Gotta admit as vanilla as Mal can be, "You will die alone. And I will die in her arms." was metal as fuck. Honestly, so what if his entire personality and arc revolves around Alina? After all the female love interests who only exist to bang the male lead, I say we ladies deserve a few simps of our own.

I love the show, but I feel like they only focussed on Kaz' trauma with touching naked skin and forgot about Inej having difficulties being touched because of her sexual abuse at the menagerie. Because for me thats what made them perfect for each other, their bond of trust and human connection surpasses the physical needs and it's the only reason either of them has any interest to work up to touching each other, the reason why they want to be able to be close to each other in the first place. That's why I can't get on board (lol) with Inej and Tolya, it feels like it cheapens what they have.

@@siyas2510 I don’t find Kaz as toxic at all. To me it’s obvious he’s pushing her away because he knows he can’t physically be with her. I guess it depends what you mean by toxic. As in not opening up? He gives her freedom, leaves alina out of love and respect for Inej, and looses his club just to take her on a mission etc. As for Inej and Toyla, I see the appeal but one second look between Toyla making eyes and Inej clearly still in love with Kaz isn’t convincing yet. Their story definitely translates better on screen in my opinion lol. Kaz’s inner thoughts are romantic sure but what comes out of his mouth is literally to Inej: “you’re an investment” that would look more toxic to me. Kaz in the show tells Inej “no saint ever watched over me not like you have” lmaoo book Kaz would never.

@@artemis1796 but it's not implied. Leigh has been pretty straight forward with characters sexuality (jesper, nina etc) Tolya having no interest in relationships doesn't mean he'd never have any. Many people have that mindset irl and they're not arorace. Of course there's absolutely no problem with headcanoning him that he is. But fans could also claim he's asexual (and asexual people still have romantic relationships) so again, it's up to interpretation until Leigh confirms it. I've seen many fans being angry about the show "erasing" it and people shipping tolya with other characters and that's just ridiculous because it's a simply headcanon
I loved the ending I feel like they finally treated ALL the charachters as if they had personalities and letting them split up and follow their own desires was such a good decision
My main complaint about this season is I feel like they put the majority of the Crow’s character growth and pivotal moments in this season where they were just side characters and the mismashed B plot. Now that we’re Finally going to focusing on them what’s left to do? We already know everything about them and their growth has caught up to where it was at the end of crooked kingdoms. It would’ve been nice to see a lot of that where it felt more essential to the plot instead of just filler for Elaina’s story.

I mean we still have all of Wylan's trauma to go through and we haven't met Jesper's Dad so I can already see them drumming up the parallels between the two fathers. And the relationship that Wylan and Kaz have is really interesting to me. Kaz becomes a mentor figure and kind of (not really?) big brother figure to Wylan, which is awesome cause it's like Kaz becomes the older brother that was robbed from him. Also, I don't know what they are going to do with Nina and Matthias. I can see them keeping it the same as the books but the whole thing with Pekka Rollins might have skewed things a bit. Honestly the fact that Pekka Rollins is already in jail and might try to retaliate against Kaz is just a huge wild card and it makes me nervous. I would honestly love it if we saw more of what happened to Inej's family and her life before being taken to Ketterdam. We get very few glimpses into her background throughout season one and two. And if there are some sweet moments between her and Kaz after they settle all their scores that would make my heart happy. And then there is the actual heist itself. The only thing that I would improve in the show is the actual plans that the crows think of. I want Kaz and his plans to be even more grand and clever so that it would be closer to book Kaz. So to me that is a lot to explore between 6-8 episodes. I really, really hope they get their own season. Please Netflix!
FINALLY I could not stand anymore people complaining about the ending. YES it is different, so what?? It is much better than the book ending and sets up perfectly for what comes next. Mal finally getting something for himself, alina dealing with A DARK SIDE and the crows, of course. I just think they played their cards very well (i could even accept a sort of friendship between tolya and inej) and I am super excited even for the shodow and bone plot. I will be so disappointed if the show gers cancelled bc people can't accept it is not EXACTLY like the books

I think there are different groups of people complaining about it. There are the ones who didn't like Alina getting shadow powers and becoming queen of ravka, because they think it undermines Zoya and that Alina apparently loved being ordinary and settle down on a farm with mal (they are so scared of dark Alina). But then there are people like me, who liked the ending, but who do not believe the writers will do justice to Alinas character in the future, since they already sidelined her so much this season for the sake of the crows. And the fact that they are only talking about getting the spin off (not season 3), I have no faith in them 🤷

I think it's good to be different because people can be surprised by their reading experience, if they want to read the books. I haven't read the SOC duology, but I agree with others that the show improved immensely the plot of the Grisha trilogy. I like the trilogy, but it is a little bit dated, and I don't like the female rivalry. Seen Alina Genya and Zoya together saying they will rebuild Ravka was an excellent example of the improvements the show did to the source material.

"Every time we cut to him, I forget he's in this" about matthias in jail…enormous mood
"He lives for her, instead of living with her." Well said!
all of us: wow mal's going to get his own personality! mal: assumes someone else's identity all of us: well nevermind
mal was the third amplifier cuz of what the firebird represents (rebirth and resurrection). morozova brought his daughter back to life (phoenix rising from its ashes), and the merzost descended to Mal, since he's related to morozova through that daughter. it's also why mal's whole life was Alina, cuz of the Like Calls to Like.
I struggle with Tolya/Inej because Tolya's implied aromantic in the books, and I was really looking forward to having that representation. As much as I love Inej, it's kind of a bummer if they go that way. But I guess I can accept it! I really liked the changes to the ending and I'd love to see more of Mal, Inej, Tolya and Tamar being awesome on the seas together.
I don’t care enough about the S&B changes but it made me so mad that they inclueded Crooked Kingdom scenes and plotlines already, rushing them and giving it zero emotional impact - emotional impact we could have had if they just wrote a proper backstory and left future scenes alone

i have been waiting for this forever omg its finally here!
As someone who never read any of the books, it was pretty enjoyable! (I actually didn't like S1 all that much and i was going to decide if i would continue after S2.) I felt like the Crow scenes in S1 were a bit boring but i loved them this season! S2 felt like there were higher stakes, they weren't afraid to show the darker parts of the show, and the characters were way more interesting. I think the characters all have more substance. The dialogue, effects, and especially the fight choreography are still a bit rough (the weird sound effects and slow motion with Inej fighting that guy on the roof made me crack up). Overall, I like the ending and the direction it's going! I'll definitely be watching season 3.
I LOVE the new ending for Alina
so excited to see what you think about the other episodes. I was so disappointed after finishing it because they skipped so much and changed almost everything. 🙁
oof watching this way late and seeing y’alls reaction to the ending after it’s been cancelled hurts so bad 😭😭 netflix will not know peace from me until they change their minds…
Great video! I agree, I really liked the season, and also- Genya does deserve to be happy! She has had enough trauma! And Wesper is the best!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. YOU GUYS REACTING TO TOLYA X INEJ IS EXACTLY HOW I REACTED ASDGDHJKK. Two hot asians....it just makes sense... ok but totally with you guys on the ending and changes I looooved the ending the last few eps especially were bomb!!!! and I'm so glad they're mixing things up with the characters and so here for the privateer boat storyline. Also your Nikolai thirst is highkey relatable. REAL ONES GET IT (also cindy is so right nikolai would top in the mal situation). Why is everyone so hot like damn
Nina is the MVP

If two characters are in proximity and have a pulse, Ellias will ship them 🤣🤣
Not gonna lie, I wasn't a fan of the ending, but I can live with it as long as they don't steal all of Zoya's KoS/RoW storylines for Alina next season. I s2g if they do I will not be responsible for my actions.
Ellias is so me😂 lmfao and Cindy is not into anything he’s into I’m crying. Don’t worry Ellias I relate hardcore!😭
I showed the characters to a friend once and asked her to ship without any context and her most out of pocket one was Kaz and The Darkling😂
Its true Wylan and Jesper were very rushed. They should’ve shown reasons for them to fall in love with each other. We didn’t even see their first kisss
ellias and I seem to have the same taste in men and it's so funny every time he makes juicy comments. Also I felt so validated when you shipped Nikolai with his friend!! like they had such gooood chemistry and they would've been so refreshing as a gay couple instead of the boring love triangle with Alina. let her be with Mal already, i never cared about their romance anyway.
I've given up on caring ab book accuracy for the most part cause imo the s&b books were super mid anyway, so in that respect I actually really liked s2 cause I found all the changes to be super entertaining. Is it the best show ever? No. Does it have amazing writing? Also no, but it's really fun and that's what I care about at the end of the day.
The editing is so fcking funny I’m crying 😭😂

Ngl I was severely disappointed by this series, felt like an hours long highlight reel missing highlights. Maybe I’m exposing my geography degree but it really annoyed me how the Fold was ALWAYS only a couple of kilometres away while in Ravka, made the world feel so small. I’d hope that if there’s another series they’ll focus on just Crooked Kingdom cos writers have not done well with such a large cast but doesn’t seem that’ll be the case.
CINDY CALLING DENYA CORNY SENT ME OVER THE EDGE EVERY TIME

I’m pretty sure they know since they read the books. It’s just their sense of humor
7:31 duuuude her character in the film D&D Honor Among Thieves she literally looks like Voldemort 🤣
I hate this season so much it's PAINFUL 😭
20:18 Thank you for saying it, Cindy! They was no proper build-up to their relationship at all... Though that might just be me comparing the show to the books. I'm kinda jealous of Ellias for having the benefit of not having read the books ^^'
I LOVED how you both were delighted about the possibility of Tolya and Inej. I'm intrigued too!
I didn’t like it :( I thought it was way too fast. I felt like there was no character development. We didn’t really see enough of Mal and the struggles he faced. Kaz did not seem like a strong enough character either, not like in the book. 😢 I wish it was a bit more slowed down.

Yeah, I think the writers would greatly benefit from slowing the pace down a little, but they are being rushed by Netflix. They never know when they are going to get a next season so they try to cram as much as possible into every new season they have. If Netflix was more reliable than I think we would have a better paced show..
