    I love your format! It’s annoying that people are complaining, especially since I assume most have them have already seen the episodes?? Why do they care if you’re pausing. If they’ve gotten this far in the series of your reactions, they should know what to expect by now.

      I believe what the commenters were complaining about is that sometimes he pauses in the middle of a scene to talk for a while and do some theories or speculate or ask something, and the answer or resolution is in the next couple of lines on that same scene, and I understand how someone who has seen the show a lot could get annoyed at that. As in, "you're speculating like 20 seconds about something that's going to be resolved literally in the next line if you just let the scene play". But at the same time, he doesn't know how the scene is going to play or even when the scene is going to end, and a lot of people prefer to say their thoughts in the moment they're having them instead of waiting, because they may forget them or change their minds.
      That's the style here and I agree, if you got to this point you should know that's how he does it and a lot of us prefer it this way.
      (I hope that was clear lol, I was trying to explain it from those comments pov, but English isn't my first language so maybe it got confusing sorry!).

    If there's one thing I find incredibly annoying about reaction videos is people speaking over the show still playing, missing whole lines, details and important cues, not reflecting on anything, and then asking stupid questions because they didn't pay attention. SO I LOVE that you pause whenever you feel like commenting/discussing something. Even without the books' background, you get the richness of the show, and manage to be quite insightful about the characters and plot, catching all the cues and always adding interesting perspectives. You're doing a great job! This is how reaction videos should be ;)

  • @emorymcc
    @emorymcc Місяць тому +97

    I think what’s interesting about vampirism in relation to forgiveness is that they have unlimited time. A human may not change within the 80 or so years of life but who is to say a vampire wouldn’t over centuries? That’s not to excuse his actions by any means and I think what’s unique about the show and Anne Rice’s writing is that they never ask you to forgive. They provide context for behavior but never excuse it. Vampirism is so compelling!

    • @emorymcc
      @emorymcc Місяць тому +26

      I think some people are forgetting that just because Louis got an extra ~50 years to chill out a bit doesn't mean Lestat stopped being the villain here. And I say that as a huge long-time fan of him! He's being a terrible person; let him get called out for that! What's the point of liking someone, particularly in gothic narratives, if you aren't willing to watch them grow?

      What I really like about Lestat (and all the other vampires in these books) is that they are so charming, entertaining and deluded, we just follow them and see the world from their point of view, completely forgetting we are the preys here, and they are all villains.
      I love to remind this while reading.

    I understand your mixed feelings about Louis taking Lestat back, it is a topic I'm personally sensitive about as well
    It wasn't until after I finished the show I understood I was seeing it through the human lense. Yes, it is a show that reflects the essence of human nature but it is vampires we're talking about, monsters with infinite time on their hands and a different moral compass
    The way I see it now, if I were on his shoes, immortal with endless time ahead and the threat of loneliness for the rest of eternity, I would take him back as well
    It's crazy how a silly vampire show can challenge our morality and analyze our very existence 😂

    What Lestat does to Claudia in this episode is to me the worst thing he's ever done. And idk if it's "right" to feel that way because obviously what he did to Louis was physically so much worse, but just seeing Claudia's happiness and relief at finally escaping this bad situation and that all being snatched back within minutes. It's so awful to watch. Such a hard scene to get through.

      yknow, i find that hard to believe when he kept a relationship of Decades with her, always said "soon i'll kill her" and yet never did and in the end, decided to transform her even while his own relationship to louis was on the line against this one woman's life that everyone swears he doesn't gaf... tbh... kinda funny that people love to call for Unreliable Narrator unless it's for stuff that they have reason to dislike. louis has virtually no clue of the depth of this relationship because he was completely on the outside of it. i think lestat had more feeling for her than everyone believes, and he would be a better character for it, in my opinion. a lestat whose main focus is only louis is a weaker character.

      So true. I hate it when I watch a reaction, especially to an amazing show like IWTV, and the reactor just sits there and have us watch them watch the show with little input. I watch reaction videos to see people react/talk about what their seeing, to get different perspectives from my own and sometimes realise things I didn't realize when I watched a show/movie on my own.

I love how you're angry at Lestat like Claudia (and the audience) and at the same time pointing out that Lestat is handsome and charming and capable of being caring when he wants to be like Louis (and, again, like a good portion of the audience).

I have always thought the discussion on if people can really change quite interesting. I personally do believe that people can change with time and experience but I also understand why people have different takes on this. I do think looking at this from a mortal vs immortal lense is important for this show. As humans we have less experiences and less time to actually change whereas vampires have centuries and because they see the world around them change so much i believe that this could either lead them to become kind of stagnant in their personal development or even more willing to change.

Some viewers loved him from the start (or even before the show was released: old canons with old fandoms), some flip-floped, and some hate him with passion. By the end of season 2 you'll probably have a clearer picture, but the show is not trying to trick you, even with the "unreliable narration" that is going on. Just enjoy the ride!

    Your format is definitely what makes your videos interesting to watch and stand out, don't change it! I normally don't watch reactors of shows, cause whenever there are any thought-provoking scenes or lines most people I've seen just breeze by it and dont dissect it, but I love hearing your thoughts and opinions, which are on point. I like that you recognise the complexity of the characters - no one is perfect, anyone can do things that are morally corrupt and everyone has trauma that changes how they behave. Obviously this episode it's really only Lestat that's acting like a dickhead, but not Claudia, not even Louis are saint.
    I think when it comes down to it we have to take in the fact that they are not human, they are vampires; monsters that can't die, that live forever, so their perception of what we consider "normal", "moral" or "unforgivable" is warped. I'm stopping myself here because otherwise i'll go on a tangent. Hopefully this was somewhat comprehensible, english is not my first language :D

    Love the format! That’s what I love about good reactors, the analysis!
    This is Louis story. There’s a lot of his complex nuanced emotions clouding these memories. Lestat is not shown in a good light at all.

    Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about not liking or not empathizing with Lestat. People tend to forget that IWTV is Louis’ story and Lestat is the antagonist. Lestat gives you very little to empathize with, but Lestat super fans would rather spoil the entire series than let people get to know characters naturally.

    Appreciate your analysis even more after hearing how it's got you going through remembered emotions - just glad you're doing what you can to work past it! As for the show, I guess it's a compliment to watch something that brings out strong reactions and provokes a lot of thoughts - these complex characters really do get under our skin, that's for sure! And I'm with those who wouldn't want your format to change - I'd far rather you paused to discuss or theorise about things than talk through or miss all the finer details that others fail to see half the time! Nice reaction, as always, and I can't wait for your finale vid now! Take care!

    Yeah, you're absolutely correct in your assessment that Lestat has a lot of trauma in his history... Magnus is just one instance of trauma but he absolutely has more! Things happened to him prior to Magnus and post Magnus that fucked him up.... Most of it will most likely be explored in season 3... We don't have exact details from the showrunners but a couple of characters have been named dropped in interviews that hint towards them going significantly into Lestat's past on season 3... Or at the very least I'm expecting a COUPLE of episodes to be dedicated to his backstory... Hopefully, not just one ep. Which is exciting... But it will absolutely be very dark and difficult to watch at times, I'm sure.

  • @sircharlesmormont9300
    @sircharlesmormont9300 15 днів тому +1

    I think the people defending Lestat are readers. I read some of the books way back in high school, so my memory is likely faulty - the odyssey of recollection and all of that. I do recall feeling like Anne Rice retconned quite a bit when she switched the POV character and started to focus more heavily on Lestat. I know I have a lingering fondness for our flamboyant, gutsy, often histrionic brat prince, myself, and I can barely remember why! While Lestat was definitely the villain of the novel, I think the show made him even less sympathetic - veering into unredeemable. There are three scenes that stand out to me: the priest punch, the DV scene, and the creepy train scene. All of those made me cringe a little bit because they're over-the-top even for a character who is basically the walking definition of "over-the-top." As far as I can recall, these are all additions to this adaptation. I think the writers did that to make the audience root for Claudia's plan. I'm not sure I will ever forgive this version of Lestat for these things, either.

    Please please do NOT adjust or change your format/style just because of that loud minority . I'm glad you know that the majority of us freaking love how much you have to say and how much you say. And thank you for sharing your own traumas. As someone with her own physical and sexual trauma, this show has really dealt with stuff that a LOT of people can relate to and is TOUGH.
    I'm glad you recognized Louis' suicidal ideation and depressive state. A lot of people know he's depressed, but not everyone realizes just how dark a place he is in mentally.
    To defend the Lestat fans (as one), he is partially loved BECAUSE of how crazy and unhinged he is, so hopefully you enjoy that aspect of him. But part of loving Lestat should mean being able to see and acknowledge his faults.
    Rashid as a whole is a bit of a conundrum I love it!

    @Javi-Aloi Місяць тому +3

    Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience, as a 'Lestan' or just a Lestat fan I just love how charismatic and full of character he is but I can still recognize how much of an abuser he is to Louis and Claudia on this season, If I think of an actual person that acts like him in real life I would of course not be a fan of them but run on the opposite direction as fast as I can, no matter how charismatic, so I can see clearly how toxic he is to Louis since episode 1 and if this wasn't a series I wouldn't want for them to stay together. But because it is a series and the leads are in a romantic relationship I do want them to work out, it would be great if they had a better relationship but because I love these two characters together I want them to be in a relationship.
    All that to say, I feel the same way as you in all the thoughts you had about these characters! Can't wait for you to watch season 2 and all the new characters that await! ❤

  • @sapphicdeancas

    Regarding the conversation about change, my personal belief is that people can change if they truly put in the effort and also have a system to support it. It's always easy for us to accept that people change towards the worse, but really hard to believe they change in the opposite direction which for me is too pessimistic. Although I understand it, bc sometimes when I hate someone or I'm really hurt by someone, it's easier to believe they can't change and everything is black and white. I think vampires are the perfect tool to explore this though because they are immortal so they basically have eternity to change their behaviours. Sometimes people try to excuse the actions of the characters in this show by saying "oh, they're vampires and vampire morality is different" but for me it's not the gravity of the actions that differs, it's simply the fact that they have more chances than we as humans could have to grow and evolve. Like I believe in rehabilitation, but sometimes if a human does something extremely fucked up, they might not have the necessary amount of time and chances to become someone better, unlike an immortal being. That's my view on it at least.

I mean, I have we watched the show so many times, and there's always something new to learn. I'm watching Reactions to see something that I might have missed

    Lestat has a way about him, I love the character Lestat, hate the moments he is the most fucked up person in the story tho.
    And thats the beauty of it, if this was real, I'd despise him, and I know it mirrors real scenarios in many many ways, but its still fiction, and I love myself some fucked up dark fiction.
    And dont't worry, that doesnt mean I think any other view on the show and/or characters is wrong(edit: And I dont think most people think that way either), the best thing of this show is that as every character is a bit or a lot fucked up, and as we carry our own life experiences into the story(or lack of them), everyone has a different take on it, the showrunners know it, and im pretty sure they play with it, maybe they are fucked up too, playing with our emotions, but dont we love it? xD.
    I personally watch reactions to vicariously live stories from the eyes of someone who will hopefully have some deep thoughts on the story... I like to learn even more about the story through other perspectives, and your reactions are amazing, one of the best reactions to this show man, love your videos, not only this ones, I've watched your metal gear lets plays and they are amazing too, keep it up!

    I can relate to what you were saying about the friend who relied so heavily on you emotionally. Most of my friendships growing up were that, and even in my early 20’s I was still learning what I could and would put up with when it came to that. I had a former coworker/friend who took way more than I could handle while getting into worse and worse situations and waving off concerns, and I had to just cut her from my life because I couldn’t keep her afloat on top of anything I was dealing with in my own life. I hope she’s doing better now, I know she’s moved states and is still alive, but I don’t ever plan on reaching out again in case she’s still the same.
