Lestat Question

Did Marius Change Lestat?

I know this sounds really bad but, I never had a chance to read the books cause i've been REALLY busy. I finally have a chance now.(Interview with the vampire but i haven't gotten far cause i started yesterday)
I watched the movies and loved lestat, but the movies say Marius changed him but some people say that someone else did.

Curiosity is getting the better of me.LOL

Well I hate to give away *spoilers* but, oh what the hell... NO!!! Marius did NOT change Lestat! I won't say who did though, you will just have to read the book:P It's all in The Vampire Lestat, which is all about how Lestat became the vampire he is:)

And by the way I'm not yelling at you, I just really hated that little alteration that was made for the movie, it just pissed me off. I hated the movie Queen of the Damned, probably because I love the books, and the movie version just plain outright sucked. In the books Marius did make someone (of course I'm not going to say who^^)since I hate to give away spoilers, that info is also found in The Vampire Lestat, and also in Blood and Gold, and in The Vamipre Armand.

No, he didn't, and that film's Marius isn't the books's Marius anyway. Meaning, not much in common with him in characteristics. They made him a bizzare combination of himself and Magnus, the vampire who actually made Lestat in the books.

The real Marius would never attack Lestat that way and never ditch him the way the film's Marius does. And he would never deliberately avoid Lestat's company for a selfish reason.

However, the real Marius does feel affection for Lestat, and protect his life, and he is a teacher and a father-figure to Lestat. Those terms they got right.

So, no Marius did not turn Lestat - but to a very far extent, link. The film just didn't show why and how.
