I'm sad you didn't even touch the whole incest-not-incest-maybe-incest storyline
Antoine Smets ikr it made no sense
THAT CONFUSED ME SO MUCH
For everyone who didn't get the incest bit read the books or just the 3rd
I think he only watches the first episodes of these shows cause I notice that he only covers the pilots in his videos.
He only did the first episode
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
True that BC then it would have been Clary this and Clary that BC that's what the books were about thee books are great if it was just the TV show I wouldn't have known the show
not me
Yas! Preach 🙌 I haven't even watched it yet tbh because i'm scared if i'll dislike it beyond repair
Yeah. I’m literally just there for Malec, cause the show is a train wreck
midnightmares big facts 💀😭😂😂😂😂
The soundtrack was iconic tho. Ruelle smashed it
Exactly
YAAAS
YES QUEEN SAY UR FACTS
I’ve never watched the show, but I’m a fan of Ruelle.
Her music is 🔥
Malec carrying the entire show on their backs
TRUE LMAO
That's SO fucking TRUE
not rly. That's just teenage girls who thinks that way. I mean this is not even romance series
@@makimaistrash actually in the novel they focused more on clave rather than malec
@@makimaistrash lol I like malec but I just wanna say that not everyone watched this becuz of malec lol, don't try to debate with me, it's the truth, just bcuz clave doesn't have time to develop their relationship doesn't mean it is bad
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.
Plaine Zaine but the thing is I really don’t suggest reading the books cause they are chock full of unneeded incest and biphobia and honestly you don’t really have to read the books to understand the show’s plot. The show does a half decent job with making sure its audience understands the plot
artist Aperture Couldn't agree more
Plaine Zaine so very true
Plaine Zaine if he read the books he'll realize it's even worse
because the show is crap
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.
Lmao
OooooOo Malec yummy uwu. Is what i would say if i was a furry
Shadowhunters: The only show in which you can ship anyone with everyone.
Except Magnus and Alec. Ship them with anyone else and you will feel the burning wrath of the fandom.
Yasssss
Isabelle/Alec? You know their siblings right ...?
Me reading the fight scene in the books: I barely understand anything that's happening
Me watching the fight scene: I somehow understand less
I read 2 of her books and my ass was so confused when they we're fighting
Also every fight scene in every shadowhunter book I’ve read was more exciting and action packed than that scene
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.
Honestly I was OBSESSED with this series then after a while I was like wait what because of the books because i couldn't keep up with this mess i did research and then i was like tf why but if it was what the author wanted i can respect that
yes but also, the writer of the books allowed the directors to make all the changes they liked. she was there whilst filming for alot if it
I read the books and they were junks. This whole Clary-Jace brother boyfriend thing was disgusting. Not to mention a whole bunch of plot holes
Look there are so many inconsistencies within the TV show. It took me like 3 different attempts to start watching it, but I ended up watching it and tried my hardest to judge it as its own adaptation/separate from the books. BUT Oh, BOY is it so much better then the movie!
the movie is terrible. From what I remember mixes the first 3 books together (even though the movie is called City of Bones) and has so many massive plot holes.
@@geminithetwins It was originally a harry potter fan fic, sooooo. (the author wrote a fan fic (Draco/Ginny) and it got popular and from what I understand she just created new characters, but kept the overall plot the same)
I found this fact out the other day and honestly I just wanted to tell someone.
Can we also talk about the fact that the producers probably NEVER READ THE BOOKS?!
EXACTLYYY
RIGHTTTT???
THANK YOU! the show is soooo different from the books
Y E S Y E S
Artemis Fowl and Percy Jackson be like:
"She and her friend do like a fist bump explosion thing which reminds us all that they are indeed very white" SKSKSKSKSK
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
Believe me the books are not that great either.Claey is obsessed with Jace in the books .There relationship is really toxic and codependent.
Also the author wrote Alec as a brooding teenage boy .I liked this version of Alec much more.
@@areebarashid8584 I'll have to disagree with you on this. I personally liked the books. Alec is actually my favorite character! I like Clary too, although I do agree that her relationship with Jace could have been better. 😊
Agreed! The books deserved better, but I love the show as more of a spin-off than a direct adaptation
@@areebarashid8584 TF??? The books are fantastic! Yeah, their relationship was toxic, but these were the ideas of the author and just let her write as she pleases!
@@troubadourvilever6097 You are entitled to your opinion ofcourse.But the entire incest plotline ruined it for me.For first two books its all about Clary and jace and their forbidden relationship(which is not forbidden but they whinged about it for the entire 2nd book).Last three books have Clary's biological brother lusting after her.I would have liked the books more if Cassandra had gone easy on sibling incest trope.Alec and magnus were the highlight for me.Both had acknowledges flaws and had great development throughout the series.Even their relationship issues were beautifully resolved.
the only reasons most people watch shadowhunters are
1) alec
2) izzy
3) magnus
4) malec
the show stands and falls with these three
Wat about clace and sizzy and the drama lol
Arguably. Most likely:
1. Malec
2. Magnus
3. Izzy
4. Alec
At least, that'd be me 🤷♀️
dont forget the soundtrack
@@pummichell nah
malec
alec
izzy
magnus
i only like jace and izzy as a boy
In the books isabelle can literally fight in 7inch heels and clary as well as everyone is impressed
I love the books!
a bc turns out the concept of the
Series was plagiarized. Search it up 😭
@@gorillagripcoochie631 I have never seen the series xd
a bc then why’d you say you love the books if you’ve never seen them?
@@gorillagripcoochie631 I meant the Netflix series. I have never seen that one but i have read the books
Did you DARE make a comment about Alexader Gideon Lightwood's PERFECT hair?!
YASSS THAT ME! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HIS HAIR
That SEXY hair 😤
Helmet hair
There is nothing wrong with his hair. Absolutely NOTHING. The man is Perfect!
His hair is ............THE DEFINITION OF PERFECTION
1:15 ... her superpower...not breaking her legs. I mean, THAT'S ISABELLLE
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 😢
I too was disappointed from most things in the series, however I still enjoyed the show even with the differences from the books.
Rule 1: If you like the books try not to watch the film/remake series of it cause it’s usually not the same as your expections. Also I did’nt read the book but loved the series so it’s really dependent on what your expectations are.
@@NinaWatsonnn But the movie did get most accurate to the book while the show was more of a fanfiction.
@@skadaaskadeen I didn’t see the film, but yeah it probably is closer. I still like the show tho😂❤️
I read four of them in my native-language years ago and I only recognized from the comments what this supposed to be based on.
“ She gets saved by *HANDSOME MAN* “
I was honestly disappointed he didn't say "THE NATURALLY BLOND" 😂😂
Book Jace : Just...why?
I like AlfMan
I didn’t think Jace was very cute in the series, I preferred the actor in the movies
Am I the only one who conjured up someone completely different when reading the books only to be disappointed in the movie🤔 Its not like the actor was bad looking or anything. It’s just that he didn’t fit the role.
They say till this day The Brooklyn Academy of arts is still waiting for her...
I loled so Hard xD
And a few days ago, it was found out [SPOILERS FOR 3x22]
...that Clary was found at the Brooklyn Academy of Arts, displaying her new art (and hairstyle) to people
@@this_username_is_taken7004 lol 😂 it seems like U wait until the finale just to answer this comment
@@thaoao3726 Mayyyyybe 👀😏
Well..
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.
Her names maureen
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
I know. I read the books and then started watching the show and I actually had to check to see if I had started the correct show
Dot exists but she's the elderly psychic living in the apartment below
Dot is supposed to be madam Dorothea but I think the show runners wanted her to appeal to younger audiences more so they aged her down like 50 years and made her clary’s friend.
Don't really care about other characters but *MALEC IS THE HEART AND SOUL* of this show!
Many people would agree on this.
I started watching the show because I saw malec in a video about queer rep in tv shows. I did enjoy the show and I started reading the books too
Aoife Kavanagh one of my literal favorite book series! It amazes me how the how changed so much from the book, but they are each still crazy good
Y'all which books does malec happen in? I'm not a big fan of Clary so,,,
Omg yes!, I never finished season one because I cannot take anymore cringe fest fron that girl that plays Clary.
I just search for the Malec storyline cuts instead.
@@luxusken05 me 💀 like clary is so fucking annoying and it’s only season one chile. i didn’t like her in the books either so
no one hates shadowhunters more than tmi fans who actually read the books
I know right!
I have read the books and re-read them a number of times which means that i absolutely loved TMI however I also enjoyed the show and the fact that it wasn't an exact replica of the books. Idk maybe people just have different experiences with it and enjoy different things
Truuuuuu
Fr the people who read the books hate the show 😭😭
Nah I read the books after finding the show (watched it til 3x10 in 4 days) and there are so many things that don't add up in the books either or are just plain problematic. The show fixed a lot of those problems and even opened a completely new fandom that caused Cassie to write an entire new series based of Malec because they became the most popular part of the show
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 personally like the show and the movie but like the movie a little bit more. I just wish THEY MADE MORE MOVIES. Anyway, should I read the books? I don’t like reading because I usually have a hard time understanding what’s going. But idk
@@itsnina6616 yessss they should’ve made more !!!
Well, it’s hard to say because i don’t know you, but i think you should at least try them. But you’re telling me that you usually have a hard time understanding what’s going on so you’re probably gonna be completely lost because they are soooo complicated 😂
@@itsnina6616 I think you should read them. They are sooo good. They are not written in any complex way, but a lot happens in them. If you can keep up with what is happening in the plot, you should be fine. They aren’t very difficult reads and the books just get better and better with every series. The books put the show and the movies to shame.
Samee 🥺
Lmao same but i haven't read the books yet
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.
Bane Lightwood true
yep
Yes. I love Malec. Main reason I am still watching and the writers are ruining them. If all the memories gets erased I am gonna die.
yeah i agree. it still has cringy moments but third season is soo much better and more enjoyable compared to the first one. the acting is better, writing was also improved. it's good
That's right
Are your friends afraid to tell you their favorite shows?
Lorde Darius I'm afraid to tell my friends my fav TV shows lol
LMFAOOOOO
Lol I don't think he has teenage friends that watch this crap
His friends probably don’t watch shitty teen girl shows.
Ellish S He’s come for literally everything I’ve watched in the last two years lol
yeah well about the tech.... They're supposed to live in like, a victorian church. The show made the tech up
"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.
I started watching for Malec and that's the reason I'm still watching
The Weird One Is Here//Did u watch the newest episode😭😭😭😭😭😭
Keelin Juul Jensen yes i was soBBING
내baneᅢᄀ YES I WAS SOBBING
Same. I was so happy when Alec wanted to propose but then...then...😭😭😭
Literally same
"You can see me?"
Me, every time someone says "Hi"...
Ever
I'LL DO THIS NEXT TIME SOMEONE BUMPS INTO ME IN PUBLIC
@@JP-de4uj same
Almost forgot how bad the special effects were at first😳 The show really does get better
really?
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
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
Red Snowflake YESSSSSSSSSSSSS I LIVE FOR THEM
Nope. The show ruins them. They just met and all of a sudden Magnus is crashing Alec's wedding? No. It's completely out of character for Magnus, and they barely knew each other at that point. Malec develops over like three books, and in the show they just threw them together because they knew that Malec was a beloved ship and they needed views cuz the show was shit.
Effy Cook
what are you talking about? how can the show ruin them when, from what i've heard, in the book they're a token background gay relationship? lol.
Ikr 😂
Effy Cook you don't watch the show so shut the books was crap when it came to malec the show fixes them lmao
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.
This isn't a teen drama lmfao
What is the context to your comment? I mean, how does it refer to this video?
6:26 : sees girl crying in creepy room with creepy music in the background
Ad: PAMPERS
YOU SHOULD'VE WATCHED THE WEDDING SCENE PERIODT
YES
the only redeeming quality of the show is malec and not even just the relationship them as characters are just *chefs kiss*
EXACTLY OMG
It's a good _book_ series though
Keep in mind it started as harry potter fanfiction though
At least it's better than fifty shades which came from a Twilight fanfiction
Didn’t twilight come from Harry Potter fanfiction
Thats soo true! I hated the show, everyone is so stiff and weirdly perfect. The books are childish but the general mood in them is so nice! Like : Ohhh yea we're five kids living alone in a church with our teacher/librarian. And Clary's like 15 and edgy and super short and ungraceful and with like, red (book)hermione hair
@@elisabethbirgersson3973 Isn't Clary 18?
She's 15 in the books, soon to be 16. Alec's 18, but i think J and I are 16 as well
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.
Clary s hair is always too much...
Even in the book they always look good especially Isabelle. Clary does say that even after a fight Izzy’s hair still looks perfect and stuff so I guess it’s just their angel blood
malec’s back be hurting from carrying the whole show
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
Exactly
THIS
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”
Why was that me😂
Same😂 I was prepared to be offended but this is hilarious🤣
Erin Mcsweeney people have different opinions!
Erin Mcsweeney okay because it didn’t seem like you did! Have an amazing day!!
Erin Mcsweeney no problem!!
But why do they look like stock photo models
Ailin Ell cause Netflix I guess^^
One of them (Isaiah Mustafa/Luke) is.
Ailin Ell lol
Well, the main character, the girl who plays Clary, was a pretty major character in a Disney Channel movie so that should explain a few things.
Lily Berry Isaiah Mustafa is a good actor though lol
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?
Alec has the best hair on this show thank you very much
I watched this video, then watched the show, then read the books , then turned into a crazy ass fan girl,
Thank you for that
Ok but why would you watch the show first 😭
Iines Kastemaa cuz she felt like it🤷🏽♀️
The books were better... weren't they😏
Shelly tep I read all the books, watched the movie, and then the tv show.
Ashling Mc Neill honestly its trueee
and then he ran into my knife... he ran into my knife just once then turned to ash - *HE HAD IT COMIN*
Sara Dickson 😂😂
Sara Dickson r u singing Chicago? Lol
And the show ran into Lucas Film's knife
Clone wars:You know I had to give it to em
HE ONLY HAD HIMSELF TO BLAME
Sara Dickson yaasssssss Chicago 👌🏽🤩👏🏻
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
Alexander Lightwood did not fight his love for Magnus Bane for you to insult his freakishly perfect hair, dude.
Gotta love it when a professional headshot pops up on caller ID instead of, ya know, a real natural photo a friend might take.
Me: *reads title*
Me: *inhales sharply* someone’s about to die
AshaRedFox //True😂
So true😂🤣😅
Lmao true
AshaRedFox yessss
Someone finna die
The Shadowhunters serie is not as bad as the movie... the movie is... I could explain it in family friendly words
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!
7:09 don't you DARE insult Alexander😂
Magnus, is that you?
Oh come on. I love me some Daddario (hot damn!) but you gotta admit his haircut in the first season made him look like an emo poodle!
Magnus is ready to defend his husband
MALEC IS LIFE (and his 9 feet tall and has an arrow AND a magic boyfriend)🥰

“THE BOOKS ARE BETTER” say it with me
the books are better

THE BOOKS ARE BETTER
This show is so stupid compared to the book and just in general
the movie and the book are a 100000 and the show is a -0
cielols 16 sorry but the movie wasn’t very good either... but this show, that I did watch all of, it did try but some of the actors are very cringe at delivering their lines and the changes they decided to make to the books make no sense at times. Then again I did watch all of it. With the books I have read them and have reread books 4-6 several times cause I just can’t with the first three clary is so annoying in the first three and the whole incest thing, I am here for
@@salzkuuu I also think every one should remember that these are opinions and everyone is in titled to there own. Not saying you weren't respectful but just for future.

As a writer, I understand your pain. It’s always the worst thing when a book you put so much into turns out exactly the same as another series/ movie 😂
I really only watch for Malec at this point.
Same
Dark Angel I hate malec lmao
@@jasmintea8825 why?
me too
Jasmin Erdbeerkäse hate and Malec shouldn’t be in the same sentence.
The only reason I watch this show is for Malec. ❤️🏳️🌈
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...
The acting in this show legit makes me want to slam my face into a wall.
Monster Fruitloop, I seriously thought I was the only one that thought that
Monster Fruitloop especially the girl who plays Clary. I feel sorry for her because she can't act her way out of a paper bag. And her fight scenes are funny. I wish you could see my nephew's impersonation of her fighting scenes. It's hilarious. They look so fake.
thats why i stopped watching, especially claire, i thought she was so bad
NyDeviant if u can't even be bothered to spell her name right, then u dont have enough brain power to understand a show that isn't a load of shit, clearly.
Lisa Young Katherine McNamara is awesome. How about you try having to apply fake tattoos and fighting? Oh, you probably can't because you are one of the moronic twats who still uses expressions like 'act her way out of a paper bag'. Well done being an idiot, bitch.
I love it how the stickman is watching the scene.
I rely hope it's a Mystery Science Theater 3000 refefence
Ikr?! It's so funny ;D lol
Hahaha lol his positions 😂😂
And right before she gets killed, she gets saved by “HANDSOME MAAAAN!!” 😂😂😂
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......
pls read the books they are THE best
@@whispergirl19 i wanna buy them so bad and on top of it they look so good but idk where to buy them-
@@memecult2.082 amazon or u can read their pdfs online too
I swear 90% of the dialogue in this first episode is exposition
Who talks like this?
Justin Moua haha well said
I do. Just because normal American teenagers talk like their brain has been boiled, people in TV shows and movies not necessarily have to talk in the same dumb way.
The people in the books it is based on do. Trust me, compared to that the show is pure gold. I was impressed they managed to get this "good". They even made the dumb story work better and tone down the creepy and asshole factor of Jace and Magnus.
inotaishu1 I didn't read the books, I thought about it but wasn't sure, especially because it's such a long series.
PinkDonut Unicorn, and the books get longer the farther they progress.
As someone who has read the books I can say with confidence that the show is nothing like the books
I was really mad that they screwed it up so bad
We all do shadow hunters wouldn't be yhe same without the ship of the century #MALEC😍😄😅😃😍
I know ! I hate how the institute is all techy and stuff
They actually explain some questions Alex has in the books.
PoiisonousTea Uh excuse me have you read The Infernal Devices??
3:06 his superpower is just making really good old spice commercials🤣🤣
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
Not gonna lie, I love shadowhunters and I’m sad it’s been axed
It was canceled?
3B is the last season plus a two-part longer finale or something I think- then it’s over.
@Kaitlynn Clodfelter read the books, they're 100 times better
You love it? Its stupid ;_;
@Kaitlynn Clodfelter same
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.
Articwolf4123 so like how TVD started out
Why would you want that? Man, that would be hella boring and unrealistic. I want a character that says HELL FUCKING YEAH and just starts killing people and doing the devil's work. That would be awesome. I'm sick of these heroes who are unrealistically selfless.
Nick Armstrong. Fair enough. Honestly, any kind of change from the usual would be appreciated.
@@ambrosia_fragments I watched the first and second season but I stopped there. I got annoyed with most of the characters and the plot was all over the place.
@@arabian8873 this is what happens when you dont have oshun in your heart. get a therapist and a black mama
THIS SHOW IS ACTUALLY AMAZING!!
I finished 3 seasons in 4 days
@Corujinha ÒvÓ 😂😂😈
I finished the whole show in 1.5 weeks-
I don't agree, I love it so much, even the books, everything about it
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...
Sima Ivanová true
Sima Ivanová I don’t think you could say it gets better with each episode, the show is very inconsistent and tends to dip up and down a lot, but I do agree that 2b definitely improved a lot from season 1
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
xxShatteredPeacez I didn't like a bald Valentine lol
xxShatteredPeacez have you read infernal devices cuz I liked it way better
NixStellaNova _ internal devices were really good. I think I've read all the shadowhunter books, but I can't remember if the 2nd book in the new series came out last December or comes out this december
xxShatteredPeacez same for literally everything you just said (especially the malec thing)
The books themselves were unbearably cringe and over-glorified.

WHY SHADOWHUNTERS IS LIFE FRICKN LIFE
I watched the 1st season and only because of Malec (like the majority of ppl watching Shadowhunters lol), then I gave up bc the cringe was too strong
misstonight literally was only there for Malec
misstonight lol at least they got the queer part right 😂
misstonight SAAAMMMEEEEEE
They also have an asexual character which is quiet cool
The cringe is unbelievable in this show! And I liked Malec as well but let's be honest here, they're horrible actors...
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.
As someone who also read the books I beg to differ, the casting in the tv series (except alec and bane) was far from how the characters were supposed to look and be, jace was described as a sarcastic, rude yet somehow caring character that should’ve looked like a lion, beautiful gold long hair and godly features I BELIEVE JAMIE CAMPBELL was all that. He embodied the character effortlessly. As for LILY COLLINS she had amazing chemistry with JAMIE and WAS AGAIN EFFORTLESSLY FIT THE CHARACTER AND LOOKS OF CLARY innocent but brave and her character grows. Their chemistry was powerful. A lot of people preferred the movie, i think the only advantage the series had was that it had SEASONS, EPISODES, HOURS more time than THE MOVIE which only had 2HOURS to fit a 500 paged book, so ofcourse the series explained whatever their story line or flow went, better. but if the movie got continued maybe they’d see the beauty in it too because I firmly believe the movie was closer to the book , the series was a little far from the books?? The main point of making a whole series of books into a movie or tv show is for it to BE EXACTLY WHAT THE BOOK IS not creating a whole other storyline or flow, whats the point of it being named the title of the book then? Right?
Sameee
Yo is malec in the books
James Conley of courseeeee go read ittt!!
ByunsBae Bi i agree with you soooo much!!! I loved jamie as jace! And the movie is pretty accurate with the books. The series i hated it. I love kate as clary physically but her attitude and persona did not match clary at all. In the series they made clary so arrogant and so different, sometimes it didn’t even seem she liked jace, she looked more in love with simon and i hated that.
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...
I actually perfer the books, and Izzy did have personality in the books. I didn’t like the whole incest story line (even tho it wasn’t actually incest) I haven’t read TMI in a while since I’ve been reading TID, TDA and now Chain of gold, but I remember actually liking jace as a character, but hating him in the show because the actor did such a bad job of portraying him. In the series jaces only personality is being sad and loving clary. I’ve never like clary cuz she is really annoying but the show made me hate her even more. I actually now like clary cuz in TDA she is an adult and she is mature but yeah. Out of all the series TMI is my least favorite but it is 1000 times better than the show. (In my opinion)
"Because being a redhed isnt hard enough"
Me being a ginger and actually liking my hair colour: ._.
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 agree with this SO MUCH. I'm a huge fan of the books so I was pretty disappointed at first because the first season was... well, to be completely honest, I think the first 3 episodes are pretty much unwatchable. Everything was so cringy and forced and just plain BAD. But it upsets me how so many people cling on to that when the show got so much better as it went on. It distanced itself from the books to create a different yet similar story, being entertaining without telling us the same things we already knew from the books. By the second season I was 10000% on board with it and I'm still sad it got cancelled haha.
Anyways, this whole rant was just to say that I wish more people appreciated how much better it got, instead of focusing on the disaster that was the first half of the first season.
Thank God it gets better. I just started it and the acting in the first few episodes was so bad and cringe i was literally about to give up on the entire thing.
Im currently about to watch the 3rd episode but I came here first for encouragement to continue 🤦🏽♀️
@@ShaniZaki17713 keep going. First season is a bit cringe but you'll be happy by the second season.
You didn't even mention the hilarious thing they call "acting" in that show!
It's Britney Bisch wait there is acting in this show
This made me laugh so hard even though I like shadow hunters 🤣🤣
(4:49) Alright did anyone else see the sign that literally said "demon" above the guy's head?
I read the books and for me watching this show it’s absolutely impossible!
The series has nothing to do with the books apart from the characters (even if they changed some of the most important)
And they even changed the plot!
The only right thing is Alec, the only character who is quite similar to the one described in the book
i actually was a pretty big fan of the books (i was like 9 when i read them, don't judge me) and I've tried to watch the show but I just can't. it's so cringey and it has nothing to do with the books.
i was so mad when i saw what they did ti Hodge. he was such a cool character (imo) and they completely changed and ruined him
also it was easier to understand everything in the books. in the show it's like: oh! look! here we have this and this and there is that and that. we're not gonna explain anything so you're gonna be confused and can't follow the show properly! have fun! :)
@@chimmybacon1964 First season is awful compared to the second and third. The writing and the acting improves dramatically.
Giulia Petrucci When has a TV show followed exactly the plot of its respective book series? The purpose of a book to movie adaptation isn't to copy every element in the story. It's to give the audience watching an interesting taking on the story while sticking to the general overview of that series. Not only do they want to give an interesting take on something that exists, but they also want to entertain existing book readers who already know what's going to happen. If a show followed word for word, then there's nothing suspenseful of that show for fans.
Might I mention that once an author sells the rights to their books to a production company, that production company has the right to interpret that story in any way they seem fit.
Yeah I actually really enjoyed the books, but just from the commercials knew I'd never like the show.
Lmao I'm dying. They took every character and scenario from the books and dumbed them down. It's a Freeform show so I didn't expect it to be good but D A M N. The showrunners were on something. The author of the books actually throws shade at the tv show all the time and it's kind of hilarious; she gave an interview talking about how she wrote the book for 16-19 year olds and didn't realize the show was going to be made for like, 10-14 year olds who like Batman and how she had to argue for them not to turn the LGBT characters straight...the amount of shade she threw was savage. The tech and computers are the cringiest part lol; the swords they're using are seraph blades, blessed with the names of angels, one of the only things that can kill demons, and in the novels the magic they use ensures no technology works around them. For some reason in the show they took this out and gave them computers because, idk, gotta appeal to them there teens right? The Shadowhunter Chronicles are epics that span hundreds of years, and this show is just....not good lmao. Glad the author says she learned her lesson and won't be selling the adaptation rights to her other books.
Edit: I say this all as a huge fan of the books and author. The original trilogy will always have a big place in my heart because I read it at 14 just after coming out and Alec and Magnus basically saved my life, but God, Cassandra Clare is cursed to never get a decent adaptation. I'd love to see an anime series based on the books, something like Kyoukai No Kanata...
As a huge fan of the books I must say I totally agree with you.
AloofDoeEye yeah same, I couldn't stand watching more than 5 minutes of the show because I found it so cringey
Are the books as bad as the show seems to be? I bought the first three books but now I'm considering not reading them if they're gonna suck.
John-Michael Crljen no way! The books are so good, they're on a completely different level to the show
John-Michael Crljen no, the books are amazing. Maybe the first books arent as great as the others but they are worth reading. The show is just so freaking bad so i hope you'll like the books because they are just so good. It gets better and better with each book :D just dont watch the show
Rewatching the show years later, 2 things caught my eye and made me cringe so hard every time, it actually made me stop watching this unironically:
1. Clary fighting looks... unrealistic? I know in the books she is tiny and weak and whatever... but in the course of the show we are told that she learns how to fight and grow stronger and be more professional, yet her movements lack strength and power, as well as her physique. It's weird watching her fight.
2. Like a day after learning about being a shadowhunter and her introduction to the institute she runs around like she owns this place. Her whole attitude is like she knew the shadowhunter world best and her plans and morals are perfection. Her "power walks" through the building make me cringe so hard...
It’s been 2 years, And i’m really still salty about this show being so bad comparing it to the book
Everybody is still salty about this show
the show didn’t do the books good, season 1 was really bad, and around season 2 is where it gets somewhat bearable, season 3 is by far the best season genuinely. The show is almost nothing like the books, its like they took the characters and made a completely different plot.
I personally enjoyed watching the show. But I was disappointed about how different it was from the books.
I am a fan of this show, but i absolutely cannot stand Clace. I tend to skip their scenes together and whats keeping me to watch is Alec, Magnus and Malec
candes//Dosnt everyone😂
candes CLACE IS THE BEST!!!!! #CLACEFOREVER💜💜💜
STOP SKIPPING THEIR SCENES! U need therapy, go on Netflix and watch Claces first time!!! -The doctor
@@helenagabrielsen3117 i might disagree hahahha
Did u mean Clary if u did I agree
7:08 DON’T YOU DARE INSULT ALEC LIGHTWOOD! HE IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST GUYS IN THE SHOW AND HAS THE COOLEST HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jace is better
Um, Magnus has the coolest hair
Laura you're right
Yeah he's hot. And also the movie version of Jace and Clary are hotter than the tv oned
@@creativesoul176 wut no
"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!
People waking up one day and for some reason being fluent in French? Now *that's* a show I'd watch.
The reference to izzy wearing heels on the roof as her super power is basically true 😂
I know right!
The Mortal Instruments were kind of my favorite books for a while and I was so disappointed by the movie, so I didn't watch the show on purpose because I guessed it would be shit. So I've seen the first scenes out of it in this video and wow, I was so right. They totally ruined it.
Karolina Pucek you have no idea. The first episode isn’t even the worst one, I highly recommend watching emmmabooks reviews of the episodes as theyre funny to laugh at how wrong the show gets things
This was the exact frame of mind I went through in regards to the series. Still have all the books in nice mint condition though.
Why am I getting defensive when I’m literally only watching for representation through Alec and Magnus
Tbh, the movie was pretty accurate. And Clary had RED hair in the movie like she's supposed to
Yes but they didn't do justice to Alec! Like seriously?
"They had this slow motion shot of them throwing a sword at like, what- a foot and a half?!" DEAD LMAO
Amelia Nordet omg this kills me
Amelia Nordet well guess.. they had this scene because they are parabatai and have a special bond :) that’s it in the shortest form :)
lele... what? I think you don't understand what he's saying, or how and why specific shots are filmed to tell a story, if you think you just explained why they shot that scene lol
I’m torn cause this was hilarious but I love the show. You should do Jane the virgin or gossip girl next.
Me too it has it's moments of cheese but I like cheese so.... I's ok. ^_^
But Jane the Virgin is a comedy series, it has its cheesy moments but it's supposed to have. Also, Jane the Virgin is all about latin culture so... Unless he's latino I don't think that's a good idea cause he might not get it, and in order to love or hate it, you first have to understand where are they coming from.
Gossip girl yess
Alex: "This show's confusing."
Just wait until the: Jace and Clary are dating/no they're siblings/Jace is actually a demon/oops, he's not her brother/oh, but Clary is dating Simon, who's a vampire/Jace and Clary get back together/he dies/Clary illegally brings him back to life/Jace is actually kind of a demon now/oh, he doesn't love her anymore/cool, he's cured/nope, Clary is dead/actually, she's just in Paris idiots/reunion/and then a very drawn out process where Clary gets her memories taken away and the story repeats itself all over again.
Like, damn.
Read the books and still got invested in the show.. Also glad they revamped the story to change the progression
I read the books years before this show came out and I got really excited about this show. But then I watched it... and it was SO WRONG it’s all in the wrong order and they add in stupid plot lines that don’t even exist in the source material
Georgina H they have to do that or they’ll get copyright infringement. Cassandra Clare didn’t give them full rights to the books. They’re giving the side characters from the book more showtime which is honestly great. They’re making the story into what they think it should be. If you’re basing your review on this episode alone, yeah we all can agree it was shit, but the show and characters have developed since then.
Georgina H there were also a lot of problems with the books that really shouldn't be displayed on TV and the show has fixed some of those problems
