Sana introduced na Si Gargan pre Emre's death especially kung balak din pala nila na pagrebeldehin against Devas si Aquil, knowing na the reason would be Emre not letting them live again, so parang walang kwenta na magrebel especially tapos na Ang laban and Wala na Ang pag rerebeldehan.

Another with Ybrahima.... Sorry, ang pangit ng name, I know it's to honor her parents, pero Wala bang iba? They already fumbled with who her father is, and honestly, I pity her a lot... She doesn't deserve Agn/m as a father, she doesn't deserve that coercive rapist, piece of shit, as a father, and she doesn't deserve to be named after a cheater (sorry teh, I hate Ybrahim being a cheater).

Yun ngaaaaa kung kelan bathaluman na si Danaya saka pa siya magda-drama ng ganyan? Disappointed din ako na YBRAHIMA talaga pinangalan sa anak ni Lira? Sana pinangalan nalang after a Philippine deity para mas ma appreciate pa ng mga tao. Actually hindi ko nga rin bet 'yung names nina Flamarra and Terra like kung nag saliksik lang sila ang daming mas magagandang pangalan kesa dyan. Tsaka ganyan ba ka-hate ng writers si Lira na tinatarantado na nga nila nung 2017 binaboy pa nila ngayong 2026?

Nakakadiri talaga yung sumulat sa character ni Agnem. Ginawang tragic yung past para justifiable yung ginawa niya kina Lira and Mira tapos binigyan pa ng character redemption without actually suffering the consequence of what he did? Hindi man lang pinaghiganti ni Amihan 'yung nangyari sa anak niya considering how protective she is pagdating kay Lira? Tas si Daron ginawang green flag kasi pogi tsaka naging mabait after niya tegiin si Lira?

Tapos si Mitena na may potential naman sana na maging mabait at tulungan 'yung mga sang'gre kung naisulat lang talaga ng maayos yung character niya. Kaso the writers prefer to redeem shitty male characters eh 🤷 nawala na 'yung women empowerment theme ng show

[iris-sistibly]

Ybrahima is such a cringe name.

They didn't even think of a prettier name for Lira's daughter. Also, they denied us of Lira and Cassandra's moments.

Also, imagine being ✨pursued✨ only because they want to make babies with you. They don't give a shit about you, how you feel, what you think, what you want, THEY just want your genes.

Adamyan men are giving me the ick. Except nunong Imaw of course.

[iris-sistibly]

Encantadia is thankfully ending this week

So...I'm guessing that the 4 sisters are gonna turn into goddesses, which the 4 of them deserve.

Lira all of a sudden comes ✨back to life✨ again for the 1000th time only to continue her rapist's bloodline, and Armea will divorce Solidarius to marry the man who killed her sister. What will happen to Mira idk, probably magiging ninang ng anak ni Lira ganern. Terra is most probably going to inherit Lireo's throne, Flamarra and Solidarius will rule over Hathoria, Adamus and Deia are probably gonna settle somewhere in Adamya or Minea-ve and they all live happily ever after, yay!

Mitena with either die as a villain with no character redemption or she will die as Terra's ✨friend✨ I no longer care at this point

Honestly, idk why and who the fuck approved this storyline but pleaseeeee if y'all are planning to bring back this series in a few years or even a decade:

1. Pls do not hire writers who don't know what the fuck they're writing.

2. Give us fresh ideas, exciting storylines, with strong characters or at least gandahan niyo naman 'yung character build up shuta

3. Nakakaumay na 'yung love teams promise.

4. STOP romanticising SA, and murder it's fucking 2026 jusko naman! Tang inang 'yan masyado unrealistic 'yung reactions ni Lira and Armea, it's like saying rapists and murderers can get a free pass as long as they do something ✨good✨ I'm not saying they can't be forgiven (it's up to the victim really), I'm saying crimes like that SHOULD be punished. Agnem deserves to die, but Lira doesn't deserve to give birth to her rapist's child, in fact NO woman deserves to. And Daron? I don't fucking care if he was acting under Mitena's orders, he took away innocent lives, he never suffered half of what Mitena went through and he gets to become king of Sapiro? Really? Just like that?

And yes I will never shut up about this.

5. Bring back Direk Mark Reyes, he's the only one who actually knows Encantadia by heart.

6. Don't just pay attention on the numbers, give us a fucking show that's worth watching. Y'all only care about the hype and money.

how is it not surprising that Pirena's armor is still red despite being "dead" and not white and gold like Amihan's armor? that said, it's still bittersweet seeing the og sangres all together and Amihan is not wearing her gem colors cause she's been dead for a long time, like I miss seeing her wear blue and her blue armor

Yes, her blue armour was iconic, I would have loved to see Kylie wear that costume for the last time. But I'm just glad that the show is gonna end, a content creator on tiktok said that the saving grace of the show was DarMea, but I'm still not buying that crap. I also hate that they wasted so much time on the sinaunang kambal diwa thing when they could have just introduced the spirit animals earlier in the show.

Fans waited for years for this show and they gave us a crappy storyline with mediocre characters, also I will never understand why the writers would choose to redeem a rapist and a murderer's characters but not Mitena's?

[iris-sistibly]

I honestly don't know what their plans are with Solidarius, one time he's a loyal soldier to Sapiro then was forced to become king and a husband, and the next thing he becomes a "red flag" by showing his ✨possessive✨ side, which simply means that he turns into a bitch when his position is being threatened...OR when his ego is hurt.

I have said this before that the writers are deliberately turning Solidarius into a shitty character to force the DarMea team up which basically sums up what this whole ass show is all about--forced. Mapilit lang, mapahaba lang yung kuwento. And even if the writers deny that, which they would, I just don't see why they have to fuck up his character. I like the idea of two people who were forced into marriage but eventually teamed up to survive and navigate their way into politics and getting rid of the mfs who would try to overthrow them or something mga ganern. Eh kaso they're only pushing Armea to fall for her sister's murderer and ginagawang gago yung character ni Solidarius para lang walang mag ship sa kanila ni Armea 🤷

Mitena returning to the dark side? Nakakaumay na jusko!

This never ending cycle of dying and coming back to life like...seriously? Requirement ba na pag Sang'gre mamamatay muna tapos mabubuhay ulit?

Haliyah and Gargan's back story is the same old unrequited/rejected love which is...predictable and uninteresting.

Lira is just there for the comedy and I am still not having it.

And don't make me start on GMA-7's BAD habit of putting their most inexperienced and unready actors on huge projects like this.

The thing that disappoints me the most about ECS is that they only care about the hype, but this show doesn't have the heart that the original version have, its predecessor was LOVED not just hyped, that's the difference.

ANTHONY, BENEDICT, and COLIN BRIDGERTON BRIDGERTON | S1E4, S4E6

[iris-sistibly]

Lol I wish this was true, but IF ever they decide to make a netflix adaptation, please EXCLUDE the writers of ECS 😂, and PLEASE follow the original storyline.

[dr-lizortecho]

Mhmm, I see. // Cold milk then. Most refreshing indeed.

[neo--queen--serenity]

You know what? I absolutely love the fact that Sophie's acceptance into the Bridgerton family had nothing to do with having surprise noble origins—origins that would have made her a suitable match for Benedict—in the end. In Cinderella stories (really, in many romantic tales of class differences), it is a common rags to riches trope to make the pauper secretly a member of nobility, and this reveal solidifies their position in society, easing their transition into the culture of the upper class.

And Bridgerton didn't do this. Instead, they blackmailed the evil stepmother into staying away from Cinderella for life, and schemed a scenario that would allow them to straight up lie about her birth origins, so that she and a man of nobility could be together. Of course she's legitimate! She's the Late Earl's cousin. Just moved here.

And it works as a much more satisfying ending, to me, because overcoming class differences isn't as simple as many romances make it seem. Real life consequences of inter-class romance is often not fully fleshed out, unless it's used as a cautionary tale. But the Bridgerton family (and Alice Mondritch) ended up solving this problem not by bending the rules of society, but by outmaneuvering them.

[heyhey-apple]

I think Bridgerton season 4 part 2 was about Benedict and Sophie truly finding the middle ground between fantasy and reality.

For Benedict, who was often late or absent from family and social events, he began to show up on time and be present. At first, it might be just to be in the same room as Sophie, but gradually, he showed up for his family such as Hyacinth's recital and John's funeral for Francesca. Being a Bridgerton had felt like a burden that made him want to run away, but his love for Sophie made him stay and become the Bridgerton he truly is. He, who had always been chasing a fantasy, finally grounded himself in reality.

For Sophie, her true fantasy was simply to be loved. She always reminded herself that no one would love her for who she is, because she had been told she was a shameful secret. However, her love for Benedict allowed her to open up and believe that she could be loved unconditionally. Because of her trust in Benedict’s love, she found the courage to search for Lord Penwood's will and claim her rightful destiny. Her intelligence and kindness were what made so many people love her dearly. She, who had always been discouraged by a harsh reality, finally reached her fantasy.

One of my favorite itty bitty details from this season of Bridgerton is that Colin never reaches for a copy of Whistledown (except the fake one) because he’s already read them all before publication.

Like yes, Penelope girl, marry your beta reader and biggest fan! A writer’s dream! We love to see it!

Anthony and Kate coming back from India in part 2 to find Violet hooking up with Lady Danbury's brother, his sister acting suspiciously weird around her husband's cousin, his two other sisters fighting and some sketches of Hyacinth's lady maid in the accounting books for some reason

[cliodevotus]

Benedict: oh I can't seem to find the Lady in Silver anywhere :(( she's gone forever oh why didn't she give me her name now I'll never be able to find her :(( she exists now only in my memory and my sketches :((

Anthony, after looking at the Lady in Silver sketches in the accounting book for 0.9sec: why has that stupid bitch filled it with drawings of the new maid wearing a fancy dress
