See, In my opinion, the mortal instruments is a great book when you are in middle school. Then you grow up and see how ridiculous it all is, but you still have a soft spot for it.
The fun thing is that fans of the book series have unanimously agreed that neither the casting of the movie or show were perfect, but that the movie had the best Jace and Clary and the show had the best supporting characters.

Is anyone else disappointed Dylan didn't learn that Simon turns into a vampire ? We were robbed of so many good jokes and i'm a 100% he would have referenced Twilight even more for it 🤣🤣😭
RIGHT?? I think it's hilarious he keeps saying Simon's not even cool enough to have a motorcycle (21:19) considering the vamps are known to drive special bikes that fly. (Tho I don't think he himself has one)
i was very confused at that because i remember very clearly that it was lowkey showed in the movie that something happened with him??? like clary sees his bite or something???? (let’s not forget that later simon gets turned back to human only to be turned a shadowhunter too, what a roller coaster ride)
@@marialuizamendonca8087If I remember correctly (and it has been some time since I've read the books), Simon is kidnapped by the vampires in book 1, but turns into a vampire in book 2 or 3. If someone is fed with vampire blood, it enchances their sences and strength. For someone to turn into a vampire they have to die with a vampire blood in their system. If they don't, the vampire blood will just leave their system and they'll be "normal" again (for a lack of better word). So in the movie they showed Simon with the effects of vampire blood, but he never transformed because he didn't die there and it would happen in future films (that they never made).
“You're my sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you. To protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what I want to do” will forever be one of the craziest quotes from this series. i love it.
When he told her they could run away together and just never have kids I had to walk away and that he wanted her more than he cared about being her brother 😂😂 book 3 wasn’t out yet and I knew I couldn’t leave myself another cliffhanger so I waited until it came out to finish book 2
The movie had a stacked cast. Like the moms in GOT, the werewolf played Kili in the Hobbit, and then Jamie Campbell Bowers and Robert Sheehan have both been in a ton of popular stuff
Jamie Campbell Bower’s most iconic performance was in the Thomas & Friends movie Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure, where he starred alongside Eddie Redmayne, Olivia Colman and Sir John Hurt as Skiff, a sailboat on rail wheels (a railboat).
When he mentioned the ... sibling love in the books i was SURE he was gonna mention Jace's ICONIC line "You're my sister," he said finally. "My sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you"-he laughed soundlessly without any humor-"to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what I want to do" At this point, THEY BOTH THINK THEY ARE BROTHER ANS SISTER. AND THEY KISSS changed my middle school brain fr
I read City of Ashes first and half-way through the book I was like "hold up, so you're telling me that the two characters with the most explicit sexual tension are, in fact, siblings?"
Shadows Hunters was yesteryear's Riverdale. It was the perfect blend of soap opera cheesiness and just coherent enough supernatural plotlines to bring it home.

I agree, I think show does some things really well, you just gotta endure the bad ones. I haven't watched the movie because I saw the show first and I cannot see these characters played by anyone else, hahaha.
Honestly I think they just made it a torture scene for suspense, because in the book Luke is only talking to the circle members while Clary, Jace and Simon hide in his office. The “heartless” moment we see of Luke writing off Clary in the books is also done in a phone call where Clary can’t see what’s going on with Luke, so I think it makes more sense for her to be upset

I think the funniest thing here is learning just how in depth the scripting Dylan does for his videos. They’re so chaotic and random I would never have thought they weren’t improvised entirely with only like some flash card level of notes at the most.
@@jjordanrenae oh boy... I am so sad that in my country stop translating the saga. I stopped at book 3 and waited for the last one to come so I can read them in English. I hate to wait for books and I can't do it for this one especially because of the ending of the second one
Dylan having to mention how he opened up the book to the exact chapter he wanted and going on a minute long tangent about how awesome and magical he is because of it is so relatable 😂
19:30 No cause opening up a book, knowing which page you need to be on, and then somehow you end up on that page exactly and then questioning if you're magical is such a moment. I feel like we've all had that at least once.😂
as someone who had tmi and other cassie clare books (basically the infernal devices) take over her entire teenage, I LOVED THIS SM. i hope dylan reads the rest of the books and makes it past the "you're my sister, i should want to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what i want to do" debacle 💀💀 bc all in all, having read the books almost a decade ago now, i still think they were very well written and world building was great. not to mention jace in the books is someone NO ACTOR has ever come close to emulating, book jace was just on another level.
Same. I loved the magnus bane chronicles as well because he's my favourite character. I got Cassandra Clare's newest book, sword catcher (not in the shadowhunter world), but saw the beautiful hardback in a book shop and had to buy it. Haven't read it yet because it's a chunky book and currently reading the hobbit but excited to.
Literally! The world building is easily the best thing in the books. The Last Hours, The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices are all even better than The Mortal Instruments and somehow Will is just as amazing of a character as Jace. I never understood the hype of ACTOR, I couldn’t even finish it. Cassandra Clare at least writes good female mcs.
I feel like he could genuinely like The Infernal Devices, I always thought they were solid books and the best series set in this universe. Plus they are relatively easier to read as it's only a trilogy and not 6 books, and they are not that big either
What part of Jace's character do you think no actor has ever come close to emulating? I don't have a strong opinion on this, so I'm really curious to know other people's reasons.
I think one of the reasons simon's kidnapping and the werewolves feel so "out of place" in the Movie is because they are isolated events that are meant to set up plots that happen book 2-onwards. And since they never got a sequel, it does feel like something is missing.
@pottop880 For Simon, it's setting up him turning into a vampire. On book 2 he starts to feel side effects of him being kidnapped by the vampires. In searching for a cure for this side effects, he's attacked and turned. For the werewolves: it sets up the downworlders which become more prominent in the second book. Valentine is doing a ritual that involves him killing one of each downworlder so the werewolves are involved in investigating when one of their own is nearly killed.
15:09 "Why is everybody so amenable to change?" is such an amazing way to put it. This is what I expect from a guy who totally went to a legitimate college
I (re)watched this video a few nights ago because I think it is one of your best and just now, as I was doing some homework, I opened my Greek-English lexicon (which is over 800 pgs long) to the exact page I needed without even knowing how far into the book I needed to go for the letter I was looking for. I immediately thought of you and your magical experience with Chapter 17. This feels like such a significant event that I want to inform all of my family and friends, but you're probably the only person who would understand why I'm so floored by this!!
@@CrAZychicke Yep, he REALLY embodies his characters. Amazing actor. The problem with actors that good is that you have trouble recognizing them at first because of how insanely talented they are, even though they look distinctive. They just FEEL like a different person until you listen to your eyes more than your instincts. Wild stuff.
The cast for this movie was literally STACKED, I feel robbed we never got more movies. Robbie Sheehan as Simon will always be my favorite, oh and Aidan Turner as Luke.
literally!!!! The amount of hate that that movie got was WAY beyond what it deserved. It was for the most part a really well done adaptation! I think the issue was probably just that people were over book to movie adaptations at that time, since we had so many. Sooooo disappointing
The thing is the entire Shadowhunter series, which consists of like 20 books, are all SO FUNNY. Dylan you would really like the humor in these books, especially The Infernal Devices series.
In high school the clockwork prequels were my JAM and I recently reread them (I’m 28 now) and they really hold up. I then tried to read city of bones for the first time to see if the prequel characters made an appearance and it was so bad I really had to force myself to finish it. I felt EXACTLY how you did when reading.
Those were my favorite and also the first books I ever read of CCs and I have a soft spot for them too! Helps too I think the main characters were in their early 20s unlike the mortal instruments. I’m pretty sure I also bought the manga of the prequels when I was in middle school I was so in love with the world and characters. I think I just love historical fantasy fiction 😂
“Everyone that Clary should trust, she is wary of and everyone she trusts inexplicably, betrays her.” That’s it. You explained the entire series with that one. That was my main beef with her.
First time watcher. Idk how or why this video popped up for me but I’m so glad it did. Loved this book series, and I was hysterically laughing at multiple points throughout the video. Thank you sir. *subscribed*
I devoured all of these books within the week of me graduating from high school, all I remember are vibes and that it helped my sanity after studying. I don't care if they're bad :D I'll love them forever. And I love the movie, too. Lily and Jamie will be forever my Jace and Clary.
@@marialuizamendonca8087 I like to tell myself that some people watch reality tv (which is not very high quality), so there is no problem in me reading something equal to that. We all need to turn our brains off from time to time. I read the Infernal Devices and stopped paying attention. It just felt like too much at the time. But, maybe when I re-read TMI I'll be tempted to read the rest. Are you enjoying the books? Should I give them a chance?
@@spiritmadeofstars honestly i think the best ones will be for ever TID like that was cassandra’s peak in writing. i do understand the problems with TMI, but i got too attached to the characters, like: is it bad? it is, but i love these characters too much to care. also, i think the last book from TMI it’s absolutely amazing, like book 4 and 5 sucks, i honestly don’t remember much about the first and second, but i loved 3th a LOT too. i loved TDA (the one that follows after TMI) almost as much as TID, she shows how much the government it’s broken and the main characters specifically the main family are absolutely my favorites from the whole universe. i hated the trilogy that told the story of TID characters children, i didn’t even finished the last one yet, revisiting TID it’s something that she should’ve not done. as for the other solos books, i think they all work a lot on adding to the story, and are very fun. i was very excited for the magnus and alec trilogy, but i have to be honest and say that i couldn’t even finish the first one (but i particularly think that happened because malec is my favorite ship, and she promised those books like a decade ago and i expected too much as a teenager, so maybe they don’t work for adult me). but honestly? it’s a very fun universe, and if don’t take it so seriously as writing it has a very good and creative world building. these days there much worse books out there. sometimes we just need to take a fun little dumb fantasy book and read it for fun. i was very active at the fandom when i was a teenager, i’ve even met cassandra on a event, it’s a very special series for me even tho i know it’s very bad too.
Godfrey Gao (RIP) really looked the part of Magnus Bane. But Harry Shum Jr. Just brought that character to life. Anyone watching the series knows that Alec and Magnus stole the show.
So true and I just recently finished reading The Last Hours I recommend this series too it takes place years later after the events of Infernal Devices
@@Grace_378couldn agree more I thought it was because, despite loving tid because of the love triangle because is insuperable, still my fav one was tda. Probably because of so many family members and rhe impossible and prohibited love story of julian and emma. Glad to see I am not the only one
@@thesmartyartist7937she can be worth it and just not in love at first - having someone reading these books just to talk with you is worth marriage in my humble opinion
aight so short backstory we dated for like 5/6 months while we were in school then we broke up (can’t even remember why). we remained friends until graduation and then i’ve never seen her again 🫡
Dylan if you read the book and decide that it isn’t very good, you should go read Clockwork Angel. It is a book prequel that takes place in steampunk era London and it is so much better than the original series.
The Infernal Devices series will forever be my favorite of the shadowhunters chronicles! There's nothing that compares to the relationship between Tessa, Jem, and Will. They forever have my heart...especially James Carstairs
that would ne horrendous because the last episode of the show is over an hour long ;-; but I would love to see him do it by season as he has been doing with other tv shows at the moment, mostly because I think he would like sebastian (since that's genuinely the best character and acting performance in the entire show).
The TV show is still my favorite show, it had such a chokehold me. Like i was OBSESSED with everything shadowhunter related a couple years ago. I was literally so excited when he mentioned he was gonna do a video on it
factually untrue. The "are they or aren't they" sibling kiss was a nod to Star Wars that Cassie for her best friend, the same best friend Isabelle Lightwood was based on. (Plus, she wrote DracoxHarry or DracoxGinny, it was a better time.)
@@christina4012 haha no, it was actually an inc*st fic about Ginny and Ron! The one you're thinking about is the Draco trilogy, which is a different fic Cassandra wrote
The thing about the werewolves and vampires is that they’re important later so they needed to “introduce” them, as they were expecting it to be a success and have more movies
@@cncable man a first and last would be insaaane considering the imense difference in quality in all regards it would bring so much joy to the old shadowhunter fangirl hidden inside me
Season 1 of the TV show especially in the beginning is admittedly not great at all- but it gets so so much better in the next two seasons in all aspects, it's worth it past the first five episodes :')
I think it's more enjoyable if you consider it its own entity. When I started watching the TV show, I was reading the books along with it and it drove me crazy how much they changed from the books, but once I watched it by itself, it wasn't too bad.
@@aag4021 i agree, for us that watched it as it was airing it was easy to think it was gonna be very loyal since the movie tried really hard to be and actually did a good job on that front, but after a while everyone kinda noticed it was it's own thing and started apreciating the good stuff (after s1 ofc cause dear god does it get better
Oh I definitely agree! I absolutely loved this show but the first five episodes of season 1 genuinely felt like such an effort to get through 😂 and then they gave us the Malec episode and I was fully invested from that point on!
I’ve rewatched this movie like 5 times every year since it came out - it deserved so much more hype at the time it released 😭 And the show could not hold a candle to it. I've been looking forward to this beer and a movie and it didn't disappoint 👏
I have re-watched the mortal instruments so often throughout my childhood and teen years, because my mother absolutely loved it, that it has become one of my most essential comfort movies ever. 😭
I remember shadow hunters and this movie being the SOLE reason I begged my mom for Netflix back in 2017, just because my friends were into it. God what a good time it was to be 14 years old 🤦♀️

See, In my opinion, the mortal instruments is a great book when you are in middle school. Then you grow up and see how ridiculous it all is, but you still have a soft spot for it.
I ate the whole series up in middle school and couldn’t tell u a single plot point other than that the two didn’t care if they were siblings 😭

@@angietoonz6605 my guess: Dom said it all the time casually and no one ever bothered to call him out in it, but Matt very much knew he shouldn't say it and, given that he was live, immediately knew it was gonna be trouble
“They strung his nerd ass up” SENT ME 😂
Him just hanging there 😭
“It’s bondage night!”
“Frying pan brothers”
“You can’t run the race when you’re flat on your face!” 😂😂😂
“3 minutes of Jace having the crap beaten out of him ASMR”
I’m dead 💀
i know he's going up against a seasoned fighter with literal decades of experience, but knowing jace is supposed to be the best of the best while simultaniously seeing him get his asmr handed to him still makes me laugh, ngl
I think the funniest thing here is learning just how in depth the scripting Dylan does for his videos. They’re so chaotic and random I would never have thought they weren’t improvised entirely with only like some flash card level of notes at the most.
2:34 reasons I love Dylan:
1. Promotes Red rising every time he can
I’m on the second book rn and am so far really liking it!
I bought the book cos he kept talking about it haha 😄
@@jjordanrenae oh boy... I am so sad that in my country stop translating the saga. I stopped at book 3 and waited for the last one to come so I can read them in English. I hate to wait for books and I can't do it for this one especially because of the ending of the second one
@@aloka_karunathilaka7159 and do you like it
the author is a zionist
Dylan having to mention how he opened up the book to the exact chapter he wanted and going on a minute long tangent about how awesome and magical he is because of it is so relatable 😂
I still can’t get over the fact that these books started as Ron/Ginny fanfic. Makes me shutter every time I remember. 😭
RON AND GINNY??? I'm sorry I'm shocked lol
Wait....Ron and GINNY???? As in....brother & sister??? 😳
@@amandamayfilmsyes!! And it kinda shows with one of the plot lines in the mortal instruments books tbh
It does make sense now that you mention it LMAOOO
As a YA book devourer this is what has kept me from this series for years 😭 I simply can't get that out of my head
19:30 No cause opening up a book, knowing which page you need to be on, and then somehow you end up on that page exactly and then questioning if you're magical is such a moment. I feel like we've all had that at least once.😂
I tried doing it and I didn't get to the title page, but I opened it on the second page of chapter 17!🤣 So I'm at least a bit magic
Dylan: the dog is a meat sack
My brain: street rat

🎵 I don't by that 🎵
the disappointed “matty…” after Dom said the slur, its GOLDEN. i remember being heartbroken when the video surfaced, but it’s so funny looking back
The way i just HOLLERED at 37:58 WHAT?? & the cut to the apology video omg LOOOOOL
I cacklllerd
as someone who had tmi and other cassie clare books (basically the infernal devices) take over her entire teenage, I LOVED THIS SM. i hope dylan reads the rest of the books and makes it past the "you're my sister, i should want to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what i want to do" debacle 💀💀
bc all in all, having read the books almost a decade ago now, i still think they were very well written and world building was great. not to mention jace in the books is someone NO ACTOR has ever come close to emulating, book jace was just on another level.
Same. I loved the magnus bane chronicles as well because he's my favourite character. I got Cassandra Clare's newest book, sword catcher (not in the shadowhunter world), but saw the beautiful hardback in a book shop and had to buy it. Haven't read it yet because it's a chunky book and currently reading the hobbit but excited to.
Literally! The world building is easily the best thing in the books. The Last Hours, The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices are all even better than The Mortal Instruments and somehow Will is just as amazing of a character as Jace.
I never understood the hype of ACTOR, I couldn’t even finish it. Cassandra Clare at least writes good female mcs.
I feel like he could genuinely like The Infernal Devices, I always thought they were solid books and the best series set in this universe. Plus they are relatively easier to read as it's only a trilogy and not 6 books, and they are not that big either
What part of Jace's character do you think no actor has ever come close to emulating? I don't have a strong opinion on this, so I'm really curious to know other people's reasons.
@@cece28860 yeah but I was hoping for something more specific.
"I was young, dumb, and full of...questionable opinions." 😂

@@NovaFilmsCothank you🙏
Imagine rejecting Robert Sheehan because he wears glasses.
Right!?
Well acting like a simp always be a deterrent
The ways Dylan manages to drop his lore about his college closing will always be amusing to me.
His lore hehehehe
I think one of the reasons simon's kidnapping and the werewolves feel so "out of place" in the Movie is because they are isolated events that are meant to set up plots that happen book 2-onwards. And since they never got a sequel, it does feel like something is missing.
Setting up what? I forgot already 😅
@pottop880 For Simon, it's setting up him turning into a vampire. On book 2 he starts to feel side effects of him being kidnapped by the vampires. In searching for a cure for this side effects, he's attacked and turned.
For the werewolves: it sets up the downworlders which become more prominent in the second book. Valentine is doing a ritual that involves him killing one of each downworlder so the werewolves are involved in investigating when one of their own is nearly killed.
15:09 "Why is everybody so amenable to change?" is such an amazing way to put it. This is what I expect from a guy who totally went to a legitimate college
I (re)watched this video a few nights ago because I think it is one of your best and just now, as I was doing some homework, I opened my Greek-English lexicon (which is over 800 pgs long) to the exact page I needed without even knowing how far into the book I needed to go for the letter I was looking for. I immediately thought of you and your magical experience with Chapter 17. This feels like such a significant event that I want to inform all of my family and friends, but you're probably the only person who would understand why I'm so floored by this!!
This video made me realize that the actor that plays Simon is the SAME ACTOR that plays KLAUS HARGREEVES
it took me such a long time to realize this, and when i did my mind literally went "WTF???" and then it exploded lol
Omggggg I just realised it
Robert Sheehan was also in Misfits and Mortal Engines :)
@@CrAZychicke Yep, he REALLY embodies his characters. Amazing actor. The problem with actors that good is that you have trouble recognizing them at first because of how insanely talented they are, even though they look distinctive. They just FEEL like a different person until you listen to your eyes more than your instincts. Wild stuff.
HE WHAT!?
The cast for this movie was literally STACKED, I feel robbed we never got more movies. Robbie Sheehan as Simon will always be my favorite, oh and Aidan Turner as Luke.
I agree! Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace was amazing to me; I liked that he matched the book cover. The show was so bad!
seriously don’t think i’ll ever recover from the movies being discontinued, i still remember the petition 😭😭 we could’ve had it all fr!!!
literally!!!! The amount of hate that that movie got was WAY beyond what it deserved. It was for the most part a really well done adaptation! I think the issue was probably just that people were over book to movie adaptations at that time, since we had so many. Sooooo disappointing
i love how they (and Dylan) act like Rob Sheehan isnt hot in this? glasses and all?
The cast of the movie didn’t make justice to Alec or Izzy or Magnus.. 😭😭 in the sequel we could have had magnus
The thing is the entire Shadowhunter series, which consists of like 20 books, are all SO FUNNY. Dylan you would really like the humor in these books, especially The Infernal Devices series.
Yeah I personally preferred the infernal devices
I was literally about to comment that while I couldn't make it through the main series I liked Infernal Devices 😂😂
Omg imagine how much he’d love Will and his fear of ducks. I can hear the jokes now
@@chi2om honestly that is exactly what i thought of 🤣
@@chi2om imagine his surprise at who would rip the corset & who would carefully unlace it 😂
In high school the clockwork prequels were my JAM and I recently reread them (I’m 28 now) and they really hold up. I then tried to read city of bones for the first time to see if the prequel characters made an appearance and it was so bad I really had to force myself to finish it. I felt EXACTLY how you did when reading.
Those were my favorite and also the first books I ever read of CCs and I have a soft spot for them too! Helps too I think the main characters were in their early 20s unlike the mortal instruments. I’m pretty sure I also bought the manga of the prequels when I was in middle school I was so in love with the world and characters. I think I just love historical fantasy fiction 😂
This series had 14 year old me IN LOVE with Jace, he was my first book boyfriend
I was in love with Simon 😭
@@clockworkvfx If I re-read the books now I think 24 year old me would be in love with Simon
@@averystinson thats so valid
i read it when i was 13 and now with 23 the is STILL my book boyfriend. I JUST LOVVVEEE JACE ... i cant

7:13 I love it when Dylan mentions Flynn Ryder at random moments just because he can 😂
you don’t understand how much I’ve been WAITING for a tmi commentary 😭😭 this brought pure nostalgia
IK since he said he was working on in, I’ve been WAITING
“Everyone that Clary should trust, she is wary of and everyone she trusts inexplicably, betrays her.” That’s it. You explained the entire series with that one. That was my main beef with her.

December Dylan was right - The Razzle Dazzle Handshake was the best part of video!
razzle dazzle handshake has me rolling! this made my day
it reminded me of kazzle dazzle imagine he read six of crows that would be awesome
Yes!! 🤣🤣 I’m so glad he trusted December Dylan
@@itstuesdaytoday he liked the series he might like the books
First time watcher. Idk how or why this video popped up for me but I’m so glad it did. Loved this book series, and I was hysterically laughing at multiple points throughout the video. Thank you sir. *subscribed*
I devoured all of these books within the week of me graduating from high school, all I remember are vibes and that it helped my sanity after studying. I don't care if they're bad :D I'll love them forever. And I love the movie, too. Lily and Jamie will be forever my Jace and Clary.
not me knowing they’re bad but iam still reading the chronicles religiously until today cause apparently that woman can’t just leave this story alone
@@marialuizamendonca8087 I like to tell myself that some people watch reality tv (which is not very high quality), so there is no problem in me reading something equal to that. We all need to turn our brains off from time to time. I read the Infernal Devices and stopped paying attention. It just felt like too much at the time. But, maybe when I re-read TMI I'll be tempted to read the rest. Are you enjoying the books? Should I give them a chance?
@@spiritmadeofstars honestly i think the best ones will be for ever TID like that was cassandra’s peak in writing. i do understand the problems with TMI, but i got too attached to the characters, like: is it bad? it is, but i love these characters too much to care. also, i think the last book from TMI it’s absolutely amazing, like book 4 and 5 sucks, i honestly don’t remember much about the first and second, but i loved 3th a LOT too. i loved TDA (the one that follows after TMI) almost as much as TID, she shows how much the government it’s broken and the main characters specifically the main family are absolutely my favorites from the whole universe. i hated the trilogy that told the story of TID characters children, i didn’t even finished the last one yet, revisiting TID it’s something that she should’ve not done. as for the other solos books, i think they all work a lot on adding to the story, and are very fun. i was very excited for the magnus and alec trilogy, but i have to be honest and say that i couldn’t even finish the first one (but i particularly think that happened because malec is my favorite ship, and she promised those books like a decade ago and i expected too much as a teenager, so maybe they don’t work for adult me). but honestly? it’s a very fun universe, and if don’t take it so seriously as writing it has a very good and creative world building. these days there much worse books out there. sometimes we just need to take a fun little dumb fantasy book and read it for fun. i was very active at the fandom when i was a teenager, i’ve even met cassandra on a event, it’s a very special series for me even tho i know it’s very bad too.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention Malec 😭 (the only reason I still rewatch this show now)
Right?!
Malec is perfection. The scenes between them. I will watch compilations of all the scenes of them together because they are so perfect. 🥲
Because he didn’t watch the tv show and the movie doesn’t make justice to Alec or Magnus… btw my favorite gay couple EVER
prolly cause he only watched the first episode of the show and in the movie ther's barely any Malec 😭
@@nickiissj SAME. Malec forever. I even have a shirt with their silhouettes on it 🥲😭😭 they’re perfection.
They are the reason I started watching the show and the reason why I kept watching it. Still love them, they're great together
Godfrey Gao (RIP) really looked the part of Magnus Bane. But Harry Shum Jr. Just brought that character to life. Anyone watching the series knows that Alec and Magnus stole the show.
Why is that motorcycle joke killing me everytime 😂😂😂
Dylan breaking down the Mortal Instruments was not in my bingo card this year BUT oh how glorious to bring back my mid-teen obsession with his video
The Infernal Devices is the prequel to TMI and it's crazy how much better it is
So true and I just recently finished reading The Last Hours I recommend this series too it takes place years later after the events of Infernal Devices
fr!! i'm 25 now but will never forget will herondale...
I love the infernal devices and last hours so much, I also think the dark artifices is better than tmi too
@@celesteclement2790 I am planning to :) I’m currently reading the Dark Artifices too
@@Grace_378couldn agree more I thought it was because, despite loving tid because of the love triangle because is insuperable, still my fav one was tda. Probably because of so many family members and rhe impossible and prohibited love story of julian and emma. Glad to see I am not the only one
not me at 16 reading this shit to have something to talk about with the girl i liked who was obsessed with those books. if only i had a motorcycle 😭😭😭
Honestly that's adorable
@@thesmartyartist7937she can be worth it and just not in love at first - having someone reading these books just to talk with you is worth marriage in my humble opinion
aight so short backstory
we dated for like 5/6 months while we were in school then we broke up (can’t even remember why). we remained friends until graduation and then i’ve never seen her again 🫡
I'd totally watch a "read & reaction" with dylan just reading and occasionally saying what he likes or gasping at the plot
Dylan if you read the book and decide that it isn’t very good, you should go read Clockwork Angel. It is a book prequel that takes place in steampunk era London and it is so much better than the original series.
Definitely superior. That trilogy was the SHIT! Jem forever! Hahaha
@@the_lorax9079 omg I’m team Jem too
I second that
Absolutely!! So good
The Infernal Devices series will forever be my favorite of the shadowhunters chronicles! There's nothing that compares to the relationship between Tessa, Jem, and Will. They forever have my heart...especially James Carstairs
i ate this movie up idc i still love it, jcb is THE jace wayland
Same but for some reason I couldn't get through the series
The movie is way BETTER than the tv show
He was everything to me🗣️ show jace could NEVER

yess
that would ne horrendous because the last episode of the show is over an hour long ;-; but I would love to see him do it by season as he has been doing with other tv shows at the moment, mostly because I think he would like sebastian (since that's genuinely the best character and acting performance in the entire show).
Yes! The show and effects get better throughout the show. Even the acting and stunts!
why is your entire body in the thumbnail… this feels very unsettling i’m scared to proceed
this is how i discover that dylan is in trouble actually has legs
This whole beer and a movie was a great watch and masterpiece. It was the best part of my night. One of Dylan's greatest skits.
The TV show is still my favorite show, it had such a chokehold me. Like i was OBSESSED with everything shadowhunter related a couple years ago. I was literally so excited when he mentioned he was gonna do a video on it
Left the princess diaries 2 commentary for this 😂
One of the realest comments, watching Dylan when Dylan updates 😂
The whole chapter 17 bit had me rolling but Dylan's little knees together at 20:16 had me SCREAMING lol
25:11
Wait until Dylan Finds out that The Mortal Instruments started as a RonxGinny Fanfiction from Harry Potter
factually untrue. The "are they or aren't they" sibling kiss was a nod to Star Wars that Cassie for her best friend, the same best friend Isabelle Lightwood was based on. (Plus, she wrote DracoxHarry or DracoxGinny, it was a better time.)
I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON WHAT?!
*DracoxGinny
@@christina4012 haha no, it was actually an inc*st fic about Ginny and Ron! The one you're thinking about is the Draco trilogy, which is a different fic Cassandra wrote
@tanyabochkareva7214 it's the opposite. I think it's fairly obvious Jace is a substitute for Draco.

The thing about the werewolves and vampires is that they’re important later so they needed to “introduce” them, as they were expecting it to be a success and have more movies
Red Rising mentioned, hell yes!! One of my favorite series ever. Fantastic protag with Darrow and excellent writing throughout 👏
Phill collins fan here, really apreciate it.
Loved that the Guy who plays Simon is on the Umbrella Academy Klaus. Hello Goodbye 😂

I'm only 9 minutes in and this is already my favorite Beer and a Movie. The jokes are top tier already and Dylan is wearing a new shirt.
Season 1 of the TV show especially in the beginning is admittedly not great at all- but it gets so so much better in the next two seasons in all aspects, it's worth it past the first five episodes :')
I think it's more enjoyable if you consider it its own entity. When I started watching the TV show, I was reading the books along with it and it drove me crazy how much they changed from the books, but once I watched it by itself, it wasn't too bad.
@@aag4021 i agree, for us that watched it as it was airing it was easy to think it was gonna be very loyal since the movie tried really hard to be and actually did a good job on that front, but after a while everyone kinda noticed it was it's own thing and started apreciating the good stuff (after s1 ofc cause dear god does it get better
@@aag4021yeah I agree, I watched the show before I read the books and now I can’t watch the show again 😂 it’s just too different 😭
Oh I definitely agree! I absolutely loved this show but the first five episodes of season 1 genuinely felt like such an effort to get through 😂 and then they gave us the Malec episode and I was fully invested from that point on!
0:13 because they’re illiterate. Starting off great😭😭😭
I’ve rewatched this movie like 5 times every year since it came out - it deserved so much more hype at the time it released 😭 And the show could not hold a candle to it. I've been looking forward to this beer and a movie and it didn't disappoint 👏
I have re-watched the mortal instruments so often throughout my childhood and teen years, because my mother absolutely loved it, that it has become one of my most essential comfort movies ever. 😭
I remember shadow hunters and this movie being the SOLE reason I begged my mom for Netflix back in 2017, just because my friends were into it. God what a good time it was to be 14 years old 🤦♀️
what a time of low creative standards as well
