i love the vampire show
Very interesting how much sympathy both the show and the fandom spared Lenore compared to Sumi and Taka, even though she did to Hector basically the same thing they did to Alucard.
Even worse, according to their backstory Sumi and Taka became distrustful and paranoid due to being enslaved by a vampire, so they were acting out of fear of being hurt again and were victims of people like Lenore. Meanwhile Lenore was just taking advantage of someone she and her sisters were planning to exploit for their own gain and whom they already had complete power over.
Yet in S4 the show goes hard on portraying her as sympathetic, “kind” within understanble limits, gets granted a dignified death waving an emotional goodbye to her victim, all framed as “tragic”. But Sumi and Taka? They were just devious betrayers, get a gruesome death, their corpses desecrated and put on display, the only acknowledgment being Alucard shown pissing beside them.
I’m not saying what they did to Alucard wasn’t terrible, but still very inch-teresting. And that’s not even touching on how after S3 everyone was coddling Alucard while calling Hector stupid for being deceived.
OH THE TEA IS SCALDING TODAY I SEE
