Wow, I just finished.
That was chilling to say the least.
I think everybody has seen this, but the Armand reveal while expected due to all the damn signs.... Was still chilling. The way he took out his contacts it was like awwwwwww shit. He clearly had enough. And yes Armand is fucking crazy.
Now what else is crazy is yes... This is a major change for Louis to be all girly like Armand is the love of his life....I know that line pissed a lotta fans off.... But I get it. This show is 100% different from the novels in a lot of their changes. And yes that is a huge one.
Louis did spend some time with Armand after the events in Paris. But it wasn't that deep. Not like they just tried to pass it off as.
I'm not mad at it, cuz it was a chilling reveal... But that was some made up shit
I also agree that he will likely be the villain of season 2.... Just cuz...... He is always the villain. Even when he's the hero, he's the villain. He's an amazing character and I understand the show runners wanting to introduce him early. But these are big changes. I think it was the 7th or 8th book where Louis got his ass whooped by some witches, and Armand was begging Louis to drink his blood because he was far too weak, and he was still denying it.
I forgot who finally got Louis to drink strong blood.... But he was classically reluctant. I do find it odd that they have him so willingly drinking from Armand before the events of Merrick have time to take place.
Like the time line is so fucked due to subtle changes they made it's really impossible for me to predict what happens next.
Like Armand made it seem like he was always there behind the scenes. And while he's strong enough to do that, I don't buy Lestat not knowing.
But, I can say I don't know where they are going with this. I think the scenes with the two of them will be some of the funniest banter in the entire show though... Lestat and Armand almost always clash. And it's almost always funny.
I highly doubt the show every gets this far... But in the most recent books before she passed.... Lady Anne introduced a new race called Replimoids. I doubt the show ever even hints at them. But the funniest part was how many times Armand begged Lestat to let him kill them all.....
It's just his personality. His reaction and response to everything. Dude is a killer. And I wanna see how the show plays it out
