I know writers understandably don’t want to make their main characters too unlikable so the audience can still relate to them and the fact that the liars in the books were more unlikeable works there because it’s in book form with its perks as you can read their thoughts and understand their motivations

but I to this day I’m still wondering if it would’ve been better if the liars were more unlikeable and cruel to deliver a motive for A to go above and beyond to torture them

Mona hated them because of how they bullied her back then which is a good motive but pales compared to the books where her motives also included revenge for jenna and getting burned herself when she witness the tree house incident they even watered-down this for the show

Apart from the jenna thing and the bullying the girls didn't do any terrible things most of the bad things they end up doing are also because A made them

Idk i just think it would have been better if they had done some bad deeds together for the sake of creating good second A motives (cece as A didn't even have a good motive to begin with) like if they had tried to manipulate and take down melissa and ian but in a more devious way than what happened in the show with worse consequences for them then Melissa would have some solid motivation to hate them all for her husbands death and her miscarriage

if they wanted cece to be A from the beginning they should have focused on delivering her good motives to hate all the liars

Or would this not work for the show because the characters had to be kept likable

glad all the contestants were having so much fun dan and singing together

and is that haddaway dancing with Simon? if so why didn’t they invite him as the interval act ? he has one of the best eurodance bangers ever. missed opportunity

i mean doppelgängers are supernatural creatures that are exact copies of amara and Silas physically speaking that spawn every hundred years or so to die on their behalf

physically they look exactly like their original versions but how do their genetics work ?

like are their looks fully determined by magic so their genetics are overridden by magic which determines their looks as in the doppelgänger actually has the genes for let’s say green eyes and red hair but magic makes them look physically different so if they have kids their actual genes get passed on in this example the genes for green eyes and red hair (this way assuming genotype and phenotype are the same with everyone but the doppelgängers Stefans and elenas actual dna would be different from what they look like stefan actual dna version would be closer looks wise to Damon and the delena kids would look more like Damon than Elena) (way A magic just changes their looks not dna)

or does the magic alter their dna meaning whenever nature decides a doppelgänger has to be born that kids dna will be magically altered to produce a copy of amara or Silas so their dna is magically changed to be the same as amaras and Silas‘ and they will pass on half of it to their offspring (this way doppelgängers wouldn’t even be their parents biological kids, Stefan and damon wouldn’t be brothers genetically and the delena kids would most likely be looking more like Elena since she has more dominant traits) (Way B magic alters their dna)

judging by the characters look: Katherine and nadia did look similar to each other but Elena and her biological parents not so much especially when it comes to their eye Color (I know it’s possible for two blue eyed people to have a brown eyed kid but it’s rather rare) Stefan and Damon dont look similar at all damon looks similar to their mother and stefan doesnt take after his dad at all

im not sure if the show ever explained this if so let me know and they didn’t which way do you think this works ?

Edit: added a and b to make things Clearer
