God i fucking hate this series with a passion . This series have no fucking point no stakes no story hell they wasted 3 different seasons trying to kill the same antagonist for fucking 3 season!!!
I’ve never seen anything else vampire related and for whatever reason I love legacies
Agreed with a lot of points, The main issue though that actually killed the show is something you mentioned, MALAVORE being the ONLY BIG BAD FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW, This is actually HIGHLY unusual for a show, At first i thought they were doing something unique and had a plan but lol NOPE, This could have been easily fixed, After Kllng malavore , it could have Unleashed something that would lead to unlocking everyones memories of all the monsters that used to exist and some big bad creatures return because of it, or you could have had it unlock a curse and malovores existence was put in place by witches as a sort of lock on something even worse, you could still use him as the thread that eventually leads to the final big bad just not actually be MALVORE AS THE BIG BAD THE ENTIRE TIME. Also side note, Anytime a persons controversy is brought up, It's a good idea to post the examples of the tweets etc so people can make an informed decision, A lot of times when an actor is accused of something its blown out of proportion and then you look at what was said and it's like wait... That's actually not outright what they meant by that, not saying he wasn't any of those things , just that when you show the statements it makes it less an opinion piece and brings out the facts / examples , plus if the internet is just running with a statement and its repeated and turns out to be not outright what they said it was , it becomes slander, I think the conversation has evolved enough that we are getting better at not taking the this person is XYZ because they said XYZ at face value, maybe younger audiences sure but adults typically want to SEE the tweet, the statement, the quote so they can understand
Am sorry there was a rise😂😂😂??
Please make more content. This was really good. & Legacies let me down after the first season. I had high expectations... I was sadly disappointed halfway thru season 2. But the final season was okay.
Well from my point of view it was the Harry Potter magic, like in tvd originals you had this feeling that the spells were "realistic" (and it was at least some words were) so you had this feeling. The harvest, the ancestral plane, different immortality, but this spinoff just had random stuff thrown at you at a quick pace. The difference between Cade and Ken was huge, Cade turned evil because he was hurt by his own people, while Ken here is spelling with aurora. Like what……. Even Ken’s weapons was just given to them by Jen no thrill no nothing…..while cades had to searches….same goes for Inadu like Vincent had to contact inadus dead mother to find it and yet were unable to kill her because her souls technically immortal….
I tried to watch it and it just felt off. They didn’t need to have this show. It didn’t offer anything that as a fan you could just make up your own lore after, would have been better.
i LOVED the original mystery of landon, the “why is the one person hope gets close to the one person she can never have” trope, then everything became about landon constantly dying and it ruined it. i like the landon was a big part, but hope IS the legacy. no one should be more centered than her.
The structure of the episodes are bad as well. A monster shows up they fight for 5 min then it cuts to some random thing the other people are doing, Then cuts back to the fight again and keeps doing this until the end of the episodes. Also why is Hope not just one tapping everything? She is the strongest being that has ever lived, Yet she has problems in every fight and just barely wins WITH the help of others.
We all know whay this show was cancelled. In the last season every one of them become gay. I am not joking. And this isnt the first time CW do this. They try appel to one audiencie that isnt even 10% of the total population. Is sadd seeing soo many promising shows being ruined like that. Is like Cartman says. "Just pick a girl, make her lame and gay" thats the recipe for moder shows.
And Molivore shit was too long for nothing 😂😮😅
The Vampire Diary was absolutely awesome, then came the spinoff The orginal which was though not quite as good but pretty damn close and I love both of them so much so when they came up with Legacies, I was so looking forward to it. It started out pretty good and then quickly turned into boring and just a bunch of the most annoying bickering teenages doing the same stuipid drama queen things over and over again. By season 3, I just can't take it anymore, I just came to CZcams to get the recap of the whole season 3 just so I can move onto Season 4 after enduring the first 4 episodes. I am now starting season 4, let's hope I can get through it instead of again just coming to CZcams again just so I can know the ending. What a complete letdown...
And Molivore shit was too long for nothing. 😂😅
All these comments hating on Landon need to stop because he could’ve been a great character but he had terrible writing for example they made him a phoenix and gave him fire wings just to take them away. But in season 4 he’s actually a great character.
Let's be for real lizzie and her jokes carried the show😍U can't tell me you didn't laugh when she say something slay 💝
You have a evil company playing its role (Triad) and not doing anything interesting with it. they got interesting creatures like the Necromancer even Aurora and relevant character in TO. The tomb vampires in TVD S1 showed more than a whole bestiary, How regular vampires are more interesting that new supernaturals being intrdouced?. The only arcs I really enjoyed from this show were the Gemini Plot and Hope switching her humanity off because this what TVD universi is about. not guessing the weekly monster with a cheesy plots and Pedro making awful jokes
Ooh! I still need to watch this.
Land on and hope had zero chemistry... It was boring just like Elena and Stefan... I don't know why they didn't try to Pivot to Raphael those two had such great chemistry. They were so stubborn they killed him off and that's when I stopped watching the show.
Wonder why they decided to destroy it. I mean she is an alk new powerful witch who easily broke the cloaking spell of a 1000 years old powerful witch at 7 years. She performed t magic that a 16 years old girl performed when she had the powers of 3 witches and she performed that spell when she was 7 .Then she is fighting dragons evil santa and Phoenix. They literally turned her to a warrior. They kept repeating the same thing. Malivore all season 1 was on malivore. Even i can direct a better show than this
A supernatural school for werewolves and vampires is a ridiculous premise in the first place. A school for witches is acceptable in my opinion, but what children would voluntarily become werewolves? Even if some accidently turned on their gene, there shouldn't be enough students to form a pack. If you're lucky, you might have no more than ten. Ugh then there is the vampire conundrum. Are they promoting the notion that vampires who are ten to fifteen years old are loose in the town? Who would be insane enough to turned a12 year old into a vampire? How frequently do you come upon poor souls like Caroline, Tyler and Elena? A seventeen-year-old vampire who enrols at the school will graduate the next year and just walk out. What's the purpose of signing up altogether? Legacies should've never happened.
The fall began when they off Klaus..Klaus & Caroline shoulda been end goal.
I want The spinoff and background history of Katherine Pierce ❤
Great video!
As a man i wanted to see men , like TVD (even tho the main character was a female) , and Original . Legacies is full of females and i honestly don't like it .
Agree completely. The writing collapsed in season 3. Too many new charactors leeched time from season 1-2 charactors. Josie, for example, was pretty much cast aside with an absurd story arch. They basically wrote her out while still dragging her along. Season 3-4 writers also introduced pathetic "gods", evil hope arch... drek basically. It all fell apart pretty quickly after an excellent season 2.
This was a literal disney show.
Besides everything that was mentioned, I also feel like the mythos of the universe was kinda ruined (TVD did that too with the introduction of Cade and the sirens, but at least it wasn't as ridiculous as the monsters that appeared every week or Malivore). I like that we got some origin story for the witches, but knowing that goofy ass monsters existed in the same universe with some cool and badass characters like Klaus, Elijah, Marcel, Katherine and more is soooooo funny to me. Also, I dislike how the 3 main species were represented in the legacies. Werewolves were never treated properly in any of the shows (maybe besides TO), the vampires were okay but never felt like a threat, and don't get me started on the nickelodeon ass type of witches.
Yes! This pissed me off from the very beginning. The Vampire Diaries universe started off very grounded, with clear rules, which I appreciated. It made it all seem a bit more believable somehow, and while they did erode that over time, it doesn’t compare to what they did with Malivore. It literally allowed them to add any mythical creature ever conceived of to the universe. They turned the universe into an absolute joke with the monster of the week trope. Lazy repetitive bs week after week for the better part of 3 seasons. TVD and TO at least started off good and fell off later on. This show was never good. I mostly watched it because I had a bit of a celebrity crush on Danielle. As a side note, did they ever explain why Malivore suddenly became able to attack vampires, witches and werewolves? I thought part of its origin story was that it was created by vampires, witches and werewolves together. They worked it into the spell that Malivore could never harm anyone from the three species as far as I can remember. That’s supposed to explain how the three species continued to roam the earth while every other mythical creature was consumed and forgotten. Yet I can’t recall there ever being an explanation as to how it was able overcome that restriction. Not that I'm expecting coherent writing from this show.
I think sirens worked just fine they were just another suptype of inmortals like Silas but canibals. Their plot was not grea but no the worst thing spit by this franchise but Cade´s is a different story. I think some introduced Legacies supernaturals could work with an appropiate introduction like the necromancer or Malivore (with a better costume or CGI) a monster who treatens vampires,wolves and witches adbucting them into a dark purgatory is not a bad plot if you asked me. The funny thing is I remember a Plec interview stating they had to nerf Damon supernatural power because weere too "supernatural and cheesy" and then we got THIS from her.
Sorry but Alaric Saltzman’s cast is called Matthew Davis not Brett Matthews
it went woke thats why it failed.
you sound slow ijbol
Thank you for your astute review. It saved me from wasting my time to watch it.
I’m not even interested in watching this show. You think about it we were teens when VD came out early adults when the originals came out. I’m not getting younger so why would I want to watch a hs student all day in my mid 20’s.. the newer show should’ve progressed instead it reached younger audiences. Not people who have watched TVD and the originals.
hated Landon so fucking much, he's so boring he's so bland, Hope was a great character and they ruined her character by making her whole personality be Landon, I have up after season 3 and it's a miracle I even held on that long
It’s not his fault they gave him cool powers that made him interesting just to take them away. He was actually cool in season 4
From the second episode i knew it would suck with the monsters of the week. Tvd and TO had a much better structure and story telling
honestly i love the monster of the week format of shows and had never really gotten into the originals series so the show was pretty fresh and chill for me at the beginning. i quit when hope got possessed because i had no clue whoever the fuck the villain was because it seemed like it was too tied to the originals universe and i didn't bother finding out. also, the viewer base for the originals were much more mature compared to who this show catered to so i'm assuming most who were watching felt the same way that i did if they hadn't seen the originals like myself
they should never of ended the originals for for legacies
They should've made inadu the main supervillian
my biggest problem is the vandilazation of the lore, it just... what the fuck...
I cried when Klaud and Elijah died, i was expecting alot and then we got this garbage of a series
Rise ??? The show was a MASSIVE failure when it started
The plot was a total disaster only saved for a few episodes when some old characters from TVD and TO appeared again, Jossete and Kai Parker, the original family and Aurora de Martel. The rest was pure crap and Alaric character couldn't sustained the show either
flabbergasted that you think hope quickly became a fan favourite in originals xD
Alaric was totally the main guy and NOT Landon. At one point I felt like they tried to give tension between Alaric and Hope and it just creeped me out. At least aunt Jenna in TVD was cool but still clearly a wholesom aunt. The Alaric guy totally matched his personality irl which gave creepy he pastor in skinny jeans/flannel/boots and Bieber combed hair vibes. He should have just been a wholesome dad that actually looked out for them and aided them. No real dad would have so FEW instructors at a school with magical kids. It should have been like Harry Potter. Teachers for each subject. Leaders of their housing quarters, curfews, rules, eating times, dress codes (not just uniforms meant to be sexualized like wtf). It was just a joke from the start and not even sorta real
Couldn't agree more about everything you just said! Alaric should have been similar to Dumbledore, not to Mr Schuester (from Glee) and his creepy realtionship with his UNDERAGE students, he should have been a father to Lizzie and Josie as much as he was to Hope. In Legacies it felt like he was devoted to Hope but couldn't really care less about his real daughters, the only link between him and his dead wife who he supposedly loved so much! The few times we saw the students in class it was really interesting and showed what the show could have been but no, it was all wasted.
The vampire diaries was sexy without trying really hard to be. Like maybe Elena had a low button on her top or you saw a bra. But the costumes on legacies were like a bad corn-o or something like every skirt had to be so short and shirt cropped or tie crooked, when uniforms of all places would NEVER be sexy like that. It just felt creepy to watch and like it was make for the people on set more than the people at home wanting a story line! They did not give the characters good stories either and depth, everyone had surface level problems with the monster of the week vibe of new issues coming and going each week that were easy to write in and out of existence. The whom show just felt like they didn’t try. Also vampire diaries never HINGED the entire show on Elena loving one guy, she mad many possible guys, MATT, STEFAN, Damon were the obvious ones but they kept you guessing. Instead we got Landon who always looked kinda ill in his complexion and there was no mystery to her feelings about him; she was all or nothing with him for no reason and is lost any intrigue. VD was incredible because at the end you’re impressed she’s with Damon and happy but hope you’re just sorta expecting her to end up with Landon because the writing was dull and one dimensional. They could have just had them in actual uniforms regular lengths and living in separate buildings so there’s a sense of them going to each others house. I didn’t like it all taking place in one school and no parents or other elements aside from the kids in town. Just dull dull dull
Of all The problems the show had, not giving Hope another worthless and cliche love triangle plot wasnt one of them.
@@javierlopez9789its not about the love triangle. Just her whole "love story" felt more like and obsessesion and it was annoying as hell; like i felt that landon could die and i didnt give a single fuck.
Please make another video now that they cancelled the series and we get no season 5! Your ideas are all spot on!
I very episode revolves around a new “monster of the week” and it was so cheesy it was like watching scooby soo each new episode
Just watched the first two episodes and I'm like... why is this so annoying to watch? Its like frustrating to see this girl Hope be on such a high horse and be soo wrong, then she doesnt even apologized to that dude Landon for treating him like a criminal, like a day after they kiss/have a moment?? There are just so many cliché character interactions so far.
"Something just felt off..." ie. audience maturation
Legacies was a mistake never should have been made and definitely shouldn't have been a spin off of the vampire diaries especially with them knowing nobody important wanted to be a regular or even show up they had no foundation or reason for this spin off to exist it only exists because somebody wanted a modern buffy/vampire academy type show and it flopped Hope and the twins wasn't enough to hold a show either all they had was who they was related too going for them i personally would have rather had Klaus and kai then their Imitations😂
Look at tvd,originals..best tv serieses.. and look at this, its all about hopes obsession about landon, gay, lesbians, white girls crushes on black guys..hufff They just ruind it..
This is why you should of separate personal from business. It's never good to have these two in the same room happy she left however she was a hella of a character damn I still choose classic over new anytime
Matt Davis is an classic I don't care what his beliefs are that shouldn't effect his job as an actor. He's incredible
My turning point was One of the monsters was Dragon very bad one 🤣 And there is also SANTA 🤣 My reaction was Damon’s meme He is saying Wha a a t 😅
