Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you\u2019ve watched \u201cEuphoria\u2019s\u201d seventh episode of Season 3.<\/p>\n
Ding dong, the witch is dead, and the victory is hollow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEuphoria\u201d killed off Nate Jacobs<\/a> (Jacob Elordi) \u2014 and he went out in the most \u201cLooney Tunes\u201d way possible.\u00a0The character launched Elordi into stardom, and he was an iconic TV villain that everyone loved to hate.\u00a0<\/p>\n So, the problem isn\u2019t that Season 3 killed Nate, but rather how it was all very\u2026 stupid. Series creator\/ writer Sam Levinson wasted the use of an Oscar-nominated actor, and a once-great character.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEuphoria\u201d killed off Jacob Elordi\u2019s Nate Jacobs (pictured in Season 3). HBO<\/p>\n Nate (pictured in Season 3) died by getting buried alive and then bitten by a rattlesnake. Eddy Chen<\/p>\n Nate died in the penultimate episode of Season 3 by getting buried alive, and then getting bitten by a rattlesnake<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was disturbing<\/a>, which might seem fitting for a loathsome character. But it was also cartoonish. And, the people responsible for his death were random new side characters. Nate committed a lot of sins in his life, and his killers weren\u2019t connected to any of that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n He was essentially killed by glorified extras in a ridiculous way.\u00a0<\/p>\n Nate (pictured in Season 3) was killed in a ridiculous way. <\/p>\n Nate (pictured in Season 3) was a changed character in the final season. Eddy Chen<\/p>\n Tell anybody who only watched the first two seasons of \u201cEuphoria\u201d that\u2019s how Nate died, and the reaction will be, \u201cHuh? Yeah, I wanted that jerk to die, but HUH?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEuphoria\u201d first premiered in 2019, following a group of high schoolers. Nate Jacobs was the toxic jock with anger issues. He choked his girlfriend, Maddy (Alexa Demie). Then, after cops arrested him for it, he manipulated and blackmailed another guy (Tyler, played by Lukas Gage) into taking the fall for it. He blackmailed Jules (Hunter Schafer). He used and degraded Cassie (Sydney Sweeney).\u00a0<\/p>\n Nate was controlling, angry, sleazy, scary. He was also interesting and complex.<\/p>\n Nate (pictured in Season 1 with Eric Dane) used to be toxic but interesting. HBO<\/p>\n Nate (pictured in Season 1) was never a flat villain. HBO<\/p>\n The first two seasons explored why he was like that. \u201cEuphoria\u201d had its faults, but it previously did a good job of digging into Nate\u2019s psychology. <\/p>\n He was exposed to his father Cal\u2019s (Eric Dane) homemade porn videos at a young age, which was damaging to Nate\u2019s psyche.\u00a0The first season also kept Nate\u2019s sexuality ambiguous, and he was self-loathing about it, taking his issues out on other people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
