Hello hello! I felt like if I didn't make this video it would sit in my mind festering for an eternity. It's finally out of my system: Tier Ranking Bad Boys of Fiction. Thank you to everyone who nominated your favorite characters, I hope I did them justice! To those who nominated Elias, I'm watching you 👀
POST EDITING: 1. I realized I didn't even touch on how violent Rhysand can be because i legitimately forgot about it due to sjm making those scenes (killing people with his bare hands cause he's so angry, etc) so quick in order to focus on...wings. My b!
2. After mulling this over for a few weeks (filmed this a while ago) and reading a few more fairy books, I will give Cardan the tiniest tiniest break for his bad behavior but I still stand by my opinion that Holly Black needed to give us more time to understand/accept his character change :)

Hey! Just wanna tell you that an illustrated book in Cardan's perspective is coming out in November 24, 2020. It's called "How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories". Maybe you should check it out? He's kinda a fave of mine. Love the video btw 😘

To be honest, none of her characters got a decent redemption arc. Snape is another one, yeah he's a prickly asshole and not a great teacher. But on the other hand he was forced to stay a teacher by Dumbledor, a job that he clearly hated. Everyone is constantly insulting his appearance behind his back or to his face. He puts himself in years of mortal danger to make up for his mistakes and ends up dead and alone in a shack, without ever making another friend in his life. I'd probably be one bitter bitch in his situation too

The darkling is sooooo difficult because I want to put him in 'deserved better' just for that final scene where he asks her to say his name (god! I'm still not over this), and then asks her not to leave him. But then the other part of me comes out that has a conscience and needs to stop excusing men out of terrible behavior just because they are hot and once in a while have emotionally vulnerable moments.

@khloe363 3 года назад

Honestly yes! I just finished that book yesterday and it made me want to cry because I know that there was a soft side of him but he rarely showed it because he was taught to not bow down to anyone and be his own leader so he’s never let his guard down. And the only time we got a little bit of the soft side was with Alina. But I also have to remember that he had his bad times and was evil a lot of the times. :(

@ishikag4757 4 года назад

Kaz is honestly one of my favourite characters of all time. While I do recognise that he did some questionable things in the books, I couldn't help but sympathize with his character because of the absolutely horrid things he experienced as a child. I also think that he had to maintain his cruel facade just to survive. I think inherently he is a good person and really does care about his friends even though he may not express it very overtly. Really enjoyed this video though :)

@caricanread 4 года назад

Exactly this :’) i love kaz so much 🥺

@sophiedenmark7763 3 года назад

I honestly think cardan was so bad in the first book because we were seeing everything from judes eyes and Jude HATED cardan. Like he was obviously reallt bad in the first book but there was probably a ton of stuff we missed regarding growth because Jude didn’t recognize it either. Also notice how Jude started seeing the charming and kind and funny side of him once she stopped hating him as much? He could’ve always been that way but she just missed it because of how much she hates him. (ALSO I am NOT a first book Cardan apologist, he was AWFUL, I just love second and third book cardan and feel like there had to be some explanation of the way he changed so quickly)

@ASHLEY.397 2 года назад

Kaz is in the love category for me but I recognize that he's...problematic. Draco definitely deserved better. That's why I've read thousands if not more fics with Draco redemption arcs. The Raven Cycle books were a torture to read (the author's writing is very unique...it works for some. for me it was really out there and took me out of the story), but I did it anyway for Ronan & Adam.

A bit late to the comments BUT I'm so so soooo sorry that you had to read After! I'm a One Direction fan and I was in the fandom already at the time it was being written (the fanfiction). I remember that there was certainly a big portion of the fandom that enjoyed it and actually looked forward to new updates but It never appealed to me because of how abusive Hardin's character sounded. And don't get me wrong, I'm all for fanfiction, I like reading it, so it's not even about "oh they portrayed Harry as x y z" but more about the toxic ideas it reinforced to (mostly) teenage girls. Thank you for this space to rant haha hadn't talked about that in a while. Loved the video, Cari!

Diana Wynne Jones was an astounding author and all of her books are amazing. Yet the trilogy World of Howl is something that out of all of her books I've read so far stayed in my heart the most. Story of Sophie, Calcifer, Howl and of the kingdoms we visit throughout the three books are so well written and imaginative I couldn't stop reading for hours on end. Any time I'm talking with someone and he mentions the Studio Ghibli movie Howl's moving castle (Or Castle in the sky which is how it's called in the country I live in), I always recommend the books. I mean, there is so much more to the characters than meets the eye! Howl's moving castle is the first book and probably the loveliest. Then the second book Castle in the air, then the third House of many ways. Man I loved those books. :D

@hattie.eq8835 3 года назад

Yes love her books so much but barely see her anywhere! Love that Howl was included in this vid - have to say Dogsbody and Dark Lord of Derkholm might be up there as favourites of hers tho alongside these ones

@frejaolsen7240 Год назад

I also absolutely love the book and the other two are on my TBR. Castle in the Sky is actually a different Ghibli film and I heard somewhere that Diana Wynne Jones was inspired by some parts of that movie for Castle in the Air but I may be wrong. But to me that idea of people just continuously inspiring each other is lovely.

@scionsilverbeat8149 Год назад

Castle in the Sky isn't Howl's Moving Castle. It's literally a different movie that is also done by Studio Ghibli.

I know that this is just her opinion but she shouldn’t have put Cardan on the bottom saying that he let his friends drug the girl he loved and made them strip here, and then just put Rhysand on the top when in the first book he did the same thing. He drugged feyre himself made her kiss random people. Both of them changed in the later books, Rhysand also hid medical information from Feyre. She was going to die and he didn’t even tell her!

I’m actually glad I’m not the only one who feels the same about Cardan, I agree with your opinion 100%. I started the Cruel Prince through booktok and I actually had to stop 1/4 of the way through because the way they were bullying her just felt weird because on booktok so many people love and praise Cardan and I remember thinking .. “am I reading the same book??” Anyways, I decided to pick it back up again this year and finish the series and it was like ..just okay imo. I agree that I feel Holly didn’t give him a good enough redemption arc that made me want to look past his “bad boy ways”. He was almost too cruel and then his redemption arc was like .. mediocre at best. He was just existing. Like what did he do that made him so good after? Did I miss something ? I still enjoyed the book but for as much as it was hyped up, I was a bit disappointed.

You should totally give the Raven Cycle another go. I LOVE IT! It is very character focused and in the following books you learn so much about the inner workings of all these really complex humans. There is even a whole book from Ronan’s POV which if I’m honest I wasn’t initially very interested in but it was really really enjoyable. I’m not sure if you’re more of a character driven or plot driven reader because it for sure isn’t some people’s cup of tea. But I think you’ll enjoy it. The world building creates a setting that is so whimsical and also jarringly realistic at the same time. Read it in middle school/high school and it has stayed with me since! I think your rating for Ronan will for sure change if you continue the series. Love this channel and find it so interesting to hear other people’s opinions! Really happy you decided to make it so I can feed my book addiction!

I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I've absolutely been binging your videos. It's been so interesting to see just how similarly we feel about some books and how drastically different about others. Cardan and Hardin going in the lowest tier cracked me up, because that is not where I would put either of them. It's always very jarring for me when BookTubers bring up the AFTER series' fan-fic past because I tend to forget that was ever a thing. I discovered and read the books as published works. To me, that series has always just been a crazy accurate, epically messed up modern-day re-telling of Dangerous Liaisons, (a book that has a part of my soul in its mits,) with a Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice twist. While everything you said about the character is true and valid, I can't imagine a dark, contemporary re-imagining of Sebastian Valmont being any way other than how Hardin is. It's one of those stories and characters that isn't easy for everyone to stomach, but it's quite literally supposed to be that way.

The second Raven Cycle books is the best in the series!! The first one is really slow, but I’d say give the series another go!

Thank you for adding Alucard!! I love that idiot magician pirate (whoops, sorry, I mean privateer) and Kell’s intense dislike for him is just hilarious. The Darker Shade of Magic series needs more appreciation all around - it’s brilliantly written, and I just adore all the main characters and rich, detailed settings!

@jasleengill2112 4 года назад

this video was so fun to watch! i loved hearing all your takes, very soothing and entertaining to watch while i kneaded bread dough. i was wondering why you put cardan in the nope category because of the whole drugging jude and being an allover asshole to her but then not rhys when he also drugged feyre under the mountain in acotar? i've seen a lot of people say that was different because he wasn't trying to hurt her but trying to make it so she wouldn't remember what happened but isn't that still bad? just wondering what your take on this is. but yeah i loved this video! it would be so cool if you did one ranking heroines or sidekicks or any other character trope!

@flyinngbleubunni362 2 года назад

I was so happy when you put Alucard in top and Cardan in the bottom bc I agree completely. Also Holland breaks my heart as well, i knew what was gonna happen to him the moment we met him but i still cried a little bit. I loved Alucard and could not stand cardan’s behavior and how much everyone loves him and shrugs it off. I loved shades of magic! Great video!

Omg what he does at the end is just mind boggle-ingly awful i dont know how people can not be totally disgusted!

@sarahjacobsen5576 4 года назад

Ok to be honest, I agreed with most of these except Cardan. I agree he did some sketchy stuff, but you also get a lot better of a feel for his character in books 2-3, and you understand that he definitely deserved better. Also like so much of his life is dictated by court politics and the fact that if he shows happiness or affection toward anything, it can and will be used against him to hurt him.

@sarahjacobsen5576 4 года назад

Just realized you updated Cardan's! My bad!!

@forlongforgotten 4 года назад

Regarding the After serie, I didn't read the fan fiction nor see the movie but i have read all the books. As the story unfolds you get more information about the character's childhood and events from his past. I don't have knowledge or experience about that kind of situations but i can understand he didn't know how to get over them in a good way. At the same time, during the whole story it is interesting to see how he becomes more self aware and changes into a reasonable human being. I enjoyed watching your video and cannot wait for new books to look into. All the best! 😊

@caricanread 4 года назад

Thanks! But I think the things that he does to Tessa is actual abuse and it’s told as if its some wild romance. I dont want people reading that and wanting that kind of relationship 🤢

@forlongforgotten 4 года назад

@@caricanread I agree with that. What i wanted to point out is that there is more to his character and he eventually understands what he is doing and corrects himself. But that hapens in the later books. Therefore, in my opinion, people who are captivated by this story in any way should read the whole serie in order to get to know the characters in different points and situations of their life and how they get through it.

watching this as cardan as my fav bad boy :0 i read cardan's pov book and it helps a lot, i agree that he needed more time to show his chracter growth but i really love his character lol. also draco really did not deserve better i mean he was never abused, he was over pampered if anything. he might have been encouraged to be a death eater but thats on him and he never redeemed himself. how is rhysand and darkles gonna beat him tho 😩😩

@sarvishkaseepersad8657 Год назад

Was looking for this comment. Draco was such a toxic bully and ppl are obsessed with him? I never got it. Somehow so many people forget all the terrible things he did, like calling Hermione what is considered a slur in the Wizarding World on multiple occasions. I'm glad to see at least someone remembers his actual character

@mickeymouse7222 Год назад

I was literally thinking the same thing!

@mickeymouse7222 Год назад

Thank you for commenting this honestly

@mickeymouse7222 Год назад

Though I think Draco eventually did redeem himself in the last book? We don't get to see a lot of him redeeming himself because, well, that's the last book, but I think after the sixth year he began to reanalyse his actions and everything. I think he became a better person after that, but again, we don't see it since the series is over
