@midnightkiss85@jade_lilibeth complaining about TVL being "review bombed" when we know FOR SURE which season of the show was actually actively review bombed by racists. lmao
@tr4nstaglia_ i'm assuming this is some additional material from the shooting of 3x3, so they were actually choosing between this and gabi yelling incoherently while being dicked down by jarda in a bathroom
@cerebellvms yeah, like he's just. fundamentally not interested in making the kind of earnest and hard-hitting TV that IWTV is praised for being. i think it's fair to assume he let other writers shape IWTV because he didn't care much for that book, but he's not willing to do that for TVL
@sashaverse_yaoi@doheerim i think he's insecure because people praised IWTV for the things that he and the writers he kept of staff for S3 just aren't able to deliver on anymore. i think most of them just genuinely can't do the kind of earnest and heartfelt writing that so many fans fell in love with
@StonedYogi420@_iris_azul okay then, if you're not lying, then give me specific book chapters where the scenes from the screenshots in the post happen. i'll wait
@tooslinkytosink like at least she had real emotional baggage associated with that character that was genuinely hard to work through as opposed to just being racist
@tooslinkytosink iirc she's on the record somewhere saying that she really struggled with louis' character post-IWTV because he was basically her self-insert and she kinda hated looking back at what was an image of herself at her lowest after her daughter's death
@StonedYogi420@_iris_azul why are you lying about the contents of the books? the only book event out of all depicted in the post is claudia's death. everything else was made up for the race-swapped characters in the show
@tr4nstaglia_ as much as i appreciate their dedication to book-accurate dynamics, i have a strong feeling that the reason we have yet to see book!lesmand in the show is because it's just not there. i think rolin has zero interest in exploring that
@jo64952885@cerebellvms lestat isn't even established as being particularly smart or cunning, there should be plenty of information for daniel to glean from the specific things he refuses to talk about and the ways he chooses to deflect. but roling wanted to ~subvert expectations~ so he made daniel dumb
@jo64952885@cerebellvms this whole subplot is resting on the foundation of daniel somehow being unable to "crack" lestat, which is a stupid premise to begin with because WHY?? just because lestat doesn't want to tell the truth??? daniel is an investigative journalist, that's been his JOB for DECADES
@RealRashidNo_8 he didn't mention that it's 10% of their established audience and a whole lot of new fans who refused to watch IWTV because it was "too woke". he's not concerned about pissing off IWTV fans because he's counting on bringing in the audience he actually wants
