It's bizarre for me to hear Ben Barnes described as "an older actor," since to me he'll always be associated w/ babyfaced Prince Caspian lol
Same
Word!
Same but he’s almost 40 by now . And I’m like ... I really didn’t see the time passing.
Same
Lucy was only ten for the first one. Then 13 and 15 lol 😂
One thing I am majorly excited about, but which I haven't seen anyone talking about, is that there is going to be an original soundtrack for the Shadow and Bone series. Like, there is going to be an 'Alina Embraces her Powers' track and a 'No Mourners No Funerals' theme and I CANNOT WAIT.
OK LISTEN I should have mentioned this because it’s something I’ve thought about and it’s so important
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS AHH
I hadn't thought about this, but now that I know, I don't think my heart can handle it.
HDKAHDVSAJDHHSSBBZ
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I CANTTTT
Okey I don’t give a fuck about alina BUT A NO MOURNERS NO FUNERALS SOUNDTRACK OMGG
YES, I completely agree with Kaz being a younger version of Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders. That's how I've always envisioned him.
That is EXACTLY what I thought. He reminds me of him SO MUCH
ME TOOOOOO omg. I actually was searching for fanart of Tommy Shelby when I stumbled upon Kaz fanart, and I was like whO IS THIS YOUNG TOMMY SHELBY GUY and anyway here I am lol
Funny fact. I saw recently interview with Freddie and when asked question about, who would he choose for the role of he was casting director and he said Cilian Murphy 🙂
Inej is my favorite character and the actress they chose is exactly what I pictured I love it
Im absolutely shook because I went to school with that actress and to see her so successful and in this adaption is AWESOME
She’s perfect 😭
@@CaptainCrimsonCC thts so cool omg
@@CaptainCrimsonCC woah that’s so awesome
Also can we just talk about the fact that someone commented on one of the cast photos saying that they really want a Darklina makeout scene and Jessie Mei Li LIKED the comment.
She's looking out for us fans already.
Laura Maldonado I mean it’s gonna happen. The whole wanting makes us weak scene?! Ughhhh
She is luckyyyy. Imagine making out with Ben Barnes👀
Maybe she's looking out for herself 😂
@@ThoughtsOnTomes RIGHT. 👀
You said Ben Barnes and I laughed because I only know him as Sirius.
A EXACTLY
YESS
Do you ship Wolfstar?
@@veenarani5413 I'm not an avid shipper but I'm probably the only person I know who is okay with both Wolfstar and the canon ship. I honestly just want Sirius and Lupin happy no matter who they're happy with...within reason.
@@RogueLola I'm actually okay with both Wolfstar and Remus/Tonks too. I ship Wolfstar more, and I don't think Remus would have gotten with Tonks if Sirius had not died, but I was happy for Remus since you can tell he loves Tonks and Teddy a lot.
@@veenarani5413 It's so refreshing to hear that honestly. I usually get lots of heat for that opinion. While I think Wolfstar is really cute and sweet, I always felt saying he should've never been with Tonks or it was fake diminishes the love they had and the love he had for his son which makes me sad.
i bet the soc side of season one is gonna be the backstories so future seasons can really hone in on the heist.... like nina and matthias surviving the shipwreck and kaz getting inej out of the menagerie and oh my god i’m not ready 💀💀💀
I was so happy w Inej and Kaz's casting. They are my Grishaverse OTP and they look exactly bow I pictured.
I've been wondering if they were leaning more on finding an actor who is actually biracial for Jesper than they were on finding one who was dark-skinned. I'm sure he'll be a great Jesper, but I do wish they'd focused more on the latter than the former.
idk what they were looking for but honestly i feel kit is perfect not only because of how he embodies jesper's energy but also because even in the books jesper is biracial..
his mother is poc and father is white
"There's just a lot to work with here."
- every fan artist when that picture got posted
Kaz is my murder child and I was so nervous about his casting and now he's been cast and all I've been able to do is flail about it.
If you want to see more of Freddy, go watch Free Rein. He plays Peter ‘Pin’ Hawthorne in it. So good lol 😂
Literally yelled, "YES!" when you mentioned Kaz being a younger Cillian Murphy. Scared the crap out of my husband. But YESSSSSS. Exactly.
I don't like the Darkling but when I saw Ben Barnes cast for him, I was like... Is this LOVE?
I like that Jesper has hair...cuz it always bother me that he had a shaved head in the fan art. I was like “give Jesper an Afro you cowards 👏🏾” lol. But in all honesty as someone who is dark skin I was kind of disappointed with Kit playing Jesper, but now that I’ve sat on it I think Kit is good for the role. His mother is a dark skin women so I can totally see him really seeing himself in Jesper. I hope whoever they cast as Jesper’s mom, I hope she is at least dark skinned. Your comment about his hands is so funny to me cuz that’s the first thing I noticed about Kit in that photo lol.
Also I’m with you on Freddy playing Kaz. He’s perfect for the role!
Jazzy115 Yes I agree. I also had some doubts in the beginning, because at first glance I kind of thought the actor playing Jesper was latina... And looked far from what I pictured Jesper originally, but I actually think he’ll do a great job.
I want to know who’s playing my baby Wylan 😭
SAME HES MY FAVE CHARACTER
He wont be in season 1
Salem Rose ikkk I’m so sad hes my baby🥺
@@gauri3841 EHBDIJSJAKMBNJ WYLAN IS THE BESTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Wylan so much. He’s a treasure.
I literally screeched and started pacing around my room when I saw it on Twitter. Bitch I am excited, and I cannot wait. On screen Darklina can wreck me.
So glad you also thought Cillian Murphy for Kaz (but obviously a older version). His character in Peaky Blinders is basically a older Kaz
Your energy is contagious and I love it. "she's hanging on Ben Barnes and I'm like same girl I don't blame you." YAAASSS.
I was shook because the actress playing Inej went to my school. I couldnt believe it 😮⚔️
Sam’s passion in this video is everything 😆
Can’t wait to see who gets casted as Nikolai in the future series!
I just got major flashbacks to watching you fangirl over The Grishaverse when I first started watching booktube and I immediately went out and bought them bc of your excitement!! Nostalgia!
I'm loving the casting! The Darkling and Kaz are so gorgeous and the girls are beautiful!! Poor Mal! I actually really liked him in the books so I'm goping the actor brings Mal some more love bc he's not a bad guy at all! Now I need to reread this series. I've only read it once about 2 years ago and I think it's time for a refresher!!
Lisa Hennessey oh yay that brings me joy
Ben Barnes is so good at playing baddies. Him as Billy Russo (The Punisher) is a really great example
Just how Danielle IS really embodies Nina's spirit and I think she's going to slay this role as our waffle loving girl. Despite how she looks, I think they chose her because she really has a similar energy to the character, so I really like their choice. Especially the chemistry between her and Matthias is spot on as well, at least from what I've seen🥰
I love the casting. Also Daisy Head is Anthony Stewart Head’s daughter aka he is Giles from Buffy.
Fangirlnoir OK I THOUGHT SO THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
The fandom gods are merciful and have obviously heard of Sam’s good deeds upon the world. 🤣🙌🏼
I always pictured mal as a blond haired person. Dont ask me why haha
Yes, so did i!! I think blonde hair fits him more lol;)) also I've always pictured nikolai as a dark haired person but I got used to it bc of the fanarts hahaha
Okay same im glaf im not the only one
I have been waiting for your reaction since the casting was announced! I had always pictured Ben Barnes as the Darkling!
I haven’t been so excited for a cast announcement and I still can’t stop thinking about it
I relate to this whole video 😂 I’m honestly very content with the cast......especially Ben freaking Barnes.
Dorian Gray is upgrading his evil ways
"No one's really talking about him and neither will I.." Lmaooo
ALSO OMG ARCHIE IS ACTUALLY GOD SENT HES SO BEAUTIFUL
I don't know why I'm rewatching this but I am
It's probably more than a year away from its premier, but I'm already SUPER excited for your reaction video to Shadow and Bone trailer. 🔥
MY SOUL NEEDED THIS VIDEO!
I’m the only one in my friend group that has read and is obsessed with the grishaverse. 😫
I also found out about the casting at work. I had wait until I got to my car to inhumanly screech.
You are among friends here. 🙂
I know your pain.
I've been trying to get my friends into it! be my friend and we can talk about it!
Thank you for these videos!!! Your excitement (everyone’s excitement) is just awesome !!! I’m already in love with this cast and I’m excited to see behind the scenes videos of all of them hanging out and goofing off. I can’t wait for more of these videos and I’m glad that people are showing them a lot of love ❤️
Omg this was the best. Your excitement is contagious... you just make me so much more excited for the show!
Was so ready for this video and you didn’t disappoint!! I was freaking out as well and just love love loveeeee kaz and inej’s casting! Also, jesper’s actor had a video on Instagram of him dancing/air playing drums over the weekend and I got soooo many Jesper vibes. He had like a serious face while doing it and at the end just grinned and I was like Oh My Gosh you are going to be so great as Jesper!!! Ahhhh!!!
I really hope they keep a Russian aesthetic on the series.
Alright so I’ve just discovered your channel and adored you immediately but THIS 👏🏻VIDEO👏🏻. You are so fun to watch and every single thing you said, every movement, every freak out is totally how I reacted 😂🙌🏻
FREDDY CARTER IS SO FUCKING PERFECT AS KAZ AND I DIE.
I 1000% echo your excitement. I just want this to be out so I can watch it 50 times over and fangirl/cry/laugh each time.
I haven´t read any of the Grisha books yet (emphasis on the yet :)) but upon seeing Ben Barnes being cast, I immediately put the books on my TBR and the show on my watchlist. I´m not sure how accurate his casting really is, but I freaking love him!!! He got me with Dorian Gray, and I remember just flat out rejecting Oscar Wilde´s description of Dorian in the books :-P
Really becoming inspired to do a Six of crows reread because of this netflix news😁
I had a similar reaction when Vampire academy was adapted, and am one of few, it seems, that really enjoyed that film.
I dident know Nina and Zoya had been casted cool. 😃
I'm very excited about the cast we have so far but i want to know who's playing Wylan??
Koko Chen I don’t think we are getting him until season 2
My first thought exactly! Better give him a shitload of screentime in season 2! And they better find an actor who can blush on command!
I FEEL you. You literally speak my mind. My thoughts right now: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL APRIL.
Like, first of all, the Darkling: Ben Barnes is fine but OMG his voice in the teaser. That just gave me chills. Perfection.
Then, obviously, KAZ. I guess I don't even need to say it. I couldn't picture him any better. I mean like, JUST LOOK AT HIM. I'm freaking out.
Then, Inej. My beloved Inej. Amita Suman is the perfect cast and she and Freddy already have the chemistry 🤩 omg I'm so excited.
Alina is also perfect. And I CAN'T WAIT to see her use her gifts 🤩🤩
I'll leave out Mal, cause I don't think he's the most important, but omg Jesper! On Instagram there's this one video of him, you've probably seen it, where you can only see his shadow flipping and (I'm guessing also) loading a gun and I can't believe we're actually getting to SEE HIM SHOOT ON TV. I just can't process it. Like, how incredibly AWESOME is this? They are freaking turning the damn world into a TV show. I am the luckiest person on earth. Ahhhhhhhh I'm so excited 🤩🤩🤩🤩
"Do you understand how I feel?!" I believe I do haha
I am bingeing cast announcement reaction videos and by far yours leveled mine. Haha
glad you enjoyed!
This video is everything. I am even more excited after watching Sam’s excitement
Just want to know who is playing Wylan, Inej is perfect
Daisy Head in season 3 of Harlots is amazing. I'm so excited for this whole casting!
i laught a lot about the "she destroys him" with the darkling and alina because, for me, it had always looked like every plan alina has is beaten to shit by the darkling. literally any plan, is a little bit ):.
I am so excited for this and I love Ben Barnes but Inej is the best and the actress is beautiful and Kaz fits so well to what I had in my head!
I didn't realize they were going to do Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows together. I guess I need to get onto reading the Six of Crows duology soon!
I'm glad that you're so enthusiastic, but personally my expectations are below zero... I've been burned so many times before that I would rather be pleasantly surprised than hugely disappointed again.
I can't wait to see who they cast as david and botkin and the creepy apparat. God I am just sooooo excited.
I love the cast! I'm super excited to see how they mix Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows together...
I feel like i'm the only one that loves Mal, he was always there for Alina. Never asked for anything and always willing to give his all for her. Everyone else just wanted her for what she could give them.
I needed this video and yes so true I've seen Ben Barnes dream casted for so many YA books lol. Kaz is my baby so I'm excited to see how the actor portrays him
haha I was excited before but your excitement is making me SO EXCITED!!!!
I just went through ALL your favorite books vids and added every book to my tbr
This is my first time viewing your videos...I have decided I like you! I love your down-to-earth, honest sassiness. I am also someone who can separate book-form from onscreen-form, so I really appreciate those two separate trains of thoughts you have. PS Freddy Carter is my favorite casting!!! Kaz is my book boyfriend if I can never have Nikolai...Kaz: "I'm going to get my money. And I'm going to get my girl." *swoon* I also like Mal more with each of my re-reads. "How they embody characters." YES! Hair, makeup, costumes can take care of the "book-look." Here's hoping there is a second season, so we get our Nikolai! *fingers crossed* *clutch the pearls* *deep breath*
AGREE with the Ben Barnes part. He has been cast for Sirius, Baz, Kieran, and who knows who else. And he plays Caspian and Dorian?? But I love him so I am READY TO SIMP.
Thoughts on tomes, I love your channel! They just released a short clip of Alina and Baghrah training in her hut and looks fantastic! Rumor has it we get another trailer tomorrow
Same! I’m so excited and I can’t wait to see the visual come alive from the books! I’m legit the happiest person ever cuz of this lol
BinBons is out here about to bless my black little heart and I can’t fucking wait. Also Alina and Inej? I MEAN IMMA HEAD OUT CRUEL WORLD UNTIL THESE QUEENS APPEAR ON MY SCREEN.
Your eye makeup is always the bomb
thank you :)
Yasss me too sis
I can't wait for Alina and Darkling romance
Can't wait for him to be destroying her WHILE HE *FUCKING HUGS* AND KISSES HER HAIR!!
"Because I still have emotions" SO RELATABLE
This is such a happy video 🥰 needed that rn
I'm actually really happy with the cast even though I haven't read the books yet. I especially love the actors for Kaz and Inej. I watched a fan video manip of these two actors and omg they look so cute together and I can sense chemistry. After I finish reading the Percyverse books, I'm going to read this series next followed by The Selection which is getting an adaptation by Netflix into movies.
I WAS LEGIT JUST WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO. ONE OF MY FIRST THOUGHTS AFTER AJDJWOSNJD AND OMGOMGOMG WAS I CANT WAIT FOR HER VIDEO.
⚠️a year later the show is almost here⚠️
:))))
I loved your fan-girling moments in this - it was so relatable to how I feel when excited by things I love! Looking forward to more reactions as the updates (and series eventually) come through 💕
i would kinda love if eva greene plays baghra, she does creepy but powerful very well
I didn’t think about it before but she would be perfect!
I hope they just turn Alina bad 😂
Omg I’m a year late but same, I am so obsessed with Darklina that they just need to be endgame!
I have never read anything by Leigh Bardugo but I really want to. Where should I start? Your excitement is contagious!
start with the original trilogy!
I just finished the book and am so excited for this !!
I have not been able to form a coherent thought since the cast was announced. I’m glad we can all Fangirl here with the best Grisha Fangirl!!!! I can not stop looking at the photo 😍😍😍
Your Darkling is closer to what I would picture, even though I don't really fan cast and characters' looks are really blurry in my mind when reading.
Thank you for summing up all my Ben Barnes feelings. Well actually just all of my feelings on the casting, I agree with basically everything you said
I also feel like you're the Emmmabooks of the Grishaverse! I can remember watching her reactions to The Shadowhunters and now I get to react to you reacting 😝
niicolereads lol perf
The way I imagine book!Kaz is... not really a way in which any human man could be expected to look, but Freddy Carter's cheekbones have me sold. -i do wish they had cast a disabled actor since kaz canonically has a limp but that is neither here nor there-
That being said, Inej, Genya, and Alina are literally perfect.
I'm the exact same way, when I found out about this show I was afraid to see who was playing Kaz because I've never been able to pull together a real picture of him in my head. No actor ever seemed right, even the fanart didn't match what I felt, but I can't specifically say why. He's just...idk, a different type of human? Anyways I think Freddie Carter looks alright and I'm only going to be convinced when I see him in character. I do like his face though lmao
Alll the feels girl all the feels 💗💗💗
I remember the woman playing Nina from GOT. She had very small character but her eyes left an impression on me.
I also loved all the cast, which really surprised me cause that doesn't usually happen to me. About the rumored actress for Nina, yes, Nina is plus size, but if you look at the art that comes with the duology, she is not thaaaat plus size and I believe that Leigh had that art in mind which I also think she had more control over than the cast. It's great that fans imagine her in different ways, but nowhere in the books it is said that she is obese. I think that, as long as she is plus size, the actress will be perfect
You fangirling is ALL OF US !!!!
One small thing. I am not sure whether the author has ever addressed this, but I have heard it so many times, I kind of have to get it off my chest. As the Grisha trilogy takes a lot of Slavic and Russian themes, I am pretty sure the pronunciation of Genya should be softer. Ideally, the G should become ZH (it´s actually a very similar sound to how Xi Jinping´s name is supposed to be pronounced). With some stretch of the imagination, it could be G as in "genius", but if there´s any Slavic influence, it should definitely not be a hard G. I´m not sure I am explaining myself very well, just thought I would get it out there :)
this video instantly improved my mood!
Betul 💜
I dont think I ever nodded this much to the video, yes yes and yessss!
Maybe it's just cause I'm only one book into the series (Shadow And Bones, obvs) but I quite like Mal and can't help but feel like they did him a little dirty in the casting. Maybe Archie is a great actor and thats why, but the book described him as very attractive and it seems to me they were just focused on someone who wouldn't outshine Ben Barnes in the looks department.
Agree
It's been two years since you posted this, but I just had a thought to add. Ben Barnes actually *suggested* that Archie Renaux play the part of Mal!
Oops! I left out that Ben had been in a BBC TV series, called "Gold Digger," with Archie. Ben thought Archie was a very talented actor, so he recommended him to the showrunners. I also must say that it's almost impossible to find an actor more beautiful than Ben Barnes, especially one who can play the antagonist.🤔🤔🤔
I completely agree about the casting for the Darkling
Sam, who would you cast as Nikolai?
I am so excited!
Cillian (Murphy) pronounced not "Sillian" but "Killian"
Really? I've only ever heard it the first way
@@shangc2781 it's an irish name, they have their own rules of pronunciation
WaterResistance ok that makes him even hotter oops I don’t make the rules
Right you are! It’s pronounced like a K.
Sam, your reactions to things cracks me up! :D :D :D You're so hilarious!
What actual Slavic representation? We only deserve to play Russian mafia in action movies! Oh wait, even for those roles they choose American actors who butcher our language. Why should a Russian girl Alina be Slavic when we can make her Asian? All people should be represented, just not Russians.
Anyway, I'm still pumped for the show, hope it will be good :)
yeah im polish but i still would love to see some russians or slavics in this series
Eridiana A. I feel your pain sister
I wonder when they’re going to introduce Matthias? Not sure if they’re going to have him in the first season
This video has pushed me to give the Grishaverse another chance. I’ve tried so hard to get into the first book but I keep putting it off and finding other things to read. I think I’m finally ready to give these books a try.
I loved watching your reaction. It's making me extra excited. I would love for you to make a King of Scars 2 prediction video. If you think that is something you would like to do. I just would love to see what you think will happen. I myself am an Alina/Darkling shipper and I am hoping to get the dream ending you mentioned in this video.
Love love love your channel! And this has absolutely nothing to do with the video, this is just a book rec. I believe you should read Destroyer of Light the second part retelling of the Hades and Persephone story by Rachel Alexander. It has better characterization and I believe it’s a great follow up book. I saw how much you really enjoyed Hades and Persephone retellings and I do too! I’ve been searching for the perfect ones. Right now I’m looking into more, such as The Seeds trilogy. I hope if you do read it, you enjoy!
