this is so not a pressing matter given the everything else of ep 6 but i kind of have to laugh at reviewers saying, "don't worry! armand is in every episode but one!" meanwhile he only has a significant role in like episode 4 where hes acting kind of ooc... in most eps hes not speaking or has like one scene... like you guys didnt have to lie lol... just say his role has been reduced it would be less insulting
aside from the obvious that its extremely insensitive to write a csa victim releasing "revenge porn" of a person being groomed, this "twist" feels so unearned and cheap. it’s like they weren't trying to say anything with it at all. lestat's and armand's abuse of louis are intrinsically facilitated by their vampirism. lestat thinks vampirism will liberate louis. but, louis values humanity, and so he refuses to hunt human. vampirism causes him suffering. this creates a rift in their relationship which lestat perceives as rejection, and he treats louis cruelly (insults and physical violence), aided by their imbalance in vampiric abilities and the knowledge lestat is hiding from louis. this culminates in the drop, where lestat uses the cloud gift to hurt louis.
armand orchestrates the lynching of claudia and louis with the excuse of them "breaking the vampire laws" (even though characters like lestat get away with breaking these same laws). ultimately claudia dies by being exposed to the sun and louis is buried in a coffin. armand continues to lie to louis about his involvement in the trial and erases his memory with the mind gift. vampirism, in both cases, plays a key role in facilitating their abuse.
there is nothing vampiric about armand and daniel releasing “revenge porn" against lestat!! no commentary to be found on how the predatory nature of vampirism enables these characters to act on their worst impulses and hurt others, or how the structures of vampirism create and perpetuate power dynamics. it's just some shitty euphoria type of twist that could have happened in any other show. not to mention that it is not approached with any sense of tact, empathy or sensitivity. it’s not meaningfully nuanced in a way that has anything to say about any of the characters.
