As a kid, her nose was always in a book or eyes glued to a screen, so it was inevitable she'd end up in two different worlds that are all about storytelling. Alisha has a Master of Arts in English from the University of Dallas and spent her years before jumping into entertainment journalism as an adjunct professor, a background that has come in handy in her editing roles. She's also the co-leader of California Freelance Writers United, a grassroots organization advocating for smarter legislation and forward-thinking labor law for freelance writers in California and across the country. Her work can be found, or expertise cited, at Forbes, CNN, CBS, Variety, CNBC, Marvel, Business Insider,, Film School Rejects, and more. Previously, she was the editor-at-large and editor-in-chief for Movie Pilot. There's certainly been no indication that Hope's so-far-unbeatable Tribrid powers would suddenly be laughably pointless. Professor Vardemus' simulation factored in Hope's Tribrid powers, but the Legacies episode apparently decided to pretend they don't exist for the sake of forcing stakes into the final confrontation.Īlisha Grauso is a features editor at Screen Rant, as well as the editorial lead for Atom Insider with Atom Tickets. The problem is that nothing that the other gods have shown, to this point, has indicated that. Two, and this is the clunkier reason, Legacies clearly wanted to show just how powerful Ken is, how much more powerful the gods are in general than any monster on Earth. That humanity-back-on Hope decided to go it alone, save for Lizzie, shows that she still has a lesson to learn about allowing her friends to help her. First, Professor Vardemus' fight simulation from a few episodes ago showed the students that they could only defeat Ken if they worked together. It's always been an issue, but Legacies season 4 has made it glaringly obvious how often the show conveniently forgets plot points for the sake of manufacturing drama. It also completely ignores established character history and personality for the sake of moving the plot along, such as Legacies' terribly executed villain twist for Ben in the previous episode. There's an obvious narrative reason for Hope to have lost so easily against Ken–two, actually. Her suddenly being completely useless against Ken, even with her Tribrid powers, illustrates a problem that has been plaguing Legacies since even before season 4. Before Ken, Malivore had been built up for over three seasons as the most powerful, indestructible, and terrifying creature to ever have walked the earth, and with her witch-werewolf-vampire Tribrid powers, Hope easily overpowered him. It was certain that Ken would always be a formidable threat–he's the king of gods in Legacies' vaguely defined mythology, after all–but Hope being so mismatched against him was unexpected and more than a little eyebrow-raising. Except it wasn't a fight: Hope didn't just lose she didn't even land a punch. There, Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Hope faced him down, with Lizzie working to siphon Ken's powers away from him while Tribrid Hope fought him. Legacies season 4, episode 16, "I Wouldn't Be Standing Here If It Weren't For You" finally saw Ken released from his confinement and come to the Salvatore School.

It makes sense to introduce a new threat now that Hope took care of Malivore, Legacies' Super Squad needs a new powerful foe. For the past handful of episodes, it's been clear they're being built up to be the final big bads of the season. But the latter half of Legacies season 4 has introduced an even greater threat in the form of the gods.
