How 'Euphoria' gave Sydney Sweeney her own Godzilla moment
Euphoria's Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney) has worn many hats. Figure skater. OnlyFans model. Kaiju.
SEE ALSO:'Euphoria' made sex work go viral. Real sex workers are still getting censored.
The latter hat comes into play in Season 3, episode 5, when Cassie's OnlyFans fame goes to her head in a supersized fantasy sequence. As she watches her OnlyFans notifications pour in, Cassie imagines herself growing into a giantess and stomping through downtown Los Angeles, ready to take Hollywood by storm.
It's a technically impressive sequence that draws inspiration from 1958's Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and the Godzilla franchise. In a behind-the-scenes video released by HBO, the Euphoria team takes viewers through how they brought it all to life by building painstaking miniatures
"It was a lot of fun. It took about a year to build all the miniatures," Euphoria creator Sam Levinson said in the above behind-the-scenes video.
Cassie's dream of Hollywood glory is Euphoria Season 3's first major departure from reality, something which used to be a staple in earlier Euphoria seasons. Think Rue's (Zendaya) views of herself as a private detective, or her relapse at the end of Season 1, which turns into a memorable musical number.
It's a shame, then, that the inventive Cassie-zilla sequence is tied to a hyper-sexualized montage of her OnlyFans work. Euphoria's portrayal of sex work has already earned criticism from sex workers, and it continues to fall into the same trap in episode 5: highlighting fantasies of sex work without actually fleshing out the sex workers themselves. After all, Cassie is little more than a fame-hungry caricature by this point, and as fun as it is to see Euphoria embrace practical monster effects, it's not enough to mask the emptiness and shock value of her narrative.
New episodes of Euphoria Season 3 premiere Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

This scene was the worst.
ReplyDeleteI have no interest in watching this show anymore, especially because of her
ReplyDeleteThis whole season is just fetish content
ReplyDeleteSam Levinson writes this show like he has never met a woman in real life and thinks this is how they all behave
ReplyDeletei haven’t seen a single positive comment about this season yall need to wrap it up 💔
ReplyDeletegenuinely why would u think anybody would enjoy her first part of the episode
ReplyDeleteI’m pissed
ReplyDeleteu know what actually everything but the tits pressing on the fucking windows was low key fun, at least to me like i got what they meant to say with cassie becoming giant, but man wtf is wrong w sam levinson😭is he doing it to give more attention to the show? cause he could do that in soooo many different ways that'll actually work out better than giving Sydney's tits more screentime than anyone else in this whole season
ReplyDeleteSo many dumb comments not understanding what this scene signified
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing
ReplyDeleteWorst espisode eveeer
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for an Alice in wonderland vibe. She looks iconic in the bedroom scene. But after that it was genuinely too much.
ReplyDeleteTooo muchh nonsense 💀💀 that I felt grossed out by the nudity in this show🤢🤢
ReplyDeletei lwk miss the hs drama
ReplyDeleteэто кошмар , товарищи
ReplyDeleteIt’s a porn film made to release on Brazzers not HBO
ReplyDeleteWhat was the point of the scene???
ReplyDeleteLet’s get back to the storyline @champagnepapi
ReplyDeleteHaven’t even watched it but hate it already
ReplyDeleteYou guys just don’t get it… it was a great metaphor!! Loveeeed it 😍
ReplyDeletevery bad episode or should I say this season 😭
ReplyDelete🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
ReplyDeleteworst part of the whole show. unnecessary to say the least.
ReplyDeleteSick of Cassie, I feel like they’re forcing us to watch her when we all signed up to watch RUE
ReplyDeleteBtw - you’ve ruined Jules. Barbie left at the right time.
ReplyDeletethey ruined Jules.*
DeleteThe audience for this show is insanely low IQ. None of you are worthy of it.
ReplyDeleteSam Levinson managed to ruin an incredible series to showcase his repertoire of bizarre sexual desires. It became clear who was truly maintaining the quality of the show.
ReplyDeleteUna basura de escena, patética e innecesariamente larga

ReplyDeletei’m so sick of seeing cassie she can’t even act and sounds like she needs her tonsils removed every time she talks it’s so annoying.
ReplyDelete💀
ReplyDeleteIt’s just me. MAGA @sydney_sweeney
ReplyDeleteWtf sam levinson
ReplyDeleteThis show is insulting towards the intelligence of the audience.

ReplyDelete😵💫
ReplyDelete🤮
ReplyDeleteThis was so dumb. Wasted thousands of dollars on this set for ten minutes of utter fetish bs that contributed NOTHING to the storyline but Levinson getting his jollies off
ReplyDeleteThis was just stupid
ReplyDeleteCringe. Cringe. Cringe. 💀💀💀
ReplyDeleteGROSS
ReplyDeleteSmh
ReplyDeleteMe voló la cabeza. MASTERPIECE!
ReplyDeleteHey so I hated that!
ReplyDeleteQue innecesaria temporada 💀
ReplyDeletejust cancel the show already actually
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen like 15 posts with “it’s me Cassie”… I’m guessing the social media person has a lil crush on someone?
ReplyDeleteOmfg
ReplyDeleteI LOVE MADDIE SHE SHOULD BE THE MAIN CHARACTER
ReplyDeleteHer role became her biopic LOL
ReplyDeleteI felt two things. The writers were calling out how big she’s gotten both for her acting (which is exceptional) and for her political views (unfortunate) while also objectifying her. It made me sad
ReplyDeleteSummertime and the living is easy
ReplyDeleteThat might be the worst episode made by man kind… like, I’m here to see if Rue makes it out alive, not Cassie being a giant with her 🍒 out and some DISGUSTING stuff she’s been doing.
ReplyDeleteLiterally skipped all of this
ReplyDeleteCan she get less screentime ? 🙄

ReplyDeleteIt was so Cringe
ReplyDeleteNobody wanted the first ten minutes of that episode
ReplyDeleteIdk get it shit is weird an gay
ReplyDeleteentendi a referência, mas não vi necessidade
ReplyDeleteI really want to know what secrets Sam Levinson has about Sydney that she’s agreed to do this show.
ReplyDeleteCRINGE AF
ReplyDelete😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteWorst scene everrrr
ReplyDeleteLoved it
ReplyDeleteAlgo turbio
ReplyDeleteSam Levinson is a sick person 💀 this season is like a dirty old sad man dark dream, too explicit and unnecessary, I don't understand how these young smart actors are participating in this trash
ReplyDeleteAwesome
ReplyDeleteStop trying to make the Cassie show happen. We have moved on same as most of her cast mates
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me so much of that scene from The Nutty Professor where he turns into a giant! 😂😂
ReplyDeleteCancelen la serie
ReplyDeleteI love this episode with my life
ReplyDelete😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteCassie/Sydney is the worst!! We just want Maddy, Lexi, Jules and Rue!! Get rid of Cassie and Nate!!
ReplyDeleteso when are we gonna get a close on the story and characters? its a mess this season and not enough time to clean it up.
ReplyDeleteFear that the show has ‘jumped the shark’
ReplyDeleteThe worst season of the entire series, a total disaster. I’m honestly DISGUSTED !!
ReplyDeleteEuphoria was my favorite show, but Sam Levinson completely destroyed what made it have a soul. The characters don’t feel like themselves anymore everything feels empty, forced, and focused on shock value rather than real emotion !
This season really feels like the project of a man obsessed with his own ego, unable to understand what made the show so powerful in the first place, and more focused on MONEY than telling a real story. Now I understand why you took the work from Petra Collins and other women who actually brought sensitivity, depth, and authenticity to Euphoria during seasons 1 and 2 because without them, Euphoria is NOTHING !!!
I knew I would be disappointed… but this is even worse…
I’m done watching it for good. It’s just absolute TRASH !
release the trish cut
ReplyDeleteIt's funny the reaction of the people 😂
ReplyDeletewe dont care about cassie
ReplyDeleteDon’t understand why that part was even in there.
ReplyDeleteyawn. Kat did it 1st
ReplyDeleteDemasiado innecesario y largo 🥱
ReplyDeleteGuys, listen to the audience. You have a great platform, excellent actors, and you're ruining the story. We DON'T NEED to see Cassie naked in every episode. It feels more like a Cassie and Nate porn novel. You're throwing the story away. The show is suffering because of you.
ReplyDeleteyall deserve jail time for subjecting me to that ❤️
ReplyDeleteThis season Just sucks 💀
ReplyDeleteIt’s giving lazy!!! And wasn’t the show when it first started in the early 2000s why is it giving off 1970s vibes I’m confused
ReplyDeletetoo much sydney sweeney screen time bruh we dgaf
ReplyDeleteTRASH
ReplyDeleteIf you change this disgusting actress everything will be great
ReplyDelete❤️🔥
ReplyDeleteWhy is 80% of this season focused on Cassie?!
ReplyDeleteJust happy to look a mess
ReplyDeleteit was giving “doin time”
ReplyDeleteIt’s was so ridiculous I fast forwarded that part
ReplyDeleteyeah that entire episode was a JOKE.
ReplyDeletetacky
ReplyDeleteQueen
ReplyDeletewhat even is this show anymore
ReplyDeleteThank you sam lavinson for traumatizing us
ReplyDeletei’m sorry but what the fuck was this
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we're all in agreement
ReplyDeleteI skipped the first 10 minutes of the episode
ReplyDeleteWonderful Sexy Giantess Goddess 😍🥵💦
ReplyDeleteThere's a point where it's artistic taste and there's a point where it's disgusting. This show has gotten to the point where there's so many disgusting scenes. This doesn't feel like the same show. Sam Levinson disappointed. If it doesn't change soon I'm just going to stop watching... I'm sure many others will too. Especially the scene with Cassie dressed up as a baby, that's too far.
ReplyDeleteWorst episode going so far 💀
ReplyDeleteThe absolute worst 10 minutes of my life 😭😂 should’ve just skipped that part tbh felt like I was watching porn😭
ReplyDeleteew
ReplyDeleteSam levinson is just having fun and we have to watch
ReplyDelete3 temporada totalmente decepcionante. Uma cena mais desnecessária que a outra.
ReplyDeleteYou literally rage baited us for no reason fr
ReplyDeleteThe most Cringe Scene ever!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe dumbest shit ever
ReplyDeletegod 💀
ReplyDeleteWhy??? 😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteGet her off my screen 🤣🤣
ReplyDeletelost me there
ReplyDeleteLolol all the hate comments are cracking me up. I am so entertained this season 😂
ReplyDeleteos comentários kkkk
ReplyDeleteuna mierda de episodio
ReplyDeleteSooooo dumb! 💀
ReplyDeleteI thought this scene was super creative. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteNever do that again.
ReplyDeleteThis made my cringe, cringe 😭Also, STOP cutting Nate’s shit off!!!!!
ReplyDeletesam levinson is untalented swine this is the worst written show ive ever seen. how can a show with such shocking content fall so flat
ReplyDeleteSam Levinson’s fantasy.
ReplyDelete😂
ReplyDeleteInstead of that Hollywood sign it should say prdowood because that’s what you’re pushing with your adult dress like a baby well innocent children are being raped murdered and tortured you find this fucking amusing. It’s disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWho writes this shit 😂
ReplyDeleteLiteral straight trash throw the entire season in the garbage i mean literally what the h e double hockey sticks are you people thinking
ReplyDeleteficou ridículo
ReplyDeleteya no me la fumo mas
ReplyDeleteShe got too big for her own good 🤷♀️ we have lost euphoria unfortunately
ReplyDeleteMe van a funar por defender este episodio, pero pienso que esta escena representa lo que muchxs han normalizado, como el "trabajar" en OF y considerarlo empoderamiento. Depronto esa es la incomodidad que le genera a muchos, que le pongan la cruda verdad en la cara así si filtro, como las tts de Cassie.
ReplyDeleteScene was way too long.
ReplyDeleteSo having a giant bitchh killing officers in a police helicopter being aired for minors on tv is a thing now... ofc the people running it are jews
ReplyDeleteThat was the silliest scene in the entire series.
ReplyDeleteLoveeeee herrrrrr
ReplyDelete💀💩🤡
ReplyDelete💀
ReplyDeleterarísima está la temporada..
ReplyDeleteSkipped through this. Cringy. Unnecessary. Pointless. Waste of time for the show. 😪
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to rues asexuality and why do we not see her deal with her mental health anymore? Why is cassie always shown in weird ahh scenarios when all she wanted was someone to love her and not necessarily fame? Why is maddy just cold and doesn't have anything besides business going on? And why is Jules and Lexis story just so boring?
ReplyDeleteThis was cringe AF.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everything in the show now about Cassie...

ReplyDeleteEveryone hating while she making a bag love you Cassie 💋
ReplyDeleteEl peor capítulo de todos 😭
ReplyDeleteHonestly It's getting dull to seen Levine fapping material every f.ing episode
ReplyDeleteThis scene was so unnecessary
ReplyDeletethis pmo
ReplyDeleteNot to mention yall took a 4 year break
ReplyDeleteIt’s 3 more episodes and yall haven’t covered anything 😒
ReplyDeleteGet over Cassie. We don’t want this
ReplyDeleteYou ruined my favorite show
ReplyDeleteAnd we are supposed to believe somehow Cassie is an amazing Shakespearean actress 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this show is soooo 😳😳 now
ReplyDeleteIsreali bull shit ass propaganda
ReplyDeletequesta serie era molto interessante, la stagione numero 3 ha mandato al cesso tutto quanto. Orribile
ReplyDeleteI’m never watching euphoria again after this episode that was overly doing too much AND trisha had a millisecond of screen time💔
ReplyDeleteWhat was this
ReplyDeletethat shit ruined my high
ReplyDeleteThe most unnecessary 10 minutes of the season so far
ReplyDeleteI hate this season… its all about onlyfans 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteBuilding full ginormous sized tits is crazy for that scene and it was uncomfortably long for that to be shown like this guy is obviously a creep and just wants to see tits on screen🤦♀️
