That episode was just like
Wylan: 🦋🌺🦋🌷🦋🌸
Meanwhile; literally everyone else: 💀🪦⚰️😵
A detail I missed the first time around is that "Hope is dangerous - clouds your judgement" is actually Inej quoting Kaz word for word from a conversation between them in season 1😭
Yeah, she is sneakily saying that she hallucinated HIM because she's quoting his EXACT words back to him....but also saying that what she saw was just a hope she had for the future. Her words had a double meaning. It's a beautifully written the scene tbh.
i didnt understand but know i do, she’s basically saying “i was stupid for ever thinking you’d be open enough to love me” which just breaks my heart
As a book fan, my unpopular opinion is that I have no issue with the pacing. I'm treating the show as its own separate thing and I'm really enjoying it as is. I love not knowing what's coming and getting to see how these characters deal with new situations. Can't wait to see what you think of the last two episodes!
I wouldn't find the pacing a problem, if it was done well and with respect. But now finding out, that the showrunner and the writers only made S&B because they wanted the spin off about the crows, so they decided to cram all the books (I think one review said, that it was 6 books) into one season. I find that very disrespectful towards the actors, because the writers are literally saying that people should let season 2 play on mute on the background so that they could get the show they actually wanted to write (no joke, their actual words).
@@reekaren2609 I think only the fans are saying to play the show on mute in the background. The showrunners and the writers just said that just like any other show on Netflix, the reception of the previous season will decide the renewal of the show and potential spin off.. and they did not cram 6 books in the show, they just draw pieces of them that will make sense on the narrative of the show. Other parts of the books can still be adapted. They just aren't doing specifically one book per season.
@@reekaren2609the main shadow and bone series is 3 books while the six crows are 2 books.
My only issue was with the handling of Inej’s story (they are exploring Kaz’s trauma really well but not hers), but other than that I really don’t mind what changes they make and entirely agree! If I wanted the book plot, I would just read that. It’s a bit messy but I am enjoying it (besides the my gripe with Inej’s story).
@@witchy.business Oh yeah, I'm totally with you on Inej's story, hopefully if they get a S3 or SoC spin-off, they can still rectify that bc it def didn't feel like she got the time she deserved. It very much feels like her arc has revolved more so around Kaz and the Crows than around her as an individual.
The different Grisha can be a bit confusing so I hope this makes sense. There is an overlap to all Grisha power, in episode 1 we found out Zemeni don’t put them in categories ‘they are all blessed’ but the Ravkan’s have different orders. There are 3 orders: Corporalki (The living and The dead) is healers and heartrenders (people who control the body); Etherealki (Summoners) is Squaller (Wind), Inferni (Fire) and Tidemakers (Water); Materialki (Fabrikators) is Durats (Metal) and Alkemi (Chemicals). Genya is the first Tailor, which is a big of a mix between Corporalki and Fabrikcator so she has some healing ability. I think Fabrikators and Corporalki have the most cross over so someone might be able to do a little bit of multiple stuff but they would have a specialty.
Sorry that it’s so long, it can be confusing but I love the seres and I’m loving your reactions xx
Genya is a tailor but titles like tailor, heartrender, healer etc. are more just labels for the training you've had. There are three types of Grisha: Corporalki - can control/manipulate human biology, Etherealki - can control elements, Materialki - can control things such as rock or metal.
As a reader of both S n B and Six of crows, I loved the pace and how they intertwined both.
yesss completely agree. It works so much better for the show than if they slowed it down.
Also Inej’s “hope is dangerous” thing I think is referring to what she took from her hallucination was that she thinks it will never be a reality, because in reality he fears touch and she thinks it is dangerous to hope any different
I’m so happy you like the pacing! Yeah, it’s just very fast for us book fans, some reveals were better in the books 😢 but so happy you like malina! ❤
To answer your question, the entire series is through Alina’s perspective but she explains throughout siege and storm that she can feel him though their connection, and he comes to her in her dreams then eventually in waking dreams.
Also, with kaz’s hands rumors go around ketterdam that kaz has demons hands or that his hands r damaged or he has no hands 😂 but even inej was surprised when he took them off for the first time and they were perfectly normal. That is why his nickname is dirtyhands
Or that he had spilled so much blood the stains couldn’t be washed away
@@madeleinehoward3418 oh yeah I forgot about that one lol
Omg??? I didn’t realise that was an actual thing😭 I remember when someone called him dirty hands in season 1 and I thought it was a funny insult (like when Eric in Sex Education called someone a dirty pig when they didn’t wash their hands in the bathroom looool)
@@MonicaCatapusan hahahahaha no it actually has meaning 😂 it kind of is an insult but it’s his reputation that he built for himself. The mysterious dirty hands.
back again for episode title explanations! "yuyeh sesh" and "ni weh sesh" are a call-and-response sort of thing that tamar and tolya say in the books -- it's in shu. it directly translates to "despise your heart" and "i have no heart."
31:23 For the amplifier thing, the amplifier only works if the original animal or host or whatever is already dead. So she could take a pinky finger but it wouldn't do anything if he was still alive.
As a book reader and a fan of the Grishaverse itself, the pacing was a little odd, but I think we learnt to deal with it. Though some changes they did at the last two episodes, I was losing my mind over how could those changes make sense.
So Genya actually is a Heartrender and a tailor. Apparently Grisha can have more than one ability.
corporalki can be any of the corporalki technically, just depends which one they were trained in
She is a Corporalki, so technically she could do all of the things related to the body that they could do... It's just that each of them specialize and perfect different things and usually most of them show a preference and inclination for specific abilities within their specific powers... So yes, Genya has shown a very pellicular and specific type of healing, that's why she is a Tailor, but it is healing after all, and going further, it is quite simply a form of body manipulation
In the books, Genya is somewhere between Corporalki and Fabrikatir. She has the skills of both, but not the mastery of them, if that makes sense
In the words of Genya in the first season “I’m a tailor. I can heal, but also modify”
Yeah this is explored more in the books I believe.
Durasts are part of the order of fabricators (materialki) and Alkemi are the other type that are also part of that group. Hope that made sense
as a fan of the books (mainly the six of crows duology) i did enjoy the season and the pacing but i felt that some elements taken from the duology and thrown in random moments won't serve the story as a whole in the long run because these moments in the book were more deserved in a way. So i'm torn between actually enjoying it and feeling like it will make it more messy in the long run but i do trust these actors with the characters and i guess that's all that matters. So i don't mind some of the changes and some of the extra bits because adaptations have to be at least a little different BUT i think the shifts in the chronological order will harm the character development if that makes sense. But I had fun anyway and I love these characters so much
Even though I was kinda thrown off with the pacing (as someone who's read SoC duology and not the trilogy) I still liked the show just because of Genya. Like, I wasn't expecting her to be this present throughout the season. And the actress, Daisy Head did such a good job in invoking all the emotions.
as someone who loves the books the changed storylines in the show don't really bother me. It's basically like on-screen fanfiction and I'm honestly really enjoying it
Kaz has an issue with skin contact, bc he was tossed in with the other dead people who died bc of the firepox, Kaz survived but he touched a lot of dead body, including his brother's as well.
and he was in that pile of bodies for daysss
the love kind up lose its magic when you know you were literaly made for her to use. Anyway, thanks for the video
Yesss I’m one of the first hereeeeeeeee! I love your reactions! Do 7 and 8 soon! I have to warn you, the finale had me SCREAMING!
4:00 yeah in shadow and bone book 2, Seige and storm, the ending fight scene from s2 episode 4 was at the end of book 2 originally, and there was a lot more stuff. putting the fight at the end of episode 4 i feel messed everything up, it should have been the finale of season 2 not the middle
genya's scars were also way more intense, traveling up not only her face, but her hands and arms
A Taylor is more of a specialty inside the corporalki order than a whole different power, just like healers and heartrenders. The power is the same, manipulating the human body, is Just used with a different focus, that's why Genya is capable of healing and feeling the heartbeats. Also, a durast is just another name for fabrikator
i wish could have seen this show as a non reader bc i was such an amazing experience
Just a reminder that the crows in the books are 16 -17 years old and. Kaz joined the gang at 12 years old and invej right after her 15th birthday 😀
I must say I love how you get everyone's motivation and point of view, even if you did not read the books. I was worried non readers could have problems emphatizing with character, but I see non you get every implication
Love your reactions ❤
I’ve read the books and I also thought the pacing was a bit weird and also they have a few loose ends. For example like you talked about with Alina trying to find another way to absorb the amplifiers. I’m not gonna spoil the last 2 episodes but at least up until this point they like completely abandoned that line of thinking she had which confused me. I had the same reaction at you saying over and over again that she said she’s interested in finding another way besides killing. I’m not one to really mind changes in adaptations as long as it makes sense. The only thing I don’t like is how they’re doing the relationships between the Crows. Six of crows I enjoyed much better than the original Shadow and Bone trilogy. Part of it is bc their story focuses on heists and I love heists, but also I love the relationships they had. They’re relationships are so complex and takes time for everyone to get with their pair. Jesper and Wylan relationship moved extremely fast in the show and it’s much more of a slow burn like Kaz and Inej. You’ll see in the last episodes how Kaz and Inej relationship progresses and I just think that bc of how much is going on in the story bc of the mash of two series the weight of their relationships really takes a hit bc they’re trying to give like 12 different characters enough screentime. I do enjoy the series. But as I expected when finding out about the merge of the two stories, some things are underdeveloped which sucks.
I just wanna say, i LOVE your reviews 💙 As a reader, im amazed on how you always understand every characters motive just by watching the show, its really satisfying to see
If it helps a tailor can fix but also modify .
The materialki are Also calle fabrikator and the group includes durast and alchemi (the boy who is helping the darkling).
This season is soon great
Having watched the entirety of season 2 I kinda think that they are speeding up the events a bit too much. Havent read the books myself but the pace plotwise in season 1 was much slower but now it seems that a lot of things get resolved in the same episode that they are presented in. Seems that the author left the series after season 1 and the showrunner has decided to include plotpoints into season 2 from all of the books in the series. The trouble with this is that this forces you as the showrunner to come up with your own plotpoints since you cant rely on the material from the books as much as you have in season 1.
I'm sorry she bent the light to hide them!? That seems kinda op. Like all this running around as a fugitive and she can just make stuff disappear? What's stopping her from bending a new face?
I’m pretty sure it’s at the very end of all the books so assuming she wouldn’t have learnt that up until that point
-Yes, the fandom is not confused but a bit annoyed with the pacing, to explain, there are 7 main books in the Grisha world, and this season the producers threw us events from the 6th and 7th book. The dilemma is what they will show us then in future seasons.
-In the book Genya is totally disfigured, full of scars, in the show they were kind to her, honestly, we would have liked her to have all the scars, since these represent all the abuses that were inflicted on her.
-Nikolai is wonderful, he is our prince charming with a sharp tongue and Machiavellian methods, he will do anything to protect his country and people, if you remove the genoside tendencies, The Drakling would be like him.
-Kaz has Haphephobia.
-Of all the crows, Jesper is the only one who doesn't have a traumatic past, he had a happy childhood, the only problem is his gambling addiction.
- 23:28 yeah, that was the general reaction whe we read that part in the books.😂
Well jespers mum died
