bruh sorry to alina but i'm built different cause if this man was looking at me like that i'd be on my knees
i'd happily rule the world with him, SOMEONE clearly can't relate smh
I can’t even look at his face when watching the show. I get so nervous 😩
@@stvrmhondss5932 literally shes so ungrateful uhhh 😩
OMG guys, your comments literally made my day 😂😂
@@stvrmhondss5932 PERIOD! Without hesitation! I’m sorry but I don’t want to run an orphanage or a farm as the show put. Id much rather rule with the ancient evil who simps at my feet 🤷🏽♀️. Unlike Alina I don’t squander my opportunities lol
Homeboy really tried to make Alina fall for him and she uno reversed his ass💀😭
I didn't mean to laugh that hard at this comment but😂😂😂😂😂😂
This made me die of laughing sorry
in the books it works 💔
It works in the book but I think he played the game to well and they both called for each other but he is the darkling so we will never know. I mean she was always in love with him and she hated him but that doesn’t mean you can’t love a person. You really never get his side so maybe he did but his greed for power overtook his feelings. We will never know
@@sarar7363 so in the books Alina really did fell in love with the Darkling?? Cz in the Netflix series it seemed like what Alina felt towards Aleksander was just infatuation and not love, almost seemed like Alina just made the Darkling a replacement for Mal since she thought Mal never cared for her when she didn't get any letters from him.. Alina made the Darkling a rebound guy, that's what it seemed like in the series.. Sorry I've never read the books but I'm crazy about the Netflix series and I think I'm gona start reading the books cz like they always say, the books is always better than the screen adaptation..
If a villain kissed me and walked off but then came back to give me another kiss like that I'd destroy the world with him
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
He's so stupid, he tried to manipulate her and ended up catching feelings, i love my dumb villain
Dumb villian 😂😂
He really played himself
😂😂😂
UGH I LOVE HIM TOO LMAO
I CANT MUAHAHAHAHA
Bruh that scene where alina is showing her powers and everyone is covering their eyes bc the light is too much but he doesn't look away MY MAN DOESN'T EVEN BLINK, SHE IS PROBABLY BURNING HIS EYES BALLS BUT NO, our priority is simping😌🖤
« Our priority is simping » I CANT AJSJAJSJJAJA he was ready to go blind for her 😭
SPOILER BOOK 2 (i mean just a quote but whatever)
“I've seen what you truly are, and I've never turned away. I never will."
When i saw that scene in the show, i was like : damn, he really meant it :/
@@alexandraheraudet9395 I know right? I LOVED it.
@@alexandraheraudet9395 YES that's my fav darklina quote and here he was doing it LITERALLY
@@alexandraheraudet9395 and I think he does it everytime she shines!!!
How can Netflix expect us to not ship them if Aleksander is played by BEN BARNES like come on that's not fair 😭
Yeah it's a hopeless case for us
RIGHT?!
I said thus exact thing omg
SIS YOU ARE FUCKING RIGHT 😂😂😂
@A 23 M. WE NEVER DID 💀
He simps for Alina, I simp for him....it’s an endless cycle.
What you've described is a simp line, with you at the tale end. x'D It's kind of sad. Who simps for you? And who then simps for them?
@@Anna133199 i volunteer to simp
bestie i simp for both 😭
@@Anna133199 hmmm you’re right. I meant it in a metaphorical way though. Darkling will always simp for Alina no matter how she opposes him, and I will always simp for him. It is indeed a sad reality.
@@geraleemarie4272 As you should, as we all should.
sorry but im supposed to believe this dork is pure evil? no ❤
Ikr he is the Dorkling 🤣🤣🤣 (ps:saw it on tumbrl) Lol
i cackled 😭
no, he is not pure evil, he is a mess. A mass murdering, manipulativ, abusiv, selfsabotaging, self rightious, idiotacly adorable mess ^^ He is a villain, no room to argue that, but that does not mean he can not be kinda adorable while at it ^^
@@SingingSealRiana hes just broken. He has the right intentions in mind just not the right way of executing it. He’s spent his entire life being hunted and running and losing people he loves.
@@MysteryGaming101 he is broke, true, but he is not just broke, he made his choices. I feel empathy for him, but there is no way to excuse the carnage he has inacted. At some point the intentions behind it do not matter any longer, what he wanted and suffered through does not change what he did.
PLEASE HE IS ALINA'S BIGGEST SIMP IS SO FUNNY
🖤DARKLINA SUPREMACY🖤
LMAO simp! Aleksander is now my aesthetic for these two
I just read 2 books which are Shadow & bone and Siege and Storm and I don't think I still ship them cause the Darkling left his mother eyeless but I still feel butterflies flutting when they kiss, anyway I ship them in the show but not in the books.
i mean, i feel like we really deserve a proper lovers to enemies to lovers story and this one has SUCH potential....
much more interesting than the boring bestfriends to lovers one tbh. and that's not even considering their light/dark, yin and yang, two sides of the same coin dynamic
Honestly we do have Helnik for that 🥰✋🏽
@@angelofthe2000s sadly is not going to end up well for either of them 😭😭
@@blurrylinesx8039 pls don’t remind me lmao
Like megamind
the darkling before he met alina: “i’m the most evil manipulative villain”
the darkling when alina came into his life: “so pick me. choose me. love me”
*i swear in every episode this man acting like he’s ready to risk it all for her*
respect for that ga ref
Hahahahaha! GA
Jareth confirmed love me fear me and i be your slave xd
I heared that before
key word being "acting" lol
i love how kaz gave him "he so whipped it's embarrassing" look but in his free time he thinks of bottling inej's laugh and getting drunk on it everyday. boi you're even more whipped than darkles
I’m crying stop 😂😂💀💀💀😭
"Darkles" jfc thats so simple but so funny im so calling him Darkles from now on
really no one is gonna talk about kaz looking at darkling being so lovey dovey with alina, and then he looks at inej... ??
ROFL Darkles 🖤
rbfjrebfki yes lmao
As a darkling stan, when the screeners said that we would hate the darkling after watching the show I was scared af but when I watched it I was like ??? He's much worse in the books...
Yes like.....Ben Barnes showed so much of his humanity and vulnerability. If anything it just made me root for him more. So Idk what they talking about tbh🤨
i expected this as well lol im what yall consider "local viewer" since i have 0 idea whats up in the grishaverse. but immediately noticed their chemistry and their relationship is fucking interesting 😩
@@lovedagger I'm glad you liked the show lol I wonder if Ben would make us hate the darkling in future seasons although I doubt it bc after all the books I still love him
@@LovelyLunarian true! I'm even more obsessed with the character??? I blame ben for that
@@aldanalisethromero9908 am I crazy if i say there was never a moment in the series where I didn’t like The Darkling lol??? It literally wasn’t until the end of Book 3 that I started to think that he was doing too much in a bad way
Yo I died when the Darkling somehow managed to find blue irises to give Alina after finding out it’s her favorite flower from Mal. Like it’s so cute but at the same time, mans had to find out from the rival love interest what her favorite flower was. 😆
He was so messy for that 💀 a Regina George moment
Ben barnes hated that move of darkling and the people who watched it found it hilarious... I laughed out loud when he came with the flowers in that scene... That was such a clever move...
Well he doesn't know her all that well so....
That moment had me SCREAMING. He's bad but he's so good at being bad
@@svogel6459 He's handsome as hell! he's so bad but he does it so well hahaha
the way he comes back again for another kiss after leaving the room.. MY HEART LEFT THE CHAT dis shit too cute 😭
@Lindsay Tobias-Mancia Really? You mean Ben improvised it?
Lindsay Tobias-Mancia bruh where did u get this info 😭😭
@Lindsay Tobias-Mancia Did he say it in an interview? Please, I need answers
@@magdalenatrukszyn7625 Yes, he said it in an interview. According to him, since the next scene is the one where everything goes wrong for them and it is revealed he was trying to manipulate her at some point, he said he thought the scene before that had to be as sweet as possible, so viewers would question themselves if it was truly all fake or if he ended up falling for her. He asking her "are you sure?" was also improvised by Ben
@@blurrylinesx8039 Well he did a great job...
I still can't believe that he is the bad boy:(
This man is on the verge of tears every time he's with her like ok man we get it CALM DOWN...
Fr😂
He has really FALLEN
Lmfao
the sun gets in his eyes!
Toby macquire Spiderman 3
That one dislike is from Aleksander himself
More like from Mal
nahh he would love this but I cant say the same for alina and malyen
There’s 8 now, and it’s Mal on different accounts lmao
Also one is definitely from Baghra and one from Zoya lmao.
Aleks is like "don't ruin my image I'm a bADDiE"

HUhUHUHuhhu TRU
If they didn’t want us to ship them they shouldn’t have made them so hot together
True. It's not fair... Their chemistry is just over the roof, and with Mal it just lands in the basement☹️
THANK YOU! YOU ARE FREAKING RIGHT!
Same lmao 🤣 like I am trying my hardest not to ship cuz Alina a minor but bro why did they have to make them have the greatest chemistry.
And that’s why Ben Barnes is the best payed actor in that show. He is worth every penny!
Don't get me wrong, Ben is very talented and I love him but shouldn't jessie be paid more? Considering that she is the lead. I also think that because Ben was already an established actor, the salary is automatically higher. Idk i just hope that Jessie gets the proper treatment because she is so amazing.
@@mwahaha03 Yeah like you said Ben is an established actor, he's bound to get paid more
danielle taylor it’s because he is an established actor that he will be payed more than any unknown of actor that doesn’t have many well known works. Which is the case for most of the cast .
@@mwahaha03 Yeah he's the only cast I knew before, beside Baghra maybe, I swear to god i saw her face somewhere before. I even looked the actress up but the only thing listen on imdb I know is Harry Potter and that just doesn't feel right...
unless I'm wrong and I'm not sure but, I don't even think he auditioned for the role of the darkling. I think it was just offered to him😂😂😂 which thank goodness because tumblr has used his face as the darkling for years it was honestly the right choice he was cast
pls he cleaning the fountain was so funny for no reason 😭🖐️
IKR WHY DID HE DO THAT LMAO
He literally turned into a teenager shifting about his desk cause there's a pretty girl in his room
@@kedarraman6690 EXACTLY HSJSJD

That was improv???? 🥰😭
@@eowynfan17 Yes.
@@m2255-e3n WHAT did he say why?
I’m SO glad people noticed the look on Kaz’s face when the Darkling gave her those flowers

""what do you mean my actions have consequences :("
"i just wanted to rule the world with you :("
IM CACKLING AJHAGJHD omg this was so good

Lets ignore the future corpse of people in his goal to reach it

Me reading the books 🤡
@@janewallace5228 😂
Same here, same 😭🖤
A girl can dream...... ugh what torture :(
@@janewallace5228 writer of the book has said they have big plans for this show, if they can continue it. Not sure what "big plans" mean since everyone already knows what's going to happen because of the books
So big plans might also could mean, that they're going to change some stuff but that's just how I see it.
"what do you mean my actions have consequencies?" I'M DEAD
Literally made me laugh OUT LOUD.
he tried to manipulate her but ended up catching feelings instead
this yall’s villain ? 😭
For real people don’t realize she had much more power over him than he had over her he literally couldn’t live without her by his side from the moment he met her
not me quietly praying that this ends differently to the books.
I'm with you
me too bestie 😭
the books had me so mad
I'm praying here as well
same tbh lol
"Nervously cleans fountain because pretty girl" 😂
Legit a teenage boy nervous about a pretty girl in his room
we, the viciously tricked fandom: he is such a softie for her uwu
him, under that puppy eyes of his: powerpowerpowerpower
Power power power 😂😂
Lmao yeah
It's giving Klaus Mikaelson and his obsession with his hybrids tbh. Must explain why i love him so much bc Klaus was my favorite tvdu character
@@blurrylinesx8039 yeah, but at least Klaus had some redemption, I hope we can see the darkling redeem himself, he has SO MUCH potential to be such a grey and interesting character with more of a failed twisted hero more than a plain totally black villain
@@scarletletter2900 totally, but Klaus was pretty evil during seasons 3 and 4 of tvd, backstabbing even his own family for power at times, so there's still time for the darkling. And i completely agree! I love the show but it takes good x evil too literally, I'd love to see the characters becoming more morally grey
This is what you get when the actor respects and cherishes the role in which he was given.
If only he wasn’t obsessed with power and made her his equal.
He's trying to protexxcxxx the grishas but ended up the darkling 😭
I think he wouldn't have put the collar in Alina if Alina hadn't escaped
@@Kamila-eb9pz Doesn't matter, he shouldn't have done that regardless of Alina escaping or not escaping. What he did was f'ed up
I believe Mal is her true equal. Have not read the books though.
@@mariabella19 Mal is nice but we book readers tend to go for the twisted ones lmaooo
dude i had to wait three books to know his name and he gave it away in the 4th episode. smh
I think they wanted it to be more realistic and make non book readers less sus of him lol
that annoyed me way more than it should have ughghghgh
LMAOO i was surprised too 😭
Ikr..the name was considered so sacred in the books they just gave it away so easily.
he is always crying in this show he’s so dumb and in love. i love him
Me manifesting a redemption arc
Maybe if we mass manifest it, along with Ben pushing for it, we can get one 😭
Me too!
He is a dumb boi and I love him
"his voice is soft af how embarrassing for him" THIS IS TOO MUCH IM LAUGHING
WHY IS NO ONE MENTIONING TGAT WHEN SHES PUTTING ON A MIRACULOUS DISPLAY OF HER POWER, EVERYONE IN THE ROOM IS LOOKING AT HER LIGHT- EXCEPT FOR HIM. HE DOESNT LOOK AWAY FROM HER ONCE.
IM WHEEZING THERE ARE TOO MANY GOOD PARTS TO THIS "lil intense, buddy" "you mean a lot... to eVerYOne" KAZ IS DONE and omg 5:00 this is one of my favourite moments in this series "by yourself" skdjf rip aleksander same bud. 6:15 IM WHEEZING ALINA ISNT EVEN THERE 6:23 THIS MAN IS HANGING BY A THREAD AND SO AM I 6:39 KDJFJD
this man is just an entire mess of emotions, someone hold his hand PLEASE
@@stvrmhondss5932 the scene when Alina still even isn't there because she ran away, he was with Zoya and said "i KnOw ExAcTlY wHaT sHe fElT" and then looked tired and sick af

ITS THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER. When he's in awe, nearing tears, smiling bc she amuses him, when he wants her 😏, when he's proud of her. All of his expressions look so romantic.
5:54 *Alina is not in his room when he returns*
The Darkling: *gotta check the bedroom* 😂😂
Like he thought his baby might be waiting there lmaooo
I'm a bitchass who never read the books, and started shipping them from like the 2nd episode. And I'm the type of person who can't jump ships. I ship to the freaking end. So, I'm gonna suffer.
Respect. I'll never stop shipping Darklina either 🤚😂
Same. As soon as I saw them in the same room I was like "Oh no, I ship this so hard..."
Same
Even though he *SPOILER* was gonna use her for her powers I refuse to believe his mother who thinks that all of is just an act
Eyes don’t lie.
@katervids technically.... *spoiler*
She _wanted_ to visit the Darkling through their special connection etc. in Ruin and Rising and she did yk
@katervids o sorry my bad
His mother is the biggest bitch in the series she is the one who raised it that way and completely gives a fake portrait of him in order to get what she wants Alina to do
EVERYONE noticed *The shadow* give the director an award
Netflix should hire you as sound director so you can put Wii music into every scene where Darklina interacts. It fits to a tee 🤭
they definitely knew what they was doing with the chemistry 🥺😭
Kaz: *Am I that ridiculous with Inej ?*
Seriously the Darkling is such a simp it’s hilarious.
Kaz: Haha Kirrigan is such a sucker in love.
Also Kaz to Inej: You're so special like one in a million I would give up my life savings and assets to help you find freedom
Yes, Kaz, you are. 🤣
I love how the book was like "ah yeah the darkling manipulated alina into liking him, so evil", but the show adaptation is like "this man is so hoplessly in LOVE with alina" - the dude is the freaking Black Heretic, creator of the whole dang Fold and general of the second army, but as soon as this clueless sun summoner shows up and he turns into a lovesick mess-
THIS NEEDS TO BE PUT UP IN A MUSEUM sorry i dont make the rules
Okay okay OKAY I need them to just change the ending.
From the beginning, every scene he appeared in, I was drooling over him, constantly talking to computer "well you're probably so bad, but I love you anyway" and continued drooling
I mean just look at him 🙌🏻
imagine being this all powerful man and then just turning into the biggest simp over a girl like same but its so funny i need a video like this for alina tho
He loved her. I don’t care what anyone says. In his own, twisted way, he loved her.
If they wanted us to hate him they should’ve left him asking for consent out of it. Like I’m sorry but that sealed my love for him 😂
That line was also improvised by Ben. It wasn't in the script. Same with the returning to kiss her one last time. He just gave us everything we could have wanted.
@@AnxietyRat Ben subtly spreading his Darklina propaganda gives me so much life 😩
@@AnxietyRat Oh, but i thought jessi mei li explained that the consent part came from the director, i might be wrong.
@@salehac7 I've also heard that as well... But Ben said he really pushed for it to happen in a interview. So maybe there was discussions he was a part of early on or something. Idk. Either way Ben is super pleased that even the villain asked for consent. 👍
@@salehac7 I read somewhere online that in intimate film scenes, everything has to be worked out & agreed to beforehand, especially since the "Me, Too" movement. So Ben suggested *both* additions to the scene, and everyone agreed beforehand. So Ben deserves kudos for those changes!
If these two don't end up together on the show😭😭
Who's gonna tell em'?
I hope the writer would make some twist and turn to find their way back to each other 😭
He's lost his humanity. I truly don't think there's any hope for him
@@janeb.4897 I thought the same about Darth Vader and he turned good so did Ben Solo
@@janeb.4897 Leigh left the ending open enough imo
The chemistry between Darklina 🔥🔥🔥 IDK but Mal always felt like a brother
That's exactly what I'm saying
They need to give my man some kind of redemption arc. Don’t know how but they have to make it happen fr😩🤲🏾
Jessie wants dark Alina and Ben wants redemption sooooo I’m manifesting a dark Alina arc and then a redemption arc for both of them 🥲 a girl can dream
Yeees
It seems like we are missing how nervous Aleksander is when he tells Alina his name. Like, CAN YOU NOT SEE IT?! He is SO NERVOUS! It's honestly priceless.
How could you not include his face, when the Conductor tells him he was sent to kill Alina?!
OMG this one!! Yes. He was so angry, he wanted to break that man in half for even thinking about hurting her
Yeeees!
Is it just me or they literally show more love with these two than Mal and Alina?
So true and mal and alina show more feelings towards eachother in the show than in the books where Mal is indifferent to her....
Literally all the scenes where Mal and Alina are nice to each other are during their childhood until the last three episodes. There's not much material there for shipping, they're in love with their childhood versions of one another.
@@assholebyginger Also, the point of growing up is to evolve beyond who you are as a child and become your own person, free of the perception of those who raised you and grew with you. Ending up with a childhood friend, especially one that can’t seem to break away from how you used to be, is like the best way to never even know who you are and always making decisions to please them. It just doesn’t sit right with me, I find it sketchy and overall bizarre
@@happyjellycatsquid In the show, they did a lot of flashbacks to show how they care for one another, but in their actual scenes together it seemed really quiet, like a friendship slowly turning into more or a puppy love. So, for the moment we didn't see a lot, because they're making it a Slow Burn, we will probably see more chemestry in season 2. They do love each other (in the books, Alina is obsessed and Mal doesn't really have any character trait beside that and being become a blade), but it does seem a lot like a comfort zone, a nostalgic memory of the past, not something centered on the futur. It's not evolving the same way Alina is evolving and it didn't allow her growth or Mal's growth either for that matter. If they want to make it work on the show, they have to aknowledge that or Mal and Alina would just seem like they hold each other back (which it seems like in the books)
@@alexandraheraudet9395 Well I’m aware that they like each other, I just really don’t get why ahaha ! In the books, from what I could piece together as I can’t get my hands on them yet, is that they both have the personality of wet sponges, which isn’t great. That why I like the Darkling so much, he very much overdelivers by comparison 😂
Ben plays the role so well, he gives so much depth to his character 👏👏👏
"Ok she may be close but you have a REPUTATION"
"She's closer than anticipated- HELP"
I died laughing 😂
the directors really tried to make us hate show darkling and we just love him more my god he loves her so much
Maybe I’m stupid but I hate his mother for telling her the truth like that
Like they were so perf
Same ughhhh I shipped
I was like: « couldn’t have you wait him to tell her things himself because he is such a simp that he would have after 5 days »
i literally can’t understand alina she not even once tried to face him and ask him directly and so easily believed baghra just like she said’do u need someone to say you something to make you believe it’ ..
@@jashandeepkaur8203 I think to her it made sense but I would have liked it better if she went to him first. If someone writes a book we’re they are together i would totally buy it cause his stupid mother ruined it and I will forever be mad
@@Gabby_beyer45 same i really hate the author here why tf she even write such a character at first place if she has to break our heart in the end . she wrote so much passionate romance between aleksander and alina and then expect us to like mal and alina .i’m sorry i can’t i just can’t see darkling as a villain. he sure has done bad things, manipulated alina but he isn’t that evil. He ‘s a lost man who deserves a happy ending
dudeeee when i started the show i was NOT ready for the intense chemistry between alina and darkling
My man didn't have to go this hard for Alina but he did and that's why he is the only one I ship her with.
Ben’s acting was incredible.
"Pwease rule the world with me" that one killed me, I'm literally in tears 😂😂
AH YES MY “evil guy wizard crying over sunshine girl wizard” KIND OF SHIP
The way I'm rooting for darklina is beyond me ... I blame Ben Barnes
I blame him too
Came here after crying ugly binge watching the finale 😭😭😭😭
5:03 WAIT I NEVER NOTICED THE SHADOWS THATS SO CUTE
he really tried to make Alina fall for him so he could control her but he was the one to catch feelings, oh how the tables have turned 💀
if they ruined it and ended the show like books i’m gonna burn netflix down, tf he deserves a happy ending
i swear the darkling is on the verge of tears in eVERY scene and i love that for him
I like that they gave the darkling more humanity in the show. He cared about the grisha in both the books and the show, but he was even manipulating and unforgiving in the books. The way he treats Alina in the show compared to the books is a little different too
At 5:33 when Alina gives him those eyes😍 Omg these two are just perfect😍😍
The 4 dislikes: Mal, Aleksander, Zoya and Baghra
This video is perfection! And the way Ben Barnes is acting is marvelous. He speaks ... with his eyes ... a lot! Im just mindblown. Every look he takes at her is just oozing admiration, awe and an „she is perfect, she shall be my queen“ type of vibe. To me he is impossible to hate knowing his past. He reminds me a lot of Anakin from Star Wars for that specific reason. I really hope he can get a happy end and redeem himself.
My words exactly. :-)
Big scary softie baby🥺
"what you mean my actions have consecuences?" hes too adorable for his evil world
Ben Barnes could kiss a freaking tree and still make it sexy as hell. damn the talent.. and he dragged Jessie right with him, she is literally hanging at him, the chemistry! the intensity he put in the character, you can feel it down in your veins.
please, saints, make them change the story.. we need Darklina endgame.
Also that scene when they're kissing and he stops to ask her if she is sure!!!!
We stan a respectful, consent-asking man (at least in this regard)
honestly, came here just to rewind Ben Barnes saying my name for the 100th time...
...and now CANT STOP GIGGLING THESE EDITS ARE PURE GOLD
Love the way their shadows played in the background while they were inside Aleksander's room! Amazing
Its nice that ben barnes at least tries to understand the darkling even though he did terrible things. To me thats a sign of a good actor, being able to play the villan with the understanding of the person. You know where all humans and the evil inside us always has a story. They say the best villans have the best backstory and if an actor can understand that AND act like it thats the best thing
It was such a shame how it all turned out, she even told him, "This could have all been yours, if you wanted me as a partner, not a slave."
Kaz's face just being like "WTF is WRONG with you?!?!??" :'D
I swear their scenes are so *intense* THERESS SO MUCH TENSIONNNN AKSKKSKSKSKSKKSKAKS I CANT HANDLEEE THEM
they gave him so much empathy in the show u g h which made me root for him more, in the books he was just really toxic and greedy :(
I know Alina and Mal will end up together but I still wish for the Darkling to have some redemption at the end, he actually cared and got to fall in love with her, he wasn’t THAT bad (at least in the series as far as I know), I mean he is, as Alina said “instead of making her his equal he made her his prisoner” which doesn’t give him many points, yes, he never wanted to destroy the fold, but actually his reasons were pretty reasonable, he does care for the grishas in his own twisted way. At the end of the S1 he turns even more crazy but that’s also bc he’s a victim of his circumstances, There’s this quote that says lYou Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villainl, and he lived for centuries till a breaking point where he saw a woman he loved being killed in cold blood for what they were, so he decided to use the merzost which only resulted to be more of his doomed that his salvation, his not really bad, he is just helpless, at this point the merzost has really affected on him and he has no salvation but at least I hope to see him redeemed and it would be nice to see him question his own sanity and actions (as we could see a little of him questioning himself when Alina reproached him).
exactly and i don’t understand why people can’t see it that he does destroy that city by expanding the fold but that was. to save alina . they were gonna kill her and rest of them the moment they gonna land at harbour. please he’s not that evil .
@@jashandeepkaur8203 i was glad that netflix added the west ravka revolution subplot because in the books, the darkling destroyed novokribirsk just to show his powers. The series version is a necessary evil.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@cauliflower9967 but here in show he didn’t destroy it just to show his powers it was to kill that general , save alina i can’t say the destruction is purely evil
@@jashandeepkaur8203 yes exactly that's what i was saying.
Okay but why does he look like he is about to cry in most of the scenes
Because even though he is trying to expand the fold he is also probably realizing how hard it is. Also he as a million other things he is also worrying about and Alina gave him light literally and metaphorically. He became different around her even in the books. He was human with her and he hated it so much but loved it at the same time
Him living hundreds of years with particularly no hope of exacting his plans, only for him to find Alina who was exactly everything he needed that it was almost unreal, and also add to that him being torn because he starts to have real feelings for her which probably is the first real feelings he had since his first love.
He has fallen in love again after hundreds of years of being alone.
tbh i would run through the fold in sparkles if someone said he was on the other side
