Also Damon's eyes are repeatedly described as black in the novels. But Casting Ian with those blue eyes was the best change they ever made.
100% agree
They are just diferent. Damon from the books is a completely diferent person. They both beautiful and sexy in their own way ♥️
Idk, they made him super attractive, but even though Damon is attractive he's supposed to have this air of danger. Ian didn't scare me that much tbh
Well yeah because in the novels, demons black eyes could reflect the stars when u look at it. But it would be near impossible to do that in the serials.
April Wood I’m also so glad that they changed it that Elena would end up with damon
i feel like nina played both elena and katherine so well, the complete change of character and personalities astonishing
i think her sad scenes and angry scenes are just straight up cringyyyyy. she’s not very good at those but that’s my opinion
Karis H. No I disagree with you. She’s a great actress
@@karish1734 as if you can do better
No more Orange juice She was a great portrayal of Elena (or how the writers wanted to portray IN THE tv show) but comparing her to other actors I know of, her acting is good, but not AMAZING. Kind of the reason why I never cried watching her scenes. Candice and Kat were AMAZING though!
@@fatoumatacisse3796 Poor argument. I agree that Nina Dobrev was amazing in the roles and I do not support @Karis H's statement, but one does not need to be an actor in order to criticise another actor's work
But can we talk about Caroline’s character development in the series though?
Layken Doherty the books or the show?
i hated her at first
god yes!! i hated her and then i lived her sm. i only really cried at her scenes.
Never liked her for some reason. She always was annoying and demonstratively cheery to me.
@@Evgeniyashcherba you've got bad taste
This honestly makes me want to read the books. It sound like a whole different story to me.
they're not that good honestly. I read all of them but the characters aren't just annoying, but unrelatable. Caroline as she is at the very beginning of the show is basically who Elena is for most of the books and its just exhausting honestly.
same...bro I just bought the audio xD
Tbh, I kinda do, too, but at the same time, hearing how some things are just makes me feel like I wouldn’t enjoy it. Especially with Elena being so much like a human Caroline. I mean, I never really liked Caroline until after she became a vampire and I don’t really know how I’ll enjoy a book while hating the main character.
This is one of the few instances where the movie/tvshow is better. I finally decided to read the books because I love the show so much. I read the first 2 and finally called it quits in book 3 I couldn’t do it anymore. The characters are absolutely awful and difficult to bond with and imo the story was boring. I may try the Originals books at some point
@@LifeAsItIs478752 oh I just want to read it to see what other creatures exist tbh. I feel like as long as I dont compare the two I could think of it as a different story
Kat Graham played tf out of Bonnie Bennett.
Lorenzo Nelson she’s was amazing as fuck !
i love Bonnie Bennett but we should have seen more of her instead of adding
the Originals to the story line!
i like the originals dont get me wrong but i love Bonnie and Grams!!!
grams will always be "Whitley "from a different world to me!
that plus dead like me!
we just needed more time with the Bennett's and not bring one in and kill them off type of scenario!
I got annoyed everytime the CW would try to kill her character...then bring her back to life. It was overdone.
Natalia Mitiaev right?!!? She was the backbone of the show! Without her, they’d all be dead.
I'm upset that the show writers made Damon end up with Elena instead of Bonnie despite the fact that Damon and Bonnie had better chemistry. I've also always saw that she and Matt were a perfect fit in the first season but nobody else noticed that and this is the first time in 10 years that I've heard about their relationship in the book!!!!!!
I'm just glad they casted Nina Dobrev, cause she was amazing as Katherine 👏👏
As Katherine she was but as Elena ...
@@jonanpeppers6448 she played elena really well but the writers ruined her character after s2
@@clarenceparents4945 hahaha watch the movies that Nina Dobrev did before and after TVD. Her acting SUCKS. It doesn't matter what happened after S2. The script was the same for everyone. The fault isn't of writters. Nothing explains her annoying way to act. Elena was nasty even in the books.
Joey Peppers No it’s not how Nina did it. it’s how the director wanted her to do it so it’s not Nina’s acting
So she was able to play them different, you can just TELL who was who.... I have a lot of tvd media in my phone and the auto face recognition even knows and separates images of katherine and Elena.
Okay but anyone else ship Caroline and Klaus :(
Big Sigh yea 100% it’s probably my fourth favourite ship outta this series but this is my favourite ships
1. Damon and elena 😍😍 aka my fav
2. Elijah and Hayley
3. Jeremy and Anna
4.Caroline and Klous
Yesss
caroline and stephan are the worst, and caroline and klaus are amazing
Is this the krusty krab?
Big Sigh I love them🥺
I'm still sad at how the show robbed Bonnie's character, she was just there. I wish they had done more with her character especially her love life
South African Caramel exactly every guy she had some chemistry with was like either killed off or the relationship went no where
@@athenarivera8237 Like wtf happened to the boy her mother raised?
They robbed Tylers character as well!
@@karinaleal4466 not to mention Meredith lmao
@@athenarivera8237 Bamon were soul mates ugh! I can't believe Julia didn't make it happen. Also, Stephen was made for Katherine, Elena soulmate is Stephens Doppelganger but he was killed for his blood.
It’s funny to see how Jeremy’s voice gets deeper throughout the seasons lol
and how he gets so jacked
Shejprit Singh yass
i know ahh
He was going through puberty still i guess lmao he was 21 when he start
And his handsome meter gets higher and higher each season including his abs
Human Caroline Forbes (Tv series) is like Elena Gilbert in the books.
The book's Katherine is more like the confused and shy Elena of the series and Bonnie in book seems to be a bit unhinged.
It just is.....painful
Thank you! Finally someone who think so, as well. I mean her appearance and her character fit book elena! And how ironic that they went with the next-door brunette but people ended up liking caroline's development more!
@@pmparda mmm
W
Hafsa Haq lol
Yea Elena is the super popular chick with an attitude
I like the fact that Damon and Bonnie could JUST be friend’s and nothing more than that. Not every friendship has to have a romantic story to it. So the fact that Bonnie and Damon has a very good friendship that I loved because it shows the realistic ideas that boys and girls can be freinds
I agreeee
I actually think they would've made a great couple and Elaina Coul've been his bestfriend.
I actually loved this too. There friendship was so strong and amazing.
They make good friends but I wish Kai and Bonnie dated🥰
@@christyjohnson2980 same shoulda been like her making him a good guy.
There’s should be series about Bennett witches and the origin of witches
Omg that’s a great idea
Um, they tried making a show called The Secret Circle which was about witches and based on another book written by the Vampire Diaries author. It was cancelled after one season. It was actually pretty good, except the main actress
Anjali Lopchan omg yessss!
@@leech1355 Brit was actually a good actor tho? Her character was just horribly written
MichaelJ Compeltely disagree. Sometimes bad direction or writing can be the reason, but in this case she straight up couldn’t act, it was so painful to watch
“There are more creatures in the books that dont get screen time.” HaVe YoU SeEn legacies!
exactlyyy😂💀
I still can't. Netflix hasn't aired it in the Netherlands. I'm waiting desperately!!!!!
kittyclaw1980 you Can find it on HBO :)
@@kittyclaw1980 u can find it on Amazon prime video or download from any website
I'm so happy with legacies it's like the book representation we never got in the vampire diaries 😭😭😭
Jeremy wasn’t adopted, Elena was...
Adoptive Brother. That's what she said. It’s what one would refer to their adopted family as they are not related in blood.
Adoptive vs Adopted
i never knew jeremy was elena’s cousin, where in the series did they say that?
@@straykidsistherapy I think it was in season 2 when she discovers that her biological dad is Jonathan, who is Jeremy's uncle.
@@toni123446 so Elena and Jeremy were cousins/ half brother and sister
Still to this day I STILL BELIEVE BONNIE BENNETT DESERVED BETTER.
I actually CRIED when Bonnie lost Enzo. Their relationship was EVERYTHING. And I hated that Bonnie always sacrificed herself and her happiness for everybody else.
she def did
yes for sure she ran the show
PERIOD!!!!
I love bon bon
I think the reason why everyone hated Elena was because she didn’t have any character development. For example, Caroline started off petty, materialistic, and selfish but changed throughout the 8 seasons of the show into a caring, compassionate person. Elena started off nice but then she became more mean and selfish (having everyone else sacrifice everything to save her). And Bonnie was constant throughout the series: selfless and always protecting her friends. Damon was also a liked character because he started off an assh*le and then as he started falling for Elena he slowly became more and more like able and a good character. Katherine also started out this way and became kinda good
Elena wasn't mean without her humanity she was mean of course but overall she wasn't mean or selfish when human and vampire
purplelove010 yes she was
Remember when Elena said in season 6, “Bonnie Bennett, you have spent your entire life making sacrifices for me now it’s my turn, for you”. She is kind.
Katherine became kinda good? Girl did you see the the last ever episode? She was the literal queen of hell, an icon tho we stan
when did katherine start to be good please?
I'm so glad they added ''the original family'' because, tbh, it was the best thing that happened to TVD. Plus, I love the Originals a lot more and TVD had such a dissapointing last season
lilchrispy ikr season 8 wasn’t that good
ARMY♡
I LOVE THE ORIGINALS except for the ending ofc
i personally liked tvd more than to bc obviously it has wayyy more seasons and has more qualities to it to make it more inter.
Trueee it was cringe
Forgot to mention that Damon was actually a lot more cruel in the books then in the series.
I agree. Go to admit Ian Somerhalder did a very good job of it though!
@@evelynharber6077 That scene where he threatened her little sister in the book...man if they had put that in the series I doubt people would have liked him so much. LOL
At least he wasn't a rapist. I liked his unapologetic attitude for being who he was. He enjoyed being a vampire.
@@samhart4205I mean don't get me wrong I loved Damon. He was my favorite, but he was still a lot more cruel in the books. That doesn't mean i didn't like him. But I have a feeling if they had put him forth like that in the series a lot less people would have liked him.
@@heatheralpert2294 It's funny you should say that. I find Damon in season one the closest to book Damon, that's why I love his character so much in season one. He's very unpredictable although book Damon has that and the suaveness of Elijah. He was a charmer as a human, and cultured learned Italian nobleman. I think Book Damon is very hard to resist 😂
"Dear diary, A chipmunk asked me my name today. I told him it was Joe. That lie will haunt me forever.".........lol Damon Salvatore is best.....
🤣🤣
Oh my God, I love Damon
idk if it’s just me but i hated when elena started to curl her hair rather than straightening it. it was like her thing? idk how to explain it. but the curled hair is katherines thing.
thats how i was but it started growing on me threw out the show
She curled her hair only a little bit but it looked nothing like katherines. It still looked overall pretty straight
i think she looked wayyyy better with it but it was more wavy than curly so i think it still suited her
Elena’s curly hair is actually different from Katherine’s. it’s way different curls. Elena was soo pretty with straight hair and Katherine was soo pretty with curly hair. I personally hated Elena’s hair in season 4, it got better in season 6 and in finale episode but I think they ruined Elena’s look.
I kinda agree but I think that happened because of her becoming a vampire, she changed them in a wavy style and don't exactly curly like Kathrine's because she was something between her old self and Katherine to show us the difference between her being a human or a vampire and the fact that she is not like Kathrine. That's why when she turned as human again, her hair was strait!!. Idk if that makes any sence but I tried to explain it the best I could!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR BTW
there is also the HUGE fact that when Elena dies, her angel side woke up and she had multiple powers through a different set of wings. how Damon turned back into being human again. (by a fox who gave him a flower and he ate it). the fact that Tyler and Caroline end up together in the books. That there was no Original family, Klaus turned Katherine because he was asked to by Katherine's ''nanny'' (if I remember correctly) because she was dying and somehow she knew that Klaus was a vampire (and a total loner and hermit). As mentioned below, the brothers were Italian and lived in the renaissance era, that they died in a duel, killing each other with swords. THERE IS SO MUCH that the show left from the books. SO EFFING MUCH.
AJ So in the books Caroline gets her Happily Ever After 😍
@@alicewonder7033 yep, she did. even if Tyler was an asshole at first lol
You know, I could live without the kitsune situation, but it did bring Bonnie and Damon closer... 🤔
Who did Damon end up with? And were klaus and Caroline ever a thing in the books? This is so interesting!
@@snotterwt no, Klaus died at the hands of Katherine and Damon was with Bonnie
Wait how are Elena and Katherine half-sisters in the book when Katherine was alive a century ago???
DestinyGirl exACtLY how tf her mother get pregnant 🤦♀️
If I remember correctly, their mother was an angel and didn't die.
@@LK-zk7ol I'm glad that I didn't read more books after the 5th one then. I was already fed up with that angel bullshit when I first read that.
I thought the same 😑 that doesn't have any sense.... and I read the book... 😌
Leah Christodoulou drafted????? wut does that mean, for wut ?
Who else was waiting for “Elena is blonde in the books”
I was waiting for Elena was half angel in the books
“Vegetarian who enjoys animal blood instead”
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, i always thought that was ridiculous...
Stefan might actually like Edward then
@Rudy Campos There's no meat in blood, so he can be a vegetarian.
Unpopular opinion: somewhere along the road I started hating Elena and was so glad about Kai's spell...
Elena was so annoying and started getting on my nerves too lol. I came to like Katherine, because at least she was real about the person she was lol
She became a duex machina without offering any positives.
I really didnt like elena and i love what kais spell did for the bamon friendship
me too she was getting really annoying by then
I like katherine more too,she's right,she never turn off her humanity even tho she suffer so much and was on the run but Elena did and Katherine hated her for been such a hypocrite and for been pretentious,at least Katherine recognize been a bitch herself and own it.
I can definitely say that The Vampire Diaries' writers did a great job when in comes to changing some aspects for the series, while still maintaining elements of their source material.
123fort andbree season 6 was honestly the second worst season for me. I'm one of the people who only watched the TV show.
I liked the first 3 seasons. Season 3 was my fave because of The Originals. After that, the show went downhill imo. I think the season with Kai in it wasn’t so bad, it reminded me of the original essence of the show, like how it was seasons 1-3.
kat x season 5 was great to me. I liked the entire Travellers plot.
I like season 1234
I hate season 5 & 7
Season 6 was a little bit better
And I even didn't watch season 8
No they didn't, at all-_-
I like how some people don’t like Elena but they like Katherine that’s how good of a actor Nina dobrev is😩
Xd I think it's because they wish they were like Katherine but realize they're actually Helena alike.
Stefan isn't really Elena's soulmate, he was made for katherine. Stefan's doppelganger is her actual soulmate but he was killed for his blood
katherine and stefan for life !! idc what anyone says they should have started dating in season 5 when katherine was dying and he should have kissed her and somehow because they are doppelgängers the kiss healed her from dying and they fell back in love with each other and get married
Mels yeah!! Elena was technically supposed to be with Tom
Stefan never met his doppelganger. Tom was Elena's doppelganger, but they never met either. Ditto, with Katherine. Just because they met, doesn't mean they were doppelgangers that were created in "pairs." They were born centuries apart. And Stefan/Elena were soulmates. The whole show is proof?
Sam Hart Elena and Tom (stefans doppelgänger) were born in the same century, they were the pair that was supposed to end up together, Stefan wasn’t supposed to live long enough to meet Elena
@@mothbbe333 Erm, that wasn't your original point? You're claiming that Stefan/Katherine to be doppelgangers of each other's "pairs." There's 400 YEARS between them? Tom/Elena were of similar age, because their birth coincided the way Tessa explained.
And yeah. Vampirism, death, love and freewill does influence the meeting of dopplegangers. So, Nature CAN'T force the doppelgangers to meet more than actually any other two other people can. It doesn't dictate a dopples life.
I like that they didn’t carry over the 1/2 sister story lines. The doppelgänger storyline fits better for this Vampire story.
You can honestly write a book on how different the book series and TV show are.
Elena is blonde with blue eyes, Caroline and Bonnie are both redheads, Jeremy doesn't exist, Jenna is Judith, the town is named Fell's Church, Stefan and Damon are from 1490s Renaissance Italy and not the 1860s Civil War, the list goes on.
Maredith doesnt even exist as a friend of Elena and Bonnie in the show
meredith was also a decendant of monster hunters,with a weapon fashion to hurt/kill every single type of supernatural
@@LolixBelle I don't know if I remember correctly, but wasn't she "half vampire" sort of? In one of the books, it was revealed a vampire had attacked her family and turned her brother, but left her and gave instructions to her family to give her blood sausages..?
The book sounds so bad
@@hey_itz_maya7696 yeah... Tbh honest the best books were the first 2
I’m tempted to read the book just to get some peace on stefans behalf because they did him so wrong :/
literally
So wrong... He spent the whole show sacrificing for Damon 😒
Me too. While i don’t really like Stelena (i prefer Steroline) i might be ok with them being endgame if that means he is happy
Just don't read the ghostwriter books, his ending is so much more disrespectful
Uh 500 year old doppelgänger or half-sister... doppelgänger is way more interesting
Yea but how would kalus or Stefan and Damon get put in there
It kinda makes a bit more sense if they were half sisters as it would explain more on why Katherine hates her
Doppelgangers don't exist in the novel. Elena and Katherine were born half angel half human. Katherine got turned into a vampire by Klaus before she could awaken her angel half. Klaus is also the only original from the novel that made it to the show. Elijah, Rebecca etc don't exist in the novel. Also Klaus isn't a hybrid in the novel, his just an original vampire. Also the original vampires weren't created by witches in the novel and the same goes for the werewolves. They are just as old as the witches in the novel. Also the originals are much more powerful in the novel to the point where witches can't do shit to them aside from angels since angel blood is toxic to them and the wood from the white oak tree.
@@mrkid2451 eh not really..it’s extremely confusing..Katherine has already explained why she hated Elena and that checks out lol (Elena got to live the life she always wanted- plus she got to have Stefan & everyone loved her)
@@calebstephan2083 actually the celestial court rejected her because she was physically very weak as a human.
"Elena isn't nearly as likable a protagonist." I was supposed to like Elena in the tv show?
No, love. Def not!
i loved elena in the show
Elena was definitely better in the books waaay better.
Elena’s character development is almost the opposite in the books. In the books she starts off very much like Caroline at the beginning and then becomes decent (but honestly, still annoying to me). Show Elena starts off pretty good and then becomes annoying.
she was so annoying in the show, my god
Elena in the show did kind of become selfish and annoying to people near the end of the show leaving her friend Bonnie unhappy
yes very annoying
Elena's a shit ...
RIGHT
Bluenetty How was Bonnie's unhappiness the result of Elena's actions? She wasn't the one who killed Enzo, Stefan did.
Bluenetty she didn’t leave her unhappy though
I’ve never read the books but I just want to say: justice for Jocett. And I was pissed when Enzo died since Bonnie was ripped off of happiness for eight seasons.
I wish they would’ve kept Elena personality like the books it would’ve made more sense her switching from brother to brother.
Actually she went out with Damon for a short time but went running back to Stefan after she realized she made a mistake by leaving him. Ps Stefan caught Elena cheating on him with damonin the novel so he broke up with her but she goes running back to him after she realizes she made a mistake by leaving him. Bonnie and Damon become lovers in the novel after Elena ditches him.
Agree so bad 100%
@@calebstephan2083 but people is saying Delena is endgame in the 13 book, please, tell me that's a lie 😢
@ thats wrong
You should of said how Stefan and Damon have different history.
*Spoilers Ahead!*
Like their not even American or from the Civil War but from Florence, Italy Renaissance era in the books.
Serena Parry thats so Interesting. I kind of want to read the books But I’m afraid it will change my view of the show 😅
@@snotterwt it is but well you could just take it as it is. like see them as two seperate stories
@@snotterwt If you really want to read them, go ahead. Both stories are amazing. I read the books way before I watched the show and at the beginning I hated the show for all the differences (seriously, what they said in the video is nothing, they have nothing to do with each other except for the three main characters), but with time I learned to love both precisely because of their differences.
That always bothered me 😅🤣
Should have* or should’ve*
I loved the show so much I hated the ending tbh...
Melissa Garibaldo the ending was shocking 😂
Please who did she end up with between the brothers
Ella melissa Damon :)
Same
Right they killed off everyone 😭
Damon went through a lot and everyone around him telling over and over again that he doesn't deserve to be happy that he doesn't deserve Elena . The nature , universe and the people telling him he won't get to be with Elena. And always making Stefan the better brother , the hero, I think he deserved Elena more. His love for her was so real that the universe be damned. Hence the end was epic.
Elena was not a trophy, she was in fact very insignificant, all she did was cause the mess that Bonnie and others had to clean
Abida Aminzai technically she didn’t cause the mess Tessa did because she created the immortality spell so without her Elena wouldn’t exist so no mess, but then you wouldn’t have a show
all the time in the show everyone would point out how "bad" damon is, how he's a monster with no feelings and how his selfish and always gets things his way but damon was actually one of the most selfless characters ever and its sad to see how people made such a huge bad image for him.
honestly, i think she didn’t deserve neither of the salvatore brothers. I’m not even done watching it, but she knew that if she chose one of them, she would lose the other and possibly ruin the bond of both brothers (not really bond bond, like “oh i love you smsm” but like you get what i mean) and with that information she STILL chose one brother and then went for the other like??? girl, you really don’t need no man. If she really cared enough to not, hm well idk, take that chance of ruining something, then she would’ve pushed whatever those feelings she has for both the brothers aside, Not just for the sake of her losing the other brother, but ruining the bond Stefan and Damon have for each other.
Izumi Devan 100% True
Even if the show was casted very differently, I think all of the actors did a hell of a job. Ian Somerholder, Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev (it takes talent to play two very different personalities convincingly), and Kat Graham, and literally everyone else.
In the books Damon and Stefan kill each other and become vampires
Yeah, they duel and Katherine is actually pure and nice in the book (you know.. before she lost her mind)
@@random_meta That's very true.
@@random_meta She wasn't entirely pure and nice, I mean (spoilers) she did fake her own death when both Stefan and Damon rejected her and called her selfish for choosing both of them lol
I always like katherine's tiger form,white with golden stripes
@@carjohnsxn they didn't exactly reject her... But they did reject the threesome idea, lol
I personally felt bad for her, because she just wanted to love, and be loved by both. She faked her death in order to bring the two brothers close, but it backfired when the idiots killed each other
If Jeremy never existed, I would never have been introduced to the gorgeous hunk of man that is Steven R. McQueen. Just saying....
He is gorgeous lol
Margann Laurissa yes
i actually met him in person at the sls at beverly hills.
@@duhneesy293 so he's a Reptilian Shape shifter just like Donald Trump
You ain't lying sis.
Yeah, in the books Damon was stalking Elena while being in the form of a crow. I kind of wish they had added that into the series.
They did dum dum
@@mayakomanthakkal6806 Not really. The first episode might have eluded to it, but after that it was pretty much forgotten.
YES
👀👀👀
@@nicoleharris1130 🤫
I often straight up forget that Elena and Kath are both played by the same actress. Nina is amazing
I feel like if they added extra powers that they had in the books it would make the show kinda cheesy
Leilani would have been twilight 2.0 , glad they didn’t tho
@@opalmoon2262 no not really because there was only ONE vampire that could read minds and the rest had other abilities
@@opalmoon2262 yes twilight exactly what I was thinking! this is what makes the show different from twilight :)
I think it's good that they didn't stick too much to the book, otherwise the show would be too unrealistic
Totally agree with this
unrealistic ? erm have you watched the show
Actually it wouldn't TVD is supposed to be supernatural show, drama, unrealistic so all these things from the books would make way more sense if they just included it.
agreed, people think the show's all over the place but clearly haven't read the books in a good while xD
V M I ageee if it would’ve had more supernatural beings it just would’ve been to much
The books don’t sound good to compared on what J just watched and cried
I can totally see Bonnie with Damon and Caroline with Klaus.
In the books Caroline is pregnent with Tyler and little after that she became a werewolf.
@Edie Bellingham same
@Edie Bellingham That's it, the best relationships come from people hating watch other or being bestfriends. That's y they are soulmates in the books. The books are better than the series tbh. Also, Stephen was made for Katherine, Elena soulmate is Stephens Doppelganger but he was killed for his blood.
@Edie Bellingham Yess....they look gd as jst friends...
caroline & klaus YES bonnie & damon NO
Also, Damon is like in the 500s in the books, in the show he's 178 so that "eternity of misery" line holds more weight in the books.
This show began when I was in 5th grade and ended when I graduated senior year in HS. I love and miss this show❤️❤️❤️
Same
I watched it since I was 8 and it ended when I was 16😭
Me too
Same here. I was in 5th grade when it started but I started watching in 8th grade so I was 13 and it ended when I was 18
I started watching it when I was 18 and it ended when I was 26. You guys make me feel super old. Lol
In the books Caroline isn't a vampire and she gets pregnant by Tyler.
Alexandra apocalypse she’s actually a werewolf
I hated Tyler so frikin much in the show
Saigie saame
@@saigie3908 I wouldnt say I hated him, but i didnt like him either. He was so hellbent on getting revenge on klaus that he never really served any purpose.
Wow
I’m glad that In the tv series Elena and Caroline were friends at first but then developed into best friends and had wonderful chemistry. I don’t Think I would like Elena and Caroline to be enemies.....they’re my fav best friends
The novels remind me of Twilight. The vibe is so much similar to twilight. To be honest they should make a vamlire diaries movie but they should follow the books. The tv series literally doesn't follow anything from the books. The only similarities is the characters first names and that's it.
Elena in the book sounds like human Caroline from the show
Who else loves katherine more than elena?????
Edit: the reason i think people like katherine more is because she never played the victim card. Elena always did even though sometimes she was in the wrong. I think people call elena a crybaby because a lot of her relationships weren't very deep and connected until she loses those people. For an example i felt like elena wasn't even close with jeremy until that scene when they get high and when he died. But both characters have been trough alot and they just deal with it in a different way. If anything like that would have happwnded to me i would cry and cry waaayyyyyy more than elena.
in the books elena dies trying to save damon and stefan from katerine's compulsion just to come back to life as a maiden and confront klaus.
caroline got pregnant with tyler and he's a dickhead
Katherine is way better but I still like Elena
Prefer Elena,don't like bitches no matter how bad their upbringing was
Me! She’s always been better than than her! R.I.P Queen 🔥❤️😢
At least Katherine isn’t full of poop, like Elena is.
Reasons why I didn’t like most of the characters besides Bonnie:
-Bonnie sacrificed herself so many times
-She was selfless and wanted a happy ending
-She DESERVED a happy ending
- Nobody cared that Bonnie sacrificed herself so many times for THEM
- She could’ve had her happy ending if it wasn’t for Elena being selfish most of the times, (and for Stefan killing her Endgame, but he turned off his humanity)
- And she did had the choice to be selfish but she decided to save her “friends”
- She’s a badass, and one of the most strongest characters
- I love my Bonnie Bennet in the show she deserved EVERYTHING
(I like most of the characters it’s just that I like Bonnie more than all of them)
Elena being selfish???? lmaoooo
madeinyusei - elena is selfish asf. She acts like she cares but in the end she knows everyone will do anything for her and often starts shit she knows she can’t finish but she doesn’t care because someone will fix it for her. Almost all the problems in the show result from her
@@madeinyusei-8708 she was sooooo selfish it annoyed me to the coreeee
Saigie yeah and the sad part is that she didn’t get her happy ever after with Enzo. 😭😭
Mary Kuman FRR
Just glad they added the originals and casted these cast !!
Nina Dorev basically played multiple character so well that you forgot they are the same person ; Elena, Katherine, no humanity Elena, Amara, Tatia...
It would of been really weird to make Damon and Bonnie be together,I’m glad they kept it as a friendship
Ik It's weird because of them being bags but some good relationship usually start out with people hating eachother or them being bsfs. I see why they were soulmates in the books.. Also, Stephen was made for Katherine, Elena soulmate is Stephens Doppelganger but he was killed for his blood.
Yesss
In the series maybe, but in the book they are totally for each other lol
um..n e ways.
The show should've stayed true to the source material. And the actors of Bonnie and Damon had great onscreen chemistry. I think the show was afraid their predominately all-white audience would not approve of their lead star being with a black woman, smh
“Mean and selfish and shallow and a lot”
So post vampire Elena?
I was gonna say Caroline from season 1😂
Malachi Owens *season 4 and 5 Elena. I feel like Elena actually improved a lot in season 6.
In the books. Elena was shallow and mean because she was the most popular girl in school and she always got everything she wanted. When she met Stephan, she got humbled because he didn't want her at first and then when they were together she knew it meant taking a lot of public criticism to be with him. She started bad, but became more likeable.
@@Serenity-gp1ie just like Caroline
more like a mixture of Caroline and Rebekah
I'm so glad that they added The Originals Family, TVD just felt so empty without the Originals...
They said
"Elena sucks, let's make her better."
But she still kinda sucked after season 3.
Hahaha i agree 100%
I over her after season 4 cuz she was with Damon lmao
Yep. Elena was really annoying after Season 3.
@@ryrybozzum128 same 😂
elena didnt even suck in the books, she was so much more badass.

I’m mad ! Bon Bon and Damon were a couple and you did this to them ? I can’t
Anahita E.m what!!!!!! That explains why Damon and Bon Bon has such a close relationship on the show!!!!❤️😱
They weren't really a couple. In the books Bonnie really likes Damon and he is affectionate towards her and cares for her a lot but they never actually get together. He still wants Elena first and foremost.
In the books Bonnie first kiss damon in alaric's party... 😘😘😘
Anahita E.m they were never a couple there lol they had a bit of romantic moments and close relationships but they never became a couple. He wanted elena real bad like her body and soul in the books.
I think that the books Damon doesn't really love Elena, he just want her because she looks like Katherine but with more attitude and to upset Stefan. For me, Bonnie is his true soulmate.
My worst ex didn't break my heart like Julie Plec did.
righttt 😂😂😂😂.
Same here
Stelena fans now reading the book to get what they always wanted 🤣
😂😂😂
Nah I'm finna read them for bamon 😂😭
am i going to hell for laughing at this????????
Your not wrong 😂

Book Version Klaus Dies = Meh
TV Series & Klaus And His Family Got A Spin-off And It's On = Outstanding.
His Daughter Also Got A Spin-off = Nice.
Klaus died at the end of the originals
Are you serious? 🤨
@@jayk2613 in the book Klaus stays evil and doesn't become good at all. He end up getting killed by ingesting angel blood which is toxic to original vampires.
@@calebstephan2083 nice
I read all the books, and I remember enjoying them. Then again, I read them when I was quite young. I remember loving the storyline where Bonnie and Damon get stuck in the Dark dimension, the kitsune storyline was pretty interesting too.
The only changes I hated from book to Tv show was Bonnie and Damon being together (cause they had mad chemistry in the show) and the extra powers that the vampires had.
The vampires had more power in the books than what was portrayed in the series.
Evelyn Harber yeah, it annoyed me that they changed that in the show. I remember Damon could turn into a crow in the books, and Katherine was some kind of big cat but I don’t remember if it was a lion or tiger or something
@@hali_55 Tiger and owl for Katherine.
Cypresssina right! That’s it.
@@hali_55 and a white kitten
In the books they is no Original family only Klaus
well, the originals in the books aren't related at least. There are more of them, but they even have other names.
But we wouldn't have The Originals series and now Legacies if they weren't created
What!? No Elijah😭
Okay I haven’t read it, but I swear to god, if I don’t see Elijah, I will jump out a window.
Damn that makes quite a difference
I honestly feel like after the originals left the show became kinda borin
I wish they had stuck to the books when it came to Meredith. I love her character in the books so much.
Meredith was the only sane and likeable character in books but they really had to cut her out
“If you’ve seen the show, you’d know that Elena and Damon are totally endgame.”
Me: mother fu-
They aren’t endgame because Damon and I are endgame 😏😏
lmao true
Stelena lover here. I feel they had much more chemistry and a less toxic relationship. Also, Damon is mine, ok.
Me: damn I wish I hadn’t given up on the show :(
@@YM-qb6gh omg you shouldn't!! please please tell me at which season you gave up and ill tell you if it gets better. i've watched the show prob like 9 times by now and sometimes it gets really boring but you just have to focus on a thing that you really like (a ship, plot or character) i promise this show is v good
I read Vol. 1-4 in the 90s. I tried reading the new books when they came out, but rage quit after the first. I liked the series and still wish Caroline and Klaus ended up together 😭
When Elena started with the baby talk.... Ugh. I try to pretend the books after the original 4 never happened.
❤
I love this cast. Everyone was perfect for their roles.
Idk.. Elena had a great character development in the books. From mean girl to selfless, so I prefer the books. Some storylines from the books, I'd love to see on tv
I agree
“Celtic druidess..” reminds me of Teen Wolf
haha yess the vet
Hahaha yes 😂
That show definitely had the best supernatural creatures
Teen wolf! ❤
Should have mentioned that in the books Elena dies and on the show Elena literally lives Happily Ever After with Damon
What about Dark Reunion?
she dies?? please explain :o
@@ChrissiESommer she dies killing Katherine, but Bonnie's powers allow Elena to speak with her in her dreams. She eventually gets resurrected as an angel with none of her human memories.
yeah,she was human,vampire then ghost and then guardian.
@@LolixBelle wow.. so she ends up immortal with stephan in the books?
Everyone saying they never really enjoyed Elena’s character but I actually enjoyed her character
Ariana Serrato this sounds crazy, but Caroline was the character I liked the least 😭. It always seemed like she wanted things that Elena had?? idkkk
@@koko.444 YES !!! YOUR TASTE>>> I HATE CAROLINE
@@koko.444 Sameee....i hated Caroline
Same I liked Elena's character
Yup same
elena was so annoying in the show. i’ve never read the books, but in the beginning when she started having feelings for damon, she got onto him after he confessed. then, again when rebekah offered to take away stefan’s memories of loving her to save him the pain, she was offended and hated the idea. but when damon died, she took away her memories (selfishly.) not to mention that she’s always the damsel in distress. she also got upset when stefan told her she had never seen him when he wasn’t in love with her (therefore saying he didn’t love her anymore) but she slept with his brother.
The books are why I was so mad! I wanted stelena &Bamon to be endgame. I felt like the chemistry changed between damon & elena when the real life couple nina & ian broke up. they were never the same. Plus the Bonnie & Damon growth as a friendship was sooo good i would of love to see them as a couple.
Neci Mercer can’t agree more
Completely agree!
Nah
@@lisaarnett5812 yes. Wouldve been more interesting or damon with katherine they were more compatible
I wanted to see Damon and Bonnie it would’ve been interesting and could’ve added more to the show
I shipped Bamon and Stelena _so_ much in the books
xLonelyDreamerx YEs thank you
Same
xLonelyDreamerx
Hell! I shipped them in the movies!😂
no, bonny and damon is a trash ship. i think Delena is a better ship.
@@g0rybtch personally, I don't like delena.
It was intriguing on the show for the first two seasons but it died afterwards (for me)
The fact that Elena is basically just Katherine in the books
Now that we are being honest, I NeVER liked Matt
we hate Matt here
Totally agree, and Jeremy was kinda annoying too.
Mat , Elena , Caroline , Rebekah were all annoying to me
Matt was annoying yeah but to me he was largely just kind of there.
TikToks Kingworld.4 I love how they straight up get rid of him when they didn’t have anything else for him to do.
Bonnie as a celtic druidess would have been sooo dope same with angels!!! 😭🙌🏻
Same but I still loved Kat's portrayal of her. Maybe they could've done that..
@@98tam true, plus the show would be sm less diverse without Kat 😂😳
@@kellygarris4277 which is realistic if people would be honest to themselves. Diversity should not be more important than a good storyline or character.
@@jamiemohan2049 fair point! Most books are adapted a lot tho, she could've still been a celtic druidess
@@kellygarris4277 Celtic only if she was of descent. After all, my people are white. Bonnie from the books and I share the same last name, Mc Cullough. So I was upset when they changed her heritage, race and last name as well as many of her story plots.
Except Elena isn't likable in the tv series either
She might be worse
I'd say season one Elena is the best written and then gets drastically worse. Opposite in the books lol
@@samhart4205 Nah I love Elena as a vampire she was more loose and independent
@@biancahercules1257 I'm not talking about whether I preferred her as a vampire or human. I'm talking about the overall writing for Elena's characterisation was awful. Literally all over the place.
i actually love the book elena
I always wanted to see a vampire diaries ending where elena winds up with Stefan so I might read the books
Same here this is the reason why m gonna read the book
Books are good
Read when I was 12 back in early 90s this books where before twilight.
They actually planned for Elena to end up with neither Stefan or Damon in the show and have both of then sacrifice themselves for her and then the last scene Of the show would have been them watching over her in the afterlife as she went to marry mat Donovan or become a doctor but since Nina left while Elena was with Damon they were never able to bring Back the love triangle
AAAAA I WISH IT ENDED LIKE THAT-
I saw TVD i clicked...
Periodt
same
Spoiler alerr for the book!!!
Missed out the Dark dimension plot, the Damon being resurrected, the Kitsune plot, No mention about ley lines, and Elena destined to become a guardian?? And how she becomes immortal??
Caroline getting pregnant with werewolf babies... oh so much. But i guess the list is as good as it gets...
Treat both mediums as separate identities just sharing a few similarities!
It was really sad how the guardians scheduled for the car accident to happen, just so Elena would become a guardian. However, I really liked her how twisted that was
The Kitsune plot was one of my favorites, it's... sad that they didn't adapt that.
@@martelraykin Mine too. Malakai and his sister were creepy asf 😱😂 And so sneaky and strong 😮
Can someone explain the kitsune plot?? Sounds awesome
Caroline turned into my fav charactr but sad to hear that she was less imprtnt in novel
I liked that she was less important in the books. I hated Caroline in the show
@Janhavi Kumthekar I've always liked elena. I never really liked goody two shoe characters that are dispicted as being a nice innocent girl that gets along with everyone and than has to deal with tragedy. That is a Mary sue and what Julie plec did was basically make elena a Mary sue when she changed her personality in the series. She did the same to Caroline because she wasn't supposed to be a friendly person although I didn't see Caroline as friendly in the series much either because she was still judgemental as hell.
Anyways I thought it was fresh that they gave elena character flaws in the book and made her shallow and she grew as a character as time went on. Also her relationship with katherine was different in the novels as well. Lj Smith knew how to create well rounded characters and Julie plec destroyed them by copying buffy and making tvd like the buffy series. There was even scenes where she copied buffy word for word. Like when she was taken by klaus for the ritual in season 2. That dialogue was stolen word for word in a buffy episode.
My point is that I loved Elena's character in the book but I'll always hate Caroline until she changed for the better when she had her kids although I still hated her in the series because she became a backstabbing bitch by saying klaus wasn't the villain in her story even though he harmed all her loved ones meaning she must not have cared about them at that point so she was a backstabbing cunt.
I think the put Elena's character into Caroline. Caroline fits the novel version of Elena perfectly. From physical appearance to her character.
Knowing both I can't decide which Elena I hated more😂😂😂
Red Truth omg Elena was awesome in the series
@@renasweid560 after becoming a vampire, she was so not...
I loved book Elena because she was NOT our typical "nice girl, super likely and there is nothing bad to say about her" type. The scene where she saw Stefano the first time, and he did not even look at her, was hilarious! This also left a lot of room for her to grow. Series Elena was just another boring stereotype of a protagonist. Also I fell in love with book Bonnie so I was not down with the series Bonnie. Don't know about the rest of the series tho as I stopped watching after 2 Episodes and just read the books again.
Yeah they totally Mary Sued her
I also loved book Katherine better than in the show. She was completely crazy and acted more like a little girl, even kind of funny though.
EXACTLY. and she wasnt even MEAN?? like i HATE when people say she was mean, she wasnt. book elena wasnt a bully or mean, she was just popular and confident and strong. she had her petty moments, but thats what made her realistic. she was still a caring person at the end of the day, but she wasnt a doormat, thats why book elena is >>>>
It would be more challenging to do a "Top 10 similarities between The Vampire Diaries book and TV Show"
I had some strong reservations going in and threw my hands up alot in the first seasons. Kinda like Buffy post movie into the TV series. I'm still impressed the Salvatore name is still churning out new seasons through Legacies. My favorite moments in the books is when Damon backstabs villains he makes a deal with and my favorite two pages in any novel is Damon rejecting Katherine.
I didn’t finish watching the show. I started to get annoyed by how every time a character died they came back to life, crappy writing.
That being said, I loved Caroline’s character development in the story. I hated her at first but fell in love with her when she became a vampire. I also enjoyed the original characters, and there’s something about Nina Dobrev I enjoy (I think it’s her voice) even if at times I found Elena to be annoying. But Katerina aka Katherine was awesome.
But of all the characters who did come back Jenna wasn't one of them and I was low key mad about it cause Jenna was one of the ones who did not deserve to die at all.
I hated Caroline. I prefer that she had less screen time because it took away from Bonnie's story development
As soon as I started this video, I thought, "Gee, I wish they had this for The 100" Naturally, I checked right away, and sure enough....there it is, a year old.
These are characters I've shipped together:
Elena+Damon
Jeremy+Anna
Ric+Jenna
Klaus+Caroline
Damon+Bonnie (just for a little while)
Bonnie+ Enzo
I thought those were all pretty cute
I agree with you but also i think bonnie and damon are better in being friends
Noooo, klaus and HAYLEY
Yes ofcorse, leave poor stefan completly out of this
I wasn’t going to read it until I found out Elena chooses Stefan
Me tooo
Tbh I'm so confused. I read the first 4 books befote watching the series (those books are way better than the show) and I didn't wanted to continue cause I heard people saying Delena is endgame at the end 😭
this is one of the rare occasion where the show is better than the book (in my opinion)
the music and the clip of damon and elena had me crying, tvd was an era
stelena shippers : join the chat
Delena shippers : left the chat
While it does seem weird to have Nina dobrev (who has brunette hair and brown eyes) play as Elena, I will say that I’m glad they gave Elena’s part to Nina because Nina is the ultimate mental breakdown queen! Season 4 episode 16, when Jeremy died and she had a meltdown and almost set her house on fire, Nina SLAYED that heartbreaking scene 🙌👌💔
