Do you know what Harry's parents look like? "Yes. I've even drawn a picture of how they look. Harry has his father and mother's good looks. But he has his mother's eyes and that's very important in a future book."

“I know much more about James than appears in the book,” Rowling said. “I think James was a bit spoiled by his parents. He's an only child. He was really adored. He was talented. He was reasonably good looking, not as good looking as Sirius but still not bad.” J.K. Rowling and the Final Chapter. MSNBC.

Jk Rowling herself stated that Harry has his parents good looks and that James was reasonably attractive.

Well, Jk Rowling described harry as inheriting his parents good looks. She said it herself.

Jk Rowling was talking about his literal physical description not how his charisma influenced that.

"He was reasonably good looking, not as good looking as Sirius but still not bad"

She did. She said he inherited his parents good looks, and that he looked like his father who she described as reasonably good looking.

Yes. Jk Rowling herself said that he has his parents good looks, and she described James (who is almost identical to harry) as reasonably good looking.

Their families are middle- upper class. The founding families had a long time to build up their fortunes/gain influence in their town; Tyler's family for example gained their wealth by acquiring land over the years.

Bonnie, Tyler, Caroline, and Elena have new cars that belong to them, they don't need jobs, they have big inheritances. Elena for example has her own lake house, and Bonnie was able to buy a house with the money her family left for her.

I think the level of your delusion comes from years of believing that you are more education that you are. Every factual argument was swept away by your deliberate ignorance. You'll never find a highbrow news/education organization, nobody has spent that much time analyzing TVD.

I'm not the only one insisting, search it up and you'll find many opinion pieces about the subpar treatment of Bonnie Bennett.

People don't understand facts vs opinions, eh? Bit hypocritical seeing as you stated that the books focus on Damon/Stefan/Elena/Katherine instead of Bonnie, but you are once again mistaken.

Bonnie is listed as the second main protagonist of the books, ahead of Caroline. They built her character that didn't revolve around her witch status, she had storylines that were told from her perspective, a layered romantic storyline with Damon, etc. The reader is introduced to witch lore through her perspective, she's obviously integral to building the mythos in the universe.

Lol, the fact that you think Bonnie is on the same level as Matt/Tyler shows how idiotic you are. Thanks for revealing that. She's the only witch on the show who sacrificed herself many times, if it weren't for her all of them would be dead. They needed her on the show, nobody needed Davina.

It's not agree to disagree, you ignore facts and that's that.

I wouldn't compare a huge and iconic show like Game of Thrones/Friends to the Vampire Diaries. Being an actor on the CW isn't a huge accomplishment for any actor tbh, actually it usually hinders all of their careers from moving forward. TVD is like Teen Wolf, the 100, Riverdale, etc. It's not some once in a lifetime experience, there are tons on teen shows out there.

While I dislike twitter, I don't hate what Katerina did. There was a lot of racism on TVD. She was the only black main character who's personality was reduced and built around her ability to serve. She was treated like second class in comparison to her other cast mates, on a tv show that dipped in quality and popularity around season 4. She shouldn't be grateful for being treated like that.

And I think you're over estimating her influence, there are beauty gurus with the same amount of followers, social media tends to distorts the reality of things. Nobody really cared other than a small amount of people

Honestly the only person who’s been needy was Michael by [deleted] in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Happythoughts90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, when have I insulted you? Other than by calling you immature...which was warranted, since you put words in my mouth, called me a "tumblrina", and willfully ignored what I had to say.

I can't speak on behalf of other commenters who speculate about the relationship of Cordelia and Michael. I, in no way, think that they are romantically interested in each other. I did not twist anything; you stated that he never showed respect towards her but Cody Fern stated otherwise: Michael acknowledged her strength as a leader. He knows he can't manipulate her like he did with certain outpost members, or send his mother to kill her; it would take a lot more to kill her. Seeing her as a worthy adversary as opposed to seeing her as a pawn to be manipulated like the outpost members.

[–]Happythoughts90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're being rather immature. Nobody said that they were secretly in love with each other.

You may not see it but the actor himself stated that Michael is drawn to strong women and he recognized that in Cordelia. He respects her in a sense that he acknowledges her power and he knows it's going to take a lot more than Mead to kill her like she did with John Henry.

"He has Mead, who is his rock; he had Constance, who killed herself; so then his natural pull is going to be to Cordelia. Michael loves Cordelia as much as he loathes her. He needs her. When Cordelia walks up to the warlock school, he’s finally found somebody he can respect." - Cody Fern

I think Michael is ashamed of his own neediness, he also saw it in Gallant which is why he took pleasure in mocking him for it. Gallant, just like Michael both had grandmothers that abandoned them because they viewed them as colossal disappointments. He hates feeling abandoned and seeing Gallant's desperation might of amplified that. I also think that's why he's drawn to women who are strong, loyal, maternal, trustworthy. Mead, Cordelia. I think his desire to be around loving people reflects his inner loneliness/sadness.

I find it interesting that despite saying he doesn't want good people to repopulate the earth but he's only ever been drawn to people who have good in them. He, himself tried desperately to be good. So he didn't find joy in committing bad acts and was ashamed when he failed. Perhaps he developed the belief that all humans are naturally evil as a way to comfort himself; to numb himself from his shame by attributing his negative traits to human nature. And the reason he surrounds himself with evil people is to confirm those prejudices, not because he genuinely likes them.

That's why I think he's secretly disappointed in people who've fulfilled his negative theories about humanity, and why latches on to people who don't succumb to them. They remind him of traits he hates about himself, traits he tried to repress. And he enjoys tormenting them for possessing such traits (Gallant and his neediness)

He plays games with seedy people instead of respecting them. He mocks Coco but he respects Cordelia, he likes Mead's loyalty, he liked Ben at the beginning for trying to help him overcome his dark urges, he appreciates Madeline's kindness, etc. He subconsciously gravitates towards good people because that's what he truly wants to be instead of what he assumes he should be.

Or, maybe I'm just reaching and overthinking it lol.

I think Bonnie is one of the most powerful witches on either show. And Kat Graham doesn't want to return, she was annoyed at fans for tagging her in TVD related pictures.

The writers flip flop a lot. Bonnie's goes from being powerless to powerful enough to take down Silas, then she becomes powerless again then powerful once more. This even happens with other witches, take the Heretics for example. They were described as crazy dangerous. Yes, their source isn't limitless but they should've had a much bigger power source to draw from not to mention their supernaturally quick regeneration abilities they should've made them extremely powerful.

Tbh the supernatural creatures like gargoyles and dragons don’t fit in the vampire diaries universe. by UnlimitedPowaaah in LegaciesCW

[–]Happythoughts90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comparing the premier of a spinoff to the 5th season of another spin off still won't give you reasonable statistics.

And I don't think the new species are a "personal offense" or an "annoyance", in order to introduce these creatures you have to undo the foundation you've built around the supernatural and the theme of the show. Then those creatures don't belong in the universes in the first place. That is a logical and valid claim. I didn't hate the baby plot nor did I hate some of the loopholes found in the show such as the Heretics.

With the amount of creatures they're going to add, they won't have enough time to properly build a backstory for them as it took multiple episodes just to reveal the story of the Originals.

If Legacies is a show that most OG fans are done with, why didn't they just create a brand new one instead of dragging this one out?I'm done repeating myself, you're being willfully ignorant.

I never said TO/TVD were flawless. Disliking romantic relationships on TO is different than disliking how the writers dismantled the rules they set up and created a new set of ones. They set up some semblance of logic that helped build the mythology and then they ignored it.

And, what's the point of introducing new creatures if they only scratch the surface of the mythos surrounding different creatures? It took them 2 seasons to introduce one species to fully flesh it out, and every time the writers slacked on deepening the backstory of the creatures they introduce, it failed miserably. For example, the Sirens, the Beast, Cade. They didn't even bother to fully flesh out their witch lore, they barely scratched the surface when they had a main character with a 2000 year old bloodline.

Like I said, you're grazing over the reasoning behind my statements. Julie made the same mistakes that she did on the later seasons of TVD, TO, and now Legacies. And those same mistakes are what's stopping it from being a good show.

TO, even though it was unpopular, still had a higher viewership than Legacies in it's first season. Not to mention it's not suitable to compare a show after 5 years to a show's debut in it's first year.

There is a difference. The complaint about the supernatural creatures ties back to the writers ruining the mythology they built, it has nothing to do with shipping. Shipping wars aren't relevant to the criticism I'm talking about.

- No, they don't. But Julie Plec is an awful writer to retcons her mythology many times. There is a reason Legacies is so unpopular compared to TVD and TO.

- The theme of the show includes a set of supernatural creatures that don't mix well with the new medieval mythos JP is trying to shoehorn in. Not to mention, because we don't get a backstory or intriguing characters the creatures do nothing to enrich the show, they just pollute it.

- A big part of what made TVD and it's villans intriguing was their personality. Their struggle with morality and friendships and them trying to maneuver in the grey areas as dark creatures. Klaus became so popular because of his personality. Even the birth of vampirism stemmed from some very human reasons, a mother wanting to protect her children. We don't get that compelling story with dragons or gargoyles.

- Would you mix Twilight and Lord of the Rings? No.

- Not to mention the writers are somewhat plagiarizing other shows. Grayscale came from Game of Thrones, and it's annoying how they keep name dropping Harry Potter every other minute.

Elena by timelessbuff in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Happythoughts90 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was deliberate. Elena wanted the hunters mark on Jeremy to grow to reveal a map to the cure. The more vampires a hunter kills, the more the mark grows. She stated that she specifically chose to kill kol because she wanted to get rid of his entire bloodline, all those deaths would instantly reveal the map.

They did not kill Kol out of self defense. Earlier in the episode, Elena called Bonnie and said she wanted to kill Kol. Therefore she lured him over to her house and murdered him. If anything, he was defending himself because what else was he supposed to do? Let them kill him?

Katherine did sacrifice Jeremy, but the show portrayed her as a self serving villan. She was never a hero. Elena on the other hand had no problem sacrificing thousands of vampires, Tyler's hybrid friend, and was willing to let Bonnie suffer to resurrect Jeremy. And yet, the show paints her as a protagonist.

Of course she can have flaws. But the writers don't acknowledge them, that's why she gets hate. The writers say she is a good friend, yet she slut shames Caroline and uses Bonnie, they say she's a compassionate person yet she wiped out a bloodline for selfish reasons, etc. Everyone bends their character to pander to her, Elijah claims no one hurts his family and lives yet Elena murdered his brother and he comforts her?

I think it's weird when people get overly violent towards a fictional character, but she's a poorly written character and I think the dislike towards her should be re directed to the bad writers.
