Song: You're Not Sorry (CSI Remix) - Taylor Swift Fandom: Criminal MInds Pairing: Morgan/Reid Warning(s): Break-up vid. I feel almost ashamed to be using a TaySwift song in this fandom, but I really couldn't resist.
Brilliant vid! I like that they have both of their points of view. I'm glad that Morgan isn't painted as the bad guy, that always irks me. So I like that they're both at fault here. The weird thing about Morgan being the bad guy is that I think with their personalities, Morgan is probably the least likely to be the one hurting Reid. Not that Reid would hurt Morgan either, but I think Reid emotion wise, could accidentally hurt Morgan moreso than the other way around.
I'm not gonna lie... I cried... I can't stand the thought of those two breaking up if they did become a couple... It hurts just thinking about it... Team Morgan/Reid!!!
omg I totally misread this when I saw it one my phone so its reid who breaks up with morgan love it well i love any morgan/reid video they are so awesome together
The clips chosen and the pacing are great and fit so well with the lyrics it's amazing. Especially the clips at the "you're not sorry" parts of the refrain are perfect fits. The more often I watch this vid the more I fall in love with it. And the POV change is just brilliant. They love each other but instead of being happy together they only end up hurting the other, which is so so sad. Neither is at fault though they still end up destroying each other. This vid is made of heart-breaking win.
I ADORE THIS VID!!! Poor Derek :( I get that someone had to be the "bad guy" but Reid is so sweet and I just can't even imagine him bad! Unless he's using again, lol! Anyways I adore this vid so much! amazing amazing job!
@nefarious6161 Well, to be completely fair, technically, they're both at fault here, but yes, it was important to me that Reid be at fault for once. It's a popular thread that Reid is the victim, and Morgan's always the one at fault, because he's tougher and all signs tend to lead us to believe he'd hurt him. But seriously, they're human. Reid is just as capable of breaking a heart as Morgan is. Maybe not in the same ways, but, well...I'm rambling. I'm glad you liked it. :]
@Karifantastic Perfect! I hoped you'd say that :) The first time I didn't realise right away that there was a POV change, as the clips could be from Morgan's view as well, though they don't fit nearly as well as they do for Reid. Really, you did a terrific job given that the clips have totally different contexts in the show (like Reid's face in 1:27, for example which fits so perfectly, here) I'm pissed RU-vid won't let me watch your other CM vids >:/ Do you archive anywhere else, too?
i'm going to be honest. I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift, but this video is so awesome i cant stop watching it! i'm on my 5th repeat and i dont think i'm going to stop any time soon
@xCriminalMindsTVx Uh, waaay off. This is a slash video- meant for the implication of them as a pairing, a COUPLE- not fridndship or "bromance," like your thought process is leading you to believe. It's not that hard to figure out, with all due respect, it's in the title.
Also, a question (which I couldn't fit into my other comment seeing as it's exactly 500 characters long *cough* Come on, youtube. 500 characters is just unfair *pout*). 1:14 to 1:27, whose POV did you intend this to be? Because depending on the POV it's either another example of awesome editing or the only slight fault this vid has in my eyes. I know what it will always be in my mind, but I'm curious as to the authorial intent on this part ^^
Look at 1:45-1:50. Is it just me or does Morgan look like the high school jock who is trying to pick up the girl who has no interest? I love this video despite the break up part.
