I do agree Bonnie Bennett deserves better especially when came to ending, but I prefer her relationship with Damon over Enzo. Since we see these characters development overtime throughout the series. Even putting there differences aside working together on some occasions. Also it was official in the books. Just thinking about it may realize how much fun it was to watch their relationship changes overtime becoming genuine, comforting, and entertaining to watch overall. Compare to Elena with Damon where there was just full of arguments, problematic behavior and and enabling each other bad habits. Bonnie never enabled Damon bad behavior and always was honest even when the other didn’t appreciate it. But this allow Damon to start taking some accountability for himself and changing for the better version of himself. While Elena would just give him a pass. Seriously the writers could allow Bonnie and Damon to be the endgame. That would had been better.

@@barsbarsbarzUnfortunately that’s why I didn’t really feel much when Stefan and Enzo died. I kept thinking “well, death has become a minor inconvenience at this point, they’ll bring them back”. And then they didn’t. And I was just a little befuddled, especially with Enzo, who died supernatural. Bonnie was at her peak power in S08’s finale, she’s brought people back multiple times, how could she not bring him back?

@marlowemichaelson1366 4 ай бұрын

Looking back on it, it is so wild that the original vampires were introduced so early in the series. Their prominence in every show in the universe really makes it seem like the entire mythology is really about them rather than Elena and her friends.

@alexman378 3 ай бұрын

When you focus on them, you kinda figure out that Elena and her friends were more of a minor segment in their lives. Klaus was the most connected to them, since he was close to Stefan and Caroline, but all things considered, they weren’t that major for the family at large. And if you think about it, the entire mythology really is about them. Among other things, Katherine, Stefan, Damon and everyone each of them turned exist because of them.

Ivy deserved better. Bonnie should've killed half the characters just because. I wish Seline got a redemption arc. Stefan deserved better in the end. It should've been Enzo or Damon who died to kill Katharin.

Elena and Damon didn't officially started date until late season 4 because everybody thought she was sired tell him after she turned to a vampire. Plus Sheriff Liz Forbes already accepted her daughter in the second half of season 2😂 lol... You probably meant that she reconcile with her estranged husband in season 3. At the end of season 3 Elena did not sacrifice herself. Rebecca murdered her by running her off the road in order to stop dark Alaric and pay back for murdering her brother Klaus who she thought was dead at the time. ☆In my opinion I think the MVP stars of TVD has to go to Rebecca and Klaus because without them the show probably wouldn't be as popular if The Originals didn't make an appearance. It was a smart choice to include them in the series and had a spin-off.
