Shadow and Bone's Jesper Fahey is so much more than the charismatic sharpshooter in the Crows. He's all heart.

Portrayed by: Kit Young Book | Show: Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, and Netflix’s Shadow and Bone

“But when it came down to it, Jesper’s life had been full of blessings. His father. His mother. Inej. Nina. Matthias leading them across the muddy canal. Kaz—even Kaz, with all his cruelties and failings, had given him a home and a family in the Dregs when Ketterdam might have swallowed him whole. And Wylan. Wylan, who had understood before Jesper ever had that the power inside him might be a blessing too” (Bardugo 311).

The common denominator between each of the six crows amid their differing personalities is the desire to belong somewhere. To be a part of something bigger than they are. Each of them is flawed in ways they can’t accurately confront, but they give themselves to what matters most—protecting their friends. Jesper Fahey is many things: a sharpshooter, a Grisha, a gambler, but most importantly, he’s loyal. He’s devoted, and he’s good, and he’s brave enough to be himself.

Why Jesper and Inej's Deleted Scene in 'Shadow and Bone' Season 2 is Important to the Story

marvelousgeeksmedia.com|Gissane Sophia

Netflix’s deleted scene between Jesper Fahey and Inej Ghafa in Shadow and Bone’s Season 2 finale, “No Funerals,” is the kind of moment that expertly and beautifully weaves the story together. It’s the type of scene the show shouldn’t have cut as it answers the question some fans were apprehensively asking upon finishing the season. At the same time, it’s a sweet parting slash love letter to the found family heart of the Crows.

The screenplay here is astounding as it gives viewers the necessary information while simultaneously allowing actors to add layers and convictions to the spoken word. Similarly, setting the moment in a secluded open area enunciates the vulnerability both characters are showcasing. Like the open air, Jesper and Inej are fully transparent with one another, giving Kit Young and Amita Suman some breathtaking junctures to exhibit how profoundly the characters care for one another.

Netflix's 'The School For Good And Evil' Review

marvelousgeeksmedia.com|Gissane Sophia

If ABC’s Once Upon A Time and Harry Potter had a weird baby somewhere in the middle, it’d be Netflix’s The School For Good and Evil. Based on the children’s book series by Soman Chainani, the film follows the first in what will hopefully be a seven-part installment. While I haven’t read the books and can’t speak on whether the film does an accurate job of adapting them, I can say that for the spooky season, it’s solid entertainment to add to one’s watchlist.

Starring Kerry Washington, Charlize Theron, Michelle Yeoh, Laurence Fishburne, Kit Young, Sophia Anne Caruso, Sofia Wylie, Jamie Flatters, Cate Blanchett (off-screen), and more, the film’s premise is relatively simple. There’s a school for good and evil, but where there was once balance, it’s now full of lies and chaos. Sophie (Caruso) and Aggie (Wylie) are sent to the school but placed on opposing sides. In order to get Sophie back into the good side, The Evers, they must find her a true love’s kiss. When the original plan doesn’t work, Sophie gives in to Rafal’s (Young) promises and strives toward doing whatever is necessary to gain what she wants, temporarily losing herself in the process.

While the pacing is clunky at times, the film’s heart lies in the friendship forged in childhood, setting its endgame on a tale that illuminates the imperfections of humanity.

Scene Breakdown: The Emotional Support Goat Reveals the Sharpshooter’s Complexities in Shadow and Bone’s “The Making at the Heart of the World”

marvelousgeeksmedia.com

We all adore Milo the Goat. That’s a fact, but what we need to talk about when breaking down this scene in Shadow and Bone’s “The Making at the Heart of the World” is the way in which this grounds Jesper Fahey so brilliantly.

Jesper is such a fascinating character because while show only viewers know very little about him, Kit Young does an incredible job of layering him through smaller moments, which bring out the details that at the end of the day, he’s just a human being trying to survive. Jesper might be a risk taker and someone who gets an adrenaline rush from gambling, but that’s so often deflating from the fact that there are fears in him that touch on uncertainties bigger than he can even grasp.

He isn’t just the suave sharpshooter who looks good doing literally anything, he’s a human being who’s also going to scream and have moments of genuine fear, which makes him more realistic in a fantasy world where he could’ve easily just been one dimensional. Instead, Jesper is entirely multifaceted, so incredibly nuanced in how he reveals that when something seems terrifying, he is going to show it. It is a part of him, and it is a part of him that makes him that much more endearing because it allows people to see that even those who are great at their craft have moments of perilous anxiety.
