Shadowhunters is pretty dumb... 

I'm sad you didn't even touch the whole incest-not-incest-maybe-incest storyline

If malec wasn't a thing, 3/4 of shadowhunters watchers wouldnt be there note: I'm talking about for the show, not the book

The soundtrack was iconic tho. Ruelle smashed it

Malec carrying the entire show on their backs

To everyone telling him to read the books first. That's one of the problems with these teen shows that he should point out more often; you shouldn't have to read the books first. If the writers were any good at storytelling and using the television format to portray a story well, then the books aren't necessary to understand the plot.

In the books isabelle can literally fight in 7inch heels and clary as well as everyone is impressed

Me reading the fight scene in the books: I barely understand anything that's happening Me watching the fight scene: I somehow understand less

So, I've only ever read the books, and they are like my favorite books. This really doesn't do them justice. Here are all the inconsistencies with the books that I caught: 1. That is not how steles work. You have to hold it like it's an extension of your arm and draw out the runes. 2. Clary actually first sees Jac inside of Pandemonium, when she watches him follow a boy into a storage closet holding a knife. Then, she follows him and sees him, Alec and Isabelle kill the boy. 3.At the start of City of Bones, Clary is less than a week away from her 16th birthday. She never applied for art school. 4. Luke is not a police officer. He owns a bookshop. 5. Luke didn't admit his feelings for Jocelyn until City of Glass. 6. Werewolves can't control dogs. Where did that even come from? 7. There is no Dot, only elderly Madame Dorthea who lives downstairs from Clary. 8. The first scene with Clary, Jocelyn, Luke and Simon is actually an arguement between Clary and her mom that ends with Clary storming out of her house. 9.Shadowhunters cannot use modern technology. It interferes with the angelic runes. Idris only has one phone, and the only demon tracking equipment they have are sensors, which are powered by runes. 10. Clary never drew runes until after she was introduced to the shadow world. 11. The demon was in the form of a teenage boy, and they had sent Izzy to seduce him. 12. there was no fight. the demon was quickly beheaded. 13. Clary didn't kill the eidlon demon. 14. Seraph blades need to be named to use, so Clary picking one up wouldn't have done anything. 15. Jocelyn never told her that she was a shadowhunter. Clary had to spend most of the first book figuring that out. 16. Before Clary got home, her mother had been kidnapped by a demon. 17. Clary discovers the portal a lot later with Jace, after she was taken to the institute, and the portal was in Madame Dorthea's appartment. 18. The portal actually took her to Luke's house. 19. Jace runed her before they went to the institute. 20. When she woke up, only Isabelle was there.

Can we also talk about the fact that the producers probably NEVER READ THE BOOKS?!

Other shows: sooo, here we have our three ships and this one lonely person right there. Shadowhunters: soooooooo, this is our Clary-Jace-Isabelle-Simon-Raphael-Maia-love Hexagon, oooh, and this is Malec.

as someone who hasn't read the book and has no bias whatsoever, i don't think it was that bad. best parts were definitely malec and the soundtrack though. ruelle is amazing

the only reasons most people watch shadowhunters are 1) alec 2) izzy 3) magnus 4) malec the show stands and falls with these three

They say till this day The Brooklyn Academy of arts is still waiting for her...

no one hates shadowhunters more than tmi fans who actually read the books

Clary: I didn't mean to draw that Clary's friend: DID YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE STARTED WAKING UP SPEAKING FRENCH? ITS TRUE, I SAW ON THE NEWS.

1:15 ... her superpower...not breaking her legs. I mean, THAT'S ISABELLLE

Did you DARE make a comment about Alexader Gideon Lightwood's PERFECT hair?!

“ She gets saved by *HANDSOME MAN* “

I read the book and... oh my god. This is completely different from the book besides the names and the shadow hunter thing, like Dot doesn’t even exist, like, gosh

As a person who read the books, my reaction to the whole shows was like " WTF?!😡" It's not supposed to be like that! They ruined my fantasies 😢

"She and her friend do like a fist bump explosion thing which reminds us all that they are indeed very white" SKSKSKSKSK

Don't really care about other characters but *MALEC IS THE HEART AND SOUL* of this show! Many people would agree on this.

The first season is really cheesy and weird but just like all shows, it gets better once the actors are comfortable in their characters shoes.

Everyone is arguing about which is better ; the books or the show And then there’s me Who watched the show Watched the movie (AND I LOVED IT OK ?!) Read the books *and find them all amazing* 🥺

I started watching for Malec and that's the reason I'm still watching

Are your friends afraid to tell you their favorite shows?

"I think we all know her real superpower is running in heels on a roof and not breaking her ankle." This is actually true, that is an ability only Izzy possesses.

yeah well about the tech.... They're supposed to live in like, a victorian church. The show made the tech up

"You can see me?" Me, every time someone says "Hi"... Ever

It's a good _book_ series though Keep in mind it started as harry potter fanfiction though

He clearly hasn't seen the whole thing about how Clary and Jace have a thing for each other and then are supposed brother and sister and then that repeats for like a whole season

Almost forgot how bad the special effects were at first😳 The show really does get better

Ehh it honestly gets better. The first few eps are pretty cringey and the show has a lot flaws, but it's still enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously. The acting improves in the later seasons and the budget gets better as well. The show has also done a great job with malec. I am so happy.

I watched this video, then watched the show, then read the books , then turned into a crazy ass fan girl, Thank you for that

malec’s back be hurting from carrying the whole show

YOU SHOULD'VE WATCHED THE WEDDING SCENE PERIODT

The thing that annoys me most about teen dramas is when they randomly use music that has one word relevance to the scene. THEY DON’T EVEN EDIT THE SCENE TO THE MUSIC IT HURTS.

Life is hard for a shadowhunter. Every day is a struggle for survival against otherworldly horrors in defense of those who cannot even see their protectors or know the thankless task they perform to keep them safe from a world they can never understand. And yet, they all have time to do hair and makeup.

Alec has the best hair on this show thank you very much

6:26 : sees girl crying in creepy room with creepy music in the background Ad: PAMPERS

Me when I read the title: “SAY THAT AGAIN AND ILL BREAK YOUR NOSE” Also me when I watch the video: *laughing my ass off but still very mad* “bull shi-AHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHA”

Gotta love it when a professional headshot pops up on caller ID instead of, ya know, a real natural photo a friend might take.

Even though the Jase in the movie look like he's been smoking weed since... Idk like forever, he's a way better Jase that this one. Also. Lilly Collins! Do I have to say anything more?

I think the show is good as a stand alone show and that people would like it better if they stopped compering the show to the books

and then he ran into my knife... he ran into my knife just once then turned to ash - *HE HAD IT COMIN*

But why do they look like stock photo models

I never read the books but honestly I love the series wholeheartedly Not everything has to be 100% the same, writers should always have some creative freedom

Alexander Lightwood did not fight his love for Magnus Bane for you to insult his freakishly perfect hair, dude.

Me: *reads title* Me: *inhales sharply* someone’s about to die

“THE BOOKS ARE BETTER” say it with me

Malec is just the heart of the show everything else is also amazing and cool but I just love Malec and the actors are super funny!

don't watch Shadowhunters for the plot or Jace and Clary being absolute idiots, watch it for Magnus and Alec being the best and healthiest couple ever *EDIT:* yes i have read the books and yes malec basically maintained my interest because the rest of it was just "this might be incest LOL IT'S NOT INCEST actually here's the real incest" to the background music of the world ending

I love it how the stickman is watching the scene.

The Shadowhunters serie is not as bad as the movie... the movie is... I could explain it in family friendly words

And right before she gets killed, she gets saved by “HANDSOME MAAAAN!!” 😂😂😂

The acting in this show legit makes me want to slam my face into a wall.

As someone who has read the books I can say with confidence that the show is nothing like the books

3:06 his superpower is just making really good old spice commercials🤣🤣

This is one of those shows that I feel weird about liking. It's just stereotypical teen drama shit and yet I enjoy watching it, idk...

I was writing a book with a half angel that hunts demons in a shadow world. I saw the trailer for city of bones and cried for a week.

I really only watch for Malec at this point.

This show is so stupid compared to the book and just in general

The only reason I watch this show is for Malec. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Not gonna lie, I love shadowhunters and I’m sad it’s been axed

7:09 don't you DARE insult Alexander😂

the shadowhunters was and is my thing, also, i started to watch it bc of ship malec, and later i fell in love with whole series......

"The Brooklyn Academy of Arts doesn't believe in mistakes...we have happy little accidents"

I swear 90% of the dialogue in this first episode is exposition Who talks like this?

As someone who read the books, And watched the show i have to say that i enjoyed the show. It was obviously different then the books, but i still enjoyed it. The first season wasn't the best, but it did get better. I liked the show more then the movie.

I mean I've watched the whole show for a few times, and haven't read the book yet. The show is not dumb or something, it is a fantastic show TvT

WHY SHADOWHUNTERS IS LIFE FRICKN LIFE

The reference to izzy wearing heels on the roof as her super power is basically true 😂

I’m torn cause this was hilarious but I love the show. You should do Jane the virgin or gossip girl next.

THIS SHOW IS ACTUALLY AMAZING!! I finished 3 seasons in 4 days

This made me laugh so hard even though I like shadow hunters 🤣🤣

I want a TV show based on a character who comes across something supernatural, then spends like the first season just avoiding it as much as possible. Like, the main character just spends her/his time looking things up, learning things, for the simple reason of _avoiding_ it, not joining the supernatural world or anything.

Season 1 was a bit cringy but it was passable as a show. The second and Third season were great and honestly made the show enter a realm of transcending most teen supernatural dramas.

I don't agree, I love it so much, even the books, everything about it

"Because being a redhed isnt hard enough" Me being a ginger and actually liking my hair colour: ._.

I love how he’s saying that it’s only up to Clary to save the world Me: no, but it’s up to her to create problems that result in the world/worlds ending

I just love how in nearly EVERY show/movie made from "young adult novels", they ALWAYS have perfect hair. As if nobody would have a bad hair day, but this is not what young teens want to see

When someone says vampire i imagine Robert Pattinson 😂😂

I don't know, I loved the show waaay more than the books. This whole incest thing was so strange and made the middle part not really enjoyable. Izzy is nothing more than a good looking demon killer - in the show she has a brain and has more depth in her character. I think except for Clary, Jace, Valentine and Sebastian Cassandra Clare did not really bothered to develop any other character tbh. And I liked that the show made it's own storyline so even I could get surprised by it. I had so much more favorite moments in it, like the one *SPOILERS* Magnus and Valentine changes their body's or Jace was captured in his own mind and almost cried and begged Alec to kill him. That was all so intense! Of course the books are good (even if I do not like the author, but that's another story) but the producers did so much more for it. I like it in general when shows/movies dont follow on that what they are based on. It would be boring if you'd know what big event would happen in the next scene and this way you have the chance to see characters you like experience knew stuff and you have more moments to like...

The only truth about Shadowhunters is that the first season (especially first episode) is like, really bad. It gets better with each episode tho. After like fifth ep it is actually good. Not perfect or mindblowing, but good. Season two (especially 2b) is WAY better than other 23 episodes. The show has a big potential if it will be like season 2b. Guess we will see in March...

*...Academy of art doesn't believe in mistakes* Me: they only believe in happy accident

Why am I getting defensive when I’m literally only watching for representation through Alec and Magnus

"and it turns out they work for like the Avengers and they have all this fancy technology stuff but still they use swords because of course they do!" It cracked me so hard!

The TV is super corny tbh... I loved the books, but the show is really fast paced and changing a lot of stuff. I’m only watching for Magnus(Malec) and Simon right now. But it’s funny cause even in the books I couldn’t stand Clary or Jace, but the side characters were amazing! Not to mention I’m kind of upset with how they portray Valentine in this show, I’ve always imagined him as this super suave guy with white hair but to each their own x’D

I feel like all these teen dramas are the same story with different titles...

the «this is... this is... Wow 😖» says it all loool

People waking up one day and for some reason being fluent in French? Now *that's* a show I'd watch.

You didn't even mention the hilarious thing they call "acting" in that show!

Please do Gossip Girl.

"And it turns out they work for like the avengers or something."😂

Hey just found your channel.. and soooooo love it.... Shadowhunters was one of my favorite shows and to hear your take on it had me laughing so much.

Ok the first episode/season is a bit... shitty? But the rest is a lot better.

It's even worse when you know the books are better

Watching these are my way of watching movies without having to pay for them

"Did you know some people wake up speaking French ? I saw it on the news, it's true !" Oh Alex 🤣🤣🤣🤣

it makes it funnier when you remember that this show was adapted from books which were also adapted from harry potter fanfiction
