Louis wants Claudia out of guilt, for the damage he caused to his own community with his reckless act, desperate for redemption he makes a selfish decision and Lestat accepts because he sees an opportunity to baby trap him, nothing toxic to see here lol
Claudia trivia
Book: age 5
Movie: age 11 or 12
TV series: 14
I’m confused. She literally made references in this episode to her age being 18, and then 19. Was she just lying or what?
I think not. Because I KNOW they would not actually portray a 14 YEAR OLD having sex. That’s disgusting and probably illegal.
@@DoubleBlack2.0well... she doesnt age. shes 14 but she wouldve been 18/19 if she didnt turn
@@DoubleBlack2.0 No matter her age she'll always keep her 14 year old body. When she's older in years she'll still always appear as a child.
@@DoubleBlack2.0 Well, that's the part of the drama of the show. Claudia is physically 14, mentally 19, played by a 19 year old actor. Yes, it is very controversial. Which leads to discussions like these. In the books she was five and in the movies she was 10 (played by 11 year old Kirsten). Think about it like any other teen drama or CW TV series where the teenagers are known to be sexually active, and they also aren't showing any explicit material. Keep in mind that Charles said, "you can't be older than me" when Claudia said, "I'm 19." So therefore his specific age was not directly divulged. Meaning her can be any age under 19. Likely still a teenager though. It's wonderful to have these discords amongst ourselves. Imagine how Claudia must be feeling, knowing that she will mentally age (19, 25, 60, 65, 358. ..) with the desires of wanting to experience adult things, but being stuck with people seeing her as a child. Imagine having to debate being a mentally mature being but only acceptable options being adolescents, but in reality you are older than those boys parents. Is that not also weird 😂?!
@@DoubleBlack2.0She was turned into a vampire at 14. When she says she's 18, 19, etc., it's because that's the age she would've been if she hadn't been turned, but her body is eternally stuck at 14.
Hearing you say this show couldn't get any darker is both funny and sad knowing what comes next.😅
Lestat was actually warned not to make a child or a person who hasn't lived much of a life by someone very ancient and wise, he even tries to tell Louis in French in the background in that scene that she is "too young" but as usual, Lestat is so in love with Louis that he can't say no to anything he asks of him, and he's also so afraid that Louis will leave him if he doesn't, and he will have to face the loneliness again, that he fears above all else. It goes against the vampire laws in this universe too to make a child that young, Lestat KNOWS that it's a bad idea, and it's going to affect them down the line because they will never be able to introduce Claudia to other vampires without putting her in danger. She is also going to age mentally but stay a kid forever while having the appetite of a teenager, which would fuck anyone up, psychologically. Basically, him turning Claudia worked for a short while but is going to backfire horrendously in so many ways down the line. That being said, it's clear in the books that Lestat loves her. He is proud of her; she is the fledgling Louis could never be, as vicious as Lestat himself, and he calls her "The evil of my evil" and "Infant Death" in a loving way. He even says Claudia "broke his heart." Keep the reactions coming :) Ps. Major trigger warning for the next ep, by the way. Prepare yourselves. You're in for a rough ride.
I feel enough people don't give Grace(the sister) the benefit of the doubt she isn't mad/nasty toward him because he's gay
from her pov she essentially lost both her brothers within the same time frame and one of them is "alive" but chooses to live a life away from her they were very close and then he just disappears with Lestat and then turns up with a daughter he's living a whole life she doesn't get to be a part of and he's missing out on the things in hers because he can't be there
she isn't like the mother but I'm sure the mothers nasty opinions that she has about Louis had seeped through a little but she loves her brother and is just mad that he essentially left her behind
And he almost drained her baby & left him on the floor.
I agree with you on Grace's motivations, but it's her words that will mark Louis' life. Like Mama Du Lac accusing Louis of causing Paul's death, Grace targeting her brother's gayness in such an ugly, attacking fashion is what triggers the final collapse of his hope to connect with humanity.
@megdelaney3677 this is so late but I thought he left the baby on the floor so he wouldn't fall off the couch
Interesting point that may return later - the bookshelf is up in the air, but so far we have been given no indication in the past or present that Louis can fly
What we consider bad as humans is good to a vampire. Lestat was teaching Claudia to be a “good” vampire. A killer.🤷🏽♀️
I came here to say this. We can't hold them to human standards because they're no longer human
Yeah, like he taught her sex education by confusing lust & murder in her brain. Such a good teacher, our Lestat.
I love Claudia as a character study, imagine being the age that you are now but being stuck going through puberty, still having the existential crisis of being a teenager but being made to live forever, not to mention being a young black woman in those days. I don't think I could ever tolerate it.
Lestat is a metal shard & Louis is a magnet; can't pass without touching him @ 8:35
OH DEAR..... we need to send them good vibes for whats happening next. ya'll aint ready
"Couples have ups and downs. I think they've had more downs..." That is an understatement. In the movie from the 90's, Claudia is like 11 or 12. In the book, she's thought to be around 6-8 when turned! I won't say the book/movie spoiler things that make Claudia's story EVEN WORSE. Needless to say, it is so fucked up. I think the show does a really good job of showing how a 14-year-old would react to that trauma. Little to no impulse control, lots of energy, budding sexuality, initially thinking it's great but eventually coming to terms with how bad it it, propensity to self-harm as a result, etc. This show is often a hard watch. I'm wracking my brain to think of genuinely happy moments that aren't tainted later on, and I can't think of any.
"floating bookshelf. I wonder how he gets the books down?" Interesting question! Keep that question in mind after the season finale.
i loveeee this show because of how well made it is, but it's also so toxic annoying and dark you can't help but hate every character 😂😂 i love recommending it to others and when they come at me complaining about how fucked up it is i'm like EXACTLYYYY LMAO
Grace was approving of Louis's (rather obvious) relationship with Lestat up until Louis' left her baby on the floor (according to Louis). The next time after that was the door. That she has ceased to be approving of Louis and Lestat is understandable.
Lestat is teaching Claudia the way he tried to teach Louis, but Claudia is more amenable to it.
i'm surprised, i really thought josh would go harsh on the babygirl lol i'm so happy you liked her and felt for her ❤ and yes, the writing on this show goes crazy with those parallels between queerness and vampirism, how queer ppl were seen, like, that scene with his sister was nuts same as 'the talk' with claudia turning into murder ☠️
Turning a child is actually forbidden by the vampire community. Lestat is a rebel among vampires though. He often disregards vampire rules and norms. I won't get into detail to avoid spoilers, but it's also why Lestat is more powerful than most vampires his age.
It's hilarious you think the end of episode 4 was dark. Just you wait. Bahahahah
While this show is amazing and all, please don’t sleep on Good Omens! Y’all would absolutely love it!
😍Good Omens!!!
In Anne Rice's world, Vampires are stuck at the same emotional maturity as when they were turned. So someone who was turned at 35+ will be more mature and methodical than someone who was turned at 25 or 15. Not turning kids is a relative standard in most vampire media. When they are shown, the obvious pitfalls of their decreased emotional maturity are always shown in their actions. Funnily enough, the original Claudia (in the book) was actually 5 years old when she was turned. So, the portrayal in the movie with Cruise/Pitt/Dunst is more accurate than the tv show. But I'm not using that difference to disparate this remake. I think its amazing and cant wait for the second season.
Meh. Kirsten Dunst played Claudia at 11, so closer to 14 year old TV Claudia than book Claudia. Bailey was 18 when production started; Louisiana child labor laws prohibit anyone younger keeping to the grueling night-work schedule this project demanded.
@@tdali8347 I wasnt discussing the ACTOR's ages but the character's ages.
@@nininoona And I was explaining why the character had to be aged up to find an actress who comported with state law in order to film there. The fact of the story is that at 40 pounds, 70 pounds, and 90 pounds, every Claudia has been too frail to protect herself alone in the vampire world. We agree Kirsten and Bailey aren't 5. Can we also agree that they're both fantastic Claudias?
Lestat is teaching her how to be what she is, a vampire lol He’s teaching her how to hunt and be smart 😂 like vampires kill people and drink blood, therefore inherently not exactly good really, it’s their nature 🤷🏽♀️ 😂 She’s good at it & enjoys it, quite unlike Louis who hasn’t accepted his vampirism which is what Lestat wanted.
Best vampire turning age would be 30.
What I loved about Claudia is how we not only get to experience her point of view in the interview, but her emotional journey as a vampire trapped in the body of a teenager. To me she is an augmentation of Bella, Rosalee, Jane, and Victoria from Twilight. 🧛🏻♂️🧛🏾🧛🏾♀️❤️💔🩸🖤
spoiler:
i get excited by devil minions interactions now that i rewatch hehe
YALL ARE GONNA LOVE CLAUDIA
Lmao the cut to IWTV 1994 Claudia was hilarious 😭😭😭
I think the sister was more annoyed with him choosing Lestat over his family. Considering how much she loved him, I don’t think she would turn her back on him for being gay. His sexuality and vampiric life draw so many parallels that it’s hard to know what they are acting or respond to
LIVING FOR THESE UGH THIS SHOWWWWWWW 💓💓
You two are hilarious! I'm having such a good time watching your reaction videos.
I felt like lestat was doing revenge parenting too, cuz he for EVEN one moment DID NOT CARE ABOUT CLAUDIA, SHE IS NOTHING TO HIM (as you will find out in further episodes,,, lestat was teaching her that not cause he believes it, but cuz he knew louis doesnt agree
Bro I can't wait for u all to see episode 6. .. that's when the big fight happen I think 🥲😂
Fight happen at the end of ep 5 ;)
@@KiannaKitter ahh thanks.
Kinda spoiler
“Why has no one said “don’t turn a child”
Marius, who has explicitly told Lestat to not turn a child: :/
I’ve been reading the books and I’m in LOVE with Lestat no matter how many red flags he has he’s my FAVOURITE
Yessss finallyyy. I was waiting for this one lads
The more red flags the better 😊
Claudia was quite, quite mad.
I think Lestat knew it was a bad idea but he wanted Louis to stay.
My thoughts are with you as you approach episode 5....
I felt my most fit, sexy and together at 40. That's the age I'd choose.
I guess you two haven't read the Anne Rice books?
This may or may not have been mentioned forgive me for not scrolling through all the comments....I hope that the path was offered reading the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles first two books Interview respectively and The follow up The Vampire Lestast....Also the movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt..... Ĺove you both.... Always making me laugh out loud literally... Much love from the United States The good old state of Ohio...Cheerio ❤
This is so different from the books.
What age would i pick to be a vampire?...40 😅
I love watching you guys analyzing /critiquing movies & series. 🫶🏼 You Guys Are The Best ❤️🙃😉🥰
Also guys quick TW for next episode!!! I saw it mentioned at the end of a comment but im not sure if its still on the actual ep on AMC 🥲
