Stefan has always been & always will be the better man. The better brother, the better friend, the better boyfriend. Stefan is all around the definition of perfection.
I believe Stefan would say Damon is better because Stefan was humble like that. That, in itself, makes him the better man! He truly didn't see himself as better, but we did. We know better. Thanks for this video that portrays Stefan as the better man!
I always knew Stefan was the better man, better than Damon. He's spent so many years to redeem himself for the person he never wanted to be and that washes away when he's forced to make decisions for Elena and Damon. He had to lose the girl he loved to his own brother but didn't try to win her back because he knew how much his brother loved her even if he loved her too. He became a person of his own, still standing by the people who screw him over and he doesn't complain once. Stefan was and always is the best person in the Vampire Diaries, the hero (even if Julie Plec wanted it to be solely on Delena), and the one who really deserved better. But I'm glad he's with Lexie now, he deserves to be in peace.
I don't care about what people say. Stefan is and always will be the better man and the better brother. Stefan always saved and cared about everyone, not Damon. Stefan was the one who died to save Mystic Falls, not Damon. Stefan's pure heart was really his curse. He was so kind, caring, humble, selfless and so strong, i can't even describe this beautiful person. Damon may have a good heart deep inside but Stefan is and always will be the hero and the better man.
MegsMakeup Stefan was a ripper....No way in hell was he the better man nor was his heart pure.....He's killed more people than Damon and has done nothing but regress....Killing himself to atone for his sins didn't do him any good. He was the first out of the two brothers to revel in his vampirism....Damon had to leave town just so he could keep them from being killed...Damon was the hero...Always the one to get things done even by having the people he loved the most hate him for it....Stefan couldn't do the things Damon did....Too busy worrying about collateral damage.
Hazel Amarie Damon cared only about Elena. he was is selfish and ruthless . ik u can't hate him but u can't certainly call him better. Stefan was and always will be a better man , a better boyfriend and a better brother. he sacrifices everything. while yes Stefan does become a ripper but he never cherished it. he hated it while Damon enjoyed killing people. he kills Jeremy for no reason without knowing he had his ring. he kills Alaric just because he was pissed. he left enzo to die while he sacrifices his blood to escape. he hesitates to give the cure. he never cared about bonnie before. he turned Caroline into a blood bag. he betrayed his baby bro and kissed his girl when he was protecting them both. he's done horrible things.while Stefan he saves him every time. and remember when Katherine was Elena n kissed Stefan he pushed her away cuz even though he loved her he loved and respected his brother more. while Damon kisses Elena when she was with Stefan. Stefan saved matt because that's what elena said n Damon wanted to kill him. Stefan not only cared about Elena but everyone around him. he may loose control but he's always had a pure heart.
@@matthewmann8969 ofc he was not the most innocent person and he did so many bad things he was goddamn vampire lmao he was bound to do bad things lmaooooo. but his first instict was always to help people. He always put everyone else before himself and he was always trying to be good and to be a better person and well it is a vampire show so that wasnt really possible. and emily said that him being such a good person (before he turned) would be his downfall as a vamp. which is what made him a became a ripper.
@@itsmeelle1843 Except for the part where he knew how Damon felt about Katherine and did not care a pure heart would of cared at that very moment and that was him as a Human so vampirism cannot be used as a crutch, cane, cast, walker, wheelchair, ramp, scooter, body brace, face brace, or and tooth brace. Also note before any of the Salvatores were compelled for different reasons by Katherine when they were playing ball and Katherine wanted to be chased Damon was the one to make the first move for her not Stefan.
Stefan: *treats all women like queens* *forgives Damon for committing the most unspeakable acts* *Respects Elenas choices* *puts others happiness before his own* *is selfless* *is the perfect boyfriend* *amazing friend* *owns up to his wrongful actions* *lets his big brother steal his girlfriend* *wants Elena to be happy even if it’s not with him* *tells Elena to not give up on Damon. *Literally sacrifices himself the day he gets married just so Damon could run off into the sunset with the love of his life* Damon: *loves Elena* “He’s the better man... the right man.” Paul Wesley reading the script: what kind of fuccery is this??
Damon also tried to sacrifice himself for Stefan and otners Stefan just beat him to the punch in the last season at that point they were equally at the same level of moral action
@@matthewmann8969 huh? he didn’t do anything when damon was gonna sacrifice himself for people, stefan was human, he was gonna die either way, & he wanted damon to have a future with elena.
@@kevin-bp3ne Yeah I know as I said both at THAT TIME were equally sacrificial Damon was going to die for everyone just as Stefan was so at that time both were the better people not one over the other
I’ll never understand how people can be so blind. Stefan was, is, and always will be the hero. Damon was clearly evil. I’m gonna re-watch the good times, re-read the books and hope that I live long enough to see the day that the series is re-adapted/rebooted properly. With actual sense, accuracy, and fairness to the characters that deserve better.
nobody can come even close to how well #PaulWesley acted in the show, how badly his character was down-written still gave his 100% and yes he is the better man and will always be my fav. #StefanSalvatore #Stelena #TVD
Yes , he is ! He did everything for Elena ! i don't know why she leave Stefan 😭 They were soulmates ! Stelena is my endgame ! stelena always and forever 😭😭😭💘
@@fizzymilk610 I was rewatching the vampire diaries and realized how much lean didnt deserve him. she kissed Damon while they were dating and slept with Damon a day after they broke up. and the only reason they broke up is because stefan knew that she loved Damon more than him, but he still cared for her!
The way Elena was written in the show, she definitely didn’t deserve Stefan. The books on the other hand, Elena is a completely different person. Their story is different. They are actual soulmates even, with a silver string tied between them spiritually. Caroline in the show is Elena in the books, Katherine in the books is Elena in the show, and Katherine in the show, minus the evil, is probably the most like Meredith Sulez. Someone they wrote out, despite being a main character, good person and bestfriend to Bonnie & Elena. As well as the only human that’s scary enough to terrify Damon. While their are issues in regards to toxic triangle drama. It’s not nearly as bad. It’s always abundantly clear Elena chooses Stefan, and the relationship dynamic is more similar to the one he had with Caroline in the earlier seasons. Her love for Stefan actually breaks her sirebond (which has nothing to do with loving before turning) to Damon, whom she promptly rejects. It never even made sense to me and felt out of character whenever the Damon stuff would happen, felt more like the writers in both cases playing out their own fantasies. Just goes to show how much potential was wasted. They could’ve cleared away the negatives, but instead piled on, and attempted to tear Stefan down (he wasn’t a ripper or blood addict), succeeding to do so with Elena, and the story as a whole.
Stefan deserves better. He gave up everything for everyone time and time again. He loved, he sacrificed, he endured, and he fought the worst parts of who he was to be a better man. He was the better man. Damon was selfish, vindictive, and vengeful. He reveled in every terrible part of him until obsession, not love, redeemed him. And even in his redemption he remained the same narcissistic and selfish person that he always was. I don’t even blame the characters, I blame the writers for deciding their mutually terrible fates. Damon stole Stefan’s joy for over a century, his girl, his cure, and his show. Stefan was the protagonist, the tragic hero, but the meddling of Damon/Ian fans, and the writers foolish enough to listen them vilified him, right up until his heroic sacrifice. And he never defended himself, never justified, never excused or boasted his superiority. He humbly accepted the weight of the world and the worlds of those around him. Justice for Stefan!
Thank you so much!!! I try. The thing that seriously disappoints me about it, is how big of a divergence it is from the original books. Granted, L.J Smith did have similar issues to the CW’s choices, primarily in regards to Damon, and the toxic triangle drama. Just not nearly as much, nor as bad. It was always abundantly clear that Stefan is the hero, that he is the good man, the one that Elena loves & chooses (literal soul mates, it’s actually her love for him that breaks her sirebond to Damon), Matt and him becoming bestfriends even. There’s no ripper past, no humanity switches, and no blood addiction. Just a vampire, murdered by his brother (not his father) in a duel to the death over Katherine, doing his best to do good. Even the whole needing to know Elena part wasn’t how it happened. He wasn’t returning home, they weren’t from Mystic Falls or Fell’s Church as it was called. He just picked a town, a boarding house with an eccentric & loveable old witch Ms. Flowers, a school, to try to be human, have friends, and live a normal life. When he happened to meet a girl that looked like Katherine. And actually avoided her because of the painful memories it brought back. She pursued him, very intensely and it wasn’t until he saved her life, think Tyler, Vicki (Elena), Jeremy (Stefan) and that tree in the first season, except worse, that he finally let himself open up to her. Elena in the books is basically Caroline in the show, one big point of their relationship is his good of an influence he is on her becoming a genuinely good person. Elena in the show is far more similar to Katherine in the books. Even just looking at the imagery for their animals. In the books vampires could shapeshift into animals (fly, control the weather, etc), that’s why they had the crow initially before they retconned it. Stefan could become an eagle, Damon a crow, completely reflective of their natures. And awesome moments, completely unrelated to romance, like Stefan standing up to that teacher. In the show, it was for Elena, still a very nice thing to do. But in the books, it was for Bonnie’s sake, who he hadn’t even met yet. Just a complete stranger he had no romantic interest in, that he took the time to care about. It wasn’t even a contest over specific dates, instead Stefan explaining about the culture of the renaissance and how they did have games (Bon panicked on a question). Since that was when he grew up, as an aristocrat in the Italian renaissance during the 1400s. They changed so much, and not for the better. They wasted so much potential. Stefan, Paul Wesley, and all of us deserved better. It’s as if they forgot their own opening narration: “For over a century I have lived in secret, hiding in the shadows, alone in the world, until now. I am a vampire. And this is my story.”
Damon was not always selfish and narcissistic he became that way somewhat after he returned from the war as a Human though but to say he was always like that is a stretch he was not Kai who was born a psychopath
@@matthewmann8969 i agree but no one is born as a psychopath . Kai was also broken like klaus - his family member hated him , he was isolated bcoz he was a siphoner which made him turn into a psychopath
Stefan Salvatore always was and always will be the better man he was the true hero of this series. What I love about him is that he's not the perfectly pure saintlike hero, sure he's a good guy but he's committed his share of sins . He has innocent blood on his hands but unlike Klaus or Damon he doesn't make excuses he owns up to what he's done. And he strives to be a better person and repent for his sins which not only makes him more human but more heroic. Stefan Salvatore was the true hero of this show and the best character.
When I first watched tvd I loved Damon, and delena. Then I finished it didn't cry about Stefan and loved Damon and Elena. But then, 3 weeks ago I saw it on Netflix and decided to watch every episode again and that's when I realized that Stefan was always better than Damon and that I hate Damon now, I guess when I first watched this show I didn't realize that Damon litterly stole everything from Stefan. So, I love Stefan Salvatore freak everybody else (instead of bonnie and Caroline :) ) I rest my case.
So true! What’s worse is that isn’t the books story either. Damon tried to steal everything, but Stefan came out the winning hero in the end. And Caroline’s character, is basically novel Elena. TVD would’ve been infinitely better if they stuck closer to the original source material. Or at the very least, gave Stefan the happy ending he deserved.
@@matthewmann8969 in 1864? wym? when he forced damon to turn, its bc he didn’t want to be alone, he just needed his brother by his, & 1912? pretty sure that was when damon forced him to feed, & 1920 he was off the rails bc of damon
@@kevin-bp3ne In 1864 while both Salvatores wanted revenge on the founding families Stefan was the only one acting on it while Damon was being more reasonable, responsible, logical, prudent, pragmatic, thoughtful, precise, and practical before meeting Sage he only fed on select Humans for food only when hungry like most other Vampires do including Lexi and he did not like getting his clothes messy so he fed on them in a calm calculated way where they did not make any sounds of pain. While Stefan I understand has Ripper tendencies was the complete opposite lacking class too and cleanliness and not only killed but tortured people even non founding family members for fun. In 1912 once Damon eventually went along with Sages teachings of seeing the select people he preys upon for more then just food when in need of sustanance but also as playthings and rape victims is when Damon became bad in his actions he did not expect Stefan to loose it though you could tell by the shocked and disgusted look on his face. And offered to teach Stefan how to learn how to feed without killing so that same mistake would not happen but instead Stefan denied his help. Damon still should of stopped Stefan though regardless if Stefan wanted his help or not because Stefan would still draw too much attention.
@@kevin-bp3ne Damon never wanted to turn, Stefan forced him because he was alone and that makes him the Better man? How? Damon will always be the better man
You are the hero for both of us. You was always the better vampire,human,friend,comrade. I will miss you forever. Your story was the best and will be best for long years. Rest in peace without Damon,Elena and other parasites...🌙🌹💖
Becoming a vampire obviously changes one into a monster, but as Katherine put it, their humanity sometimes got in the way -- some more than others. Tbf, Damon chose to become a vampire for Katherine, but when he thought she had died, he no longer wanted to live and therefore, didn't want to transition. Damon wasn't mad because Stefan made him become a vampire. He was mad because Katherine turned Stefan too. Did that have something to do with his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad vampire ways? Perhaps. But based on the different vampire personalities, it had a lot to do with how they were as a human, and then that got amplified. Stefan was pure at heart. When his humanity switch was on, he was the hero/martyr and deeply cared for people. Vickie had an addictive personality. As a vampire, blood replaced drugs. Human Elena chose Stefan, but vampire Elena chose Damon. Caroline was a control freak, which probably made her the best vampire of all, because as long as her humanity switch was on or even partially on, she could control her blood lust like no other vampire. So to me, Damon was jealous of Stefan. As a human and as a vampire. As a vampire, that jealousy was magnified and he acted out on it. For example, he maliciously killed his brother's best friend and stole his girl. And Stefan forgave him. So in a nutshell, Stefan could forgive the unforgivable, and that's why, in my eyes, he is the better man.
Stefan forgave Damon because Stefan has said and acknowledged that the bad blood between them started because of himself not justifying Damon but saying Damon was not screwing with Stefan decades later for no reason
Thank you for this gorgeous video. Stefan deserved so much better, smh. It was a SERIOUS disservice to his character to have had him tell Elena that his brother was the "better man." I miss Stefan. :/
If I could get the chance to change some things in tvd : 1) Giving everyone thier happy endings Bamon , steferine , maelena , klaroline , tyliv , jalaric etc 2) Making matt a more useful human 3) Showing how katherine and damon can be redeemed ( changing damon to a good person after he fells for Bonnie instead of elena while being in the prison world , elena forgetting damon and being with matt after alaric's compulsion, katherine being redeemed by stefan and nadia's love ) 4) Removing steroline and instead adding Jenna with alaric and having kids and klaus killing somebody else instead of Jenna in his ritual 5) Klaus starting to realize how to be a good person by being with caroline and adopting a baby or maybe having a baby by some magical spell
1 ) stefans first love Valarie never showed up and later got to know that he had a kid which died 2) katherine compelled him to drink vampire blood from her and to forget she was a vampire making him sleep with her and taking away the consent 3 ) Damon always comes and screw him over whenever he tries to start a new life 4) Damon threatened his new gf elena 5) Damon fell in love with his gf and did his best to break them up ( forcing himself on elena , compelling her to kiss him) 6) Elena kisses Damon in s2 7) Gives himself over to klaus to save Damon's life and becomes ripper 8) damon and elena makes out while he is gone 9) returns but turns out elena fell in love with damon 10) Elena is sired to damon and sleeps with him but turns out she did it cause she loves him 11 ) elena cries that she doesn't want to be a vampire and when he does everything in his power to find the cure she Acts like stefan is treating her like a broken toy while he was satisfying her need 12 ) Silas comes and locks him in a box for the whole summer and no one notices it 13 ) brain fried by qetsiyah 14) loses his memories and again finds out how elena broke his heart 15 ) memories comes back and have ptsd 16) tortured by travelers 17 ) loses damon 18) falls for caroline but she was having kids with alaric 19) takes hunters mark for damon and tuns for 3 years while damon desicates himself instead of helping him 20) damon refuses to take the hunters mark back 21 ) gets in hell stone and then in some humans body 22 ) turns back in his body only to find out that caroline is happy with alaric 23 ) marries caroline and dies the same day so that damon can have his happy ending with elena 🥹💔💔
I'm sorry, but I literally STAN Stefan, Bonnie and Caroline hands down! Damon is good in some ways, but if he were a real person and average looking, you could definitely see how toxic he can be. Elena is just straight up self centred
stefan is better in a lot of ways and you can't prove me wrong. he would do everything for elena , he has always with her in her hardest times and he was always trying to find a way to help her. but damon just told her to turn it off ...he wanted to leave so elena could be happy with damon. he never stopped loving her HE'S THE B E T T E R MAN
My thing is why are all these Damon fans on a Stefan is the better man video if you disagree than don't click on the video and look at the comments when you know you disagree with that and your only wasting your time and everybody else's if you have a problem keep it to yourself.
Stefan is better man and better brother and he will be always better , I am so happy that he got married to Caroline not Elena she never deserved him . I still remember when damon slept with elena the day after she and stefan broke up then told her not to tell him then remember when katherine was in elena's body and wanted to sleep with stefan the day after she dumped damon but he wouldn’t cause it would hurt damon? Yeah, that's the diffrence and there are so many incidents where Damon tries to ruin Stefan life , he literally kill Lexi just to hurt Stefan and people still say Damon is better man like seriously ?? I can never understand what people made think like this . Stefan>>>> Damon #Teamstefan always ❤️
Like don't get me wrong Damon has made me laugh with his humor more times than I could stay for Stefan but Stefan will always be the better brother. I'm a Stelena fan and i can go on a rant for hours about how good Stelena was but to sum it up I've never seen Stefan so in love and happy with someone than he was when he was with Elena. And I've never seen him more hurt, lost and heartbroken then when Elena left him. Like it was inevitable seeing how obsessed Damon was for Katherine that he would catch feelings for Elena and that it would become a love triangle but Elena chosing Damon over Stefan kinda of came out of nowhere. It's just so sad because they had great potential as a couple and the character development Damon would have gotten if he let go of his feelings for Elena for his brothers happiness would have been astronomical. He didn't even care that he stole his girl, the love of his life. I feel like Damon and Elena would have been way more powerful as friends than as a couple.
im confused, damon is the one who wanted to become a vampire in the first place but then when stefan got him to complete the transition, damon hated him.
I hate how they changed that from the books. In the original story, Katherine fakes her own suicide to force the brothers to stop fighting over her and love each other again . Instead, they fight over her daylight ring, and duel to the death with swords, killing each other & turning into vampires. Damon reveled in being a vampire & Stefan hated it, choosing to feed on animals. It made more sense to me. vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Stefan_Salvatore_(novel)
Right, like u held decades of resentment because he gave u what u wanted???? I think he was really mad that Katherine essentially abandoned him and took it out on Stefan.
Stefan is the better man. Except his problem of controlling his hunger, he is perfect. Yet, because of the poor writing of the show he ended up dead after sacrificing everything. Damon is no doubt the toxic one. Killing anybody he wants, carefree. And since I'm fucked up in the mind, its always gonna be him for me. But Stefan > Damon always.
They did Stefan so dirty in this show, I hate them. He deserved the world, what a pure kindhearted soul. The amount of times he sacrificed himself: when he went with Klaus to save Damon’s life and had to become a ripper again knowing it would kill him inside, when he went after Elena in the tomb not knowing if he would come out, when he went into the tomb AGAIN to save Jeremy from Katherine and got stuck in there with her, when he took the huntress mark instead of Damon. He was and always will be the better man. Awful writing ruined that. I will always think of Stelena as endgame and will remember them as up to 3x01 (except that scene in season 2 where Elena kisses Damon when he’s dying).
Stefan is the better man!! Damon could of been but he had been ruthless, to focused on revenge and without humanity for so long it consumed him *-Damon-* *stefan* will always be the better man !! Even tho im team *DAMON* !!!❤
I've watched TVD only one time and i clearly understood what Stefan meant when he said "he is the better man" he meant... he is the better version of Damon he was not comparing himself and Damon but that Damon disappeared when he became a vampire... the older brother he looked up to..... the son who enlisted in the civil war he said that he wanted that Damon to live and he wanted Elena to see him he is the better man means he is the better version of Damon Stefan never said he is better than me (stefan) please understand that first
I understand that, and even that is not true considering Damon still willingly enlisted into the confederacy and was fighting, yes because of his father, but also to keep slavery unfortunately. That’s just wrong lolll, and sad. Another thing; human Damon came back from the war and Was luring people to their deaths with Katherine. ( as a HUMAN). By that time Stefan as a human had done nothing but lost his virginity to Valerie, ( which was before Katherine, had even shown up)
@@Web497 True but once they became Vampires fully transitioned Damon at least until 1912 only fed on Non important members of society for food only he was very prudent, practical, pragmatic, thoughtful, aware, cautious, classy, and fashionable before he adopted Sages lessons or teachings yeah.
I hella love STEFAN FROM DAY ONE! Btw stef is good looking but Damon is attractive. Damon is hot savage etc. Guys just see Damon the better brother views! He's way too OVERRATED! GUYS? STEF DIED AS HERO. period
DO U PEOPLE REALLY DRINK BLOOD OF HUMANS OR WHAT OR ITS REDWINE IT FELT LIKE PUKIN WATCHIN U PEOPLE DRINK THAT , BEING IN LOVE IS ONE THING AND ACTING LIKE INSANE U FELL IN LOVE AND OTHER MOMENT U ALL R HUNGRY FOR FOR BLOOD ITS MYSTIC
I think it depends on the timeline in 1864 Damon was overall the better one while Stefan was killing innocents and guilty alike just for the fun of it and because of blood driving him Damon did the snatch eat and erase only when hungry not for any amusement he did not start fully embracing the snatch eat and erase until 1912 and the people he actually killed were criminals since he told Lexi how do you know they did not have it coming to them it was not till the 1950s thar he started having fun killing innocents and guilty alike Damon did not force Stefan to drink Human blood in 1912 Stefan agreed to it although reluctantly Damon did not know that Stefan would go ballistic and even offered to teach Stefan how to stop so Stefan would not go overboard again but Stefan refused his help Stefan feeding on animal blood will not help his blood addiction he should of got lessons of snatch eat and erase moderation by Damon or Lexi or even both not obtain from human blood completely cold turkey
damon helped katherine kill humans! 1912 damon forced stefan to drink and that turned him into the ripper. damon ruined stefans life. your flawed logic is just pointing out stefans bad things not damon. and why r u, a damon fan, here? u cant handle that some people like stefan more?
@@gweters Damon did not force Stefan nor did he near force him to drink human blood again in 1912 he talked him into it he did not know Stefan would act so savagely while doing it though I agree with the part about Damon helping Katherine eliminate Humans though that was shady though yeah.
damon ist der bessere allein dass er immer seinen kleinen bruder retten wollte zum beisspiel als sie klein waren hat damon gesagt er hat das geld gestohlen obwohl er es nicht war damit stefan nicht vestraft wird seine hand wurde verbrannt er hat kathrine geliebt und hat fast 200 jahre aus sie gewartet damit sie ihm sagt dass sie ihn nie geliebt hat und elena sagt ihm einfach ins gesicht es wird immer stefan sein er hat stefan maniepulliert dass er geht damit er ein glückliches menschenleben führen kann mit caroline und stefan hat ihn gezwungen blut zu trinken damit er nicht alleine ist allein das ist selbsüchtiger als alles was damon je getan hat und hat ihn auch einfsch vergessen als er gestorben ist als wäre nichts gewesen und damon war 5 jahre in einer zelle mit einem kleinem glas blut am tag und man hat ihn gefoltert und zerstümmelt kein wunder dass er böse wurde und stefan hat enzo getötet egal ob seine menschlichkeit aus war er musste ihn nicht töten aber er wollte es nachdem bonnie ihn mehrmals gerettet hat hat er ihr leben zerstört
damon is the better alone that he always wanted to save his little brother for example when they were little damon said he stole the money although he wasn't so stefan his hand was burned he loved kathrine and is almost 200 years old Waiting for her to tell him that she never loved him and elena just tells him in the face it will always be stefan he has manicured stefan that he leaves so that he can lead a happy human life with caroline and stefan has forced him to drink blood with it he is not alone is alone that is more selfish than anything damon has ever done and he also forgot when he died as if nothing had happened and damon was in a cell with a small glass of blood a day for 5 years and he was tortured and no wonder that he got angry and stefan killed enzo no matter if his humanity was out he didn't have to kill him but he wanted to do it after bon never saved him several times, he destroyed her life
And let's forget about Damon killing Alaric, Jeremy (coz Elena refused to kiss him), Tyler (but he also didn't have to kill him and even more. Stefan did this coz his target was killing Elena and Enzo would be a block. But Damon did this without ANY fucking reasons), Lexi (simply coz he wanted Stefan suffering), Zach, his pregnant wife and many others. And forget Stefan saving Damon in S1 from the being burnt, in S2 from death from werewolf's bite and for this going with Klaus, losing his mind and becoming a ripper. Becoming a person he always hated in himself. In S7 from the hunter and running from her 3 years and at the moment Stefan saved Damon his woman was giving birth to the children that could literally kill her! And what did Damon do while Stefan was running from hunter? Slept in the coffin waiting for Bonnie's death and Elena's wake up. Wasn't it selfish? Of course was, we're speaking ab Damon. To Bonnie, to Stefan. And at that moment Bonnie didn't have Enzo, she was almost alone. In S8 dying instead of happy life with his wife and her children. And Damon... Stealing Elena from Stefan while Stefan was saving his ass, getting jealous to him more than 100 years coz Katherine turned him too, promising him an eternity of misery, forgetting about him existing for the whole summer while having fun with his ex while Stefan was drowningin the coffin... Yeah, absolutely not selfish. And when did Damon saved Stefan by risking his own life or health? When they were children, in the end of S5 and in the end of S8. So no, Damon is absolutely not the better brother or the better man. Stefan is. Damon is not.
I felt that way too. But he was human. He would have to die one day and so chose to die as a hero. Eventually, he'll see his beloved wife and his brother again in afterlife. They'll have all of eternity in peace as one big happy family. ;)
Stefan is inherently good, when he was put in someone’s body, he didn’t remember who he was or anything but his first instinct is to save people on the bus. That was his first instinct. Damon had to learn to be good and it was always fragile, if elena broke his heart he would go on a killing spree. He needed an anchor to be good, while Stefan was good just because. The show glamourises that disturbing trope of the bad boy turning good just because of a girl, “I can change him” headass. “She makes me wanna be a better man” headass. I’ll never forget Damon killed a pregnant woman, that’s sick. The people justifying his actions with his past or viewing him as a “misunderstood guy who deserve better”, y’all are sick too. It’s people like you that date abusers and murderers in real life because they’re good looking. Best believe if someone conventionally unattractive played Damon, people would hate him more. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 😌

I believe Stefan would say Damon is better because Stefan was humble like that. That, in itself, makes him the better man! He truly didn't see himself as better, but we did. We know better. Thanks for this video that portrays Stefan as the better man!
I always knew Stefan was the better man, better than Damon. He's spent so many years to redeem himself for the person he never wanted to be and that washes away when he's forced to make decisions for Elena and Damon. He had to lose the girl he loved to his own brother but didn't try to win her back because he knew how much his brother loved her even if he loved her too. He became a person of his own, still standing by the people who screw him over and he doesn't complain once. Stefan was and always is the best person in the Vampire Diaries, the hero (even if Julie Plec wanted it to be solely on Delena), and the one who really deserved better. But I'm glad he's with Lexie now, he deserves to be in peace.
Yass periodt
Well, he couldn't get rid of his brother even in death.
I don't care about what people say. Stefan is and always will be the better man and the better brother. Stefan always saved and cared about everyone, not Damon. Stefan was the one who died to save Mystic Falls, not Damon. Stefan's pure heart was really his curse. He was so kind, caring, humble, selfless and so strong, i can't even describe this beautiful person. Damon may have a good heart deep inside but Stefan is and always will be the hero and the better man.
MegsMakeup Stefan was a ripper....No way in hell was he the better man nor was his heart pure.....He's killed more people than Damon and has done nothing but regress....Killing himself to atone for his sins didn't do him any good.
He was the first out of the two brothers to revel in his vampirism....Damon had to leave town just so he could keep them from being killed...Damon was the hero...Always the one to get things done even by having the people he loved the most hate him for it....Stefan couldn't do the things Damon did....Too busy worrying about collateral damage.
Agreed
Hazel Amarie Damon cared only about Elena. he was is selfish and ruthless . ik u can't hate him but u can't certainly call him better. Stefan was and always will be a better man , a better boyfriend and a better brother. he sacrifices everything. while yes Stefan does become a ripper but he never cherished it. he hated it while Damon enjoyed killing people. he kills Jeremy for no reason without knowing he had his ring. he kills Alaric just because he was pissed. he left enzo to die while he sacrifices his blood to escape. he hesitates to give the cure. he never cared about bonnie before. he turned Caroline into a blood bag. he betrayed his baby bro and kissed his girl when he was protecting them both. he's done horrible things.while Stefan he saves him every time. and remember when Katherine was Elena n kissed Stefan he pushed her away cuz even though he loved her he loved and respected his brother more. while Damon kisses Elena when she was with Stefan. Stefan saved matt because that's what elena said n Damon wanted to kill him. Stefan not only cared about Elena but everyone around him. he may loose control but he's always had a pure heart.
Paul's fandom is made up of the loveliest, kindest, and sweetest people I've ever seen in any fandom.
MegsMakeup yeah I pretty much hate Damon
Who knew emily bennet was speaking the most truthful thing in tvd stefans pure heart will be a curse and it was and it destroyed hum
i am sad that i gave to agree:((((
Also selene and rayna cruz
Pure heart is a bit of a stretch he was not Jesus
@@matthewmann8969 ofc he was not the most innocent person and he did so many bad things he was goddamn vampire lmao he was bound to do bad things lmaooooo. but his first instict was always to help people. He always put everyone else before himself and he was always trying to be good and to be a better person and well it is a vampire show so that wasnt really possible. and emily said that him being such a good person (before he turned) would be his downfall as a vamp. which is what made him a became a ripper.
@@itsmeelle1843 Except for the part where he knew how Damon felt about Katherine and did not care a pure heart would of cared at that very moment and that was him as a Human so vampirism cannot be used as a crutch, cane, cast, walker, wheelchair, ramp, scooter, body brace, face brace, or and tooth brace.
Also note before any of the Salvatores were compelled for different reasons by Katherine when they were playing ball and Katherine wanted to be chased Damon was the one to make the first move for her not Stefan.
At the end of the day, it was Stefan's story. The one. The better man. I'm a steroline fan but Stefan is Stefan.. always. He deserved better.
Stefan:
*treats all women like queens*
*forgives Damon for committing the most unspeakable acts*
*Respects Elenas choices*
*puts others happiness before his own*
*is selfless*
*is the perfect boyfriend*
*amazing friend*
*owns up to his wrongful actions*
*lets his big brother steal his girlfriend*
*wants Elena to be happy even if it’s not with him*
*tells Elena to not give up on Damon.
*Literally sacrifices himself the day he gets married just so Damon could run off into the sunset with the love of his life*
Damon:
*loves Elena*
“He’s the better man... the right man.”
Paul Wesley reading the script: what kind of fuccery is this??
Damon also tried to sacrifice himself for Stefan and otners Stefan just beat him to the punch in the last season at that point they were equally at the same level of moral action
Lol. Right? This show really turned to garbage for Damon.
@@matthewmann8969 huh? he didn’t do anything when damon was gonna sacrifice himself for people, stefan was human, he was gonna die either way, & he wanted damon to have a future with elena.
@@kevin-bp3ne it’s Ok, don’t Acknowledge imbeciles😂😂😂😂. They never learn although they think they know everything about the show.
@@kevin-bp3ne Yeah I know as I said both at THAT TIME were equally sacrificial Damon was going to die for everyone just as Stefan was so at that time both were the better people not one over the other
OMG I'm crying again ! Stefan is the better man !
anybody who has watched the entire series will know that Stefan was the better man from day one
Unfortunately some people are still blinded by Damon's jokes and eye twitching that they actually have the audacity to say that Stefan is evil!
Lily With The Good Hair YELL IT LOUDER FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK!!
I’ll never understand how people can be so blind. Stefan was, is, and always will be the hero. Damon was clearly evil. I’m gonna re-watch the good times, re-read the books and hope that I live long enough to see the day that the series is re-adapted/rebooted properly. With actual sense, accuracy, and fairness to the characters that deserve better.
@@johnathangrey2003 YESSS!!!
@Lily With The Good Hair, Good Hero Hair :) HECK TO THE YESSS!!! Thank you, friend. Great minds think alike.
nobody can come even close to how well #PaulWesley acted in the show, how badly his character was down-written still gave his 100% and yes he is the better man and will always be my fav. #StefanSalvatore #Stelena #TVD
i still cant believe that people think ians the better actor.
Stefan was ... Stefan is... Stefan will always be the Better Man. Always and Forever 🖤❤️
Yes , he is ! He did everything for Elena ! i don't know why she leave Stefan 😭 They were soulmates ! Stelena is my endgame ! stelena always and forever 😭😭😭💘
nah elena didnt deserve stefan after she slept with his brother like a day after they broke up
@@fizzymilk610 Yeah! I don't know how people can still ship them. Elena isn't even worth a hair on Stefan's head
@@fizzymilk610 I was rewatching the vampire diaries and realized how much lean didnt deserve him. she kissed Damon while they were dating and slept with Damon a day after they broke up. and the only reason they broke up is because stefan knew that she loved Damon more than him, but he still cared for her!
The way Elena was written in the show, she definitely didn’t deserve Stefan.
The books on the other hand, Elena is a completely different person. Their story is different. They are actual soulmates even, with a silver string tied between them spiritually. Caroline in the show is Elena in the books, Katherine in the books is Elena in the show, and Katherine in the show, minus the evil, is probably the most like Meredith Sulez. Someone they wrote out, despite being a main character, good person and bestfriend to Bonnie & Elena. As well as the only human that’s scary enough to terrify Damon. While their are issues in regards to toxic triangle drama. It’s not nearly as bad. It’s always abundantly clear Elena chooses Stefan, and the relationship dynamic is more similar to the one he had with Caroline in the earlier seasons. Her love for Stefan actually breaks her sirebond (which has nothing to do with loving before turning) to Damon, whom she promptly rejects. It never even made sense to me and felt out of character whenever the Damon stuff would happen, felt more like the writers in both cases playing out their own fantasies. Just goes to show how much potential was wasted. They could’ve cleared away the negatives, but instead piled on, and attempted to tear Stefan down (he wasn’t a ripper or blood addict), succeeding to do so with Elena, and the story as a whole.
Stefan deserves better. He gave up everything for everyone time and time again. He loved, he sacrificed, he endured, and he fought the worst parts of who he was to be a better man. He was the better man. Damon was selfish, vindictive, and vengeful. He reveled in every terrible part of him until obsession, not love, redeemed him. And even in his redemption he remained the same narcissistic and selfish person that he always was. I don’t even blame the characters, I blame the writers for deciding their mutually terrible fates. Damon stole Stefan’s joy for over a century, his girl, his cure, and his show. Stefan was the protagonist, the tragic hero, but the meddling of Damon/Ian fans, and the writers foolish enough to listen them vilified him, right up until his heroic sacrifice. And he never defended himself, never justified, never excused or boasted his superiority. He humbly accepted the weight of the world and the worlds of those around him. Justice for Stefan!
JOHNATHAN DESERVES TO GO TO FUCKING HARVARD after that Outstanding Declarative Statement About How Humble My boa Stefan is💯
Thank you so much!!! I try.
The thing that seriously disappoints me about it, is how big of a divergence it is from the original books. Granted, L.J Smith did have similar issues to the CW’s choices, primarily in regards to Damon, and the toxic triangle drama. Just not nearly as much, nor as bad. It was always abundantly clear that Stefan is the hero, that he is the good man, the one that Elena loves & chooses (literal soul mates, it’s actually her love for him that breaks her sirebond to Damon), Matt and him becoming bestfriends even. There’s no ripper past, no humanity switches, and no blood addiction. Just a vampire, murdered by his brother (not his father) in a duel to the death over Katherine, doing his best to do good. Even the whole needing to know Elena part wasn’t how it happened. He wasn’t returning home, they weren’t from Mystic Falls or Fell’s Church as it was called. He just picked a town, a boarding house with an eccentric & loveable old witch Ms. Flowers, a school, to try to be human, have friends, and live a normal life. When he happened to meet a girl that looked like Katherine. And actually avoided her because of the painful memories it brought back. She pursued him, very intensely and it wasn’t until he saved her life, think Tyler, Vicki (Elena), Jeremy (Stefan) and that tree in the first season, except worse, that he finally let himself open up to her. Elena in the books is basically Caroline in the show, one big point of their relationship is his good of an influence he is on her becoming a genuinely good person. Elena in the show is far more similar to Katherine in the books. Even just looking at the imagery for their animals. In the books vampires could shapeshift into animals (fly, control the weather, etc), that’s why they had the crow initially before they retconned it. Stefan could become an eagle, Damon a crow, completely reflective of their natures. And awesome moments, completely unrelated to romance, like Stefan standing up to that teacher. In the show, it was for Elena, still a very nice thing to do. But in the books, it was for Bonnie’s sake, who he hadn’t even met yet. Just a complete stranger he had no romantic interest in, that he took the time to care about. It wasn’t even a contest over specific dates, instead Stefan explaining about the culture of the renaissance and how they did have games (Bon panicked on a question). Since that was when he grew up, as an aristocrat in the Italian renaissance during the 1400s. They changed so much, and not for the better. They wasted so much potential. Stefan, Paul Wesley, and all of us deserved better.
It’s as if they forgot their own opening narration:
“For over a century I have lived in secret, hiding in the shadows, alone in the world, until now. I am a vampire. And this is my story.”
Damon was not always selfish and narcissistic he became that way somewhat after he returned from the war as a Human though but to say he was always like that is a stretch he was not Kai who was born a psychopath
@@matthewmann8969 i agree but no one is born as a psychopath . Kai was also broken like klaus - his family member hated him , he was isolated bcoz he was a siphoner which made him turn into a psychopath
@@matthewmann8969 he took his brothers girl that explains everything
Stefan Salvatore always was and always will be the better man he was the true hero of this series. What I love about him is that he's not the perfectly pure saintlike hero, sure he's a good guy but he's committed his share of sins . He has innocent blood on his hands but unlike Klaus or Damon he doesn't make excuses he owns up to what he's done. And he strives to be a better person and repent for his sins which not only makes him more human but more heroic. Stefan Salvatore was the true hero of this show and the best character.
When I first watched tvd I loved Damon, and delena. Then I finished it didn't cry about Stefan and loved Damon and Elena. But then, 3 weeks ago I saw it on Netflix and decided to watch every episode again and that's when I realized that Stefan was always better than Damon and that I hate Damon now, I guess when I first watched this show I didn't realize that Damon litterly stole everything from Stefan. So, I love Stefan Salvatore freak everybody else (instead of bonnie and Caroline :) ) I rest my case.
I 100% agree
So true! What’s worse is that isn’t the books story either. Damon tried to steal everything, but Stefan came out the winning hero in the end. And Caroline’s character, is basically novel Elena. TVD would’ve been infinitely better if they stuck closer to the original source material. Or at the very least, gave Stefan the happy ending he deserved.
I don't understand why people realise that only on rewatch... 😒

@@nadia-wl4fx ONG NADIA
This was his story and no one can change my mind Stefan was better person and brother !
He was always the better man.
Really even in 1864 and 1912 to the 1930s?
@@matthewmann8969 in 1864? wym? when he forced damon to turn, its bc he didn’t want to be alone, he just needed his brother by his, & 1912? pretty sure that was when damon forced him to feed, & 1920 he was off the rails bc of damon
@@kevin-bp3ne ON BLACK DISCIPLE, U JUST HIT HIS ASS WITH HELLA FACTS.
@@kevin-bp3ne In 1864 while both Salvatores wanted revenge on the founding families Stefan was the only one acting on it while Damon was being more reasonable, responsible, logical, prudent, pragmatic, thoughtful, precise, and practical before meeting Sage he only fed on select Humans for food only when hungry like most other Vampires do including Lexi and he did not like getting his clothes messy so he fed on them in a calm calculated way where they did not make any sounds of pain. While Stefan I understand has Ripper tendencies was the complete opposite lacking class too and cleanliness and not only killed but tortured people even non founding family members for fun.
In 1912 once Damon eventually went along with Sages teachings of seeing the select people he preys upon for more then just food when in need of sustanance but also as playthings and rape victims is when Damon became bad in his actions he did not expect Stefan to loose it though you could tell by the shocked and disgusted look on his face. And offered to teach Stefan how to learn how to feed without killing so that same mistake would not happen but instead Stefan denied his help. Damon still should of stopped Stefan though regardless if Stefan wanted his help or not because Stefan would still draw too much attention.
@@kevin-bp3ne Damon never wanted to turn, Stefan forced him because he was alone and that makes him the Better man? How? Damon will always be the better man

Rest in peace without Damon,Elena and other parasites...🌙🌹💖
Becoming a vampire obviously changes one into a monster, but as Katherine put it, their humanity sometimes got in the way -- some more than others. Tbf, Damon chose to become a vampire for Katherine, but when he thought she had died, he no longer wanted to live and therefore, didn't want to transition. Damon wasn't mad because Stefan made him become a vampire. He was mad because Katherine turned Stefan too. Did that have something to do with his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad vampire ways? Perhaps. But based on the different vampire personalities, it had a lot to do with how they were as a human, and then that got amplified. Stefan was pure at heart. When his humanity switch was on, he was the hero/martyr and deeply cared for people. Vickie had an addictive personality. As a vampire, blood replaced drugs. Human Elena chose Stefan, but vampire Elena chose Damon. Caroline was a control freak, which probably made her the best vampire of all, because as long as her humanity switch was on or even partially on, she could control her blood lust like no other vampire.
So to me, Damon was jealous of Stefan. As a human and as a vampire. As a vampire, that jealousy was magnified and he acted out on it. For example, he maliciously killed his brother's best friend and stole his girl. And Stefan forgave him.
So in a nutshell, Stefan could forgive the unforgivable, and that's why, in my eyes, he is the better man.
Stefan forgave Damon because Stefan has said and acknowledged that the bad blood between them started because of himself not justifying Damon but saying Damon was not screwing with Stefan decades later for no reason
@@matthewmann8969 leave me alone
my pure baby! I love him more than everyone else! He deserve the world! its always gonna be stefan!

Always and forever
My favorite tvd character.
stefan. deserved. better.
Thank you for this gorgeous video. Stefan deserved so much better, smh. It was a SERIOUS disservice to his character to have had him tell Elena that his brother was the "better man." I miss Stefan. :/
If I could get the chance to change some things in tvd :
1) Giving everyone thier happy endings
Bamon , steferine , maelena , klaroline , tyliv , jalaric etc
2) Making matt a more useful human
3) Showing how katherine and damon can be redeemed ( changing damon to a good person after he fells for Bonnie instead of elena while being in the prison world , elena forgetting damon and being with matt after alaric's compulsion, katherine being redeemed by stefan and nadia's love )
4) Removing steroline and instead adding Jenna with alaric and having kids and klaus killing somebody else instead of Jenna in his ritual
5) Klaus starting to realize how to be a good person by being with caroline and adopting a baby or maybe having a baby by some magical spell
I’ve watched tvd 4 times, I am always gonna be team stefan, he IS the man
I appreciate tvd especially the story of Stefan the best hero of serie
Sometimes he was an anti hero and good person😉
Good job for the video
i love this so much oml.

*Stefan is the better man*
Стефан винаги е бил по-добрият!❤
That was soo beautiful ❤❤ i love him! He will always be my fav character ❤
I'm sorry, but I literally STAN Stefan, Bonnie and Caroline hands down! Damon is good in some ways, but if he were a real person and average looking, you could definitely see how toxic he can be. Elena is just straight up self centred
Most people on the show are poisonous not just Damon
stefan is better in a lot of ways and you can't prove me wrong. he would do everything for elena , he has always with her in her hardest times and he was always trying to find a way to help her. but damon just told her to turn it off ...he wanted to leave so elena could be happy with damon. he never stopped loving her HE'S THE B E T T E R MAN
"Hello brother"😭
Stefen is a better man forever!!
Thank you for making this.
you should include when he gave the cure to Elena too, great video!
in season 4?
thank u
Stefan will be always the better man ❤
My thing is why are all these Damon fans on a Stefan is the better man video if you disagree than don't click on the video and look at the comments when you know you disagree with that and your only wasting your time and everybody else's if you have a problem keep it to yourself.
Even in your death, your heart is pure Stefan.That will be your curse.

Stefan Salvatore is the better man
It will always be Stefan😍
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. THE TEA IS SCALDING.
I don’t care if Stefan is the better man or not but I know that it will always be Stefan
even though everyone loved stefan, he deserved better.
The biggest mistake in the show was Elena choosing Damon
The point is not who's the better man ,cz they are both the best men when time or situation needs them to be,but above all they are the best brothers
Yes, he is the better man and the better brother.
I am a vampire and this is my story.period
i havent word to explain ......................stefens humanity
Amazing editing and that voiceovers were so on point 💓
I love Stefan idc what others think
not y’all saying Damon is better🤮
disgusting ass ppl
Always been team Stefan
👇🏽
I'm crying. This is a beautiful video ❤️❤️
STEFAN DESERVED BETTER!
wooow! it's a very great job!
thank you
stefan is very great vampire and he is god looking boy)))
Everyone seemed to like Stefan in season 1 like he was a legit hero but when elena started to fall for Damon everyone started to like Damon more
damon didnt change bc of elena, after he was stuck with bonnie in the prison world, she changed him not elena
Stefan is better man and better brother and he will be always better , I am so happy that he got married to Caroline not Elena she never deserved him .
I still remember when damon slept with elena the day after she and stefan broke up then told her not to tell him then remember when katherine was in elena's body and wanted to sleep with stefan the day after she dumped damon but he wouldn’t cause it would hurt damon?
Yeah, that's the diffrence and there are so many incidents where Damon tries to ruin Stefan life , he literally kill Lexi just to hurt Stefan and people still say Damon is better man like seriously ?? I can never understand what people made think like this .
Stefan>>>> Damon
#Teamstefan always ❤️

And the through will set you free.
yes yes yes yes and yes all over again ❤️
I don't know why people prefere Damon, it's always gonna be Stefan
bc apparently damon is super hot, he is, but stefan wins always
Like don't get me wrong Damon has made me laugh with his humor more times than I could stay for Stefan but Stefan will always be the better brother. I'm a Stelena fan and i can go on a rant for hours about how good Stelena was but to sum it up I've never seen Stefan so in love and happy with someone than he was when he was with Elena. And I've never seen him more hurt, lost and heartbroken then when Elena left him. Like it was inevitable seeing how obsessed Damon was for Katherine that he would catch feelings for Elena and that it would become a love triangle but Elena chosing Damon over Stefan kinda of came out of nowhere. It's just so sad because they had great potential as a couple and the character development Damon would have gotten if he let go of his feelings for Elena for his brothers happiness would have been astronomical. He didn't even care that he stole his girl, the love of his life. I feel like Damon and Elena would have been way more powerful as friends than as a couple.
Everytime.
im confused, damon is the one who wanted to become a vampire in the first place but then when stefan got him to complete the transition, damon hated him.
I hate how they changed that from the books. In the original story, Katherine fakes her own suicide to force the brothers to stop fighting over her and love each other again . Instead, they fight over her daylight ring, and duel to the death with swords, killing each other & turning into vampires. Damon reveled in being a vampire & Stefan hated it, choosing to feed on animals. It made more sense to me.
vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Stefan_Salvatore_(novel)
No, that change actually made the series better. It would have felt inhuman for the Salvatores to kill each other in the name of Katherine.
Right, like u held decades of resentment because he gave u what u wanted????
I think he was really mad that Katherine essentially abandoned him and took it out on Stefan.
@@kiramorrissette3838 This^
It started with Stefan
It ended with him
But pls, no hatred for Damon
Stefan is the better man. Except his problem of controlling his hunger, he is perfect. Yet, because of the poor writing of the show he ended up dead after sacrificing everything.
Damon is no doubt the toxic one. Killing anybody he wants, carefree. And since I'm fucked up in the mind, its always gonna be him for me.
But Stefan > Damon always.
That is due to the ripper gene though
I am fucking sobbing
I’m trying to get I’ve the fact that I dream about Damon so now I need to change my liking cuz my heart hurts 😂😂
They did Stefan so dirty in this show, I hate them. He deserved the world, what a pure kindhearted soul. The amount of times he sacrificed himself: when he went with Klaus to save Damon’s life and had to become a ripper again knowing it would kill him inside, when he went after Elena in the tomb not knowing if he would come out, when he went into the tomb AGAIN to save Jeremy from Katherine and got stuck in there with her, when he took the huntress mark instead of Damon.
He was and always will be the better man. Awful writing ruined that. I will always think of Stelena as endgame and will remember them as up to 3x01 (except that scene in season 2 where Elena kisses Damon when he’s dying).
Elena doesn't deserve stefan. She never was worthy of him
Stefan is the better man!! Damon could of been but he had been ruthless, to focused on revenge and without humanity for so long it consumed him *-Damon-* *stefan* will always be the better man !! Even tho im team *DAMON* !!!❤
Ik majority are team Damon and I have noooooo freaking idea how
please say sike
no sorry boo
now leave we dont need toxic damon fans here
I've watched TVD only one time and i clearly understood what Stefan meant when he said "he is the better man"
he meant... he is the better version of Damon
he was not comparing himself and Damon
but that Damon disappeared when he became a vampire...
the older brother he looked up to..... the son who enlisted in the civil war
he said that he wanted that Damon to live and he wanted Elena to see him
he is the better man means he is the better version of Damon
Stefan never said he is better than me (stefan)
please understand that first
I understand that, and even that is not true considering Damon still willingly enlisted into the confederacy and was fighting, yes because of his father, but also to keep slavery unfortunately. That’s just wrong lolll, and sad. Another thing; human Damon came back from the war and Was luring people to their deaths with Katherine. ( as a HUMAN). By that time Stefan as a human had done nothing but lost his virginity to Valerie, ( which was before Katherine, had even shown up)
@@Web497 True but once they became Vampires fully transitioned Damon at least until 1912 only fed on Non important members of society for food only he was very prudent, practical, pragmatic, thoughtful, aware, cautious, classy, and fashionable before he adopted Sages lessons or teachings yeah.
In a world full of damons be stefen
100%
WHo is stefan true love?Caroline or elena or Katherine
Where do you get your clips
I hella love STEFAN FROM DAY ONE! Btw stef is good looking but Damon is attractive. Damon is hot savage etc. Guys just see Damon the better brother views! He's way too OVERRATED! GUYS? STEF DIED AS HERO. period

DO U PEOPLE REALLY DRINK BLOOD OF HUMANS OR WHAT
OR ITS REDWINE IT FELT LIKE PUKIN WATCHIN U PEOPLE DRINK THAT , BEING IN LOVE IS ONE THING AND ACTING LIKE INSANE U FELL IN LOVE AND OTHER MOMENT U ALL R HUNGRY FOR FOR BLOOD ITS MYSTIC
I think it depends on the timeline in 1864 Damon was overall the better one while Stefan was killing innocents and guilty alike just for the fun of it and because of blood driving him Damon did the snatch eat and erase only when hungry not for any amusement he did not start fully embracing the snatch eat and erase until 1912 and the people he actually killed were criminals since he told Lexi how do you know they did not have it coming to them it was not till the 1950s thar he started having fun killing innocents and guilty alike Damon did not force Stefan to drink Human blood in 1912 Stefan agreed to it although reluctantly Damon did not know that Stefan would go ballistic and even offered to teach Stefan how to stop so Stefan would not go overboard again but Stefan refused his help Stefan feeding on animal blood will not help his blood addiction he should of got lessons of snatch eat and erase moderation by Damon or Lexi or even both not obtain from human blood completely cold turkey
damon helped katherine kill humans! 1912 damon forced stefan to drink and that turned him into the ripper. damon ruined stefans life. your flawed logic is just pointing out stefans bad things not damon. and why r u, a damon fan, here? u cant handle that some people like stefan more?
@@gweters Damon did not force Stefan nor did he near force him to drink human blood again in 1912 he talked him into it he did not know Stefan would act so savagely while doing it though I agree with the part about Damon helping Katherine eliminate Humans though that was shady though yeah.
damon ist der bessere allein dass er immer seinen kleinen bruder retten wollte zum beisspiel als sie klein waren hat damon gesagt er hat das geld gestohlen obwohl er es nicht war damit stefan nicht vestraft wird seine hand wurde verbrannt er hat kathrine geliebt und hat fast 200 jahre aus sie gewartet damit sie ihm sagt dass sie ihn nie geliebt hat und elena sagt ihm einfach ins gesicht es wird immer stefan sein er hat stefan maniepulliert dass er geht damit er ein glückliches menschenleben führen kann mit caroline und stefan hat ihn gezwungen blut zu trinken damit er nicht alleine ist allein das ist selbsüchtiger als alles was damon je getan hat und hat ihn auch einfsch vergessen als er gestorben ist als wäre nichts gewesen und damon war 5 jahre in einer zelle mit einem kleinem glas blut am tag und man hat ihn gefoltert und zerstümmelt kein wunder dass er böse wurde und stefan hat enzo getötet egal ob seine menschlichkeit aus war er musste ihn nicht töten aber er wollte es nachdem bonnie ihn mehrmals gerettet hat hat er ihr leben zerstört

@@kevin-bp3ne TVD in simple words- Stefan is the better man, Damon is selfish, Elena is a bitch, Salvatore Brothers are best.
damon is the better alone that he always wanted to save his little brother for example when they were little damon said he stole the money although he wasn't so stefan his hand was burned he loved kathrine and is almost 200 years old Waiting for her to tell him that she never loved him and elena just tells him in the face it will always be stefan he has manicured stefan that he leaves so that he can lead a happy human life with caroline and stefan has forced him to drink blood with it he is not alone is alone that is more selfish than anything damon has ever done and he also forgot when he died as if nothing had happened and damon was in a cell with a small glass of blood a day for 5 years and he was tortured and no wonder that he got angry and stefan killed enzo no matter if his humanity was out he didn't have to kill him but he wanted to do it after bon never saved him several times, he destroyed her life
Rewatch the show. Keep rewatching until you finally realize Damon was no match to Stefan right from the first episode.
MaquaCR she just likes selfish toxic men. Who won’t change for Elena. no matter his love for Elena.
Girl u gotta but periods and commans😳
And let's forget about Damon killing Alaric, Jeremy (coz Elena refused to kiss him), Tyler (but he also didn't have to kill him and even more. Stefan did this coz his target was killing Elena and Enzo would be a block. But Damon did this without ANY fucking reasons), Lexi (simply coz he wanted Stefan suffering), Zach, his pregnant wife and many others. And forget Stefan saving Damon in S1 from the being burnt, in S2 from death from werewolf's bite and for this going with Klaus, losing his mind and becoming a ripper. Becoming a person he always hated in himself. In S7 from the hunter and running from her 3 years and at the moment Stefan saved Damon his woman was giving birth to the children that could literally kill her! And what did Damon do while Stefan was running from hunter? Slept in the coffin waiting for Bonnie's death and Elena's wake up. Wasn't it selfish? Of course was, we're speaking ab Damon. To Bonnie, to Stefan. And at that moment Bonnie didn't have Enzo, she was almost alone. In S8 dying instead of happy life with his wife and her children.
And Damon... Stealing Elena from Stefan while Stefan was saving his ass, getting jealous to him more than 100 years coz Katherine turned him too, promising him an eternity of misery, forgetting about him existing for the whole summer while having fun with his ex while Stefan was drowningin the coffin... Yeah, absolutely not selfish.
And when did Damon saved Stefan by risking his own life or health? When they were children, in the end of S5 and in the end of S8.
So no, Damon is absolutely not the better brother or the better man. Stefan is. Damon is not.
@@Sanjot1234_ ON BRO!
my baby didn’t deserve death :(
I felt that way too. But he was human. He would have to die one day and so chose to die as a hero. Eventually, he'll see his beloved wife and his brother again in afterlife. They'll have all of eternity in peace as one big happy family. ;)
Stefan is inherently good, when he was put in someone’s body, he didn’t remember who he was or anything but his first instinct is to save people on the bus. That was his first instinct. Damon had to learn to be good and it was always fragile, if elena broke his heart he would go on a killing spree. He needed an anchor to be good, while Stefan was good just because. The show glamourises that disturbing trope of the bad boy turning good just because of a girl, “I can change him” headass. “She makes me wanna be a better man” headass. I’ll never forget Damon killed a pregnant woman, that’s sick. The people justifying his actions with his past or viewing him as a “misunderstood guy who deserve better”, y’all are sick too. It’s people like you that date abusers and murderers in real life because they’re good looking. Best believe if someone conventionally unattractive played Damon, people would hate him more. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk 😌
Thank you, Thank you.. damon was so selfish, unstable and obsessed with elena.
