The Magicians: The Making Of - The World of Magicians

[@taranova222]

The aesthetic of this series scratches my urban fantasy itch so well. I'm a writer, and when they were talking about the different styles used to differentiate between each medium (New York, Brakebills, and Fillory), I was nodding along like yissss. Very good show.

[@4Tom4lepus4]

Yessssss

[@midnightportal3952]

Ugh yesssss!

[@thecuntofmontecristo2121]

Pleaaaase if anyone knows something that scratches that same itch, im binging all old magicians content after my like sixth rewatch

[@Atljeepboy]

This was one of the best shows on TV. I am very saddened that its over and ended.

[@rutger5000]

I fell in love with this series when elliot mentioned the waver they needed to say. "Spellwork isn't unlikely to kill you"

[@waifkitten]

why is this show so u n d e r r a t e d omg

[@sefiscool9864]

ccxmplicated omg yes.

[@4Tom4lepus4]

it's so underrated it hurts, honestly. To me, it's one of the best shows I've ever seen

[@Skoora]

Yeah, count me in. I dismissed it at first as a CW style Potter knockoff but with angsty millennials (not a draw for me). I started it on Netflix recently looking for something new to watch and got hooked fairly quickly. It actually feels like the natural modern extension of Buffy and Angel but more adult and creative at the same time. This is a show that gives television a reason to exist.

[@mattwoolley]

Because of BS things like “ovary up” and all the in your face everyone is gay

[@DerUnbekannte]

@@mattwoolley these things are like little stings throughout the episodes, but they can't really damage the whole thing imo, they're just annoying

[@juliamiller5120]

I love how they make things happen practically on set with spells. That has got to be a huge help to the actors. It can be so awkward to rely on animation effects and could take multiple takes to shake off the awkwardness and uncertainty to what it looks like. So to actually make explosions and light flashes happen while the actor is in there doing the scene, has got to give some relief from that and let the actors just act without overthinking.

[@emiliarain7269]

The show was SEVERELY underrated 😭 I miss it everyday. Give us season 6!!!!

[@blueskybelyr]

I love the way the writers and actors speak about magic as a concept, and the real-world implications. They all seem to have a fantastic grasp on the characters as well, and what they mentioned about the 'coming-of-age' period relatively late in life, and how pain is such a core element in this world really reminds me of why I love the show so much. It has both universal and very personal themes. Especially for a college student who grew up on Narnia/Harry Potter and was rudely thrust into real life after school, lmao

[@eloraandkhan3288]

honestly I am not surprised to learn most spells are as real/physical as possible, it explains why its so easy to enjoy this show, why it feels so plausible. I love what I have seen of The Magicians so far, as a newer fan, and I can't wait for more.

[@hawaiiguykailua6928]

@@davidg3303 I think they’re referring to how every spell is rooted in something realistic. Hand position, mathematical equations, physics, and emotional state.

Filming technique called dutch angles. It works to make it apparent to the viewer when they are in the neitherlands. Used in a really interesting way

[@cjtrules1]

@@CyBOXbeatbox I was just about to comment that. Dutch angle / dutch tilt is used to make something look "off" or unnatural. You know something isn't quite right.

Omg is that what Quentin's laugh would sound like? I literally don't think the character has ever laughed

[@HickoryDickory86]

Quentin, to me, is basically Droopy the dog with ADHD. Always depressed and yet has a nervous, spastic energy.

[@bloodcottoncandy]

He chuckles mostly. He laughed twice. I think.

[@Infamousklutz]

So sad the ratings dropped so much and they had to cancel it :( In the beginning I hated it because it felt like a knock off Harry Potter but as it progressed and got darker it developed it's own personality. I loved it. I'm re-watching it on Netflix.

[@nickmacdee1948]

I love the Magicians

[@YuzuruA]

I love the series. Just read the book, and let´s just say that they literally changed stone into gold

[@Struwwel2]

I read the books first, in 2015. Kind of liked them, but not as much as I wanted to. Somehow or other I came across a reference to this series and binge watched. What they did adapting the source material was brilliant. Took a lot of liberties, but in the vast majority of cases they changes the made are improvements.

[@sinonslife4812]

Yeah the Magicians really transcends what is needed to be said and taught while utilizing a fantasy show. Once each character went through a VERY painful experience they became stronger like "the beast" in a way. *Spoiler* Like when Julia got raped by the god and witnessed all her friends get brutally killed, not only did she lose a piece of herself but she also overcame and rekindled a lot of the relationships she originally lost. She could potentially be the strongest magician, next to Allison, and the fact that she got rejected by Brakebills makes her even stronger in that sense. Allison losing her brother and in a way her life strengthened her use of magic. Eliot being trapped in Fillory and not being able to live the life he wanted helped him grow, by forcing him to genuinely care about others and become a a great leader and Margo giving up a piece of herself influenced her to not be as prideful as she once was (even though she is queenXD). I can go on with each character but the testament to pain is something that stuck with me throughout this show.

[@flaShfIr3]

Sinon's Life Best noncringy reply I’ve seen between this and the gag reel. Thank you.

[@bee4907]

I like to think of it as you can't have magic without pain. I think that's why I love it so much because my whole life has been painful. Look at Julia in season 3. Magic is gone she has suffered the most and has the greatest magic.

[@bee4907]

I'm so glad some one else sees it the way I do.

[@eliotwestpy3101]

i feel like another reason its so easy to grasp is they make it easy for the magicians to feel real. They include things we know as mystical (unicorns, aztecs, jin, greek mythology,norse mythology, hell even harry potter and dungeons and dragons are constantly mentioned in the show). It shows average people with problems find this whole new world and all these introverted weirdos banding together and becoming friends and hurting,suffering,being happy,being high,being in love. It makes it clear they aren't the strongest shit out their. The show shows them being people in a world of magic and not wizards. That's what makes it so real.

[@SaraSparks19922]
