you know how you’re okay with Antonio!Armand? I’m also okay with QOTD Marius (i know I know) If only because unlike a man with long blond hair- QOTD Marius actually looks like a damn Roman!
I will defend Antonio 5ever, so I respect you (and others) for defending actors in roles that others disagree with.
You have a valid point, and I actually rather like this production still is he wearing red velvet?? (I think it’s velour but it counts!)
…and yet, we also have Lee Pace…
I liked the idea of the druids not letting him cut his hair. Something about that felt like another means of trying to break him, by taking away his ability to even choose his own grooming, they were trying to chip away at his sense of self, the better to give himself over to what they wanted him to be for them.
Maybe part of why Marius was drawn to rescue Armand from the brothel is that he could relate to the frustration of imprisonment, though his own abuse was very different from Armand’s.
|| I will take Antonio over creepy cherub guy trying way too hard to be 17 but looks 40 any day. I just pretend Antonio is Santino fucking with you.
I like the idea that it’s Santino fucking with us, hahaha.
I have such nostalgia for Antonio!Armand. Antonio doesn’t deserve the hate he gets for Armand, he did a great job, and brought a dark European hawtness to it. Check out my #Defending Antonio tag for legitimate ideas defending his casting.
In essence: if they had cast a cherubic teenage redhead (or older creepy cherub dude trying to look 17 *cough cough* movie!QotD *cough*) it might have been confusing to people who hadn’t read the books, and might have taken the sympathy away from Louis (who was supposed to remain the focus, it’s HIS story, after all). That would have been compromised by omg cute little redhead bby we want to snuggles you! <– If the person at least had the right appearance.
Let’s say it was an appeal to those who hadn’t read the book(s) … casting an Armand that they could understand more easily as being a more mature/father/teacher figure for Louis.
suggested by anon – attention seeking Armand bothering our poor Louis :3
whiningforcenturies and I were joking about Lestat’s leather pants and how the others must have reacted.
at least Louie can track his movements by the squeaking of leather.
