And how lame was it for the big bad to just throw open a portal and run away?īut, the way all the events affected Jace was extremely significant. Still, the whole scene, which should have been filled with tension, just fell flat.Įven Valentine dropping the bomb about Jace and Clary being brother and sister should have been more shocking, but it wasn't. But what fun would that have been?Īnd while it was super ridiculous, I actually enjoyed when she told the demons to "knock it off" like she was talking to a bunch of puppies. After all, she found her mom, and she had the real Cup, so if she needed to, she could have opened the doors and had the demons take Valentine down.Īnd all would have been well in the Shadow World. It was pretty clever of her to make a glamour of it to give to him instead, but she could have just called him out. Of course, Clary was going to hand it over to him, because she knew the truth.
It was like he put a big, flashing sign over his head that screamed, "Hey, I'm really Valentine," because it made absolutely no sense that he would have a different effect on the demons than Clary did. It was a little disappointing when he straight out asked for the Cup. The way he got into Jace's head was especially cruel, and is exactly the kind of thing a big bad should be doing. Wayland's creepiness factor was a solid 10.
I actually liked Michael Wayland better as Valentine than Valentine as Valentine. So, if werewolves can smell vampires a mile away, it makes no sense he wouldn't have been able to sense something wasn't right about this guy.Įven putting all that aside, just the idea that a guy who was supposedly killed 10 years ago is found alive and well (and in pretty great condition, mind you) in a locker of a madman's lair should have been enough to raise the warning bells. I mean, couldn't he at least have smelled the demon blood flowing through Valentine, because he was injecting himself with demon blood, right? Luke should have recognized the off-ness of the whole situation, anyway, the minute Michael Wayland came into the Jade Wolf. It was pretty obvious that Clary was suspicious from the get go, but why didn't she share her suspicions earlier? I get that her lovey dovey feelings overwhelmed her common sense when she saw Jace was okay after the blood transfusion, but why wouldn't she have at least brought it up to Luke at some point?
