Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac Interview With the Vampire 1.02

Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac New trailer for Interview With the Vampire Season 3

i've also seen some posts talk about how the lestat/gabriella kiss is "rent-lowering shots" or how the depiction of lioncourt incest is gonna be a deeply controversial or alienating story choice, and i feel like that's a take that speaks to fandom discourse instead of the general audience reality. we literally live in a world where game of thrones is one of the most popular global ips and house of the dragon is one of the most popular shows on tv. "incestuous white aristocrats" is a way less controversial premise for a lot of casual viewers than anything centering blackness or queerness, especially black queerness- there are plenty of conservatives who ate up the lannister and targaryen drama in the game of thrones universe who'd react with palpable disgust if you showed them the s1ep1 church kiss, or who'd hate on jacob and delainey's casting as "blackwashing" and "woke dei" and other euphemisms they use for the hard r. and i'm not knocking the existence of the lestat/gabriella plot or the show going there or a lot of fans' excitement for it- there's a lot of great story and character potential there, the cycles be cyling, i'm really interested in it too- but i do think it's telling that amc felt more comfortable showing lestat kissing his own mother in the official trailer than lestat kissing a man, let alone kissing his black husband.
