Most intriguing character in this show by far for me, and the only one with clear motivations for what he does

[@tessareea]

He acts, everyone else reacts.

[@TheSolarium18]

The darkling is basically magneto for grishas

[@coniiiism]

Facts bestie

[@aryanemarques2089]

I stand by everything you say, I love this character

[@toobusytocare7555]

Same, I want to know more about him.

[@n.7lovely]

"Why don't you leave me alone?" I whispered one night when he stalked behind my back, while I was trying to work at my desk. Long minutes passed. I didn't think he would answer, I even had time to hope he was gone, until I felt his hand on my shoulder. "Then I would be alone too," he said and stayed all night, until the lamps were completely burned out. -Siege and Storm.

Me haces llorar, el mejor personaje y con el unico que me he encariñado es Aleksander

[@hermionegranger7059]

I really love him and if I was Alina I would stay with him

[@Schutz_Staffel]

The BEST Character in Shadow&Bone

[@samueljezi6313]

!!!!!💯

[@aryanemarques2089]

Yeees

[@n.7lovely]

In the end, it did was faith that defeated him. He had faith that the king and the people would accept Grisha if he helped in the war. Then when that didn't happen, he had faith in his own power, thinking that he could create an army to fight and protect the Grisha. And finally, when that failed too, he had faith in the idea that the Summoner of the Sun would help him, that Alina, his only equal, would return to him in the end, no matter what.

[@rbhatt2247]

Very well said. A broken soul and a far deeper character than any other. Hope the show rather than following alina and mal, explores his viewpoint, however tragic and doomed

[@BellavedNightmare]

I'm happy that people can see him in that way... The right one with all of his nature. It's a deep and forgotten wood full of darkness. Be gentle while entering.

[@zimanarine2780]

I absolutely love him. He taught her so much and give her a place to learn

[@BMEdits12]

Amazing job. The Darkling is such a dark character but at the same time has so many more deep meanings and you portrait them really good in this edit. 👏

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much!

[@beletristabennett6910]

The Darkling deserves WAY MORE ROOM he is the MOST INTERESTING character with depth and latitudes in the books/show and if they don't give us Darklina or a Darkling redemption of sorts i simply want more Darkling! 😀 Vilains don't break because they are tenacious even when they are in love....and this anthagonist is just too interesting to waiste in a predictable classical boring lame villain story....and yep Ben barnes empathic stance when playing the character just gave the right nuance and depth to him. I sincerely hope the writers listen to the fandom....😀👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌷💐#Darklina #Darkling4ever

[@ariannaarraiz2907]

"He's eternal" yassss my favorite villain ever🖤🖤🖤

[@vanessaprincesssa]

A video JUST WITH ALEKSANDER'S WORDS - I am going to show this to anyone who dares to bully me for loving this man now. This is perfect. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TALENT

[@colpodifulmine8464]

He should be the definition of "charismatic leader"

[@GamerGal30]

I love the Darkling, I don’t see him as evil born but evil made by the world he lived in, I do think there is still good and light in him and it can be found. Such a good show 🙌🏼

[@dominoesrising]

oh my god this was so breathtaking! SUCH a great job with the parallels. Especially at 1:43 - 1:50. WOW. Great study of the show and The Darkling!

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much for kind of words! Glad you liked it!

[@kasg-y3q]

I've watched this video like 4 times... Love this edit. The Darkling is most definitely the most interesting character in this show. Ben did such a brilliant job bringing him to life. I hope S&B gets a second season.

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much for kind of words!

[@aryanemarques2089]

Agree with you, he is the most intriguing and complex for me

[@SL-wl1zl]

The most charming character of Shadow and Bone🥰

[@camille0704]

I love this character, the best of the show, thank you for this edit!

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much!

[@MKEDITS19]

Ngl don't know any thing about this TV show but after watching this incredible edit I have added the TV show on the list

[@sophielambie3036]

The creators cannot cast Ben in this and then ask me to root for Mal, it's just not possible. 😅😅

[@kimnelly2860]

The Darkling is the first charecter that make me think about the "villains" are real...hurt people....ordinary people hurt one way or another...Yes he made the Fold but only because he loose his love in healer girl face, the king will kill his friends he try to protect them and him...actually when his mother said "did he tell you how lonely he was"...the true was he really was lonely...and when one person stay alone for long time like him the only thing he want is revenge to these people who left him alone

[@aryanemarques2089]

Yes I feel like sometimes it doesn't seem like his mother understand him, he truly was lonely, I could see and feel this all the time throughout the show

[@kimnelly2860]

@@aryanemarques2089 exactly everything he did and he does and will do it is because he is lonely maybe if Alina stay with him maybe she can turn him to the light to the good side but...I love how emotional makes me feel the Darkling... just amaizng job

[@aryanemarques2089]

@@kimnelly2860 yeah right, I'm not sure if alina could turn him good to be honest, I think I would love to see a redemption arc for him based actually in his love for the grisha people because everything he does is for the grisha people(ex: created the shadow fold to stop the king that wants to massacre his people, he decides to expand the fold because he wants to stop war on grisha and etc), his desire to make grisha safe is such a fundamental part of his character, you see he is lonely not just because he is immortal, it's also because he is the only one carrying the burden of protecting grisha for such a long time, this is one of the reasons I think I love his character. He is the only one with clear motivations to help grisha people, alina is just worried about getting back to mal, mal is just worried about alina, the crows are busy worrying with money and their own problems...he has many flaws, but he is the only one trying to do something for the greater good even if he doesn't always do this with the best means. That being said, my dream redemption arc for him would be if the producers created a bigger threat to grisha and humanity, a new villain or perhaps a war between countries...something bigger that would force alina and alek to work together as allies which would make alina understand his perspective and motives better( I think it would would a great character development for alina) and also make the darkling become a better person for his people again, I think if there is something that could bring his good side again would be his people(and alina could be part of this so we can have a romance 😉). Alina and darkling could improve each other. Well, this is my personal wish, I think that they are just going to follow the books though 😭 I agree with u, The darkling also makes me so emotional 😢🖤 I know he does many bad things, but I feel so much empathy for him that I cant help but wish a different path for him regarding the one in the books

[@kimnelly2860]

@@aryanemarques2089 Exactly I agree with you

[@felicityw30]

Aryane, don't know how you did it but reading your view points, I suddenly see things from a different perspective. It almost got me thinking that the Darkling can be good but the scene where he was enjoying the power from Alina's light is a bit unconvincing especially Alina's told him that it's her energy and power and tried to stop him and he didn't stop. If the show needs to be different from the book, they have lots of things to be revised. But your words are very convincing.

[@coniiiism]

The darkling >>>>>>> . Your editing skills are amazing! You gave him what he deserves

Beautiful edit once again! I haven't watched this show but this for sure makes me want to give it a go:)

[@crusade5886]

Thank you so much mate! Ofcourse, the best experience is watching after reading some books, but at the same time the universe is understood even without reading books, on the contrary, you can read after watching the series.

[@Prefizful]

I almost thought this was official trailer. Amazing. This series look interesting to watch. Wonder if you can make video game character like Kratos (God of War Greek and Norse) or Joel and Ellie (Last of Us) but from your previous videos, I can see you could probably make amazing Caesar (Planet of the Ape) tribute with his famous line like Caesar is home, Ape together strong, I always think...ape better than human. I see now...how much like them we are, etc. I am sure you can bring out the emotion and theme Planet of the Ape movie series.

[@mehwish7558]

The more I hear about the books, the more I feel that it's better that I not read them. The heroine is going to turn out to be such a disappointment as thr story goes along unless they change things from the book. I mean.... *SPOILER* Apparently she's not even the one who destroys the fold?? If this is true...I would say even Twilight is better than this book series. They need to make some major changes to the book's plot or this show will flop hard and fast. The Darkling and Ben Barnes deserve better than to be the victims of a morality lesson.
