#DowntonAbbey - Розваги
Mary and Matthew made each other better. The show was never quite the same after Dan Stevens left.
Dan Stevens leaving made the show better. Mary became a thoroughly modern woman. Mt Molesly became a well paid screenwriter. They would have stayed stuck in their expectations. If he hadn't left
@@MandieTerrier yeah agree to disagree.
I agree with both of you.
I did love the character of Matthew, but the actor was bored with the role
@@MandieTerrier in my opinion, other events could've brought about those character changes as well if the writer wished to pursue it, my imagination: the earl's illness happening earlier and making Mary more aware of matters, and learning about it alongside Matthew. Or a near life-ending event for Molesly, making him think deeper about what he's doing with his life... since Matthew being alive was what was meant to happen, I do wonder about the original plan for everyone...
He saved Downton. He married & rescued Mary from herself, he rescued Sybil & Rose several times, he supported the girls in new “radical” endeavors (Edith writing letters to the paper), he gave a fortune to Robert who had completely destroyed Cora’s fortune, and finally giving Mary and Downton an heir.
I loved this story from start to finish ;
After he has done his duty, Dan Steven left the show.
Bummer!
"he was perfect...handsome, like a Prince in a fairytale"
Indeed, he was the prince/beast in the live-action movie Beauty in the Beast!
The chemistry between those two was incredible!
So true. Can't help saying that if it were Mary who was at the scene when Matthew, in surprise, stood up it would have followed that they would have ended up embracing and rejoicing!
Yes!!!
He was my favourite character from the whole show!!!
I‘ll never forgive him that he died…😢
"The whole show", like season 1 to 3 I suppose 🥺
Indeed, the two most interesting characters this side of Maggie Smith's dowager, Matthew and Sybbil were killed off, instead of continuing with the character by changing the actors. It has been done before and did not hurt shows one bit.
@@allegory6393 Although it hurt, I think it was good in the end that they died because it led to so many new plot possibilities.
@@angelfriend5211 Well, I thought all those other 'plot possibilities' were well below the level the possibilities with Matthew and Sybil in the plot would have been The writing dived once they were gone, because they were the most interesting characters, with the exception of the dowager, and made those connected to them more interesting than they were on their own or with others.
He and Mary were so perfect together. I don’t think the show was or ever will be the same without his presence. He was such a lovely man and Mary loved him so much
He blew it chasing after a big screen career. How many actors dream of a plum role in a universally popular series?
Dan Stevens was so good as Matthew and his relationship with Mary was magical. The show was quite different after he left.
It mostly sucked after
DAN STEVENS IS LITERALLY ICONIC
I love the dowager's response when Matthew apologized for breaking the vase.😂 Cracks me up every time 😂
Those fabulous one-liners, the 'I have hated it for half a century!' That's a lot of dislike.
I love Matthew so much. He was a true gentleman.
Dan Stevens with blonde hair and his warm gentle voice was quite attractive to women of all ages. His voice in Beauty and the Beast captures the hearts of the Beauties! I get warm and fuzzy just remembering his acting and voice. Would love to see and hear him perform soon.
And, his long-avowed dedication to his family sets him apart from what is commonplace in the entertainment industry!
He also played Charles Dickens in “ The Man who invented Christmas “ about the story of a Christmas carol
Dan Stevens also played in Jane Austen/ Sense and Sensibility 😊
I was actually disappointed when the Beast tuned into Prince again. Dan Stevens was rather flat and boring compaired to the Beast.
Mary and Matthew’s great love made the show. 💕
Least she has a part of him still living in their son George , would love a WWII spin off with the grown up Crawley Grandchildren .
@sarahudson108 me too! I would definitely watch and think most DA fans would also.
Can I please find a man like Matthew Crawley, oh dear Lord.

The very best line in Downton Abbey -- in my opinion is -- The Dowager Countess asking, "... weekend? What is a weekend?" Priceless! Dan Stevens was fabulous as Matthew Crawley but the "weekend" line so clearly depicts the upper class at the time.
Of course, Matthew would be the one asking about weekends in 2023. He’s probably the guy who’s on his phone nearly 24/7. No weekends for him!
We don't have weekends either in the Hotel industry 😅
@@velapalim6281 No, not in the Hotel Industry, not in the Medical Industry and sure as daylight not in the Law Enforcement Industry.
Oh I had to laugh when I heard Maggie Smith's character ask that. It did not - of course - ever occur to me until that moment the class divide. Their Niveau did not have to concern themselves with those issues. That was all taken care of by service downstairs. And those in service back then got up early and went to bed late. I can't even fathom how they did not eat their supper downstairs until after the upstairs was served and passified. So we are talking anywhere from 8:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Try to sleep with a full stomach. And Patmore THEN had to clean up the kitchen thereafter. No wonder most of them were single or left the industry when they got married (especially the women). But...the great divide of money / class.
@@junewilson1629retail.
Honestly never ever saw a that huge chemistry on TV show like Michelle and Dan - so natural. For some reason Downtown Abbey will alway be success based on these two characters. They should be play again togerther - Masterclass and Oscars guarenteed 🙃
Another great couple in my opinion are Snow White and Prince Charming from the show Once Upon a Time. They're married in real life❤
If Mathew had a voice coach they did a great job, how his voice dips every so often is brilliant
I miss him so much. He was my favorite character from the show along with Mr. Bates. Downton was no longer the same without Matthew
How sad that the two oldest grandchildren of the Crawley family both lost a parent on the day they were born. Sibby and George both were semi-orphans on the first 24 hours of their lives.
Not to mention that Edith's daughter Marigold never got to meet her father either.
@@TheLadySilverMoon I had forgotten about Merigold. You are right she lost her father before she was born. So much tragedy for all three children to over come.
Yes, awful. Matthew’s death was so violent and shocking.
Forever one of my favorite characters!! The show just wasn’t the same without Matthew.
Or Sybil.
No good at all without sbil or Matthew I wish these people would not start these series and then jump ship. think they are bigger than anyone it was Downton that made them popular
@@user-vo3io6bo3c They all originally had a three season contract. Other opportunities came up during that time and there was no guarantee of extending their contracts when the other opportunities arose. I don't know about Jessica, but Dan Stevens had many roles before and after Downton.
No, and he made a big mistake leaving a show that could pay big dividends yet where is he now? doing sub par movies. Actors? who can figure them out.
He is radiant and his piercing blue eyes are so beautiful! Not to mention everyone's acting chops! I have never been so invested in characters and the writing is just wonderfully done! ❤
Yes … his EYES!!! Breathtaking! I hate being in love with a fictional character! 😁
"What is a weekend" is my favorite line. The relationship between Matthew and Mary is so complicated that it brings excitement to the show.
Such a good actor Dan Stevens is.
The first three minutes strike such a cord being Mary and Matthew's first and last scenes together 😢
While I have love for a lot of the other characters of DA, it was the Mary and Matthew love ❤ story that had me grip from their first frosty meeting! It keep me enthralled for the first three series/seasons and once he was gone I just didn't have the heart 💔 to continue watching it without Matthew (and the same would have been if Mary had died instead).
I did eventually watch the rest of the series some time later but it just didnt have the same magic for me so I won't likely revisit it again like I continually do with series/seasons 1-3.
As for the man himself, Mr Dan Stevens, again I respect his right to do what he wants with his own career but there will always be a part of me that won't forgive him for leaving the series with them having to kill of his character as I wanted to see their love story continue to the end of the series and in the eventual films.
But I'd like to think that Mr Stevens feels somewhat of a compliment from the many who are upset or annoyed for him leaving the show because it is a huge testament to his talents as a actor and what he brought to the role of Matthew Crawley.
I'd forgotten these amazing scenes esp Matthew's proposal in the swirling snow. Memorable.
What an angel Matthew was. The show was worse off without him. Can anyone else envision George growing up to be just like his dad? If they ever make a “next generation of Downton Abbey” season or film with the children grown up, I can really see Robbie Kay as George and Daisy Ridley as Sybbie.
Grandpapa in the Boer , dad in France and George will be in ww2 . I wonder if his stepdad's love of speed leads to an RAF career . Sybbie being a nurse or something else would be awesome
The theme song never fails to make me cry. I've no idea why!
I watched the last Downton film before watching the actual series so I knew Matthew would die, nevertheless it was still just as saddening. There was such a palpable sense of loss after he died, not just from Lady Mary. The entire family and household mourned him. When she went to his grave to tell him she was marrying Henry but would always love him I burst into tears, I couldn’t stop sobbing.
Mary and Matthew was the best couple I've ever seen. Matthew was the best husband for her. I loved his character so much and it was so sad that he must die in the show. He was still missed the whole time of the show.
They had a chemistry on screen which was done really well. And their characters really truly complemented each other.
Finally!!! I always wondered why this channel doesnt have so much of Matthew content. He is one of the fan favourites afterall
I get it that he wanted to do other work and the original contract was for 3 yrs but I really hated him leaving the show.
One of the most satisfying punches in all television!!
And, Matthew's eyes in his exchange of words with Carlisle showed his pent up dislike towards the cad. What superb acting!
😭😭😭 The first two scenes in the video, their first scene together and their last scene together
What I loved about a Downton abbey;
Though it was fictional and the time line was based upon the upper classes.
More than a century ago. People and human nature are timeless the same
I love Dan stevens so so much😭😭😭
I luv everyone, but hav to admit. Matthew was my fav.
Wonderful actors!
Such a wonderful show❤
"I'm a good sailor" lol 😂
Really wished he'd stayed, although his exit was quite congruent with the series. Loved that final scene in this compilation...."sorry about the vase" (and then Maggie saying "don't worry about it, it was a gift from a freightful aunt") hahaha
I loved watching all of the Downton Abbey series...now I wish I could see the new season of Downton Abbey
Mathew and Marry two beautiful people and beautiful couple n D.A
The chemistry and sexual tension btw them is magical
You will be my Mary always....I am crying knowing what happened right after that😢
He’s cute and handsome at the same time
"A FRIGHTFUL Aunt..." I'll be using that line a lot now! Lol!!!
I can watch the Dowager in that swivel chair 8,000 x and never stop laughing 😂
5:07 Matthew being smooth as butter
Violet and Mathew are so comical together it’s hilarious also that when Mary and Matthew have an argument especially when she turned him down the first time little do they know that they will get married eventually ❤️
I nearly stopped watching the show when he left. It was never the same after.
I cried so hard when he died he was one of my favorites. All my favorites died including Sybil 😭
I crealy remembered this moment I was crying like rain
I was hugging myself and my nails digging into my upper arms and crying out ohhh Nooo ohh nooo at the telly...so sad .Then my heart went out to Isobel as much as Mary because I identified with her as I lost a son 💔 loosing a child is so terrible. It was the same when Sybil died and Cora was telling her she was her baby would slways be her baby ut was so gutwrenching of course I was sorry for both Tom and Mary loosing their spouses and sad the had gone but I identified more with the parents loosing a child. 😊
😢
That smiley face there by mistake at end of my 1st comment
I hope there will be a third Downton Abbey film ❤
I think there will be a season seven. At least that's what I read somewhere.
@@mysticallymichaela *** gasp!!! I hope so!! ❤️
@@mysticallymichaela I HOPE!
@@mysticallymichaela that was just click bait. None of the cast or crew are on board with a season seven. All of the actors and Julian Fellows have moved on.
Unfortunately the second movie had a poor showing at the box office. The first movie the theater was packed. The second movie. Me and my mom were two out of five in the whole theater
I always enjoy the best moments between each other.
12:25 one of the best Dowager moments. シ
Looks like in the end, both Matthew and Lady Mary truly enjoyed his "pushing in".
He pulled out the best in Lady Mary. Without him anchoring, Lady Mary lost the control of herself sometimes in the next seasons.
He was to darling for words!!!!
i miss him forever.
I love Matthew so beautiful handsome and loyal and everything
The true love of my life!
Ahahahha the last sene dame Maggy I love you with all my heart ❤
After seeing him with Sybil when he took her home injured, I wished they had been together :
What a ridiculously handsome man. He’s so attractive it’s almost shocking.
Marry and Matthew was the perfect pare.
Sometimes I just watch Season 2 Episode 9 and Season 3.
Sorry about the vase ahahahahah
What a handsome Mr. LaDeeDa!
I can't believe they couldn't find a way to keep him
After Matthew died, Nary should have been with Charles Blake. He was the only man she was around that made her a better person. They were also great friends. Henry Talbot was just Mehmet. Tony Gillingham was earnest but too staid and respectable. Charles Blake was spicy, fun and serious too.
I Hope see you Dan in a film of substance worthy of his. Talent
I will never forgive Dan Stevens for leaving the show. 😁
“Don’t play with me…”
Ugh part of me wishes they dealt with Dan Stevens leaving the show by being very transparently like "Matthew and Mary's baby as asthma or whatever so they’re going to move to Italy or the seaside or the South of France for a few years, off they go" so we could just imagine them happy and offscreen and all alive in the narrative. Of course Michelle Dockery was still great in the show I’m glad we got to keep seeing her, but ughhhhhghhhhhhh
I cannot believe how much weight Dan stevens has lost since Downton abbey 😂😂😂. I though he was good looking back then, but he is even better now❤
He is the next James Bond.
I agree
Mary: Didn't gave answer based on new possible heir
Matt: F this, I'm leaving.
Mary: Surprised Pikachu Face
Thinking on it, Matthew didn’t really have the right to withdraw his proposal after Cora miscarried. Mary hadn’t done anything (newly) dishonorable or scandalous. If she had pressed the issue I think Matthew would have been duty bound to marry her. Of course Mary was very proud so catching a man that way was probably too low for her
But Mary hadn't said yes. They didn't have a formal agreement
@@MandieTerrier I don't know about the 1910s, but in the 1800s it would not have mattered if she hasn't said yes yet. He's proposed and cannot withdraw that proposal for almost any reason. I think you could even sue for "breach of promise"
I stopped watching when they killed him off. The practice of killing off a magnificent, well-developed, and important character simply for dramatic effect is one of the worst tropes in writing.
I don’t think this is really the writers’ fault, the actor wanted to leave the series
Yeah, I don’t think they really had a choice. Having him just get on a train and leave wouldn’t have been in line with his character or make any sense; killing him off was the only way given that he was leaving the show :/
@@ilikemandalorians9861 Yeah, but they knew how integral he was to the show and how much Mary and Matthew's relationship meant to the audience. It would've been better to end the whole show without killing him off. Dan may have even been open to the films as he could still pursue his other projects then.
He is quite good in this series, but to be honest I really loved him in Legion - a really crazy and versatile 😅
❤
He's just so gorgeous 😍 I'm not usually into blonde guys but this guy is just far too beautiful
"I'm a good sailor."
He should have lived on longer.
The actor wanted out.
@@umitencho I know, but still.
Blame the actor 😅
Agreed
@@blurdreamer Well you can't blame him. They were all originally signed up for three seasons with no guarantees at that stage. If other work came up and the series hadn't continued, they would have been left with nothing.
Es ten bello con esos ojos tan transparentes
They could have kept him a while with Mary and Baby
He may have wanted to leave.Perhaps wanted a different role. I was sad when Matth and Sybil died.I cried and cried.
I think Mathew and Sybil would have been great together.
And then he went on to play the Beast 😅
LOVED him in B&B.
I never watched another episode after his death, I was too devastated 🥲
🙂 👍🏻
Left out war scenes, rallying his troops facing their deaths.
I wonder why Matthew and Lady Sybil died earlier in the series😢 is this in the script or Dan & Jessica wanted to withdraw from the series?
They wanted to leave the series to pursue other projects. The original agreement was for 3 seasons but the series' success skyrocketed when it got shown in the U.S. and hence the need for 10 seasons in the end.
@@despina284The show ran for 6 seasons in total.
I was watching from Australia.
الا توجد ترجمه لهذا المسلسل بالعربي؟
Why don't you volunteer for your language.
My Mary always, because mine is the *true* Mary.
Vi prego in italiano grazie ❤
Why don't you do it for Italian. They can't translate every language so volunteer. I wouldn't ask an Italian production to be translated.
Why did I do this in sequence?!?! This is Soooooo jumbled 😮
Director: For this scene, you must see Lady Mary and react like a steer being pollaxed.
I don't understad how someone like matthew loved marry ! OK he is so powerful like her but he is a very kind man full of respect and feelings
despite he wasn't fear to livinai
I have often wondered if he or the actress who played Lady Sybil regretted leaving the show, especially so early. Was it a bigger career or more freedom that they wanted? Neither got a bigger career out of leaving, that is for sure. 6/2/24
So sad they killed him off
@@jeancarroll7957 He also had other roles lined up.
