Twitter fans enraged at Sam Levinson for pivotal season 2 ending of Euphoria

The audience witnessed the second act of Lexi's play in Sunday night's conclusion, titled "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name."

As Cassie marched onstage to give Lexi a piece of her mind, the fourth wall was shattered, resulting in a full-fledged brawl with Maddy and Kat.

Fezco was inadvertently shot by Ashtray during an explosive sequence involving a SWAT raid, prompting Ash to kill himself.

Meanwhile, Nate decides to report his father, Cal, to the authorities for child pornography, while Rue and Jules finally speak after Rue's intervention.

While there are still many unresolved questions about Rue and the other East Highland youngsters, Levinson's decision to kill Ashtray has taken Twitter by storm.

Fans couldn't contain their dismay at how cruelly Sam Levinson decided to write off a character who was so young and would do anything to protect his brother Fezco.

Just for the sake of worthwhile drama, fans on Twitter have unanimously declared that they are not here for this slaughter.

While shots of Maddie, Cassie and other scenes from the show have been making the rounds, fans have taken to new measures to further propagate their anger.

Fans are heartbroken and not ready to bid Ashtray farewell just yet. They have taken to virtually threatening the director and writer of Euphoria since he hasn't decided to alter the end of the climax of season 2, despite previous requests from fans on social media not to harm the brothers.

One particular meme that has taken Twitter by storm is that of Nate threatening Maddie with a gun pointed at her head. Fans are recollecting a similar emotion in Sam Levinson, whose writing has added this unnecessarily heartbreaking tragedy to an otherwise multifaceted teen drama.

Euphoria has been renewed for a third season, which will reportedly air in 2024.
