There is a youtuber i'm watching review the show and I can tell she doesn't like that Louis is black and that the show touches on that. What's your opinion? (Sorry if it's a loaded question)
Here's the thing first off: an adaption should be a way for different artists to look at the same material. An adaption should never be 1:1 exact because there is no reason to do that. It a pointless exercise.
Now that that's out of the way: Louis being black is one of the greatest things they did to create a modern retelling using the same basic story. Possibly the MOST important part of Louis' character is he plays at being moral but is a hypocrite. The moving of his character from a white plantation owner to the black owner of several not above board businesses in Storyville is genius and has an excellent understanding of New Orleans history. I'm incredibly impressed with the way they've woven race into the story (I should note for people that don't know I am a white latina 3rd generation American so it is not my place to go into detail but I can give you black bloggers who can and have).
Those books are dear to me. This adaption understands the heart of the series as a whole better than any of the others. The book was written as way to deal with great grief over losing a daughter. The books as they went on became a lot more complicated. This show already seems to becoming an incredibly important piece of not only queer media but black queer media. Every change has been worth it to create something that celebrates where it came from while being a new piece of art with more to say.
Put bluntly, people can feel however they want but if someone is angry because they think being WHITE is essential to Louis' character? They are wrong and they can chew rocks. Jacob Anderson is Louis.
#darklightshadows#interview with the vampire#i don't want to get into all the racial themes cause there are actual black fans who of course would do it better than me#anyway i said my peace

I have stumbled on to people complaining that they had made Daniel straight but flashback hinted strongly that he isn't.
Those people aren’t paying very close attention haha. It’s pretty obvious that there Daniel struggles with his sexuality. Like they didn’t just meet at the gay bar because the writers thought it sounded good! Several other people I know have gone through this but older closeted gay men back then used to get married and have kids all the time, still do! And bisexuality is weirdly forgotten when this is THE bisexual series.
