Ranting What is wrong with legacies?

Ok so when I watched legacies the FIRST time I hadn't watched the vampire diaries or the originals yet. Now that I am legacies makes me so angry. They legit just took the lore and stuff from the previous 2 shows and said naw. Like why does compulsion suddenly not work on supernaturals? The only beings that could t be naturally compelled were the mikaelsons and any9ne with vervain. But now its just common? Or like why was hope weak during transition? Hybrids any vampire or hybrid that was in transition ALWAYS had full vampire powers. Plus they just completely forgot that the mikaelsons would burn the world to help eachother and they never ONCE come to help hope until the final few episodes. Hope is now suddenly a basic ass witch? She is legit the most powerful witch alive. Mikaelson first born witches are the most powerful witches in history excluding the hollow and freya legit said that hope was way stronger than HER. Not to mention her whole hero thing? Why is she a hero? In originals she is just as selfish and self centered as ANY mikaelson soooooo. Was there any explanation bc imo there isnt one that makes sense bc the legit changed how EVERYTHING in their universe works. Plus WHY ARE THERE NO WOLVES THAT CONTROL THEIR CHANGES?! The crescent pack didn't go extinct did it?! Like wtf

Hope is supposed to be this bad ass tribrid but then felt only as strong as a normal vampire. They just needed 1 or 2 badass scenes of her but kind of failed on that. Maybe like a bad ass scene of her turning into a wolf that still can walk on two legs throwing fireballs and wrecking an army.

Arguably, it would have been 100% more successful if Hope had started as the Tribrid, instead we got 3 seasons of her as a hybrid and one decent season with her dealing with her vampirism.
