Whitney was pretty unlikable, but in the end Asher felt like a very tragic character. He’s clearly been bullied and struggled to fit in his entire life (judging from his dialogue with Dougie) and he struck me as the only character committed to changing himself. I’ve seen some people criticize him for only trying to be

I’ve thought about that, and I’m not convinced that it would have been worth it. Asher would be sacrificing his firm grip on the branch to show his legs dangle in the air, and run the risk that the firefighters dismiss it as him just stretching his lower body into the sky. To really show that gravity is pulling him

How are we still processing The Curse finale?

To me it the whole thing was somewhat ruined by Asher’s inability to save himself.

The one thing I learned from The Curse is always have small bills.

I only saw the finale a few days ago (mostly unspoiled, aside from seeing the AV Club headline “Oh. My. God.” which was thankfully vague enough) and... yeah I dunno. Still processing. My gut reaction upon watching it was visceral, to be sure, but it also left me with this unpleasant, icky feeling, like I just did not

I feel like people were immediately delving into what it meant over on Reddit, but maybe that’s just the purpose of Reddit.

I’m two weeks late to this party, but I can’t help thinking of how the previous episode ended when I think of this one: Asher telling Whitney “If one day you don’t need me anymore, I’ll vanish. You won’t even have to say anything, I’ll just feel it and I’ll be gone.” And in this episode, with the birth of their child,

Nicely played! 

We don’t know what the specifics of Dougie’s curse entailed, but we do know the last thing Nala cursed someone with was to “fall,” which the other girl eventually does. 

of course his reaction to a supernatural phenomenon around him would be that he must have caused it.

I curse them

When you said directly, you did not overstate one bit, the ripped off stinking nature of whoever produced this video.

Plus earlier in the episode the baby was the wrong way in her womb and they said it'd straighten out in time for the birth. So there's a parallel there with Asher literally the wrong way inside the house when her labor starts and he struggles to escape the house like the baby struggles to escape her womb and both

What the fuck did I just watch? I don’t mean that in a bad way but a genuine mind blown what the fuck. I liked basically all of Fielder’s projects but I wasn’t really feeling The Curse that much. So much of the series was just filled with cringey dread and anxiety. It moved slow and you keep waiting for it to go

Asher made the unbelievably fucked up comment about Dougie’s wife after a night (and probably a lifetime) of constant abuse/bullying from Dougie. You can only push people so far. It finally exploded out of him when he couldn’t take it anymore.

youtube is filled with this like this. between that and AI internet is becoming a cultural landfill.

I get why the ending is... mixed for a lot of people, to say the least, but I really dug it. I feel like the show said everything it had to say about these people at the end of the last episode: it was clear everyone was stuck in their own miserable little ruts, were incapable of learning what they needed to move

Well, he also was given pretty clear instructions about how to deal with the situation from Asher and ignored them all to film what was going on.

And if Dougie was referring to thinking that he cursed Asher: of course his reaction to a supernatural phenomenon around him would be that he must have caused it.

I’m taking that as the curse Dougie put on him after Asher made that unbelievably fucked up comment about Dougie's wife. I think he even says "what have I done" when he breaks down about Asher flying away
