    The climax of the movie, the intended twist and real life major point of character break, was literally "they killed their boss and took his place"
    Up untill the end I thought that it was going to be Anabelle lee at least
    But no
    It was the most diluted, non-impactful ending of the whole series
    That, and the literal embodiment of Death saving a bartender and a couple muscle hires, was two points of a very thin, colorless thread

            The point wasn't that they killed their boss. it was about how and why did a deal with the supernatural happen. The entire show has them orchestrating events based on their own wills and intellect but you know at some point they basically made a deal with death.

              I somewhat agree, not every horrible death has to mean gore. The only thing I thought was strange was the mention of them giving him cyanide. It negated the entire terror of being buried alive until you slowly die alone in the dark.

      That wasn't even supposed to be a twist. It was obvious they killed their boss. The point of the scene was to shock us with the cruelty of the murder and explain the jester ghost. I think it works quite well, the boss giving up on hope and not even screaming after being walled in was disturbing.
      Mike Flanagan is expected to include twists in everything he does because of Hill House and Midnight Mass, but Usher didn't really rely on them. Of course people who have come to think twists are essential to Flanagan's show are disappointed. The only real twist Usher has is that Leonore has been dead the whole time, but I'm not even sure if that qualifies.

    Anyone else feel like the old version of Madeline was a genuinely awful choice of actress? She doesn’t match what the character is at all, every time she starts talking about “algorithms” it doesn’t even sound like she is taking the script seriously nonetheless expecting the viewers to believe this grandma stepford wife is a tech genius.

      People change in 40 years. Mary McDonnell portrayed a more mature, less boisterous version of Madeline. She already is where she wants to be, there's no need anymore for her radical go getter attitude. Also Roderick has come into his own, so she doesn't have to single handedly manage everything. But she is still ambitious, still ruthless and still the brain behind Fortunato. I think they did a great job with older Madeline. Also, Mary McDonnell is 71 and still hot.

        She still got easy. All the kids lost everything, were pushed to the brink of insanity and then were given a brutal murder (maybe not the Black person, she stabbed herself in the heart) while Maddie here got tortured a bit, tried to strange her brother and had the house collapse on her.

              It was Madeline's empire too and she too lost her entire family. As multiple other posters have pointed out, she also dies a horrible death. What's more, she never gets to finish her life's work, and the prototype we are shown is completely flawed. Tell me, what should have happened to her in your opinion?

                I already told you, shill-boy. Show it, don't "imply" it. I made the comparison that Raven is Dr Manhattan on her period and Dr Manhattan said:
                >But you, Adrian, you're just a man. The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite.
                Show that, despite all her fight, her fire, her bile, piss and vinegar she is just a woman. Humble her and make it so she finally realizes you can't cheat death. I could have done without the embalming just if you show that the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

          That wasn't the point of them dying. They had to die, that was it. Only Frederick was in some sense punished by The Raven, and nothing happened to Lenore because she was the only one who was good.

                It's why I hate the emotional scene with Leonore. The eldricht thing can see the future, can see all futures if she doesn't intervene but she does for shits and giggles, she created the mountain of corpses of Ligodone but somehow she weeps for a widdle gurl. It's a schitzophrenic Dr Manhattan or just there were too many writers on board.

                Well, there was only 1 child in the entire family (14 is still a kid) but the rest were fricking brutal. Her omniscience keeps flip-flopping, she does say that Freddie would have become a good dentist in his other life implying it was his outcome if his father hadn't made a deal with the raven. She acts surprised that absolute power and obscene amounts of wealth would turn the Ushers into decadent one percenters. What did she expect? That they would turn into trillionaire philantropists? That Roderick would put on a spandex suit and turn into batman? At some points she acts like she has seen it all and at others she acts pissed off that the characters acted like they did. Hell, let's talk about the indian guy: He killed his boyfriend's cat, tried to cover it up, did a shit ton of drugs and was tricked into jumping from a balcony. What was the shit test here? Was the cat even dead? That he had a drug bender, killed a cat and didn't tell his boyfriend? that he tried to cover it up? Imagine that he wakes his bf and tells me:
                >"Honey, I stabbed the puss"
                What then? He would have been given the privilege of getting a heart attack?
                For all the talk about free will in the show there really is none. All the characters were marked for death the moment they appeared on screen . The wishy-washy goddess is just bad writing.

              Lol no. He mutilated her while she was too drugged up to move, just like his son did to his wife when he removed her teeth except this was worse. She then fumbled around in the dark for hours trying to find a way out. She had the longest death scene out of anyone else.

            It was a callback that all women in the Usher family have this inhuman will to live. Like their mother who came back from the dead for a few hours to give them a jumpscare and kill their father.

            She was alive because Roderick was alive. They had to die together. The details don't matter. Roderick should have died from the overdose too, but didn't.

              I know why she didn't die, which is why I said they should have added a scene showing him being interrupted during the burial rights process in order to explain how this well-studied practitioner fricked it up, for story reasons. Instead they used the lazy excuse of
              >Oops I forgot to confirm if she was actually dead, just like I did with our mother when I buried her as a kid

    Given the warnings at the beginning of each episode, I expected way more sex. Was disappointed by the lack cuck queen kino.

    Why did the one nosey sister keep watching the workout videos of her brother-in-law? I know she's supposed to be the one that keeps tabs on everyone but they were public videos that everyone had.

      I forgot about that. I wonder if there was a scene cut out relating to that

      My read was it was mostly that and maybe she just had the hots for her brother in law.

        Every time someone lusts after another person it’s crucial to the plot. It would be pretty weird to just have it be a minor character point for no real reason in this single case

    What an absolutely horrible character, at all ages.
    It's a man's idea of what a strong woman looks like
    >uhm what would I be like if I was a woman?
    >I would be really smart and really hot and not really care about dick or maternal urges and also be a total c**t because that's what being strong is

    More like Walla, am I right? She's kind of ugly. And this show was mediocre. The final two episodes were legitimately bad
