I love how they panned up instead of showing Kaz's hands when he takes his gloves off at the beginning! The books built up so much anticipation with the gloves and the name Dirtyhands and the rumour in the Barrel that his hands are constantly covered in blood. And then when he takes them off they're just the normal hands of a boy physically separate from the word (a metaphor perhaps) because of his PTSD! So well done and so subtle its so good
Mr. Darkling is an old creep, but that man is so fine. I have to stan. I'm a simp for Ben Barnes. It is what it is. Inej and Kaz make my Kanej heart flutter. Jesper, what can I say? An unmatched icon.
This show made my Malina heart happy. I also hate that Ben Barnes is so attractive because I hate the Darkling and I still wanna smack him when I see him in the show but I also wanna admire him at the same time 😭
@@dakshitaxo I read the books multiple times. Simply because my opinion differs from yours does not mean I lack comprehension. That was quite a rude thing to insinuate. If we all thought the same, most inventions, theories, and works of art wouldn't exist. When I read the book, I interpreted the premise of their relationship as toxic even though they were in love. Your opinion is yours. That's great, but I personally find their dynamic toxic. Matthias is a dangerous bigot with the potential to kill Nina, even though he might have changed in the second book. Nina is a minority of a group discriminate d against by most. The Grisha are not a group in large numbers. That makes her a minority in the landscape of the books.
I gotta say I liked Mal in the show more than in the books, but Darklina will forever be my favorite couple and the fact that Ben Barnes plays him I love him even more. 😫🤚🏼
Inej is clearly the best. Knife Wife for Life. Kirigan is clearly grooming Alina with his sad boy routine, but he's very effective at it. It's very well done.
My interpretation of Alina crying in her room: her friends died in the fold, she witnessed people around her slaughtered. She almost died and she may never see Mal (her only family) after experiencing a harrowing near-death experience. She didn't even get the chance to say bye to him! Girl... Cry do what you have to do. What she went through was traumatizing and sometimes you need to let your emotions out!
Oh my gosh yes! Almost everybody I've ever seen reacting to this certain scene don't seem to get it. They seem to concentrate on the luxury and elegance of the room instead of Alina's truly understandable breakdown. She went through so much so quickly and her life situation changed so drastically into an uncertain future with the biggest blow, losing Mal. I dont care how pretty or comfortable the place they put me at is I'd be in utter turmoil.
Allow me to add to the malina hype: *spoilers btw if you’ve never read the books* the whole moment when he says “I’ll meet you in the Meadow” and they’re holding onto each other while Alina is being taken by the volcra- Mal being the trigger for her power as an actual Amplifier just furthering their connection together I mean it was so sexy of the show to hint at that straight from the beginning
Your commentary was priceless! I hope you do this for all episodes! I enjoyed your reactions so much... HAHAHAHA. The Darklina chemistry like i actually can't. He's so fucking powerful and sexy! The show is gorgeous!!!!
I loved this so so so so much 🤩😍 this might be one of the few times I might prefer an adaptation over the source material. The book Vs the series, the series brought Me to my knees. Ben Barnes and Jessie's chemistry 😍😍.
I never read the books, but I immediately hated Darklina and shipped Malina. Inej is absolutely beautiful and perfect to me (I love the rogue archetype). Jespar has me rolling.
Good. Darklina was never supposed to be an actual ship, the Darkling has like no redeeming qualities at all, and directly abuses Alina, and only wants to possess her. That people think it's some great romance is terrifying.
I just- I love it. It's so pretty, it's so just fantastic. I'm a little put off by some changes and some they didn't make but IM SMITTEN! Kit has become Jesper as far as I'm concerned and I adore the scene where Kaz and Inej are drinking his shots😂 (I adore him as a whole lol) I love how Mal and Alina have come into their own, I'm *still* in love with Ben Barns lol, and Zoya is a queen (But like sis, relax your boo is coming). I'm a bit confused as to why they're showing so much of their hand with Kaz's backstory and I'm not fond of how they changed a few others stories. But other than that so far it's been fantastic! I watched the first two again with my parents AND THE DETAILS these people have put into the show. Let us take a moment to that the set designers because they whole thing is * chefs kiss *
I wondered how your reaction will be, haha. Still just here for Alina and Darkling, I guess I'm just very problematic lol. Show definitely won't make me a Malina stan after the 400 annoying flashbacks of the same meadow scene lmao (please don't bring it in back in s2). But they seriously just transplanted a new character on him which, I guess, good for him lol. I loved the heartrender husbands. I was disappointed that they made Zoya randomly racist. She would never, even at her pettiest, be racist towards Alina, I will die on this hill.
@@FullofLit like I didn't hate Mal/Malina in the show (although I'm holding out hope that Alina won't lose all her powers like in Book 3 -- haven't finished RoW yet, so I dunno if I should hold out hope that she might still have a little power left if she is in the book xD). Seeing the whiplash the new Darklina fans experienced while watching was a bit funny/sad at the same time. Hoping for Nikolai in in the next season to get even more whiplash. Heartrender husbands
Frl the Darkling is amazing in every aspect and I love to pieces every single Grisha, especially my BABIES Feydor and Ivan 🥺🥺🥺 Mal can go frick himself in that meadow for all I care about (I was so DONE with it help me), Darklina supremacy 😂
*spoiler-ish?* I strongly believe that the show is better than the trilogy exceptttt for david :333 that's NOT DAVID. ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT JESPERRR??? I LIKE HIM JUST AS MUCH AS I LIKE HIM IN THE BOOKS??? What a king
I think many fans will be Team Kirigan, not Team Darklina :) she said in ep6: "They could've had everything if he'd only made her his equal." Interesting... I feel as if she chose him, but he wouldn't let go of his ambitions...for her? Regardless, I hope he has an arc similar to Ben Solo
If anything the constant beating-to-death of malina scenes in this season just made me even more reluctant to like them. absolutely no disrespect to those who do, they have just never appealed to me, and not even the show version can make me like them nearly as much as I like darklina
(spoilers ) when I saw watching kid Alinla harming her self just to stay with mal I was having hard time breathing thisi is not romantic it's unhealthy and something that destroys peoples lives and are we going to just Pretend that Alina is not responsible for the death of her teem because of her obsession with mal there blood is on her hands and she only knowledge that when she is taking to the darkling and she is only Scared of being banished she doesn't feel eny guilt and she can't access her powers because of mal and only can when she let him go is this what healthy relationship is supposed to be they are selling this is a epic love story that we are supposed to ship NO . Sorry if some words makes no sense I'm little bit sick
I agree. They glossed over the fact that her team died because of her obsession with Mal. Like does she actually love Mal or was she just scared of being alone? Does Mal really love her or is he just territorial now that someone else has shown interest?
@@ellax325 good point I really don't like the friend who only notice the girl after someone else is interested in her 😠 and do you know that saying :if you love two people choose the Second one because if you loved the first one you wouldn't have fallen for the second
@@ellax325 Her whole shmuck with Mal is a fear of being alone tbh, like they have nothing in common outside of growing together, it’s so bizarre and I don’t get it 🤡
@@nightmare1641 Ikr ?! Like if Ben adorable face, loving smile and overall choking attractiveness made you forget Mal so much you were about to bang him, idk sis, sounds sus to me 👀👀👀
@@ellax325 I was terrified about how quick she glossed over that. She knew these people for a long time. They died, and she doesn't think about that. Her focus is Mal. It's an obsession.

@@FullofLit The power resonating off them
This show made my Malina heart happy.
I also hate that Ben Barnes is so attractive because I hate the Darkling and I still wanna smack him when I see him in the show but I also wanna admire him at the same time 😭
i've never read any of the books and i immediately ordered six of crows after finishing it i love those characters so much alreadyy
you will love it
i can’t WAIT for you to see helnik😭😭 they had me sobbing and owned the show for me eurgh

@@nadinerubio2715 YESSIR
"Darkles, come ON" encapsulates my sentiment all throughout the show lolol

Malina's chemistry gave me life!
I loved this so so so so much 🤩😍 this might be one of the few times I might prefer an adaptation over the source material. The book Vs the series, the series brought Me to my knees. Ben Barnes and Jessie's chemistry 😍😍.
This was hilarious but also you look STUNNING IN THIS VIDEO ?? You’re literally distracting me from the show !?!
Jesper is the star of the show and you cannot change my mind
Excuse me, but you're wrong. The star of the show is Milo the Goat.
I never read the books, but I immediately hated Darklina and shipped Malina. Inej is absolutely beautiful and perfect to me (I love the rogue archetype). Jespar has me rolling.
Thank you. As a book reader who shipped Malina and hated Darklina, I’m glad I am meeting people with taste
Good. Darklina was never supposed to be an actual ship, the Darkling has like no redeeming qualities at all, and directly abuses Alina, and only wants to possess her. That people think it's some great romance is terrifying.
Am I the only one here who thought Alina and Aleksander/The darkeling had more chemistry? I loved seeing them together
PS : I haven't read the books.
I think once we get a Mal and Alina kiss it will be better.
@@katelynnicole3695 yeah probably but I'm still sad bcs Darklina can't happen. I wish they give him a redemption arc tho.
@@najwaljazouli5726 Yeah even if they redeemed him though I am not sure that Alina could forgive him.
I just-
I love it.

I subscribed to your channel because of our shared love of Jane Austen and now I see you reacting to Shadow and Bone?!
Subscribed for life!!
WOOOO the whole family’s a fan!
Watching you react to this show is my new favorite show 😂
Just discovered these vids, and it's a fantastic way to recap for the new season. 😀
Your energy is contagious! Love this!
your reaction is everything i've been needing from another fan!! xD
I'm on like my 8th rewatch right now lol.
Omg this is me I was so torn between Malian and Darklina throughout this show 😭😍
listen, i really dislike alina and mal in the books......but now i kind of ship them.........crazy how life works......the crows were >>>>>>>>>

I strongly believe that the show is better than the trilogy exceptttt for david :333 that's NOT DAVID.
ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT JESPERRR??? I LIKE HIM JUST AS MUCH AS I LIKE HIM IN THE BOOKS???
What a king
never clicked on a video so fast 😂
We need this whole episodes reaction please! 🤍
Why did my initial reactions mirror yours? Like, oof, I feel very seen but also exposed. I kind of love it.
I was Darklina but now I dont even know
I live only for Zoya and Nikolai crumbs that's all task for in season 2
