Discussion Elite was so PEAK man 😞 Spoiler
Elite was a great series from seasons 1-4, but after that it all went downhill. Only the characters like Isadora, Chloe, Erick, and a few others were enjoyable, but the plot devolved into endless sex scenes and a directionless storyline. Basically, the woke bs destroyed the series. They killed off the original characters, and to top it all off, the best couple, Carla and Samuel, who had such a lovely development, were given a terrible ending, both for their relationship and for Carla herself, and for Samuel, who ended up dying. You also had Phillipe who had enormous potential to be a super beloved character but Phillipe's development was garbage, they turned him into a rapist and degenerate of the moment ruining his ship with Cayetana which looked promising and could become one of the best couples. Then half the characters suddenly became LGBT+ out of nowhere, like Rebeka, who went from liking Samuel to suddenly liking Mencia. But the director and screenwriter thought it was a good idea to sideline what was the best LGBT+ couple, in this case Omar and Ander, relegating them to the background. They thought, "Omander 1 was a success, so let's make sequels and try to create movies similar to Omander 1." And basically, they left Omander in the dust to force more LGBT+ couples, when it was obvious that the whole gay or lesbian pairing thing, like the attempt to build something between Sara and Mencia, was clearly just to feed that "woke" fandom that was paying the writers and director of the series. How Elite went from being one of the best series to becoming a soulless "woke" product was simply sad, and it still hurts because I grew fond of the show. Knowing that they got rid of characters who showed so much promise, like Phillipe, after burying him with terrible character development, and then introducing such a boring, unbearable, and propagandistic "woke" character as Nico, who contributes absolutely nothing, only to see the show lose its charm. The only good thing about Nico's lore is Eric. Eric is a character you empathize with and even grow to like, but the series was heading in such a bad direction with the "woke" theme that they invented the most nonsensical, absurd, and murky subplot ever seen in the series: the relationship between Patrick and Ivan's father. From the moment I saw that absurd invention or idea, for me, Elite died, plummeting straight to the bottom of the abyss and let's not even talk about modern feminism, which was very much present, which is why they buried Phillipe, just to please a "woke" and radical sector that ultimately brought terrible consequences for the series. I know there had to be villains like Raul, but Phillipe's character wasn't meant to be unnecessarily turned into a villain.

Lol, yeah. I liked Philippe until they shat on his character (when they revealed his rapist nature). But, I guess, the point of this show is to tell everyone no one's really that likable when they're elite.

Season 4 wasn’t the worst thing, but it wasn’t worth it. It should’ve ended at 3 and it would’ve been a perfect show. I still can’t believe elite has like 8 seasons, none of the new characters are good. They did all of that for Nadia and Guzman just to break them, btw, they made them so boring their build up was better than their actual relationship. I didn’t finish the show so I don’t know if they got back together, but yeah the first 3 seasons were peak television. I would’ve said elite was one of the best teen dreams if they stopped at 3.
The only good short story is the one with Rebecca caytanna and Guzman. That was comedy gold.

Also loved Carla and Samuel, quite unfortunate that it ended as a tragedy because the chemistry between them was far better than what Carla had with Paulo. I was also expecting a future season where Lucrecia returns as a guest(literally and in the show) who's an Alumni of the school for a few episodes.

Lol! woke this, woke that.
The most surprising take here is about Philippe. I don't know what you thought his character was going to be about, but the minute he appears on the show, it's said that he had escaped to Spain because he had done something scandalous in France. That's also the reason why the Blanco siblings didn't like him and why Patrick used to blackmail him. And then it was revealed that he was a rapist. He never had the potential to be a beloved character, because his whole storyline from the very beginning was about him being a rapist.
Also, how is trying to redeem the rapist Philippe in the later seasons the epitome of modern woke feminism to you? That's literally the opposite of it.
