Legacies Seasons 3: Why Hope Has To Die In Season 3 Finale?

Legacies Seasons 3 In order to beat Malivore and to gain the vampire element of her Tribrid powers for the show’s heroine, Hope Mikaelson has to die. It will lead to the full potential of her powers. The Series came in late 2018, it’s a spinoff of The Originals, and this is again a spinoff of 00’s CW hit The Vampire Diaries.

Like its predecessors, Legacy is a blend of supernatural horror and teen drama to create a paranormal series. The main alteration in Legacies then The Vampire Diaries and The Originals is that it has a camp sense of humor which keeps the series light-hearted. Unlike its predecessors which provide a lot of detailing into their supporting casts, legacies focus basically on two characters that are students of Salvatore School, Landon Kirby, and Hope Mikaleson.

These both characters’ on & off love story has led the heroine to save her love countless times which was an earlier refreshing inversion of what we can call inversion of damsel in distress trope. But she has unable to save her part from death and doom, and her love interest has (temporarily) died twice in the series until now.

This has become a little too predictable, which is a reason Hope should die in the season’s finale. Also, it’s been a while since the series is giving hints that in order to defeat Malivore, Hope has to become a Tribrid (a hybrid witch, werewolf, and vampire).

However, to achieve these powers she must accept her destiny of becoming a Tribrid over anything else – that is she must die. To access Tribrid and portion of vampire power she has to die, which is why she doesn’t want to do it. However, while her avoidance of transformation is fair, but the plot is gradually moving towards it.

While this series may not be that popular as its predecessors but adding such tragic events adds to the imitation of them. Also, Hope learning and trying to deal with being a Tribrid (and activating her vampire side) can become a great arc for the next storyline of The Legacies Season 4.

The series until now is unable to recreate the enthusiasm like its predecessors, but killing off Hope and bringing her back as Tribrid could make her a stronger, more powerful protagonist and reignite the interest in the series. With Hope learning the powers for Tribrid and handling the responsibilities with it, Legacies Season 4 could land up a darker, more exciting for the fans.
