And he has such a good backstory that shows how he got to be a villain and that his intentions were good 🔥 And yes, I totally want Darklina even though he is toxic and manipulative 😅
comparing to the book, Ben Barnes brought so much complexity to the Darkling, OMG. In the books he is just a greedy bastard who is good at pretending at first but this.. THIS IS REAAL DEAL
Darkling is amazing character 😭 😭, he needs more exploring, to understand how amazing he is! This video tho showed how complex he is :(( poor boy just wanted to save Grisha from murderers:((
I've been thinking about this casting for young Aleksander for years! I'm so happy you decided to include it in your videos. it really fits in my opinion and the choice of music is chef's kiss
Y E S I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO USE THIS SONG WITH HIM AND I’M GLAD IT WAS YOU CAUSE YOUR EDITING >>>>> i loved how you matched the voiceovers with the scenes of his younger self and alSO the “fine. make me your villain” FITS SO WELL I WAS SCREAMING
OMG YESSS I’ll never get tired of your shadow and bone edits! Wow, this was so BEAUTIFUL! I love how you dedicated a whole video just to the Darkling! 😂 You just said POWERFUL in like eight languages. The voiceovers, transitions, IM IN LOVE! ❤️🥺
This is by far the most stunning video centered around the Darkling I have seen! Honestly, I am in awe. Can't wait to see what else you create, you have such an amazing talent (and very selfishly I kinda hope for a Darkling / Mary Stuart crossover).
My God I have chills down my spine. You chose the perfect song as a background for Darkling scenes. Never heard it before but I am going to play it on loop from today and envision Darkling. Your Video Mix is haunted, hopelessly chilling, full of agony and vengeance. Same as Darkling's life. The most complicated character I've had the fortune to see on television and ofcourse played by the magnetic Ben Barnes. So it's magnificence upon magnificence. I was having withdrawal symptoms after watching Shadow & Bone. I think I am ruined for another show right at the moment. Nothing seems to look watchable after seeing Darking & Ben Barnes. And man your Video just ruined me for another Video Mix. I was looking for a Video Mix with only Darkling scene like an addict hungry for a fix and you just made my wish come true. You fixed me darling. You captured the Darkling's agony so beautifully that I am bawling my eyes out. My heart is in tatters because I know the end well yet I am still hoping for some light in Darkling's life. Keep on rocking and making more video mixes. Muaaah!
truthfully, the reason I don't ship Aleksander with Alina because of how intense Aleksander loves so I *just know* that he still loves his previous lover.
this is gorgeous, stunning, and gives such an exemplary backstory as to how the world pushed him into the role of villain when all he wanted was to create a safe haven for his people. i love that you included the line where baghra states that none of them are as strong as "the summoners" - so it really does fall to them to protect their people - and louis is perfect as a fancast for young ben, not to mention this is the darkling's song - he owns it. it's a little disappointing that the writers chose to go the route of the books and shunt the darkling into a villain role instead of giving him the redemption he deserves - the fold was created out of grief and despair and desperation since he knew that even surrendering himself to their armies wouldn't guarantee his people's safety, so he had to transform the army into otherness and the fold was a consequence of that - ever since, he's just been doing what he feels he has to in order to keep his people protected; that even though he's whispered about with the terms darkling and black heretic, he shoulders that burden of being seen as someone to be feared when really he's been isolated and abandoned and hunted (not only because he's a grisha, and one of the most powerful grisha at that, but even as a child, they wanted to kill him to use his corpse for an amplifier) - darkling deserves to either get redeemed, or at least understood, if they go the book route OR I'll take him finally getting alina to see his side and the two rule together bc canon? what canon?
I think I am from the lucky ones that I have watched the Medici so I know which character you used and I have to say that is a brilliant idea 😉 I always have a tendency to dark characters so ofc Darkling is my top favorite. Incredible video ❤
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! You have shown his story so well, and i’ve never loved and also been scared of the Darkling more. AMAZING EDIT!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
I love everything about this edit. The emotion rises on its own so well you have identified Aleksander. His fate breaks my heart. Thank you for this montage, I hope there will be others J'aime tout dans ce montage. L'émotion monte toute seule tellement tu as bien cerné Aleksander. Son destin me brise le coeur. Merci pour ce montage, j'espère qu'il y en aura d'autresssss
this is absolutely brilliant. loved every second of it! by the way, could you please tell me which episode is 0:47 from? I swear I saw it the first time I watched the show but now that I'm editing it I can't seem to find it, and if it wasn't for this edit I would have probably believed it was a product of my imagination

My jaw just hit the floor 😲😲 this is breathtakingly beautiful and so well put together 😍😍

truthfully, the reason I don't ship Aleksander with Alina because of how intense Aleksander loves so I *just know* that he still loves his previous lover.
THIS IS SO PRETTY!!!!! wowwee i love it
I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video with this song. I immediately thought of this song when I saw him.
Wow! so perfect in every way!
this is gorgeous, stunning, and gives such an exemplary backstory as to how the world pushed him into the role of villain when all he wanted was to create a safe haven for his people. i love that you included the line where baghra states that none of them are as strong as "the summoners" - so it really does fall to them to protect their people - and louis is perfect as a fancast for young ben, not to mention this is the darkling's song - he owns it.
it's a little disappointing that the writers chose to go the route of the books and shunt the darkling into a villain role instead of giving him the redemption he deserves - the fold was created out of grief and despair and desperation since he knew that even surrendering himself to their armies wouldn't guarantee his people's safety, so he had to transform the army into otherness and the fold was a consequence of that - ever since, he's just been doing what he feels he has to in order to keep his people protected; that even though he's whispered about with the terms darkling and black heretic, he shoulders that burden of being seen as someone to be feared when really he's been isolated and abandoned and hunted (not only because he's a grisha, and one of the most powerful grisha at that, but even as a child, they wanted to kill him to use his corpse for an amplifier) - darkling deserves to either get redeemed, or at least understood, if they go the book route OR I'll take him finally getting alina to see his side and the two rule together bc canon? what canon?
