[@mhaw2772]

You forgot the “Grounder Pounder” Lols

[@ThePunikaTV]

I know many people hated Octavia in season 5. And yes, she made some "stupid" decisions, but I think it makes so much sense considering what she has been trough. And for that I love her so much more than before season 5. I hope we will see the repercussions of that in S6.

[@kevinharris723]

Stupid decisions? Her friends and brother kept undermining her every step of the way and the grounders who has wanted a war throughout the series all of a sudden don't want to go to war. Octavia's plan to take the valley would have worked if people would have just let her lead her army.

[@quizzlybear]

I mean most of her decisions were from "advisors" who conveniently became self-righteous when she actually did what they recommended her to do.

[@Crazylayzeeme]

I didn’t start to like her character UNTIL season 5! I don’t think that’s what the writers were going for. I certainly like Abby less.

[@KingRaichu]

@@Crazylayzeeme IKR?! At least to me it seemed like octavia was more popular than clarke so the writer tried to make her less likable but I still love her nonetheless

[@lordofolimpia1]

@@keirafay4969 not burning the crops will make her vulnerable (because no one will follow her anymore) and surrender (because it also means not fighting the enemy) and she's not the type of person who easily gives up and that's even why Indra chose her to be her second.

Melanie Argueta yea but she was doing straight until that cannibal part

[@idristlili3138]

黑色和红色V K O really? What if she didn’t? All those people would die, the human race could’ve extinct if she didn’t, it took every bit of her to make that decision, i bare it so they don’t have to that’s how leaders lead, Clarke is probably the most hated figure in the series and yet she was willing to let her mom hang for the others to live! Octavia kun skykru is the only reason grounders saw sun light again, every decision she made was a must until she burned the farm Monty made, it took her also not that long to see the wrong in what she did and stand behind the commander. Octavia is the legendary worrior of the series.

At 4:15 seeing her kneel down ready to take that shot to the head just like Lincoln. She was ready to see him again. And I can't believe how beautifully you set that up. Sneaky, and cleaver. Octavia and Lincoln will always be my otp. Beautiful ❤️

[@valrach7303]

I would even march behind bloodreina to the last breath. Octavia is the Spirit of the Show. Her story is such tragic but also the story of a true warrior and survivior. She never gave up. Maybe she lost her path in that bunker. But without her non of them would have survived. She brought them together. She made one of 13. Somehow i hated watching this falling apart in the end. Somehow I wanted to stay her as commander instead of bowing in front of madi. Cant wait to see her story going on. Maybe we'll have the old O' back. Does anyone wunder how she would be in season 5 if lincoln would be still alive?

[@Icats-qu7ti]

I still would love a flash back of him and her

[@magnoliababy8365]

Icats 3002 there is in season 6

[@DaGoon_]

I think Lincoln's death was one of the main reasons Octavia fell so far into the Darkness. While he was alive, he was her moral anchor and best friend. When she lost him, she lost her humanity and there were very few people that would have been able to pull her away from the Darkness. Since she didn't have Bellamy anymore, Bloodreina feels almost inevitable.

[@Noname-h7o8z]

I swear dude. I cannot watch season 5 because of how everyone treats her. Like she’s not ok she needs someone to be there fore her, but instead the 2 people she loves most in the world betray her. She deserves so much more

[@obong1]

The scene where she bend the knee to the new commander, was the best

[@majalopandic247]

When Kane said Octavia lost her way to happily ever after a long time ago I got the chills

[@MistahJay7]

He's a hypocrite for saying that. Kane of all people should understand what power does to anyone as we saw him be a Tyrant in Season 1. Yet he just antagonized Octavia and didn't even bother understanding that he himself was like that. He killed over 300 people in the culling.

If I’m being completely honest I wish Octavia would have died there, on her knees bullet to the head. She has gone through so much pain, and I wouldn’t be mad if we got a scene were she sees Lincoln in the end. I love where her character has gone and although it would be a crying moment I want her to see Lincoln again.

[@captainpinky8307]

"I want her to see Lincoln again" you want her dead?

[@MLSGaming001]

I'm a little late to the show but i just finished the season and Octavia is my favorite character and I agree with you. I think it would have been best to kill her there. I feel like she is gonna fall off the map a bit in season 6 and the spotlight will be on madi leaving octavia's "popularity" to die out. If she would have been killed right then and there I think it would make Octavia more present in season 6 if that makes any sense at all lmao

[@keirafay4969]

Not So Pretty Queen I would love something like when Thelonious sees Wells in season two when he’s suffering from oxygen deprivation. That would be incredibly sad and heart-wrenching, especially if she smiles a second before she dies. God, I’m picturing it in my head and it’s beautiful.

This is so well executed and thoughtfully crafted! Like WOW.

[@supremeio5930]

What made this edit really work for me is the lily pad game story. When Octavia said the first to touch the ground loses, and you show she was the first to come off the ship when they originally came to Ground(Earth). I had completely forgotten about that. It really showed her thinking whether she was thinking about that moment or not, perhaps subconsciously.

Woooow man this far more better than your Last Octavia tribute. I really needed to think about her character. I didn't like her in season5 but after your videos and videos from other creators. I changed my mind, she did what she did to survive and she showed people she is able to be a leader who leads them to survive. I am actualy glad that actress shared your video. It must be great honor for both of you and i am sure you jumped from the chain when you saw it. It must be incredible feeling and i wish you more of those happy experiences. About edit: First of all you are getting better and better. Its like you turned from easy creator to medium avarage creator and now you are turning into professional (I know you will say "Oh please there are far better than me" ) Yes thats right but you have little close to them by every your released video. Every video means to your new experience and practicing the skill. I saw you had talent when we met and i see this still. Honestly i really wanted to choose my favorites, but its really hard because when i write (START - icannot choose when to end it, because next scene is just same good as previous and same good as next one) I would to choose 0:00 - 4:43 and thats why i am talking about. Your videos in the last Month and half are incredible awesome. Great to watch and keeps you in story. Honestly i love it more and more Mat and i am glad you are improving your skills. And 1,3 K :O Wow congratulation my brother. But i don't want to be ungrateful or made you think i cannot choose my favorites so definitely my most favorite part is: 1:50 - 2:50 - I love on your channel fighting scenes. It always pure of energy and it feels so professional. Also sound synchrozation. You are big inspiration for sounds synchrozation because you know how to play with it. 3:28 - 4:43 - Thats my newest favorite on your channel. Your story telling videos with using sad music and sad scenes is awesome thing and belongs to my inspiration aswell. Now i now why actress of Octavia loves it

I loved this video! Octavia and Raven were my favorite characters on the 100. Even if I didn’t love Octavia, I will always defend her when it comes to the show and others claiming that season 5 Octavia/Bloodreina was a monster or villain. Although I felt Octavia and Bellamy’s sibling relationship was the true heart of the show, Bellamy was the sibling that liked to be in power and be the one pulling the strings. The same goes for Clarke. Bellamy never once tried to even understand the burdens and horrific actions Octavia had to endure to keep the bunker going and eventually form Wonkru. When she says “all of me, for all of us”, she literally means it. She sacrificed every part of herself until she became a broken shell of a person that no longer feared death bc she already believed that she was due to giving “all of herself” to her people. She never enjoyed power, and I hate how that line was inserted to shove it down the audiences throat that Octavia was the villain, and all the undermining actions by Clarke, Kane, Abby, Gaia, and Indra throughout the season were justified although they were the real serpents in the garden. Hearing Bellamy call Octavia’s rule and all that she had sacrificed a joke will forever infuriate me. He lived in peace and safety for 6 years and became angry when he returned to earth and could no longer control Octavia or give orders and commands like he was accustomed to in the past. She did not kill those in the gorge, that was all due to Kane and Clarke. Octavia was a remarkable character to watch and grow and I’m not saying she was perfect, however, she did accomplish saving more people by winning the conclave and taking out Luna, she United all 13 clans which no other commander/leader had ever been able to before (and also managed to do it without the help of an AI in her head), and was ultimately (along with Raven) able to walk into a literal war zone and talk humanity out of annihilating itself. She was a literal anomaly on the ark, a child that wasn’t meant to be born, and went from hiding under the floor to helping save the human race. That is a true queen and a leader that doesn’t want to be a leader or long for power, is more often than not, going to do a better job than than those that do desire it. All of Octavia’s incarnations on the show were wonderful to watch, just like this video. Thank you for doing Ms. Blake justice by showing that despite her flaws, she is a force to be reckoned with on this planet or any other. (Along with Echo and Diyoza of course).
