six of caw caws

Even if he wasn't really thinking when he did it and mey regret that, but

-His mom is dead

-Kaz is more distant every time, specially after s2´s events

-His bond with Nina is non existent on the show (Alright, Nina´s bond with anyone is non existent on the show but i will shut up before i begin to rant)

-The crows are not a part of the dregs yet, so any friend he could have there is not included

-Big Bollinger here is not presented as a duo with Jesper and is mentioned that he no longer wants to play with him

-Doing the math, if Wylan is old enought to graduate from university (18?) then Jesper has been way more time on Ketterdam than in the book , which means either he hasn't been in contact with Colm for at least two years or (given that a lot of things can change) maybe they already sort of talked and had a let down . However it is, he doesn't have him close

- inej ghafa is a survivor of childhood sex trafficking. she has ptsd and reacts in a panic attack at even walking past the menagerie

- kaz’s trauma isn’t just pekka rollins being responsible for jordie’s death, and waking up on the barge. he had to swim to shore, age nine and barely alive, using jordie’s body as a float

- the darkling has done far worse things than are shown on screen. he is not a ‘lost man’ and alina is not his ‘balance’

- alina was seventeen upon the darkling being nsfw/ romantic with her

- matthias helvar did not lead drüskelle, that was jarl brum- matthias is only just barely an adult himself

- the crows are not their own separate gang, they are part of the dregs, who per haskell leads and kaz takes over from haskell after haskell sold out his lieutenant (kaz) to pekka rollins

- zoya, genya, and alina have personalities outside of either being traumatised or hating each other

- alina never wanted any of the power and fame and idolatry, and in the end of the books is stripped of it all. she is very happy about this

-zoya hated alina for her power, the only thing the darkling wanted alina for. i hated the implication that show!zoya warmed the darkling's bed and that she was sexually jealous of alina replacing her that way. zoya was his general bc she was powerful, not bc of her flirtarious nature and not thru sleeping together. that implication, along with his show-invented love interest being the reason behind the fold, removed from the impact of the darkling manipulating alina's emotional vulnerability when he appealed to her romantic notions of him. he is not some lonely, touch-starved boy in need of company to fulfill his sexual needs. thats the last thing on his mind and a disservice to zoya's character and her past. (she, however, did seek out mal. Again not for any power-grabbing motives bc he doesn't have any power to offer anyways but bc he's pretty. thats it. its literally bc he's pretty.)

-the grisha triumvirate is specifically designed to represent the three orders to show that they are equal to each other and no longer enforcing grisha hierarchy. it didn't make sense for show!alina to say that her, genya, and zoya represent the grisha triumvirate bc her and zoya are both summoners. its supposed to be genya, zoya, and david.

-pekka stepped down after kaz threatened his son. he removed himself from the barrel. he had lost his reputation and credibility and now all he wants is to keep his family safe. he did not seek revenge against kaz. i did not like that pekka seemed to be regaining power again in hellgate and just waiting for the day to bring kaz down. he lost and that should have been the end of pekka's story

-adrik lost his arm and learned to summon without it and this should not have been glossed over by providing an easy solution with the metal arm. we saw none of the struggle or trauma of the war and its aftermath in its entirety

my thoughts exactly!! like i literally don’t care about all the iconic kanej scenes or that kaz vs pekka confrontation because they were randomly thrown into the story with no sensible prior development
