Atlanta IRL

I get why y’all are mad that it feels like Van is expected to get a pass for participating in all that s*** but you need to take a f***ing step back from the character - she doesn’t even know who she is so what substance do you have to base your favor of her on? I have personally never liked van on this show, but I definitely felt the most interest in her or got the most out of her in this episode. I don’t know if someone already brought this up but Van was about to kill herself in a car just like we saw the white b****es do in the first episode. That’s where she’s at mentally but obviously has had a completely different experience in America. This character and ep is not about liking who she is. I’ve seen people itt talk about the hand eating not be funny at all and just flat out disgusting and yeah that’s the point. Cannibalism/satanism has been present in a lot of this season and it makes sense with the main three being in Europe and entering circles of more successful people. Donald has probably experienced some of that s*** firsthand and is putting the reality of it on blast with this episode (which imo is a very Atlanta thing to do). The feeling as a viewer of realizing they’re eating hands coincided perfectly with van’s coming back to reality. Also from a creating art perspective, how they were presenting this meal as the pinnacle of culinary experience sounds like Glover asking the question of morality in art. Van got wrapped up in this - the “hands” got her as someone pointed out - but what she realized, what her friend feels, and what the audience feels is that it’s not who she is. She was probably testing how far she could deform her identity before it became repulsive, but she just lost herself in it. I think that goes back to the objective differences in art and the art world about there being pure evil but most people just don’t even know who the f*** they are and don’t see how they feed into it. You’ve got the literal cannibal Alexander Skarsgard having his kinks satisfied by “evil Van” then you’ve got some naive girl from Atlanta taking her friend’s job of satisfying this random Parisian dude’s kinks. I see a lot of bridge building between people with objectively abhorrent behavior and people that are just living in the grey and not too sure about who they are. I feel like the theme there is like “people just don’t realize how close they are to all the horrible s*** out there that affects real people” which is what was explained to us in a on the nose way in the great payback

Overall though this episode felt like they got halfway through a season finale, and I thought they were pretty messy with the timeline in this episode. Aside from the one to one connection between Van to the lesbian white b****es and earn to white earn, I don’t see what we’re supposed to make of the connection between the other anthology episodes and the episodes with the main three. Clearly earn was just getting back from somewhere but that tour poster also looked pretty old.

What? Dissociating doesn't means she/they are imagining things.

It's an exaggerated timespan. Like when Darius seemed to come back to the Nigerian food place the next day and it had somehow already gone out of business and was replaced with the Naija Bowl

So YOU would trust Earn over Darius or Paper boy? 🤨

to a degree yes, one could argue that Darius has also been open minded, thoughtful and had try to help out people, even if it doesn’t go right and backfires. a day one kind of person

new jazz highlighted to me the fact that Darius may be selfish but also not as trustworthy as I thought before and I found that interesting

Thing is darius didn't leave him, they both kinda wandered they own ways, especially Al cus he got scared of the fans. Plus Al said he wasn't high at all yet, so it wasn't "Intense" at that point.

Darius definitely didn't ditch him on some untrustworthy s***, sometimes niggas get split up from the group. Happens all the time at coachella

Bro it doesn’t change the fact that he backstabbed Clark’s team no matter how you spin it. What are you not understanding?

He backstabbed a nigga he was cool with and going on tour with. You can admit he did some backstabbing s*** bro.

If Clark wasn’t there it could of been Darius he placed the blame on instead.

You wouldnt even get to that point with Darius

Bruh gone disappoint u immediately

nah bro Darius left him. crowd wasn’t that big for them to get split up

mans left his superstar friend alone in a foreign country tripping on a d*** he had never done before

that’s some untrustworthy s***

Earn had no loyalty to Clark whatsoever and Earn going to jail would have f***ed things over for Al on the tour. Earn did the smart thing in that ep and Al saw it and appreciated it. that was probably Earn’s best moment in the series at that point where he finally earned Al’s respect. definitely not an example of him being untrustworthy

Oscar Winner

lmao that nigga did not leave him. Ya'll really acting like darius rushed around the corner to ditch him, niggas just got split up, partially due to Paper boy acting like a little b**** hiding from them euro boys

Things would of actually been better for Al, if Earn went to jail then more than likely Clarks manager would of snatched him up as a client and have him making real money.

Ya'll can say what ya'll want but Clarks team gave them an opportunity to go on tour with them and Earn repaid them by setting them up to go to jail. If you don't see that as being untrustworthy then Ima pray for you cus niggas gonna have an easy time backdooring you.

And last thing, you in ya right mind can't deny that if it was only Al earn and Darius at the airport, Earn would of placed the blame on Darius instead. Earn wasn't taking the fall for NOBODY.
