What frustrates me the most is that they could have portrayed Marie Laveau in this show without disrespecting the real historical counterpart. They could have had a backstory where Marie made a deal with Papa Legba to ensure that all slaves in the United States were granted freedom in exchange to do Papa Legba's bidding on earth for all eternity. Or something like that. No sacrificing babies. No hating whites who believed in equality. No torturing and killing people out of revenge. Just something that simple that the real Marie might have actually done if she had the power to.

They could have given her character development here in the fact that the cruelty and injustice has made her weary, where when Coven starts all she wants to do is rest. That way she could have given insight about Papa Legba (which might have let Coven show more supernatural beings) and served as a voice of reason and compassion like how the show depicted Cordelia. They could have even based the entire show on Marie and how Marie is the strongest Supreme and needs someone to take her place, but she has to choose someone responsible enough to handle it. She could have also been a counterpart to Fiona's corruption, where the girls admitted into Fiona's school are eventually given a choice to leave and join Marie.

I know these ideas aren't all great. But there's so much they could have done with her that it's disappointing.

But AHS has always focused on awful people in some way or another, so it was pretty obvious from the start they weren't going to change that even if the were using the name of someone who did a lot of good in her life.

Expecting something else that the trainwreck with a train full of awful people that has always been AHS is setting yourself to be disappointed.
