Not going to lie, but the part where Jonathan Rhys Meyers slams Jace's head into the piano telling him that Johann would be very proud was hilarious.

I like this Valentine then the one they have in the show because he's actually pretty badass and intimidating. I actually buy him as this big bad.

The freaking stunts are COOL

King Henry is still violent i see. Jonathan Rhys myers played him in the tudors.

Forsaken?* _Valentine: the blood that binds us both will empower her.. i will become her Void Vessel.. even if she will hate me_ *Jace: but her Ascended Voidling powers will murder both of you..* _Valentine: not if she gives me the Cup.. out of Love.. a true Morgenstern act of Sovereign Defiance.. to uphold the Blood Pact i used to give her the Cup by summoning in her, after i sacrificed my heart to revive hers.._ *Jace: she's incapable of Love..* _Valentine: keep telling yourself what you know is a lie.. you never knew my daughter even if you grew up as her younger "brother"_ *Jace: if she loves the Order.. she will* _Valentine: destroy you all with the parabatai curse you gave her.._ *Jace: you're bluffing.. you will die too, if she is capable of Love* _Valentine: we both have angel blood.. we can both host the Cup in our hearts.. our life_ *Jace: she would never surrender a Deadly Instrument to you..* _Valentine: she doesn't have any demon blood.. she is Aryan as am i_ *Jace: aryans can hate just as much as we do..* _Valentine: but she will know giving me the Cup will save my life from the parabatai curse_ *Jace: everyone says.. you're Invincible, but i know.. that's just reverse psychology* _Valentine: you.. Doubt my perfect victory?_ *Jace: she will never give you ..the Cup back* _Valentine: i will take my chances.. if she doesn't.._ *Jace: and banishes you to the Void.. to make you the Forsaken Vessel for her Void powers..* _Valentine: i will die.. her hatred curse will kill me.._ *Jace: instead of the Shadow Hunters..* _Valentine: if she is the only one who can kill me with her herondale power we share.._ *Jace: then you will die, and she will keep the Cup you summoned in her.. for the Shadow Hunters* _Valentine: even if she sacrifices me to the Void.. she will save my life, with the Cup.._ *Jace: lies.. False Hope from someone who has never tasted defeat..* _Valentine: you're wrong.. I have.._ *Jace: Nothing!* _Valentine: Blind Faith in my Clarissa.._ *Jace: she will never see you if she banishes you to the Void.. you will have been a stranger to her* _Valentine: time itself.. will change so that we become perfect strangers.. and she will never have been born as "my daughter"_ *Jace: because she is ready to sacrifice everything for Absolute Power.. just like you* _Valentine: I already have Absolute Power.. my Love for her will save both of our lives.. and her mother's Love will return the Cup before her parabatai curse destroys it.. so only the Shadow Hunters are destroyed by the curse you gave her.._ *Jace: Impossible.. Never!* _Valentine: I have Faith.. in my love for her.. and that Love i blessed her with.. is also her love for me.._ *Jace: the Shadow World will destroy you both.. before you are reunited, and she returns the Cup to you..* _Valentine: Hate.. versus Love_ *Jace: Die!* _Valentine: I won't ..because i entrust my Life to Clarissa.. she will choose Love, despite the curse that will destroy your Order.._ *Jace: we are stronger than you.. better* _Valentine: then why do you hide behind my daughter, like cowards..? do you so fear the Great Valentine Morgenstern? the Original Source of the Herondale Bloodline, itself?_ *Jace: because she will give the blood pact powers to us.. once she kills you, they will be ours..* _Valentine: she will save the Cup from the curse's Destruction.. but she won't save any of you_ *Jace: you are already doomed to Fall to the Void..* _Valentine: with the Cup she will bless with her love for me.. just as i blessed it with my love for her_ *Jace: blood magic isn't real.. only Hatred reigns supreme in this material world..* _Valentine: i happen to be very.. spiritual_ *Jace: only fabled spirits can use Blood Magic.. they do not exist, except in folklore..* _Valentine: unless.. Alchemy was used to.. awaken that Holy Spirit power.. and use Blood Magic to save the Cup_ *Jace: you would sacrifice your own daughter to the curse?* _Valentine: i summoned the Cup in her, when it was almost complete.. she has my Heart.. it will be just enough to save her life from that parabatai curse.. even if she gives me the Cup, and blessed it with her love for me.._ *Jace: too many improbable variables.. no one could make all of them come true..* _Valentine: you will find my Morgenstern ambition.. Relentless.._ *Jace: she will sacrifice you to the Void.. without the Cup* _Valentine: the Cup was made by the Power of Love.. Love is Sacrifice_ *Jace: she would sacrifice it to you, just as you sacrificed it for her Salvation..?* _Valentine:.. and prove to you she is my daughter.. even if you separated us, and destroyed the timeline with her parabatai curse_ *Jace: she has already forgotten you.. she will never remember you.. choose you* _Valentine: then you should be happy i made every choice, as you see it.. "wrong"_ *Jace: your mind control powers are nothing next to ours.. you don't even believe in Lying* _Valentine: i believe in the Truth.. that is in her heart.. and mine.. all else is but shadows dancing from the flames of your order burning itself alive.. by having Blind Faith that Clarissa will be Loveless.._ *Jace: why else choose a Hate parabatai ..unless she destined to Destroy you..?* _Valentine: because to Love is to Destroy ..unless you Create the Cup, with Sacred Alchemy.. and Spirit blood magic_ *Clarissa: (gives Valentine the Cup..)* _Valentine: (becomes Forsaken..)_

I would bet money Luke could have known where the cup was in order to reach for it through the stargate-thingie.

Freaking guy from August Rush 😆

Okay i guess Jamie and JRM look alike in the eyebrow scowl

I would rank all of the Mortal Instruments on books I would want to reread somewhere between Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey, but damn, gotta admit the visual adaptations are silly as heck
