#edit: maybe Armand being my favourite has made me biased

[knownoshamc]

just my opinion and that's my main issue with the finale but:

I would have preferred it if Armand had orchestrated the whole thing, but he was also planning to save Louis, hoping that Louis would destroy the Coven later, and kill Lestat (motivation!). I would have preferred it if Armand used his mind gift to save Louis, as he planned from the beginning, and not Lestat (I know it's not maybe applicable, but why the white dude save the day. again). Because again, lack of motivation. I don't understand why Armand would want him dead in the first place (even if it was a choice the coven gave him. I understand why he wants claudia gone), what made him change his mind, why give Lestat the opportunity later to talk to Louis and expose his lies.

And how much sadder for both Louis & Armand to be in a relationship, with Louis being with Armand out of spite (xD) for Lestat, and Armand just being with Louis hoping that this will change, but knowing that in the end, despite everything, it was always Lestat Lestat Lestat.

I think that'd make the Loumand relationship so much more compelling, than 77 years of well... nothing. And Louis choosing Lestat because he chose Lestat and not because Armand was the worst for him, yk?
