In the trailer, I saw a comment claiming that they wouldn't watch this show if Aleksander didn't say "fine, make me a villain". Thank you, whoever wrote this. This is the reason why I watched this show without even knowing the books!!
I'd love a redemption arc for him. Since him and Alina will probably be the only ones to outlive everyone else, it would make sense to become allies eventually. They both just have to grow to want the same thing
@@aarishiaminali3012 I like how you try not to spoil anything. I haven't read the books but I know what happens. But still I really like when they give villiains redemption.
@@Root7m thank you, I try honestly. And I feel like this is one of the best if not the best character I have ever read, and an arc would be, or will be, fantastic. You never really see it happening in any books and people just assume a villain is just bad without any depth and contrast. This is really interesting with the books and the show in comparison.
@@aarishiaminali3012 I agree with you, for me he is the best character in the grishaverse, he is so complex and intriguing, I wish a redemption arc so much for him. I don't re-read the books cuz I feel so frustrated of the way Leigh handles aleksander
@@aarishiaminali3012 I haven't but I do know what happens. I'm just hoping that the show goes its own way. Maybe not impossible since it sounds like they've already improved on Mal and Alexander so much, in terms of their attitudes toward Alina. Obvs Alexander still does a lot of messed up things to Alina but their relationship before all that was way more equal in the show than what I've heard of the books, her kissing him etc
Literally the only character I care about. I don't want him to condemn himself to villainy, but I have a bad feel everyone will give him no other choice. Ugh, sad hours.
I really want the show to somehow get the "if they had only met sooner" bit right... Had Alina shown up sooner there would have been a chance to save him, he would have still been more Aleksander than The Darkling. They are literally soulmates who met too late and the utter tragedy of that... 💔 At the same time I just want it to not be too late, God damn it Ben Barnes and your perfect face and brilliant acting. Lol
SPOILER: the end of it will look like/same as Dracula's. (At least in the book). SPOILER2nesxt: he lets himself be killed because he knows he won't be with her forever. Since she became mortal.
The first English movie I watched was narnia - prince caspian at the age of ten and he was my first celebrity crush. Now I'm 16 and saw him as the darkling in shadow and bone and thats when I understood that life is a continuous cycle of crushing over Ben Barnes🖤🖤🖤 When he said "make me your villain" ........ ICONIC!!🔥🔥 This edit suits him so much !!! 💙💙
Oh man...here comes again my childhood crush for this absolutely perfect amazing man! Fell for him head over heels during Narnia's movies. And now...he is coming back for my neck
I love him so much, he is the most intriguing and amazing character for me, I wish so badly that they won't kill him in the show, he is a character with so much potential in my opinion
Ben has said that he thought when he started acting that he'd be given only parts like Hugh Grant in romantic comedies and historical period films, like "Pride & Prejudice." But then he started being asked to do "bad guy" roles the last 5 or 6 years. (I can see why!) But now he's anxious to do a "leading man who gets the girl" role. So there's that!
He doesn't need a redemption arc! He rules the world, it will be such shame if he subject to a certain standard that would call him "good", to a certain hero stereotype 'cause he's just something else entirely! If you're not good, you're bad, but is that really that? No black and whites, no good or bad for him. He's just what he is. The Darkling.
Strong song for Aleksander. Cheer. Through your video, we see all the talent of Ben Barnes and all the involvement in his interpretation. He gives so many nuances to Aleksander that I no longer see him as the villain of the novel. He has become more than that. I hope that the following seasons will still give this opportunity to Ben Barnes. Chanson forte pour Aleksander. Bravo. A travers ta vidéo, on voit tout le talent de Ben Barnes et toute l'implication dans son interprêtation. Il donne tant de nuances à Aleksander que je ne le vois plus comme le vilain du roman. Il est devenu plus que ça. J'espère que les saisons suivantes donneront encore cette opportunité à Ben Barnes.
Wow! Really beautiful this video with a powerful song. I think The Darkling isn't only a simple villain, is more like a 50 shadows of grey. And Ben Barnes explored them perfectly. I've read the books, so I leave this comment knowning what I talk about.
@@yourimagineworld Although it's been days since I've seen it, I still love your video. I also shared it in two private facebook groups that I am a member of. I had to. I hope you do not mind
Aaaaaawwww, such potential .... for the perfect hero turning into vilaine turning into hero turning into vilaine, etc. pleeeeeaaase use it wisely....with great power comes great responsibilty 😉
He is very manipulative, ruthless and toxic. For Alina and everyone else. And I believe before Alina arrived, he was using Zoya. But even then, I cannot stop myself from watching these Darkling edits. Ah what am I going to do with myself? 😭💘💔
Judging from Zoya's flirtation with Mal in the first episode, I don't think there was something serious from her side. He was definitely attracting women's attention. But only Alina could be equal to him, their relationship line could be so interesting. I don't want to see the second season because they will make Alexander just another Billy Russo or another maniac character...
Oh Lawd please give him a role where he is good throughout, like Prince Caspian...why does this beautiful man always has these grey or dark characters???? I mean mysterious box check but still... my heart hurts when he is wrong
Honestly I'm probably the only one who doesn't ship alina with the darkling but still thinks he sexy. He is an awesome villain 👏 ♥ 😍 ❤ 😎 🙌 Ben Barnes is amazing
I shipped them at first but after what he did in the later episodes I just couldn't. Though I still kinda agree with him. Why not use the fold as a weapon? Put an end to the war with a sure victory.
i just know that the writers will raise our expectations about alina and darklings relationship and then end it like nothing happened and there was no chemistry between them, i beg u, dont ever do it, dont ruin the ship like the way vampire diaries did with klaroline, i cant take it anymore.
So could you consider deleting the 'morozova' part from the title? People can find your video by accident and get spoiled unintentionally, and I feel like that's a pretty major spoiler
@@yksmuhendisiamatpadaybirst2532 Sorry about the spoiler, y'all! But don't lose hope in the Darkling yet. I have no real idea which way Leigh Bardugo will take him in the books, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
OK. I see many people asking for a redemption ark for him? But how? Even if the creators stray away from book to give him a second shot that too with Alina they will have to change a lot. Maybe introduce a new villain. Maybe the Shu or Fjerdans. But I don't see how they can just forgive him after all the things. Any scenarios in mind?
Am I the only one who had a breakdown when I read the part where Baghra said he was evil? like they fr COULD have had it all if Alina wasn't a strong woman.
Don't write about "it's Morozov, not Morozova. It's annoyong. "Morozva" is canon, I CAN'T CHANGE IT. And I don't care about Russian correctness, because Grishaverse is ONLY BASED on Russia and others countries. THIS ISN'T REAL WORLD. I'll delete all comments on this topic. I said what I said.
Oh Thank God someone finally said it, literally even when I read a fanfic and they have changed their names it instantly makes me not want to read anymore like omg these are made up names just stap.
@@toria6719 but everyone is saying that if you wear kimono for example is cultural appropriation, but making an entire fictional universe based on real culture and using everything from that culture incorrectly is not and people are just supposed to accept it? Why? Explain me please.
@@Xjulenax this is not here and there, still, most of those things are part of my culture and its absolutely offensive, use it for your your art, it’s not a problem, but to it correctly, be respectful
Weirdly I feel Aleksander would be the best match for Danaerys from GoT 😂. In fact I’m most likely going to write a short Fic ( why I didn’t know my autocorrect would change the word fic to Fock is beyond me) to see if it works 😂😅
Please, please change his surname to “Morozov”. Morozova is female surname. After Alina will marry with Darkling she could change her surname to Morozova :)
he’s literally carrying the whole series alone if netflix wanna keep up with the show they better keep him alive
Right
Don't worry, he is still alive in third book of Grisha.
I want a redemption arc for aleksander without killing him!
They better defuck doooo
Unfortunately I’m getting a “Kylo Ren “ redemption arc if he does
In the trailer, I saw a comment claiming that they wouldn't watch this show if Aleksander didn't say "fine, make me a villain". Thank you, whoever wrote this. This is the reason why I watched this show without even knowing the books!!

Fine, make me your villain.

🔥🔥🔥🔥
That simple line sends me shivers every time I hear him say it.
Everytime I hear it I start crying-😭
I love this line so much and the way he says it in the show with such intensity...
oh this quote is just like hello brother🙃 much more relevant and dramatic however
Literally the only character I care about. I don't want him to condemn himself to villainy, but I have a bad feel everyone will give him no other choice. Ugh, sad hours.
Totally agree with you 🥺🥺🙈
The most intriguing character in the show by far
I think the same 😩
He is literally carrying the Shadow and Bone trilogy by himself. I love him so much
Sameeee
He deserves a whole show about him ❤️❤️
Yes!
Ben Barnes could literally kill me if he wanted to
YES 🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥
So true. He is so awesome.
And I would thank him

He's the entire story. Most fascinating character.
He gives off Klaus Mikealson vibe.Hope he gets similar story line.Not quite redeemed but also not completely evil.

This me when my husband asks why we’re watching it 😆

This song goes so well with this video and General Kirigan. 😍💯
I love him 🤩
no one is like him
Yesssss
UGH hes so perfect
Thats it
He puts power into words breathes life into a story

and u spoke facts bestie
SAY IT LOUDER

Yeah, pretty frustrating...off screen he's constantly smiling. Someone should cast him in a Jane Austen book adaptation or something.
Given that they already changed a lot of the characters it would only seem the right choice that Alina and Aleksander be endgame. At least to me. 🤔
This is amazing.. 🖤
