The soap opera “Mania de you” It debuted in September 2024 with the promise of being a plot with a core of beautiful young protagonists, with novels, intrigue, revenge and couples exchanges, all in a paradise setting on Costa Verde, in Angra dos Reis, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
But all this was not enough to hold the public in front of television, and the production came to an end on Friday (28)-see all the outcomes of the last chapter-accumulating a feature of queue of line scenes that contradicted logic common sense and surprised even fans of the author João Emanuel Carneiro .
The first phase of the soap opera – which passed ten years before the current – caught the public’s attention: the scenes and the story, which had the proposal of a plot twist per chapter, viralized on social networks. But when the years passed in the plot, some twists were poorly reverberated by the audience.
Here are some examples of moments when “Mania de you” subverted expectations.
Crime without explanation
Before the time’s time of the soap opera, Molina (Rodrigo Lombardi) had been “murdered” in a room where she had the lights off. Mavi (Chay Suede) allegedly would have hit his father’s chest in a completely dark atmosphere. Not only did he show a perfect sight, he managed to hit the businessman while he fought physically with Rudá (Nicolas Prattes).
Then the fisherman was incriminated by a crime that had four other witnesses in the environment. This aroused questions never answered: Was the testimony of any of these people valid? Did the weapon of the alleged crime that would have killed Molina had other fingerprints?
Human trafficking with freedoms
When Rudá fled to Portugal, he was forced to work in a prostitution nightclub and only managed to escape when he was helped by Filipa (Joana de Verona). Then it was the turn of Michele (Alanis Guillen) and Cristiano (Bruno Montaleone) to fall in the same blow to the job opportunity abroad, but they had no cleverness.
The couple circulated by Lisbon sights, walked quietly through the streets, even though they know that they were in a mess. The pair was the target of threats from a drug dealer: if they went to the police and explained what happened, they would immediately deported as they were illegal in the country.
The two always said “but the trafficker is with our passports.” But then, why not make a police report, appeal to the Brazilian consulate or seek any other help, since the couple was not watched full time?
Lady’s apathy
Luma (Agatha Moreira) took a MAVI blow, with whom he had been legally married. He stole her all millionaire fortune, left her in misery, and she didn’t look for the boy for ten years. He didn’t even report the case to the police. If she already had her ex-husband’s full name, what would she lose in bringing all data to the authorities to recover her assets?
The girl only decided to react when she saw the old best friend, Viola (Gabz), in a culinary reality and went to ask her a job. So far, that’s fine! It’s time to raise your head, but who loses a fortune and is quiet about it? The soap opera could not clarify what motivated the girl’s apathy for so long after suffering such a hard blow.
Isis, the villain submissive to blackmail
Isis (Mariana Ximenes) managed to kill her own husband with the help of her lover, Guto (Allan Souza Lima), and was blackmailed by him. After Berta (Eliane Giardini) killed him, she began to be extorted by Leidi (Thalita Carauta) and her family. But, with so many resources available, what prevented the villain from ending the rival’s threats? Another question that was left unanswered.
Repeated deaths
Volney (Fabio Rocha) found that Molina was alive after following Mercia (Adriana Esteves) to the boat where he was staying. When he went to face the villain, he was doped, thrown into the sea still alive and drowned.
Iberê (Jaffar Bambirra) had a very similar end. He traveled to Switzerland to discover something about the mysterious Julius Eyer, realized that he was actually Molina and was threatened by Mercia. So far, that’s fine. The problem was when Rudá’s brother decided to tell the whole truth. He could have fled or hidden somewhere, but it was flag, was doped, placed in a box, thrown in the sea still alive and drowned. But we hadn’t seen this scene anymore?
Where’s the zon?
Since stole Luma’s money, Mavi has built an artificial intelligence that gave all the answers that the entrepreneur wanted: since “where is it guitar?” “Show me all resort cameras.” Zon was a tool that had an answer to everything. But at the end of the soap opera, AI no longer worked. Everything Mavi wanted to do, he himself had to look, because zon was no longer an option.
Death that was not death
The most emblematic case of a death that did not happen was that of Molina. The businessman was allegedly murdered with two shots by his own son, Mavi, who spent the entire soap opera blaming Rudá for what happened. Suddenly (despite being a turnaround provided by the author), the businessman resurfaced from the ashes and showed that he was very lived. The problem is that there was already a person attached to the false crime.
Luma always said he was very blamed for having chosen to sell Mavi the video that could innocent Rudá of the crime. She was the first to find that Molina was alive, even talked to him in person, and when she could run to the police and resolve this mistake of the past, she chose to make a new deal with the villain. For many people, it was hard to understand.
Another death that did not happen was guitar. After the helicopter accident, the production tried to convince she had died, but the chef took almost a sabbatical year, far from all, to stay away from Mavi, which caused the aircraft drop… But as soon as everyone learned, she returned to live with the cultural canvas staff in the community.
Many new characters
Speaking of cultural canvas, the soap opera brought, without great explanations, many new characters that public part could not even decorate the names, much less their plot. The most striking papers were Rhodes (Leonardo Bittencourt), Marcel (Bukassa Kabengele) and disappeared (Pedro Sol Victorino). The rest, apparently, did not miss.
Other fast characters that appeared just to give a “hi” and disappeared were Walter (Cadu Libonati), Luzia (Dani Barros), Magda (Débora Lamm), Leo Caravelli (Nill Marcondes), Rebeca (Rayssa Bratillieri), Boris (André Abujamra), Douglas (Pierre Baitelli) and Marco (Mumuzinho).
Unusual scenes
Viola was inside a moving helicopter, which was losing his strength because she was out of fuel (detail: the pilot did not say it), amid a strong storm, and decided to jump into the sea before he collided with the stones. The water was not revolted, and she managed to save herself without any scratch.
Another moment that turned meme on social networks was the sequence when Mercia is in the sea with a boring float and begins to sink. Molina rescued her after leaving her a while suffering there. The assembly and the effects used to stag the drowning aroused criticism. The sensation of the audience was that the actors did not record the scenes at the same time and that the images of Adriana Esteves’s character in the sea were not very convincing.
Another scene seen with caveats by the public was the moment when Mércia saved Molina from the hands of the Russian mafia. The henchmen were unable to kill the villain even with him in the sights of a gun, and Mercia arrived as a great heroine to save her partner and put him in a car, while the bad guys stood, looking and, only then, shot.
Another core that caught the attention was focused on the restaurant of the resort of the plot. Both with Luma or Viola, the chef who commanded the place was never in the restaurant. They showed little working and always had something to solve. At the time of guitar, the establishment was awarded, despite the rare appearances of the chef in the kitchen.
