I didn't read Louis as drunk on vodka at all, I read Louis putting on an act for Morgan. he seemed more relaxed about interacting with his humanity than anything, not drunk! which seems to me to be the theme of this episode, Claudia completely detached from her old nature focused on finding equals while Louis is still trying!
Perhaps, but I do think Louis seeks out (and experiences) the effects of alcohol deliberately, considering Lestat (aka Louis's inner guilt) also accuses him earlier in the episode of using German brandy as a way to deal with his guilt and denial.
She has lots of bad faith takes and loves trying to make this show look bad.
@@geminihexx9858did you miss the first 6 minutes of this video? Doesn’t sound like this channel is for you.
@@geminihexx9858 I think she is entitled to say her opinion rather you think that it makes the show look bad or not. She just comparing the shows to the book and the characters and how they differ or not.
@@geminihexx9858 the show established vampires can feel effects of alcohol in their version because we literally saw Claudia drunk in one scene in season 1 when cops rush their home. if smoking or drinking had zero effect of them they wouldn't be doing it all the time in the show, yet we seen them do it tones of times. as for Maven she was just making comparison of how that is different to the books which is literally what she said she will do in her videos. she also clearly explain pointing out changes doesn't mean it's bad. how is that in bad faith? she's pointing out and discussing the differences if you dont like it don't watch it instead of trying to start drama where there is none...
6:33 "The role of Lestat's hair will now be played by 4 extra inches"
I had to pause the video and wipe my eyes, I laughed SO HARD at that 😂😂😂😂
I'm loving the dynamic between Daniel and Armand. I often find myself being more interested in the Dubai scenes than the flashbacks.
I think Armand is stopping Louis from remembering what happened to Claudia. Thats probably why things are so tense. Also a flash back to
The Devils Minion would be just the spicy spice 😉
Me too. I still think Armand is hiding something from Louis. Like he has to be.
Loved that you are holding up a different version of the book everytime lol
I really like how you pointed out that Claudia in the show didn’t like the race power dynamic between her and Louis vs Lestat. You said the relationship with Claudia and Madeleine is going to have to address this. So smart. I have been waiting to see how they will handle this. Pumped about this season!
Not sure these are the same issues especially since one. Madeline is not American and has not lived under a legal system of apartheid. And two Claudia will be the maker rather than the person being made so she'll have power in the relationship.
@@cydneywilliams6737 we shall see. They made most of season 1 showing Claudia as someone who would not like this dynamic. I’m sure they will pull it off brilliantly
@@cydneywilliams6737 exactly
ahhhh it's so awesome that you got to meet the cast and they watch your videos! your content is so great, it makes me so happy the people involved in this show also like it!
I was always a fan of the film even when I was a kid. I have to say I absolutely love this show though so much better than the movie. After seeing season 1 I did finally read the first book last year and I know this might be blasphemy to some people but I like the show a lot more than the book. Louis in particular is a lot more likable and Sam Reid is just too good as Lestat ugh lol. That said I think season 2 may be even better when it’s all said and done and I’m so excited where the series could go from here.
Like most people I really wanted to hate this show because of the changes but it ended up being one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm glad that I gave it a chance. I own both seasons on vudu and as soon as there's a 2 season blueray collection I'm buying it! I have a feeling that they're going to make more seasons about lestat in the future.
Perfect waking up material. Morning all those on the premier watch of this video.
44:37 I was hoping that vampire would stick around. Thanks for telling us about the novel’s equivalent!
I LOVE your comparison videos. Last season was A BLAST... And this one is off to a great start! I love what they're doing with the story and I'm definitely blood-thirsty for more ☺ 🖤
I really enjoyed your conversation with Princess Weekes and your analysis of the season premiere, Maven. How many different copies of 'Interview with the Vampire' do you have in your library?
Six, though I only showed 4 in the video because the other two are very well-used paperbacks. 9 if you count the 2 manga and 12-issue comic book collection.
YAYYY I've been so excited for your recaps of the new season🙌🏻🙌🏻
Since they announced an older Daniel version I'm pretty sure they're going to merge David's arc into Daniel somehow
They’re not.
David appears this season.
Young Daniel also appears in flashbacks beginning in episode 7 and they will explore Devils Minion as confirmed by Rolin to a fan at the season one SDCC panel.
Maven hates the show and likes to lie about it.
Not true😢
David does not appear this season. If they decide to keep David, he'll likely appear in Season 3 in reaction to Lestat's rock concert (or whatever the show has Lestat do to get worldwide attention instead). I don't think they can make Daniel be in David's place at all, since Daniel's not Talamasca. He doesn't have any of the epic knowledge of vampires and the occult that David has. And we're allowed to have more than one (1) old man in this version!
The flashback to young Daniel is in episode 5, and the actors have talked a lot in interviews about how intense that episode is. But nothing about any past relationship between Daniel and Armand, sadly. Daniel never could have grown to be old and successful if he'd been involved with Armand. It would have destroyed him, just like in the book.
@@MavenoftheEventide At the same time I do agree that is possible to have more than one old man in this version of Interview Of The Vampire, I too believe that the writers and producers, despite saying that they are faithful to the core of Rice’s universe, will merge two characters in one for budged, creativity reasons or even simple and plain shock value.
Once more, this is my theory, and the sources are the voices inside my head, but Daniel being “at the end of the road”, sick, with his own body failing him, kind seems like a set up for him to become a vampire in the same or similar way David did in the Tale of The Body Thief further down the line.
David and the Talamasca might also show up later, and I sure do hope so (after Armand, David’s my favourite Anne Rice’s character), but again, Daniel being aged up, plus his sickness and previous encounters with Louis and Armand makes me believe that some of David’s plot lines will actually be Daniel’s in this adaptation.
I love these reviews, your thourough knowledge of the books is impressive. I can't wait to tune into the show - and into your review - next week. Thanks for sharing!
Your videos are a part of show watching experience for me. I always checked for them after each episode. Lovely to have you back on this!
why she just shits on it and says the book is better for like an hour every video?
@@geminihexx9858 because I'm a hater at heart ❤️
Every time she says "umm, Lestat's raspberry cream" I smirk, because d@mn thats dirty. It might just be a me issue
I’m sure she thinks Lestat would prefer strawberries since she thinks everything about the show is so wrong lol
Im so glad to hear your reviews :) thank you!
I can’t stress enough how important your episode breakdowns are to me because you do them with so much care and attention to detail, it’s truly refreshing. Also every time you talked about a book reference I had completely forgotten about, I got more excited because as “memory IS a monster” sometimes no matter how much I reread IWTV, I tend to forget those little golden nuggets of story that are so precious and that make the experience of rewatching the episode all the more enjoyable. I found myself reaching for my copy of IWTV and marking them down.
Do you think the show runners and writers should use ‘revenants’ in the future as possible victims of the events caused by Akasha or further down the line Amel or should they leave them as part of IWTV only?
I don't think revenants could be a result of the events caused by Akasha/Amel. The whole reason Akasha kills off thousands of vampires when she rises is because there's too many vampires, which weakens Amel's strength in her, resulting in more and more of the new vampires turning out bad. So her slaughter of the vampire population would actually do the opposite, bring the vampires back to good, healthy strong vampires now that Amel's web of mysterious nano-particle tentacles aren't being stretched so thin.
The show could bring the revenants back in in other ways, though. Maybe we could see examples of Armand's coven making a new vampire, where they bury them and only the ones strong enough to emerge on their own get to live. We could see the ones that fail, and how the coven slaughters them immediately (illustrating why there aren't more revenants out there in the world). Or perhaps with the great convergence, we'll see a bunch of them as the vampire population booms and the new vampires get weaker and weaker as Amel's power is stretched. Zombie vampires running all over the world, and then that's why Akasha will rise to destroy them all so that Amel's power can be concentrated again on only a few vampires.
So glad the show is back and looking forward to your reviews of it!
It’s funny you bring up Lestat’s hair. It kept jumping out at me and I say, “Just let it go. It’s minor. Let it go…” 😂
Yay.🎉
I have been waiting for this.
Vampires being fascinated with shampoo bottles gave me a chuckle. They're so autistic-coded with sensory overload😄
I wonder if they'll try to turn Daniel at some point. His romance with Armand in the books was kinda one-sided. What I got from their story is that Daniel desperately wanted to be turned and threw tantrums while Armand was keeping him as pet in a gilded cage. I hope they add or genderswap more lady vampires.
Nice to see the Maven looking and sounding so happy.
I couldn't wait for your review Maven the Dark Goddess.
Excited for your new reviews Maven!
Also, Louis and Claudia being in Paris post WWII makes sense as many Black Am. were living there to escape from segregation!
I love the comparing to the books as I haven’t read them in a long time and appreciate the reminders. I haven’t read them all I’m currently on prince Lestat. This video was great you had me laughing out loud 😂 looking forward to more reviews keep up the fantastic content it’s much appreciated!!
Great review
I love your videos! I love interview with the vampire omggg❤❤❤❤
I missed seeing you on my Timeline. Thank the RUclips gods for bring you upon thee TL after it watch it last night ❤
S1..Louie started a fire in the fireplace of his home in Dubai, using his mind. He just looked at the fireplace and a fire ignited in it, I don’t recall the episode number though.
It wasn't the fireplace, it was the trashcan, when Daniel threw out the tapes. In the books, Louis sure does set a lot of fires and burn down a lot of stuff, but he does it the old fashioned way. He is much too young and weak to have the fire gift yet.
It's been too long and I'm happy to see you doing breakdowns for the show again. I have a question for you about Louis. I was thinking that maybe the show has given Louis Daniel's mental health storyline from the books. I agree with you that Armand seems to be trying to protect Louis from spiraling and his care for him reminds me of how Armand cares for Daniel in the books. I think we're still getting some nod to Devil's Minion because one of the clips for Season 2 shows Armand and Daniel looking very romantic together during the 1st interview. I'm curious to see what Daniel remembers from that 1st Interview and why Armand feels more like a caretaker than a spouse to Louis.
I don't think Louis's mental health storyline is necessarily the same as Daniel's in the book. Other than Armand being involved, I don't really see any similarities at all. Armand even is handling Louis much differently (kind, gentle, cautious) than he handled Daniel in the book. Daniel was spiraling because he so desperately wanted to be a vampire, and it was denied him. Louis is spiraling because being a vampire/immortal is emotionally hard for him, especially with all he's been through. Two very different spirals. Now that I think about it, they pretty much all have mental health storylines in the books 😆
As for the trailer clips you saw with Armand and Daniel in 1973, I can't talk about those yet until Episode 5 airs 🤐 I can't wait for you all to see it!
@@MavenoftheEventide Okay that makes sense. I was only pondering it because I wonder if Armand in the show is taking care of Louis for Lestat like Marius cared for Daniel in the books before he eventually returned to Armand. Could Louis being in denial about wanting Lestat back be a coping mechanism because his guilt over losing Claudia has traumatically affected him seeking happiness with the one person he truly loves other than her.
I don't think Armand in the show has any intention of turning over Louis back to Lestat. Even in the book, he has some bitterness over them being together later, because he thinks Lestat is bad for Louis, and Armand has always tried to protect Louis from Lestat. Armand has always wanted Lestat for himself, he sees them as two of a kind, deserving each other, but he thinks Louis deserves much better than Lestat. Armand can be gentle and patient and kind and soft with Louis in the way Lestat rarely ever seems to be in the mood to be (at least that Armand ever sees, he only hears the bad stuff and wants to rescue Louis from it).
In the show, Armand does NOT want to be left alone and altruistically give Louis back to Lestat. He'd be devastated to lose Louis now. He can only say he's happy for the two of them in the books once he already has a whole family of his own (Benji, Sybelle, and Daniel back again). And even then, he still thinks he'd be better for Louis despite knowing Lestat is what Louis wants.
I think what would make Armand happiest is if he could have both of them. If he could be their third as Claudia once once. That way he knows they both have what they each want most, that he's not keeping them from happiness, but he also still gets to be part of it. That would be his dream come true.
But yes, Louis is definitely in denial about wanting Lestat back. Or rather, he knows he feels it, but he doesn't WANT to feel it. He wants that feeling to go away, and is trying to move on. We'll see if the show ever lets him succeed... 👀
As far as Armand goes: good intentions, some of the possible methods are to be questioned.
I Love It,I Saw It Yesterday
Thanks!
I never interpreted Daniel's relationship with Armand to be a loving one. Rather, it struck me as incredibly toxic and manipulative. At least as portrayed in the book.
Good to see the young Maven back on the job.
Maven, our vampire queen!!!
This episode 100% felt like Episode 8 and not the first episode of a second season. I didn't dislike it. It just felt a bit soft.
I liked some of it…like the theater announcement of the new Claudia…and the idea of vampires in a battlefield…I was hoping more from the Old World vampire thing. It got trope-y. I was hoping she would join Louis and Claudia, at least for a bit…but then I was like “well, someone will kill her or set her on fire” and then she threw herself in the fireplace. I thought about the same from the episode that brought up the Fang Gang…but we all knew wha bad path that went down…why not have some interesting side characters? Maybe that will happen once they are in France. I didn’t enjoy Louis’ hard or soft talk…I felt most of this was unneeded. Thanks for pointing out the novel vampires get nourishment from humans, whether they are happy or miserable.
What is your opinion on Daniel being turned into a vampire. Do you think it will be bad for his character if he desperately wants it or if he gets turned forcefully by Armand or another vampire? I love your videos and your understanding of both the books and the show is magnificent.
This Daniel absolutely does not want to be a vampire. If Armand or someone else made him one by force, it would make for some very dramatic tv and I’d be curious to see where that would go
44:15 - I actually saw this as possibly her on purpose figuring out what Claudia cared about most and then taking it away in revenge literally just to hurt Claudia the way Claudia had hurt her by "killing" her last fledgling.
i need to find that video with you and princess weeks. but I love how the revenant showed up. I totally forgotten about it. I read it when I was in high school. had 2 look into it via copilot ai.....i chuckled at this. like a memorie resurfacing, memory is a monster right
Here's the video with Princess! ruclips.net/video/skoCDhI3CyU/видео.html&
Wow, I thought I knew some Vampire Chronicles lore but you put me to shame! Definitely going to check out your other videos on this show because you went deep in the lore!
There were a couple of bits that I thought played out as indirect references:
Claudia ripping the soldier's heart out is something Pandora does in QotD.
Daciana reminded me of how Gabrielle is described in modern times: she lives in the bush and doesn't really care what she looks like. Jumping into the fire happens a bunch of times in the books but I was also reminded of Magnus.
I think Daciana saw a vision in Claudia's blood which happens in the books when weak vampires feed from strong ones. Claudia's blood shouldn't be that strong (it was established as weak in season 1) but then again they do mention that she's done a lot of feeding so I think it works.
I was immediately wondering if this vampire was Gabrielle when the episode aired! Stoked to see others drawing that parallel
I've had a theory since last season, and this is: Maybe this version of Daniel Malloy will become another character from the books, David Talbot? I mean, David is very old in the books and then he changed his body for a younger one... just maybe we can see in a posible season 3 or 4? 🤷♂🧛
Ahhhhhh I've missed your commentaries! Do you think in this version of events that Armand knows where Lestat is or is secretly holding him and keeping it from Louis?
MAVEN! Im so happy to see you back reviewing the show! I feel so honored you put my little art piece in your set dressing ❤
My only issue with this TV Show, is that made vampire sexuality already set in stone, because they were in the closet before becoming vampires, but I think that the TV Show miss the point, that one, becoming a vampire is a metaphor to coming out of the closet, and two, the sexuality of vampires are very flexible, is sad that Anne Rice die a year before her vampire become fully like Charlaine Harris vampires (that based her book from Anne Rice), where sex stopped being a metaphor and vampire fully could have sex.
I love AMC's Louis and Armand so much!
Oh! Oh! Miss Hansen! I have a question! *waves hand in air enthusiastically* Do the vampires in the Vampire Chronicles novels smoke cigarettes or cigars? Some time ago a fellow fan of the show vehemently defended the filmmakers' choice to show Louis, Lestat, et al, smoking in the show, claiming that the vampires smoke "on a regular basis" in the novels to appear more human when among mortals, but I cannot recall any instance of the vampires smoking.
They absolutely do not! Your friend is misremembering. It was entirely the show's choice to add that in. I suppose in theory they could hold a cigarette and pretend to smoke it, trick the human's mind into thinking they're actually inhaling, same way they can pretend to eat or drink. But there is no actual example of this happening in the books. Only humans are ever shown smoking (like Daniel in the first book).
"We watch your videos!" Oh, dang, no pressure.
Did you try this ice cream while in NOLA: We’ve got the fall feels with our newest and spookiest flavor! Sink your teeth into LESTAT’S KISS: Salted black licorice, absinthe, and coconut ash ice cream with a blood orange & raspberry coulis ribbon. ? It sounds like that would be a great coffee flavor too.
I heard about it, but didn't try because the fact that it has black licorice in it is a crime against nature 😭
@@MavenoftheEventide So, no absinthe for you then? 🧚♀️ There is a cafe called Lestat’s in San Diego. It was a walk from my place and I used to have a coffee group there. Ever been there?
Lestat’s Raspberry Crème is delicious! Blood in tears travels down! Who can resist it? ☕️ 🧛♀️ 🍦
Ahh, here we are again, it's like dusting off that toy car that only makes sense when the weather is good for top-down driving.
I was reminded again in this episode that they have changed their powers, or at least their ability to heal, which is in some ways very inconsistent.
I thought the 94' version handled the death of Lestat better in that we really think he is dead twice based on the damage taken. Daniel blows this up immediately, and so does Lousi's paranoia, which is a welcome revision.
Isn't Armand convinced he is the oldest Vampire left? He's definitely miles weaker than Lestat, certainly at this point. After Magnus his maker, Lestat had that brief exchange with Those Who Must be Kept where he got a nice power-up. I wonder if we will see Lestat walking in the sun, I would imagine he can if Armand can.
I like how we saw Daniel's compassion in that moment when Louis crying.
I do love the Daniel, real Rashid stuff.
"What's up fellas?" I love that when Daniel is just not having the sweet united front.
What's the name of the art piece that has come up for sale or that they received an offer on?
The Bacon Triptych. It's the huge orange/black three panels on the wall behind the couch in the living room.
@@MavenoftheEventide Is the vampire that Daciana names and refers to as a droll one anyone from the legendarium?
Not from anyone in Anne Rice's universe. Though I'm curious if researching that name and the circus thing she mentions would reveal any other legend/story about a vampire like that.
Just out of curiosity did you ask that question when you were there at the premiere?
I don't watch this show you are referring to at all but you are so excited about it the video is worth watching.
A good episode I enjoyed it
Do we think that season 3 will cover all of the second book lestat the vampire or will it also be cut out into 2 parts…?
From the way they've talked about it, sounds like it will cover the whole book! And perhaps also parts of Queen of the Damned as well.
@@MavenoftheEventide🤍🙏🏻
Elisa, my friend has screeners, and I asked them about Claudia and Madeleine's relationship, namely whether it is romantic in nature. They didn't appear to think so, while others disagree. What would you say? It's wonderful to see you back in action.
I won't be able to talk about this until after Ep 6 airs, but I definitely have Some Opinions on it. I can say that I can understand why people aren't agreeing on it.
@@MavenoftheEventideNo worries. Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
I❤This T.V. Show Version ( Your Awesome Reaction Vlog!) P.S. That Coffee Sounds Delicious!😢😱🧛♀️🥰🎛🖥💓
Are any of the vampires happy, or content? Also, what vampires would have liked Claudia? Sorry you said you liked questions and I was just thinking! Great video by the way!
If Claudia had lived to the modern era, she would have found so many lovely vampires to bond with at the Court at Chateau de Lioncourt. Naming them all you make this comment way too long, but I bet she and Sevraine would have loved each other especially. And she could bond with Zenobia, who was younger than fourteen when she was made and has always been a sweetheart.
i'm very interested to see how they handle Claudia's eventual fate.
What are your thoughts about the "You and Me" Louis monologue to Claudia?
As a writer I mean.
"And they taste better" said Lestat about the blood of evildoers in the first movie. So if evildoers taste better, war time blood could taste worse.
Wouldn’t war time evil doers taste the best then?
i have a question, the official IWTV twitter account posted that Daciana is the last Old World Vampire so do you think they are hinting that Marius already dead in this universe ?
"Old World" in this sense means eastern Europe/Transylvania specifically. The old folklore and mythology. Marius is ancient, yes, but he's from the relatively "modern" progressive Roman culture. A cosmopolitan type of vampire that would have looked at the Transylvanian vampires as superstitious and old fashioned, no matter the time period.
I hope Marius isn't dead! He's way too important!
@@MavenoftheEventide Ok awesome so Marius could still be alive and I agree I hope he's still alive he would be a huge character to just kill off off screen and get rid of
Can you answer me a question? Did you record this video when you had watched all the eps? Because it seems to me that you're giving some spoilers, like the Devils Minion thing and revisited scenes.
Nah, no spoilers. My Devil’s Minion thoughts are the same exact ones I’ve had ever since they announced that they were changing Daniel to an old man. I mention revisited scenes because the actors and showrunners talked about things being “revisited” in interviews, so I’m just making predictions what I think that might mean in consideration of the fact that they got rid of the sets from season 1 and can’t go back to refilm scenes that were on those sets.
Omg! This season so way better
So Lestat isn't dead, right? Does he really love Louis or does he love him like a possession? I have to get into the books because I have so many questions. Thanks for the recap. I'll check put your other vids
In the show, it seems like he loves him like a possession. But based on the way the actors have talked in interviews and panels, it sounds like Lestat needed to "die," to be brought down to rock bottom, to even be capable of beginning to love Louis in a true pure way. So now that it's happened, when he rises from the "dead," hopefully we'll get to see that real love blossom and grow.
He's not really dead, he's been buried in a dump for five years by the end of this episode, slowly healing off of the blood of rats. Who knows when he might be strong enough to escape and live again!
In the books, it's real love from the beginning, though he is very young (only 30 when he meets Louis, unlike being 150 in the show) and he doesn't have healthy ways of handling his insecurities, resulting in their relationship being toxic at times.
Well if we’re not getting Allesandra, we for damn sure better be getting my girl Eleni!!! That said I ADORED Daciana, and honestly I hope they bring her back later!!!!!!!
Now, I'm not saying this actually IS what's happening....but, it could be possible that Daniel didn't necessarily mean that Louis was _deliberately_ holding something back[, we already know that Louis has unconsciously avoided or held certain things back before that were too difficult or uncomfortable for him to want to confront or face], but even if Louis was deliberately holding something back he could be obsessing over getting the details of what he isn't holding back exactly right literally just to keep the focus on what he isn't holding back instead of going off the rails after whatever things/details he actually is holding back OR it may still be important enough to him to get all the details that he's not holding back exactly right specifically because he's already remembered a few other things wrong and if there is anything else he's getting wrong it would raise the question why he keeps getting things wrong and the answer to why could possible upend his entire reality as he currently knows it and having absolutely nothing to do with whatever or why-ever he intended to be there doing this interview for.
But....honestly, I kinda didn't think when Daniel accused them of holding back in that particular moment that Daniel meant they were holding back about the specific part of the story Louis was recounting right then, I think he meant that they were holding something back something else more generally and/or about the first/previous interview or such. And I don't think he was wrong about that.
Did you make this video after watching all the screened episodes or this is your POV after just one episode
After all screened episodes, but I tried to channel my reactions to just this episode on its own, and I can't share any information about the later episodes until after they're done airing on AMC at 9pm ET every Sunday.
So, for instance, some questions I'm asking about in this episode, and things I say I'm waiting to see answered, I already do know the answers to. But I'm recreating my experience of the questions this episode inspired when I first watched it.
@@MavenoftheEventide oh I see...because i've seen many reviews saying that Armand is being sinister about this to some degree while you've directly stated his actions are motivated by Louis' well being and nothing more
Oh well
I absolutely love the detail you go into!!!
Can't wait for more
My read on Armand (especially his relationship with Louis and feelings about Daniel and the interview) is also informed by the way the actors have talked about them in all the interviews and panels that have been released over the past couple weeks. I definitely recommend watching all of those!
I kind of wonder if, and this would be a spoiler, they did old man!Daniel as a way to go about the body swap plot that comes up in later books
I highly doubt it, because they keep talking about how the actor playing him was the person they wanted in the show more than anyone else, an actor they had in mind and wrote the role FOR before they even knew if he would be interested. They're never going to let that actor go. He'd have to quit first.
Love the Chronicles Lovin the show. I just REALLY wish someone could adapt Armand more true to the big (or small) screen SOMEDAY!!!! Why do they always never get Armand correct??? 😤
Though, Maven, what edition of ITWV are you holding up at the 6:17 mark? Never seen that edition before.
That's the Easton Press edition. It's illustrated and gorgeous!
@@MavenoftheEventide bye bye job anniversary pay. XD
gooood evening LOL
I'm constantly reminding myself that the creators are messing with the narrative to reveal how unreliable the narrator is. So I take "inconsistency" with a grain of salt
Because.
I only read lestat the vampire. And Queen of the dammed This show makes me wonder. How are they going to tell those stories in no modern day? Because Queen of the dammed is definitely a period piece, and they would definitely have to change things if they put that story in the modern era
I’m pretty sure that Lestat has already met Akasha, he mentions them in episode 7 in passing.
@remholloway2579 I know But if there is a season 3, how will they handle Queen of the dialed? As a TV, saries, the book was based in the 1980s. The movie was the early 2000s.This show is done in real-time. Lestat outing himself as a vampire in the internet age?it's a hard nut to crack
@@tness93Lestat will have a TikTok channel for his music…and dancing.
I have faith in these writers and the showrunner. They can figure out a good way to adapt queen of the damned eventually. They probably already have an idea. Sam Reid says he talks to the showrunner often about Lestat
I just hope The Vampire Lestat band music won't suck or be too bland and mediocre😬
this how i find out it came out😭😭 wth is the marketing
🩸Maven!!!🩸
I see your point about Anne Rice is dead and no longer can give us NEW stories. I do truly believe there could have been something AMAZING in seeing her STORIES adapted with LOVE & CARE to the screen which between the 2 movies and this show look like wont happen for a while.This feels like somebody read her books and said " I can do this story BETTER" (And i do love the IWTV movie by the way)
TRUE FANS HELP. I love the show and story and acting. I didnt read the books, and can someone just tell me will we get Lestat and Loui togheter again but not as ghost ofc ?? Am I watching for nothing or there will be something ? And how the fuck this show will end. Im obssesed
In the books, they get back together again after Lestat reads the book Daniel makes of Louis's interview. Lestat then writes his own book, telling his side of things, and Louis reads it and then goes back to Lestat, and they're together again after that.
BUT in the books, Louis and Armand broke up before the interview. In the show. Louis is still with Armand. So who can say how that will change him going back to Lestat or not?
If the show gets a season 3, that will be when Lestat writes his book (or, probably gets interviewed by Daniel instead, is my guess), so once Louis hears or reads the story Lestat tells in season 3, that will be what makes him decide to go back to Lestat or not.
I wish the show had vampires get lost in the beauty of a shampoo bottle
48:45 - Are you being sarcastic about Armand seeming totally innocent and well-intentioned here? 🤔 😅😅 Lol
I think it seems like Armand is trying to control the interview and keep Daniel from asking questions that might bring up more hidden or misremembered memories or story incongruities that Armand doesn't want Louis to remember or notice. I think Armand had to agree to let Louis read those journals because Daniel accused Armand of controlling Louis exactly like Lestat did, because Armand could see that not doing so would play right into Daniel's accusations, and Armand had to give some kind of a plausible explanation why he didn't just do so to begin with to keep Louis' suspicion at bay. I think it's specifically _because_ I know how conniving and manipulative Armand is in the books that I think there is more behind everything he's doing and saying here other than and/or not just what he claims.
But, I dunno, we'll see!. 🤷🤷♀️🤷🏻♂️😁 Lol
😇🙂😇😇🤘
I've heard some fans talking about how they think Daniel is a vampire and his ageing and Parkinson's is from not drinking blood. I think that is a little out there but I do find it interesting that the show has been pushing the actor who plays young Daniel out in the press tour more.
I personally would love to see a Daniel/Armand relationship where Armand turns him as an old man. In vampire lore there isn't enough age inclusivity. Vampires are always young and perfect... Let's see an older (physically) vamp!!
Unless they tweaked how vampires work he would burn in the sun and wouldn't be able to have two kids
The comments about her saying stuff about DM lmao it’s not that serious y’all.
I didn't care for this episode, but love hearing what you have to say about it! I found it bleak and uninteresting, with such a strange emphasis on those journal details that I don't quite understand yet. I can't wait to be in Paris next week! Your unique perspective is fantastic!
I don't think Daniel is being machiavelan, I think is tired of the bullshit Louis spins even if he does without meaning to. The previous interview was in all accounts quite traumatic so it makes sense he doesn't have much patience. I think he'll come around to Louis this season especially after that scene in Episode 1. I think it's the first time since the scene in Episode 7 that Louis was being genuine... Not as if he was lying but he was so shocked about having that memory right that he forgot putting on his 'Oh, I am the bored and mysterious vampire' airs.
And we know Louis lies to himself because of the last scene 😂
Yeah, I don't think Daniel is either. Just that that's what Armand thinks. He has it in his head that Daniel gets this perverse sadistic pleasure out of taking Louis apart and putting him back together, and that's what Armand's trying to protect Louis from. But I don't think Daniel's actually getting that kind of sick pleasure out of it, and Armand is wrong about him there.
@@MavenoftheEventide Armand seems quite on edge about Louis spiriling and some people have theorised that maybe they'll change Claudia's death from the first book to show all the Victor Frankenstein stuff Armand said he did in his own book. That will certainly hit Louis in a bad way if he witnessed it and has little memory of it. 🙃
8:14 I think even though the sister of Louis didn't want to see her brother any more he found a way to give his money to her kids.
In the book, he had plenty of money to take care of his mortal family as well as also live the lavish life he did. He was EXTREMELY wealthy. Show Louis wasn't that rich, but he still did make a pharoh's mountain of money, and probably never had to use much of any of it, since Lestat was even richer, and he did all the shopping. With all his real estate and investments, he should still be a millionaire.
one of the most ovrlooked aspects of the show is putting Louis in Dubai.
Jess, the country has the most privacy Laws but that is for a Reason. to hide what is happening from the Tourists.
Dubai ist build on Slavery, and abusing Immigrants from all over the World.
This just made me dislike Louise in the End. in the books he became less Racist with becoming a Vampire,
, but here he goes to a Country that, behind it´s Veil is still on a Medieval Level.
I loved the first episode. And to be honest, I think season two is so much better than season one. I don't even missed Lestat, but than again, I HATED how the show portrayed my prince of darkness Lestat, but maybe I will change my mind about him this season. I absolutely LOVE Delainey's Claudia. She is more alive than Bailey monotone Claudia. In my opinion, if people still don't like the new actress, they are either comparing how both look, which is shallow, or can't accept. And Armand is so gorgeous and I can't wait for him to be problematic. Lol
I love that they made them go to Romania, like in the book, it was beautiful and tragic. I can't wait for next episode, when we see Armand and the theatre of the vampires!!!! This season is going to amazing!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Edited: Yes, I only watched one episode, but I will still say it. Season two will be the winner! And I wouldn't be surprise if season two will make this show win awards.
Lestat is being narrated by Louis, so why blame the producers? Armand can do bad things and Lestat can't? Pointless comment.
No. No it is not 🫣
Since we learned last season that vampires lose their weakness to the sun as they get older and now we learn older vampires also don't need blood as much as the young, I wonder if there are hidden ancients in plain sight!
I like how thorough you are, but I fundamentally disagree about Armand. I think - and I hope - that Armand is every bit the asshole that he was in the books, albeit more sophisticated and less teenager-y.
Have you reached out to AMC?
They should hire you to do a proper recap show.
(Not saying this isn't proper. It damn well is. I mean, proper for them, because their recaps suck.)
Yeah, like The Talking Dead. :). Interview with The Maven.
I thought she hated the show?
I have no idea why people keep thinking that 😆 If you go back and watch my videos about season 1, you'll see no hate!
@@MavenoftheEventide you said the first season didn’t work, lmfao
@@MavenoftheEventide Maybe hate was a strong word, I take that back. But I certainly got the sense that very little of what they tried to do in season one seemed to work in your eyes. Which made me a little sad!
@@kingslayer2999 I just woke up from a five hour nap and have discovered it is my regular bedtime. I was worried that I would have trouble falling asleep again and getting up in time for work, but then I read your comment and my worries were put to rest. Thanks for being exhausting and tiresome. I'll be sleeping like a baby within the hour.
I love the idea of the vampire just as a straight man it is completely just a gay relationship. Target audience is for gay men.i fast forward the homoerotic and I’m left with 10 min per episode I’m so bummed
Please do a review of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Here you go! ruclips.net/user/liveSPOc2pkyV84
@@MavenoftheEventide yes thank you I still think the show is literally just JoJo's but worse but okay thank you very much you should do the anime review
Wouldn't Lestat be guilty of trying to murder Claudia and Louis, especially after dropping Louis from 10,000 feet? That's the only thing about this that really bothers me.
Which is why I believe she’s wrong about not revisiting events from S1. We have seen small shots in the trailers of Louis and Lestat’s fight from that night. Louis was the aggressor and Lestat took more damaged than what Louis and Claudia remembers. Technically Lestat was defending himself.
Lestat is considered their coven leader, and it’s at the coven leader’s discretion on how fledglings are handled. The can kill fledglings if they deem necessary.
I don't know if you've read the books, but the dialogue from that scene is ripped almost word for word from the books. The difference is who is being dropped and who is doing the dropping. It would be extra shitty to pin that on Lestat because he was the one who was dropped in the original.
Season 1 was better
