Honestly? I hated how she killed the Darkling in the show. Though I didnt like the concept of Alina losing her powers, I found the ending in the book very moving, Darkling’s death moment was epic. Alina killed him but... mourned him, cried for him... He didn’t want to be alone... so it was her mercy... In the show she was powerful but kind of... full of rage till the end (I’ll destroy you bastard! Attitude) don’t you think so? Where were her ambigious feelings for him? She craved him despised him longed for him and hated him and... felt sympathy for him, it waaas so complex and I liked that.

What really pisses me off now is that Darklina stans will get even more comments about “being into abusive relationship and toxicity wtv”. Because that’s indeed what Darklina was reduced to in the show.

We didn’t get ANY Darklina scenes from the books. None. Sure we got some classic quote but they were a travesty of what they really were in the books.

The chapel scene? Nop. The “Let me, it isn’t real?” LOL NOP. The “no one knew his name to curse or extol, so I spoke it softly, beneath my breath”?!?! NOOOP. I guess we should’ve seen it coming with them ruining their best scenes with the horrible “Call me Alexsander” of S1.

Darklina S2 has no tension and I’m sorry but Ben Barnes or not, the Darkling in the show is not the Darkling, he’s a pitiful creature pining over a girl with no other agenda. He seemed so weak to me while he’s supposed to be this all Powerful Being for Saints sake. Darklina’s relationship in the books was filled with tension, with an understanding, even if reluctantly from Alina. It was conflictual but felt right at the same time. I saw none of that in the show. And if I hadn’t read the books, I would’ve never been a Darklina fan after that horrible season. They really went for the “Darkling bad bad Alina good good” (except for the end but that makes even less sense).

… (also can we talk about that whole scene with the Darkling in Mal’s dream? That was so ridiculous. He can’t visit Alina anymore but Mal yes? Wtf😅)

Yeeeeeah! I agreee so much. I would have never been a Darklina fan if it had been like that in the books. A Darkling was a psycho with obsession xd Alina wanted to destroy the bastard. Chapel scene, let me scene, how could they... the whole thether thing was distorted... The whooole complexity of their relationship, ambigious feelings, love, hatred, desire, longing, solitude, there were no other like us and never will be - Alina also knew that.

itsnotaproblem-itsapassion

Yeah I couldn’t have believed they would’ve managed to make an ending even worse than in the books but they actually did haha

Alina and Mal’s love story was pointless because “now that I’m not an amplifier anymore I don’t love you”, all of the Crows storyline is messed up (am I the only one who’s upset about Jesper and Wylan fan service? Where’s the slow burn we had to endure for two damn books?!?!), David’s dead waaaay too early, Zoyalai is far from being a thing and Alina is definitely going on a power trip (ding ding rings any bells? Not like the Darkling didn’t told you so). And also if the whole plan was for Alina to keep her powers (which I’m all for usually), then why not keep the angst and tension btw her and DL because he would be the only one for her in the end? As in the only one alive? (Nevermind that whole cough dying thing, that’s a show’s invention).

If the show runners wanted to change the whole plot of S&B only so they could keep the crows, why not adapt Six of Crows directly then?! Cause now they ruined both stories in my book.

Anyway I’m pissed 🙄

Aditionally, they kind of softened the Darkling in the season 1 provided his backround story just to... make him a total psycho in season 2 (cutting his mother finger off 🤮 choking Alina 😧 for God’s sake...) Let’s take it to the extremes! No ambiguity! And let’s make Alina an enraged saviour of Ravka who kills him without any remorse ”I am not like you” yeah babe and you just killed him in cold blood. No mercy, no single tear. I really didn’t like the ending in the books and I wanted Alina to be powerful but that death scene was respectful, sad and epic I hated it sooo much and I cried but I thought: chapeu bas mrs Bardugo, I didn’t want any of that happened but his death scene 👏 was a masterpiece. What is more, I liked torned Alina who also felt greed solitude and KNEW the risk - in the show no doubts, no fears about her own greed and her own righetoeusness paradoxically made her cross the line. Alina was truly on the bright side because of her COMPASSION and SELF-REFLECTION ”and who would be my balance?” She hated him, loved him and sympathised with him ”in this moment he was just a boy - brilliant, blessed with too much power, burdened by eternity.

Tether part - what the heck? They ruined the whole concept of that. Everybody knows, Mal&Darkling tether 🤯 Darkling’s hand cut off whaat?

Cough dying thing - he was eternal for God’s sake!!!! He had Nichevo'yas EVEN after his ressurection and he WAS ABLE to command them! He was exhausted when he used merzost yeah but that was it. No cancer type dying thing. Ughh

Yeah I have to post my review. Then my hidden on my fanfic. My katharsis.

Then my own novel with a good complex villain character. No nonsense. There are no bad immoral characters, just badly-written 🖤

ALINA STARKOV and ALEKSANDER MOROZOVA SHADOW AND BONE — 2x08: “No Funerals” (2023)

Honestly? I hated how she killed the Darkling in the show. Though I didnt like the concept of Alina losing her powers, I found the ending in the book very moving, his death was kind of epic. Alina mourned him, cried for him... In the show she was powerful but kind of... full of hatred till the end (I’ll destroy you bastard! Attitude) don’t you think so? Where were her ambigious feelings for him? She craved him despised him longed for him hated him and wanted him and... felt sympathy for him, it waaas so complex and I liked that.

Honestly? I hated how she killed the Darkling in the show. Though I didnt like the concept of Alina losing her powers, I found the ending in the book very moving, Darkling’s death moment was epic. Alina killed him but... mourned him, cried for him... He didn’t want to be alone... so it was her mercy... In the show she was powerful but kind of... full of rage till the end (I’ll destroy you bastard! Attitude) don’t you think so? Where were her ambigious feelings for him? She craved him despised him longed for him and hated him and... felt sympathy for him, it waaas so complex and I liked that.
