The gay Coming out vampire story we all need!
I always thought that the reason a lot of people didn't notice his eyes except for his sister was to show how they respect him. The white people who work for him and those whom he is trying to work with never fully show him the respect of looking him in the eyes, but his sister adores him and notices almost immediately.
Very good theory
This is a great point!!
Since you brought up Hannibal- let me just say that the parallels between Hannibal/Will and Lestat/Louis are endless and very clear the more you watch. ❤
Completly agree! Both toxic and abusive couples!
I love how dark this show is, honestly. We've seen enough sparkling, "vegetarian" or otherwise harmless and perfectly good vampires or villain vampires without a POV. But a story told by a vampire who was reluctant to embrace his nature and still participated in horrific things? That's the vampires I like to see: clearly removed from humanity, killers, some of them without remorse at all and yet also not so far removed that they don't care at all, still capable of love and enjoyment. The vampires in this show feel realistic, it's how I'd expect vampires to be if they actually existed.
I agree! it makes for very interesting storytelling and I think the show did a great job with that.
Their courtship did take several months; time passes somewhat sneakily in this show, but timelines have been worked out.
The thing you gotta remember is that you are seeing Lestat through the lenses of Louis, and Louis is an unrealiable narrator which Lestat calls him out on in his own books. So take everything in S1 with a grain of salt. Louis lies... even to himself sometimes, and he omits and edits events, and tries to control the narrative. Daniel is pretty good at calling him out on it as well, which you will see. After book 1, Lestat is actually the anti-hero of the series, not Louis. These two fight as hard as they love because they're almost complete opposites but in the end they are also soulmates, as toxic as it may be.
Loving your reactions :)
This TV Lestat to me, was the best adaptation of what I consider what a vampire should be like if they exist. 😍 His presence is so alluring and inviting while you still should feel complete fear.
theres def a fan theory that louis DID kill the baby and lied to daniel about it 😅 love your reactions to this show!
nah ain't no way. he wouldn't be allowed even near his family home if he ate that baby loll
Also the red flag of Lestat trying to cut Louis off from his family.
So many red flagsssss!
Lestat is just a bundle of red flags in a well dressed suit under a mop of glorious hair with piercing eyes.
That's so true. I mean of course people would notice that Louis wasn't aging after a certain amount of time but he still had a good +-10 years before that happens.
Lestat wanted Louis to abandon his home (wherever Louis lived) and his family immediately.
Book reader here, agreed that is manipulative but can i say lestat has veeeeery good reason to think that association w humans doesnt work out, so might not entirely be motivated by manipulation
A little fun fact from the books, when they transition, their body dies, and they basically piss and shit themselves, bc everything leaves their body 😭
Wtf..
WHY would she write that? 😬
@@DoubleBlack2.0 that's probably the tamest thing she wrote tbh 😅 there's also a lot of incest and p*dophilia in the books
@@DoubleBlack2.0anne rice deep dive goes crazy
Great reaction. Remember that there are 17 Vampire Chronicle novels. You are seeing the 1st part of the story. And it has to be taken into account that this is Louis version of reality. But it is obvious that Lestat and Louis had differing viewpoints on how to deal with being a Vampire. Louis always is described as the most "Human" of the Vampires. It is his greatest strength and at same time, biggest weakness in his existence as a Vampire. But Anne wrote these Characters this way..... This is very true to the source material. Lestat was a Monster. Anne did not hold back from showing us that. Thanks for all your great videos. You both really bring us along on your journey through these stories.
i thought there were only 13?
@@politicalblink You are correct. I was mixing my favorite books. Vampires and Sandworms.. ha ha. Sorry..
@@donny1960 lol no worries but yea cus I just started readin the chronicles and have all 13 downloaded
As you’re counting red flags-try to remember they’re still monsters. 😂 The red flags are inevitable 💯🤣
yeah because while it is funny, I find that they’d enjoy it more just letting the story play out as it is without trying to call out or morally justify the things they do or don’t do especially lestat who is a great character regardless of his actions.
“I would just snack.” See you ARE an “I want food” type. 😂😂😂
I can’t wait for episode 5 to see where your loyalty’s lie! I’m forever in love with Lestat De Lioncourt ❤
No spoilers! Vampire powers we’ve seen in the show so far:
Strength
Speed
Stabbing doesn’t do much (healing?)
Sharp teeth n nails
Enhanced senses
Mind reading
That thing with the lamplighter (fire powers?)
That thing at the poker table (Hypnotism or mind control or time powers)
Levitating sex (possibly just a metaphor for how good it was?)
The 'Lestat master' thing is less sexy when you think about the racial aspect of Louis being black in this version(espeically in the American south). I do think the power imbalance can be sexy in the vampire sense at least, dark romance is fun but not when it's too close to reality imo.
Twilight is like watered down Anne Rice so comparing those vampires to this would be pointless. Louis is the most "human" of the Vampires in Anne Rice books because he has a lot of empathy and he clings to sadness. Lestat at this stage of the Vampire Chronicles is running away from a lot and for his own safety along with Louis is why he's very secretive.
Toxic Relationship is the understatement of the century. This is my fave reaction you all have done! Anne Rice's world is a wonderfully dark and compelling. She shows how the idealized view of "sexy vampires" is not what everyone thinks it would be. As for the pretending to be the valet while messed up for, they are deadly predators it makes sense to blend into the world around them so they can hunt and feed.
toxicity is the vampire love language tho, lol
Ohhh yess!
I LOVE THIS SHOW AND I WAIT FOR YOUR REACTIONS OF THIS EVERDAYYYYYY. the toxicity shown is like so realistic tf and sam reid is heinously good at acting it, jacob anderson is just so good at showing the guilt, shame, confusion, identity and culture of it all
There is a brilliant documentary the BBC did with Anne Rice in 1993 now on iplayer called The Vampire's Life and worth watching, gives a lot of interesting background to the novels and her life in New Orleans and San Francisco
Most vampire stories have vampires immediately cutting ties with their human family or killing them. Also, I love how all reactors to this chant “don’t eat the baby”.
New viewer here! Thank you for reviewing my very favorite obsession :) I live for watching new queer takes on this show and your commentary is super fun and insightful ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
lmao lestat is a walking red flag. i look forward to the many more red flags you'll both be giving out 😭loved the reaction!
I am so excited to see you guys react to the rest of the show! Yasssss 💃🏻
Need reaction for episode 3 NOW
SO GLAD you guys are back with it! Please continue! As someone who has read ALL of the books (exhausted sigh) it's quite lovely to see your reactions. This show does a great job with the source material. ⚰🖤🏳🌈
Empathising and sharing the exhausted sigh. Tf is blood communion man
Keep your redflag count on, see how far it goes by the end of episode 5😂
This is the first time I've watched a reaction and howled laughter the whole way through...except when the opera singer was being tortured and Alex was near tears from 18:40 to about the 19 minute mark. Touching + hilarious. You guys are a treat!
First of all, please don't joke about Twilight being your reference for vampire "rules" 😭
I remember that this movie/book created by Anne Rice was a little more romanticised than the traditional vampire creature before, so it was innovative in many ways. The main character of her stories was always Lestat, i only remember Louis in this one book (interview with the vampire), where he talks about Lestat instead in the third person. But both in the books and movie, i remember Louis being the character more on the boring side because he didn't want to be a vampire and just continued to exist on this depressing state, while Lestat was the opposite. Especially in this world where vampires have more of an upper hand, he took full advantage of it. This version is more balanced, although i can't avoid recalling the original book/movie and how the story was told there, especially because Lestat looks very much the same here 😵💫 Sadly to me, Louis is still not different enough to be the main character that does more than telling the story of the fascinating "creature" Lestat.
i loooove this show because every character is unlikable and hate watching is so fun!!!😜
but seriously, yeah, it's not an easy watch everything is so wicked and louis is so troubled likeeeee we don't get a break
I love your "Red Flag " list! DING, DING, DING!🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🫣🫣🫣🫣 Hilarious!
Lets just say louis has very poor taste in man ...
Right!!! Hahaha
LMAO, yeah, _indeed_
He has impeccable taste. Lestat is literally the least evil vampire in VC
not the go compare man 😂
i mean it was just irresistible lol!
I've not seen the Netflix version yet, but wow. And I would guess from your reparte that the one on the left is a top and the one on the right is either top or verse. I have no idea if that is true. Also, you two are hilarious. Thank you. Also, also, 😀Vegan Vampire would be a great name for a band. LOL!
🗯I think vampires get different powers over time, and By getting blood and information from older vampires...
love your reaction
Lestat is the least toxic vampire out there, Louis's version of him is not entirely accurate
Always be wary of any dark, mysterious man who wants to kiss your neck.
I couldn't tell from your comments here (it may be more clear on patreon) ; you are flagging the manipulation between the vamps . .. but are you taking note of how Louis is manipulating the writer??? that is some sketchy shite, right there!!!
As much as I agree that Lestat is controlling (although remember the story is told through Louis’ lenses and he’s not exactly a reliable narrator), he was right about Louis having to wisely choose his victims. Navigating life as a new vampire is hard enough, you don’t wanna draw too much unnecessary attention to yourself. Lestat gave him a lot of good advice in that regard.
Also yeah, their relationship is toxic AF :D but I don’t care, I’m rooting for them the same way I was rooting for Hannibal and Will 😂
15:26 jajshdhdjejje i laughed so hard
Have you two never read any of the books in the series????
NIce kitty, nice kitty. Come here kitty.
Up
Two things:
1. Red flags you might have missed: Lestat isolated Louis by killing the two people he felt closest to, his brother and Lily. I know in my heart of hearts Lestat made Paul walk off that roof and that’s a hill I will die on. As religious as Paul was, he would have never committed suicide. I don’t care what the birds said to him lol.
2. I do believe “The Farm” is a network of humans willing to let vampires feed on them, such as Damnek.
except his brother kills himself in the book too, actually before louis even met lestat. so, nope. they change a lot of things in the show but some key elements stay the same, so there was really no need for this being lestat's doing since the canon says otherwise.
hola lestat no hizo k se suicidara paul ni en la serie ni el libro murio x discutir con louis y cayo x la escalera y lestat mata en su mayoria a malvados asi me temo k la srta lily no era tan inocente como creemos
I had the same reaction to the tenor scene. Way too dark for me to remain sympathetic to the main characters. Honestly, it made it kind of hard for me to enjoy the show.
Thanks for calling out the inaccuracy of "vegetarian vampires." "Vegan" is even sillier, because that's stricter than vegetarian. You can't be a vegan and eat (or drink) animals.
I wish you started with the movie first. Lol
I feel like the movie wasn't gay enough when compared to the books. it was made explicit that Louis and Lestat had a 'romantic' relationship, especially in 'The Vampire Lestat' (the second book) but in the movie, it was more implicit. Still valid since queer media and culture are already so shrouded in implicit and hinted queerness but for the theme of the channel, I think the show is better suited since it portrays a more complex and in-depth representation of queerness.
jesus christ idk why that was so detailed
I loved the movie when I was in high school and I would honestly tell everyone to start with the show. It's so much richer and the plot is less rushed. It's still worth seeing for Kirsten Dunst's performance but not required in my book.
Nor the movie or the show can be matched with the richness, caracter complexity and masterpiece that the books are imo.
@@ainhoabeitia bueno es obvio pero en el universo de rice es dificil llevar a la pantalla situaciones como la pedofilia me refiero a marius y armand o el amor que sentia claudia de 5 años x un hombre adulto que no era filial y otras muchas mas
@lilianaarmijo4518 Es complejo de llevar pero no imposible. La pedofilia se ha llevado en cine y arte muchas veces sin problema. Y claudia no tenía 5 años, su cuerpo tenía 5 años… cuidado con los spoilers…😅😅😅😅
