Lizzie and Hope from Legacies are in front of a closeup of Hope's eyes.
Summary The Originals’ spinoff Legacies includes many storylines that I can’t believe made it to air. Like many young adults in the 2010s, I became obsessed with The Vampire Diaries, watching the original series and both spinoffs. Among the The Vampire Diaries’ fandom, Legacies is typically considered the butt of the joke due to its campy homages and Monster of the Week format. However, I grew to appreciate the show’s unique voice and exploration of the supernatural TVD world.
Moreover, the decision to make Rafael a descendant of King Arthur and the only one who can pull Excalibur from the stone seems pointless because he leaves the show in the very next episode. They had to have known prior to filming that episode that Peyton Alex Smith was leaving Legacies. I would have preferred they make a different character the royal descendant and use that as a throughline that influences character development.
8 The Introduction Of Sebastian The Sebastian Storyline Hurts Lizzie's Character And Contradicts The Vampire Diaries Close Lizzie deserved a romantic interest in Legacies, but they severely missed the mark with Sebastian. One major issue with this storyline is that it uses Lizzie’s mental illness as a plot device, which is not only poor writing but unnecessarily cruel to the character. There was no point in making Lizzie question her sanity other than moving the story forward.
7 Hope's Being Defined By Her Love Interest Hope Mikaelson's Identity Shouldn't Have Revolved Around Landon Kirby Close The Originals did a great job setting up Hope Mikaelson’s personality, background, and flaws. The character struggles with her lack of familial support and strives for their attention. She has a contentious relationship with Lizzie and Josie. She has a strong, albeit naive, sense of justice, using her tribrid abilities to protect the people around her.
On top of this, every one of her love interests gets cut short. Despite her immense growth, she never gets the happy ending others earn. Then, Legacies season 4 writes Josie off in the most unsatisfying way – suddenly putting her on a bus. The writers should have given Josie more respect and care as a character instead of writing off her happiness.
Hope is shown flirting with and nearly kissing Josie in an alternate reality. Then, in Legacies season 2, episode 6, “That’s Nothing I Had To Remember,” Hope confirms that she had a crush on Josie. Finally, in Legacies season 4, she’s shown flirting and dancing with a woman while her humanity is off. However, I found myself frustrated when she never confirmed her bisexuality by the finale.
Unfortunately, Legacies throws the original lore out the window, saying that The Merge can happen whenever the twins want. The shoddy excuse that the age is more of a guideline infuriates me. If the Geminis knew that The Merge could happen at any time, they would have forced Luke and Liv to merge much sooner than their 22nd birthday, as that would’ve prevented Kai from taking power.
