Matt & Julie's Relationship (Season 2) | Friday Night Lights 

I stan Landry. Dude is awesome.

That reminds me of wwld. What would lucifer do in the show lucifer

Mine too. He had every single right to be pissed after the fact she was talking and messing with another dude while with matt, then after it didnt work she thought she could just come back and everything would be okay as if nothing happened and thats not the case at all whatsoever.

She ended up being the worst gf on the show next to Lyla.

@@dlwst44 Tyra was far worse to Landry than Lyla was to Jason or Tim or that Julie was to Matt.

@@2H2521 she was bad too, but they had not been together long at all. He tried rolling being a hero into forever love, and it backfired on him.

@@dlwst44 she was just bad to Matt in Season 2. And season 2 had bad writing, with the writers strike. Julie was also struggling with finding her place in her Family, in season 2 when she becomes an older sister at 15 years old. That led to some feelings of resentment. And with her Dad gone for 8 months leads to some behavioral issues. For all the other seasons, Julie supported Matt through all the struggles with his grandmother. In season 1 she forgave Matt for standing her up at the library and instead jumped in and helped him. In season 3 she was nothing but encouraging Matt to go to Chicago to study art. And pushed her Dad to make him Wide Receiver because Matt wanted it, and knew he would be great at it. Also, not to mention she never left his side when his Dad died. Julie was not a bad person she was just immature. Which is realistic for a teenager.

@@dlwst44lyla was kind of an unfortunate situation. She couldn’t have predicted her high school sweetheart would have his life completely changed

Mans was getting some in and out of school lmao

Julie was so jealous

Best girl for Matt was the cheerleader he stupidly dumped for the in house nurse. She was perfect.

@@thedarkknight9153 she was boring as hell.

honestly they were perfect together. Julie brought out the teen Matt, first love all that stuff. Matt brought Julie down from her high horse. Made her think about consequences etc. They really balanced each other out.

@@DylanLovesBrenda I always found that Julie was the best version of herself with Matt. I also think that seeing Matt with his grandmother helped her grow up. She really loved his grandmother. Julie was not a bad person contrary to what people believe from Season 2, and her brief affair with the TA, she was just extremely immature. But it was obvious that when she was with Matt she was the best version of herself.

@@lauraschoenborn3544 exactly, I always get annoyed by the excessive hate towards Julie because I feel like she definitely was humbled in s2 when Matt didn't just take her back and they rightfully both had time independently to just heal. Julie basically lost stability in her family when her dad moved away and didn't feel like she knew herself anymore, she felt constricted by her life, Matt was also probably drifting away a bit after winning state and going to a bunch of parties and she never cared about him being a football player or being the stereotypical IT couple at high school. I also think people put Matt too high on the pedestal. One issue I had with him early on was how he lacked assertiveness/confidence and that showed in how he was acting at the start of s2, just letting this (Julie and the Swede) happen before his eyes. even coach tells him to do something about it. Thankfully, he grows into that role later on and Julie in s3 is moreso showing initiative with rekindling with Matt which shows she genuinely cared and missed him. the fact that they always come back to each other and how genuine and easygoing their dynamic is when they are happy together, it just feels right. In a way they definitely do seem to parallel Eric and Tami when they were younger, and Julie is scared of becoming her parents in s2 (she is seeing their marriage at its most strained point, given the circumstances), but by s5 she sees their strong marriage as an example to look up to.

Riggins had the best character development of the show fs

I don't think any of the other girlfrinds in his life would have supported Matt like Julie did. She truly cared for him. Matt had so much baggage. Matt did not put forth much effort to keep their relationship alive.

@@erictogerson8075 for real!!!

Her parents treated her great idk what you watching she was spoiled af. She mad decisions based on her own ego and didn’t care who she hurt not everyone like Julie. Don’t use age as an excuse

@@Michael-kh1bq Yeah she was pretty spoiled, Lied ALL the time, and pretty much screw alot of people over in the end. Remeber that Ep. where Tim was tryna sneak in drunk Julie (her own fault) and he got kicked out...took her days to tell the truth lmfao

I agree. I did not like Julie in season 2. But she was also poorly written in season 2 like just about everyone else. Tami was also pretty poorly written in season 2 did not like her much either in season 2. I do understand a bit of where Julie was coming from with the breakup, all of a sudden you are in a serious relationship. She was manipulated and charmed by the Swede. Also, no teenager wants to be there parents. She regretted breaking up with Matt because she realized what a big mistake she made. Everyone has moments where they regret a breakup.

That’s what I was thinking. She’s going around all down when she’s the one who cheated and didn’t seem to care how that hurt Matt.

Perhaps Regret-Remorse, either way, shouldn't have cheated on Matt with the Swedish Guy,(No Excuse in the Book that would Validate Cheating), Than again when someone Experience's a Break-up,(Both Parties should Move on), But it feels Weird at least for a Time when Both Ex's encounter each other with Different Mate's,I Understand Matt when He Explain's how when the Relationship didn't work out with the Swed she went back to him like He's a Rebound that's Not Cool at all.

@@Frosty98206 matt sarcen all the way love that fool

It was regret. She was charmed by the Swede. She realized that she made a huge mistake with the Swede but she didn’t realize how it looks when you dump the guy you dumped your ex for and then go back to your ex. Personally the whole thing with the Swede was weird and really bad writing. Almost all character arcs were off in season 2, it was pretty obvious in season 3 that the writers never wanted to break Matt and Julie up the way they were magically friends again. Season 3 was like total damage control.

@@lauraschoenborn3544 Landry Clark serial murderer season.

Yh next time i watch imma skip season 2

@@akaZeky I tell people to skip season 2 and just wikipedia it. Season 2 felt so draggy, and painful to watch. Also, it was obvious that the writers were doing massive damage control in season 3. They were covering their bases.

One lol I’m on season 2 in my rewatch ugh I want to skip it lol

exactly. in s3 even, it feels like that time apart was good for them, they had the chance to recalibrate and Julie is also the one initiating most of the conversations with Matt. she clearly knows she hurt him , and she wants to try again. I picture Matt still loves her too, and although cautious he has been able to heal from the previous year. We also see that he goes through his own very low point at numerous points, and when his with Julie in these times, she is always supportive of Matt.

It’s not realistic especially because they still loved each other. I have friends that started dating in 7th grade, got serious in high school. Broke up to date other people for an amount of time and got back together. Over 20 years later, 3 kids later, they are still married and happily. It happens, you think the grass is greener and it’s not. Sometimes it takes a situation like this to grow up and realize they are the ones. Meeting your person so early in life, you have to branch out. If someone held some mistake over my head that I regretted when i was 16 that would be so unfair and shitty.

@@DylanLovesBrenda exactly. I actually think the show needed to depict something messy like this. If they were just some idealistic high school sweetheart couple , then got married through the show without any conflict or bumps in the road, I think it would have rang false. Especially because Julie and Matt come from such different households and face large upheaval in their lives. the fact that they went through all the things they did from s2-5 and still ended up together and showed genuine love makes it more impactful in my opinion, and we see that Julie truly does care about Matt

Yeah screw him. Swedes think they are so cool with their baguettes and their Eiffel Tower.

@@thearmchairpsychologist27 you mean their meatballs

yes, I don't like how some people think Julie is just settling for Matt or she doesn't truly love him , when a lot she does in the show proves the opposite. If she didn't really care about Matt like that, she would have just started dating another guy and not have come to apologize and take accountability. in s3, she would have never rekindled things with him, but time and time again we see that Julie does love Matt and when they are together, she is nothing but supportive of his own personal issues (such as in s3 with his grandma, or losing his position as QB1)

English?

@@light.5562 I’m reading it back now. I must have been drunk writing this.

@@WAFFLEBOYPHD All good 😂😂

she was seeing her parents marriage at its worst in s2 and dreaded becoming that way
