I have a question about Hope

There are a few times throughout the seasons before she activated her vampire side where she didn't have super hearing. Now, in The Originals when she was in her bedroom with Henry ( the boy she turned into a hybrid) when she tells him to be quiet so she can hear the discussion in the other room. So, she clearly has super hearing but still anytime she needs help to hear something she has to ask a vampire? This show is very inconsistent when it comes to wolf super hearing. Did anyone else notice this? Also, all wolves are supposed to have super hearing because also when Hayley was helping rescue the baby wolves from Finn in the Originals, they went through a tunnel and were talking quietly when they came out, Hayley turns and says there are wolves everywhere. So, she was implying they had super hearing. Anyone else notice this?

What if the Salvatore school gang got transported to the past of the mystic falls gang?

What would actually happened if they were transported to the past? I am thinking like maybe season 3 or 4. Lizzie and Josie could see Caroline in her prime and see Jo and maybe give Bonnie some tips or vice versa, Hope could see Klaus though that might break some things, maybe Mg could get lessons from Stefan, and other adventures with Landon, Raphel, and other characters

I’m Glad I Started

I don’t know if you guys care, but this is just about the only place I can find people talking about Legacies 😅

I’ve put off watching this show for a while because of how many negative views I saw about it, which knowing the TVDU fans I should’ve guessed were wildly exaggerated, but I started recently and am currently on season 3 episode something (can’t remember). I’ve basically watched all the relevant parts of the show with clips and know how what happens, but I figured a full watch was in order.

And whilst there are some MAJOR changes to the verse, the most obvious being a whole new catalogue of creatures we’d never even heard of, I didn’t find myself completely hating it.

The MG and Lizzie dynamic is the most infuriating thing I’ve ever witnessed, but that’s also why it’s one of my favourites in the show, along with MG and Caleb - I really like MG by the way. I wish they did more with him being a ripper instead of just completely forgetting about it.

I couldn’t have cared less when Rafael died, that dude was either always doing something wrong or running away. I heard mixed opinions on Landon and he’s currently going through his punching everything phase after coming back from the prison world, but in general he’s not terrible.

Hope seems heavily nerfed I can’t lie, there’s times I’m looking at a monster and she’s trying to punch it like… girl just make its head explode or something. To be honest it’s sad that I’m not even watching the show for of her, my favourite characters are: MG, Lizzie, Alaric and Ted the Necromancer

Don’t even get me started on Alyssa freaking Chang, someone calm this girl down!

I guess the point of this is to see what people think, are these pretty popular opinions to have?

Legacies season 5

Curious what you think would have happened to all the characters and what the plot would be??

I think hope would have moved on eventually and she would have found another love interest. And hope and Caroline would have bonded!!

Death

I can’t believe that nobody absolutely nobody died. What the hell all the baddies die ,Zeus the king of gods died pretty easily yet all these flipping kids. are like pesky termites you can’t kill them even when you send them to Limbo they pop back again as though they are Nintendo Mario!!! It’s just so frustrating to watch this- again I swear a 10-year-old has written it !! And that’s giving a bad name to 10-year-olds ,they have more imagination!!

Hope Mikaelson Archangel Tribrid

Title: Celestial Legacy

In the heart of New Orleans, Hope Mikaelson stood atop the ancient ruins of the Mikaelson family estate, the moonlight casting a silvery glow over her figure. The pulsating energy of her lineage thrummed within her—a unique amalgamation of werewolf, witch, and original vampire. But tonight, an even greater power beckoned her.

For centuries, the world had known the Mikaelsons as formidable beings, the Original Vampires wielding strength beyond measure, their werewolf heritage granting them unparalleled speed and agility, and their witch ancestry bestowing upon them the gift of magic. Hope, the first of her kind, was a living testament to the power of lineage. Yet, she felt something deeper calling her—a whisper from the celestial realm.

As she closed her eyes, the air around her shimmered with ethereal light. She could feel the pull of the divine, the essence of the Archangels urging her to ascend. It was then that a vision enveloped her: a figure bathed in light, wings unfurled like the dawn, spoke to her.

“Hope Mikaelson, child of the four bloodlines, you are chosen. Embrace your destiny. Become the first celestial being.”

In an explosion of luminescence, Hope felt the power surge through her, intertwining with her existing abilities. Her heart raced as she transformed, her once smoky brown eyes glowing with the brilliance of the stars. She had become an Archangel, a celestial warrior, a beacon of hope.

Archangel Powers

With her newfound powers, Hope became a force of nature. The celestial energy coursing through her granted her the ability to manipulate light and darkness. She could conjure blinding bursts of radiance to disorient enemies or cloak herself in shadows to move undetected. Her wings, majestic and radiant, allowed her to soar through the skies, granting her flight that surpassed even her werewolf speed.

Strengths:

  1. Healing Touch: Hope could heal others with a mere touch, mending physical wounds and even emotional scars, bringing hope back to those in despair.
  2. Celestial Shield: She could create a protective barrier, deflecting both magical and physical attacks.
  3. Divine Insight: The Archangel powers gifted her foresight, allowing her to glimpse potential futures and make strategic decisions.

However, with great power came great vulnerability. Hope's celestial essence was tethered to her emotional state. If her heart wavered—if doubt or despair crept in—her powers could falter. Additionally, her Archangel energy was a beacon to darker forces, attracting enemies who sought to exploit her abilities.

The Conflict

As Hope embraced her new powers, whispers of her transformation spread throughout the supernatural community. Some viewed her as a savior, while others saw her as a threat. A malevolent entity, sensing the shift in balance, rose from the shadows—an ancient demon that fed on celestial energy.

The demon, cloaked in darkness, confronted Hope one fateful night while she trained in an abandoned warehouse. Its voice slithered through the air, “You think you are a god now, child? I will feast on your light!”

Hope’s heart raced. She could feel the weight of her family’s legacy pressing on her shoulders. With a deep breath, she called upon her Archangel powers, summoning her wings and igniting them with brilliant light. She soared into the air, illuminating the darkness with a radiant glow.

The Climax

The battle raged on as light clashed with darkness. Hope wielded her celestial shield, blocking the demon’s strikes, and retaliated with bursts of divine energy. But as the demon taunted her, planting seeds of doubt, she felt her strength waver.

In that moment of vulnerability, she remembered her family—their struggles, their sacrifices, and their unwavering love. Drawing strength from her lineage, she embraced her true self. Her powers resonated with that love, amplifying her light to blinding levels. In one final surge, she unleashed a wave of energy that engulfed the demon, banishing it back to the abyss from whence it came.

As the dust settled, Hope descended, her wings folding gracefully behind her. She stood tall, a testament to the harmony of her four bloodlines. With her Archangel powers intertwined with her werewolf speed, witchcraft, and vampire strength, she had forged a new legacy—a celestial guardian.

Hope Mikaelson was no longer just a legacy of her family; she was a beacon of hope for all. With her heart full of determination and love, she stepped into her new role, ready to protect her world from the shadows while embodying the light of the Archangels. In that sacred moment, she understood her true power—one that came not just from her abilities but from the love she carried within her.

Hope Mikaelson's unique combination of Werewolf, Witch, Original Vampire, and Archangel abilities creates a multifaceted and powerful character. Here’s how these powers interact:

  1. Werewolf Powers:

1- Enhanced Speed and Agility: Hope's werewolf heritage grants her extraordinary speed and reflexes. When combined with her Archangel powers, she can move faster than the eye can see, making her nearly untouchable in battle. This agility allows her to dodge attacks and reposition herself quickly during confrontations. 2- Superhuman Strength: While her Archangel powers amplify her physical abilities, her werewolf strength provides the raw power necessary for close combat. In moments of high tension or when protecting others, her werewolf strength can enhance her celestial might, allowing her to deliver devastating blows.

  1. Witch Powers:

  2. Magic Manipulation: Hope’s witch abilities allow her to harness and manipulate magical energy. This complements her Archangel powers, enabling her to weave spells that enhance her celestial abilities. For example, she can create magical barriers in conjunction with her celestial shields for added protection.

  3. Nature’s Connection: As a witch, Hope shares a deep connection with nature, allowing her to draw energy from the earth and the elements. This connection can amplify her Archangel powers, granting her greater control over light and darkness, and enabling her to summon natural forces in battle.

  4. Original Vampire Powers:

  5. Immortality and Healing: Her vampire lineage provides her with regenerative abilities. While her Archangel powers allow for healing, her vampire genetics give her resilience against damage, enabling her to recover quickly from injuries sustained in battle. This combination means she can endure prolonged fights without succumbing to exhaustion.

  6. Compulsion and Charisma: As an Original Vampire, Hope possesses the ability to compel others. This power can be enhanced by her Archangel status, allowing her to influence not just mortals but also other supernatural beings, making her a formidable force in negotiations or confrontations.

Synergistic Effects:

  1. Celestial Manifestation: When Hope channels both her Archangel and witch powers, she can create powerful spells that manifest as celestial phenomena (e.g., summoning a storm of light or using shadows to cloak her movements). This combination can stun opponents and create openings for her attacks.
  2. Balance of Light and Dark: The interplay between her witchcraft (which often involves manipulating natural and dark forces) and her Archangel abilities (which are rooted in light and divinity) allows Hope to maintain balance. She can tap into darker magic when necessary, channeling it through her Archangel powers without losing herself to it.
  3. Enhanced Leadership: The combination of her powers makes her a natural leader. She can inspire and protect those around her, using her Archangel abilities to instill hope while relying on her witchcraft to strategize and execute plans. Her vampire charm adds an element of persuasion, ensuring others rally behind her.

Weaknesses:

  1. Emotional Vulnerability: The strength of her Archangel powers is closely tied to her emotional state. If she experiences strong negative emotions, it could weaken her abilities. This is compounded by her werewolf side, which can be influenced by primal instincts.
  2. Target for Dark Forces: Her unique blend of powers makes her a target for beings seeking to exploit her abilities. Her Archangel essence can draw dark entities, necessitating constant vigilance.

Hope Mikaelson’s powers not only coexist but also enhance one another, creating a character of incredible depth and strength. Her abilities allow her to adapt to various situations, making her a versatile fighter and protector, capable of handling the complexities of both celestial and earthly threats. This unique synergy empowers her to navigate her challenges while carrying the weight of her legacy with grace and determination.

Hope Mikaelson's Archangel abilities, as a unique celestial being, would encompass a variety of supernatural powers that reflect both her divine nature and her connection to her lineage. Here are some specific Archangel abilities she might possess:

  1. Light Manipulation

    1. Blinding Radiance: Hope can emit blinding light that can disorient or incapacitate her enemies.
    2. Construct Creation: She can shape light into weapons or shields, forming barriers of pure light for protection or offensive strikes.
  2. Healing Powers

    1. Healing Touch: Hope can heal physical wounds and ailments through direct touch, restoring health to herself or others.
    2. Emotional Healing: She possesses the ability to soothe emotional pain, alleviating trauma and instilling hope in others.
  3. Flight

    1. Celestial Wings: Hope has magnificent wings that allow her to fly at incredible speeds, granting her aerial maneuverability and an advantage in battle.
  4. Divine Insight

    1. Foresight: Hope can glimpse possible future events, allowing her to make informed decisions and avoid potential dangers.
    2. Intuition: Enhanced instincts enable her to sense the intentions and emotions of those around her.
  5. Celestial Shield

  6. Protective Barriers: She can create shields of light that deflect physical and magical attacks, providing protection for herself and others.

  7. Absorption: Hope can absorb magical energies directed at her and redirect them, turning the enemy's power against them.

  8. Elemental Control

    1. Nature’s Wrath: She can summon natural elements (like wind, rain, or light) to aid her in battle, channeling them into powerful attacks.
    2. Environmental Manipulation: Hope can temporarily alter the environment around her, creating obstacles or advantages based on the situation.
  9. Celestial Communication

  10. Intervention: Hope can call upon celestial beings for guidance or assistance, drawing on a network of divine allies.

  11. Soul Connection: She can communicate with the souls of the departed, gaining wisdom or assistance from those who have passed.

  12. Aura of Hope

    1. Inspiration: Her presence can inspire courage and hope in allies, enhancing their abilities and morale during battles.
    2. Calming Aura: She can emit a calming energy that defuses tense situations, promoting peace and understanding.
  13. Dimensional Travel

  14. Portal Creation: Hope can create portals to traverse between realms, allowing her to escape danger or reach allies quickly.

  15. Time Dilation: She can momentarily slow down time around her, giving her an advantage in combat to strategize or evade attacks.

  16. Celestial Judgment

  17. Divine Judgment: Hope has the ability to judge the intent of others, allowing her to discern good from evil. This can manifest as a powerful burst of energy that punishes malevolent beings.

  18. Restoration: She can restore balance to chaotic situations, neutralizing threats or restoring order.

Conclusion Hope Mikaelson's Archangel powers would make her a formidable force, blending her celestial abilities with the strengths of her werewolf, witch, and original vampire heritage. This unique combination would not only enhance her combat capabilities but also enable her to be a protector and beacon of hope for those around her, embodying the essence of what it means to be an Archangel.

Just finished the show IMO

So I just finished the show I hate that the show was mainly about Landon and Malivore. Then the last episode when they’re finally done with all that and the Gods. Caroline takes over, Hope, Lizzie, Cleo are their full potential I felt like if they would of added all that earlier in the show it would of made the show a lot better and it would of been nice to see how Caroline ran the school.

No one can deny that Jenny and Kaylee were parts of the best things that Legacies left us, but realistically, there was NO need to recast the actresses who played the twins in TO.

I guess I kinda get why they did it?. I mean, basically Bella and Allison weren't of legal age when Legacies started filming. Working with minors is always more complicated, however, considering that their characters were 14 and turned 15 in S1 (and Bella and Allison were 15 and 14 respectively in 2019), they were literally both the same age as their characters at the beggining of the show. The Originals S5 and Legacies S1 barely have a two-year time jump, that's the reason why Danielle wasn't recast (I mean, she was cast in TO with the mindset that she would be the protagonist of this second spin off). It's not that I was bothered by the fact that Lizzie and Jo were recast, it's just that the way they did it made no sense at all:

Lizzie and Josie are two characters who are supposed to be almost two years younger than Hope. On the other hand, both Kaylee and Jenny are older than Danielle. And while Kay is only two years older than her, Jenny Boyd was 27 years old at the time she was cast to be Lizzie, while Dani was 18 at that time. To give you an idea of ​​what I'm talking about: at the time, Kat Graham (Bonnie, who was the youngest actress of the TVD cast) was 29 years old, so we're talking about Jenny being closer in age to the og TVD cast than to the Legacies one. And that age difference is noticeable between her and Allison (Lizzie in TO). Comparing both pair of actresses, you'd think that at least 5 years passed between the end of TO and the beginning of Legacies. But it's confusing at the same time why Hope looks the same as before, but they don't...

I don't know, even today, when I think about it, I feel it's kinda weird. You'd think "Why, if the directors wanted Kaylee and Jen from the beginning for Josie and Lizzie, didn't they cast them from the beginning for the fifth season of TO?". It's obvious that they didn't because neither of them looked 12 at that time. But come on! Don't try to tell me that neither of them looked 14 at the beginning of Legacies either!

Bella and Allison were just the perfect age, the same age that other actors or actresses from teen shows have been in their first seasons (examples: Sasha Pieterse aka Alison in PLL was 12 on her pilot and 13 on S1; Taylor Momsen aka Jenny in Gossip Girl was also 14 in S1, just as her character. Even Dylan Sprayberry was only a year older than Bella (TO Josie) when he started being Liam in the fourth season of Teen Wolf).

Again, as I said, this is not a hate towards Kay or Jenny. They weren't to blame for anything, and they came in and became the best part of the series, along with Danielle. I'm just trying to be realistic here: there was no reason to cast 20- and almost 30-year-old actresses for 14-year-old characters, much less considering that Danielle herself was 16 at the time she was cast as Hope in TO S5 (although she started filming a year later her scenes).

Pitch a spinoff for Legacies

Pretty much what it says in the title. What would your ideal spinoff for Legacies? A spinoff for a spinoff... that was a spinoff for another spinoff. Try saying that three times fast. 😂

All jokes aside, what would your spinoff for Legacies be? How would it further the universe? Would it focus on the Salvatore School or would it introduce a whole new cast of characters?

As for me, I'd do a spinoff about Hope vacationing in New Orleans and protecting it from new monstrous villains.

Plots left unexplained at the end of Legacies does anyone have ideas or opinions about?

1/ Why the hell didn't Hope tell Lizzie that to kill a god they just needed to drain the magic of another god? Would the battle have been easier or not?

2/Would a spell with god magic as a source of power work on Ken or other gods? After all, wasn't it just using magic from gods to destroy them?

3/Could the Hollow return if it were possible to use Ken's death as sacrificial magic? I imagine she would be unbeatable if she channeled the death of a god, perhaps she would acquire the ability to kill gods by draining life like she did with humans, witches and vampires?

4/ Is it possible to create other forms of black, or sacrificial, magic using the magic of the gods? instead of using witches' magic? I mean directly drained from gods, rather than using common witch magic to power spells?

5/ Would it be possible to create upgrades of supernatural species by draining magic directly from a god? Like a vampire upgraded with magic from the gods?

First time watcher

Okay, so I have tried several times to get into this show & it finally happened.

I am a tvd STAN & I could never really get into the originals. I think I just hated Marcel & Davina (I never really made it past the first season).

But I am loooooving the first season of legacies. It feels like a really fun/new spin on a show that already loved. The monsters are SO much better than TVD & I’m digging the introduction of the POC. To see dope black vampires being dope black vampires just feels BETTER.

Why do people hate Landon

I only recently found out people didn't like Landon and I'm confused because I loved Landon he's funny, hot, nerdy and courageous.

Ppl say it's bc he made Hope weak but that's only because she felt the need to protect him even after finding out he was an apparent immortal phoenix imo Landon proved he didn't need people to fight his battles even if he was always getting kidnapped

How Do Legacies Fans Feel?

How do Legacies fans feel about TVD and TO fans when they constantly minimize Legacies and trash it, calling it a disgrace to the franchise or saying it was horrible compared to their shows? I’ve seen so many discussions where fans of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals act like Legacies is irrelevant or inferior, and I’m curious to hear how other Legacies fans feel about this attitude.

After seeing Aria in Penguin, I think it would be cool to see Danielle play Batgirl in a DC project

I think she could do it! She's got the charm, she's got the wit, we know she can do action scenes. I think she would be a perfect Batgirl!

Wouldn’t it be nice

Wouldn’t it be nice if they brought the original cast into the legacies? Like Damon and Stefan and Elena should all be alive obviously and if the old Salvatore mansion was turned into the school where do they live now? Has it been long enough that Bonnie live a long beautiful life and Elena is awake? Or am I the only one that feels this
