Ethan Machado

Now that show is over, I feel I can reveal what never got to happen but I wanted to see happen-

Clarke becomes a vampire, i think they were building towards it which would have been better than what he is now.

Again mg and kalebs vamp backstories should have been explored, idk why the writers were so vague with kalebs having put it off 3 times too many cause now we wont know

The rest of gods gotten out could have been interesting but they would have had to play it out over the entire season not a short time like ken, not sure how they would have been this huge mega threat considering their most powerful leader got taken out.

Mg as a ripper and ethan trying to get revenge on josie for his arm breaking, they could have made a villainous duo

I think there was just a few magical abilities left I wanted to see as well

Origin of the merge

Anything you guys wanted to happen but didnt?

Does anyone have any speculation as to why Ethan is mysteriously dying all of a sudden? Personally, I think it might have to do with his powers coming from Malivore or Cleo changing the future

Any theories guys about this week's upcoming episode? Will Hope kill Vardemus? Did MG and Ethan fight? What's the deal with this Ben character?

Are there any characters you guys still would like to get into a tussle?

For me a few of them would be-

Hope vs hybrid lizzie

Hope vs aurora

They might be setting up for sphinx vs ferryman which heck yes bring that on

I want to see ethan in another fight possibly against mg cause I think it will be revealed ethan has a hidden supernatural ability that dont come out unless times of danger like landon with his fire wings

Id like to see caroline and kol return to fight some powerful enemy at some point

Cause vardemus is coming back Id like to see him in a fight too and not just talk

I havent really seen anyone yet speculate on this topic but does anyone want to speculate what supernatural being ethan is, all we can gather is its not vamp, wolf or witch cause it was within malivore. I suppose it could be a qareen cause I dont recall another invisible monster but what do you all think, is it something we've seen or not seen?

Malivore infected Clarke and after all he didn't keep Dybbuk's powers, and Ethan and Kaleb once infected still have those abilities? Has anyone else noticed that this could be the malivore mud inside them? and What if by any chance that mud is removed and more portals are opened? I think Malivore is really gone but the monsters aren't.

So now that hope is a tribrid without empathy for others and if this season is promised to be darker who should she kill or at least crippled beyond magic being able to help, who should it be and why?

The options are-

Alaric

The gemini

Jed

Ethan

Wade

Mg

Kaleb

Clarke

Rebekah

Cleo(if it happens it wont be till later cause she is a series regular this season and I doubt it would just be 4 episodes)

Dorian

I think that is everyone on the active roster im not putting damon, elena, etc.

I don’t mean to be rude or like say whoever did it did a bad job but i noticed a small typo in his backstory after it talks about Lizzie siphoning from MG. probably just me but i wanted to put it out there in case it is.

MG and Ethan are amazing as friends and I really do enjoy their friends. However, they have HELLA chemistry. I know a lot of it has to do with how well their actors interact but man, there's SO much potential there to turn this into a real romantic ship. They seem to have this connection where they genuinely get each other and I haven't seen them have that with any other character; Lizzie included. I just hope this gets explored in season 4 or at some point later down the line. It would also be so important to finally have another M/M couple in the TVD verse, especially one that doesn't end in tragedy(aka Josh & Aiden).

What do you guys think? Please no hate. I know they're not real thing but its just wishful thinking, just like with those who ship Hizzie.

Does anyone still think the writers have a big plan for his character, an actual reason for making him a series regular cause now that his time with mg has come to an end, he is just there to be there, what they might be saving up for, playing devils advocate is that mg will die and ethans memories will flood back to him and lead to him finding out about josie breaking his arm and costing him the scholarship thing and eventually he might become a vampire himself. Thats playing it fair otherwise he's a waste of space to me and the money going to the actor could go somewhere better spent.

After seeing Landon break Hope's heart in the latest episode, I think she might be better off ending things with Landon for good and getting a new love interest like Ethan. Do you agree or do you feel that Hope and Landon are endgame and are just going through a rough time? Though to be honest, things have been rough between them since Legacies first started airing.

Do you think there is a chance that Ethan will appear as LGBT or Landon, at least, if he is alive? I don't know, but it would be cool for an LGBT man on the show with another man, because we always have this with a straight couple. It's kind of disappointing that they never develop boys' sexuality (or always put them straight).

Honestly if you were in charge of legacies who would have chosen as the 3 new main faces over these 3 recent additions? Cause they were a mistake to put on that level, they arent depthful enough characters to explore, I mean its already a problem with the current cast but these are almost impossible to explore into depth on a weekly basis.

I mean me personally I dont know if I would have added anyone, not clarke, sebastian, chad, jade or even necromancer which are all characters I enjoy but not enough to make a main face. I mean malivore I think will be added in but still played by aria. But apart from that, no one really.

But im curious to hear your opinions, I only ask you give me a compelling reason if you can think of why so and so character should be a main face, not just say the name and leave it at that. And you cant add in people who said no to returning-joseph, nina, ian, paul and kat, that isnt me being mean, im just giving the fact of the matter.

I just feel like asking this cause if everything goes the way it should and no more covid setbacks we will be getting legacies in 2 months which is like the equivalent I think to 8 weeks.

But do you all think this wait and more importantly the secrecy, the pandoras box that if anything about legacies gets out the sky will fall spoilers and the show is ruined will be worth it?

Cause while we've been bit with teases, we dont know too much about season 3 and im not going to give too much of my personal feelings to it but I will say I've been with this franchise for 10 years now, ive seen all 3 shows its given out, I know how this formula works of lack of spoilers and the payoff and usually its mostly a letdown and very few times a pay off. And let me make something clear cause there is this misconception on spoilers. A spoiler doesnt have to be a full on detailed plot point, it is not like hope and landon are going to die and never come back. It can just be someone will die, a new couple will emerge, clues basically, like if im wrong for that, then I guess all film and tv are wrong for giving out trailers cause that is more or less what it is, clues, a tease to hold the fans until the final product comes out.

And this is in an age of the internet nonetheless and im still having trouble finding things. I mean I do truly feel you should give out a bit more jp and your crew cause legacies is not big hit like where you can get away with the lack of spoilers cause most people love and will tune in, no legacies is a cult show at best and most likely will always be that so they should try to appease as much as possible. And it dont help they practically gave away ethan and jed will be safe cause that is generally what series regulars mean, they will be on the show for a while so no need to get invested in their fates.

But all the spoilers ive taken from this upcoming season and this can be used as a reference:

hope will have a huge loss that allows her to fight fate-im guessing landon or alaric, idk what fight fate means other than maybe she cant take the loss and kills herself and thus finally becomes a tribrid(important note but matt implies he is no longer going to be on the show, like he will return obviously but his time maybe up as alaric)

the last ten min of the next episode are supposed to be very sad, thus giving more validity to someone is going to die, or maybe its landons funeral

the musical is episode 3 of season 3

malivore is getting out soon and will do alot of damage to where jed has to become alpha

alyssa is supposed to get revenge on josie when the show returns even though this makes zero sense cause that was dark josie, not real josie that killed her

hope will have a bigger story-jps words

alaric will have a date-jps words

they will bring on the true threat the sphinx told about cause i guess they didnt show them yet

chad will be shown post necromancer life

kaylee sent out some emojis as clues as well as hinting of a new interest-https://i.redd.it/34gqq3xo1eq51.jpg

the characters of cleo, gunter, pinky and deacon are still coming in i guess?

the undoing of the merge is presumably a hot topic

necromancer still has plans im assuming for sphinx and pothos

the prophecy isnt finished yet

Mgs ripper side is still an issue

i cant find the source but triad is returning

and not a spoiler exactly but we still dont know what happened to jade, wendy, vardemus, seylah(who may have died in malivore, may have not) and malivores other golem kids

so while all of this is better than nothing, im teetering on the edge of excitement but what about you guys?

I feel this is the only potential within him right now, I think it was mentioned he is from the fell family which i dont care to see another fell in mystic falls whose job is to hunt vampires, been there done that. Id like ethan to become supernatural which is why i think he is a regular cause he will be inserted into salvatore school cause why would they show scenes of his life at mystic falls high, makes no sense. Now what do you want it to be? The obvious choices are vampire which nah, he could be a untriggered werewolf or witch which again for me nah

I dont have an exact creature on the mind right now, maybe something in the realm of a serpent but id like to see something i havent seen in a supernatural story in a long time and that is the trope of you get bit by the creature you become the creature, id like to see that again, ethan gets bit by a monster and he becomes it.

For the love of god though dont make him a fairy so wade can have a fairy friend, ill take a witch vampire or wolf for ethan before he does that. Maybe they will go with some twist and make him a phoenix if malivore cant get landon he uses ethan as plan b but i hope not.

I hope they know what they did with this move, cause if its just going to be a waste of time like most of the regulars on this show, im not going to rage rant, im trying to stop that cause it accomplishes nothing but i can see myself skipping scenes and dvring the show and yes it counts, every viewer counts cause legacies doesnt get huge ratings even for a cw show so they need to know what they are doing with this. Again I can see potential in ethan, jed not so much im worried what they are doing with jed.

sidenote but this proves btw to afford 10 regulars this show isnt in as much financial trouble as they claim to be, even if 1 is on their way out, its still 9 regulars

1) Kitsune and Nogitsune. I would quite like a Kitsune to come to the school but bringing with it a Nogitsune.

2) Josie or Lizzie becoming a hybrid.

3) Full Tribrid Hope

4) New Headmaster. i.e Caroline or some other person we know

5) Maya and Ethan as werewolves (as they are rumoured to be)

6)The students going back to the dawn of Witches. via spell/flashbacks

7) An origin on Kaleb and MG

8) Penelope Parks Return. I quite liked Penelope and I know a lot of others do as well so her return would be great.

9) Lizzie and MG

I know I’ve already posted about this but I’ve had more thought and wishes towards Season 3.

LMK your speculations on Season 3 and what you want or if you agree with mine.
