Dunno why ppl take what producers n actors say about a show in interviews so srsly, esp when the text seems to hold up on its own so well. Like its p likely they need to tone down their own discussions to be more palatable in the media or whatever sooo idk id rather rely on what im seeing there on screen than if the cast n crew rly think race is involved in the writing or not. It obviously is, i dunno why it matters if the some actors might hedge around that topic during an interview. Them censoring themselves in front of a camera is a different discussion entirely that does deserve to be criticised maybe but ultimately, i dont think it affects what has already gone into the show. Idk i just think ppl should treat all that as supplementary info that can make the text more interesting, not necessarily the entirety of what cast n crew think and feel about it
#tho ig i havent looked into what the producers n such are saying about a season 3 if im being honest so msybe that's my blindspot showing#i feel like ppl having issues w lestat being protag of the next season is completely reasonable#but imo it seemed more like they were setting up an ensemble cast#what ive read of queen of the damned seems to be pointing in that direction too#i dont blame ppl for being annoyed cause i think we're kind of primed to assume the worst a lot of the time#i just feel like. well we can give them the benefit of the doubt here#and i dont doubt for a second that marketing will go hard for the season w white man protag#i just think we need to separate marketing from the text. cause a lot of the time the two have nothing to do w each other#just think of succession marketing team making those videos compilation of 'shiv roast moments'#that were just literally misogyny the show was criticizing#i feel like ppl can be a little patient maybe.... esp when the writers have proved themselves capable of rly scathing commentary#but thats just my opinion#like... rolin jones is not the only writer there obvi even if hes the face in public.... u can be more respectful.... but idk lmfaoo
