that actor played that character to perfection, i actually wish they let elias survive to the very end, even if it meant him being a leader of the criminal underworld
Although Elias was part of the criminal underworld he was a very respectful, intellegent individual who was loyal to those that were respectful in return. The fact that Harold on John were trying to save lives wasn't overlooked by Elias, he just saw that they were doing it in a criminal manner. He never judged them for it. I think he actually found it amusing. At the end there I think Harold found him to be a friend. John was as well. Even elias told Harold he couldn't afford to lose another friend.
There was a lot of mutual respect. Elias never killed anyone unless necessary and Finch always did the right thing. And even tho Carter was always after Elias, he respected her for her honesty and will.
Damn. Elias and Anthony (Scarface) were amazing characters in this series. I was sad when they died. Anthony devoted to his childhood friend/brother, and Elias getting revenge for his death. This show was damn near perfect!
It shows that even though Elias was a bad guy in the eyes of Det. Carter he really did like her and had respect for her. Maybe even made him think that in a different life he could've been a good guy. Simmons took that away from him.
@@darrenheadrick3669 He is like the combo of Penguin , The Riddler , Two Face and Falcone for Johns Batman, though I think Harold has a shade of Riddler
Elias was the best speaker. Every word was calculated and his loyalty was stronger than triple layer steel. He had 3 friends. Each death of one broke a layer. He only had Harold. He was done.
Person of interest is one of my favorite shows. The reveal that the humble school teacher was actually the criminal mastermind Elias was great. The show kind of went off the rails in the last few seasons with the AI war but overall I still love the show.
Dominion left the show and took over the USA elections. It was so successful (in its absolute non violent destruction) that China HAD to buy it. That machine made by high school students That was plagerized from the same machine models that intelligent people have made before. Dominion in this show WAS made by a genius. Harold and his partner got theirs to the government first. The Dominion creator should have released it over the internet just like the Untrained Machine wanted to do. If it was trained, it would have been the best thing for the world. As it is, Google is The Big Brother and is constantly spying on everyone through devices and CRT cameras all around us. At least the CRT cameras can be reached by ANYONE and the scammers in India have a few that they are too stupid to realize. They may know but they have not shut them off. They should buy the anti-virus software they scam us to buy. Webcams are fairly easy to hack
good villains are hard to come by, that's why we appreciate those that we are presented even more, if you can relate, empathize with them it makes the story soo much better
Well, in real life those "good villains" usually end up being separatist or terrorists. (Viewpoint thing...) But yes, we don't see this in movies or series too often.
Enrico is just an awesome actor! Though he was in only 23 episodes he got all the best lines. Especially the scene where he has Simmons taken care of. Chilling.
a good man! he was essentially the original mob (before they lost their way): enforcing the law where the police didn't dare to go, making a business out of it to grow and protect more of the neighborhood and eventually the city. He had a true honor, intellect and strength of character that we could all envy!
One of the reasons I wasn't a fan of the Brotherhood storyline since they tried to make Dominic the next Elias but Dom always seemed like he had just read a profound book of wisdom but never truly understood versus Elias who had a firm grasp on the material and improved upon it.
5:28 When taking Peter's gun, Anthony says " Those look heavy ". Peter is holding a M1911, infamous for being heavy and having a heavy trigger pull. The details in the show is just....
yeah that scene was awesome, i like when he mentions about elias killing his father and they cut right to scarface and the line of him saying "a gift" just an overall great scene along with having elias giving cooking tips
Elias was simply awesome. A man of old school.honpur. An anti-hero of the highest order. Sheer genius. I was so gutted when he died. Anthony too. Child abuse is so fucking obscene.
I always wondered that if Elias was with Harold longer and they became close like brothers how much chaos and anger Harold would have unleased with his knowledge when Elias was killed.
Elias was like James Bond; survived because his enemies made the mistake of not putting a bullet in his head at the first opportunity. You may respect a worthy adversary, all the more reason to kill them when you can.
Was it weird that I cheered for Elias. I mean yes he was antagonist and allegedly bad guy but he was smart compassionate in a way to his people. Respected Reese
Elias is one of the best kind of characters: the ultimate Antihero. I say that because he's not a true villain of the show. If he was, he wouldn't have been seen as the helping hand for John and Harold in some desperate times, providing valuable information and protecting John as well as avenging Carter. Elias may have been a criminal, but he was never the true antagonist of the show.
Carl Elias was evil but he was the lesser evil we deserve. Oh, and did no one realise that " Mini " Dominic played the role of M'Baku in Black Panther.

I shed a tear when Elias died....main reason why I watched..He was a great character.
He's back in space now.
I wish they added him even more
When the viewers are sad at the mafia boss' death, you know he was a well written character.
As did I and when Anthony died.
that actor played that character to perfection, i actually wish they let elias survive to the very end, even if it meant him being a leader of the criminal underworld
One of the best villains ever written and played
The casting in this series is near genius. And the directing.
Elias avenging Carter was poetic!

I was watching random videos of *_Raymond Reddington_* and it brought me here.
How appropriate.

4, but he knew John could handle himself
This character was written very well, and even the dialogue was the best. It makes you watch again, and, again.
Elias a bad guy who you wanted in your corner. A man of honor.

The last few seasons with the AI war were my favorite part.
they did the same thing with Dominic as well and we still didnt see it coming!
The show became one of the best in last seasons
@@sankara57 this show was always exceptional with plot twists

oh i love that part when he has scarface kill simons
He is like Andrew Robinson who played Garak in Star Trek DS9.
Only in 39 episodes but stole every scene he was in.
you got to love Elias! you never know whether Elias will be a help or hinderance
The quiet menace of both the Elias and Dominic characters is imposing, well executed and acted.
oh he deserve more than one award, POI, Travelers and quite a few other projects !
I wouldn't have complained if we got an Elias spinoff...maybe his origin story or his time before he met Harold and John...
oh that would be cool to see on how he became a criminal mastermind
This is amazing!! My favorite character from my favorite series. Elias is such a fantastic character.
Couldn’t agree more, it always gave me a jolt when he’d appear
@@HotRoute7 same.
yeah he is my favourite character in poi too
God, I loved that show! Great story line, Great acting, Good people! Couldn't get enough of it. Guess I'll buy the series..........
He was definitely one of my favorite characters on Person of Interest. Excellent video, keep up the good work

Far as I am concerned, Elias is the king of those streets, stay ahead of ya enemies

@@ethrsag735 exactly, it was like they was trying to force the brotherhood instead of letting them evolve like Elias, Elias was a boss veni vidi vici
King Elias, his reign was short but very memorable and meaningful.
You get a feeling of how feared and powerful Elias is when he stops a big prison beat down with just a whistle
5:28 When taking Peter's gun, Anthony says " Those look heavy ". Peter is holding a M1911, infamous for being heavy and having a heavy trigger pull. The details in the show is just....
loved him in Flashpoint and loved him in Person of interest
His role in the Travelers show was also really good
The chiose of the actors, the evolution of the caracters. Wonderful
He was one of my favorite characters in the show.
Ramin Djawadi's music selection is so fucking epic man. Nina simone in that car scene is an exquisite selection
My favorite part of the cooking scene, was where elias just casually advises peters chef on how to cook the meal.
yeah that scene was awesome, i like when he mentions about elias killing his father and they cut right to scarface and the line of him saying "a gift" just an overall great scene along with having elias giving cooking tips
Criminally underrated.
a great Villain/Friend in a great TV-Show.
Invictus maneo! One of my favorites characters for sure.
Loved the portrayal of Elias in this show.
Yes i agree with you best show ever!!!!!!!!
Good sir, you have created such a tribute, such a hinting at Elias' Character. As a fan of POI, mad respect. You did Elias proud.
Elias was simply awesome.
A man of old school.honpur.
An anti-hero of the highest order.
Sheer genius.
I was so gutted when he died.
Anthony too.
Child abuse is so fucking obscene.
Most satisfying moment is when Elias went on full vendetta mode on HR for Carter's death
I love Elias...he's one of the best characters ever written...then why aren't you smiling
this tv show is the best now we ned more i ned more
His intro episode is special, that song Sinnerman fits perfect.
Veni Vidi Vici ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 huge shoutout to Anthony the man in the shadows
Fantastic show, fantastic character
Only 2 minutes in, already awesome. Keep it up!!!
Thanks!
🥰best actor on the show🥰it started going downhill fast after his death
My favorite character in this series.
Oh Sinner man where you gonna run to?
Him and raymond redington are at the same level...
nicely put together. My compliments
You're an "oath breaker"
did they get that from Game of thrones?
@@captainpinky8307 considering GOT came after
@@captainpinky8307 also, police are to uphold an “oath” to protect and serve, hence why the corrupt cop was an oath breaker
Well done creating this 😲👍
Elias was right, Harold was the darkest of them all.
Ya know after Carter.... Elias's was sort of bad ass with how he handled it haha
She was civilized to the very end…
Oh my elias, my man..
Enrico's greatest character. The role he was born for. Told it like it was.
Really enjoyed this mate - well done!
bring it back!!!!!!!!!
Great job DJ Motions.....you done good
Carl Elias Is A Really Intelligent And Cool Character
The Incarnation of Evil
I mean is he evil though? Really?
@@LordSStorm He was the best good bad guy.
Favorite character of my favorite show
He was a master chess player and also how he took out Dominique
I just watched this episode yesterday.
Great show
Carl Elias and Anthony
Raymond Reddington and Dembe
The best characters ever wrote
Hard to believe he first started as a photographer on the sitcom “just shoot me now” with David spade who 20 years later remained David spade
Great compilation!
Anthony was very loyal to Elias. I Respect that
He had such true power
A great Compilation !! Keep up the good work. A video edit, fitting a great TV series and an even greater Character.
Nina Simone Sinnerman intensifies. Such a great character. I must have seen the show 5 times now. Time for number 6.
10:10 John is impressed
10:39 Elias understands Dominic well and understands that pain
11:53 That flicker of a smile on Harold
Love this
I never realized until just now that Hector was the father of Elias.
Guess family isn't all, lol
I always wondered that if Elias was with Harold longer and they became close like brothers how much chaos and anger Harold would have unleased with his knowledge when Elias was killed.

This reminds me i need to watch POI again been to long.
I love Enrico Colantoni in everything he is in.
They should’ve made a season for Elias
The utterly brilliant Enrico Colantoni ..one of the truly great tv villains ...
Veni Vidi Vici
I was in a nightclub and carved into a marble fireplace was Vidi Vici Veni.
Hahaha hah
probably the best all time villain in a show eithe him or rumple from once upon a time
That day did come. Finch darkness came out
Elias was a good bad guy and that’s why the team respected him because he avoided casualties outside of the people he targeted
“I came, I saw, I won”
Was it weird that I cheered for Elias. I mean yes he was antagonist and allegedly bad guy but he was smart compassionate in a way to his people. Respected Reese

They did him dirty
Elias... The Real Tony Montana
You know, I don't think I want to hang out with any of these people.
"What a funny old world."
Carl Elias was evil but he was the lesser evil we deserve.
Oh, and did no one realise that " Mini " Dominic played the role of M'Baku in Black Panther.
Hello John!
A crime boss who respects good cops?! Sign me up.
I've always wanted to know more about Anthony.
He is no villian, he's just something... mmm older!
Would been a great edit if there was a better bgm
Scar face was a soldier
Even the CIA guy knew his influence
YO Elias’ father was Hector Salamanca?!
What?!
