They never specified that they were broken up and not even 3 days after her talk with Steve, she goes and cheats on the guy. His character completely changed after the last season and is very likeable now and instead, Nancy and Jonathan take his place as my least favourite characters other than Max's brother of course.
shareYes, and Steve emerged as the only character I care about among the three of them.
shareYeah, I thought they were gonna address that. Then again, sometimes teenagers do this sort of thing where they don't really break up so much as they just start seeing other people.
share1. They clearly broke up. Or you can say they were "taking a break" which is not really any different.
2. Was there a ring on her finger? They weren't getting married.
3. She and Jonathan were both drunk.
4. Not like it was with just some random either. Jonathan and her had love for eachother that couldn't be ignored any longer.
When is getting drunk and cheating okay? They never specified a break up or a break in their relationship and since when does being in a relationship but not being married make it okay to cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend?
share1. When is getting drunk and cheating okay?
It wasn't cheating. Sounds like you have limited high-school experiences.
2. They never specified a break up or a break in their relationship and since when does being in a relationship but not being married make it okay to cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend?
What do you mean a break up wasn't specified? When was it specified that they were an exclusive couple in the first place? You inferred that. Use your head and figure it out that they were broken up!
She talked like everything was fine. Steve was all butthurt because she said their relationship was bullshit and she didn't love him. At that point he wasn't talking to her. They were not speaking. He went to her house to bring her flowers but she wasn't home. They still had not talked. How do you not understand they were not talking and therefore on a break.
And please stop being butthurt because Steve got his heart broke. He used Nancy for a piece of ass to start off with and then clowner her all around school saying she was a slut and all.
Sounds like we have different points of view on what cheating is. It has nothing to do with "limited high school experiences".
Normally when a break up happens, its made clear to both parties. Steve even went to Nancy's house to try to work things out after their talk at the school, so clearly he didn't think they were broken up.
I never said I was "butthurt" or that Nancy was a "slut". I said that she cheated on him and it's not an okay in my point of view to do. Sounds to me like you're butthurt that I didn't like something that a character did in a TV SHOW. I don't need to like every character or agree with every action done by every character in any tv show or movie, it comes down to values and ideals and mine just happen not to align with yours or Nancy's and Johnathan's. Is it okay for Nancy and John to like each other? Yes. Can they date? Yes. Can they have sex? Yes and I don't mind any of those things but how things were done between Nancy and Steve left me unsatisfied and it feels like there is still unfinished business, as made clear by Steve staring at her and the end of the final episode. He isn't over things and maybe that is because there isn't any real closure there, she just rebounded to Johnathan.
So, yeah I would like to see it more explored in season 3, maybe just one scene with the two where things are cleared up and we move along but how things were done made me dislike John and Nancy a bit more and I like Steve a lot more than both of them, which is something I wouldn't have said last season.
Again, at what point did it show they were an exclusive couple in the first place? In Season 1 they definitely weren't exclusive. At the end of Season 1 he tries to get her back and apologize for his behavior. Beginning of Season 2 it seems they have made up. But are they this exclusive couple you make them out to be? Nah not really. You're just assuming thats what it was. She says she doesn't love him and their relationship is "bullshit." What does that say to you? Still dating? LOL!!! Learn to read in between the lines buddy.
She moved on from anything she had going on with Steve.
And yea he stared at her at the end because he was heartbroken and fell in love with her. Too bad she was not in love with him...it happens.
You are an absolute idiot with clearly no life experience!
shareSteve told Nancy it was okay. And while he probably wasn't completely okay with it deep down, he wasn't holding a grudge or anything. I think he recognized that they were a mismatched couple from the beginning and that she and Jonathan had a lot more in common. Just another indication that Steve has matured since the beginning of season 1.
shareThis. He literally told her it was ok to be with Jonathan.
I don't think that Steve knew about Nancy sleeping with Jonathan, and that was unquestionably dirty. But he realized at the least that she was "emotionally cheating" on him. You could also tell that Nancy felt guilty about it and perhaps wanted to bring it up, but didn't want to bring it up at time when everybody's lives were at stake.
I guess the impending feelings of a brewing apocalypse sped up Steve's resolve, as normally somebody would be in a lot of pain when making this connection.
It's nothing to do with teenagers being flaky about sleeping around. Plus this was the 80s, casual sex was fine but sleeping around in a relationship brought on a feeling of impending doom (to anyone other than the Billy sociopath types). No one really brushed it off like that slut in the Gilmore Girls.
shareNancy wasn't even that attractive, I couldn't understand why the guys were crazy about her,she looks like she needs to eat a few burgers.
shareHos gonna ho.
shareSteve didn't take her home from the party. If a guy did that back then, he was asking for trouble.
You never leave your date - especially if she is intoxicated.
