On the one hand I laugh at these censored versions because of how ridiculous it is, but at the same time I also feel sad. It is ridiculous, they're censoring positive things - love, affection - and I don't know, I just get sad thinking about it 😅 Thank you for your service haha

The point of the memory lines isn't just that Daniel had his memories messed around with by Armand. It's way more than that. Throughout the narrative of both the TV series AND the books, one of the things that gets heavily stressed is how our brains always seem to look back with fondness and comfort ourselves, as people by misremembering things almost on purpose. One of the others, is that everything is perspective.

Yes. Its called reading the books. I wouldn't even bother with the series or any of the movies wxcept for the first one, and even then... Armand is not accurate.

чудесно, прекрасно, умопомрачительно! # внутренне орет # вообще конечно какой-то огрызок получился... зато все дружат 😂

all that but they kept "yes, maitre." what possible explanation is there for somebody calling their friend master lmao

You forgot in season 1 when Louis was feeding on Armand, and Louis exposed that Daniel was wondering what Armand tasted like. Daniel was disgusted when Louis was feeding on the first guy.

I was pleasantly surprised at all the violent action scenes. Poor Luie getting dropped at mach 3.

Thank you for continuing to subject yourself to these translations for us! I think the most interesting thing this time around was that creative editing in episode 3. I'm surprised that they didn't continue along that road, because it seems to me that it was at least an attempt to make the story make sense, which the rest of the cuts don't really seem to do. I can't imagine what they're going to do to ep 5 & 7. I'm curious: what would happen if the network were to release a faithfully translated version of the show? Would there be legal ramifications? Would they get sued or charged with breaking the law?

" I am so sad for Armand trying so hard making this shit up and we didn't get to see it 🥺 " the way I CACKLED this is truly the biggest censorship sin

In this universe where you're only allowed to have one friend at a time, Armand bragging about having lots of friends in 2x02 is actually so scandalous

There's the thing they cut you didn't notice because you don't watch both versions simultaneously. Actually I wouldn't even think it is possible if I haven't one version playing on my phone and the other on a computer. During the talk on the bench between Louis and Lestat after Lestat says "La pome" there is a long pause in which they meaningfully stare at each other. The pause is muuuuch shorter in Russian version and I have no idea why would they do it. I mean, isn't it a little bit too much cutting already? Is it gay even to look at your "friend"?

Kudos to this series for teaching me at least one word in russian: друг. Repetition truly is the mother of learning

Oh god the mutual punishment of you reacting to these and us watching them. Bless you for it. In the uncut version of the show we get to see that after Nicki says: 'I can only understand you when you're close' Lestat replies: 'And on top'. So um, yeah. I can see why this version cut it out.

All of this perhaps finally solves my problem with the show...namely, why does Atmand allow this whole situation to occur the retelling and reinventing of the whole original Interview (besides his hubris that would allow him to think he had mind washed both their minds so completely of course...)...Having his two loves together, and playing with their minds is even better than the hunt we see him go out on, and excitement he can't resist because..."the vampire is bored..." to put Loises words in Armands mouth.

Ради интереса включила зацензуренную версию первой серии. Было такое ощущение что я схожу с ума из-за того что я ясно слышала слова оригинала на английском и их понимала, но субтитры в это время пытались мне внушить какой-то абсолютно другой смысл

I don't understand why european dubs keep the original audio, but make it quieter and dub over it. Germany does this too. My ADHD can't handle it. 😅

Why is LGBT woke stuff beeing pushed everywhere??? People like you are destroying our civilization. And you should not approach childrens btw.

My mind is blown I never caught onto these little acting choices! I honestly hope they go the route of the devils minion ship just because it would be so fruitful to see the pay off of these subtitle hints!

There is something a bit out of sequence that I wonder about... Daniel uses the line 'I'm a bright young reporter with a point of view' multiple times in the flashback sequence from SF BEFORE Louis sticks those words in his head during their burned man scene. Either Daniel's recollection is wrong, or out of sequence, or those words were already in Daniel's head before he ever got to that apartment with Louis. I have wondered why Armand saved Daniel when he found him with Louis. Why save the 129th boy Louis brought back to the apartment when he let him kill the other 128.

The thing with erasing memories is that people fill in the blanks. Daniel had feelings but no memories. He knew there was a Person he loved and that in '85 he made some sort of proposal because he remembers a ring and his excitement and nervousness and then devastation. He probably did ask Armand to spend all eternity with him and Armand erased himself from Daniel's memory right then. His mind filled in all the blanks with assumptions later on. That's why everything about that time in his life is so blurry. Armand only had to set an image of a woman, and a real woman who knew Daniel would be easier, whose memories he manipulated to include Daniel as her boyfriend, in Daniel's mind. So they would know and love each other yet there would be few specific memories. Then Daniel got his life together and married the mortal woman Alice. His confusion about girls might have been about memories he had of Claudia.

I have the feeling that Alice was just a memory mask with her actually being Armand with his sneaky spell gift I'm not sure how different the vampire gifts differ from the novels with Louis already being able to read minds and can set fire to a trash Can so forgive me a little confusion here I'm up to the second episode of season 2 and with these different angles I'm liking I just hope they don't mess with Marius's background like instead of a Roman scholar and patrician being from Anthes or India for the sake of keeping this decades audience happy and as much I like the show I feel like it's aimed more towards LGBT people than an ordinary heterosexual audience bloody hell one day they'll have you feeling guilty about being Straight! Joking aside' the casting for the younger actor for Daniel was a touch of genius he looks just like him as a younger man and I even deaged Eric and was flabbergasted with how much he resembles the younger actor, Young!also I'm glad they chose an actor to play the younger Daniel instead heavy de ageing tech on Eric since his personality and posture would have been more fluid and natural than a cgi Eric who probably wouldn't have had the body language of a young man

Thank you so much for your research, I haven’t read devils minion yet. I’m so excited for season three I can hardly breathe. I’m just open. I don’t know where they’re gonna take it but I hope there’s definitely more Assad.

The edit in the Paris proposal memory and the eyebrow seals it for me. She's blonde Armand is brunette I figure it means sometimes he remembers half his face half hers. Idk but that's what I've been thinking.

Armand is such an asshole (character). I loathed him in the book. He murdered Claudia in the movies and in the book. I hated how Rice portrayed the relationship between Armand and Daniel in the book-it felt gross. And I much preferred the way this relationship was portrayed in this most recent series-movie.

I've never thought that cutting the letter thing would hurt me more deeply than scenes with Armand. But it's only the beginning, so Armand still has a lot of chances to disappear. And... Louis and Armand speaking with the same voice? It's almost impossible to understand whose line it was. And I like how Daniel was exited when he found out that these guys had the same friend. Like it isn't a common thing in the human world

they're saying we may not get a 2025 release for s3... like please i dont think im gonna make it 🫠

Either Maria has a language barrier or I don't know what "blenders" and "micro" mean...

Anne had a rather pathetic overly obsessive love for her (imo very cliched) character Lestat. She never seemed to realize her secondary characters were just as, if not more so, interesting that Lestat. Or maybe she did and that's why she put them all on the back burner so not to overshadow her beloved Lestat. Daniel isn't the only character that got sidelined. Louis was the character we all fell in love with but in all the later books he's just Lestats sometime boyfriend with barely any dialog.

They CANNOT not use Luke again he was such a good casting choice

Can't help but think the censorship made this show fangless :(

I'm Russian and that's buffling to me why they even bothered to localise it. It's the gayest show ever 😂

I wonder what are they gonna do with armand's fanfiction in episode 3 😂

I'm waiting for second season of interview with the vampire on Netflix too come

I sub just found your channel 😊

Armand de infohazard is unfortunately able to turn audiences gay simply by his presence on screen 😔 They had to chop out sections wholesale lest the censors be infected while searching for the contagion scenes. Been seeing some discussion lately about queer censorship (Chinese, not Russian afaik) in another show I enjoy (Arcane), that made me think of your videos. They seem to have gotten around the problem of how to deal with important scenes that are also kinda gay with the ability to change up the animation in sections (all the movement is the same, the models just get placed in different shots), which leads instead to awkward sequences where two women seemingly have a discussion from 5 feet apart on a bench, while leaning against nothing, with their face squished by... air I guess? Not sure which version of censorship is more morbidly funny, but it does let them preserve plot important discussions that happen in bed by just... framing it like it's two girl best friends having a sleepover. Honestly surprised they don't just gather together clips of Daniel nodding or w/e to let Loumand narrate over. It would look awkward, but is this any more coherent? At least they'll have to worry less and less about physical affection as the oncoming divorce starts its engines ig

12:29 lmao they didnt even bother to dub over "i fucked santiago"

Please never stop making DM content!! 🤲🏻🧎‍♂️‍➡️🧎‍♀️‍➡️📿

personally, im thinking the show will definitely have devil’s minion as endgame, but before that, i think daniel may try to get with louis. i dont think they’re fully romantic, but i believe the show has been setting up their platonic connection (which couldbe explored more). VL is just gonna be louis trying to be on his own vampire, without a companion, while lestat & daniel (and maybe armand) struggle with their loneliness and need for companion ship. anyway i would like to see a short danlou/loudaniel fling that leads daniel back to armand

It is kinda funny when you are able to actually know the original and can understand what was censored. Also i really don't understand the decision why they allowed this but in some countries where there is no censorship in media it's impossible to watch IWTV legally.

"Louis probably also ate them, but in a different way" alongside the little wink made me laugh out loud. ❤ The cropping felt really sneaky, for some reason? I guess because it was harder to catch than the terrible edits and rewrites. But honestly, while I suppose it was inevitable, cutting all of Lestat's letter hurt my heart. That's one of my favourite scenes, and I actually gasped when it was wholescale missing. ...Again, thanks for doing these reviews! They're as fascinating as they are heartbreaking.

I’m clapping and cheering at this entire video

If you hear what is actually said..."i assume you haven't heard from my maker". That dosent necessarily mean that daniel isn't in contact with him, just Louis is not. Daniel didn't say he hasn't heard from him. If you see the preview for the 3rd season when Daniel's arm comes into the view he has a tattoo on his forarm that says "Armand spoke the truth". Not really sure what it means but it must have been personal and signifigant enough to Daniel for him to have it permanently put onto his body. No, it was not spite or anger...if that was the case Armand would have just ended him. 'Spite' was Louis word, not Daniel's, and he wasn't there. Armand has a repeating theme in the show. When he is in a situation he wants to end he allows someone to be the harbinger to destroy it, because for some reason he will not do it himself. He let Lestat destroy the dinghy sewer coven, he let Louis burn it all, he allowed Daniel to destroy the sterile relationship he had with Louis...because in all cases Armand wanted it to end but for some reason would not do it himself. At the end when Daniel gives Louis the actual script with Armand's notes, every time Armand makes eye contact with Daniel there isn't anger on his face, but more like as i would describe as 'fear and panic'.It was more of a look of " help me". I was a nurse for many years being able to read syntax and nuance is important.

“This story has everything” list cracked me up 😂 well-written!

That's such a great video!! I could listen to/speak about Devil's Minion all day long! ♡ Can't wait to see what it will turn out to be!

Armand went full Edward, postponing turning your lover until their death.

Armand, Amadeo, Arun, Alice

The part with Roman Weiss is pretty much the biggest hint of all (at least for me)
