louis and lestat's conflicted yet harmonizing accounts of claudia's born again-ing perform the same function in that they both appear to be begging an audience to believe they genuinely cared about this girl they've both gotten killed. like i know we're a broken record at this point but it's still all about them, yeah. even when they conflict, they agree that she was a prop in their own stories, together AND apart, she's just an adornment. louis' audience daniel and the audience watching the stage play and the audience watching the show are left to argue amongst themselves about which of them is to be believed, maybe both, louis or lestat, look at how they use her to demonize each other. look at how they use her to keep each other. which of the two should we believe!! i need to kill them both with hammers
Many years ago J. Michael Straczynski wrote a miniseries for Marvel's MAX imprint called Supreme Power, which was itself a spin on the classic Marvel Faux Justice League The Squadron Supreme. And in this miniseries you've got a Flash Expy, The Blur, who in a very compelling way is like the inverse of A-train from The Boys. They're both black speedsters from impoverished backgrounds who use their powers to become walking billboards instead of going directly into conventional superheroism- at least in part because there isn't actually a lot of call for conventional superheroism. They even share a color scheme.
But unlike A-Train, whose moral core is thoroughly corroded by celebrity, Blur's apparent crass commercialism ends up being thematically linked to the fact that he's easily the most moral and considerate of the entire first wave of superheroes, because he's literally the only one of these people who's ever had to work any kind of day job, and thus the only one who's really in any way beholden to the logic of human society and its associated common courtesy.
you know how resurrected people in asoiaf get singularly obsessed with like one thing they were doing before they died so beric is obsessed with defending smallfolk from invaders and stoneheart is obsessed with revenge against the freys. i think it would be funny if jon came back and he was just tirelessly devoted to the same bland nights watch management as before. just murdering anyone who tries to tear him away from drafting architectural plans for a greenhouse or writing pointless letters. can i dwell on what i scarce remember? sometimes i think i was born on the floor of that stock room, counting barrels of turnips
