Matt Donovan

After 6 years, 4 restarts, watching out of order I have finally finished everything today and it felt amazing. I had tried to watch the pilot for TVD but either I was preoccupied or it wasn’t catching my attention so I would give up on it then a few months later I would try again and the same thing would happen then during Legacies’ s1 midseason break I decided to catch up and I stuck with it to the end every week. During one of the summer hiatus between 1-2 or 2-3 I watched TO and weeped so the only one left was TVD and at this point I had watched up to where TO started and I had blacked out s3 and 4 and begrudgingly watched s5 then it ramped up in s6 with Bamon and Kai then the Heretics came and bored me prolonging my journey and the Sirens were good on paper but not execution and then they brought in the Devil and I was excited for him to be the end all be all but he was undercut by Katherine of all people. I love me some Katherine but it felt like they were happy to get Nina back so they cut the Kade stuff early just to use her one last time. Another option would’ve been to use Kelly Donovan as Katherine but they didn’t. So I have a few questions about what I’ve seen/heard from the fandom and my own; it may just be a case of me misremembering but let me know:

Why does every one hate Tyler Lockwood?

Why do people not like season 7-8?

Did they copy and paste Dorian’s backstory to Alyssa Chang?

So are Damon and Elena just walking around Mystic Falls ignoring everything that’s happening during Legacies?

Was Matt Donovan always this annoying/stern/“I hate everything related to the supernatural”?

Why didn’t Vicky fight off the compulsion to ring the bell?

Who was teaching baby Josie and baby Lizzie magic for them to even be using it at school?

Do you guys think that any of the main TVD characters should have a child to be brought into the series? If so, who and why?

I think that Matt and Rebekah were honestly a better couple than Penny and Matt and Marcel and Rebekah. I think they were happy when they were together (not that they weren’t when with Penny and Marcel). They seriously cared about each other and had insane chemistry. I think they should’ve been endgame! No hate against Marcel and Rebekah but I think they were toxic and Matt and Penny were a safe bet.

I have been watching this show since it aired, and I love trying to find the deeper meaning to plots, and the story line. We all know how much of an emotional roller coaster it is watching the season 3 finale. There is so much that happens but I’m particularly focused on what Elena was thinking when she decided to die in Matt’s truck. I have four theories for why:

1) It was her fate, she already had a second chance when Stefan saved her the first time and she didn’t feel deserving of a third chance. She thought if she was saved again, she would be cheating death and her fate again.

2) Couldn’t live with the lose of her friends (Damon, Stefan, Caroline, Tyler) who she thought were going to die because Klaus was killed; (Elena didn’t know yet that Klaus didn’t actually die). The flash back scenes were her thinking that she barely survived grieving her parents, and didn’t think she’d be strong enough to grieve 5 (including Matt if Stefan had saved her) of her closest friends.

3) Just wanted Matt to live, at least be able to save one of her friends. She was being selfless.

4) About having control over the situation, being able to make this choice / Stefan always respecting her choices. She didn’t have control when her parents died but she could control the situation this time around.

What does everyone else think? Does anyone have any other ideas about why Elena chose to die in Matt’s truck? I definitely think it was symbolic to have her die there, and it made it so much more emotionally.

So I’ve been thinking every since I rewatched Season 6 recently why did Elena get a ‘funeral’ but Jo didn’t? I understand a handful of the people like Matt, Bonnie and Tyler thought the wouldn’t see Elena again but still I fell like Jo deserved a funeral more than Elena as she was actually dead.

Does anyone else think this or is it just me?

So am I the only one that sort of shipped Matt and Nadia. I thought they were real cute together and wish they went more into it and explored them more. I also shipped him and Rebekah more than Rebekah and Marcel but that’s another story.

1-Katherine should have died in 5x11 because the writers butchered her character with the body switching plot and queen of hell

2-season 7 is better than season 4 and 5

3-alaric should have stayed dead

4-if the writers really wanted to end the show in full circle Damon would be a better option being the big bad instead of Katherine

5-nadia is the most pointless character next to Sarah Salvatore

6-matt isn't that bad

7-elena was a great character in season 1 till 3 after that she s awful

I know that most of you guys hate Elena or are like she is a crybaby or always need help but I feel like she tried to help a lot but they just didn’t let her like for example Damon acted like he couldn’t live without Elena so if it was up to him or Elena he would choose himself to die. Also when Matt and her were drowning in the lake she told Stefan to help Matt and not her so that’s how she died. Stefan was the only one who listened to her when she put Matt in front of herself. I feel like if it was Damon he would of just left Matt to die.Also can you guys comment what you think about it.

I hate how the main characters turn their backs on each other sometimes specially in season 7 and 8 . Even tho matts and alarics actions were justified. It got on my nerves anyways 🤦‍♀️

I want to like see a little reunion with like the cast of the vampire diaries like Damon, Elena, Caroline, Matt, Bonnie,Jeremy, Alaric and like all their new families

With, so many supernatural creatures in Mystic Falls how the did Matt stay human through out 8 seasons. But, all the above Matt Donovan was the best human ever and very relatable.
