen girl, who thinks it is bada** to ruin a public business setting as a client. What? Lol irl if you break something you pay for it. Nobody would make this slide just like that. Update: I just read the previous replies an there is even more proof that Maddy sucks, seriously lol

She ruined an innocent persons life

Uhh did you forget it was nate who did that to tyler? And if you look at it in a different perspective, it was statutory rape, she was a minor and he was in his early 20s. Yes it wasn't "rape" in a sense you think it is, but by law it was still rape. She didn't know that nate would do that to tyler. If she knew it in the first place. she wouldn't say to nate that she blacked out. Y'all are quick to defend cassie that she's a victim of nate's actions. Maddie was also a victim of nate, the treatment that maddie got from nate was much more worse than what cassie experienced from him.

she was also so nice with Lexi! Literally like the bigger sister Lexi needed

@@unniebunny2551 it wasn't rape of any sort bc it was a college party and she lied about her age so it was neither statutory nor literal rape. she also lied about being raped claiming she passed out which is another disgusting thing to do. to top it off after Nate almost beat Tyler to death, she conspired with Nate to frame Tyler for the domestic assault he committed. You can like her character without lying about her being an innocent victim.

@@edithputhy4948 lying about your age doesn’t erase the statutory rape charge. If a minor sneaks into a club or bar and sleeps with an actual adult they will still be charged for statutory rape.

She did beat on Cassie a bit during that play though.

For me, it was when she babysat. I expected her to neglect her job and just exploit her employer. I'm very surprised that she's actually good and enjoying her job. Okay, she did snoop her employer's wardrobe, but at least she's really responsible.

@@Janeway1269 For trying to ruin Lexi's play and assaulting that poor actress.

@@apieceoflife2732 huh... Can't believe anyone with an ounce of critical thinking thinks the play is okay...It was such a revenge porn moment and I'm disapointed on how well received it was. Especially coming from Lexi that was never treated badly by Cassie. She let Lexi hang out with her friends all the time and yea they fight like regular siblings but to be mocked and caricaturized in front of the school and have your personal life on display like that without your consent by your own sister is fucked. I wouldn't call that actress "poor girl" after that carousel scene lets not pretend it wasn't malicious. News flash: Bullying the antagonist is still bullying🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

@Caliyah g she was literally talking about maddy in front of everybody on the stage obviously she would get mad

hjulien calloway from gossip girl

Blair wasnt blonde

Legally blonde too which literally had blonde in the title

What about letting an innocent person rot in jail? 🤔

wtf she accused an innocent dude of rape and got his ass beat almost to death. I'm a Latina who's experienced racism and I've never even thought about doing anything like that. girl, gtfo with this lame ass excuse for toxic behavour.

She was a victim trying to protect her abuser

@@carolinpurayidom4570 she also acused an inocent guy of rape

@@estefaniaboujon6830 That was also protecting her abuser. And she IS a victim but that really isn't enough of an excuse to be an accessory to perjury. Nate is ultimately who should be punished. And to Maddie's point, he is the one thing that undermines her confidence. That tends to happen when you let one person mean so much to you that their anger or disapproval shakes you. But ultimately she used someone, and then lied, putting that innocent guy in prison while her abusive boyfriend walks around free.

Cassie is the mean girl of the story guys

​@@emmaelson6770 YES! That's I was thinking

@@angelesmailenrodasguassard3536 Cassie sucks

But that’s your experience the mean girl stereotype doesn’t come from no where. I know growing up in a small town the popular kids in general were mean and petty. And I personally have never seen a shy person hate on anyone for having confidence 🙄 they’re just trying to survive

@@Las645 Same here, only that I'm from a big city. The popular girls in my school were vicious bullies, very stereotypical too - they even enjoyed being mean. Always taking out their anger and insecurities on weaker, less confident students (including their own friends), constantly humiliating and degrading others to feel better about themselves.

girl bye idk what kind of disney channel movie you grew in but people KNEW that the popular girls were mean and for good reason. not bc "pEOpLE wErE jeAloUS" but bc these girls loved putting people down to feel better about themselves. SOME of us had the regina George in our school

@@Las645 im shy and sometimes I do hate on people for that. I want to stop

Yeah, Maddy encouraged and supported the less popular girls like Lexi and Kat. She was supportive to other girls and showed she cared about people and would only be rude to people who deserved it or did something to hurt her first.

I feel like this would be so generic

Yeah and that is why she is not Regina from Mean girls but they may not be close know her very but at least they aren’t enemies

*pageant

One of the first thing we are told about Maddy "for as long as she could remembered, people loved her". Her parents seem fine enough, but they didn't get along and fought a lot (mentioned in Lexi's play). That probably affected their relationship with Maddy and distorted her views of relationship. Also; her dad being unemployed and her mother doing other people's nails must have influenced her in wanting a more fancy lifestyle (something Nate can provide)

Fck this is so true and I hate it because people like me have been hurt so bad

@@itscesarbtch3451 What happened to you? (If you don’t mind me asking)

@@itscesarbtch3451 And always remember that there’s someone out there who loves you and cares about you (even if you don’t personally know them (they neither you)) you are loved and valued always 💕💕💕💕

Maddy*

i keep wondering what could they possibly give her in s3 though??

her storyline is that she comes to realize she's better without nate so I mean

"It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti hero"

@@cici.ngxenge Haha

Not only does Regina clearly have an ED but her family life is weird too, and she forces herself to date a guy she doesn't really love. She may be manipulative and a bad influence, but she has feelings as well... All in all Regina is a pretty complex character for a 2000s show that was meant for teen girls lol 💖

@ Nįkė Mārajé What evidence that she has an ED?

@@okkelly6207 being overly obsessed with her weight always trying to loose weight trying different diets all the time not feeling good enough if she isn’t a size 5 or smaller maybe not your typical eating disorder but definitely body dysmorphia i have a similar problem

@@nikemaraje5 exactly why was she dating Aeron when she's attracted to somebody else? I've always wondered but could never figure it out

Like yeah they should have toned it down there, there was no point of undermining Regina's problems to shed more light on Maddie

'Psychotic king crustlord' lmao

No entendí nada. La puntuación existe, mija!

THANK YOU!!!

@@ewoma8234 No. That was Nate's party. Nate is a high school student.

@@ewoma8234 and a minor can lie about their age every day and still the person that's over 18 will be punished due to statutory rape. Regardless if the minor lied about their age and consented (which they can't).

Wait he did??

Lol Cassie fans have this bs logic handy.

The popular girls in my high school were all really lovely people. Yes, also very attractive, but they were popular because they were able to get along with everyone and everyone legitimately liked them. I never related to the mean girl Queen Bee, because that sure wasn't what I'd seen growing up.

🍯

Can't relate. The popular girls (and boys) in my school were vicious bullies - VERY stereotypical too; tearing people down and even humiliating their less "popular" friends to feel better about themselves. I was pretty shocked when I saw on the show that Maddy wasn't actually a bully.

@@Maca.180 Can't relate. My school has sooo many students that there was never a popular group, ever.

I'm her age and people think I'm 20

Omg not agaaaain…she literally looks her age

@@jjjiiddppeew1810 thank youuu, I really wonder why people think 30s mean you lose your youthfulness

Geez im 30 and still get carded yall 30 is not old . You could live another 30 years and still can't retire 🤣

30 is not old between 25 and 30 just 5 years difference. nothing can really change in appearance in just 5 years is 25 old for u too?

Mean girl is another phrase for the “popular girl”

Doesn’t she sleep around to though kinda seems like projection

Didn’t she hook up with some random dude in the pool at McKay’s party to get back at Nate, and apparently blacked out? She also hooked up with other guys as well and they literally showed how many guys she hooked up with. That’s not a good thing, especially since she could’ve gotten in troubled for that, or pregnant…..Maddy’s no saint either. Yes Cassie was wrong, however…..Nate and Cassie were both in the wrong, and Nate should’ve known better than to hook up with his ex girlfriend’s best friend, and to manipulate her since he did in fact manipulate Cassie because he knew she was easy to trick. However….it’s important to remember that nobody in Euphoria is innocent….they’ve all done some bad shit.

@@876LND Cassie is both

“Victim” but sent a guy to prison… please

Yeah, i feel like the betrayal of cassie to maddy in season 2 overshadowed all the actually shitty behavior she had in season 1

Exactly it seems everybody wants to forget about it or find a way to make her look like the victim

@@halimaayomide6873 .... that's cause she is literally a victim of domestic violence wtf

No one has forgotten just keep in mind she's a teen and Nate made her do it. Abusive relationships don't just hurt you they hurt others around you sometimes

That kind of why I don't really care about her happiness. The way she used Tyler to punish Nate and then say she drunk to get Nate to let it go. Jules even though she was blackmailed she showed remorse over it with Maddie she just went on with her toxic relationship without a care in the world.

I would argue that Rue is both for the mental health aspect and sapphics (I'm both).

Said everyone who doesn't understand Cassie. Cassie is most definitely also for the women.

don’t like that u said cassie is for the boys

nah every girl in this show is written for girls. i am not a girl, i am nonbinary but still i found myself relating to lexi and season 1 kat a lot

@@shrutikaanand7587 yes, her character is very relatable to women but it's written more for alluring to the male gaze. Her nube scenes all appeal to the men.

Exactly.She faced Racism since childhood and didn't have good parents around to protect her.She had to protect herself anyhow she could to make her future school experience not terrible.

i couldnt watch episodes with rue/ but couldnt wait for maddie's episodes

i mean "loyal" is debatable

For Cassie stans🤡

It brings in the views. I'd rather a Euphoria video over a Kardashian one any day

Their obsession with Sex and the City is WAY worse tho

Hahahaha

If you payed attention you’d know that’s not possible lmao when they introduced her character they made it clear that she didn’t give a fuck about school or working “ she wanted to do absolutely nothing”

@@Las645 That doesn't necessary mean she's not good at school. I once met a girl at a college admitted students event who had also gotten into MIT. When I asked her what she wanted to study, she said she was really only interested in finding a husband.
