Hey everyone, hope you enjoy part 2!! I had some HUGE issues exporting this and for some reason when it finally worked it removed my fun little edit at the start 😭 so just imagine that there's audio of someone saying "did you miss me" after the intro cuts to the "-A" xxx
Hi mike, I’m so excited to watch this but before I do lemme just say thank you! I can only imagine the amount of work that went into making this. So thank you and happy holidays
loving the implication that A was so dedicated to their craft that they studied anesthesiology and dentistry on the off chance they would need to sedate and/or operate on one of the girls. truly iconic
Not only that the note was printed which implies that either A knew Hanna would search for the dental records and printed it beforehand or (an this is my head cannon now) A just runs around with one of those small label printers and prints all the notes in the moment after having to think about what witty line they want to write. Picture this: Hanna is passed out on the chair while A paces around the room thinking and repeating what they are going to print in the note. Then when they finally got it they input it in the tiny printer and wait while it makes printing sounds. We love a crafty queen.

And this also doesnt include the people she saw before arriving back in rosewood.
Alison is so organised… she handled having 2 identities, multiple friends who had no idea about eachother, she had a romance with every inappropriate men available and lied to them about her age, blackmailed every Rosewood citizen at leat once a day, go to highschool, queerbaited 2 seperate girls, blinded someone and bullied Mona into a personality disorder. Like imagine doing that at 14/15
I will forever be calling him Mr. Chief Crust Lord now. 🤣 Like he really is hella crusty lol. Can’t believe I used to ship Aria and Ezra so hard back when I was a kid/teenager watching this, now I find their relationship disturbing and creepy.
no literally... 12 year old me was more concerned with wanting spoby to be THE ship but now im like... i want ezra in a federal penitentiary... this man is sick in the head...
Meanwhile us Emison fans were fighting for our lives just to have Emily have a rushed weird endgame with Alison and not with Paige. Marlene is a MENACE.
Not even a full day, one NIGHT. She didn’t leave that barn until it was dark out, and by the time the girls woke up I think it was like, around midnight? So she had almost all of her conversations that night between like, 9 pm and midnight. That girl had 3 hours to talk to half of Rosewood.
Also she must have had a binder or folder full of notes on everyone she's blackmailing and lying to. Like how do you keep track of all the blackmail you have on literally everyone you've ever met.
@@pixiexmanic right as if 14 year old Allison had a chokehold on these GROWN MEN but also 14 year old me watching this thought she was so cool and that this was okay🤢rewatching ig I love the show but the relationships make me cringe
You know that Reddit thread “brand new sentence”? Lol I feel like any plot point of this show could be a candidate for that thread like “the liars go to a rage room to smash old China plates, and they see A in a baby doll mask and black hoodie so they decide to take a secret passage to the old mansion and end up at the graves with their names on them” Like that didn’t happen (in that order at least), but tell me that doesn’t sound like something that could’ve absolutely happened in this show lol
@@laurenc4138 I genuinely was like yep… I haven’t seen it in so long and there was so much I totally forgot that I would have just accepted that sentence as fact bc it’s totally something that would happen
@@juliac4974 hahaha right? The crazy thing is all of that happened just not in that order (I don’t think at least but who knows that show was insane) lmao
When I heard that line, I was doing the dishes in the kitchen and I shrieked so loud that my boyfriend heard it from the bedroom and thought something bad had happened lmaoo
This has the vibe of a drunk girl explaining her friend group interpersonal drama in a bar bathroom at 3am and you can't leave cuz she might vomit into her own lungs and also you have to figure out who ends up dating who.
Alison’s character is truly an amazing multitasker because she had enough time to juggle multiple men, blackmail and torture many, many people and was able to go on the run whilst coming back to rosewood periodically to visit her friends whilst staying undetected and she still had enough time to graduate high school and become a teacher even tho she missed most of it. Ah Marlene…
As someone who had a pregnancy scare at 14 and when I told the guy he told me I was a lying whore and threatened me not to tell anyone - can confirm very dark 🙃 (PS I'm a trans man hence the name Adam but almost getting gregnant)
she was a menace but she was a very productive menace who managed to mess with everyone even at her worst I want to be like that someday minus all the murder and blackmail lol
@@aaliyahgriffin781 That "redemption" ark never made sense to me. Someone THAT chaotic doesn't just turn into a full-on church going soccer mom at the drop of a hat. It's like they shot her personality in the head to make her "good".
it would also cover aria being mostly safe if they wanted to not make her A after all but i guess azria or whatever was too important than to make a satisfying plot
it would make sense for why Spencer was getting so much shit, it perfectly explains Alison's disappearance, and it doesn't even have to stop the show. There was so much potential from that plot point
The fact that Ezra knew she was 15 years old should have been the nail in his coffin the fact that they made him “come back” from that should be worthy of jail time
@@stuffwithsoph8264 she was 16 but he did sleep with her when he was her teacher, which is illegal in pennsylvania because he had a position of authority over her.
Honestly, Ezra being A made perfect sense when you see everything he did so far up until his reveal. The man had all the motives in the world to drive Allison out of Rosewood, kill people who knew his secret so they don't find out he dated minors, etc. The show should've ended at that. Idk why the continued it afterward, especially since none of the reveals after him make sense.
The horror of this not exporting was almost as horrible as the thought of my ex English teacher showing up shirtless on my staircase during Christmas morning
Also yes I did change my channel layout just because these videos reminded me how iconic the original posters of the series are-thank you Microphone of Mike
the duality of me being like “i can’t believe i wasted 7 years of my life watching pretty little liars” and also gobbling up PLL videos even years after the finale aired
Haha same, this came out when I started high school and I was obsessed with the first few seasons, stopped watching cause it got insane, and then binge watched to catch up and heavily got back into it the last couple seasons because I was an adult at that point and loved for how absurdly dumb it was, half the plot lines make no sense and go nowhere, the ending and “big a” reveal was horrible, the girls made the literal dumbest decisions at every single possible turn, but man I love this trash fire of a show and will watch anyone’s insane ramblings about it when I see them. There was a girl that worked for buzzfeed that had this series for the last couple seasons called like “100 thoughts I had while watching PLL season blah blah” and it was amazing. I highly suggest looking them up and rewatching the episodes she made them about when you have a couple hours to kill because they’re phenomenal, one of the only funny and original things buzzfeed ever produced, they’re perfection. My sister and I started rereading them recently and it was just as funny as the first time
After all this…the pure AUDACITY OF Ezra’s character is only made worse. You’re telling me he decided to CASH IN on the story of the disappearance of the underage girl he found out he was dating. And then DATE another one of her underage friends in pursuit of that. Forget prison. Just send him straight to hell.
I absolutely 100% agree. If i was Aria there would be NO WAY in hell i would be able to ever trust him again bc it’ll always be in the back of my head that he’s using ne for some story
Ugh the fact he tries to cover it up with “she told me she was in college!” Bro. Alison is for sure the type of girls to lie about her age all the time to ruin mens life (grammar is shit here, I’m sick with covid leave me alone) but no one would believe Alison is college age. No one. The only way you’d believe that is if you WANTED TO. which is why we knew he knew how old Aria was old and just lied about believing she was college age. He is DISGUSTING. didn’t he also cash in on Nicole’s story the girl who got kidnapped… he’s straight up manipulative and garbage.
Also the whole family went on a sabbatical to freaking Iceland for a year. They packed up the house and went to a whole nother continent for a year because Byron had an affair. The international moving cost (x2) alone puts them in another tax bracket. They moved a whole 3+ bedroom home from Pennsylvania to Iceland and back again. My broke ass can't even move to the state right next to me.
@wildboywifey6485 AND still had their house when they got back, which means either it's paid off or they were paying the mortgage while on sabby. They don't know poor lol
I honestly can't wait to see the reactions when it happens. Honestly the DiLaurentis family (and other associated/related humans) really really needed a lot of therapy, someone to slap sense into them, and a lot more.
I've been thinking about how I'd rank severity: Aria had sex with her teacher [can ruin both their lives] Spencer was addicted to speed [can ruin her life] Emily's gay [isn't bad itself but could ruin her life bc of others] Hannah used to be fat [I think her struggle with an ED was supposed to be the focus but this is more fun]
Genuine question: didn't Hannah grow up in Rosewood and the majority of the characters knew her before she lost weight? Like on top of it not being a shameful secret, is it even a secret to begin with lol?
@@jennatodd4664 that might be what makes it so funny lmaooo. Also what has me thinking it's more about her struggle with an eating disorder than her weight itself
I hate all the retcons and inconsistencies in PLL. You can tell the writers didn't have a plan of who A was after the Mona reveal and kept changing their minds. I hate the inconsistencies. Take Ezra for example, they clearly retconed that he was writing a book about Ally so thats why he started going out with Aria. I really don't think the writers decided that until season 4 when he started acting shady and controlling. And he continued to be like that at the start of season 5. Then you can clearly tell the writers decided not to make him A so they had him drop the shady and controlling behaviour and act more like he used to in earlier seasons. The flip-flip in character personalities and plot holes really bother me. PLL was almost amazing, if only the writers had spent more time on the plot to make it more sensicle!
I watched another PLL analysis video and they pointed out that Marlene was trying her god damn best to not do what the fans expected her to. Like, trying to do plot twists to shock the fans. But since the fans were so invested they basically guessed 90% of what would happen next, so instead of rewarding the fans hard work by making those things reality, Marlene said fuck it and invented some new plotlines. And that resulted in PLL's plot and timeline being absolutely fucked. She basically made so many shits up just to answer questions, but those only create more questions instead.
The fact that Ezra and Caleb got shot, Mona fell from a cliff, Cece fell 2 stories, Jason fell down an elevator shaft, Hannah was hit with a car and Jenna was knocked unconscious into a lake yet none of them died. However Shana fell 1m and died is so baffling to me.
@@artemisiakyrell7727 while falling into a deep, tight space full of metal instruments IS dangerous…… Shana literally fell a couple of feet onto almost clear ground💀 literally just popped her head open somehow
If they’d shown her snapping her neck on one of the many hazards that were there that would’ve fixed the scene (although tbh I wish Shana lived instead) but they didn’t
“Pam Fields went from hating the gays to the president of the Frankie Grande Appreciation Club.” “Wayne Fields is in the army - yes he’s a BTS stan.” Gotta love Emily’s parents
@@stuffwithsoph8264 Ashley and Hanna’s relationship is the strongest one of all the parents and children, but I didn’t like Ashley for the first few seasons tbh. Like bestie you need to stop breaking the law then getting mad at your daughter for being like “mom stop breaking the law”
@@keghan4824 true, but hanna did make the mess and ashley was trying to clean it up, even if it was not ethical and not her fault wilden is a nonce and a wrongin
One month ago, the phrase "Ezra Fitz is both A and Board Shorts" would have meant nothing to me. But when I heard that I was on the floor, screaming and crying.
she was so messy the whole time but I love that Melissa was secretly ride or die for Spencer... like yes they fight all the time but Melissa saw a dead body and thought Spencer was a murderer and said okay guess I'm burying this girlie tonight. only the real ones xoxox
I've thought about this so often. a lot of her motivations were about protecting Spencer from the messy things that got Spencer into the Hastings family. and I love that the show let them end at a good place.
Him explaining the whole Ravenswood spin-off show and then saying "The town did a deal with the devil and then one town over the girls are like oh my god guys I just got a text" had me in tears!!
Honestly, with all the relationships, flashbacks of situation-ships, cheating (including parents), and Spaleb, this whole show is giving Love Island. The Girls can’t stay single for an entire episode. Sounds like a dating game show to me. They added in stalkers, murder, and sleuthing to make it extra spicy
this whole show is the liars fighting for their lives going through traumatic things and aria just facing the consequences of her own actions and blaming it on A
Yeah, the master A reveal at the end was so so so stupid, it should’ve been aria and I feel like they teased that because aria always acted like the good girl of the group, but did a lot of “out of character” stuff for her, I feel like they were planning that but so many people caught on to it, they basically changed it in the end for shock value, but like, it’s not shocking if it’s someone no one knew/was made up last second. I figured it out like a season early and said “i swear if this is who they make Mega A I’m going to break the tv” lol
After all the fuss about Ashley and the lasagna box (and having seen this show zero times), it has taken me 3 full plot breakdown watches to realize Ted is a *pastor* and not some shady dude supplying the money in the box being jokingly referred to as "pasta Ted".
I firmly believe that the liars had the time stone before doctor strange did. They were definitely manipulating time before the MCU ever did it because there’s no way that s3-5 took place in 6 weeks 😭
Actually, we already knew it was a supernatural show since there's no way they go to school and do all the shit that they do, so calendar manipulation isn't that far off.
Honestly, Ezra being A (or at least a major player in the A Team) would’ve been such a good reveal. It would’ve made sense bc of all the shady shit he’s done, but it would’ve also been satisfying to see his predator ass arrested for good
Exactly and then Aria could've had a much more interesting character arc. One example is an arc where she reflects and heals from being groomed. Could've helped to build her relationship with friends and family and people could (unfortunately) relate to that and it could help people to realize they're being groomed.
@@MxrmGxrl4 Yeah, honestly, Aria was always my favorite but, she has so much wasted potential. It's genuinely frustrating looking back on it through a different perspective
After you recover from this series, may I request an equally unhinged layout of your Aria is A theories? (Where they planted seeds, where you thought they were leading at the time, where you wish they had led? etc?)
I hope he does. In my heart Aria is A and the writers decided to change it cuz people were catching on. I still think about that scene where Eddie asks if they had met before and she was acting shady about it.
I am SHOCKED you didn’t mention that Aria’s karate boyfriend had knives in his punching bag after he exposed Ezra, and that is the LAST TIME WE SEE HIM AND IT IS NEVER EXPLAINED
the amount of incest in this show is not a lot per se but definitely more than you’d expect. it’s only rivaled by the heinous acts of predation by Preditezra and others.
i still think the most unhinged part of this show was how none of the adults ever addressed how mentally ill all of the liars must be. like they got them one therapist for a few weeks and just assumed they'd all be fine after that as if they weren't literally hardcore stalked for a year. even worse for alison. completely INSANE behaviour from every adult on this show
Byron getting the information of A being back into the girls life and going "ok lets go" is everything we need to know about the liars parents Edit: I just realize that I wrote now and not know, sorry
I mean... It is pretty normal to me. I have talked about suicide and my family does not give a fuck. I'm alive just because of me, and because I started therapy again, so... Seems normal to me... Sadly.
And 3 of them killed people lol I always thought it was crazy their parents didn’t address this more Like Emily killing nate They bring it up like once that she feels Bad and that’s that 😂
I'm convinced the writers room had a challenge to make either Jason or Melissa look guilty every single time something illegal happened, despite them being innocent 99% of the time. Like seriously every time the girls were suspicious they wouldn't show the actual criminal just Jason or melissa like evil smirking into the camera. GIVE THE SIBLINGS A BREAK.
@@rinisonline4312 Literally! She could've at least been mildly involved with A considering the sheer amount of time she was made to look guilty. It felt like every ten minutes she'd be doing something questionable 💀😭
we do not talk nearly enough about how weird it is that Ezra just starts hanging out with his former students??? like, not even just the liars. He spends time with all the other significant others THAT ARE ALSO IN HIGH SCHOOL?? Does he have ANY adult friends?!
So, wait, Jason not only dated Cece, who is his secret sister (?) but as a member of the NAT club, he took Compromising Photographs of *two* of his other half-sisters?
i’m convinced he was lying about the photos of aria sleeping being alison’s, between being part of the club and trying to get with her later homeboy is mega sus
Mona surviving a fall off of a cliff but shauna DWORDING a 3-6 ft fall into an orchestra pit is honestly icon writing. Truly serving us living thru an 8 car pile up and being kworded in a small fender bender
@@mutedmockingbird Wait, is that legit? I don't watch the show really. Was there a particular season that used that music or is it the same music throughout every season's elimination?
@@ruthannewhitney Every season of Survivor has a different opening theme but they're all mostly just reinterpretations of the same base song but for the region. Each one still has the oweeoweeo bit in it though! There's a survivor themes compilation on yt you can hear it in.
After part 3 I think a cool part 4 would be amazing of you doing a “what if” (basically theories of how plot holes could have been fixed or made sense and who A should’ve been at the end of the show)
@@ashikjaman1940 there’s a great podcast about the book called Lolita Podcast. It gives a breakdown of the plot in one of the first few episodes, and a lot of interesting information and analysis of the books cultural impact.
The Cape May/Georgia/Ian/Wilden/Cece/Melissa/Ezra timeline always was so confusing to me. Alison truly was the master of multitasking because she was doing all that while also dealing with the whole Bethany arc plus also seeing multiple men and dealing with Melissa AND A's texts, the Jenna thing, and all the secrets, blackmail, and videos back in Rosewood and so much more. HOW?!?
So I not only did I watch all of Pretty Little Liars as it came out, but I have also watched both of your videos now (part 1 multiple times) and many other analysis/summary videos of the show, and I still could not explain the plot of PLL if you put a gun to my head. You know that one viral video of that guy doing a drive-by spoiler of Harry Potter? Imagine trying to do that with any A reveal, you would have to park your car, get out, draw labeled charts in the sand, and the person you were talking to would still be like “wait who’s Alex again???” Not only is it impossible to understand, it PUNISHES you for attempting to understand it. It laughs in your face for trying. There’s so much about the show that runs the gambit from uncanny to straight up bad: the fact that these highschoolers are played by actresses styled like 25 year old models who live in perfectly staged HGTV mansions, the constant glorification of underage girls dating adult men, the nonsensical timeline, the terrible character writing, the glossing over of every serious topic from addiction and eating disorders to flat out murder, and yet I cannot hate it. I cannot love it either. How could I form strong opinions about something I can barely even retain? It’s like an odd dream that feels kind of familiar, but the moment you open your eyes you realize you could never put it into words and even if you could it wouldn’t make sense to anyone who wasn’t in the dream with you. You just had to be there. It is now just an amorphous, nostalgic blob that took up space in our brains from 2010-2017. But I wonder, is this not the hallmark of a surrealist masterpiece? Is it not Un Chien Andalou? Something so incomprehensible that it makes you question not whether it was “good” or “bad” but what “it” was at all? Are these not needlessly binary, human constructed categories? Do you feel them crumbling in your mind’s eye yet? PLL is not good or bad, it simply IS. Attempting to comprehend it was our first mistake. Embrace absurdity and you will finally be free. 8 out of 10
As a person who watched all 7 seasons of Pretty Little Liars as they aired from 2010-2017, had the show be a pivotal part of who I am while I was growing up as a teen, and also have watched/read any & every analysis/summary about the show, this entirely identifies exactly how I feel about PLL!!!! While the plot had so much potential at the very start, the show quickly had serious issues with storylines & plot holes. Nothing is even cohesive about PLL but the only reason I managed to watch it to the end & still not hate it is bc of the characters who I feel like I grew up with & am connected to.
This is hands down the best description I’ve ever seen describing exactly how I feel about Pretty Little Liars!!! I absolutely agree with every single point you made about this impossible show!!
For whatever reason, out of all of the ridiculous things to happen within these recaps, absolutely nothing even came close to making me roll my eyes harder than the block reveal lol.
The Tippi tune/phone number plot points would actually be funny in a modern show where an older character is the one who figures it out because the high schooler main characters have never used a touch phone in their lives
genuinely don't get how aria married the man who slept with her best friend at 14 scared her enough to need to hide her identity and runaway and stalked aria just to get to find her FOR READING MATERIAL?????????????????
hate their relationship and ezra's character, but ezra didn't sleep with Ali at 14, that was that detective guy what's his name. That's also when Ali got the pregnancy scare

This has the vibe of a drunk girl explaining her friend group interpersonal drama in a bar bathroom at 3am and you can't leave cuz she might vomit into her own lungs and also you have to figure out who ends up dating who.
totally!!
exactly. its a clusterfuck of insane information but i just cant leave
I’m gonna start printing out random tweets and RUclips comments that I think are hilarious to put on my wall. And this one will be one of the first🤣🤣🤣
Yes! But like you entered the bathroom with your friend and now she has finished peeing but now you're both trapped at this dramatic reading 😭
And you want to ask her where she got her top when she comes up for air.
Alison’s character is truly an amazing multitasker because she had enough time to juggle multiple men, blackmail and torture many, many people and was able to go on the run whilst coming back to rosewood periodically to visit her friends whilst staying undetected and she still had enough time to graduate high school and become a teacher even tho she missed most of it. Ah Marlene…

she was a menace but she was a very productive menace who managed to mess with everyone even at her worst I want to be like that someday minus all the murder and blackmail lol
Pure gaslight gatekeep girlboss energy that one
Which is why her redemption arc is so lame and boring
She was probably a menace because she's a victim of grooming
@@aaliyahgriffin781 That "redemption" ark never made sense to me. Someone THAT chaotic doesn't just turn into a full-on church going soccer mom at the drop of a hat. It's like they shot her personality in the head to make her "good".
i still think that ezra being A is the best and most satisfying reveal in the entire show and I'm still legit so mad about it being a red herring!!
it would also cover aria being mostly safe if they wanted to not make her A after all but i guess azria or whatever was too important than to make a satisfying plot
I never watched PLL but I literally thought he would be Big A after the first video recap Mike made lol
it would make sense for why Spencer was getting so much shit, it perfectly explains Alison's disappearance, and it doesn't even have to stop the show. There was so much potential from that plot point
The fact that Ezra knew she was 15 years old should have been the nail in his coffin the fact that they made him “come back” from that should be worthy of jail time
not that this makes it okay but Aria was 16 which im pretty sure is the age of consent in pensilvanya(?)
@@stuffwithsoph8264 she was 16 but he did sleep with her when he was her teacher, which is illegal in pennsylvania because he had a position of authority over her.

Honestly, Ezra being A made perfect sense when you see everything he did so far up until his reveal. The man had all the motives in the world to drive Allison out of Rosewood, kill people who knew his secret so they don't find out he dated minors, etc.
The show should've ended at that. Idk why the continued it afterward, especially since none of the reveals after him make sense.

sunk cost fallacy
Haha same, this came out when I started high school and I was obsessed with the first few seasons, stopped watching cause it got insane, and then binge watched to catch up and heavily got back into it the last couple seasons because I was an adult at that point and loved for how absurdly dumb it was, half the plot lines make no sense and go nowhere, the ending and “big a” reveal was horrible, the girls made the literal dumbest decisions at every single possible turn, but man I love this trash fire of a show and will watch anyone’s insane ramblings about it when I see them.
There was a girl that worked for buzzfeed that had this series for the last couple seasons called like “100 thoughts I had while watching PLL season blah blah” and it was amazing. I highly suggest looking them up and rewatching the episodes she made them about when you have a couple hours to kill because they’re phenomenal, one of the only funny and original things buzzfeed ever produced, they’re perfection. My sister and I started rereading them recently and it was just as funny as the first time
“Cars don’t float if they did pilgrims would have driven here” is poetry
After all this…the pure AUDACITY OF Ezra’s character is only made worse. You’re telling me he decided to CASH IN on the story of the disappearance of the underage girl he found out he was dating. And then DATE another one of her underage friends in pursuit of that. Forget prison. Just send him straight to hell.
I absolutely 100% agree. If i was Aria there would be NO WAY in hell i would be able to ever trust him again bc it’ll always be in the back of my head that he’s using ne for some story
to be fair knowing old yt guys in literature he would get away with it for a couple years by just saying it’s fiction
“He won’t see heaven”
Ugh the fact he tries to cover it up with “she told me she was in college!” Bro. Alison is for sure the type of girls to lie about her age all the time to ruin mens life (grammar is shit here, I’m sick with covid leave me alone) but no one would believe Alison is college age. No one. The only way you’d believe that is if you WANTED TO. which is why we knew he knew how old Aria was old and just lied about believing she was college age. He is DISGUSTING. didn’t he also cash in on Nicole’s story the girl who got kidnapped… he’s straight up manipulative and garbage.
God it’s laughable that Aria was “poor.” She lived in a gorgeous Victorian house, both of her parents worked, one of whom as a college professor.
Also the whole family went on a sabbatical to freaking Iceland for a year. They packed up the house and went to a whole nother continent for a year because Byron had an affair. The international moving cost (x2) alone puts them in another tax bracket. They moved a whole 3+ bedroom home from Pennsylvania to Iceland and back again. My broke ass can't even move to the state right next to me.

I honestly can't wait to see the reactions when it happens. Honestly the DiLaurentis family (and other associated/related humans) really really needed a lot of therapy, someone to slap sense into them, and a lot more.

Hannah used to be fat [I think her struggle with an ED was supposed to be the focus but this is more fun]

You can tell he was supposed to be A and sometime after the reveal, they got cold feet.
I hate all the retcons and inconsistencies in PLL. You can tell the writers didn't have a plan of who A was after the Mona reveal and kept changing their minds.
I hate the inconsistencies. Take Ezra for example, they clearly retconed that he was writing a book about Ally so thats why he started going out with Aria. I really don't think the writers decided that until season 4 when he started acting shady and controlling. And he continued to be like that at the start of season 5. Then you can clearly tell the writers decided not to make him A so they had him drop the shady and controlling behaviour and act more like he used to in earlier seasons.
The flip-flip in character personalities and plot holes really bother me. PLL was almost amazing, if only the writers had spent more time on the plot to make it more sensicle!

“there are a few continuity errors but we’re going to ignore them” is the whole plot of pll. i genuinely think marlene was winging it every episode.
She should've hired Mike to help out
I watched another PLL analysis video and they pointed out that Marlene was trying her god damn best to not do what the fans expected her to. Like, trying to do plot twists to shock the fans.
But since the fans were so invested they basically guessed 90% of what would happen next, so instead of rewarding the fans hard work by making those things reality, Marlene said fuck it and invented some new plotlines. And that resulted in PLL's plot and timeline being absolutely fucked. She basically made so many shits up just to answer questions, but those only create more questions instead.
I think she was also on some serious drugs 🤣
@@rizatusz8163 seriously the worst way to write
The fact that Ezra and Caleb got shot, Mona fell from a cliff, Cece fell 2 stories, Jason fell down an elevator shaft, Hannah was hit with a car and Jenna was knocked unconscious into a lake yet none of them died. However Shana fell 1m and died is so baffling to me.

Exactly and then Aria could've had a much more interesting character arc. One example is an arc where she reflects and heals from being groomed. Could've helped to build her relationship with friends and family and people could (unfortunately) relate to that and it could help people to realize they're being groomed.

The night Ali disappeared was literally just a meet and greet for the local gaslighting gatekeeping girlboss, Ali.
i still think the most unhinged part of this show was how none of the adults ever addressed how mentally ill all of the liars must be. like they got them one therapist for a few weeks and just assumed they'd all be fine after that as if they weren't literally hardcore stalked for a year. even worse for alison. completely INSANE behaviour from every adult on this show
Byron getting the information of A being back into the girls life and going "ok lets go" is everything we need to know about the liars parents
Edit: I just realize that I wrote now and not know, sorry
I mean... It is pretty normal to me. I have talked about suicide and my family does not give a fuck. I'm alive just because of me, and because I started therapy again, so... Seems normal to me... Sadly.

Crazy thing is we never go back to the Aria photo shed, it’s never brought up to Alison to confirm
did he not also date melissa hastings? so another half sister???
@@catesterhuyse8816 incest speedrun any%
At this point I'm willing to believe Mike is A bc who else could keep track of these absolutely ridiculous plot lines
That’d make more sense than who they made A the other times
“All the girls used to have really intense secrets:
Spencer was addicted to speed
Emily is gay
Aria slept with her teacher
And Hanna Was fat”
😃
I was 3 out of 4 of these girls!
@@EmeraldLavigne same 😳
@@EmeraldLavigne please tell me you didn't sleep with a teacher
Didn’t she have an eating disorder tho?
Well the biggest thing in the story that a is blackmailing her for involves her mom and stealing
You can feel how his energy goes away every time he start a sentence with "Toby is back and....." LMFAOOOO
Mona surviving a fall off of a cliff but shauna DWORDING a 3-6 ft fall into an orchestra pit is honestly icon writing. Truly serving us living thru an 8 car pile up and being kworded in a small fender bender
*dieing *killed
if ur gonna censor urself like this just never talk again
@@ketaminepoptarts if you're gonna correct someone like this just never talk again
It's dying* btw 😊
Clearly Mona's just built different
the “oweeooweoo” every time someone dies is so fucking funny 😭
Iconic
Honestly the Survivor theme music like they'd been voted out instead of killed kills me every time.
@@mutedmockingbird wait omg that's what it is??? I've been wondering ever since part 1 😭
@@mutedmockingbird Wait, is that legit? I don't watch the show really. Was there a particular season that used that music or is it the same music throughout every season's elimination?
@@ruthannewhitney Every season of Survivor has a different opening theme but they're all mostly just reinterpretations of the same base song but for the region. Each one still has the oweeoweeo bit in it though! There's a survivor themes compilation on yt you can hear it in.
After part 3 I think a cool part 4 would be amazing of you doing a “what if” (basically theories of how plot holes could have been fixed or made sense and who A should’ve been at the end of the show)
THIS 💯. Period. Deadass
Loveee this
A should have been Wren, it literally made so much sense. There were so many clues pointing to him. 😭
@@ivannamadden3416 LITERALLY the whole “nosey bitches die” thing i’m DONE
We were truly robbed of a Tippi and Pepe crossover episode bc their joint slay would destroy the show
They would be too powerful. They would solve everything in one episode, marlene could not let that happen
i remember watching the ezra is board shorts reveal. the shock, the drama, the absolute tomfoolery. i had never felt more betrayed in my life
I legit cried
TOM! FOOLERY!
i was already dead at the "he looks like the eagle from the muppets. not a drag just an observation" but the rest of the video killed me further
“It’s so fun if you ignore how dumb it is” that seems like the general theme of the show lol
Why did Ezra need traffic light changing software to write a book?
Always thought about this
theatrics
Ezra is a monumental creep and I bet you he’s the reason Allison had a copy of Lolita.
yeah he gives me huge teacher of 'being lolita' vibes, that book is disturbing af and exactly how i imagine ezra as a person
omg excellent analysis
@@nostradamus1162 I can kinda guess based on the title but what's that book about?
@@ashikjaman1940 there’s a great podcast about the book called Lolita Podcast. It gives a breakdown of the plot in one of the first few episodes, and a lot of interesting information and analysis of the books cultural impact.
@@chickadee812 wait is "Being Lolita" not a book? I know what "Lolita" itself is.
The Cape May/Georgia/Ian/Wilden/Cece/Melissa/Ezra timeline always was so confusing to me. Alison truly was the master of multitasking because she was doing all that while also dealing with the whole Bethany arc plus also seeing multiple men and dealing with Melissa AND A's texts, the Jenna thing, and all the secrets, blackmail, and videos back in Rosewood and so much more. HOW?!?
i STILL fail to understand the whole cape may thing
all while being like 14 years old
@@leylines222 she was a true menace
So I not only did I watch all of Pretty Little Liars as it came out, but I have also watched both of your videos now (part 1 multiple times) and many other analysis/summary videos of the show, and I still could not explain the plot of PLL if you put a gun to my head. You know that one viral video of that guy doing a drive-by spoiler of Harry Potter? Imagine trying to do that with any A reveal, you would have to park your car, get out, draw labeled charts in the sand, and the person you were talking to would still be like “wait who’s Alex again???” Not only is it impossible to understand, it PUNISHES you for attempting to understand it. It laughs in your face for trying. There’s so much about the show that runs the gambit from uncanny to straight up bad: the fact that these highschoolers are played by actresses styled like 25 year old models who live in perfectly staged HGTV mansions, the constant glorification of underage girls dating adult men, the nonsensical timeline, the terrible character writing, the glossing over of every serious topic from addiction and eating disorders to flat out murder, and yet I cannot hate it. I cannot love it either. How could I form strong opinions about something I can barely even retain? It’s like an odd dream that feels kind of familiar, but the moment you open your eyes you realize you could never put it into words and even if you could it wouldn’t make sense to anyone who wasn’t in the dream with you. You just had to be there. It is now just an amorphous, nostalgic blob that took up space in our brains from 2010-2017. But I wonder, is this not the hallmark of a surrealist masterpiece? Is it not Un Chien Andalou? Something so incomprehensible that it makes you question not whether it was “good” or “bad” but what “it” was at all? Are these not needlessly binary, human constructed categories? Do you feel them crumbling in your mind’s eye yet? PLL is not good or bad, it simply IS. Attempting to comprehend it was our first mistake. Embrace absurdity and you will finally be free. 8 out of 10
wow bestie nail on the head here
As a person who watched all 7 seasons of Pretty Little Liars as they aired from 2010-2017, had the show be a pivotal part of who I am while I was growing up as a teen, and also have watched/read any & every analysis/summary about the show, this entirely identifies exactly how I feel about PLL!!!! While the plot had so much potential at the very start, the show quickly had serious issues with storylines & plot holes. Nothing is even cohesive about PLL but the only reason I managed to watch it to the end & still not hate it is bc of the characters who I feel like I grew up with & am connected to.
This is hands down the best description I’ve ever seen describing exactly how I feel about Pretty Little Liars!!! I absolutely agree with every single point you made about this impossible show!!
this comment makes me genuinely cry. beautiful.
i just know you got As on all your essays
Spencer rearranging the Charles blocks in her head is far more ridiculous than her figuring out the Tippi tune is a phone number lmao
For whatever reason, out of all of the ridiculous things to happen within these recaps, absolutely nothing even came close to making me roll my eyes harder than the block reveal lol.
The Tippi tune/phone number plot points would actually be funny in a modern show where an older character is the one who figures it out because the high schooler main characters have never used a touch phone in their lives
Not really the block thing is like Wordscapes lol the bird thing ridiculous tho
genuinely don't get how aria married the man who slept with her best friend at 14 scared her enough to need to hide her identity and runaway and stalked aria just to get to find her FOR READING MATERIAL?????????????????
hate their relationship and ezra's character, but ezra didn't sleep with Ali at 14, that was that detective guy what's his name. That's also when Ali got the pregnancy scare
