Everything Hidden in the Awkward Season Finale of American Horror Story: Delicate

Twelve seasons behind us, and the challenge American Horror Storymeans to surpass yourself. Moreover, Ryan Murphy’s production has developed an unmistakable style and way of telling stories. So, the last part of the anthology. gentleis, in addition to unusual delivery, also proof fire of its formula. Particularly because it was the first film based on an adaptation. As you may remember, the plot is based on the novel A Delicate State by Danielle Rollins.

Additionally, to support part of the plot, a celebrity was deliberately included, in this case reality TV personality Kim Kardashian. The result is a demonstration that there is much more to AHS than one might think. But beyond that, the series hits its usual potholes again. This time he assumed much more than what he ended up saying.

This is despite the fact that American Horror Story: Delicate, is much better narratively and visually than most of its predecessors. The anthology returns to its mysterious places with a strong focus on the supernatural through a disturbing story. Namely, how the need to be a mother—and the inability to be one—can become an obsession with dark undertones. That among sects, ghostly entities, psychological and even sexual violence, draw a conclusion in reflection on bodily freedom and personal success.

Splash of a brilliant season

Perhaps with such a broad selection of themes, the anthology season finale didn’t live up to all the themes and twists it tried to delve into. Especially when the plot turned the penultimate episode into an exploration of modern greed, unfulfilled desires and the roots of violence. All with a wild past that explored witchcraft, ancient rites and deities, even bloodlust.

But whether it was because of this or because the series ended abruptly due to the writers’ strike, little is known in the findings. Specifically, putting aside its core moral and emotional dilemmas to delve into the most terrifying aspects of its premise. The reason for the ending was a combination of rushing to think about evil and responding as best we could to its loose ends.

To clear some things up, we’ll explain in detail the most confusing elements of the season finale. From the fates of the characters to the unpleasant underlying message it leaves behind. A look at a new phase of the series that marked the current horror genre.

The worst conspiracy theory

After winning her Oscar in the penultimate episode, Anna Alcott (Emma Roberts) goes into labor. Two situations explored during the season are now converging on the same scenario. On the one hand, the heroine suggests that her desire to become a mother is almost as strong as the realization of her marital ambitions. The other, who has almost nothing in his life, is under his control, or at least to the extent that he always assumed.

Finally, her agent, her best friend and decisive influence in her life, was actually an evil being capable of manipulating every aspect around her. Siobhan (Kim Kardashian) appears in the final episode of the season as a vile and cruel creature who leaves behind any pretense to show her intentions. As well as his power, seniority and bloodthirstiness.

But in addition to this revelation, the series quickly makes it clear that every person Anna believed or trusted had dark undertones. From her husband Dex (Matt Czuchry), who is revealed to have cheated on her and dies in a hurry, to Ivy’s (Cara Delevingne) true identity. American Horror Story: Delicate, necessarily completes the subtext surrounding the most important characters.

Provocative premise that doesn’t explore its possibilities

Despite this, the season finale feels short and lacks the depth of previous episodes. Especially after spending time and interest in studying the ancient gods in more depth, immortality and fear of childbirth turned into seasonal monsters.

However, the chapter does not fully answer the most pressing questions – the origin of the Hestia cult, its members, or the reason for their manipulation – but rather focuses on Anna. In her abduction and in her horror, in her birth in the middle of a terrifying and cruel situation. Something that the plot pays attention to and develops with caution. Instead, all of the above is summed up in Siobhan’s dialogue: who admits to controlling Anna since childhood to make her “submissive and complacent.”

Especially since the child she conceives is part of a disturbing genetic mix that turns the newborn into Siobhan’s biological child. But the quick admission of guilt seems unconvincing and somewhat banal. Inevitable, because in the series scenes and episodes are devoted to establishing that the sect of women with supernatural powers has a long and complex history.

Ambivalence of greed and fear

Once Anna manages to give birth, the script’s interest shifts to explaining the baby’s glorious destiny and the sect’s unique purpose. Namely: that Hestia’s devotees will save the world through him from the dominance of patriarchy. It is surprising that such a complex idea turns into a useless parliament that not only leads nowhere, but also reduces the power of the dense atmosphere of the previous chapters.

It’s much worse when the most interesting plot points continue in the middle of the season’s central dilemma. At one point, Ivy is holding the baby and Anna is holding the Oscar statuette she just won. “You hold in your hands what you have chosen. And what did you give up for this,” explains the latter. From this it becomes clear that Anna’s fame and celebrity are the result of a magical pact.

Something becomes clear when Siobhan explains that the cult’s ulterior motive is actually to take advantage of women’s ambitions. Whether to be a mother or to become a recognized figure. The truth is that the wild and ancient magic that the group advises has more to do with what women want—and can’t— than with female dissatisfaction.

In the end, more down-to-earth horror than one might imagine.

One of the most disconcerting revelations of the season is that the child Anna was carrying was actually the result of Siobhan’s eggs. Which becomes even more sinister, if possible, when it is revealed that this is, in turn, Dex’s mother. Which makes it clear that the child is “three quarters of you” and is destined for a great purpose.

But this isn’t fully explained – other than “conquering the world” – and the season ends with Siobhan’s death and Anna’s triumph. She manages to stop her ex-friend from taking the baby and finally gets the satisfaction of being a mother and succeeding in her dreams at the same time.A predictable, bland and flat season finale that promised so much more.
