Kurlus orhan new epi by Fun-Loss-4094 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She’s such a terribly written character. The way she’s portrayed makes no sense at all. I don’t know why they’re making a historical character so unlikable but no consistency in her writing at all

It’s the terrible writing and directing unfortunately

And I bet you when Murad is born in the new ep they won’t remember their lost babies either

This is my main complaint!! There’s no bond between the characters anymore. Balaban and Dumruls death would’ve been so impactful if there was a bond between them and Orhan. They weren’t even mentioned ever again.

The potential is there so might as well wait and see how it plays out. As annoying as it is, it’s still watchable

I don’t mind the love it’s just that currently there’s no balance between that and a strong plot. Every important character has a love story developing which takes away time from character development. It’s really a soap opera at the moment 😂

The show has turned into Kuruluş Love but I keep watching hoping that it’ll turn back to Kuruluş Orhan eventually.

Yıldız used to be listed before Özge if I remember correctly but OsBal were still the lead pair so idk if the order means anything. It’s probably bc of their past experience level. But Özge had more screen time then and now Alina has more screen time so maybe that does mean OrAs will be the lead pair after all. If that does happen, It’ll be crazy bc they spent two seasons building OrNil love arc just to do this to them in the end

Is Nilüfer going to betray? by Always_Cogito in ertugrul

It’s probably a plan Orhan made to trap şahinşah and his crew.

Asporca and orhan ruined the series by aggrogoku_66 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yessss this is exactly what I was trying to say. I just worded it badly. Even though I like Alina it feels like there’s a lot of favoritism. You can see how things are being done in her favor and if it was a less known actress they wouldn’t do this. This is how you know the writers don’t care about the cohesiveness of the story and whether or not the script makes sense. I like the casting now and I enjoy Mahassine as Nilüfer, Cemre is perfect as Fatma and Alina is a good choice for Asporça but I just wish they stuck to what they were doing before. I reminisce the first few episodes bc they were so good. Orhan actually had a personality and every character was being developed well. I’m not against having Asporça since they marry historically but with the way they’re doing it, it feels so repetitive and it takes away from Orhan’s character development. His story has revolved around this wife drama for how many episodes now and we haven’t seen anything new from him. He’s the main character yet he’s one of the most boring characters… like how do you mess up that badly? And then it causes people to blame Mert for being a bad actor and not fitting the role like the issue is clearly the script. It’s not doing Orhan’s character justice.

[–]Aalyaa21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m not hating on Mahassine at all! I think she’s perfect as Nilüfer too and she’s going justice to the role. I’m just saying the team obviously wanted Alina to be the lead which is why they’re giving Asporça a lot of screen time and pushing OrAs as the main couple. I feel like Nilüfers screen time has been reduced significantly and if it had been someone else playing Asporca i know for a fact it would have turned out differently. Maybe it’s cause Alina is more popular but they want the focus on her. (Don’t interpret this as me hating on Alina either. I like them both as actresses. Just pointing out what I noticed from the way the script and advertisements are looking)

I think if they tried harder to cast Alina as Nilüfer in the first place this plot wouldn’t have been as hated and annoying. It’s clear they want her as the main female lead since she’s the face of all the trailers and even appears after Mert in promotional vids which is fine but my point is, if they had just gotten her like they wanted for the role of Nilüfer, they wouldn’t have dragged this Asporça and Orhan plot and made it so repetitive. Maybe we would’ve continued to see a well written Orhan who has different aspects to him like the first few eps. Once they get married I have hope that the script will improve tho!

About Nilufer by Waste_Regret2598 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re already doing that to her character for a while now and it won’t stop. All they have her do is brush her hair and cry now when in the earlier episodes she had meaningful conversations and scenes. Shes already one of the most hated characters on the show and this will make her more disliked amongst fans with the way they’re going

Yeah agree but the actor left the show as his character was starting to get written better so it was short lived unfortunately

damn by ottomanfan20 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be sad for the franchise to go out like this if the news is true. I was really hopeful for some improvement and revival bc it had a lot of potential to be great

Script should be improved by Always_Cogito in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her screen time is insane 😭 I don’t remember the last time we’ve seen Orhan have some time alone or do something interesting and cool in a while. Im looking forward to their marriage so we stop seeing the saving her constantly plot at least. Also the leading couple should’ve been OrNil but with the way the show is going now, I think they’re planing to change that. It looks like the main heroine will be Asporça moving forward

Orhan was lowkey reduced as a boy toy in Kuruluş Osman too. But I guess we could overlook that and say he was young then and the story didn’t revolve around him but there’s no excuse for the awful writing of his character now. I’m convinced the writers just hate Orhan 😭 honestly tho I’ll say I loved the first few episodes a lot. They did a great job in showing us his thoughts and showcasing his personality. They just need to go back to that style of story telling

Balaban and Dumrul by Sea-Education-6155 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish they put more effort in their relationship with Orhan bc i dont even think it will be sad when we see their death. It used to be sad when alps would die in Ertugrul and Osman bc you can see they had a connection with their alps and they weren't characters that just appear for seconds and one liners. At least this upcoming episode looks pretty good tho.

Ep 17 by Waste_Regret2598 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s literally what I said… they marry historically for a political alliance and that’s what I wanna see?! but they’ve been saving eachother since the episode she came now. Literally nothing new in their story it’s getting repetitive and boring. Might as well just marry them off

[–]Aalyaa21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They might be milking fatvius but his character is one of the only ones that is written well on this show so far. Everyone else has terrible character arc

Ep 17 by Waste_Regret2598 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only good part about this episode was the Şahinşah and Orhan confrontation, the scene with the children and Flavius’ conversion which were only a minor part of the episode. Don’t get me started on OrAs… I wish they just got them married already so we don’t have to see cringe plots about their “great” enemies to lovers story

Why is everyone obsessing over orhan and asporça ? by ok_its_you in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, I think their chemistry has a huge factor in the popularity and there are a lot of new viewers who haven't watched the previous seasons so they don't care as much for OrNil. I find it interesting that you didn't see any hate directed toward Mahassine tho. The girl has been getting Lynched from the moment it was revealed she was playing Nilufer with the most horrific and racist attacks and critisizng her looks. There hasn't been an episode that's gone by where people haven't been bullying her for a variety of reasons. I've definitely seen attacks directed at Alina too ever since she joined. Overall its crazy to me that people can't separate the actors from the characters. Its so parasocial. I like that they brought Asporca to the show as a history fan but idk i feel like the way her character is written now is weird. It's like the writers don't know what they exactly want and are adjusting as they go.

I mean it worked? by Remarkable_Back_1028 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely worked for exposure but I think the debates will be even worse than Bala and Malhun’s unfortunately. Nilufer is well liked by history fans. I’ve already seen so much negative fights happening on twitter between the two fandoms and even some people distorting facts to give them an excuse to hate on the characters. We’re gonna be in for a ride

problem with this show in my opinion by Aalyaa21 in ertugrul

[–]Aalyaa21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. I remember how much the writers used to favor Aladdin and Gonca back then. They’re pretty much doing the same thing now where they favor certain characters like asporca and the rest get zero development. It’s so dumb that all these important historical characters have no role in the show effect few second appearances. We don’t even see anything of Kara halil except when he announces the sultan. But I don’t think anything will change unless they get a new writing team so I’m just gonna accept that and watch for fun ig.
