The highly anticipated fifth season of ‘You’ marked the end of
Joe Goldberg
(Penn Badgley), with the twists that churn the guts. However, while the new season has been released, the internet can’t seem to forget the beloved
Love Quinn
(Victoria Pedretti).
What is happening on the internet?
Even after two seasons post-Love’s brutal demise, the netizens have openly debated her storyline. There has been a flood of posts about missing the character, even criticising other characters based on Love’s ideology. Amongst all the ‘You’ from the seasons, the impact of Quinn hasn’t faded. The users have shared posts filled with Love’s edited videos, photos and screenshots of the fifth season, which would have had a ‘bloody’ impact if her character were alive.
Twitter review of 'You Season 5'
One of the users wrote, “love should have killed joe at the end of s3 and taken over the show (sic).”
Another user reminisced, “season 5 of you is out and she remains the best character of that show even two seasons after her death… love quinn you’ll always be remembered (sic).”
A third user expressed, “I’m sorry but Love is the best character that ever happened on You she’s so missing (sic).”
“if love saw them like that with her baby she wouldn't leave a trace of joe and kate. rip love quinn (sic),” another stated.
Another user pointed out that Love and Joe’s child is calling Kate, the love interest, ‘Mom,’ “henry calling kate mom while it shouldve been love (sic)”
“Oh Love Quinn you are so missed (sic)” “I think I miss my wife,” other users mentioned.
After a few posts about missing the character, the users didn’t shy away from highlighting that the end of Joe Goldberg was by a ‘random woman’ when it should’ve been his other half. Furthermore, other fanatics wanted Love’s resurrection, and questioned Joe’s hypocrisy when he expected Kate to accept his darker version and burned the house to the ground when Love was exalted by it.
Who is Love Quinn?
Love Quinn, played by Victoria Pedretti, was introduced to the cinematic realm of 'You' in season 2. Love and Joe met in the fruits and vegetables section at Anavrin, and later, they went from adorable to toxic in a second. With the involvement of a brutal past and a considerately destructive family, the duo got married and were blessed with a child. However, the obsession with 'You' led to the vicious death of Love Quinn, where Joe framed her for his death and for keeping people confined in the glass cube.
While Joe moved on, the netizens did not forget the iconic - Love Quinn.
