    I adore the fact that LA By Night is not scripted or at least led. The fact the cast feel total freedom to go in any direction is wonderful. It's a true testament to everyone's talent that it comes across as planned out. The fact that the show is completely organic makes my soul sing with joy.

      All of these people are ridiculously gorgeous/photogenic, which is what I thought upon seeing them. Noura blew me away because Ib is very understated, and then Noura shows up and I go "Good lord, that's what Ib looks like if she 'cleans up'?!" Which makes Victor's comment "Who'd want to be without all this" *indicating Ib* make a LOT more sense. Not that Ib was unattractive, (I liked her as a character when Jason was playing her) but now I'm like.."Wow."

    Also, I need more scenes between Nelly and Brad they're just hilarious.
    Ib is such a Cammy (who knew) and she will be the perfect antagonist for the Valley Coterie once they come to blows. Drama, drama...
    Jasper siding with X and not Anabelle was something I didn´t expect. We all know the to the LAbyNight fandom Jasper is their favorite sad boy and Anabelle´s character can be at times a bit unnerving, so I'm team Jasper all the way.

I hope to see again all the cast members doing another Vampire story after the closure of this one. Everyone is amazing.

      What is canon. What is accepted into canon. In home games, I imagine most will have very different stories. LA by Night being a streamed game has to flirt with that line without revealing what the game hasn't yet.

  • @lordoblivion812
    @lordoblivion812 3 роки тому +4

    I hope next season has someone address the hypocrisy of the main coterie
    Jasper was a murderer in life and is a murderer in death. He once had the self-awareness to know just what he was, but Annabelle's unrelenting bias seems to have convinced him that he is a good person just because he is on her side. He is still easily the best of the anarchs, by which I mean the only one I don't wish the final death to
    Nelli was chosen then forgotten by Chaz. He stayed with her for however long before getting bored and moving on to somebody new, leaving her with nothing to her name other than immortality, superhuman vampire powers and presumably masses and masses of money. In response to this, bearing in mind that the forth tradition exists, she hunted down her replacement, a completely innocent fledgling in the exact same position that she herself had been in, and committed the single most despised sin the the damned are capable of. and of course to further balance the scales of justice after Chaz's cruel response of doing nothing, she went with some lovely premeditated murder. Seriously, Nelli is a piece of shit
    Then there is victor. Victor is pathetic. Victor was outshined at Elysium by a Nosferatu who kills and abducts people for an unliving and has a haven in a sewer. And I mean really outshinned, jasper handled himself like an expert and victor handled himself like a child. Like people keep saying how the prince supposedly broke the rules of Elysium by using disciplines but they never mention how victor broke the 2nd tradition of domain by flat out ignoring a direct command from the prince of the city three times. By that point Vanavar could have executed him and been fine by the traditions. That incident also showed something he and Annabelle have in common, namely a complete lack of understanding of the differences between dealing with immortals against mortals. Am I the only one who thought that when Victor walked up and tried to start talking about the convention of thorns as a reason for everyone to do what he wanted, Strauss just saying "I was there, you know nothing of what you speak" was the single most beautiful put down in the series? Not to mention how it perfectly highlighted victor's lack of understanding of eternal politics. The other thing that does that is the fact that victor joined the anarchs at all. He clearly isn't there for ideological reasons, he just found the camarila too tough and ran away, hoping he could get more easy power among the shitty anarchs, as evidence of which I put forth Fiorenza, a ventrue who was embraced at around the same time as him and yet has become infinitely more powerful, who victor constantly references as though trying to pretend that they are some kind of equals. And ever since Annabelle showed up preaching for all out war on victor's behalf, he's found plenty of easy power and exercised it exactly as you would expect. Dominating his friends, beating down anyone who would challenge his authority within his domain and killing anyone he can get away with. The only difference between Victor temple and the most despotic camarila princes is that most of the latter are competent.
    And last there is Annabelle. The fledgling that has never in her unlife experienced anything other than her own coterie and yet is unshakable in her conviction that everyone outside her bubble of murderers and coconspirators is evil and wrong. The one who has been rallying the downtrodden to rise up and fight against the oppressors, except she's never met the oppressors and the downtrodden are monsters who eat people. The one who has gradually convinced her cannibalistic nosferatu that its okay to kill and eat people and even lock them up in your basement while you eat them so long as you also help her goals and do what she wants you to. The one who knows for a fact that she and anyone on her side have to be the good guys, and that this even applies to vigilante street thugs who gun down anyone they don't like in their neighborhood so long as they are also cool biker ladies. The one who claims to be a pacifist and refused to kill for a while, although during that while she did take part in a couple of assassinations and cheer her friends on through no end of murders. The one who heard about a prophecy and offhandedly dismissed it as superstition, and hear I need to pause for a moment to state clearly how earth shatteringly stupid that is. SHE IS A VAMPIRE!

      Ok... You realize that the show addresses their hypocrisy like every episode right? Like that's a big part of playing vampires? Also if you think Fiorenza is REALLY victors age are you paying attention at all? Ib outed her. She said she has known her regnant since the end of world War one, SIGNIFICANTLY older than Victor though by all rights she seems much younger on paper. I 100% convinced whoever used to be Fiorenza doesn't exist anymore. She's Hardestadt having cheated death again and continuing to hold all the cards behind the curtain. That's my theory. How could Ib have been bound to someone that wasn't born yet?
