Viewers Compare ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ After Spotting Similar Scene

HBO’s “Euphoria” has sparked strong reactions online after its latest episode featured a violent wedding scene that many viewers say reminded them of one of the most famous moments in television history.

According to reactions from viewers on social media platform X, the third episode of season three centers on a wedding between Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi, and Cassie Howard, played by Sydney Sweeney. What starts as a high-profile celebration quickly turns into a brutal situation after the couple returns home from their reception.

In the episode, the newlyweds are ambushed by people linked to Nate’s debts. The situation escalates into violence, with Nate being attacked and injured while Cassie is forced to watch helplessly. The scene ends with extreme brutality, including Nate losing a finger during the attack.

The shocking moment immediately led viewers to compare it to “Game of Thrones,” especially the infamous “Red Wedding” episode, which also featured a wedding turning into a deadly massacre.

Many fans shared their reactions online. One viewer wrote, “Haven’t seen such a disastrous wedding since The Red Wedding.” Another commented, “I thought the red wedding was peak chaotic wedding… then Nate and Cassie said ‘hold my toxic champagne.’”

Others echoed similar thoughts, saying the scene felt like one of the most chaotic wedding moments ever shown on television. Some also brought up other shows like “Succession,” saying they expected a similar style of shocking twist but were still surprised by how far “Euphoria” went.

The episode also briefly shows a reunion between several main characters during the wedding, including Rue, Jules, and Maddy. The event is described as extremely over the top, with expensive decorations and a dramatic atmosphere before everything falls apart.

The episode also included scenes featuring Cal Jacobs, played by Eric Dane. According to HBO, Dane filmed his parts before his death in February after being diagnosed with ALS. He was 53 years old when he passed away.

New episodes of “Euphoria” season three continue to air weekly on HBO and HBO Max.

From a viewer’s point of view, this episode once again shows how “Euphoria” pushes boundaries with its storytelling. The mix of emotional drama and sudden violence keeps dividing audiences, with some finding it gripping and others calling it too extreme.
