Shadowhunters. How to improve a whole season in just one espisode
Hey guys,
Do not continue to read unless you want to be spoiled
about season 1 of Shadowhunters.
There is a huge improvement in the fight
scenes. Maybe it is because all of them are among shadowhunters. But at least
that high-low speed sequences seems to be over. I really hate those. It makes
no sense and make the show look like a bad fantasy from the 90´s or something
like that.
But, there is much more that have improve since
season one: meaning the acting. I am really happy because I liked Dom Sherwood
on Vampire Academy and I was really disappointed by the fact the he was not
portraying Jace as it should. But at least in this episode everything related
to his acting has improved widely. He doesn’t look constipated anymore and he
put some emotions into his lines.
I liked Katherine McNamara as Clary for the
last season and that remains the same. But as I said this girl is kind of obsessed
with everything first with her mother, now with Jace. Still I like the
friendship relationship between Simon and Clary, as I had previously said they
really feel like BFF.
Alec still Alec and therefore I still love him.
I really think that Mathew Daddario is the ideal choice for this character and
he stills proving it. And of course, I like him with Magnus.
I would have like to see more Izzy in the first
episode. I think to recall that she is only in three scenes for the whole
episode. But at least she is starting to look much of a badass like Izzy on the
books.
Regarding the plot, I have to say that they
have totally deviated from the books. It is true that there are some elements
from book two, meaning just the boat. However, in this episode it has been for
the best. It´s incredible how much they have improved, because even when I don’t
see a clear plot line for the season I am intrigue with what it is to come.
Also, the writing has seriously improved from
season one and I don´t feel like punch half of the character as they open their
mouths.
So far, I am invested in this new season and I will
keep you updated about it. If you have like this post, don’t forget to subscribe

See you all next Wednesday.
I´m going to comment but in spanish. i´m afraid of making many mistakes jajajajja.
ReplyDeleteYo con esta serie tengo una relación amor-odio porque hay cosas que me chocan muchísimo y otras que es como.. ¿pero qué haces con tu vida? A mí la actriz que hace de Clary no me gustó en la primera temporada y en esta tampoco me acaba de encajar. Porque es pésima, inexpresiva y eso no me gusta. Jace es muy Jace. Pero mis favoritos son Alec, izzy, Simon y Magnus porque son tal cual. Son como los imaginé, son perfectos es que no les falta nada a ninguno de ellos. Respecto al argumento tengo mis dudas porque hay cosas que las mezclaron muy deprisa, por ejemplo me hubiera gustado que Clace hubiera vivido más su relación "amorosa" antes de descubrir que son hermanos y que Simon viviera más como humano. Y creo que nada más...
Jajaja, coincido en muchas cosas contigo pero, mi mayor problema con el show es que al contrario que a ti no me gusta mucho Jace; que sí que me parece que esta temporada esta mejorando un poco pero...
DeleteY tampoco me gusta nada las runas que se inventan de la nada:la runa para que las personas se transformen en otra; o la runa para enseñar recuerdos a otras personas.
También creo que deberian haer dejado más tiempo a Simon como humano y, la verdad es que ahora mismo estan un poco desviados de la trama de los libros pero, ¿qué se le va a hacer?
De todos modos yo espero que mejore porque partir del episodio 4 esta el cambio de guinistas. Por lo menos las secuencias de acción ya han mejorado bastante.
