Still his emotions never clouded his judgement like clary. Ya he fell in love and started to want things for himself but like clary and jace, his actions didn't end up with bad consequences for people around him. He took responsibility even when he didn't need to and people who didn't deserve it. If Alec needs to be described in one word it would be self-sacrificing. I can't say that for anyone in that bunch except Magnus although I would describe him as compassionate if I need one word for him.
Kate Barton I agree and tbh I did not like clary at all until sometime into the 2nd book. She was always too selfish and whiny to me and didn’t care about consequences just did what she wanted.
alecs acting and behaving is one of the most real in the show. i mean its not really normal to trust a stranger girl… alec character is just how the most of us would react to the Things that happened.
I would feel the same though! some girl you don’t even know that wants to go on all these crazy missions that could end up killing everyone. he’s the only one who actually sits there and thinks before he acts.
Alec might seem like the overprotective and uptight one but he's also the only one that actually acts like a rational Shadowhunter. And the thing that annoys me the most is that it's not like Alec doesn't know how to chill, his friend's incapability to protect themselves is what gets him concerned every time and every time he has to save their asses. He falls in love with Magnus who's every part as whimsical as Alec's friends, but who is also actually strong enough to protect himself and has an actual sense of self-preservation; this goes to show he was forced into the position of being the mature one since no one else was.
I also feel like Alec keeps on trying to protect everyone, whether from demons or the Clave, yet the only one that always returns the favor is Magnus. Clary, Jace and Izzy have no problems with doing what they want and never thinking about the heat Alec will get. He thinks of everyone, except himself and the others all just care about themselves and who ever they are sleeping with.
Alec is the only person who thinks in the show. I mean, sometimes he can be a little overprotective but he's right almost always. The others tell him to shut up and do what they want, but then, when they're in problems, Alec always saves them.
2:58. Alec going to town dogging Clary and 3.06. when Clary chimes in but not without Alec giving her some exhausted side-eye lol. I keep replaying this part and laughing my butt off.
well, Alec is pretty much the only main character shadowhunter (aside from Lydia tho she isn't main) who actually has common sense and rational way of thinking. xD honestly, all others just jump into stuff without even thinking, no wonder the poor boy is pissed. xD
Fr Jace was an idiot for trusting her (even if she turned out to be harmless) Izzy sided with them and Alec was left all alone trying to fix their mess Simon thought they could leave and wouldn't get killed or hunted by demons Clary was just an illogical idiot all around Magnus is pretty logical tho and Lydia too
r o i s i n b y l Yeah through out all of season 1 and some of season 2 I was saying how they always talk about Clary and Jace and their like the main couple when Alec and Magnus are so much cuter and you can tell they have so much more chemistry
It would make me so happy of he actually said that. Alec and Magnus are the only reason I watch the show, maybe Izzy as well but everyone else is really annoying, especially Clary.
i just realized that alec is like a cat, he hates everyone except his owner (magnus), hisses at everything and just leave as soon as people are around him
To be fair he has a point. Clary is really annoying sometimes and Jace was being a stupid love sick puppy the whole time, not using logic or common sense.
The fact that Alec didn’t just quit and move to Fiji the second he met Magnus is a miracle. The dude has to deal with lovestruck kids and being the only logical person in the entire goddamned series.
I loved Alec every second he was on screen. He's disciplined, level-headed, and strong willed, but not without empathy or compassion. He keeps an open-mind and adapts and evolves as he learns. He addresses his mistakes and expresses himself without shame, and when it comes to those he loves, no one can come close to comparing to his courage when he fights for them. . Him and Magnus were my favorite characters in the series, the fact they're a couple sent me over the moon lol. I've heard things about the books that make me quite apprehensive about reading them, but I think I can push through if it means I get more of the two; individually *and* together.
Love this comment and totally agree with you. I haven’t read the books because honestly I’m so in love with Alec and his character arc in the tv series... probably one of my favorite characters ever ❤️
I read the books after watching the series .And honestly I was a bit disappointed because there is not enough Malec in the books .We don't get to see any of their relationship milestones .We don't see much of character growth .Clary and Jace are even more unbearable in the books .They don't care about anybody and do stupid reckless things.There is very little Malec .They don't communicate that much .They don't talk through problems like they do in the show .I prefer show Malec over books. But you can read" eldest curses ".That's the 3 book series that focuses on Alec and Magnus and their characters.
@@areebarashid8584 I loved the books! Malec was portrayed very well. Yes, in TMI there hadn’t been a lot of Malec (but the times were it did happen- TOTALLY WORTH IT). Of course, in TID Alec didn’t even lived yet, so no Malec here. But, in TOTSA Malec does happen, and it’s really really really cute. Same goes for the Magnus Bane Chronicles and The Dart Artifices. (oh, and don’t Forget Ghosts of the Shadowmarket heheh) And then there is The Eldest Curses- MALEC I SEE MALEC EVERYWHERE!! XD (yo excuse me and my bad english, also my love for the books and malec things heheh, I really recommend them!!) EDIT: As u can see, I‘m just speaking about Malec in the books here, but maybe I should add something. The books are written very beautifully! Sometimes (often) Clary and Jace are doing some stupid shit, but they grow out of it. And I can only repeat myself, read the books! :D
I haven't read the whole book series yet, +I'm on the 4th one) but the books focus HEAVILY on Jace and Clary. I never minded Jace, but Clary is the absolute worst. But Alec is in the book a lot, although there isn't as much Malec as the show has. I still HIGHLY recommend the books❣️
I’ve bought all the books, mainly for Malec and to make sure I don’t miss anything. what I can say about mortal instruments: it’s mainly clary’s point of view and Jaces so to me, it absolutely sucks because these two characters are the ones I cannot stand. I think they are both kinda toxic and forced together. they both say how they would die if they can’t kiss each other or be around each other and it just gives me a weird vibe. I know Magnus makes appearances in the other books so that’s why I’ve decided to read the rest. I don’t think mortal instruments gets good until around book 4-5. that’s when they start bringing other point of views more. you get to see more of Alec, Izzy, and Magnus being vulnerable which I love. I think if they would’ve brought these characters more frequent earlier on that the books could’ve been so much better. a lot of people prefer the books (and Malec is definitely worth reading) but I still think the show is a lot better. I love seeing other side characters.
@@Littlecrowfriend 10% in love with Magnus Bane?? Have you watched ShadowHunters? Anyone who is a Malec fan knows that the love these two have 4 each other is the realest and most purest thing you ever c. No. No. He's 90% salt, 10% sarcasm, and 100% in love with Magnus Bane. Their love is infinite and will never die.
See Clary annoys me because she showed up out of nowhere with not training or any knowledge about anything and expects everyone to drop everything and save her. When Alec complains that she ruined their mission she goes off and whines to Jace and Simon. They're breaking the Law for her and she doesn't know the consequences of it, they're harsher in the shadow world then the mundane world. She is risking their lives so of course Alec would be pissed. Like what if a shadowhunter was cast out and wanted to be a mundane, killing people to save her self, Clary would be pissed. All I'm saying is I'm on Alec's side because Jace and Izzy trusted her to quickly. I mean they are shadowhunters.
I agree - she was basically willing to let everything go to shit for them, in order to save her mother, which was pretty damn selfish, expecting them to drop everything and help her for no reason when, as Alec had rightfully said, they literally had NO reason to trust her. I hated how she was basically totally selfish, always bringing up her own needs every chance she got. I get it, she lost her mother but The Team were there to help her (bc Jace decided it was worth it to throw themselves to shit) out of choice and they already knew the rules of the Shadow World and they were trying their best to play by the rules as much as possible, but she was just being a brat about things, so I don't blame Alec for being so salty towards her. I would too, in such a situation.
@@kirantaimuri8292 yea, it was so selfish of her to expect them to drop everything for her mom, who was married to someone who's literally public enemy no.1, and she was his daughter. in that situation, i wouldn't trust her and hell ya i'd be salty
totally agree bruh clary annoys me sm like what're you so whiny and selfish. I'm glad alec was in the series to humble her and I wouldn't have been able to watch past the first few ep if it wasn't for malec
As much as I love sour Alec: I love how much he's grown and changed in the series. He rarely hurts people when he's frustrated (Magnus told him off for it in the first episode of season 2 and Alec barely did it since). Alec went from being very moody and in pain, to rarely self harming (he tends to bleed his hands when he's feeling a lot of emotional pain, usually through over-training), and learning to work through his issues on a personal level. Part of that is how much power is was given. In season 1 he was basically deemed scapegoat for the Lightwood family by his parents, siblings and the Clave. Once he broke out of that and took his own way, he was capable of forcing people to look at his work and his progress and make them understand that he has done everything he could with what he was given, that he cares about other people, and that his abilities should speak for him. Part of it is also his own personal happiness. Once he was given more happiness, it wasn't as easy for people to go against him because it didn't look good for them. He was no longer just a 'stick in the mud' for them, he became an individual who made sense, but unfortunately it took him 'earning that.' Since he's very depressed and lacks the social abilities his siblings have he had to work 200% harder to get to the point of being respected and being happy. He can't completely win. 1. because the Clave is corrupt 2. because he's still unlearning his biases 3. people still go behind his back on issues that could severely impact his ability to run the Institute. But all in all, he's progressed so much as a character and I'm really glad.
Alec is a designated scapegoat-thank you, that's what I was trying to put into words for myself. I've just stumbled across this fandom, so I haven't watched the show itself yet, just multiple video clips & quotes. But that does seem pretty clear. I'm not saying he's always right or doesn't sometimes need a check; but they could do that without mockery, blame, or sabotage from people who should be on his side. It's clear that he's capable of great affection, even sweetness, when he has the freedom to allow himself to feel & express it.
Alec is the only one that reacts with common sense when Clary shows up. I hate how everyone treats him like he is just annoying and stubborn because he feels like it. I mean if a random girl showed up from nowhere and turned out to be the daughter to your greatest enemy what would you do? Just invite her in to your secret base and teach her everything about your plans and wepons?!
My favourites are "I'm the guy whose about to be disowned when Dad finds out Jace and Clary are still out doing god knows what" and of course. "We're about to overpay some warlock." Haha some warlock he says. Future husband.
The fact that he made 1,000 accounts just to dislike this video, says that he must have been in a foul mood....maybe he found out about Will from magnus or something :D
I know I'm practically alone in thinking this but ... Alec's right. Clary came into their world and disrespected their laws, traditions, etc. Whether they were right or wrong, she had no care as to who she upset or hurt. All she cared about was getting her own way. I think about Alec, who's the one who's supposed to be in charge, and I think about all the things that the Clave could have turned around and arrested him or deruned him because of the actions of Clary, Jace and Izzy - because they refused to listen to him. He gives an order and they jump to disobey. And, no, I don't agree with everything Alec said/did. I know he needed his head pulled out and given a huge dose of reality (which he got with Magnus). But the fact remains that, as the interm Head of the Institute, everything that they did could have been laid at his feet and none of them ever seemed to take a minute to think about that. And Jace, who's supposed to be closer than his blood-brother, took one look at Clary and practically trailed after her like a puppy. He never listens to Alec or even tries to. Clary came out of nowhere and is Valentine's daughter - Alec was right. Whether she is innocent or not, they should've been a little more careful instead of bending over backwards to help her. ..... Sorry for the rant, especially on a funny vid. I'm sick with the flu on Christmas and I just needed to rant. Happy holidays
Ikr!! I keep saying this to everyone. Atleast Clary got more tolerable in the upcoming seasons. Jace is still the same narcissistic self indulgent dumbass
City of Heavenly Fire: Jace: "I'm an open book" Alec: "I can read you like a very pornographic book" Jace: make us pie Alec: "no. For three reasons" 1: I don't have the any ingredients 2: I don't know how to make pie And 3... Jace: what's 3? Alec: "I'm not your bitch"
there's 2 things that i absolutely love about Alec. Firstly his bond with izzy is the best. like that's sibling goals right there. And secondly I love his constant attitude and resting bitch face of ''I can't be here anymore''
@@stephl1478 I think Matt (the actor) is a cheerful person who doesn't have a drop of salt in his soul... While the character he plays has "salt" in his middle name
S1 Alec: Emotions are nothing but a distraction S1 Alec looking into the future: S2 Alec: All my life, I've never felt that kind of fear. I love you. S2 Alec: I don't think I can live without you. S3 Alec: For me there is only one, Magnus. S3 Alec: Magnus is my world. S3 Alec: I'm going to ask Magnus to marry me. S1 Alec: This is a joke!
you know which one is better? in season one, when Magnus asks Dot if he she would risk her life for a shadowhunters? everytime he says that, I’m like BRO WHAT 😂😭 you foreshadowed yourself
Alec: look. Magnus, on every mission I've ever been on.. I've never felt that type of fear.. *ever* . Not knowing if you were alive or dead.. I.. I was terrified. Magnus: so was I Alec: magnus.. I.. I love you Magnus: I love you too *alec looks at him for a second then kisses him then hugs him after kissing him* Everything alec said done while breathing heavily. I think it was in season 2 when that happened. I know about that scene and I haven't even watched any of the episodes in season 2 yet! I'm still in season 1, I only know about that clip because I've watched that clip on youtube several times. If I was able to recite the whole(almost) conversation between alec and magnus from that scene, I think I've watched the scene/clip too much on youtube. Alec is ok once he catches feelings for magnus and they get all relationshipy with each other, but I think I like alec better the way he was in season 1 instead. He's more.. aloof, doesn't really care about much, cold?, can be nice occasionally, in season 1? He's good in the scene where he walks in clary's bedroom and starts to apologize to her then she says they can get her mom back and alec teams up with her to help her get her mom back. I don't know which season that was in but I don't think I got to that season yet. As I said, I'm still in season 1 😅😅 🙋🙋👋👋😊😊❤️❤️🙂🙂
chrissy mae I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!!!! Ha I understood that, I never understand any references anyone makes but I UNDERSTOOD THAT ONE😃😃😃😃 I...understood...ha umm that ehem ONE😂
Kinda the other way around but they were both closed off before the met each other, also Alec is too coordinated for this but whatever. Magnus: I will never love anyone again Alec: Trips through doorway Magnus: I want that one

I loved the books! Malec was portrayed very well. Yes, in TMI there hadn’t been a lot of Malec (but the times were it did happen- TOTALLY WORTH IT). Of course, in TID Alec didn’t even lived yet, so no Malec here. But, in TOTSA Malec does happen, and it’s really really really cute. Same goes for the Magnus Bane Chronicles and The Dart Artifices. (oh, and don’t Forget Ghosts of the Shadowmarket heheh)
And then there is The Eldest Curses- MALEC I SEE MALEC EVERYWHERE!! XD
(yo excuse me and my bad english, also my love for the books and malec things heheh, I really recommend them!!)
EDIT: As u can see, I‘m just speaking about Malec in the books here, but maybe I should add something.
The books are written very beautifully! Sometimes (often) Clary and Jace are doing some stupid shit, but they grow out of it. And I can only repeat myself, read the books! :D
I haven't read the whole book series yet, +I'm on the 4th one) but the books focus HEAVILY on Jace and Clary. I never minded Jace, but Clary is the absolute worst. But Alec is in the book a lot, although there isn't as much Malec as the show has. I still HIGHLY recommend the books❣️
I’ve bought all the books, mainly for Malec and to make sure I don’t miss anything. what I can say about mortal instruments: it’s mainly clary’s point of view and Jaces so to me, it absolutely sucks because these two characters are the ones I cannot stand. I think they are both kinda toxic and forced together. they both say how they would die if they can’t kiss each other or be around each other and it just gives me a weird vibe. I know Magnus makes appearances in the other books so that’s why I’ve decided to read the rest. I don’t think mortal instruments gets good until around book 4-5. that’s when they start bringing other point of views more. you get to see more of Alec, Izzy, and Magnus being vulnerable which I love. I think if they would’ve brought these characters more frequent earlier on that the books could’ve been so much better. a lot of people prefer the books (and Malec is definitely worth reading) but I still think the show is a lot better. I love seeing other side characters.
Alec and Derek would get along sooooo well

See Clary annoys me because she showed up out of nowhere with not training or any knowledge about anything and expects everyone to drop everything and save her. When Alec complains that she ruined their mission she goes off and whines to Jace and Simon. They're breaking the Law for her and she doesn't know the consequences of it, they're harsher in the shadow world then the mundane world. She is risking their lives so of course Alec would be pissed. Like what if a shadowhunter was cast out and wanted to be a mundane, killing people to save her self, Clary would be pissed. All I'm saying is I'm on Alec's side because Jace and Izzy trusted her to quickly. I mean they are shadowhunters.
I agree - she was basically willing to let everything go to shit for them, in order to save her mother, which was pretty damn selfish, expecting them to drop everything and help her for no reason when, as Alec had rightfully said, they literally had NO reason to trust her. I hated how she was basically totally selfish, always bringing up her own needs every chance she got. I get it, she lost her mother but The Team were there to help her (bc Jace decided it was worth it to throw themselves to shit) out of choice and they already knew the rules of the Shadow World and they were trying their best to play by the rules as much as possible, but she was just being a brat about things, so I don't blame Alec for being so salty towards her. I would too, in such a situation.
@@kirantaimuri8292 yea, it was so selfish of her to expect them to drop everything for her mom, who was married to someone who's literally public enemy no.1, and she was his daughter. in that situation, i wouldn't trust her and hell ya i'd be salty
totally agree bruh clary annoys me sm like what're you so whiny and selfish. I'm glad alec was in the series to humble her and I wouldn't have been able to watch past the first few ep if it wasn't for malec
well, the books were better lol
@@vanisha6000 she was just as annoying in the books.....
As much as I love sour Alec:
I love how much he's grown and changed in the series. He rarely hurts people when he's frustrated (Magnus told him off for it in the first episode of season 2 and Alec barely did it since). Alec went from being very moody and in pain, to rarely self harming (he tends to bleed his hands when he's feeling a lot of emotional pain, usually through over-training), and learning to work through his issues on a personal level.
Part of that is how much power is was given. In season 1 he was basically deemed scapegoat for the Lightwood family by his parents, siblings and the Clave. Once he broke out of that and took his own way, he was capable of forcing people to look at his work and his progress and make them understand that he has done everything he could with what he was given, that he cares about other people, and that his abilities should speak for him.
Part of it is also his own personal happiness. Once he was given more happiness, it wasn't as easy for people to go against him because it didn't look good for them. He was no longer just a 'stick in the mud' for them, he became an individual who made sense, but unfortunately it took him 'earning that.' Since he's very depressed and lacks the social abilities his siblings have he had to work 200% harder to get to the point of being respected and being happy.
He can't completely win. 1. because the Clave is corrupt 2. because he's still unlearning his biases 3. people still go behind his back on issues that could severely impact his ability to run the Institute. But all in all, he's progressed so much as a character and I'm really glad.
Alec is a designated scapegoat-thank you, that's what I was trying to put into words for myself. I've just stumbled across this fandom, so I haven't watched the show itself yet, just multiple video clips & quotes. But that does seem pretty clear. I'm not saying he's always right or doesn't sometimes need a check; but they could do that without mockery, blame, or sabotage from people who should be on his side. It's clear that he's capable of great affection, even sweetness, when he has the freedom to allow himself to feel & express it.
Honestly an underrated comment/fact
Well said👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

And like Matthew Daddario is the sweetest actor I've seen and his character is so salty. Omg it's funny....
Alec is the only one that reacts with common sense when Clary shows up. I hate how everyone treats him like he is just annoying and stubborn because he feels like it. I mean if a random girl showed up from nowhere and turned out to be the daughter to your greatest enemy what would you do? Just invite her in to your secret base and teach her everything about your plans and wepons?!

420.
Literally just replayed that like 10 times

The gayest he's been and he's in a relationship with a man. This was still more gay
Mood all the time
In times like this, I question why Magnus is so in love with Alec, like really...then I remember he's a cat person.
Oh my god
Jesus Christ 😂😂😂
What!?😂
Savage bruh
*chokes on her drink*
My favourites are "I'm the guy whose about to be disowned when Dad finds out Jace and Clary are still out doing god knows what" and of course. "We're about to overpay some warlock." Haha some warlock he says. Future husband.
Kayla T 😂 damn right ...future husband 😍😍😍
“Future Husband.”
well... that is confirmed in the newest ep 😹😹🤣🤣
I love how Alec was so tough at first but meeting Magnus somehow softened him
This is six minutes and twenty eight seconds of Alec being hott as fook and a sass queen❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've been looking for this comment
I like how this is almost every scene Alec is in except the ones in which he's alone with Magnus.
LOVE THIS!!
thanks! haha yeah the only times he was spewing salt at magnus were too heartbreaking and emotional for a video like this ;)
And this is why he's my favourite
He's a literal wall of salt. Though he becomes sugar (Read: Teeth rottingly sweet) when Magnus is around
Alec: Literally never stops talking
Simon: Keeps talking
Alec: I CAN'T be here anymore
I thought I was the only one!😂😂
That hand wave in front of Simon's face was brilliant.

Alec seriously is the Hermione of the group, they all would be dead if it wasn't for Alec and his common sense.
Alec is literally me in school
"Damn it Jace." "JACE-" "Jace is dead to me." CRYING LOL
Izzy summed it up perfectly: "Heavy is the head that wears the crown"
notice how most of these scenes are from S1 before he was with Magnus
Sometimes I feel like he was basically just sexually frustrated.

TAZY maybe Jace forced him to make a pie
Alec's the one person who dislikes everything.
of all these flavors alec chose to be salty
;)
I know I'm practically alone in thinking this but ... Alec's right.
Clary came into their world and disrespected their laws, traditions, etc. Whether they were right or wrong, she had no care as to who she upset or hurt. All she cared about was getting her own way. I think about Alec, who's the one who's supposed to be in charge, and I think about all the things that the Clave could have turned around and arrested him or deruned him because of the actions of Clary, Jace and Izzy - because they refused to listen to him. He gives an order and they jump to disobey.
And, no, I don't agree with everything Alec said/did. I know he needed his head pulled out and given a huge dose of reality (which he got with Magnus). But the fact remains that, as the interm Head of the Institute, everything that they did could have been laid at his feet and none of them ever seemed to take a minute to think about that.
And Jace, who's supposed to be closer than his blood-brother, took one look at Clary and practically trailed after her like a puppy. He never listens to Alec or even tries to. Clary came out of nowhere and is Valentine's daughter - Alec was right. Whether she is innocent or not, they should've been a little more careful instead of bending over backwards to help her.
..... Sorry for the rant, especially on a funny vid. I'm sick with the flu on Christmas and I just needed to rant. Happy holidays
Amanda Peterson I just realized u posted this a year ago but I completely agree with u😄
Amanda Peterson You’re completely right
Ikr!! I keep saying this to everyone. Atleast Clary got more tolerable in the upcoming seasons. Jace is still the same narcissistic self indulgent dumbass
How could u have the time to right this?
You aren't alone in thinking that, i've always thought the same thing and I completely agree with Alec.

I think it was in season 2 when that happened. I know about that scene and I haven't even watched any of the episodes in season 2 yet! I'm still in season 1, I only know about that clip because I've watched that clip on youtube several times. If I was able to recite the whole(almost) conversation between alec and magnus from that scene, I think I've watched the scene/clip too much on youtube. Alec is ok once he catches feelings for magnus and they get all relationshipy with each other, but I think I like alec better the way he was in season 1 instead. He's more.. aloof, doesn't really care about much, cold?, can be nice occasionally, in season 1? He's good in the scene where he walks in clary's bedroom and starts to apologize to her then she says they can get her mom back and alec teams up with her to help her get her mom back. I don't know which season that was in but I don't think I got to that season yet. As I said, I'm still in season 1 😅😅

you would think that by watching this, you would hate him more but it's honestly the exact opposite
I can’t even imagine hating Alec at all, to be honest.
