I Can't Forgive The Series For Making Alec The Inquisitor Instead Of The Consul - Tumblr Posts

BUT YES !!! I like the series but it must be said the books are a thousand times better with their little details that weren't there in the series.

You have to read the books before watching the series, plus the series seems like it was created for book readers as it didn't really explain the universe in season 1 for a person who hasn't not read the books there will be incomprehension (ex: when Magnus tells Camille that he cannot have children (which is never explained or discussed in the series)) in addition to the choice of the series adapts lots of things from the 6 books in an impossible mess which for me was bullshit because there are lots of things which become inconsistency in the series

but the worst is that the series also took away lots of things like Heosphoros that I wanted to see or the character of Lily Chen or even small physical details that are important like Alec's blue eyes or that we rarely see Magnus' cat eyes even when he loses his powers we don't see them see not. Now that I'm starting to read the books I'm so sad when I read a Malec fanfic that takes the example of the series with the physical appearance of the actors and the fact that when the Malec couple in the fanfic have children none of them have the first name of Max or Rafael 😭😭😭

i truly hate the show bc YOU GUYS DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING WHEN YOU WATCH THE SHOW BEFORE READING THE BOOKS

you dont know that magnus’ magic is the same striking blue as alec’s eyes

you dont know alec’s eyes are the same color as the ancestors of a family so intertwined with his

you don’t know that magnus sees ghosts in the blue of alec’s eyes

you don’t know magnus is two inches taller than alec

you dont know that alec loves that magnus is taller than him

you don’t know that they dated in secret for months

you dont know alec’s wardrobe is absolutely hopeless and he only wears years old worn out sweaters with holes in the cuffs and magnus loves it

you dont know that sometimes magnus wears his worn out sweaters

you dont know that they didnt get married for years until alec became consul and they could get married in warlock blue and shadowhunter gold under his new law

you dont know they have two kids, before they ever married

you dont know their first son is named after alec’s brother max, who actually died during the war

you dont know that max’s skin is blue, and his eyes are just a shade darker than alec’s
