If Genya had been Evgeniy, he would be lauded, called Aleksander's greatest soldier, instead of 'the Darkling's poor grooming victim who is obviously manipulated into vengeance because there is no way a FEMALE can be so cruel'. Signed, someone sick of Fruszi and Vatra's treatment vs Ivan and Nisho's

Though it would be interesting to have a male Tailor who goes against expectations of choosing Fabrikator route and decides he's going to be the most beautiful, fabulous boy in the world, thank you very much

Maybe Tatiana would keep him in nursery frocks longer instead of putting him in trousers because she wants a daughter and Evgeniy is pretty enough to be the next best thing

I don't know. So far I've encountered only people playing down Ivan and Nisho's reasons in order to make them dumb followers, just like the narrative wants us to. But yes, the girls are portrayed as stupid due to their weaker sex, forcing them to submit to the hottest male around, who unfortunatelly happens to be the evil shadow guy. The only difference is no one blames the guys for wanting to fuck Aleksander.

I've never seen any of the Darkling's followers lauded, aside from the circles of the Darkling's stans, so I don't think Zhenya would fare better. Especially if he chose to be the prettiest boy around. He'd become fandom's poor, dumb, gay baby! (No matter his actual sexuality.)

If Genya were a guy, I'm not entirely sure how would that work with Tatiana's household. Sure, there are male servants in the palace, but the closest to the Queen were generally women. How close would be Zhenya allowed, to keep it apporopriate and for how long? Little boy would be less of a problem, but a young man?

I don't think change of gender would make the Queen like him more. Her main issue with Genya is her greater beauty and Tatiana's would be waning compared to any Grisha, any child will grow up and any beauty would be a reminder of that. The main difference is that the King would probably not be interested in him this way. But there would be others to throw Evegeniy to and with a different personality, even the Queen herself might take liking to him. As for canon!Tatiana, she might find other ways to punish him for something that's not his fault.

Shadow & Bone - S2

What I wanted to happen:

Kaz Brekker picking a lock

Feydor showing of more of his heartrending abilities

Feydor + Ivan reuniting

Fivan (in general)

Wesper (in general)

Who I wanted to see:

Feydor Kaminsky

Genya Safin

Ivan

Kaz Rietveld (young Kaz)

Jordie Rietveld

Favourite moments:

Jesper admitting to liking Wylan

Kaz buries Pekka’s son

David & Genya - “You don’t need fixing”

Kaz fighting the Dregs

The Crow’s flashbacks/hallucinations

Baghra’s death

The Crows fight with The Disciple

Genya finding David’s plans for a ring

Inej & Kaz in the chapel saying their goodbyes

Good things:

The sets were beautiful; Novyi Zem was so vibrant and full of life. The architecture and fabrics shown were so detailed, the streets honestly felt so full of life. I loved seeing more of Ketterdam and Kerch, it made it feel even more real. The darkness and grittiness of the streets was so clear and really added to the atmosphere of those scenes. Shu Han was simply a work of art. The merchant’s tables and their wares were so intriguing and realistic, and the alter (if that’s what it’s called) where Zoya and Tolya paid their respects to the deceased was so beautiful.

The costuming continues to impress me! The intricate details of each characters outfits really added to their realness and authenticity. The Kefta’s were absolutely beautiful, as always! The details in each of them was amazing - I loved how Kirigan’s Kefta began to feature Alina’s gold throughout the season.

The casting was fabulous! Jack was incredible as Wylan, despite not having red hair he really embodied Wylan for me. I thought Patrick did an incredible job as Nikolai and really sold the performance.

Some of the acting was absolutely incredible! Freddy Carter really channeled Kaz Brekker this season, and not only that but he really channeled Dirtyhands. There were so many scenes where his performance gave me chills! His ability to really become his character is superb! The mannerisms, the posture, the facial expressions, the voice, everything just screamed Kaz - Dirtyhands - Brekker. Ben Barnes continued to amaze me! His performance as Kirigan is honestly incredible. His ability to channel Aleksander’s vulnerabilities, manipulations, ambitions and cruelties all at once is something I will never not be in awe of. Kirigan’s pain and rage is so beautifully acted out this season and I found myself on the edge of my seat every time he was on screen! Amita Suman - Just Amita Suman! My God was she incredible! Not a single scene went by that she didn’t dominate. Her interactions with Mogen were so chilling and so harrowing. I wouldn’t be suprised if there was an Oscar with her name on it in the future.

Matthias’ religion. I loved how they showed Matthias relationship with his religion and how he is trying to reconcile wanting Nina while still believing in his God. The fact that he refused to fight the wolves as they were sacred and important to his culture and his God, and then later calling out for Nina (A Grisha) and trying to get to her as he is dragged out of the ring is such an interesting dichotomy and I’m looking forward to how they might take this further.

The transitions the season were insane: Kaz in The Disciples room -> Kaz in the river

Bad things.

Some of the acting left things to be desired. There were a few characters whose acting was not at the level as everyone else’s, and I found this quite distracting and it did take away from my ability to suspend-my-disbelief a bit. An example of this was with some of the background Grisha characters, such as Fruszi.

Some of the scenes could have gone further. The scene where Kaz tells Pekka he buried his son was incredibly acted in the show and I did love it, however in the book the scene was much longer and there was no mention or motive of having Pekka confess to Heleen and the Constable’s murders or him releasing Inej. The focus is more on Kaz’s anger and revenge, he is much more insistent in the book that Pekka says Jordie’s name; however once he gives up the information about where Pekka’s son is after he begs and Pekka runs off, Kaz reveals that he had never even seen his son and his motive was simply to have Pekka seen running out of town with his medics in tow at the same time that the plague was appearing at his establishments. Kaz is far crueler in the books, mocking Pekka and saying how the sound of his son crying for him was the sweetest sound he had ever heard. I feel like in the show Kaz rolled over and gave in much easier and far quicker, whereas in the book the exchange lasted far longer.

Inej should have gotten her own ship at the end instead of joining Sturmhond’s crew.

I would have loved to have seen my two favourite characters come back - Ivan & Feydor Kaminsky.

Overall

I really enjoyed it! It was fun and dramatic and had some really cool action scenes. I think it followed the first season pretty damn well, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they might do with a season 3. There was some bumps in the road along the way, things I wasn’t so keen on but isn’t that always the way...

It’s definitely not an accurate and verbatim adaptation of the books but it is without a doubt an impressive and enjoyable one.

Guys i think i know who is Fruszi!

Spoilers for six of crows bellow (if you are an only show watcher then this counts as spoilers too)

I was walking around and thinking all this information about Kaz’s revenge storyline and it hit me, it’s been there this whole time

EDIT: If someone already brought this theory to me and I forgot then please remind me so i could give credit to you instead

It’s Saskia!

It all fits, Rachel Redford posted about Ketterdam in her stories, so she was most likely a Ketterdam character.

Pekka Rollins didn’t use his real name. Why would she? It’s never said what he did to Saskia , what if that’s what “every monstrous thing is about” we are finding out what he did and this Fruszi is a close ally of Pekka and that’s why she is on so many episodes

Also the actresses are not exactly identical but they are passable as the same character

For the first time something is finally making sense and if this is NOT the case i will be the biggest clown on this room

Fruszi theories

So, we know nothing about Fruszi , i will make a ton of speculations bassed on absolutely nothing besides the actress´s look and how imdb list her as apearing in 6 episodes out of 8 (which is why i would rule out she being Misha´s mother or any character that won't require more than one episode)

I repeat myself, none of this things are bassed on material, this is me grasping at straws and trying to find an explanation.

Theories:

She is reemplacing Marie as Sergei´s girlfriend who gets killed in Os Alta attack

The Darkling´s second in comand since Ivan is probably dead and Zoya defected. To have someone to spill information and exposition.

Related to above, may be Ivan´s sister

Someone on Nikolai´s crew (unlikely since i didn't see her in the teaser)

Since Zoya is out of the question now, she will be a soldier and fill Zoya´s place on the Malina drama in S&S (i HOPE is not this one)

For some reason, sab choose to change Anika´s name

Fedyor´s sister and (this is a complete stretch) instead of Marie & Sergei, it´s Fedyor & Fruszi. Ex: after Fedyor dies, Fruszi betrays Alina like Sergei did on the book. OR , to make it more twisted: Fruszi dies like Fedyor does on the book and it´s Fedyor who takes Sergei´s place as the traitor

Last one...i am going on the rails here, it´s really important to me that you know that , i am very veery speaking from a place from bias...alright, this is it: Fruszi is a fake name, she is actually Dunyasha (I KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE SUBTLETY BUT....)

Not mine but:

-She is Matthias´s sister, this was told by someone else to me and while i don't see it pausible due to screentime needed, i will still put it because the things i listed before have even less bassis.

If anyone has something else, something that makes more sense that all the bs i just spit i would love to hear it.

UPDATE: i just remembered Arken was a show! only character who appeared in many episodes. So maybe is that, Fruszi is there to take the crows storyline , whatever it is.
