#the great hulu season 2

[imnotoverlyobsessive]

Peter in The Great is unironically one of my favorite kinds of dudes. Catherine tries to kill him? He’s like 😍 Catherine is ruthless and cruel to him? He’s like 🥵 Catherine insults him and threatens his life repeatedly? He’s just like 🍆 and I love that, that’s fucking hilarious. I love it when a guy is like “omfg she’s so mean and bloodthirsty I love her so much” it’s amazing

What the characters of The Great would dress up as for Halloween

I thought this would be fun to do. Happy Halloween!

Peter: Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken

I just know Peter would dress up as Ken! He picked Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken because he wants to look cool and not wear a shirt.

Catherine: Barbie or clever pun costume

I could see Catherine doing one of two things; either she dresses up as Barbie because she's coordinating with Peter (and she probably likes the movie since it's feminist) or she's doing a pun costume that she came up with herself and thinks is really clever.

Grigor and George: Bonnie and Clyde

Couple's costume but well executed. George probably started putting together the costume months in advance. They've got super cool gunshot makeup and Grigor is stoked that he gets to carry a prop gun (that he'll probably pretend to shoot Peter, Arkady, and Velementov with). They win best costume.

Tatyana: Sexy badger

She's totally the kind of girl to wear lingerie and animal ears Mean Girls style. We saw her put ink on her nose to look like a badger in the printing press episode, so I think she would be a sexy badger.

Arkady: Han Solo

I definitely think Arkady would dress up as someone cool and suave like Han Solo (he would also pretend to shoot the guys with his blaster). He wanted to be Ken, but then he found out Peter was dressing up as Ken and he had to switch.

Orlo: Some obscure philosopher

He would spend the whole evening trying to explain his costume and get progressively more frustrated that nobody knows who he is.

Archie: Nothing

Of course Archie thinks that Halloween is the devil's holiday, but he still shows up at the party to stare at everyone in sexy costumes. People keep telling him "nice costume" even though he's wearing his normal clothes.

Elizabeth: Floor show Frank-N-Furter

Elizabeth definitely goes to midnight screenings of Rocky Horror every year. She's dressing up as floor show Frank because (like real life Elizabeth) she wants to show off her legs.

Agnes and Hugo: Misunderstood couple's costume

Agnes would be like "we should do Grease". Hugo would be like "got it" and show up in a toga.

Velementov: One of those pairs of glasses with a nose and moustache

Velementov is doing the lowest effort costume possible. He literally just came to the party to get drunk.

Marial: Sexy angel

Marial is probably wearing a super basic costume. Archie yells at her because he thinks her costume is blasphemous.

Just to add to that last post I find it so unbelievably strange when people say they hate Marial and love Peter like I love them both but hating Marial and loving him is odd to me. I so confused by what greater thing Peter has done then Marial on the moral scale 😕

(I haven’t watched season 3 yet so this opinion on Marial could change but I doubt it I fucking adore her)

I could write an essay on all the intricacies and nuances of the INSANE relationship dynamic of Peter/Grigor/George. The three of them are so codependent it’s crazy. Like George loves Grigor but also loves fucking Peter (and there’s also a weird power dynamic between them because he is emperor), but she doesn’t love Peter romantically. And Grigor loves George so he hates that she’s fucking Peter, but he can’t hate Peter because he loves him so much (platonically, but maybe not???). And Peter is so oblivious and has been made so entitled to everything by being emperor that he needs them both to be completely and utterly devoted to him, and has never stopped to think that maybe he shouldn’t fuck his best friend’s wife. They’re his friends but he also has so much power over them. It’s simultaneously beneficial and awful for everyone involved. It’s so toxic but none of them can imagine life otherwise. It’s so interesting and it should have been explored more on the show.

the great s3 SUCKED!!

diary entry #1 —

I've been meaning to rant about this ever since I finished s3 but the new season of the great sucked SO BAD!! obviously spoilers....

but the way they killed peter was SOOOOO FUCKING STUPID!!! Like a lot of fans are saying people who hated this plot twist just can't accept sad endings/tradgedy and although that might be true in my case, the way the writers went about peter's ENTIRE STORY this season was just FUCKING ASS!!! it's obvious the writers had no clue what to do with his character now that he's no longer emperor. But I can't even say that's 100% the case cuz they did just fine with his character last season when he was serving house husband/malewife vibes.

WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST CONTINUED THAT PART OF HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?!

I feel like they went backwards on that front. Like why all of a sudden he cared about leading again and proving a point to his father when he spent all of s2 overcoming his mommy and daddy issues and realizing he never wanted to rule Russia nor be a leader...? They could've went down the obvious route of him focusing on being a good father to paul instead. They could've made he want to overcome and unlearn all his childhood trauma to be a good husband and father but NOOOOOOO!!

They honestly just made him a bit annoying this season. Stepping all over catherine's toes when she's trying to be a good empress as if we didn't already do this plot last season with peter having to accept that he isn't emperor anymore.

Enough about peter, I could talk about everything wrong with his story this season for hours, now onto catherine. Catherine also kinda pissed me off this season even though she's just like me fr. I love her a lot but she was really annoying me during the first half of the season. It just sucked that peter had to die in order for her to be a little less annoying this season. And if their plan all along was to test catherine's leadership as empress, I really hate the way to went about it.

First of all, they said FUCK ORLO FOR NO REASON. (I can't even get into orlo wihtout seething). I guess it was to add to catherine's fall so she can rebuild in the finale... ok....? (and that can't be the case because THEY FUCKING HAD HER KILL HIM WITHOUT KNOWING AND GOT RID OF HIS BODY THUS JUST GETTING RID OF HIS ENTIRE CHARACTER WITHOUT A PROPER ENDING AND FOR WHY !@?!#+) Then they're continuing this annoying plot with everyone in palace hating her which that plot line in of itself isn't the problem, it's — say it with me — the execution. The execution/writing was just confusing all season.

I just couldn't comprehend a single writing they made this season, NOT A SINGLE ONE. NOTHING this season nor last season ever even hinted at this being the outcome. It's one thing for it to be a plot twist but I feel like even when the plot twist occurs there should be an "ohhhhhhh...." moment where everything clicks and you start piecing together and understanding every plot and action that lead to the plot twist but that never happened this season. I was trying to think of all the things that lead to — not just the peter death — but every. single. plot. line. and I couldn't come up with anything.

NOTHING. MADE. SENSE.

It was like I was watching WHOLE. DIFFERENT. SHOW. 😭😭😭 I just could not believe I was watching HULU'S THE GREAT SEASON 3. It was a different show and not in a good way. There's a way to say "this is a different show" when referring to later seasons of a show (ie The Good Place) but no! I mean this is a different show (derogatory). It felt like different writers, producers, directors... SOMETHING!

Anyways, back to catherine. I really thought we would get more development on the court hating her but there was zero to no development on that. Instead we got this dumbass pugachev storyline that could've gone somewhere interesting but no.... they just kill him off way too easily. i was so over it at that point. Like what was the point!? It was just a MESS hunny OMG.... like all of a sudden they wanna be "historically accurate" in the worst way possible. like BOOOOOOO TOMATO TOMATO!!

They could've just kept up the "peter faked his death" storyline if they wanted to "kill him off" but just have him with Sweds if they so badly wanted to get rid of his character, write him off, and be "historically accurate". I'm sorry, killing him was so goddamn unnecessary, all I can do is laugh at this point. Like I literally laughed and looked at my imaginary The Office camera and said "this isn't serious, right?!" when it happened.

At first I thought they killed him off because nicholas (peter's actor) wanted to leave to pursue other projects (cuz I heard a rumor on twitter) but turns out in a interview he said he was sad that they killed off peter and that he loved playing him and didn't wanna leave so now, truly.... WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT!? HAJDKD!w&#t&!

In conclusion, I don't think I'll tune in next season (we'll probably have to wait EVEN LONGER bc of the writers strike). The show just went down in my ranking for my fave shows of all time but if I act like season 3 doesn't exist it can still remain at the top. In my mind, the show ended with peter realizing he doesn't need approval from his dead father and realizes catherine, paul and his friends are enough for him and they continue to be girlboss and her malewife. the end.

Yeah idk what the actual fuck the writers were thinking this season. Like LITERALLY what possessed their minds to write this season like this?!?! I'm genuinely asking 😭.

It's been WEEKS and I can't even fathom putting myself in their shoes and seeing how they thought this season was good and made sense. It was like watching a psychological thriller, like how far could the writers break and twist my mind before I completely lost it at the same time catherine did. If that was their intention well then good job, if not, FUCK YOU! 😭

like were they just trying to throw shit at the wall and fuck the show over before the writers strike era fucks them over or something?!?!??

BONUS, some things I actually liked this season: george's development was fun and enjoyable. not being able to tell if she was putting on an act or not was fun like where is her oscar!? I was genuinely waiting for her and catherine to become real bffs instead of marial (I DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT MARIAL THIS SEASON BC SHE PISSED ME OFF SO BAD ALL SEASON, LIKE WHAT WERE THEY EVEN DOING WITH HER?!?!?). I'm rooting for catherine and george to be real friends. catherine and grigor being real friends is all I ever wanted, omg they were so cute. Even if they weren't REAL bffs, their little alliance for peter in episode 6 was so cute to see I love them so much.

I just loved grigor so much this season idk he was just so enjoyable this season. like poor baby he's been through so much I just wanna hug him after the peter thing happened and FUCK ASS MARIAL WAS BEING A TERRIBLE PARTNER AND DIDN'T SUPPORT HIM AT ALL THROUGH THIS. Like even if you hated peter's guts not comforting your partner during a hard time is so nasty and fucked like FUCK HER FR. i hope they aren't endgame, marial really doesn't deserve him and it seems like grigor isn't even all that into marial anymore anyways.

Velementov this season was great, a little sad so it pissed me off a bit especially when they revealed he's not actually sick anymore.... ok..., but he was serving father figure with catherine this season and it was so cute.

The Sweds were funny and interesting (despite hugo lowkey being the reason peter died but we MOVE).

also... kinda mad we didn't get pugachev and archie fucking like ....!??!>@ 😭😭 archie deserved to get LAID!! IM SORRY I HAD TO SAY IT!!! But also fuck him and fuck the writers for going backwards on his character. after all of that development in s2 and thinking he was fine all season, they all of a sudden made him betray catherine for whatever dumbass reason i don't remember and then catherine has him killed when i was just starting to really enjoy his character. well fuck me ig... (also he's not even actually dead, marial's bitchass dug him up so WHAT WAS THE REASON?!)

This post was very long windeed but all in all, this season was a mess. I couldn't believe what the fuck I was watching cuz this wasn't MY the great, certainly not MY SHOW. And I'm not excited for next season but I guess we'll see... s3 ruined my whole week and I'm done talking about it.

bye <3 🍒
