Amc Interview With The Vampire - Blog Posts
paris sucks.
the trailer...i think i hauve covid
here's the blown up version of a tiny panel from a comic i made last year. no more context shall be given. happy pride month.
Am I the only one who feels like the AMC iwtv is basically just a fanfic?
It's really cool and I loved watching the series but I couldn't help but think about how this all feels like someone's headcannons for the Fandom.
For example:
Claudia's age
What business louis ran
Louis family dynamics
them making up Claudia's backstory
Lestat... like, why did they make him so much of a typical evil man in this story? They didn't need to make him an abuser. I know he's a bad guy, but like this whole series seemed so out of character for him.
Though I did enjoy:
Finally making it gay
Costuming
What really bothered me was the fact it was set like Louis lived in the early 1900s when he really lived in the late 1700s.
Im not saying i didn't like the AMC series take on the book but i feel like they shouldn't change so much.
I did love watching it and am excited to watch the new season when it comes out.
Clodia pretending to be Ukrainian willager working in Kyiv while speaking russian... What a shame.
Tho, it shows western view very accurate. Would an American vampiress know that Ukrainians speak Ukrainian (what a surprise)? Would a nazi know that Ukrainians speak Ukrainian? I think we all know the answer. It would be a dark irony, but I think showrunners eather didn't know...
I'm also very sour abot tolstoy's full screan cameo, but well... At least they showed true ruzzians - how they were through WWII and how nothing changed. But still... It's so westerned. Oooh, look, they kill and torture innocent people, what a fascinating rotten creatures, let's show tolstoy's book.
Still, it would be nice to see Kyivan Armand, as he meant to be in the books. But well... At least they romanticized nazis, not ruzzis. It's a progress...
As a Ukrainian fan of VC, I am very disappointed with the plot twist of the series. Of course, this could be predicted, but I hoped to the last that Armand's Ukrainian origin would be reflected at least in the series. It is very bitter that even in the 21st century, in a series that positions itself as modern and tolerant, Ukraine was again erased from history and canon.
They turned a blind eye to Ukraine. Again. And this is right now, when the genocide of the Ukrainian people and culture is taking place. They play up the narrative of a non-existent Ukraine, a Ukraine that invisible to the world.
