Yes aleksander is an amazing character, I actually like show darkling a lot more than book darkling, though darkling in the books is a super interesting character as well, he was the best character in the original grishaverse trilogy in my opinion
@@violet-sb9hx I have read them all, but not happy about how the trilogy ended. I hope they will see the potential and give aleksander a redemption arc.
I'm as obsessed with Darkling as you are, Netflix. I undurstand you. That is alright, because I do too!! Now bring him back on season 2. We need it for, like, now! I'm so in love with the show and for Darkling 😍😍😍😍 I can't wait to see him on season 2!! I'm so excited!!! Please, renew Shadow and Bone.
If i have to support and want the antagonist to win against the protagonist.. General... will be on top of my list. He is really something and make me belive sometime evil can be good.
Actually the best book from the trilogy is the first one. The second one kinda has no plot and the third one is just straight up disappointing. It’s only going downhill from here if they stick to the books :(
@@sakshimaheshwari8683 Ikr I feel like it won't be as good because they're gonna have to make a whole new plot. Season 1 worked because they gave the Crows a backstory and followed S&B but I'm worried about what they're gonna do in season 2? Following SoC would be awesome, but I feel like they should have their own separate show for that because the heist is very long and detailed, so if they had to add Alina into that it would be messy. Besides jurda parem and Alina or the Darkling in the same time frame is a no no.
I love how human they made the Darkling in the show?? Ben Barnes was PERFECT for this role and I get to relive one of my childhood crushes lmaooo I was very in love with Prince Caspian as a child
@Sitarama oh my... yesss! I acctually love every scene when he uses his shadows... It's just amazing, mesmerising, mysterious and, in my opinion, much more satisfying than Alina's power.
Not really. The crows are equally popular. The book fandom literally worships the crows. The crows storyline will be more solid once S2 comes out, considering this was just a prequel.
Nope actually they r equally popular. I love Darkling alot and specially some of his lines in the books but if u talk about books then according to me only crows version was well written as compared to it's all other parts. Demon in the wood was also really good. I only liked these two books. The thing is that I like crows all together as a team and Darkling alone is interesting enough.
After the first episode I didn’t even care about the crows or Mal. Lol I skipped all of their scenes until they got to the little palace 🤣😂🤣😂 lol I did not care about any of them. I was way more interested in storylines and hoping for more storylines for Genye and David and Ivan and Fedyor. The goings on at the Little Palace had all of my attention everybody else were just in the way.
caring, but blinded by greed - he was SO CLOSE to being such a good character, but alas, he had to go and steal alina's power and lie- or as he would call it, "half-truth" (I can't, that was such a bad excuse-), and now... well, he made himself "the villain"
It's been about two weeks since I finished shadow and bone and I think about Ben everyday. God, he's just so hot, and I am also watching The Punisher. I died.
@Heidi W Girl, I found out that he was on the Punisher and watched just for him. Like literally. Any scenes that didn’t have him in them or directly related to a scene with him in it, I skipped.
It would have been so good if they did a montage instead of just putting one scene imagine a montage of him killing everyone who threatened Alinla's life 😂😂😂
Obsessed with this show I had read the books before alike them apart frm the ending of the last book and I full on darkling and Alina make it endgame please
Have you ever noticed...the makers always show the villain's, human (light) side but never the " hero/heroine's", villainous (dark) side. It's so unfair. The villain can have spots of light but the heroine HAS to be sooooo "PURE".😑
it was probably the most demeaning thing he could say to him. he's not a "General" he's just a whiny p*ssbaby "shadow man" with absolutely no intimidation factor
The Darkling: Fine, make me your villain!👑👑👑🌷❤ Fandom: Yaaaaasss, we follow!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🌷❤🌷❤😍 Other actors: Ben Barnes, teach me HOW to play an empathic villain! 😁👍💐 The Darkling: Come CLOSER....Make no mistake, the people who disliked this video will pay dearly!!!😂😅🔥
His motive was always to protect grisha,his people 🥲🌘☀️🖤 he was never the bad guy.. time and people made him do these things..he deserved love and happiness tbh.. and Alina was his chance but alas 😭
i mean, he never actually cared about Grisha. he just wanted more power because he felt he had a right to it because he was a man with power to begin with. he openly and unapologetically murders like half the Little Palace just cause they didn't want to become imperialists like him then kills off more Grisha until there's not that many left. no one made him do anything, he chose the life he did and saying otherwise is a huge disservice to him as a character who is proud of the things he did. he chose to harm and mutilate people. like... he literally says that he doesn't feel bad for anything he did - which includes sexually assaulting Alina and having Genya get r*ped for like 10 years. it's not a girl's job to fix a sh*tty man.
Soleada Alejandra Lastres I completely respect your thoughts and opinions but I definitely don’t agree with it! I have a completely different perspective of the darkling 🌘🖤 also this is fictional and my opinion on him doesn’t mean I support or promote toxicity
The Darkling should be King 😉👑🔥👑🔥👑🌷❤ Ben Barnes is killing it! He IS the Darkling and even with a masterful empathic view of him!💐👑🌷 Plus he and Kit Young are the most authentic performances and imersed actors in the whole show! 🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤💐🔥❤🔥❤💐💐💐💐💐👑🌷Netflix, please do Jesper next! We also love Kit! 😁❤🌷🔥👍
Netflix don't be shy. Admit you're a Darkling/Darklina stan :) Also I think you should rename this video to "The Darkling being an Alina simp for 5 and 30 seconds" 🤣🤣
This is a rare case of the adaptation being so much better than the book! Currently reading the first Grishaverse book and quite unimpressed (I started with the Crow books, those were much better). Alina is so much more interesting in the adaptation!
The only thing that pacifies me is that Kirigan was one of the thousand names that the Darkling took (mentioned in Rule of Wolves- *SPOILER ALERT* in Darkling's POV)So, I am just going to assume, he took this name during Alina's time even in the books but his title was only used by people around him- The Darkling.
Darkling truly cares for Alina He just needs the right guidance please please make them together, DARKLINA DARKLINA DARKLINA DARKLINA DARKLINA DARKLINA DARKLINA
Because manipulating and abusing someone, sexually harassing them, subjecting a little girl to chronic rape, murdering and torturing thousands of citizens (children, families, including grisha themselves) is all justified -.-
@@RedReaper1997 we are talking about the TV show, this hasn't happened in the show, so let's not judge show darkling for things he hasn't done yet and we dont actually know if he will do
I’ve read the books and I know everything but.. I NEED ALINA TO BE THE POWERFUL SUN SUMMONER AND DARKLINA TO BE THE POWERFUL BADASS COUPLE AND THE ENDGAME... please Netflix 🤡🥺😭
For god's sake Netflix give this man a redemption don't disappoint us with the book ending cause wd know that please he's not a villain by nature, all those horrible consequences made him do this...he not bad
Honestly he is not as evil as it seems.. He has a some kind of cause he's fighting for.. I never felt so compassion with evil character like I feel for him Can't wait for season 2
As a person who is so obsessed and invested in the darkling and in love with Aleksander Morozova,I will NEVER hurt his feelings or be disrespectful 🙄😭🌘🖤... (ps:I’ve read the books and I know how he is and what he has done but you know what,ITS FICTION)
