Well when I saw it, I just thought that is so Elena. That's only in S3! Can you imagine if someone put one together for the whole series! It would be like an hour long video! I'm sure there's one out there somewhere & if I find it I'm definitely posting it! Now that she's the big bad as Spike likes to call them she won't need to be rescued anymore.

just to warn you it is sort of pro de but it is good despite its flawed logic! Oh yeah, he's brought out the best in her. You mean the worst. She is a different person because she's a vampire & I get that, but she's nothing like the girl that either one of them fell in love with. Damon has basically tried to turn her into a substitute Katherine & change everything about her which he successful did. Stefan tried to help Elena deal with being a vampire while trying to help her hold onto herself & try to find a cure at the same time because he knew that being a vampire was the last thing she ever wanted which she repeatedly told him. I still don't see how Damon made her feel more alive. All I see is how he helped turn her into a cold blooded killer which only got magnified when she shut her humanity off. I still think that now that she's with Damon she is still going to wish he would act more like Stefan since that's what she's always done in the first place. She's always wanted to change him too. Great way to be in a relationship. Can't accept the person for who they really are for either one of them. Elena was right when she told Damon you like me better this way, he didn't deny it.

I didn't know where to post this so I decided to post it here because I think it's a really sad SE video but, most of all, it's a really sad Elena video. I'm really mad at her right now but it's undeniable how the sire bond affected her so, I can't help it, I'm also very sorry for her...

There’s going to be a special feature on TVD Season 4 DVD called “The Evolution of Elena Gilbert". There was an evolution!?!? I probably didn't watch those episodes

Okay so reading the discussions in the Elena thread, lets move away from which brother is better and such and lets instead talk about Elena. This video touches on Elena's struggles. She doesn't know who she is or how she is supposed to act. She looks at her examples; Stefan, Caroline, Damon, Katherine and how they've behaved as vampires. And she tries to either replicate their actions or do the opposite. She's trying to find her way. And instead she has everyone trying to force the cure onto her. Pretty much saying she shouldn't be like this because this isn't who she is.
Elena doesn't have to live up to anyone's expectations but hers. She doesn't have to be compassionate or loving, those are things she chose to be. She has a right to change and so do other characters. Maybe you wont like this change and that's alright not everyone has to agree. Like I said Elena has been trying to accept who shes become since 4x07,
"This is who I am now."
"Maybe this is the better version of me"
"You like me this way."
Has anyone ever thought, maybe she likes it this way as well? Maybe she likes being careless. Maybe she likes revenge. Maybe she likes not feeling grief all the time. Maybe she likes feeling weightless. Why shouldn't she given what she's been through. Is she not allowed to make mistakes? Is she not allowed grow?
And you know what? When Elena turns her humanity back on. She does grow. She says it was wrong of her to do it. That she knows its not better. And that is the beauty of character development. We see this internal battle within herself and not only internal but external as Elena tries to find her way through this transition.

I understand Elena was trying to find herself excluding the brothers out the picture but she was all over the place to me this season. It was such a 360 for me personally to watch. When she got her humanity back I felt some of her former true self came back as well but I believe she is still finding who she is even if she's comfortable with being a vampire now. I won't bash her bc this is a pro Elena thread but she is one character that has irked me throughout the show. We can always discusses that in debates territory. maybe you can enlighten me with some positive perspective hehe. I don't hate her but she gets on my nerves 75% of the time. Let's see if season five can change that =)

Anna you know I am no big Elena fan, but I can see what you are talking about. And honestly the fact that she turned her humanity back on so quickly is a huge feat, especially when we look at the other vampires, and what it took for them to turn it back on. Ruby I really don't think that she had even figured out who she was before she became a vampire, so I can see how it's a lot to deal with figuring it out when you throw all the vampire confusion into the mix. She irks me a more than 75% of the time, but she does also have moments when I actually kinda like her. I do hope that season 5 will change that, and maybe I can like her again.
