Alec played by Matthew Daddario in the show, is more accurate in terms of looks, while his personality is portrayed accurately in both adaptations. Other main characters such as Alec and Izzy are better suited in the show.

Clary, played by Lilly Collins, and Jace, played by Jamie Campbell, in the movie are a better fit for the characters in terms of looks and personality than Katherine McNamara and Dominic Sherwood in the show. The main characters of the franchise, Clary and Jace, are better cast in the movie compared to show in physical descriptions and attributions. While there are amazing actors in both, some seem to be a better fit for the characters than others. To start on each difference, let’s discuss the casting of both show and movie. Personally, while I know that the movie is more accurate I prefer the show as I think it has a better casting and a greater quality. The Mortal Instruments movie is seemingly more accurate to the books than the show, which itself has more than enough inaccuracies. Often media representations of books leave out or add in different events because of time constraints or to make it more interesting to its audience, causing many inaccuracies between the two. show, Shadowhunters, came out in 2016 with three seasons. The movie, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, came out in 2013 after the first book, while the T.V. The Mortal Instruments is a series of books written by Cassandra Clare in 2013, that makes up another universe of books called, The Shadowhunter Chronicles. It is no different from the Mortal Instruments series.


In a great deal of the transformation, information from the books may be lost in its on-screen appearance, causing the movies or T.V. A lot of the time, popular books are often transformed into movies and Television shows for others to enjoy.
