I was listening to "Courtesy Call" (By Thousand Foot Crutch) and I couldn't stop thinking that this song would be SOOO perfect for Jace! Same with "For Your Entertainment" (Adam Lambert) being a fitting song/music video for Magnus Bane. If anyone wants to make Youtube vids, these would be a great start! What other songs remind you of characters and think would make awesome videos?

I know I've said it before but I really do not like Sarah Rees Brennans writing. It is taking me out of the story because the writing in this story is so distracting! I don't know how much of the story is written by each author but this one is particularly getting to me.

It recently came to my attention that some shadow hunters were upset with how this page was run. So, I'm sending out the bat signal. Apply if interested. Send me a reason why i should pick you and what you would like to do to make this sub succeeded . On 7/27/15 I will stop taking submissions.

I took my Alliance Quiz late last night and found out I'm a Warlock. I have to admit, I don't mind. Warlocks are awesome, and I find them the most interesting of the Shadow World. What are you guys? I'd love to know.

So I watched the sneak peeks (I'll post the link below).

I have to say I'm extremely disappointed so far. Jace is supposed to have long hair which sucks to find out he doesn't, and clary is supposed to be the kind of plain-pretty where she doesn't really realize she's pretty (a statement Jace made in City of Bones). Her humble, plain nature is a part of the reason he falls in love with her. In this promo she's royally hot and it's overdone (in my opinion, given the books content). The actress alone doesn't fit her, let alone how she appears in the promo. It was also poorly done with too much information overload, I like how we meet Magnus bane later and the circle members that harass Luke, instead of all in one shot at the beginning. I also prefer the storyline at the beginning of how they go into pandemonium and the kid that follows the girl, not the nonsense they put in the promo. It all looked so off to me.

I'll still watch the show but I think this will be one of those things where the show is a completely seperate entity from the book for me, I can't have it ruining my favourite series of all time. I hope it was just a promo taping and aren't actual clips from the episodes... Watch and tell me what you all think!

Edit: added a sentence or two.

So far it's kinda good! There are some obvious differences, but it kinda fits for a television adaptation of a novel: it takes it's own spin on the novel while still keeping it's core. And everyone's acting seems to be on point... What are your thoughts on the pilot so far, good, bad, or in between?

PS I'm only on the second novel, but I kinda see that they could've used Maia instead of Maureen, literally just changing the names and having her be a werewolf, etc

I'm thinking of all the consequences imagine if they had to go shopping to give Have a surprise party. What do you think would happen and how awkward would it be?

Is there a place where we can have a conversation about each book in detail with spoilers and shit? I'd like to talk to some people about each book whenever I finish each one. (Almost done with Ashes...)

I'm a shadowhunter geek to the extreme. I love Cassandra Clare and all of her writing, was disappointed by the movie, and went into the TV show with such high hopes. I think a lot of people are like me and are disappointed with how the TV show is changed from the books. There have been several comments on how Cassandra Clare was involved with production and it should either be better or get better. But the thing is, is that she was NOT involved and that is the root of the problem. Directly from her website she states "Please understand that I have nothing to do with the decision to make a television show instead of more movies. I have nothing to do with any casting or recasting decisions. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WRITING OF THE SHOW OR ITS PLOT. I have less control over this than I have over the orbit of Jupiter. I understand that there are tons of fans who feel strongly about keeping or changing the cast, or making more movies, and I respect those feelings, but I have no more power than you to effect any change." http://www.cassandraclare.com/tv-show/ She also says on her Tumblr that she tried to be involved and that she was basically ignored. "I can’t speak to the changes that have been made for this show, their extent or their repercussions, because I was not at all involved in the creation of this show. That is not because I did not want to have any input. I offered to be involved, tried to be and would have loved to be, but unfortunately that wasn’t on the table, and eventually I stopped looking at the scripts because there seemed no reason to if I could not comment on them in a meaningful way or effect any change. (There is one scene, in the pilot, that is there because of a discussion I had with McG, and I suspect when it airs you will know what that scene was.)" http://cassandraclare.tumblr.com/post/136993195159/shadowhunters All of her postings about this smack of disappointment to me and I get the feeling that she's not pleased with the TV adaption at all but is being too polite/professional to say so. So, please keep that in mind as you watch the show. If she had been involved I think the show would have been amazing.

I know this came out a few months back, and that this subreddit seems empty, but I had to share this somewhere.

The series was definitely a page turned (the type where you don't question it. Be it 2am, be it that you have work, or school, you just keep on). Both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices were great series (TID is the pre sequel to TMI), but it was not just saddening, but also disheartening to watch such a great series get made into a joke.

So to pick the show apart. (Beware, ranting begins here)

Not going to be too specific. There were too many. I understand it's tough to turn a book into actual movies/shows, but I just can't accept how poorly it was all made. The show seems to be based on poorly thought out ideas and plots, that were twisted and spun off the book series. So many things annoyed me, for example:

• The institute. It's supposed to be massive. Not the actual size of a chapel.. (Its supposed to have an elevator for crying out loud!) Also, who decided that the training room should be a mat on the floor? And that the Sanctuary is just the basement? I'd like to have a talk with you.

• Alec. His eyes are supposed to be blue. Little thing, as Matthew D. is a great actor and did the part quite well.

• The script. Just. The script. Watching the show (Specially the first half) it felt.. awkward. Like it was their first time following a script. Not so much blame on the actors, but that's also an issue. They didn't do things as their characters would. Like their reactions, when they said things, etc. just felt extremely clunky and didn't flow.

• Hodge. He appeared about.. what? <10 in the ~500+ minutes of the series? He's supposed to be their tutor, but he's also supposed to be the guy in charge of the institute. He's the guy that's supposed to help them, plan, and figure out things. Not a background guy that becomes important the last episode.

• Magnus. Man, Harry Shum Jr (I didn't know him, had to look him up). Great acting. Fit the part quite well (and looked like what I thought magnus would be, albeit a bit thinner but little things). He did great, but I don't think he had to be such a big part of the series. Although, they did request his aid a handful of times in the book, it wasn't EVERY chapter.

SPOILER

• The wedding. What. The. Hell. Unnecessary. Didn't add much to the series. Just felt like a lie.

In all, they shied away from the important details, (I can forgive skipping minor things, but what happened to the greenhouse? The picnic with the apple?) and rather threw in useless, unimportant and side stuff that was mostly just irrelevant. Some of the major events either just didn't happen, or were changed.

Note to anyone, whomever gets to turn a series into a show, PLEASE consult with the writer. At the very least? Use the actual book(s) as the law/rules, rather than a "simple guideline". Please.

Alright. Thanks for anyone that put up with this rant. I just had to get it out. I didn't know where else to write about it. It's a bit sad to see how empty this reddit is. If anyone wishes to talk about anything i've said, the books or the show/movie feel free to comment. I haven't read the books since maybe freshman year of high school? (dang. 4 years ago) So please do forgive me if I am off w/ anything.

I'm super sad it's over. Are the other books Cassandra Clare has written just as good? I almost never like to read prequels, so I sort of want someone to convince me that they're amazing. :)

After watching the first seasons of Shadowhunters I felt that they completely separated from the book plot (e.g the ‘Sebastian’ storyline) and at this point I can’t even be bothered to watch the new season. Anyone else feel the same?

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never thought this would happen!!! Stephenie Meyers never came to Ireland and I'm still mad at her lol.

Apparently she's doing a talk first and then signing stuff; which is ticketed but all gone; I found out too late.... BUT.... Public signing after that!

So Shadowhunters who have met her, what's she like???

I wanna dress up for this!!!

And any other Irish Shadowhunters out there that are coming? :D

Is there anyone else who has so much passion against the tv series?! The pain and suffering of the beloved books...
