The Real Reason Akasha Chose Lestat As King Of The Damned

Ever wonder what the REAL reason was behind Akasha choosing Lestat as her new King of The Damned? Check out todays video to find out

I'd argue the only good things in the Queen of the Damned movie are: 1) Aaliyah's acting was great, 2) the sound track slaps, 3) the 00s Goth aesthetic is such a vibe. 😅

So basically she didn't want no simp she wanted a rebel bad boy rock star.

I hope the new series follows this, it already corrected the Magnus/Marius creator story, so that gives me hope. Aaliyah deserved better.

Lestat was the perfect embodiment of the many flaws in men. He was offensive but also was the perfect sounding board against the many things that she wanted to wipe out and correct in her new world.

I do think Akasha was kind of a villain. At least in the books by the way she tortured and killed the twins. If she didn't do that then the blood demon wouldn't have drank her blood and entered her body in the first place

I needed a Enkil alive in the today story. As broken as Enkil was, that is a very interesting story. Anne Rice created a amazing world, i wish she could have did more before her passing.

I have to disagree respectfully with her not being a villain. She ordered the violation of the twins after they displeased her before she became a vampire and had them mutilated. She was a horrible queen before becoming an immortal.
With that said she’s an amazing and complex character, but still evil.

[ScottieGray-ct]

Lestat was a daring vampire. He wanted to change the world rather than tolerate it.

Even though aaliyah was outstanding as akasha the movie didnt do a good job on her story I can't wait for season 3 of interview with the vampire and see who will play akasha this time

REST IN PARADISE BEAUTIFUL AALIYAH 😔💔❤️‍🩹

[bobblehead]

Nah, Akasha's not a villain at all. I mean, she only:

- Had the twins publicly raped and banished because the spirits they communicated with told her to fuck off and then later on had Margaret's eyes and Mekare's tongue ripped out.
-Made Khayman a vampire against his will.
-Trapped Marius in ice after he protected and took care of her for 2, 000 years.
-Killed a metric fuckton of vampires except for a select seventeen because they were either Lestat's loved ones or ancient vampires that could block their thoughts so she couldn't find them.
-Wanted to kill off 99% of the male population
-Basically tells everyone "join me or die" (yes I know in the movie she actually says it, but it's implied in the books)

But, that doesn't make her a villain or evil or anything. Pfffft

[amatije]

Ok, you convinced me... I'll read the books again.
Oh and I always loved your Vampire Chronicles series the best.Thank you for all your hard work on this! 🧛

[laughingvampire]

No, in the books Marius didn't worship Akasha, he knew all the time that both of them were dangerous to him and to everyone else, vampires and human alike, Marius knew that he was being protected by Akasha only because he was protecting Akasha and Marius did it only because he didn't want to die, that is why Marius called him "those that must be kept" they most be kept, not worshiped, not reverend, kept.

[PerfectlyImperfect]

No reason other than he’s the main character for the rest of the story and he’s a Gary Stu.

'I have the blood of Magnus in me.'

'I have the blood of Akasha in me.'

Lestat to Louis and Armand

Interview With The Vampire

Season 2 Episode 8 (2024)

[peeweemaroske]

I'm still waiting for your video on Michael Corvin from the Underworld Franchise and a video on his relationship with Selene. A video on Kraven as well.

[tytybaby]

I swear the queen needs her own show or movie trilogy!!

[TheKos]

I always enjoy your videos ..especially while reading the books gives me good info .

[sjones]

How do we know Enkil couldn’t be revived? The heart and brain were intact. He lost a lot of blood. The only way to kill permanently would be to cut off his head. Someone could have hooked him up to IV bags of blood.

Also I hate that Marius just left Enkils body buried in the snow. This is the King of the Damn. He deserved a proper funeral and the body wrapped like a mummy and put in a ornate coffin. Not just left in the cold ground.

[cocoaswann]

One of the many sad/icky things about the QOTD movie was the actor who portrayed Marius. Literally, did they NOT read the books? The attitude was ok, but for real, he's supposed to look more like Lestat's uncle or dad...or perhaps like Lucius Malfoy.
Loved Aaliyah's portrayal, even tho it was one-dimensional.
