I'm also pretty certain he's not a boyfriend, he's a platonic best friend, because there's dialogue indicating that he's gay (and this is the subtext of why he's so upset and unhappy she's leaving him behind in their small town)

The fact that she turned out to be trans and into girls may be some subtext for why his attachment to her is all clingy and emotionally fraught

In terms of the AITA post POV on this movie, blowing him off after he said he'd already purchased a ticket and everything was pretty harsh Ironically she probably wouldn't have felt it was necessary if she were a healthy vampire who was feeding regularly

yeah see this is where I part ways with Laurel ideologically, I'd be all like "a cop a day keeps the blood frenzy away"

I get that she's more idealistic and is like "being a vampire is hierarchal, I can't be a part of a hierarchy", but I'd be more like "uh I should be dismantling fascism before I start handing out immortality"

The movie doesn't give a lot of time or credence to Dracula's POV but his excuse that he used to be a nice guy but got bored with it after a millennium kind of does ring true with how Duke is running things

We don't exactly know why the First Bride made the fairly obviously suicidal decision to bring Vlad back - part of it was maybe true love or petty vengeance - but part of it seems to be this nihilistic conviction that Duke is just as full of shit and nothing will actually change

I thought Ellie would resonate with their final conversation "Why are you still pretending to be a teenager?" "I never got to be one the first time around!" "Grow up!"

Yeah, but i was on Duke's side there. I feel like both the First Bride and Duke were on close to equivalent moral footing

Well yeah, Duke may have done all these bad things but you can totally see why she'd feel entitled to do them
