I HATE HARDIN *After 3 Commentary* 

Hardin is the worst thing that ever happened to Tessa..

They’re trying to guilt her into staying with him by making him extra pitiful and as if she owes him anything

EXCLAMATION SIS

Bro frr even the people around her know Hardin ain't it 😂

It's also such a cheap move from the writers (book or script I don't know, I didn't read the book) to let someone else make such a statement for the audience. "hey, in case you're wondering, there is actually ONE good thing about this relationship, and that is: Tessa is good for Hardin. You may not have noticed because he is acting like a douchebag all the time, and because he doesn't show much depth in this movie, but as someone who has known him for years, i will just give you this insight into his character and feelings. you're welcome!"

RIGHT LIKE DID MY BOY DIRTY

Especially the fact that, Harry is constantly labeled as a womanizer and in reality he's a sweetheart 💀💀

Same I was in a similar abusive relationship and I was miserable, I was so much happier when I got out of it

@@milamijalkovic4624 I'm glad you got out!! Abuse is no joke. When I left my relationship, It was like a heavy weight was lifted off my shoulders. Abuse like that is soul crushing.

i’m happy you got out

Same, it worries me so much that these Things are romanticised in Media so much ...

I hope you’re doing better now, I’m sorry you had to go through that

We all did for a split second.

Unfortunately the 11 YOs the movie is aimed at aren’t able to tell that this type of relationship is toxic AF because “true wuv conquers all”. You know, I’d be far more comfortable with these movies being made if like.. there was any actual commentary on how this relationship is toxic and abusive.

@@mkwhite5054 totally agree. I have no clue how anyone can be apart of this movie without even considering what they're doing

@@lmaster0076 I understand the actors can’t come out and like SAY it’s garbage but damn, the production company, the directors, the writer? None of them see an issue with it and on that same subject, if they did why did they make this trash him to begin with?

😩🤣🤣

lol it’s not at all about the waiter. It’s about the waiter representing Hardin’s deepest fear. Losing another woman in his life. To him, he has to protect and control Tess to feel a sense of intimacy and commitment.

@@pbower4378 Then he has a problem and he should go to therapy.

He's acting like Tessa has Freddy Krueger type powers where instead of killing people in their dreams she goes into guy's dreams and bangs them. Then Hardin treats him dreaming about her cheating on him like she's cheating in real life.

@@pilar8323 But then Haridn's therapist will need a therapist after hearing Hardin wangsting.

@@pbower4378 no his deepest fear is not losing another woman It’s Tessa sleeping with another guy that’s not him.

There’s a major difference between walking away when mad as to not hurt your partner during a hard talk, and what Hardin does. Good god he needs to stop

Hardin after Tessa was honest because he asked her to be: And I took that personally

This does a disservice to toddlers, who have more grace and decorum in their pudgy little fingers than Hardin does in his whole body.

True

True and true 🤓 😂🤣

I’m literally mentally not amazing but I still wouldn’t go near Hardin😂 he’s so annoying and mopey, no girl actually wants a ‘Hardin’ 😂

Well The afternators do 😗🤣 @@anyaherring5363

@@anyaherring5363 The way he acts he needs to be put down.

Same. And it's not just them. Everyone in this movies and books are so toxic. Like, is there any decent character? Well, Trevor is nice I guess. But I don't know. I don't trust any of the characters.

I've literally had a happier and healthier relationship with a carton of milk in my refrigerator

literally

god they’re so terrible

@@linanafie8571 how long did it last, though, cuz milk has a rather short lifespan, even if put in a refrigerator :(

I honestly thought that's what the first movie was supposed to be initially.

@@user-po3nr7ez3n he does have that imposing, threatening energy down pat.

Yeah it would only be just one movie not a series

that would be so genius, it would first be like romantic movie and at the end it would be horror movie when Tessa has to escape Fom Harden...

We read something similar in high school in class and let me tell you I still hated it

“The only worse love story than twilight”

Exactly ☠️

@V. after , 356 days , fifty shades of Grey are the only worst love stories than twilight

​@@lumityviktuuristanartist4100 funny because 50 shades is literally a twilight fanfic

I would imagine it being very similar to the scene in 50 Shades Freed when Ana tells Christian she’s pregnant and he throws a temper tantrum.

I actually read the last book when I was in sixth grade and they do have a kid or a few I think and he’s a devoted father for some reason I don’t know, seems like bs 🏃‍♀️

He would be the type to get jealous that she's giving too much attention to the child

Yea we would see him pouting and confront Tessa with that look on his face

I honestly agree. My step dad is similar behavior wise to Hardin and I can tell you he gets jealous a lot whenever my mom pays attention to me.

I'd call it a magnificent sight 😌

Big wurd. Gud job.

Raw, untamed power

Hardin has got to be the most unlikable main character in a romance movie I've ever seen.

Absolutely

Girl run

Oh no….oh no. Run. Run away very fast.

I’ve never heard ANYONE say that in my entire life and I’m an AFTERNATOR. Like wooooow that’s sad

@@TaintedHeart247 omg hahaha, believe me I wish I hadn’t either, you should’ve seen my face

What? 🤣 run!

Same same but I WAS dating💀 my daddy issues + content like this kept me in my comphet bubble for a while. We’ve gone to therapy n come out since then🎉

It's sad that more teens are being raised on stories like this and they won't realise the harm in it until they're well into adulthood. Some might never even realise until it's too late

THIS is the problem with this disgusting genre. Telling young impressionable teens (especially those who are already dealing with life and mental issues) that relationships like this are okay because “relationships are complicated.” They won’t know the truth until they see the bigger picture as an adult, and by then, they may have already made terrible mistakes that can never be undone. Or worse, they never really wake up from this mindset… And it always irks me how they throw so many sex scenes because they know that’s what these teens want. Honestly, aside from sex, what else is there in this godforsaken relationship!?

“Not about love, but about control” is a great way of putting it. And I had the misfortune to be dating during that time for me… really toxic stuff

@@minisn3066 we can only hope the last movie will end this terrible relationship and bring to light that it's abusive and unhealthy. that's the only way this series could work in an actually beneficial way. but i doubt it will - i think the writer has some unresolved issues and thinks this is what love is. very sad. i appreciate commentary and review channels going in depth about why the movies are problematic, but unfortunately i'm pretty sure at least some of the fans will be brainwashed into thinking relationships like this are okay.

@Kristian Alexis it’s like Riverdale it just won’t end

@@springs4flowers good news, it’s ending😂

What the fuck?? Nooo

Expect the fourth movie will probably break that rule

@Ellie Reed Because she doesn't have em with him

Hardin-spawn are capable of burdening any ol’ uterus. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no version of this fictional universe in which Hardin _doesn’t_ cheat on Tessa. (Shocking, to be sure. Not least because he “totally” seems like the strictly monogamous type)

You're goddman right!

@reading_and_hiding the film isn’t real and her statement is about the film which again isn’t real. so don’t take what the op person said to heart because i doubt they would say such a thing to a person in real life

To be fair this film’s recasts were actually to do with Covid. Those actors couldn’t fly to Bulgaria where it was filmed. But lol yeah I’d be embarrassed.

😩🤣🤣

@@carys7417 why was it filmed in Bulgaria?

@@imibee5184 less COVID cases than in the us

OMGGG?! Is that the Mentalist?!? Said from the one and only Cho? Omg I love that show!

@@almudenamarbandl2898 😂😂 yesss

Honestly 🤣🤣😭 I think only Hardin and Tessa are the same and that's probably because they can't get out of their contracts 🙃

i hate that i know why (they had to film in Bulgaria because of covid) i want those movies GOOOOOOONE 😭

yeah they recast because of covid, so they could keep shooting in europe.

Also I don't think Selma's health condition is allowing her to continue acting

when i saw my man Bill Compton i said i know you fuckn lying.

maybe it's the script?

Bailee Madison's accent in Just Go With It sounds more believable that this dudes actual accent.

If you’re British (specifically English)it’s probs because he speaks like he’s on road which just sounds forced

I believe they told him to lower his pitch so it comes across as forced. Honestly I bet his natural accent would have worked just fine

@@TheWhiteDeer right that’s exactly what guys on “road” do. Deepen their voices and don’t pronounce certain letters. No wonder it sounds forced. Definitely should’ve just let him speak how he usually does

lmaoo they had to bc the one who played tessas mom has cancer, the one who was gunna play vances wife got pregnant lmao

lmaoooo

@@Sheridan-ef6bu I was going to make a joke about how they escape this franchise, but a cancer is not funny, I hope she'll be okay.

@@Sheridan-ef6bu oh no that sucks

@@tiffanykim2773 it rlly does 🥺 I was so sad that she couldn’t play the role again

...her what?

I agree that the bad boy trope is harmful, but I think you’re giving Stephanie Meyer a little too much credit lol-I don’t think she created the trope. She certainly utilized it liberally and could even be said to have been the catalyst for a certain type of “supernatural emotional bad boy” (or just bringing about a new wave of the trope in general-seeing as ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ and ‘After’ aren’t supernatural, but are direct results of Twilight) but the “bad boy” trope existed long before Twilight ever did.

Fr like people who like Penelope doughlash needa stop reading and get some counseling if 😬

@@amelia3146 exactly in movies in 90's or 80's

Yessssss!!!!!! Preach. Because people say you can’t control what people wanna write and watch, but the impact is that these medias influence young girls, and in the back of their heads they’re fantasizing about toxic man boys

It's a trend now. And everytime they make a new movie or show, the toxicity gets worse.

and how much jacob elordi hates kissing booth 😭

I really hope he does because his character is so shitty

@cb8201 Damn we found a love story that's not better than Twilight,

@@irine_elle At long last 🙏

Because toxic bs gets attention

it's hard to do good books justice on film, and it takes someone very talented. I think these writer's realize that it's out of their league

Because teenage girls like steamy toxic relationship and not a stories about girls fighting dragons. There you go

@@crestfire8008 speak for urself!!

Plot twist: she actually a hater 😂 I also forgot it was about Harry styles

Yeah the whole “Harry Styles bad boy” used in a story narrative was so weird to me, and I would know, I was a directioner at the time. I remember finding dozens of fanfiction that depicted Harry as the bad boy type and/or serial dater and it always rubbed me the wrong way, especially in real life where the media thought that’s who Harry actually was

I was never a dirsctioner so I may be wrong but didn't Harry styles get this image of a bad boy heartbreaker cause he dated and broke up a lot back in one direction peak days? 🤔

@@onlyhousestarklivesmatter no he wasn’t ever labeled as the bad boy more of the “womanizer” the “bad boy” label went to Zayn

@@zzdreams66 true

To be honest the After series is nothing more than a parade of red flags.

@@radhiadeedou8286 that's how you know a 15 year old wrote this lol. or someone whose never been to college or had a job. You don't just get a job as a freshman like that. Especially not something that requires you to go to meetings or know your boss. It'll be extremely low level, if you manage anything at all. It's funny she moved out in the earlier movie which means she stayed in the dorm for not even a semester probably. And the tuition thing...it's not easy to pay ur tuition especially with any job you can get as a freshman. i wonder if she had aid, and if so that aid is given to her based on the fact that she's a dependent on her mom. But wattpad writers always magically give people full ride scholarships. Or make the magically rich boyfriend somehow grant her a job she's not even qualified for. god. I hate wattpad.

@@Monicalia hahahaha bestie! i don't know how to tell you this!!

@@malena6539 I know I already know the answer, but like a piece of me is hoping that it wasn't author's intention or sum T_T

Wattpad comment sections really don‘t hold back

And also she’s basic and toxic too, but not as harmful because her toxicity doesn’t always to violence. Tessa needs to get a personality and get busy with herself and maybe then she’ll see how much of a bitch hardin is, everytime they split up, she’s like going down that good road of building herself, but goes back immediately to being basic and toxic everytime for some reason.

So... Daddy issues? What about Hardin makes people go "Daddy!"?

@@myunwantedopinion7278 more like he's terrible and that's kinda the sort of stuff daddy did

@@myunwantedopinion7278 all early relationships can affect how you form them later on, especially a big one like a parental relationship that young. it also shows how her mom likely chose bad partners and what they were used to putting up with for multiple reasons. the bs tolerance meter is higher than other healthy individuals. it's not uncommon for kids to follow their parents' habits subconsciously. it would be a bit more interesting, if not very cliche, to explore that part of Tessa but her and her trash bf are both the worst so I think ending it would be better and finally send a healthy message after the toxicity that the audience had to endure. her having no/a poor relationship with a parent that left them like that, it makes sense that she'd be more likely than others to put up with poor behaviour from others regardless of the type of relationship, but also that she doesn't have a great example to model or compare with a healthy partner in a romantic relationship. but unlike her mom, she doesn't have kids so she doesn't even have that to consider as a reason to stay -- like girl, just run and work on yourself. I'm not even completely aiming this rant at this awful trilogy and the characters but in general because people are so quick to name stuff like this "mommy or daddy issues" when it's dismissive of the actual problem and in modern day has gross connotations like you're implying. I'm sure there are fans who see the character like that but I don't think that's what OP was hinting at.

One of the worst reads. I struggled to get through the first and second book (why did I read the second? I hate myself). Didn’t go any further than that because I just really hated both of the characters.
