Synopsis
In the year 2022, the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac lives in Dubai and seeks to tell the story of his life or afterlife to renowned journalist Daniel Molloy. Beginning in early 20th-century New Orleans, Louis' story follows his relationship with the vampire Lestat du Lioncourt and their formed family, including teen fledgling Claudia. Together, the vampire family endures immortality in New Orleans and beyond. As the interview continues in Dubai, Molloy discovers the truths beneath Louis' story.

Thanks for all the love from episode 1. PLEASE beware of SPOILERS and hinting comments. Let me grow with the story. Let the characters change my mind and let my opinions envolve with the show. Give me the benefit of the doubt that I can see these nuances when they arrive. Essentially, let the tale seduce me! It will make for a better reaction for you guys. Thank you. I hope you enjoy🙏🏾
@@FrankFreezy_ First time watching your reactions and I totally love it. I'm enjoying the reactions. Please keep it up, Thank you 🤗
@@missririblaQ will do. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching
I'll tell you book stuff that isn't a spoiler. Don't worry ❤
Comment discipline, people!
@@FrankFreezy_ Frank you are a great writer. You have a way with words.
Louis, Lestat, and Daniel ❎️
Leon, Loucat, and David ✅️
I came to the comment section for this 😂
The only problem is that, if they follow the books, there will eventually be an actual David too.😅😂🫣👀😊🤭🤭😁😆💖
He says he has the captions on 😩
@@ShelbyBaby27 Just because captions are on doesn't guarantee the names are spelled correctly in the captions or that his eyes are actually looking at them rather than just watching the show! You can't help, sometimes, what the human brain does or doesn't always notice or focus on most in-any-moment.💖😊
Saying "He should be studied" about Lestat is so f-ing funny, so true.
Ah Leon, loucat, and David, an iconic trio.
JK, I’m terrible with names too, it just made me chuckle. Enjoyed seeing your reactions.
😂😂 watching this again was too funny. I missed every single name at every turn
@@FrankFreezy_ 😁😁
Lestat saw in Louis someone who would detach from humanity and accept vampirism easily, because that same humanity rejects him, but Louis' feelings are much more complex and Lestat, being a predator for centuries, is unable to assimilate this issue anymore. , even more so with a Louis who is considered the most human vampire of all. So the point of contention between them is that they both have different set minds and this causes chaos in the relationship, which by nature is already turbulent.
That's a very good angle that I haven't even considered before. lestat thinking Louis would easily embrace vampires and because of how much the humans around him reject him. Thanks
Not to mention Lestat no longer have telepathy to help him see and communicate with Louis, especially because Louis is so repressed still.
This is a great point. All that mind reading he did to Louis before he turned him and still misjudged him. But then again Louis' face card is solid gold 😂❤, quite distracting.
One thing I noticed for the first time here is that in his present day recounting, Louis calls it an "apprenticeship"-- no use of the word "fledgling."
Good catch. He always hated that word
I just noticed that too. I didn't like the comment, though, because I never mess up 69 likes.
@@DaysieRose a commenter after my own heart
I agree about Daniel pushing back at Louis! I love his attitude through the whole interview
He is so important to the story and I appreciate him so much
@@FrankFreezy_ Yes💚
The amount of times I referred to Lestat as luCAT is truly embarrassing😭😭🤣🤣
@@FrankFreezy_ hahaha it's kinda cute actually 🤣 i enjoy your reaction, thank you!
@@arthitrojnapat1322haha I get better at their name I promise. Thank you
Well, their couple name is Loustat, so there's that.
The part that threw me is when you called Louis "Leon."
And Daniel David!@@HuntingViolets
what I always found interesting about the death of tenor is how louis presents the story as him being completely against killing like that, and I believe that the humiliation and lestat's way of "playing with his food" repulses him, BUT at the same time he has no issue watching the man's memories of his life with fascination while he dies slowly in front of him. he doesn't leave the room, he stays and he looks into his mind. he emphasizes to daniel that he hasn't killed since the year 2000 and puts on a whole little dinner show to display his great restraint (with drinking from damek etc), but he still has that monstrous fascination for the last moments of this dying man. his self image and his words don't always match up with his actions. and that's not a critique of the character or the writing, I think that makes him really interesting!
Not a spoiler but a fun fact... Rashid is playing minecraft when he's using the ipad in the background of this interview.
That is so cool
While I love Lestat, I think you're right and we should call a thing a thing. He's toxic af. He's just a testament to the writing of both Anne Rice and the showrunners that we have these really complex characters to analyze, love, loathe, etc.
Very true. And I do appreciate that these characters are so complex. Definitely gives you a lot to chew on. No pun intended
@@FrankFreezy_ Toxic as hell, abusive, but there are moments where you might expect things to simply be a line used to control Louis, another manipulation, when Lestat is actually being honest and vulnerable.
@@FrankFreezy_Rice wrote all her characters this way, multi layered. She wanted you to feel a range of emotions for them. Your friend taco fox made a comment about them being monsters and we as viewers forget their morality is different than ours.
I’m sorry u calling them David Leon and Lucat took me the f out 😂😂 highlight of the video.
Trust me, rewatching this s*** after a week.. it took me the f*** out too🤣🤣
lestat treats louis less like his pet and more like his wife imo. i made you for pleasure and for companionship how dare you be unhappy, how dare you not be what i want you to be, etc. it’s very edwardian marriage
also what i want to point out is, crucially, grace never visits louis! in all these years! i remember watching for the first time and how it saddened me to see their relationship turn sour bc of, i assumed, louis’s vampiric nature. but. it’s been just a few years, not enough for his sister and mother to catch on to the fact he’s not aging. it’s not about him being “of the devil”. it’s just that he’s living with a man. the thing is, it was always going to come down to this, vampire or not: either louis continues living in the closet for the rest of his life, miserable but accepted by his family, or he settles down with a man and that drives his family away from him. and what does your family’s love and acceptance truly mean if they can’t love and accept all of you, not only the parts they like or project onto you?
Incredible call on the Edwardian marriage. ESPECIALLY an Edwardian marriage where the woman's family was not in the same strata of class. "You are the daughter of a lawyer. You should feel LUCKY to be on the arm of a son of the aristocracy. Your father barely had a decent dowry and I married you ANYWAY. So be happy, be amiable, and learn how to throw a proper dinner party and to use the correct fork on the shellfish. Otherwise I'll feel alone in the world, the one thing I am desperately running from."
ALL OF THIS, exactly.
@@laurab7049 it’s a left-handed marriage, too. the daughter of a lawyer stays the daughter of a lawyer even having married an aristocrat. louis still very much holds the same social status as he did before
@laurab7049 this didn't just apply to Edwardian era, though
@@Deltadivaix It didn't it but I was replying to someone who referenced Edwardian marriage, Louis was bitten on the show in the Edwardian era... and I thought it was an astute remark...so I focused on that.
Really like how you said louis’ humanity in the show is what captivated you bc i feel like that’s really the crux of louis’ arc, his struggle between his humanity and his vampiric self. Even as he’s changed to a vampire, him as a black queer man living in the society is not separable as much as lestat tried to make him be
Appreciate that. Absolutely love that about Louis
There’s always been something about the murder of the tenor from the opera that made me tremendously sad. It’s probably the humiliation and way Lestat tore him down and prolonged his death, slowly bleeding him out.
For real. It's freaking sad and Evil. Because he got a note wrong? I mean I understand people wanting me to be considerate of lestat and his own trauma. but bruhhh do they see what this man is doing?!
@@FrankFreezy_ I do hold some sympathy for Lestat, but there’s a bunch of times I’m just floored by what he does lol.
@@FrankFreezy_ well to be fair, it wasn't just one note; he was off key the entire performance. If I was as big of a music connoisseur is and I went to see my favorite opera performance and one of the lead singers was off key the entire time, I'd be hot too 🤣
In BD/SM the top uses any reason or excuse to do what they want to others.
@@yvettelang1961 ??????????
5:32 you don't really see it anymore, no. I mean Louis does still absolutely have flaws and does still have emotional outbursts but THAT level of humanity and self-reflection pretty much never happens again ...because he's not human anymore! I will say that Louis is regarded within the fandom as "the most human vampire" of all of the vampires within this series... He really really tries to hold on to his humanity for as long as he possibly can but as we've seen in Dubai he eventually is significantly similar to all the other vampires. He's telling Daniel in Dubai ALL of the original ideologies that Lestat told him as a fledgling.... So yeah he kind of tries to stay human but eventually he's the same as the other vampires pretty much...
But I think that's what makes that confession scene in the first episode so powerful and moving... it's so raw and human and we don't really ever get to see it again because that is the last night that Louis is human.
Lets GOOOOOOO
Also re: spoilers, some people are literally dumb and have no self control, I'd suggest filming several reactions before posting a show so that you've seen far ahead of where youre posting, its probably the only way to actually avoid spoilers.
lol i’m just out here giving friendly reminders😂 appreciate you. That’s a good idea.
As someone who lives in close proximity with folks who are very, verrrryyyyy conservative, I don't really have anyone to watch this show with, even though I love it so much. When I found your ep1 reaction, I was really overjoyed bc it's what I imagine watching the show with a friend in real time would feel like, so thank you for these reaction vids!! I'm having the time of my life bc we have differing opinions on certain aspects, but I think that's what makes this series so much fun- there's so much to hash out and talk about bc the material is exquisite!! So tysm again, I'm looking forward to your next videos ^_^)/💞✨
How ironic that you compared Lestat to a tiger. Anne Rice mentions the poem "The Tyger" by William Blake in reference to Lestat in one of her novels.
I've heard this comparison and I agree -- gaining vampire powers is not unlike suddenly becoming wildly wealthy. It doesn't change you so much as it makes you more yourself...for good or ill.
I'm glad you're sticking with the series and hope you come to appreciate Louis' experience as a vampire, as you did when he was mortal.
"Lukat and Leon" lmao
Absolutely butchered it to the whole episode
Also he referred to the interviewer Daniel as "David"😅 But it's ok it happens with brand new shows sometimes it takes a while to learn all the names, but eventually you get it LOL🥰
@@FrankFreezy_ Happens. Love your reaction and commentary
The French vampire is Lestat. The other is Louis (sounds like Loo-wee).
🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m new to your channel but I loveeee the way you make observations and share your thoughts as the episodes go on. Lots of reaction channels are people being super dramatic and loud (I guess because they think it’s more entertaining or engaging) and not taking the time to be patient and thoughtful as they watch. You notice so much nuance because of the way you watch and it’s so much fun to see you experience the story! Can’t wait for the rest of the show ❤
Thank you so much for appreciating my Approach and the way I make these reaction videos. I'm genuinely and literally here to have a good time with these awesome stories. I wanted to be a conversation between us. I'm learning from you guys in the comments as much as I am from the TV show I'm watching. Happy to share the rest with you. Thanks for watching
16:30 "he should be studied" - you sir, clocked Lestat 100% from the get go😂 Other folks swoon over his romantic opera monologue, but in the context of his partner having just had to pretend to be his servant, this whole move was both v deliberate and INSANE.
He’s so interesting, charismatic, and nuanced. But let’s call a thing a thing. This man is using all the tools in the shed to bag Louie
@@FrankFreezy_he’s like a textbook borderline personality disorder sufferer; the narcissism covering the insecurity, the fear of abandonment, the obsessive qualities
I genuinely hope AMC's Lestat IS studied, in a new wave of modern marriage & abuse scholarship. I shake my head at Lestans who love him so much that they refuse to call a spade a spade; hyperfocusing on how charismatic & campy and sexy Lestat is, ignoring the neon red flags he's waving. He's not THE Devil, but he IS devilish--in any other scenario this would be a Lifetime channel special. Just cuz they're vampires doesn't mean we have to strip away all human parallels.
The vampires int his show are all extremely human, for all their vicious murdering. It's what makes them interesting, and it only. gets more apparent as you watch.
I love that about the show
jacob Anderson says the opera scene was the first one he filmed with Sam, and he knew from the jump they'd do beautiful work together. Which makes the fond looks Louis gives Lestat in those moments all the more endearing.
LESTAT STANS (including me) RETRACT THE CLAWS UNTIL HE'S DONE REMEMBER HOW YOU FELT
@@Nicholas_is_my_name me too but I'm sure you can understand why somebody wouldn't like him?
@@mandarinclemmie Honestly at this point he seems like an abusive, monstrous sociopath, but one that happens to be in love. He's captivating but extremely far from likeable to me. This far, anyhow.
Book reader here. Eh, go ahead and hate him. He's the villain after all. It's more of a gut punch later when you get his side of the story ❤. I thought he was a GIANT douche during the whole first book.
As they said in this episode, vampires can read minds...older or more powerful vampires do it really well. This is another angle to consider when trying to suss out motives. Vampires like Lestat know things about people ...sometimes the deepest darkest worst things.
I alway thought they could speak to each other, but not be able to read their minds. Can someone clear this up please?
@@yvettelang1961 in this mythology, vampires can read human minds and can speak to each other mind to mind (however, like any vampire power, the ability gets stronger with age). The one exception is between maker and fledgling -- for whatever reason, their mind to mind connection is blocked.
I am OBSSESSED with the paintings around you. If I ever win the lottery, I'm buying all of them❤
Love your art! Love that you have cats! And LOVED the reaction, I just joined your Patreon for full length reactions.🎉
I love you. Thanks for all the compliments and the support
things are changed from the original book ..but the current series writing is so epic ,even Rice fans don't mind the little changes very much ...the original book was written about 50 years ago /hard to imagine how Anne Rice worked to bring this complex story into the world ..this book was so imaginative and creative in its plot twists..the AMC writers are respectful and also well versed ..............................these actors are high level believe me
She has a beautiful mind, or a twisted one. Depends on how you look at it. She's definitely a genius. And I love that the show runners respect her so much
Yessssss!!!! I love watching this with you 😊
I love sharing it with you🤗
I LOVE your takes, and how you see right through Lestat's BS.
"he should be studied" - he has been by literary fans for years now, looking forward to your studying as the show goes on :) You got a new subscriber in me!
🙏🏾🙏🏾💜
I love lestat but yeah, he should definitely studied because wow 😅
Also bringing louis to the opera is something I think he did, thinking it would cheer louis up.
Lestat is so self centered and stuck in his ways he rarely sees other people's side of things. He doesn't understand why louis would take so long to adapt to being a vampire when he didn't. Why louis wouldn't want to kill when that's not something that bothered him. Why louis maybe wouldn't want to go or wouldn't enjoy the opera when that's something he thoroughly enjoys doing.
But this is my theory and i haven't read the books or anything, just watched the show.
I think you are right. He has his ways and it's hard for him to Fathom that other people have their own ways that may not necessarily deal with his. I think part of that is the narcissism.
@FrankFreezy_ oh yeah, that's it. Lestat is a narcissist. Still love him tho, but I'll never tell him that 🤭
@@skyflower833 I think you should read the books. Lestat doesn’t want to be a vampire. His origin story and life story is disturbingly sad. And as the show keeps on reminding us ‘memory is a mystery’. Season 1 is just Louis’s perspective not the entire truth.
None of the characters are good or ‘humane’ in this show or books. They are monsters trying to cling to their humanity. That’s what makes them so fascinating.
"stop it" lmaoo and im living for u reading lestat like a book. u see him clearly.
Leon, David and Lucat, please raise your hand if you are here.
Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts about the adventures of Lucat, Leon and David 😂
Lestat is a fan favourite. He's probably most peoples favourite character from the the very beginning. Its so nice to see a different perspective! I absolutely love him (second after Louis) but I definitely had some of the same thoughts as you. I felt soo bad for the sales man & the singer 😢
One of the concepts that I think the Anne Rice universe of vampires grants readers or viewers of the adaptations is how the inhuman expanse of time can shape one's philosophy or belief or behavior. If you live 80 years, then the things you believe and feel should be at least relatable to most. If you live 150+ years, or 500, then what does that do to one's mental and emotional approach?
I cant WAIT for you to get to the second season!!!!
Thank you for your thoughtful and nuanced reaction. Loved getting a new perspective on this amazing show from another reactor!!
This tale will seduce you with Anne Rice’s beautiful dialogue and descriptions. Louis is complex with so many intersectional identities (and yet still trying to find himself). And Lestat should definitely be studied at length! He is fascinating!!!
Enjoy the ride! It’s going to be a fun one!
Thank you so much for watching the video. Very well appreciated
7:35 this skill is exactly why Daniel was soo needed lol great observation 💯💯✨️
At 11:45 he said "F*ck you too" in french.
haha thanks
Lots of people in the real world manipulate by lying or omitting or twisting the truth and Lestat does some of that but I think his character is most interesting in moments like the opera house, when he manipulates with honesty, transparency and vulnerability. I had no doubt he genuinely fears loneliness or that Louis eases the feeling, but even when displaying vulnerable honesty there is some calculation there. More an in-the-moment calculation than a grand plan but still a certain distance from himself even then.
A pawn! Yes, I appreciate you discussing the uneven balance in their relationship. Lestat is a slippery one.
Thank you. Very very slippery
No matter how Lestat got Louis to turn it was still his decision to say yes. Louis made his choice. He later says to someone else, you made your choice, now go and sit in it.😊
Okay, I just pressed play. I'm so invested in your reactions. ❤
I'm so happy you're here. Let's go. I love that energy
Great video Franklin!
Thanks!
You are so funny without even trying, Leon, lucat and david 😂 i cant wait for the next reactions
"luCat" is crazyyyy 😂😂
I was watching like WHO is Leon and David 😂
Love it, looking forward to watching it once again, but through your eyes, especially as YOU experiencing season one episodes. 😊
Thank you thank you. Happy to share
I'm so happy more people are watching this incredible show. Your reactions are priceless 😂. Enjoy!
You're the best!
I only just opened started, your bearly throw your introducing and I'm already looking forward to your review for 3 and the rest of the shows.😂
Hahaha I like that😂🧡
"all vampires all borne of trauma."
The Honeymoon phase is over 😩First, he dismissed Louis frustration with dealing with racism then invited him to their Italian holiday where he had to pretend to be his vale which placed in the same emotional state.
Then he felt forced to bit the singer at the end of the episode. I just realized that he was (acting) for Lestat like he did for others in episode one. So Louis' life didn't really change and Lestar doesn't understand or care. What are your thoughts?
The way you just gave everybody a new name 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction! 😊
Thank you!! 😁
loving your reactions!
Thank you!!
Knowing you've seen the entire season by the time this has been posted makes it a bit redundant to be leaving a 'I wonder if you'll feel differently about these characters in time' comment after watching this reaction, so I'll just look forward to the remaining videos and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
Random but absolutely love all the art in the background! So cool! Also, glad you are enjoying this show, it’s a wild ride, there isn’t any other show doing it like this rn.
I'm so Hyped for you to fully experience this wild and emotional story /series of complicated dysfunctional gay vampire love and grief and pain. You'll soon find that these vampires are very...messed-up but also have a lot of complexity to them, each of these characters, are monsters in their own right including Louis. Can't wait for you to see more!
lestat definitely doesn’t just see louis as a play thing and i think that becomes more apparent as the show goes it’s a really interesting dynamic it’s like this weird toxic but yet soulmated love they have for eachother that’s done really well and can’t wait to see you react to more of their dynamic
Please just let see characters they way he sees them so we can enjoy his authentic reaction. Comments like this that try to police and correct his reaction serve zero purpose. See his pinned comment!
I am in love with this.thank you for your commentary.People call Louis a unreliable narrator but you could really say that about anyone
Everyone always will slant the narrative in their favor and see it differently then the other.
I think Lestat controls Louis by the feelings Louis had for him&by not giving him more information and the lack of others like them for Louis to be around
Louis manipulate Lestat because he knows lestat doesn't want to alone...
So much dysfunction
Very good points. Everything you said. I agree. The dysfunction feels too real even though we are talking about vampires.
My only sadness is some of my favorite parts didnt make the cut 😭 damn youtube
Oh no what part was that?
@@FrankFreezy_ the convo where Louis asks if Lestat is queer/half-queer/mostly queer and he replies "nondiscriminating"
Also Louis saying "and it was both random and unfortunate the man chose that night to dabble in fuckery" 😆
@@merpderp8222 hahaaa the Dabble in fuckery line comes from episode 3 I believe. Absolutely loved it.
🚨Compare to other vampires in this story at least how he is written in the books Louis is unique. He holds onto his humanity even after he is changed into a vampire. That is what makes other vampire attracted to him. Even though it doesn’t seem like it at times Lestat does genuinely love him. Lestat doesn’t know what a good relationship looks like. (He has a fear of abandonment) So even when he means well, he ends up always ruining things. Lestat is also a brat he always gets what he wants . Even if that means going against the other persons wishes😩 whatever you think Lestat is multiply that times 100.
Great reaction! It's so fun watching another (presumably?) Nigerian watching this show!!
Thank you so much!! yerrrr i'm nigerian. born and raised
The tenor scene always hurts me. From Lestat's perspective it's framed almost romantically - but the needless stripping away of his confidence... like any artist watching that has to feel the second hand humiliation. Art is self expression! Every performance contains a small part of you. To be told, note by note, how wrong you are, to be made so completely small, then draining you of life as slowly as possible... it gives me a chill every time.
Thank you so much for speaking on this. It's something I was feeling in my heart but could not verbalize it at the time. Absolute humiliation of your art and that piece of yourself like you mentioned. And I'm sure the guy was trying his best.
@@FrankFreezy_ RIGHT! And more than trying his best, his performance was uniquely *him*. Nobody can give the same performance as you! Nobody. He was cast for that part because somebody saw that in him. I'm not a singer, I'm an actor, and the one thing we're taught is that you have to trust the casting director. They cast you because they saw you, and what you gave to the role resonated with them. This poor guy, he earned that role and gave it his all, and Lestat murdered him for it, in cold blood 😭
Keep in mind that this is from Louis point of view
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾gotta make sure that cat gets feed 😊😂💯👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
haha amen 😁💜
This whole series is magical! Oh, it's gonna seduce you alright, it's gonna do so much to you. Laughter, tears, anger, hold on to yourself! Are you interested in reading or listening to the books? I read them a wicked long time ago, now I'm listening on Spotify & Audible. I would definitely recommend it. Louis & Lestat are so adorable together, sometimes, and then they can be....well vamps! Daniel Molloy is so great, so funny, so real, so intelligent & so fun to watch. I personally would never allow someone to control me so much so I don't get involved with such people. Looking forward to the next one! If you do have questions you want answered, please clarify hun lol cuz I would love to tell you a whole lot but I won't.....I WILL restrain myself.
Magical is a good word for it. I'm ready for the roller coaster of emotions. To answer your question, books or not typically my favorite source of entertainment but I listen to a good audiobook from time to time so maybe when I'm done with the show I can check those out. You're the only person in my whole comment section that has complemented or said something about Daniel Malloy and I appreciate you for that. He's such a great character for the reasons you described. Especially loved how he started sharing with Louie at the end of this episode.
And thanks for offering. I will definitely ask specific questions if I need clarification on something
@FrankFreezy_ I find Daniel fascinating, and the actor, chef's kiss.
Louis and Lestat are just higher on the food chain...lol!
Louis enjoyed taking that tenor.
(copied my comment from Patreon but still)
Sorry that people have been saying things that could be spoiler-y! I feel like so many fans of this show seem to think that sharing information or reveals from the books or offering clarification on your questions and opinions beyond the scope of the episodes you've seen already is somehow okay and doesn't "count" as spoilers, which is no fun. I hope that dies down, but if it continues, you might have to avoid the comments if people can't respect that 😭
I feel so much for Claudia in her rant to Louis...its sad because Louis previously said to Lestat that he "took his life" which is true to an extent because there was definitely an element of emotional manipulation at play when Lestat turned Louis. But Louis was still a grown man who did say yes. Claudia was a child. Near death sure, but Louis took it upon himself to have Lestat turn her out of guilt (and loneliness just like Lestat) without her consent at all. And now she's paying the price. So glad Louis was able to take accountability for that towards the end.
I love how brazen Daniel is...he totally deserved that little scene of Louis agitating his Parkinsons, but I respect his lack of fear or rather audacity DESPITE whatever fear he's got to have considering their past.
I get how people feel for Lestat when he's telling Louis that he was waiting for him to love him and to a degree I also have some sympathy for him. But I've always felt that Lestat's...issues made it so that he just couldn't already see that Louis also loves him. Or that Louis just wasn't loving him in the way he wanted. Louis is dealing with so much repression and trauma that likely plays a huge part in how he shows his affection. The very fact that Louis has stayed with Lestat for so long should've said enough imo. And the fact that wouldn't say he doesn't love Lestat even when he's being held miles and miles in the air, after being hurt beyond compare. Louis has had plenty of faults in this show so far and he definitely took an active role in antagonizing Lestat, but nothing will compare to Lestat taking out his pain on him like he did smh just such a toxic couple. And I love them lol
Love love your thoughts and commentary on this crazy show. Can't wait for the next episode!
Appreciate you. Always love hearing your takes
On your point at the end, I'm not sure there really IS a natural killer here, at least not at this moment; I think it's more a case of what mask they're putting on at any one point. Putting aside how much Louis' POV and the distance of over a century having (understandably) reshaped his memories causes him to embellish a bit, so much of what makes these characters people is the fact that they are constantly trying on new personality traits to attempt to make themselves happy/impress each other/just to see what happens/so on. The dichotomy between a good or evil person can't really apply because neither thing exists here. The only way to have stayed a vampire is to have had something in you vicious enough to survive being one; it's just in what you do with that viciousness.
On another note, your commentary is fantastic! I watched the movie when I was seven and read a number if the books in elementary school, so I don't really remember what it felt like to start off. I'm /massively/ interested in how everything looks to people who go in blind; you are the strongest of us all.
It's really sweet how much sympathy you had for the tenor Lestat killed after the opera. It sat wrong with me too. In the book, it was two prostitutes who routinely robbed and killed their johns. (It was depicted pretty well in the film adaptation.) Either way, it's hard to watch Lestat play with his meal, but at least in the book he was toying with murderers. This guy didn't do anything wrong. I felt really sorry for him too.
Oh. I should specify because I want to make it clear I don't think the prostitutes deserved to die for being prostitutes. It's not clarified until book two that they were murderers so essentially this scene plays the same either way without that bit of knowledge from book two.
Cada vez que ele fala lucat eu perco tudo kkkkkkkkkkkkk divo! Já segui
omgosh
I enjoy your reactions. By the way , it’s Lestat, Louis & Daniel 😸
Thanks! 😃 it was still now to me at the time. Name are hard for me
@@FrankFreezy_ Keep up your insightful observations 🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻♀️
@@Lestat13 will do Mr Lestat sir🖤🖤
I've been watching your Ted Lasso reactions and your insight is so thoughtful and empathetic so I'm watching other reactions on your channel. One of my favourite reaction channels. I highly recommend the show Avatar The Last Airbender (2005). 3 seasons, not too long, considered one of the best if not the best cartoon show of all times.
Great reaction and insight 🎉. I don't mind the pausing or a lot of talking at all. Ep. 2 is one I skip around on a rewatch, but I like the way he says "you're a killer Louis!"❤. I thought it was because it's slower than Ep 1, but the tenor part is really sad, so it might be that too. Looking forward to the other episodes of this seductive tale 😂
Nope never met someone like lestat and yes he's quite a character i have come to like him in the books and in this adaptation sam reid is amazing even though Daniel is my favorite character in the show
You should read/watch her other book "the Feast of All Saints" .....it is JUST as epic ...they made a short series out of it too back in the day
I love Lestat Louis Daniel Armand. Most of all Claudia
I don't think you can dismiss Lestat's explanation of lonliness being hard for a vampire. Who do you share your knowledge with, your life with, if not another vampire? It's not like he or Louis can go tell or show people what they are, because if they did, people would hunt them or try do experiment or just use them for their powers. After a certain point all your friends and family are dead, no one knows who you are, and it becomes suspicious if you remain the same age all the time. You add to that, you can't go out in the daytime, it's even worse, because you only see people for a few hours before they are off to bed.
Go listen again. I did not dismiss it. it felt like a little bit of manipulation to Center himself and his emotions in that moment instead of what Louie was feeling an experiencing in the moment. Having to act as a servant
But… THE BOOK!!!
I know this is gonna make me sound like I'm excusing Lestat's behavior (which I'm definitely not trying to do for this whole storyline), but I always thought Lestat's speech about loneliness was just him being honest. Yes, Louis interprets it as "Lestat had a WAY about him" that 'compelled' Louis to go along with this or that, but I think Lestat can be charismatic to Louis and at the same time be honest about being desperate to not feel loneliness again. There's a lot about vampiric life that drives a wedge between them in these episodes, but another factor is also this, because human loneliness is one thing to feel, but being lonely for decades, while knowing you can live forever, and considering the possibility of THAT being your destiny forever? It could probably drive people insane, especially when you know that any human you befriend or get close to will eventually die for one reason or another.
I don't say this to mean that Lestat's behavior is fine for other stuff, but I think a lot of what defines his character even through this particular view of him from Louis’s side, is this desperation for love, even though he can't exactly manage it for a variety of reasons (can't get into them without spoiling some stuff so I'll just stop here).

Beware of the unreliable narrators is rule number one on Ann Rice´s vampire chronicles. They really nailed here by making Daniel actively critical. She loves to play viewpoint shifting. As for Lestat, he is wicked and a little bit crazy. All vampires are. Imagine remembering stuff for so much time, you can really lost the truth referential.
Why do you think Lestat was evil as a human?
- Louis is an unreliable narrator but we love him -
The characters' names are Louis, Lestat, and Daniel, not Leon, Loucat, and David.
I'm not saying it wasn't petty of Lestat, yet once S3 is on and you see more of Lestat's background and what's been taken from him when he was turned, I think you'll understand better why seeing someone untalented on stage being applauded pressed his buttons so much. He had a LOT of unprocessed trauma and anger back then.
Question are you planning on watching the mayfair witches tv series its set in the same universe as interview with the vampire season 2 airs next year 🤔🧹🧙♀️
You're a cat daddy!!! 🤌🤌🙌🙌🥰

It’s sad how they get you to drop all your guards
