Vampire Chronicles: The Life Of Marius De Romanus

[@declangallagher1448]

Louis killing that bastard Santiago was the best bit of Interview With A Vampire!

[@VampireFolkloreVideos]

Agreed

[@FunkyTomo]

Santiago in the new TV series (season 2) is an amazing character , the actor did a great job

[@bmad8870]

[@yensid4294]

Marius was my favorite vampire (other than Lestat) & I remember liking Blood & Gold the most of the vampire books that came after the original trilogy. It's been over 20 years since I read any of these novels so the recap was enjoyable

[@aubreeshepherd1873]

Marius was my favorite too

[@billwheeler1213]

Here for the same reason, not even sure how long ago I read these.

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

Looking back I can see why they made Marius, Lestat's maker in the movies because even though he wasn't in the books, he might as well have been because he taught Lestat a lot about being a vampire so in a sense he was Lestat's adoptive maker. Marius also scolds Lestat about his childish attitude early on. I hope we get too meet him in the TV show.

[@AndrewForte-kh3zi]

They did mention him in passing in IWTV season 1 episode 1.

[@mare2723]

He’s in the books you must not have read them all!

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

@@mare2723 What I meant to say is that in the books Marius wasn't Lestat's maker but he was in a sense because he taught Lestat about being a vampire.

[@Frances643]

I can see what you mean. Marius wasn’t his maker but he was his teacher and Lestat knew Marius wouldn’t deny him knowledge. Brings us to Lestat ‘s childhood in France -his father being practically illiterate and his mother educated but keeping that life to herself. Then the monastery ,wanting an education and being bought back home ..his mother selling her jewels to get him a horse and guns to placate him which leads to him being the “Wolf Killer”-which leads to Magnus since it’s what attracts Magnus to Lestat..Magnus his vampire father -the ancient alchemist-who jumps into the fire taking all his knowledge with him leaving Lestat once again to learn on his own. Which then brings Lestat to Armand who also refuses Lestat which ultimately leads Lestat to Marius. Marius is the only one Lestat can always turn to no matter what.

​@mare2723 you must not read or comprehend comments before you comment🤨

[@michaeldriggers7681]

Marius has always been my favorite character in the Vampire Chronicles.

[@ladyfibonaccii]

Anne is a true historian. She is getting all the history correct. Like real life history and how civilization rose. Even bringing up the druids of the ancient Germanic Tribes! I'm in even more love now. With the things I know about how civilization began... when, where, and who. Marvelous Anne!!!! If you love history you will enjoy the longer bits that don't seem to fit to the narrative... they fit into Marius's narrative so that's why Anne included it. Because it's important to Marius.

[@emosam07]

Pandora does this really good!

[@michaeldriggers7681]

She also said the Picts were a race of nigh immortal race of milk loving, super tall non human sex maniacs, so. . .

[@baronbamse1040]

Aren't druids historically a Celtic thing? because I haven't heard of germanic druids (there might be some equivilant)

[@ladyfibonaccii]

@@baronbamse1040 look into it.

[@ladyfibonaccii]

[@hopemullinax6839]

When you mentioned Marius going on for three pages long about Christianity, I am currently reading Pandora for the first time and was just talking to my vampire-loving friend about the opening chapaters and how I really don't care what the pen on paper sounds like which Pandora goes on about for like 2 pages. Anne was so herself from start to finish. That's why we love and miss her

[@christopherdeluague385]

Between Rice and Tolkien I can happily read multi page descriptions of the blandest stuff lol

[@sifilore]

People may not like Queen of the Damned but I do and have the soundtracks when it came out, both of them, the score album of the background music and the singing. The deleted scene of Marius meeting Pandora and Armand at the Hollywood sign should’ve stayed in the film. I’m no novelist but my idea for my own vampires is, those converted below the age of 25 will continue age till then. Those older will stop right where they r. Scientifically confirmed that 25 is when people r at *full* mental maturity.

[@VampireFolkloreVideos]

They deleted all the scenes that linked the movie together properly

[@-sweyn-9559]

It’s an incredible soundtrack. But the movie was so drastically different.

[@snakey319]

the movie is so bad, but Aaliyah was great as Akasha, if only it was more from the book.

[@evenstar04]

@@snakey319 are you serious? Aalyah's acting was so bad. I still like the movie, but most of the acting was terrible, especially from her.

[@lysirishfleur3030]

It's actually 27. But I would be happy with 25 forever

[@ali.h8408]

In my humble opinion Blood and Gold is Anne Rice's best work, I love the story of Marius in Rome and the complex love he has for Art , Lestat and the Queen. The book is amazing with deep descriptions of the ancient world and Vampire society.

[@Resplencemelodi]

I appreciate his inner sense to flee. Even escape dangerous situations that would have ended his life centuries ago.

[@Indi3R]

the think I enjoyed his story the most as it was packed with art and history. He was a vampire of very fine taste and extremely wise

[@vixxxenfoxxx3660]

Imagine being able to watch history play out in such a way and then laugh at how the mortals are actually taught history, like how much of recorded history is true and how much of it was written to make us believe a certain perspective. Being a 2000 year old vampire you'd know the real truth but would be unable to correct it, like explain what REALLY happened and what those times were like. It's not like you could say 'well, I know because I lived through the Roman Empire and through the medieval times....' That'd drive me crazy.

[@WitchonWheels999]

Thank you so much for the effort and passion you put into these videos. Especially the vampire chronicles related videos.🖤

[@mommiesaurus]

The beautiful art of your understanding of Anne. Thank you for loving her the way you do.

[@felipeoliveira6543]

I'm a amateur writer myself, and I write about vampires in all my "works". I love everything that comes from the vampire's theme. I've played games, tabletop rpgs, listened to music and the list goes on. And so, Anne Rice's books are like a gold mine to me. I've read Interview with the vampire, a part of Queen of the Damned and I'm reading Vampire Lestat by now. I've watched the movies a lot and much more. Her universe is lovely, dark and sexy and every word makes the scene feels real (specially the gore scenes). She was a master of her craft, and now you made me want to read about Marius. Thank you, and I hope Anne Rice's gifts can help me become a better and more creative writer. Again, Thank you.

[@adamcampbell5977]

you forgot about khayman who was the first person turned into a vampire after akasha and enkil, a little bit older than the twins

[@carolkegel7599]

Yes but Khayman slept for millennium untill Akasha woke

[@johnfinch621]

He also is the one who turned the twins if im not mistaken. And created a ton of vampires in an attempt to overthrow akasha and enkil.

[@tracyh1999]

@@johnfinch621 ye because Akashi and a lil were crazy from that demon ghost creature that went inside them. I remember them saying something like they had to spread it out because too much in Akashi and ankil made there bloodlust insatiable

[@RoxyinLV]

I love that you have these series! I love even more that as much as I love to read Anne Rice I don’t have to reread the entire book series to enjoy them again. One of the big things about the movies that I could not stand was that they made the actors in the movies so old. They also did not fit many of the descriptions in the book which was frustrating. In particular, Marius, Armand & Lestat in Queen of the Damned.

No worries. I know the feeling of burn out just a bit on reading. But yeah, like I said before, he’s still my favorite. Since Blood and Gold gave more details on his life. And yeah, it felt much on his life. Also, he is also mention within the Pandora story too. Don’t worry, if you read Pandora by the time you get to her story, she mention of hearing about him and meeting him after that. In which, it’s a different telling on her side of the story.

I liked that the movie Marius looked like a Roman senator. If he’s 2,000 yrs. Then he turned during the Roman Empire.

That's probably why he is named "Marius de Romanus". He was "of Rome". His father was Roman and his mother was a Gaul.

Finished reading Blood and Gold: i felt a bit sorry for Bianca. As much as i like Marius, it was clear he thought of her as a convenience. When she heard his conversation with Pandora and his intent to abandon Bianca....well, let's just say, I felt this was a tiresomely pitiful way to treat her. Wonder what happened to her? I'm guessing that Akasha killed her during her purge, if she survived that long. Also, was not a fan of Anne killing off Santino. Would have enjoyed a book about his life, too.
