@morimothxx9 not to join the conspiracy but i actually watch tvl on cable (lmao) and the dvr shows u the length of a scheduled episode… and this week’s is scheduled for a full 2 hours, from 9pm - 11pm ! so if there’s more content they might broadcast it all at once?
well, since we're here anyway, fuck it
most of the songs are not that good, and sam being a talented performer (who is doing a commendable job technically/vocally & emotionally) does not mean this soundtrack was worth the money they spent on it, nor the screentime devoted to it
@lestatapologia@cspacat lol silly me for imagining they even made up an alternate backstory for marius when they probably just wrote 3 more songs instead 😪
@cspacat@lestatapologia the fact that even going into the crypt to see akasha is yet another choice lestat made in the book that is stripped from him in the show to further reduce his agency as an active protagonist 😍 damn no wonder she stayed asleep for that long !! bcs that is BORING !!!!
@cspacat@lestatapologia they combined marius with the unnamed elder who left twmbk out in the sun for some reason and even that very intentional act, which was done out of resentment and anger, is just replaced with “lol marius got drunk and forgot them outside” ??????? WHAT??????
@lestatapologia@cspacat and like how does marius existing even make sense if he caused the burning… because he was created as a result of the burning… did they just write a completely original origin story for marius or does nothing matter anymore lol
@cspacat@lestatapologia i can’t even talk about how bad they did marius bcs why would you replace the wise worldly ancient vampire lestat saw as a father figure with some madman who shirked off those who must be kept like it was nothing? AND THE BURNING HAPPENING in 1802!? how does that even make sense
that one youtube reviewer that said tvl has 5 diff narrative framing devices but no objective point of view really hit the nail on the head of why its both so deeply incoherent yet contradictory at every turn
akasha being so good is pissing me off because it’s showing they can make good tv they’re just choosing not to for meta commentary reasons. FUCK!!!!!!!
@cspacat@lestatapologia when they show him on screen killing it at concerts but have to remind us every 10 minutes that he’s a failure by having the narrator come on and say “the failures, album whatever side fuck you” 😍
