Fate - The Winx Saga please can you review this book can you make a video reviewing this book can you tell us what you think about Fate - The Winx Saga
The name is Alexander Morozova... grandson of Ilya. Kirigan is just the current fake name.... Mal is his relative... but later on that :D
I guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Max Alfonso flixportal xD
@Gatlin Thatcher Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!
Thought it was gonna be a low budget, cheesy teen romance series. Turned out it was a high budget, less cheesy fantasy series with a lot of romance subplots. Season 2, lets do this!
@Captain Yung Alina was hella cringey, made me so furious
I super happy with how the show turned out. They did my Crows justice especially Jesper who was amazing. Kit Young is such a charismatic actor. Milo and Jesper better reunite in the future 🐐
Yesss, I agree XD
Best boi Jesper, for sure.
Jesper is the most memorable character in the show so far imo.
Never knew anything about the show at all. But the Crows stole the show. Jesper, Kaz and Inej stole the show and deserves a spin-off with just them doing heists.
I didn't care for Jesper in the books but I fell in love with him in the show, thanks to Kit and Milo.
Nina and Mathias's relationship is gonna be a great highlight of season 2.
It was my fav part, haha
I enjoyed their story more than I thought I would :)
I enjoyed theirs more than alina's hahaha
True , their story was so enjoyable , loved it..
I felt like their story was the weakest. I liked the Crows I loved Alina's story Nina and Mathias' story never really landed for me
I hope Mal and Alina become good friends with the crows in the next seasons. I'd love to see their friendship.
also I'd like to see them fight against the darkling together.
I think it's rather obvious they will cross paths once again & maybe form a proper party.
Crows?
Me too
@@Jshowtime02 the crows are Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Nina, and Matthias
The show doesn't make it too clear but a durast is actually a subset of the fabrikators. Fabrikators are divided in 2 orders: Durasts who control materials and Alkemi (which we don't see in this season) who usually make poisons and other chemical concoctions. A Taylor is also a type of Grisha that is somewhere between a Corporalki and a Fabrikator and that's why they're so rare.
Never read the books. However, I can see by this show how great the series is. I already put in an order for the entire book series because the show was just that good. This show was already renewed for a season 2 so I am gonna have some high expectations for it
when was it renewed for season 2?
Glad that non-readers are enjoying this! I thought non readers would get confused by the show as it introduced a lot of characters together.
I was definitely gonna read them, although I have to ask my parents to buy them but they might not since it’s like 7-8 dollars in USA currency lol
Definitely read Six of Crows! All the crows material in the show was made up for TV, so nothing will be spoiled for you. The Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows timelines don't actually intersect in the books. It's definitely more gritty and the crazy heists they go on will blow your mind.
@@oliviawilliams6521 thanks!
Me: *has read every single book in the grisha verse* Also me: lemme watch this video As for my thoughts on the show, i loved it, it's better than i expected it to be me. The cast is perfect, the background score, the costumes, CGI everything is awesome. I loved how they connect the Crows story to Alina as that did not happen in the books. The showrunner said there'll be future seasons.
If Ben Barnes isn’t one of your favourite people in the biz, then you have some serious pondering to do. I mean, what more can I say. He and the entire cast just fit perfectly in each of their roles
thanks for covering the show. I'm happy you liked it. whoever, sorry bud, I hate to be this person but I gotta jump in. volcra: volk means wolf in russian. aleksander served many kings, he didn't hide for centuries. he faked his death a lot. grisha have 3 orders, not 2. materialki (fabrikators) are the third order and durasts and alkemi are it's subcategories. west ravka is trying to secede, not east. (again, sorry. this must be annoying) The Apparat didn't poison the king, it was Genya. just thought I'd clarify some things.
Thank you
I am actually thankful to people willing to take from their time to correct misleading info. Thank you! ☺️
As someone who has seen countless books turn into absolute ****shows and disastrous movies, I was extremely hopeful for this one! And it didn't disappoint Characters look almost exactly like how they were described in the books, world building was great, and it definitely gave a good taster for what's to come. Super excited for the other characters to turn up!! Really hope it gets renewed!👀
Since you understand everything I'm a bit confused about them saying the darkling betrayed his people. Who? I feel like his people the Grisha for most. And the people in the town were going to look everyone on the boat right? I really enjoyed the show though.
Loved this!!! I usually watch 1-2 episodes a day to sting it along but this, I binged watched. I hope Netflix brings Seasons 2-4 (or all the series of books in this series).
This show was kind of weird, but it sounds like the lore goes pretty deep so I'll stick around for the long haul
You should see how deep the books go hahaha
Why does it sound like fullmetal alchemist plot haha. Alchemist ‘magic’ = small science....
abcd def yeah just no equivalent exchange lol
Six of crows fantasy heist is more interesting than alina's story, excited for it to be shown in the future
abcd def it also reminds me of how they have to weave signs before using jutsu’s in naruto
Taking into consideration how many changes they made with respect to the book, I think they can give Alexander a redemption arc. Now that would be great! 😏
Fun fact: general Kirigan is played by the same actor who played Dorian Gray in the latest adaptation. Such a charismatic actor
There are actually three orders of grisha Corparalki (order of the living and dead), Etherealki (order of summoners), Materialki (order of fabricators), this show is so good though
You forgot one... the Materialki... purple kefta... David is one of them.
As a big fan of the books I was excited but skeptical...I have to say it surpassed all my expectations. Fantastic show all around , I need season 2 now!
I read the series and enjoyed it immensely. Looking forward to seeing how it was portrayed in film. You did a great job describing the characters and plot points. Well done sir. Well done.
I was very pleased with this season. Lot's of talking but because everything is new to me (havent read any books) i liked that. At some point i was getting a bit tired of Aleksander's monologues, especially towards the end. This didn't diminish my pleasure i had in seeing all end characters raise up against him. I had a minor quibble though, and it was about Ivan. He kept true to Aleksander till the end, but i could not understand why. The series didn't show to me why he would follow Aleksander without having any doubts about his actions. Characters i liked most: Jesper, his humor. Mal, and how he time and time again was a friend one can only wish for. Kaz, the actor has that cold stare yet you feel safe if you know you have Kaz on your side. Alina for about 50% of the time. Sometimes I couldn't understand her actions and choices. I was impressed with how she decided to flee the little palace though, but when she choose Mal over the Stag i was screaming at the screen. How could she still trust Aleksander? Rather wished she didnt choose, but instead kep the sunlight shield up, while coming up with a plan. Nina was absolutely great. I was with her through it all. Really felt for her. Best character: Inej. Oh my god, such a beauty and complexity. She is pulled all sorts of directions by different people and motivations. Kaz, Heleen, her faith, sometimes Jesper, her faith towards saints. All they have some sort of impression on her mind. She is also very cool with her stealth skills. I was enarmored by her voice and will.
Ivan is with the general bc he doesn’t want to fight the wars and die for the king like his family did, hope this helped
He said this in one of the books i hope its not a spoiler 😓
@@fathersbelying6755 thanks for telling me! And don't think it counts as a spoiler since Ivan has died in the last episode
Inej is such a Queen especially the actress who played it. If u watched the afterparty she showed her scars she got while filming the fight scene and also she did the circus dance thing ( I don’t know the right word) by herself.
Jesper is so charismatic. Then the fight on the train, when he finds his courage. Inej. Simply breathtaking. You want her to succeed.
WOOHOO!! always love to hear what crazy intro you have next
Love you’re channel! 😍😍 You’ve made sense of the MCU for me this parallelogram.
Thank you! I was waiting for you to do a review on this show!
Watching this show made you realize how much better the last airbender could have been.
We didn’t need to watch this to realize that, but I feel you.
I can't wait for season 2, I need the Jesper and Wylan storyline.
It's really good but feels underrated. Sadenning
Most season 1 are like this. it's only been days too. I am sure the book fans & new show fans will promote the show a lot more in the future.
Yeah..i feel the same...btw show is so good ♥️
I mean it's #1 trending in my country-
Favorite characters, in order: 1. Kaz 2. Nina 3. Jesper
4.inej
So many great characters.
I was super impressed by the show. It was a solid first season! The world seems so rich and they definitely had a good budget. I never read the books but knew of them but I was able to keep up. I wish we saw more of her training at the palace and more character building in general. LOVED the crows and how they’re able to essentially merge their stories together with the main story Very smart actually, as a spin off show is a gamble I’m guessing. I wish there were maybe 2 more episodes? I feel like they revealed things too fast.
Thank you so much for this video. There was a part of Kirigian's story that I didn't understand...but now thanks to you it's all clear ;)
I really loved the show, the story was pulling me in and visually it looked amazing, thank you for some clarifications. Off now to read the books ^_^
I am so glad i found this!! I am reading the books, love the show
Can I just say that the magic in this show is astounding. Am i right to guess that there are FOUR amplifiers? The depiction made it seem like 2 belong to the darkling and 2 belong to the sun-summoner, Alina. She got the stag and now she needs that firebird thing. As far as I know it doesn't seem like the darkling as had any luck locating his two amplifiers.
There are 3 actually. The stag was the 1st. Alina is gonna look for the other 2. The darkling doesnt have amplifiers.
@@gaboskiee7171 In the book she opened weren't there six that was depicted? I haven't read the books so I am not certain.
@@rabbitazteca23 there are many amplifiers actually. But those of Morozova's are only 3. They are the strongest and the ones Alina and the Darkling wish to attain. To have the greatest power.
Very well explained ! It is very complex , especially with so many books behind the series , but It willl get there . I was amazed at the 1st seasons and the world of Grisha ♥
Adored the show and very excited for future seasons. Will prob read the books now too
This show was really unique and interesting, very well done. I hope they get a season 2
Loved this show! ✨I also want a baby goat!😭
This show made me want to read the books. Was not having high expectations with this show but I binged watch all of it in one day and i gotta say this show is damn good.
I hope we can find out who was the sun Summoners parents and what their names were and even if they are dead because she assumed they are dead because maybe they aren't dead
@@user-rl7zq2ms7i who else said her parents are dead because I saw the show myself and no one else even spoke about her parents except when this one woman asked her if her parents are alive and she said they're probably dead because she assumed her parents are dead
@@user-rl7zq2ms7i you're right that is true someone did tell that her parents was swallowed by the fold
I really like this show, might have to read the books too. Roll on season 2!
thanks for the clarification on the ending and where this is going. I look forward to season 2
Going in blind knowing nothing about the series I can say I loved it! Great story, acting, sets & visuals etc. I can't wait for the story to continue.
proud to say i binged this on 1.5x speed during work
It's a good show. I liked the sets and costumes, it really felt like a living world. So is Alina and Mal just best friends or love interest? I haven't read books so I was curious. This is way better than The Irregulars imo
They're childhood friends who turn to lovers in the book
@clairedelune05 He's so much better in the show. In the books, he was just lame and whiny. Any other love interest for Alina was cooler and more interesting. I'm not a Darklina shipper at all and think they are horribly toxic but I get why people might ship that because it's at least interesting. I liked that they made both Maljen and Alina half-Shu because it explains why they stick together so much. They only have each other and Maljen actually seems like a cool, likable guy in the show with a lot of loyalty.
I think they need to spinoff of the series involving the Baby Goat who also happens to be a Rainbow Summoner that can summon all the elements - but refuses to do so until he finds his favorite toy.
I have not read the books and I enjoyed the first season and am happy the second season is finally here. Thanks for the explanation.
Good summary! Just a small clarification. There are three Grisha orders: Etherealki (blue), Corporalki (red) and Materialki (purple). Materialki consist of Durasts who can build with materials and Alkemi who are chemists. They are the most neglected order (also in canon) and the show could have explained their existence better. But I think they are cool and deserve to be mentioned.
I really liked this show, however the one thing that was not good was how some scenes were so dark, as in you couldnt see dark. Especially the season finale battle was so dark, like GOT battle of winterfell dark. You could barely see Mal fighting Aleksander after being knocked off the ship. But I want to read the books now and I hope they make more seasons.
I love how everybody were involved with Alina whilst Matthias and NIna got their own love story from miles awayas if they were the main characters. haha I love them so much in the books, superb casting choice too.
I haven't read the books, so all the logistics of the Grishaverse was lost on me. But, this is a great breakdown of how this world works!
I swear I get vibes from FF X with the whole Fold/Sin creation and even the relationship between Kirigan x Alina reminding me a bit of Seymour x Yuna and how they both want a union to use a Summoners power for their own means. And of course there's lots of Full Metal Alchemist elements as well.
I loved it. What a pleasant surprise
Whats to discuss? The villain crawled out of the dark. He's back baby.
loved it. I keep watching it on repeat. I even bought the trilogy books so I can read the next two books before theres a second and possibly third season.
What's the name of the books?
David is Materialki which is the third one the Order of The Fabrikators that is divided into the Durasts and the Alkemi. David is a durasts and they manipulate metals.
LUV IT!
In the last episode at the end alina sags " I know some people who'd like those odds" seeing at the crows what did that meant
I think they called it small science not just because of the origin, but also how BASIC these powers that they are conjuring. The Grisha right now are more like elemental user/bender instead of an actual wizards/mages. No actual spells, incantation, & master level mix powers. Compare to how Alexsander who actually did "magic" by summoning the fold from incantation & transform human into monsters from his dark elemental powers. Alexsander also the only one so far who can materialize actual dark objects with his dark slasher moves.
Ngl, I'm hardcore rooting for Aleksander/General Kirigan. Ben Barnes is just a really compelling actor. Did he commit mass murder? Sure. But I'm completely inclined to join him over Alina anyday lol.
Now I am loyal stannerman and darkman
Literally me. The Darkling was my favorite when I read the books and Ben Barnes made me adore him even more. His actions are wrong. It his motivation makes so much sense. It kind of made me crazy that after Kirigan killed the ppl with general Zlatan he didn’t just tell Alina that he’d sent the conductor to murder her.
not me still shipping the darkling and alina even after he betrayed her.
I actually love this show & never read the books. It's like an actual deep lore fantasy mature story instead.
This!!
Shadow and Bone needs to give tidemakers some love
Thanks for the explanation! I was a bit lost on the politics of it
Buddy watch the video that Netflix made explaining the world of Shadow and Bone it will help
If u have read the books u already know what happens next😏
I want the fan fiction on milo the goat
Great analysis however I think you missed something or maybe didn't want to spoil it?. I haven't read the books and really only watched the last few episodes . Howeve something is definitely going on with Mal. He hears a noise no one else can hear when looking for the stag and says he has heard it before when thinking of Lina. Why can only he hear this sound and Alina's power is connected to Mal. She is forced to choose between the Stag and Mal and chooses love over power, and I think this is foreshadowing something to come????
In the books he's something more than just being a tracker, he's the key to defeating the Darkling.
I had to turn on subtitles from episode one just to understand the Grisha hunters but once I understood what their motive was the rest kind of fell into place. It was a good watch. I loved it. Alina whines just a little bit too much but other than that I loved it. Can’t wait for season 2. .. 3 and hopefully 4 lol. That ending was just.. *chef’s kiss* “Follow” 😟😟😟 I was shaking lol. The Crows are my favorite definitely. They stole the show in my opinion..
It kinda reminds me of Avatar the last air bender series. But it had me hooked the momment i started watching it and even more so witht the final scene in the last episode so am very much looking forward to a season 2
Everytime, I said oh it’s an air bender or a fire seeker!
Who else is here because you need a good recap before season 2?!
I wish they did more with West Russia and East Russia storyline. That war separate from State continue into season 2.
Y'know, if I had a nickel for every time Ben Barnes played a presenting-morally-gray, strangely and seductively charismatic character who initially seems to be on the side of the protagonist, but then is later revealed to be a villain, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's pretty weird that it happened twice...
Nichevo'ya @12:06 ok ok I really thought that the monsters could leave the fold and follow the shadow master and he was simply protecting them in darkness.
Great show
Anyone else thinks that Freddy Carter ( Kaz ) Would be great in a Clock Work Orange remake?
I was so happy when Mal finally found Alina and that first shot of them grabbing hands and reuniting was amazing
lol i thought mal was just a dumb brute guy,is that what people like nowadays. The character was very unlikeable for me.
@@rpavangchhia8953 "These days"....don't go watch an 80's or 90s action flick. More like it was refreshing to see a straight male character hold his own and actually play a vital role in the series. Especially with today's PC/woke garbage that passes for entertainment
@@rpavangchhia8953 No powers, not exceptional in any way. Just a man who won't quit. No matter what it takes, he will find her.
Overall, I love it.
I like the show. Expected something low budget. But it s interesting. I like it.
the punisher's jigsaw actor guy's greatness can only be match by the blue lip guy from dungeon and dragons movie
I was wondering if Jesper and Inej were Greisha.
Wow. Reminds me why I didn't even get through the first episode.
I love Milo 🥰
Lol, nice summarize but where is the explainimg of the end? :D
"Sorry I was reading my fanfiction script " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A durast is a materialki
and how's that different from a fabrikator
@@_Amit_Sunil a fabrikator is a materialki and it has 2 categories one is alkemi one is durast.
@@_Amit_Sunil Fabrikator/Materialki is the name of the main order. There are three orders namely Etherealki, Corporalki and Materialki/Fabrikator. Materialki/Fabrikator consists of Durasts (who can build things from different materials) and Alkemi (who are basically chemists). Fabrikator/Materialki are the Grisha in the purple robes and they are the most neglected order. The show could have done a better job of explaining them but they can build some cool stuff.
Kirigans gonna cause all hell
You said Zlatan is part of East Ravka but but its actually West Ravka he is a part of.
I tried to watch it but I keep falling asleep... maybe I should read the book
"Follow" 😳 😳 - One of the best TV show Ive ever watched!!
I thoroughly dug Shadow and Bone season 1 and I didn't go into it with the highest of hope. Having seen the trailer, I thought it was just yet another YA Hunger Games grab, and the worldbuilding seemed a bit intimidating. I was wrong. The worldbuilding in the first episode was huge, but with subtitles on, it was pretty simple to get. Alina falling for Alexzander almost immediately after we were shown her lifelong love bond with Mal (browncoats unite) was the only sticking point for me, as it was so quick, and so contrived, and so damaging to her character. Other than that, not being a book wanker, I thought S&B was a treat.
Absolutely loved the Production Design of the show. The story (mostly in ep 1) is a little complicated to follow for the uninitiated. My big problem with the story is that the secondary storyline of The Crows was the best part. Alina's story was not as compelling. The Character wasn't unique and neither did the actor bring anything new to it. I get that she is learning who she is, that's her arc but the character was so boring!!! Contrast that with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone where the protagonist has practically the same arc as Alina. That 11 year old was more interesting than the 18-something Alina.
Netlix can definitely to the last Airbender Some fire effects were good
would be stupid to not make a season 2 imo
Good thing there is no Moon-summoner...
Love this show! Inesh is so damn HOT! Omg! The Crows are awesome. I really hope Malyen is a Grisha also. And of course Alina is perfect!
Great review like usual. Show was easy to get into 7/10. Small things annoyed me. Wish certain characters were a bit more honest to each other. Had to remember the reading level of the book/target audience. A regular person would rate it a 9/10.
not sure if this is as much of a sore thumb as in the show, but i wondered why Alina didnt try to banish the fold as soon as they were free. Its probably something along the lines of shes not strong enough, but how does she know that? It seemed like they were going to the fold under the pretense she could destroy it, even if General Kirigan didnt use her for that
My guess that Alina pushed herself to her limits making the tunnel in the fold that the ship passed through.
This was great but no garauntees if they will make another season
It was good
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does no one want to discuss that she got her cartography team killed just so she could be close to her man but has completely escaped any consequence so far because ‘she special’
