The Magicians Season 4 - The Quentin/Eliot/Monster plot

- Episode-by-episode, all of the pieces setting up the relationship between Quentin and Eliot, and Quentin and the Monster. No fancy out-of-context editing, no extra music or lingering shots, just the actual show as it aired. It was one of the most beautiful, complicated pieces of writing I've ever seen. Quentin loved the Monster's face while the person he loved was trapped. This was such a well-executed plot, as we watched Quentin spiral into depression as he couldn't save Eliot. It seemed to be setting up such an incredible reunion; we couldn't wait!
For the first 10 episodes of the season, this plot thread was so clear. And then... no payoff. Nothing.
It's been 3 months and I'm still upset. I don't understand why you would write this incredible story and just drop it. I made this video in part to see if I had mis-remembered. Was I projecting things into the story that weren't there?
No.
I'll never understand this.
Sometimes a lot of the pain comes from a lack of closure. I think they did that pretty beautifully.
Even with the actor leaving this show could have at least given us a few crumbs and had them actually reunite and share a scene together before they killed Q. I know the writers said something along the lines of it being real to life because you don't always get a goodbye but honestly does anyone want their fantasy TV shows to deal them the frustration and disappointment of real life? Personally I think it's just because they didn't want to have to actually address the relationship they had been building to. Which would also explain why no other character ever asked Q about his feelings for Eliot when he spent the whole season obsessively focused on the fact he couldn't lose him.
Well the show is a deconstruction of Fantasy.
Sure in Fantasy there would've been a heartfelt reunion but the Magicians isn't like that.
It's as depressing as Quentin was depressed.
As Q goes through the door to his destination - God of Fillory would fit perfectly, and yes i think the writers and producers are twisted enough to give us a year believing Q is gone...
@@sparkyroots369 You know, I think the same, I have hope, even now, I think maybe at the finally they can be together, I mean Alice, Quentin and Elliot, they deserve it T___T , Q it's my fav character I miss him so bad.
@@vicococeres Hi, actually Margot is my fav character, but the Alice, Q, Elliot dynamic is thrilling :-) The scene by the well was exactly what i needed to see but I wonder why Hale Appleman couldnt find some wet tears for that at the time..
I really miss Q too, I'm currently wondering how the many threads of S5 will come together and whether Q will feature in that, fingers crossed. He is or at least was, the main character focus and without him , the story seems quite random, leaving sentiment aside.
they were cowards.
Omg tysm for posting this
This is a really wonderful video.
Thank you so much.
Thank u for this video, i rly needed it after rewatching
24 mins - Q is locking the bottle with Penny 23, maybe that's why it's not a lovely reunion?
Where can i watch this series with sub...i search it at netflix but it didn't have it
It's still running on Amazon Prime!
I'm buying all 5 seasons
(but not all at once!) from Amazon -- I think 'The Magicians' is becoming a cult/collec-
able item, as the DVDs are quite expensive!
But purchasing is better for me than watching on Prime, which eats up all my data allowance!
But it's good to have a choice! 🙏🌹🙏🏽
