#and now everh new episode is dissatisfying in some new way
Text
is no one else feeling complicated and kinda upset at the changes the show is making to the relationship dynamic with Louis, Claudia and Lestat?
they were always fucked up but not in this way? I feel like they are making Lestat more unlikeable on purpose? He was a dick in IWTV but not even this bad. he never beat Louis. Louis never acted like a battered wife. Claudia never acted like a child of abuse.
It was interesting because the toxicity in their relationships derived entirely from them being vampires, being immortal, killing humans and struggling with all that comes with being a vampire. Louis struggled with killing and eternity, Lestat was desperate to not be alone and a brat abt it, and Claudia was a child who never should have been turned.
I'm just tired of Lestat now being a domestic abuser and a racist master to them now??? And don't get me started on him being a cheater with Antoinette. Antoinette wasn't in the books either.
I just want the showrunners to explain it to me???
I would love the show if it wasn't supposed to be IWTV. The domestic abuse scene was powerful to watch, but it wasn't my Lestat and Louis.
Do any other book fans feel the same? I feel like im shouting into the void
