Legacies
Summary
Legaciesis one of the two spinoffs fromThe Vampire Diariesoriginal series and is substantially remembered for the many news report contradictions that inhabit the idiot box show . The first series is base on the books by L. J. Smith , and afterThe Vampire Diariesexploded in popularity , it made sentiency for the web and the creators to capitalize on its achiever . The Originals , the first spinoff , introduces Hope Mikaelson , play by Danielle Rose Russell in Hope ’s teenaged and young grownup age . She locomote on to be the star ofLegaciesalongside characters previous and new to the franchise .
The daughter of an original vampire , an alpha lycanthrope , and descend from powerful witch , Hope was correct up to be a memorable character in her own spinoff , Legacies .
The daughter of an original vampire , an alpha lycanthrope , and descend from hefty hag , Hope was pose up to be a memorable character in her own spinoff , Legacies . AlthoughLegaciesseason 5 was scratch , the series impacted the enfranchisement , specially because it castrate so much of the original lore fromThe Vampire Diaries . So much hap in bothThe Vampire DiariesandThe Originalsthatit can be unmanageable to keep track of the many magical dominion and creatures let in in the series . However , some flaws are so glaring that they ’re impossible to brush aside .
Despite the Legacies ' strengths , the TVD and Originals spinoff show included many storylines that I do n’t think should have made it to aerate .
10Lizzie Easily Breaks Her Sire Bond
Something that was nearly impossible in The Vampire Diaries takes a moment in Legacies.
Overall , the graphic symbol inLegaciesdon’t have to deal with the worst of grimness and difficultness that those inThe Vampire Diariesdo . plot of land spot that derail episodes and upended character ontogenesis , like the sire bond , just make a dent in the storylines onLegacies . Elena ’s bond certificate with Damon changes her personalityand is one of the magnanimous factor in her initial conclusion to plunk him over Stefan . have the best the bond is difficult , clock time - consume , and is often defined by intense physical pain to help the new vampire out of their fog .
Lizzie is scarcely touch by her sire bond with Hope and easily overcomes Hope ’s demandsand influence . Hope tries to coerce Lizzie to kill someone after she turns , and Lizze garbage because it ’s the correct affair to do . This is perplexing , as inThe Vampire Diaries , Tyler bites Caroline and about defeat her because Klaus demands it as his sire . Tyler bang Caroline and land he will never do this , but still must leave for the woods to break his shackle . Lizzie ’s ability to exercise self - controller and break the bond upendsThe Vampire Diariesplotlines .
9The Existence Of The Malivore Doesn’t Make Sense
The Malivore and Landon’s characters are a difficult part of Legacies to understand.
freak and the Malivore are meant to be treated differently than supernatural entities that dwell the early shows .
One of the core boast ofLegaciesthat differentiates it from bothThe Vampire DiariesandThe Originalsis the existence of monsters and the Malivore . Monsters and the Malivore are meant to be treated other than than supernatural entity that dwell the early display . It makes sentiency thatLegacieswould desire to distance itself from the traditional knowledge and account of the other series , as it was a new entity that should be considered a unique projection . However , Malivore and the monsters add together byLegaciesend up blurring the argument between the rule for existing creatures .
This also brings up the repugnance with the patch of The Triad , the chemical group that created Malivore . The Triad was a group of one witch , one vampire , and one werewolf who create Malivore to consume all the monsters on Earth . However , the timeline of The Triad ’s cosmos and when Malivore was made does n’t adjust with when vampire were borninThe Vampire Diaries . Additionally , if The Triad had existed the whole fourth dimension , they would have occur after Klaus and other hybrid for their think detestation .

8Hope’s Past Timeline Is Altered
How and when she gets to the Salvatore School is inconsistent.
The Vampire Diariesand its spinoff timelineis a confusing aspect of all three show . As time progressed , each show jumped ahead to describe for change in the grapheme ’s ages and to forfend debatable storylines . The Originalsincludes sentence skips double to describe for Hope getting older and Klaus ' absence in her life history . after , Legacieswould be position in the approximate futurity , though this is seldom crucial to the show ’s premise . However , the exact time she is sent to the Salvatore School versus whenThe OriginalsandLegaciesoverlap does n’t trace up .
Though Hope , Josie , and Lizzie are n’t the same years in the early show , they ’re described to be inLegacies . to boot , inThe Originals , Hope is get off to the Salvatore School when she ’s seven , but there ’s an inconsistency in a flashback episode later on . It ’s implied that Hope occur to the school when the twins were eleven , but this would n’t be possible , as they ’re two yr younger than her . However , Legaciesplays with the character ’s ages and pasts to best correspond the present storyline .
7The Existence Of Gods
Once Gods were introduced, it was clear that Legacies was going to change a lot.
Every God inLegaciesbrings something unique to the board , but they all gainsay the previously established ideas about how magic , lamia , and other supernatural being follow into the world . When the Mikaelsons were introduced inThe VampireDiaries , their fib explained how lamia were created as well as the powerful beldam line of descent that every Mikaelson descends from . The Vampire Diariesdoes a good job of making magic trick a tangible and natural force out that witches link up to through the Earth . However , this explanation for the supernatural is altered by the Gods .
Additionally , if the Gods ' index were fuel by human opinion in them , there would be more substantiation and grounds of their account . The prescript for how Gods can be and why they never appeared inThe Vampire Diariesare never fully explain . Many different afterlives and realism are discuss and explored inThe Vampire Diaries , so they would in all probability have encounter the Gods already . Overall , the Gods are a gratuitous improver to a franchise that already had enough lore to draw from .
6Blurring The Line Of The Invitation Rule
A vampire can’t come in unless they’re invited, but the exact rules aren’t clear.
One of the most enduring rules across all vampire traditional knowledge is that a vampire ca n’t come into someone ’s house unless they ’re invited inside . The Vampire Diariescircumvents many traditional vampire rulesby give them witching sun rings so they can walk around during the twenty-four hours and giving them unique ways around being kill time and again . When it comes to the invitation rule , every show inThe Vampire Diariesfranchise is fairly ordered with guarantee that a lamia has the weakness that they ca n’t enter a home where they ’re not welcome .
This contradicts a moment inThe Vampire Diarieswhen Bonnie invite Stefan in spite of appearance only by nodding .
However , Legaciesalters the specific nuances and requirements of this rule . Hope gets inside the schooling without an invitation after she ’s plough in the wake of turn off her mankind switch . Additionally , it ’s explicitly stated inLegaciesthat a vampire must be verbally tempt in for it to work . This oppose a moment inThe Vampire Diarieswhen Bonnie ask round Stefan within but by nod . Though this is a smaller item and could easily be overlooked , it shows the rift betweenLegaciesandThe Vampire Diaries .
Legacies is a Supernatural Fantasy Drama created by Julie Plec and starring Danielle Rose Russell, Jenny Boyd, Kaylee Bryant, and Aria Shahghasemi. The series if a spin-off of the show The Originals. The premise revolves around Hope Mikaelson, a character deeply rooted in the world of vampires, witches, and werewolves, as she attempts to integrate into life and the many struggles that come with it.
5The Siphoners Powers & Twin Merge
Lizzie and Josie have the difficult job of shouldering the Gemini twin burden.
At the start ofLegacies , Lizzie and Josie are introduced as Alaric ’s children , who are biologically Jo ’s but were carried by Caroline inThe Vampire Diaries . How a lamia can carry children is one of the many problems with the original serial , but things maturate even more complicated when Lizzie and Josie grow up . As member of the Gemini Coven , the baby make love that they have to do The Mergeas part of the coven ’s traditions . However , The Merge fix who will become the coven ’s leader , meaning one of them will pass in the cognitive operation .
Though Lizzie and Josie are close-fitting , this fact makes things very difficult for them and their family relationship , and they were bear siphoners . While they ca n’t generate their own magic trick , they can draw it from other beginning and even keep this ability if they ’re turn into vampire . The problems of syphon and meeting are immense issues inThe Vampire Diaries . Conversely , they ’re easy resolved with little drama inLegacies . They void The Merge when Lizzie becomes a vampire , and siphoning is characterized by something easyand painless . This diverges from how both were characterize before .
4The Dark Magic Split Personality
Tapping into dark magic does something entirely different in Legacies.
dreary thaumaturgy physically and emotionally affect Bonnie , but she ’s still herself and does n’t have a raging personality shift .
It ’s obvious that Julie Plec , an executive producer and co - creator ofThe Vampire Diaries , is interested in other supernatural teenager drama . Buffy The Vampire Slayerlikely influence the sour magic trick plotlinethat neuter Josie ’s personality , make her Dark Josie . This can easily be compared to the Dark Willow plotline inBuffy The Vampire Slayerseason 6 , but it does n’t ordinate with whatThe Vampire Diarieshad done in the yesteryear . Bonnie , one of the practiced crone inThe Vampire Diaries , has a few forays into using moody magic but does n’t change who she is .
Dark trick physically and emotionally affect Bonnie , but she ’s still herself and does n’t have a furious personality shift . Conversely , Josie becomes someone wholly dissimilar when she uses gloomy magic , even though it ’s ab initio for the swell trade good . Josie transform into an antagonist and behaves similarly to how vampires do when they turn off their world switch . While Josie is a siphoner and all witches are different , it does n’t make sense that the impact of dark thaumaturgy would be so incongruent with the yesteryear .
3Ben’s Backstory
The demigod who made everything more difficult.
Ben ’s history as a demigod and the so - called Prometheus of magic made him one of the most contradictory character fromLegacies . His backstory is a open adaptation of the myth of Prometheus , but he brings magic to humansinstead of flak , and his activeness spur the development of all supernatural beingness and monsters . ground on what consultation have sex about magic and vampire from the earlier shows , this would n’t be possible . Additionally , Ben ’s motivations are unclear throughout his arc , making it hard to stick to these change .
It ’s Ben ’s story in particular that stands out as the most anachronistic when it comes to already constitute plot line fromThe Vampire Diaries . It ’s frustrative thatLegacies ' final season was the one to alter the history of thaumaturgy ’s pedigree after so much of Hope and other witch ' identities are marry to how magic come into existence . Instead of magic being a part of Earth and witches having the power to tap into it , it was one man who made it uncommitted to humans , who then misapply it .
2The Humans In Mystic Falls Forgot Alaric’s Many Deaths
Legacies finally brought his constant cycle of deaths and resurrections to a close.
Alaric Saltzman pop off a destiny inThe Vampire DiariesandLegacies , but the consistence of canon and persistence when it comes to what people remember about his past is mirky . It ’s inThe Vampire Diariesseason 3 that Alaric dies the most , and eventually lose his body and is a ghost for most of time of year 4 . ThoughThe Vampire Diariesframes magic and vampirism as an undefendable secret in Mystic Falls , the fact that no one in the town seems to remember Alaric ’s past inLegaciesis confusing . He was a mellow schooling instructor in Mystic Falls for yr and was a staple of local events .
The inconsistencies in his deaths and citizenry ’s knowledge of them are n’t the only function of Alaric ’s character that do n’t always make the most sense .
Tragically , Alaric at long last succumbs to death for right inLegaciesseason 4,but it seems that this is always where his character is going to end up . The inconsistency in his deaths and people ’s noesis of them are n’t the only parts of Alaric ’s persona that do n’t always make the most sense . InLegacies , he makes many of the same mistakes with Hope and his daughters that he did with Elena and Jeremy when he was partially raising him , and Alaric should ’ve study from some of these past missteps .
1Hope’s Missing Relatives
The Mikaelsons loved Hope. They wouldn’t leave her at boarding school and never return.
As the daughter of some of the most powerful beingness on Earth , Hope Mikaelson always has oversized abilities and force . However , she got this way through gravid cost and personal loss . The many death within her family have a profound impact on Hope , and this regulate how she interact with the people who assay to get close to her inLegacies . After Hope get at the Salvatore School , she ’s very lonely and reckon Alaric as a surrogate beginner . However , it does n’t make sense that the other Mikaelsons would n’t come to see her .
Of course , this is probable because many actors fromThe OriginalsandThe lamia Diarieshad no interest in renewing their contract with the franchise or were booked on other project . Despite these real reasonableness why Hope does n’t see her surviving folk often , it still feels like a plot hole and a missed opportunity to further explore Hope as a quality . For much of the serial , Hope feels defined by her family ’s bequest , even though the consultation rarely sees them .
