The Vampire Lestat

For Starters, it's not _The Vampire Lestat_, they seem to be doing _The Queen of the Damned_, the third book not the second. And then all of the meh DEI political changes that made _Interview With the Vampire_ suck are still in place and in your face. Louis is still Black, not an aristrocratic slave owner, it was still a couple centuries later which cuts off some of the back story to the characters... ... only in this one because of the political rewrites and changes they are forced to make even more changes that break the story of the Vampire Chronicles and it's clear that they are reaching to try and fill in the gaps made when they did the unnecessary changes to _Interview_. And the changes were seriously unnecesssary, The Vampire Chronicals were alreay pretty woke, they were already extremely LGBT, they really didn't need to change things to give it a woke message, it was already there, the changes were just made to **SCREAM THE MESSAGE IN YOUR FACE AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE** and not convey it with the subtlity and grace that Anne Rice did. So now they are clearly grasping at straws to make _The Vampire Lestat_, because they already killed the novel when they made _Interview_... and unfortunately, it shows, the story is really hurting for it as it moves further and futher away from the source material. But whatever, my wife likes it, but then again, she didn't read the novels.
