Race swapping added nothing to the show
Race swapping Louis and Claudia to blacks added nothing to the story.

shareI disagree. I like the strong New Orleans, French and Creole cultures that were missing from the original as well as the empowered black characters in the racist South. The 1920s update was a good idea along with a more explicit sexual relationship between Lestat and Louis which was previously sanitized.
Huge improvement over the movie in which neither Cruise nor Pitt uttered a French word.
Why is every vampire a homosexual? They definitely over did it on the homosexual element. I’m a black guy and I didn’t like it that they race swapped Louis into a black guy then made him an overt homosexual, WTF?
share"Why is every vampire a homosexual?"
That's an odd question. Vampires have always been bisexual.
You're not black.
Bro, I ain’t gonna trip over the not black comment.
Like if I were a vampire, I wouldn’t be seeking out male company.
You're still not black.
Sucking blood = vampire sex
You would be getting off on sucking the necks of men and women. There are no male vampires who turn down the chance to suck blood from a man. Sex is just the next step.
I guess they wanted to avoid the plantation and slavery parts of the book.
shareChanging the time period and race-swapping some of the characters didn't help the show at all. It stinks, and I doubt many people are watching it, even Anne Rice fans. Only reason I know anything about it is because of the costume recaps over on "Frock Flicks."
shareYes, it added nothing. Black guy here and even I can admit it.
shareBingo. I LOVE the Anne Rice books and the 1994 film, and I wouldn't touch this garbage series with a 10ft pole.
So what if it didn't?
Aren't some people always complaining that race swaps alter the film/show in a way that they can somehow no longer accept or enjoy said story?
I would have thought that the usual snowflakes who get their knickers in a twist about race swaps would be pleased to hear that it changes nothing here.
