Ben Barnes killed it as the darkling so here is a little tribute. I claim nothing but the editing. If you want to support me paypal.me/akwe... #thedarkling#shadowandbone#benbarnes
But even with the character arc and portrayal of the darkling its pretty clear they don't want us to hate him. For example the sympathetic back story in the show
Not the hero so much as the most interesting character 🤔 like I'm not a fan of a lot of stuff he did but despite that I ended up somehow rooting for him in the end and really enjoying his parts of the book in comparison to other characters. Evn tho he is the villain he is clearly one of the most thought out and deeply fleshed characters in the story
@@stuffedpotato9826oh he's definitely an interesting character and I really don't understand why people think he is the villain, I mean he did everything so he could protect his people and that's what any leader or a king does.
He has experienced so much despair and loss of his own kind. He has lived that long to get what he think he and his kind deserve. He wants vengeance. He wants to bring every Grisha peace. He is not villain.
He is the only villain that I want to be alive until the end. He is the only villain that I will always understand why he act the way he do. I have not read the book as I don't want to know until when he will be part of story. I will watch the series again this weekend!!!! 😘😘😘😘
Ben would be perfect for Dracula. I recently read d book and was just imagining him as Dracula. Damn he would be so perfect for that role❤️❤️. I literally want this
The air was ashy, breathing was becoming inexorably difficult. My lungs were filling with dirt and the noises all around me sounded muffed from the explosions. My sight was becoming blurred and everything looked incredibly slow as if I were looking through a window at someone else’s life. I looked around me: the Crows were holding themselves together, Inej standing in front of Kaz, her eyes wide with surprise and fear. Kaz was on his back, I couldn’t tell if he was injured from here. Jesper was kneeling next to him trying to say something in his ear but he didn’t seem to be paying attention. All his focus seemed to be on the scene before him: Aleksander was in a cloud of night trying to fight off the king’s army on one side and rogue soldiers from Fjerda on the other. He was on his knees, a streak of pain colouring his face, blood rippling from his torso, ruining his uniform and painting the dirt on the ground. My hearing was starting to come back slowly, I turned to my right were few meters away was his majesty’s army. The General was shouting at me, it took a few seconds to register what he was saying - kill him! - his voice scary as he growled at me like a mad dog. I looked into his eyes and I saw it: just pure hate, for who I was, for my abilities. Hate for something I didn’t choose, hate because I was different from them, more powerful. I never given them any reason to be afraid of me, till a few months ago I didn’t even know what I was. But none of it seemed to matter, they still hated me just like they hated Aleksander and I hadn’t even striked back at them. In my mind came back the memories of Aleksander’s past, not the story they taught in their books about the Black Heretic but what had really happened. - I didn’t know what to do… I was just a boy back then trying to learn to control my power - his gaze was fixed on a distant point in the room but I knew he was actually lost in thought - Me and my mother spent months at a time running and hiding, until one day the guards captured us. I was threatened that they would kill my mother if I didn’t do what the king asked, he wanted me to fight for him. He wanted me to round up others like me and win a war for him and we did. You know how history says that I became greedy and insatiable with power? Do you know what had actually happened? The same night we won all my people were sleeping in the barracks and he sent soldiers for a coup: they killed everyone inside. I wasn’t there, I went to break my mother free of the dungeons but I heard it: high pitched screams like the crackling of fire. By the time we had come out the barracks were burning to ash. I spent the next twenty years running away and hiding my people - I looked at him, he seemed suddenly so young and so old at the same time. The weight of his words and the memories were showing on his face giving away a truer idea of his real age. But his eyes when he looked at me… he seemed what I would have imagined a frightened ten-year-old Aleksander to look like. A confused child whose life had been stolen from him, a child who was victim of circumstances he didn’t choose. I remembered when he brought me to the fountain saying how he had always made a wish that he could be anyone else, he hadn’t lied about that. Mal shook me out of my thoughts, I turned to him. He was covered in dirt and was pointing his finger towards were I knew Aleksander was struggling. I turned my gaze and saw him fighting to not fall on the ground. One hand was keeping his weight from collapsing, the other was erecting a wall of shadow trying to keep off spears and bullets. As if he felt my eyes on him he turned his head and looked at me and I saw it all over again: a scared boy, confused as to why he had been hunted down his entire life just for being different. I looked over the army again and I rose to my feet. Mal tried to grab my arm but I shook him off - Alina, what are you - I didn’t give him time to finish - I am going to help him - Mal’s gaze looked as confused as if I were speaking some ancient language he could not understand. - What do you think will happen once I help them kill him? What do you think they will do to me? - I pointed a finger at the army with rage. - I am the same thing as he is to them: a threat, an annoyance, a bug on their shoulder jeopardizing their power. The only reason I am still breathing right now is because they think they need me to kill Aleksander. As soon as he drops to the ground they will turn against me as quickly as they once considered me an ally. I will need to spend the rest of my existence running and hiding, fighting for my life. Fighting to not be killed or captured and sold off. And Mal, eternity is a very long time to be afraid - I didn’t wait for his reply, I didn’t even look back at him. I didn’t want to look or I might have changed my mind. I started running towards Aleksander. (Would anyone read it if I wrote an AU ending for Shadow and Bone?)
God.. it's impossible not to fall in love with the darkling especially when it's played by Ben Barnes.. how I wish they casted him as dimitri belikov from vampire academy too..
Saaaaame!!! I remember him in Narnia: Prince Caspian but back then I didn’t really have any crushes on celebrities or fictional characters... But now, after watching this on Netflix, Ben Barnes / THIS version of The Darkling - I finally do! 😂👏🙌
"Dorian Gray" was the first movie I saw Ben Barnes in and I liked him immensely. I haven't read the S&B so I watched this series only and exclusively for him and he was good - as always - but... I'm still waiting for someone to give him the main role in some good historical series or book adaptation - ah, if he was Darcy, he would be my favorite Darcy ;D I know, he's great as a villain, but I dream of seeing him as a romantic hero in some looong TV series;)
Oooo! That low audio pitch you did to Ciara’s voice... 😳 gave me CHILLS!!!! 🤯 Great job!!!👏👏👏😍 How & where do you get the footage to put in the video???
Idk why I got recommended this, idk anything about shadow and bone, but I can’t take this song seriously bc of the memes😂 glad y’all are having fun though
Ah yes I remember those memes, the most retarded thing ever done on tiktok.. and I emphasize retarded, can't believe I found the one person who enjoyed them O.o.
Omg thank you so much for 100k! 🙌😭 The power of the Darkling and Ben Barnes 😍
If they wanted us to hate the darkling they shouldn’t have cast him as Ben Barnes, it’s impossible to hate that man.
Exactly ✌️
But even with the character arc and portrayal of the darkling its pretty clear they don't want us to hate him. For example the sympathetic back story in the show
That is so true 🥰🥰🥰
So true I’m shipping darkling and alina soooo bad it’s not possible for me to hate him🥺
Is darkling that bad in the book ?
I love him, it is impossible hate this villain
Very true :)
Mainly because it's Ben Barnes that plays him.
I agree!
Ben Barnes is great for the part but I couldn't bring myself to hate him even in the books.
Yesss, it's imposible 🥰😍
Ben Barnes delivered such an amazing and deep darkling really im shipping darklina so hard >>
Same ☺️
Ikr!! I can't tell my friends how hard I am shipping darklina because they haven't seen the show yet :((

The one with many names. The Darkling, Dorian Grey or Ben Barnes, but we all know him as Prince Caspian
Don't forget Billy russo
Sirius black 🌚
@@src_TV_4655 Only in fan made movies saddly☹️
According to me he isn't the villain, he is the HERO of this series
The seriously MISGUIDED hero 😉😜

@@miruthulak632 i think you either die as a hero or live long enough to be a villain and he is definitely living the definition of that quote.
He has experienced so much despair and loss of his own kind. He has lived that long to get what he think he and his kind deserve. He wants vengeance. He wants to bring every Grisha peace. He is not villain.
Ben is outstanding as darkling. I love the show so much.
He is the only villain that I want to be alive until the end. He is the only villain that I will always understand why he act the way he do. I have not read the book as I don't want to know until when he will be part of story.
I will watch the series again this weekend!!!! 😘😘😘😘
I read the book first TvT darklina is rare but his mom ruins it
lmao this song hoarded all the villains HAHAHAHAH literally wanda, hela, the witch hunter's queen and now the darkling! love it!

Ben would be perfect for Dracula. I recently read d book and was just imagining him as Dracula. Damn he would be so perfect for that role❤️❤️. I literally want this

Yeah I agree, I want that too :)
I connect to him at a spiritual level... like fine make me your villain...
HES SO PERFECT I WANNA CRY 😭😭😭
We need more stories with charismatic villians as main characters with baddie endings 😉 It does not have to reflect real life morals
I totally agree!
Just once. I want a show to let the villain turn around and become the hero!! Let him get the girl too!
Yes! Totally agree
What?? Show is this from??? I am in love and must watch immediately.
