" The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak. "
Can I even explain how excited I was for this new season ?
Shadow & Bone and the Grishaverse have been some of my favorite things these past years.
I loved season 2 and the mix between Siege & Storm and Ruin & Rising.
I expected a bit more for the Darkling's death scene (more faithful to the books) but considering all the hints to King Of Scars in the last episode, there is no doubt he'll be back.
I could elaborate on this whole season and the entire cast of characters especially the crows and Freddy Carter's performance but will leave it to that for now.
Thank you so much for watching, lots of videos coming in the next few days. :)

A very complex character who was more comprehensible in the books, indeed i think his development was rushed in the serie and peoples couldn't entirely understand how deeply he was ruined. He lived a thousand years and as many traumatic children become himself a persecutor. Every villain has a reason to be the way they are. I think he understood that sometimes violence is the only solution to be safe. Alina is very young and maybe a little naive, she will have to face many issues now that the fold who was the "main" problem of the continent is gone.
Yea tbh this season felt a bit rushed as a whole… not just for the Darkling.
They ruined Darkling
I thought he was more nuanced in the show and i actually preferred him to the books. But it was rushed, yeah.
@@emilyatkinson6170thats bc they smooshed 2 books together
I wonder how *right* the Darkling was/will be about the Grisha? it's easy to cast him as being a naysayer of people working together, but i mean he's..seen all this before, he's tried to help his people through the years and has only *now* managed to get them to a point where they are begrudgingly accepted. and that took centuries.
He is a villian and he is too good of a charasmatic villian to be truly gone 😢 A tragic character who keeps the story moving, who challenges our morals.
I will miss him and I still hope we'll see more of him.
He will be back.
I wish... I wish he would come back 🥺@@OGfisk
“You make sure that there’s nothing left of me, please…”
That line just broke my heart 💔
Yess,and the the „my little saint" that was really fucking sad
Why did he need for nothing of him to be left?
@@skywalker6763 because he didn't want anyone to take and use his bones as an amplifier
@@reekaren2609 oohhh
So there’s no way he’s coming back in upcoming seasons? (I haven’t watched that show but I like the edits, to see him)
@skywalker6763 Honestly, I don't think there's even going to be another season considering how they messed it all up. But his hand was left, and they did leave a little easteregg about him returning so 🤷
But I doubt Ben would return, he seemed kinda disappointed with the season.
Alina didn't even try to understand him...she just decided she suffered more than him which is impossible in the first place....now Alina will take his place and years later she will finally understand him and his actions but it'll be too late
I'm so waiting Alina remember every quote of Darkling during the season 3 :))
Wait have you read ruin and rising? I don't want to give a spoiler lol
Ayyyyy es muy tonta Alina 😢
And how did she not understand him.Please elaborate. And for God's sake have yall not read the books or something. Alina's has LOST HER POWERS.
that one scene where the nicheo'ya hurt alina and he screams/tries to stop them. that scene broke me.
Same. I wish I could take that moment apart because there is so much in that... he doesn't want her hurt, he wants her safe. She is the only hope for a future.
Ah, Ben Barnes, the gorgeous, complex one. Makes a great hero character (like in Prince Caspian) and also a greater villain! Such an underrated actor.
He is also amazing in the punisher if you have seen that
Im sad. He truly deserved more care in the show. He's a deeply flawed person but has so much trauma. No one could ever understand him
Coming back.
After an amazing first season, the writers butchered the story and these characters in season two, but Ben Barnes still showed everyone how to make the best of any scene. RIP Darkling. RIP Darklina. You deserved better.
When the makers don't know the worth of what they created and ruin it with their own hands, it is a tragedy...
S3 would have been guranteed...IF the writers had done darklina and not rushed 4 books into episodes
I will forever hate christina strain, prithi, and all the other writers
I'm crying😭 I can't believe that he's gone😭😭
His "my little saint" finished me off
😭😭😭
Even though he did do a lot of terrible things he loved alina in a way he hadn't done with anyone before....for me he was the best character on the show and if he's not coming back I'm not watching season 3....as simple as that 😅
Same!
I agree
He gets resurrected in the books so I am sure they will bring him back
@@audreydemasi4690 yeaa but doesn’t he get resurrected in a different person tho? Just asking for clarification
@@audreydemasi4690 He does?? I only read the trilogy. He come back in the crow books? Or the wolf one?
The Best Character in the series will be dearly missed.
This video really shows his tragic tale beautifully.
Now maybe he can be resurrected again & actually have loyal allies too. It would be a fantastic idea. Also, there's still The Cult Of The Starless Saint & many grisha realistically would want him back.
They really said “I guess we don’t want to continue the show anymore”
Proceeds to kill off the most interesting character.
TRUTH
Kaz is also very good
So yall are telling me the villain should have stayed alive to continue to cause havoc.....And for your kind information he gets resurrected
Absolutely beautiful!😭
their relationship is the most interesting one. hopefully we'll see more of him, there's so much potential.
Thank you 🖤
So complex character, tragic and beautiful. His anger, fear, endless loneliness, desire to be understood and finally get some peace make me crying.
It’s a masterpiece. Thank you 🖤
That scene "And just for a moment... I swear I did" and they showed their first kiss OMG It made me tear so hard :..((
This is probably the best Darkling video I have seen ❤….Ben is such a brilliant actor !
Thank you so much !!
i never wanted the evil person in a story win, like I did in this one. Ben did a freaking amazing job with the darkling, and the chemistry between alina and alex was very beatifully fked up in a good way. The way we love ppl is sometimes the only way we know how to, so even in his fked up way he loved her. He is right dow. light cannot exist without shadow bc light creates it. This is the only show which i beg the writers of netflix to twist the og story and make this it their own. Bring him back when alina needs him in S3 make him less fked up, make this a happy ending for tthem.
Ugh I love them. Theirs is a complex, intimate relationship and no-one else can understand them as well as they do each other. Ben really brought his A game this season and this vid really highlighted it! Great work!
Agreed, thank you so much!
Not understand each other. Alina is too young compared to darkling in terms of both experience and age. She cannot see the world the way darkling see it. She hasn’t suffered the way darkling has suffered. She still have people who are truly her friends. The love, respect and care for her. Whereas darkling followers only follow him due to fear or their arrogance towards non griesha people. He never had anyone who cared for him like a friend or a lover.
this might very well be my favourite darkling video oh my god - i just bawled my way through this. wow.
Thank you so much 🥹🖤
Darklingly beautiful !
Thank youuuu
the wasted potential of his character kills me It would be the most beautiful love story in the world why the writer didn't give it a chance and Netflix too
For the second day I can't get over it, not because he died (it was predetermined, the show mercifully prepared the viewer for this moment), but because of exactly how it happened.
I am eternally grateful to you for this video. A brilliant combination, a sensible sequence and an ingenious ending: the darkness at the end. Specifically this particular means of artistic expression, for all its simplicity, is so to the point, so precise, that I fell back into the depths of endless grief for this character.
Thank you so much! I can only hope the way he was handled this season is to provide for a more heartbreaking death at the end of the series, if the crew gets to do their multi-season plan.
This is a masterpiece. First the tension, then it breaks down to that sad part and all these voice overs and that double "Aleksander".... I love it!
Your editing is phenomenal. This is so beautiful to watch the way it is pieced together, with the music.
Thank you so much 💜
This so great that I have no words, but only tears 😭😭😭
Thank you 🖤
I NEVER cry at things like this but I cried after watching this😭.
I still haven't watched all of season 2 but when I saw the scenes with Baghra in this video I cried. The Darkling is a horrible manipulative man but I still can't help but love him. The way Leigh wrote this character makes it really difficult to fully hate him, she added so many layers to this villain. Also the acting of Ben Barnes and the show just makes it that much better. This man deserved better🖤👑
Extremely well made video. I think this did more justice for the darkling than the actual show did lol
I watched this whole series of for him
This is a *masterpiece!* I'm in awe here... STUNNING!
Thank you so much !!
One of my favorite videos for one of my favorite characters. Amazing, really well done. I teared up a little again
So beautiful! Great job! I don't know how the series will go on without him😢
he's the only reason i watch, the show died when he did
I love darklina but i don't think alina deserves him. She didn't even try to understand him but he did it no matter what. But now she is gonna understand what he meant
Wow this Darkling Tribute is so Hauntingly Beautiful!!!
What a beautiful video. It made me cry 😭
I’m not ashamed to say I was rooting for him over Alina even tho I knew she’d win
THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT. NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW GOOD THIS IS-
SPOILER AHEAD
In the books, he gets resurrected and the show is mostly true to the books so do not lose hope folks.
The writers don't deserve him.
Book Spoiler: He lives
How?
there was so much irony and symbolism with his story that makes it so powerful. the best of them is the fold being created and destroyed out of grief and loss, the parallels were done really well.
I want shadow and bone together . They looked awesome together 😢
I believe he will be back to save Alina and Nikolai.
their relationship is far to interesting for her to End up with MAL! Mal is so Boring compared to Alexander Or the prince!!
ikr her and mal have the same level of chemistry that the bread in hellgate had w water when Mathias tried to eat it
@@erinaethila9736 It's so Rare for me to Not like the best friend troupe but in this case! I hope tehy change the last season to her with ANYONE ELSE! the Prince and her barely knew each other but they had great chemistry and her's and the Darkling also! al.. it's almost like he's just an option. Just because he's there.. I don't feel this 'Great romance" that makes Mal better then Alexander Or the Prince..
When they are on screen together it’s 🖤🖤🖤🖤 beautiful! Alina has so much more chemistry with him it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are perfect when he is with Alina 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 DARKLING FOREVER
Omg I agree but tbh I think they might end up being together after all the end of season 2 shadow & bone was interesting but also I think it hinted that aleksander might be coming back
I hope Kirigan comes back in the next season. They've already made a bunch of changes so why not modify The Darkling's resurrection. Maybe he even gets a redemption arc bringing Alina back from the darkness
I can't believe that he is gone he have to come back in season 3 there is no other option
This was painful. Sorrowful. But beautiful. I would not want it any other way. This video described them well. Shame on Netflix……now I have to go read the book….one day.
He’s not dead yall❗️he’s gonna return
He's gonna return and get turned into a tree whilst suffering for eternity...how is that better 😭
This is one of the best edits I’ve ever seen
🖤
Edits like this makes me even more mad about not having ONE Darklina scene rightly adapted from the books. Sure we got some classics quotes but they were so out of contexts that they fell flat to me. I guess we should’ve seen it coming with the “Call Me Alexsander” bullshit from season 1 but still.
Will forever be salty that the Chapel scene, the bitter and emotional death scene, and allll of the other ones will only exists in my head and will never be able to be exposed in a beautiful edit like this.
Seriously i couldn’t agree more. I still dont understand why the writers make some rushed story which makes no sense at all and even worse they just butcher all darklina scens and feelings for each other in the books. While i watched this whole season i just lost every words for the ridiculous story. And im still mad about not getting ONE GOOD DARKLINA MOMENT. They should’ve had, could’ve had but as i can see they clearly dont seem to be interested in sab but soc. So what can i say 😂 But knowing that im not the only one who missed all that lost scene in the books makes me feel less sad. #Darklina deserved more!
If doesn't comeback in S3, then I am not watching this show. You don't cast Ben Barnes as a villain and expect the audience not to root for him.
Assuming they are doing both King of Scars books then he definitely will be
I still ship them idk why
I'm at 4 minutes and I have tears in my eyes 😢: the instrumental music highlights the voice of Ben Barnes. The images of Aleksander's past add to the emotion... Phew... Well I continue... at 6 minutes, I'm crying 😭... Oh Aleksander...
Thank you for this video, thank you for the fan of Ben Barnes that I am. He was masterful and your video shows it so well. Alright, I'll get a box of tissues now. ❤
Je suis à 4 minutes et j'ai les larmes aux yeux : la musique intrumentale met en évidence la voix de Ben Barnes. Les images du passé d'Aleksander ajoutent à l'émotion... Ouf ... Bon je continue... à 6 minutes, je pleure.... Oh Aleksander...
Merci pour cette vidéo, merci pour la fan de Ben Barnes que je suis. Il a été magistral et ta vidéo le montre tellement bien. Bon, je vais chercher une boite de mouchoirs maintenant.
Merci beaucoup 🖤
une très belle vidéo.. j’ai adoré ce personnage ! mon favori. Il va me manquer, j’espère que on le verra encore !
Merci pour la vidéo ❤
Merci beaucoup 🖤
One of the best I've seen.
Can they bring him back pls.
I don’t understand so much complexity and potential for redemption, only to end him. It’s a waste of work and depth for the relationship to end that way.
He was too ambitious 💔
God this is such a fantastic edit
Wow incredible editing - amazing video!
Thank you so much !
He loved her very much, but between them the abyss of misunderstanding.
I so l❤ him
Shit ı fell in love with him
SPOILERS in the book he is not dead a sankta resurrects him. The fold will come back and he will save Ravka sacrificing himself being in eternal agony in the void and darkness that existed before the creation of the world holding the fold there.
I like him here but in books especially as a villain. No matter how scary in the book he was, I rooted for him along with the heroes(mal + Alina).
I loved season 2 a lot. I wish they would have shown him cunning and wise and calm and collected because he ruled and lived and experienced and was scary. They made him too sorrowful and whiny and beaten by time and loneliness type. Even though he was, he hated looking weak, which take away the horror from him for me.
I am happy that they kept the connection with him and Alina. He wanted Alina from the start of the book and show. I think Alina never owed him anything to be his salvation or light or to even understand him. He offered and she rejected. But I loved his obsession with him. He never really gave up.
I wish that Leigh one day write a book through mal perspective because I understood everyone in the book but never him. I was most curious about him. I am happy that he chose his path rather than her guard in the show.
I wish they both find each other back again. Malina❤ and I wish they bring darkling back and find him some peaceful resolution. People can sympathize with him. I do too even in books but let's not rationalize when far more younger people are giving away and losing but stand by right in Grisha's verse.
I am happy they didn't make alina and darkling some love and blah blah just like vampire dairies ruined Damon because his love for Alina. I wish this bad boy and good girl trope didn't ruined this show.
As an old Delena fan, now I root for Darklina. Malina gives me Stelena vibes 🤣
i will strip away. All that you know all that you love. Till you have no shelter but ME.
Does he feel guilty because the last person he was in love with died because of him so he’s trying to protect her and all his people
I only read the first book. so I don't know what will come in the next season but I think for sure if Darkling will not come in next season I will not watch... my interest will be over...
the season 2 was a disappointment for me as much as i liked the first season i hated what they did to his character in season two
I am not okay. I am not okay. I was bawling my eyes out in the end. And I watched it last night, I'm still crying!!! I'm sorry but the ending changed but not his?! I watched this show for the Darkling he's such a brilliant villain and I've just read the first book. Genuinely so so upset rn. And look at Alina. In the end, what he said was true but no ohh no Miss Starkov and has to go prove herself right. Um like Miss who's been dealing with this shit for a century? Who's turned into a monster because of what he did? Yep. So, so upset 😞
Continue reading, especially the King of Scars duology by the same author 🖤
@@Cilyra Is it really worth it? 😩 I've only been invested in the Darkling
I wouldn't know what worth it means to you, but there is more to the Darkling in the King of Scars duology, if you'd ever want to read that (which I think is where they want to go with the show)
I’ll let him ❤❤
Can he come back from the shadows please.... some sort of magic were it doesnt matter if there is a body or not because he gets rebirthed from shadows.
His Bloodline has a phoenix methaphor so why not. If this does not happen in s3 it will be my official headcanon anyway
The Darkling reminds me of Pitch Black from Rise Of The Guardians
What’s with the hate for season 2? As someone who doesn’t read the books it was my favorite so far
wait he died
real shit
The people defending the darkling are the ones that never see the red flags in a guy until it is too late😂😂For godsake's Leigh wrote his character after her toxic ex who manipulated her......The people who are still defending darklina haven't read King of Scars.....Alina is so much in peace and so goddamn happy with Mal and that is all that matters❤❤
LB never said that Darkling is based on her toxic ex. Aleksander is based on the Goblin King from Labyrinth. She admitted it herself. I don't know where you got that information, but it's not true. Another thing is that the book and Tv series Darkling are two very different characters. People loved this version and they see how much he was right in what he said. And in the end, Alina got involved with Mal who compared her to a goat, cheated on her and didn't respect her (if you insist on books :) ). In the series, Mal left her because it wasn't true love, just infatuation with an amplifier.
[SPOILERS]

I can't believe Leigh Bardugo brought him back for the Nikolai centric duology to kill him off again and turn him to a tree 😭😭
This is so sad to watch. There's nothing complex about him. He has so many issues, most deep rooted of all are his mommy issues and delusion..
Even his own mother can see that you can love him and simultaneously realize, there's no redemption for him.
He's used to playing victim for so long that it's almost poetic that he becomes one in the end; by the hand of someone who could've helped.
With the sword that cuts through shadows ☺️
Interesting choice to say that a persecuted minority is playing a victim
this was fucking rude and i am so emotionally compromised
Very much the opposite to how we women usually operate, no? We always try to cure and make better. I was kind of hoping she would use her light to shuck the Merzost out of his body. That's me being an old romantic I suppose. It breaks my heart that he lies there dying and still loves her.
