Thank you Kate Beckinsale for not only giving life to this character but for making her a legend in vampire folklore she is one of the ultimate badasses besides Blade. I would love a comic of Selene crossing over into both DC & Marvel but that will never happen it's just wishful thinking on my end.

Actually I think Kate Beckinsale would be great as John Wick villain. I mean she has a lot of experience in action movies and she's British. What else do you need
Ill never forget her first moment when sunlight touches her skin. I was crying. They love to put our girl through it! Also, that didnt like like her shoulder bub, lol. That went like right through her whole torso !
I absolutely love these movies. This was the first time i ever saw Bill Nighy in anything, and i was HOOKED forevermore ❤ he is my favorite actor, i love him in everything. He is so phenomenal.
I believe there is a chance Michael can still be revived as Victor was in the first movie. Everyone believed him dead, but Lycans may not be aware of the process the elders used to "leap-frog" through time. But I do see the series at an end (for now) and that may never come to pass.
Vampires can be imprisoned be it by choice like the Elders or by force as punishment for misdeeds thru desecation which can be achieved by either draining all the Blood from their Bodies or by preventing them from getting more Human Blood both leading to the same painfull but NOT deadly result of desecation. If the Lycan has really done it exactly the way Selene saw it and just threw out the Body then Michael is 100% still alive all tho unable to move or Speak but he can be brought back by simply supplying him with Blood. On the other hand if the Lycan dysected him after draining all the Blood then he is fully dead there is no coming back from that since the only reason Vampires survive wounds Humans can't is because of their insane healing Factor which is soley powered by Human Blood consumption.
@@Frankenstein_ I do assume that Michael was drained of his blood as would be the logical progression of events from Marius's plans.

Hate to say it but I think this franchise is over. The actor who played Michael didn’t want to come back to the franchise after the 2nd movie and thats why they killed him off. I love this franchise but its just kinda dead sadly.

I think Marcus could've also have survived sunlight, but wasn't sure of it. It was long thought that Selene was a vampire/immortal hybrid when she took Alexander's blood, and made David one. But that has been dropped and they're both still pure vampires but stronger. There is an anime short film of Blood War where she's hunting 3 lycan brothers. Kate Beckinsale did say she would reprise her role if a 6th film was underway; if so then Michael should return having survied. He did survived being impaled by Marcus, so blood loss should've healed. David did say in Awakening the elders betrayed her fist, so their downfall was rightful retribution for their own sins. Therefore, hunting her, then pardoning was for nothing. The vampires should've left her alone, regardless of Victor's and Marcus's ranks. They had it coming. Personally now, I think the 2 races should try to make peace since Victor was the one who started the war and betrayed his whole race, is dead. And there has been nothing but death and carnage for both of them. If they want to continue until one is left standing or none at all...then this is gonna go on forever. Peace is the only way to stop it, it maybe hard to do, but its always a working progress.
I like wat ur saying but the only problem with that is that they confirm in blood wars that micheal is 100% dead because the villain of that film found him, killed him and then basically took every bit of him that he can to make himself stronger until there was literally nothing left of Michael but a vile of blood. So unfortunately he got the worst treatment in these films
@@JNamikaze98Micheal was drained that shouldn’t kill him since there was Marcus and victor who literally got sleeped for centuries and dried up and was able to come back after they getting blood
@@JNamikaze98 yeah but at the end of it, she learns that Michael is still around. The villain only bled him dry. But we won't ever really see him since the actor doesn't really wanna play him anymore.
Would love to see a prequel trilogy/TV series that explores Selene's life before the movies during the later lycan war! From being freshly turned to making the leap into the first movie!
Yeah, it sucks I wanted to see him become one of the most powerful hybrids ever existed & they kill the franchise by killing him off way too early. Selene's story has been told we now would've followed Michael's journey into a new world as a creature of the night he would've used his skills as up & coming doctor or nurse in his human life to help both species. He would've been the Carlisle Cullen of the vampires & lycans of course he & Selene would've faced other threats & prejudices from both sides because some fear Michael since he is a hybrid a very powerful one at that. Michael grows more confident as his powers grow & is trained by Selene later on we would learn that Michael isn't the only hybrid in existence there are others they were just in hiding they decide to form their own clan & want Michael to join them but he refuses his place & heart is by Selene's side along with their child Eve. Then there's lycans who are now immune to silver thanks to Jacob & his experiments also Quint wasn't the only uber lycan to be created & that's not their only problem Semira is still alive think back when Lucian put a sword in Viktor's brain it wasn't a fatal strike to kill him. The same happens with Semira when David puts a sword in her brain she survives & returns not only for revenge against Selene for killing the elder Viktor, for David for killing her but to once again rule over the covens. She's pretty much the female version of Kraven Selene & Michael have another child this time even more powerful hybrid thanks to not only Michael being a hybrid but also to Selene who was taken to the scared world their child is a boy whom they named after Selene's father & Michael's forefather Alexander Corvinus I'm just throwing ideas out for the franchise.
@@angelaholmes8888It's possible that he survived. Given that he has risen from the dead before. That's why I'm still praying 🙏 3 times a day for an Underworld 6 with Scott Speedman and Kate Beckinsale back as Michael Corvin and Selene one last time, giving their characters the happy ending they deserve and a proper conclusion to the Underworld Franchise.
Omg true...i would love this. Queen of the damned Lestat is so sexy and i really love the movie. Beside Underworld it's one of the best Vampire movie but i also love the Anne Rice books
I love your videos. You’re one of my top favorite, TH-cam channels that I watch constantly awaiting every new video of you. I hope to meet you someday because you’re an amazing person and your videos are awesome. I’ve never found any TH-cam channel more amazing, in terms of vampires and werewolves mythology. You amaze me like so much I love your details and everything you do shows how much you have a passion for these kinds of videos, and I don’t know anything about news on a upcoming underworld movie, but something tells me that they won’t be making another one and Kate Beckinsale is done with the Underworld movies I haven’t heard anything or have seen anything about a upcoming movie, but something tells me they might try to reboot the series with new characters or actors and actresses portraying them, and probably changing the storyline which I would hate for them to do but I have a feeling they might do that, instead of creating the next chapter in the franchise!!!!
Great video! My dream scenario for final of the Underworld saga would be if Eve found Michael, resurrected him with her hybrid blood and then he becomes new lycan leader who finally makes a pece with vampires after reuniting with Selene. Whereas the final antagonist of the series would be Alexander Corvinus's third son who remained hidden all those centuries and waited until both races weaken themselves enought to finish off both of them so they have to cooperate against him to survive. The final battle would include: Selene, Michael, Eve, David and eventually Varga and vampires from the north. After it the Corvin family would be finally reunited in peace.... Let me know what you think about this scenario
Selene is probably my second favorite Vampire hunter/ fighter after Blade of course like she's so awesome and NGL I thought they were trying to set Selene up with David after Micahel had been out of the picture for so long ( only because Scott Speedman refused to come back) I was like nah don't make Selene and David a thing it's too soon but by blood wars it's clear they just have a very close friendship
I saw an interview with Scott Speedman years ago where he said he was never invited back and that he didn't know why. The movies just aren't the same without him.
@@matthiascerebri3315if going by blood wars technically yes the things she can do without having any weaknesses is insane her strength is probably higher then the blade vampire especially thanks to Alexander’s blood. Add on the fact she is 600 years old and trained to kill from viktor mind you who was known to be beyond ruthless and she had a higher kill rate for lycans as a death dealer. Don’t get me wrong I love blade it would be an epic battle between the 2 but Selene is on another level.
@@roderick8167 Scott Speedman himself said last year for the 20th anniversary of Underworld 1 that he's still up for another Underworld movie. If it's a big and important role. He's all in. Because he loves his character Michael Corvin. Finds Michael cool and interesting. He wouldn't mind doing a movie about him. Exploring his story. Since we can't really do anything more with Selene. Aside from her reuniting with Michael and possibly becoming his wife. I like Scott's idea. Give him his own movie. Just like how they made Lucian his own movie. We can give him an upgrade. There's not much to upgrade him on. But the one we can upgrade is his healing factor. A healing factor on par with an anime character called Kuro Sakuragawa from In/Spectre. The guy can heal from anything. If anything gets cut off. It will just reattach back to his body. If the body part gets cut off it gets eaten. He just grows a replacement in seconds. If you give Michael Corvin this kind of healing factor. Nothing can kill him. Since Selene became a new Vampire Elder. Why not have Michael be the new leader of the Lycans?
I wish they’d have recast Michael rather than write the character out. Don’t get me wrong though I loved Speedman I just had a hard time believing his characters 28:35 fate in the movies.
Kate Beckinsale did say she ould repraise her role if there's to b a 6th film. If so, then Michael should live, since he did survived being impaled. Blood loss should've healed too.
For what I know and I remember… Speedman wasn’t recast as Michael because Len Wiseman (director of the first 2 movies and husband of Kate at the time) was jealous of the chemistry between Kate and Scott 🥴 It’s a shame because I really liked the two together, it would have been a great companionship and storyline for the upcoming movies (personal opinion)
@@cotevallejos7230that doesn’t really matter anymore since they are not married anymore I would be happy if they did a 6th film making it the last but if Scott doesn’t want to come back recast him. You can easily bring Micheal back.
When I hear your voice I keep expecting you to talk about Harry Potter, it's just strange hearing you talk about Vampires and Werewolves but your doing a wonderful job of it.
Such a pity about that poor Michael dies, off all of the rotten, double-dealing, back-stabbing, traitorous and just plain nasty characters in Underworld, he was one of the few who did not deserve ANY of what either happened to or was done to him. Plus I am a secret romantic and a true sucker for a happily-ever-after end to any book, film, video, game, life etc. Also really, really sucks that poor Eve will never get the chance to truly meet her father, rather than just seeing him as an upside down icicle as per Evolution fame. Also wonder if there will ever be even a brief update on what happened to the vamps and it came after they withdrew from the coven and new Elders were chosen. All that aside, I thought you did an excellent job with basically telling Seline's whole TRUE story, and not the deal that Victor convinced her of after he turned her. Well done and kudos to you going man! Christ, now I feel old, lol, calling a bloke "young man"! Lmao!!! Not even 50 yet and I already sound like a grandmother!!! (Cue hysterically insane laughter and cackles)
Fun fact the young actress who played Selene as a little girl is actually Kate Beckinsale's daughter Lilly who she had when she was with co star Micheal Sheen yes the man who ended up playing Lucian in the first UW movie and prequel based on him.
Something that always bugged me; David is not a pure blood, because Amelia never was one. She was just the 2nd (after Viktor) turned by Markus. Markus was the only ever "pure blood" vampire. William the only ever "pure blood" werewolf.
Actually David would be the first pure blood regardless if Amelia was turned or not because both of his parents were vampires like technically eve is a pure born as well only David and eve are ones. Eve may be a hybrid however she was born not turned like Micheal. In this pure born means born not turned that is what they mean by it. While Amelia was turned she didn’t turn David he was a natural born.
@@Mcherri you make a good point. So i should change what I said. I guess what always bugged me, then, is when Viktor and Amelia are called 'pure bloods'. Because, as you said, they were both turned, and not born vampires.
@@chrisi621 exactly only David and Eve are the only pure ones to exist so it’s possible to for these vamps to procreate it just may be harder for vampires then lycans that’s why Selene got pregnant easily because she is a hybrid along with Micheal. Plus it’s a virus that’s makes them immortal so all their parts should still be working so to speak they aren’t technically dead like the vampires from the vampire diaries.
Few years ago, I made this fanfic where the reason why selene looked like Sonja was because Sonja is selene‘s mother who had given up the child to a couple that wanted children in order to protect her child and years later Victor had hired the father to build him the fortress, because Sonja had told him that he was the best of the best in his field.
@@orianadodcefa7442 That makes zero sense because that would require selene to be a born vampire which she isn't. We already know her family's history.
What” about her daughter though ‘you could make a whole movie on her plus the young actress was soo good she can hold her own… Kate is the best lady vampire on screen now no one can touch her ever!!!!
I never watched the last Underworld movie, but I’m seeing a lot of Game of Thrones actors. Tywin Lannister, Sam’s dad, and Edmund Tully just to name a few
You think Micheal had it bad? I give to you Chief Miles Edward O'Brian. I named one of my favourite rifles after Selene. It looks good in leather, is extremely powerful for it's size, and has a similar effectiveness.
I am not subscribed to this channel and I am very certain I’ve never watched a video of yours before but you sound SUPER familiar. I know I’ve heard your face before. It’s super weird. 🤔
Kate Beckinsale is such a babe. Whoever played Sonja (Viktor's daughter = total babe too) Same with OG Amelia in first film and the other actress who played the one in Rise of Lycans. they really know how to pick the women in this franchise. SAME with the Nordic Coven (lead female Vampiress of the Coven, idk her name or actress but she was also a babe) damn.
I've never seen any of these movies as it's not really my bag BUT did they ever explain why both are weakened by silver? I'm just curious as I know that's the real mythology.
Michels story was the damsel in distress trop flipped- but men watching wouldn’t allow anything less then being shot to ‘stop him’ lol.. I hate how they tried his character as a red hairing only for him to be killed by some random. Saline deserved better. And I could never hate the lycans as they were fighting for a place i the world - hunted for centuries for just being. I wish Saline has said ‘we are not enemies’.. because she was still carrying out Victors mission- even though the vampires where losing be the end of it. So many missed opportunities.
For them to create Michael, and deem him to be the most powerful of the cross breeds, all I did was use him for target practice. It was very disappointing.
and a minute later, Lucien is NOT the first lycan... edit: he was the "first" one to be able to control his transformation between human and werewolf form.
@@drewskiwest5284 William is the first WEREWOLF, Lucian is the first LYCAN. Lycans are a mutated/subspecies of werewolf that can shift at will. werewolves on the other hand, once shifted, will not become human again until they die.
@@VelvetCake423 pretty sure I mentioned that. William and Marcus descended from the first true immortal human. The legend went that he had two sons; 1 bitten by bat, 1 bitten by wolf. William is forced to stay in his werewolf form forever and constantly hungry and like a virus he's continually trying to spread his virus, since those he bites turn into feral werewolves that never turn back. Marcus was bitten by bat and since he also carried the immortal gene same as William and their father, he became the first and strongest vampire. But what is confusing with him is whether or not he was able to transform into his advanced vampire form with the wings (which seems to have only happened after he was awakened by the lycan scientists blood while he was asleep). It was never said whether he could change like that prior. Then Michael had the human immortal recessive gene that could make him a proper hybrid -- which was Lucians goal since Viktor violently denied the existence of the birth of his daughter Sonia and Lucians baby... which could have been an extremely powerful hybrid that we never got to see until Scott Speedman was taken out of the films... alleged he's alive but never seen and then we meet Marius when Selene has shown to be able to revive David after the massive lycan from the biotechnology company in the future masquerade as humans. Then humans went on to hunt down both lycans and vamps. This was in the icy northern covern. She discovers Marius can only perform a hybrid transformation by drinkin tidbits of Michael's blood which is assumed they captured him and drained him dry... which sucks. They should have kept Scott Speedman he was 100% perfect for the series and idk why they didn't work out. As for Lucian, as far as I remember his mother was human and pregnant and then she died to a werewolf bite / attacked that led to giving birth prematurely that allowed Lucian to change back and forth. Corvinus watched his sons through history and obtained his mystery wealth somehow and would hire essentially a black special forces team to cover up their fights and what not. At any rate, after Marcus was woken by the lycan scientists blood he was able to grow wings and fly and turn into that hybridridized back skinned version of vampire dominant form since he was already vampire vs Michael being bitten by Lucian and later by Selene. He was werewolf dominant hybrid which is why he would begin transforming into a wolf then compacted in for more agility and had claws and fangs. You'd think a true hybrid like the one that would have been by Sonia could beat Micahel and Marcus and Wiliam simultaneously by being a pureblood hybrid since he would have been able to have winged lycan transformation from birth and mastered it with the death dealers if not for Viktor being ridiculous. At any rate I thought once the first vampire (Marcus) died ALL vampires under him would also die as is the tradition and story of all other vampire tales.... Anyway. Selene gets boosted multiple times 1. Turned into a vampire by Viktor 2. Trained and successful death dealer for centuries 3. After tracking down Tanis and finding Alexander Corvinus he gave her his blood which made her stronger, faster, and able to stand in the UV light. 4. That outfit is a blessing for all. So super power up for that 5. Northern icy Coven were performing some kind of death or near death ritual by wrapping and submerging into freezing water. 6. She doesn't do it at first but 3/4 fight with Marius when she learns he dank the last drop of Michael's blood she slid into the icy waters and came back with ultra speed transformation.... with that hot white streak of hair and all. Idk how strong her daughter is that was in the previous movie and didn't show up in the last one that was released but she's a hybrid like Michael was. So as far as the lore goes, Selene is supposed to be THE strongest immortal currently alive as a vampire dominant true immortal hybrid. Not a vamp-lycam hybrid. She used her true Alex.C immortality power up gave her the ability to resurrect both Michael during her fight at Williams tomv after Marcus had overpowered him and impaled his hand and heart Then next movie in timeline she brings back the son of one of the 3 top vampire elders, forgot her name but I wish we saw more of her, she was also gorgeous. But the mutant mega giant lycan came to the hidden vamp coven and slaughtered almost all including David. Took selenes daughter. When she was blamed for David's death she brought him back to life with Alex C immortality boost which I'm sure remained in him. At any rate idk what you are trying to correct. Based on my post from 3 months ago it seems I was annoyed by the 99% likelihood of an AI narration and if it's not AI then it's poorly written and wrongly said; hence the correction of the name "It's KRAVEN NOT RAVEN"
If Selene was mourning the near extinction of the Lycan race, she was probably overjoyed to find a few hundred of them living in the metropolitan train system.
I really hate that Michael was killed off off screen, not that the production team did it, but because of how it affects Selene's story. Selene kills her "adoptive father" (cause he killed hers) for Michael who was just going to die in a few scant years (to an immortal) anyway. Also, other than David no one in that damn 4th film had any charisma besides Selene, with the Werewolf guys being completely awful (I've seen better acting in porn). If Michael had to die I wish it had meant something - like something that would haunt Selene going forward.
Selene is the most powerful Vampire in the Underworld Franchise. Capable of killing any Vampire in the Underworld Franchise. But how do you think she would go in a fight to the death against Drake from Blade: Trinity and Stefan Salvatore from The Originals?
but is Michael really dead? he bled out in evolution, maybe it just takes longer to regenerate since Marius drained him dry also Lucian could've revive as well since he took in some of Michael's blood before his death
Didn't selene try to revive michael after she had drank Alexander's blood and thats what helped him, i would of love to have seen a movie about Alexander and it end with the construction of the secret dungeon and William's capture
11:18 sry but no, she doesn't learn what the pendant means until that track down Tanis... who was in "Exile" but was actually being guarded by lycan slaves of old who could never take human form with vampire women to entertain his "exile" - he was also an engineer; the one creating the UV bullets... its like you didn't watch the movie and had an AI write this script and narrate it.... come on. i'm only 1/3 in and im getting tired of correcting you
Thank you Kate Beckinsale for not only giving life to this character but for making her a legend in vampire folklore she is one of the ultimate badasses besides Blade. I would love a comic of Selene crossing over into both DC & Marvel but that will never happen it's just wishful thinking on my end.

Therefore, hunting her, then pardoning was for nothing. The vampires should've left her alone, regardless of Victor's and Marcus's ranks. They had it coming. Personally now, I think the 2 races should try to make peace since Victor was the one who started the war and betrayed his whole race, is dead. And there has been nothing but death and carnage for both of them. If they want to continue until one is left standing or none at all...then this is gonna go on forever. Peace is the only way to stop it, it maybe hard to do, but its always a working progress.
I like wat ur saying but the only problem with that is that they confirm in blood wars that micheal is 100% dead because the villain of that film found him, killed him and then basically took every bit of him that he can to make himself stronger until there was literally nothing left of Michael but a vile of blood. So unfortunately he got the worst treatment in these films
The anime I said is called "Endless War". If I edit to correct I'll lose the love emoji.
@@JNamikaze98Micheal was drained that shouldn’t kill him since there was Marcus and victor who literally got sleeped for centuries and dried up and was able to come back after they getting blood
@@JNamikaze98Michael is part vampire
@@JNamikaze98 yeah but at the end of it, she learns that Michael is still around. The villain only bled him dry. But we won't ever really see him since the actor doesn't really wanna play him anymore.
Would love to see a prequel trilogy/TV series that explores Selene's life before the movies during the later lycan war! From being freshly turned to making the leap into the first movie!
Or tell a new story with different/new characters about vampires and Lycans in America.
you are such a weeb
Especially if Selene would be played by Kate's daughter Lilly
Incredible video
Selene the badass of the underworld..poor Michael though something horrible forever happening to him
Yeah, it sucks I wanted to see him become one of the most powerful hybrids ever existed & they kill the franchise by killing him off way too early. Selene's story has been told we now would've followed Michael's journey into a new world as a creature of the night he would've used his skills as up & coming doctor or nurse in his human life to help both species. He would've been the Carlisle Cullen of the vampires & lycans of course he & Selene would've faced other threats & prejudices from both sides because some fear Michael since he is a hybrid a very powerful one at that. Michael grows more confident as his powers grow & is trained by Selene later on we would learn that Michael isn't the only hybrid in existence there are others they were just in hiding they decide to form their own clan & want Michael to join them but he refuses his place & heart is by Selene's side along with their child Eve. Then there's lycans who are now immune to silver thanks to Jacob & his experiments also Quint wasn't the only uber lycan to be created & that's not their only problem Semira is still alive think back when Lucian put a sword in Viktor's brain it wasn't a fatal strike to kill him. The same happens with Semira when David puts a sword in her brain she survives & returns not only for revenge against Selene for killing the elder Viktor, for David for killing her but to once again rule over the covens. She's pretty much the female version of Kraven Selene & Michael have another child this time even more powerful hybrid thanks to not only Michael being a hybrid but also to Selene who was taken to the scared world their child is a boy whom they named after Selene's father & Michael's forefather Alexander Corvinus I'm just throwing ideas out for the franchise.
Yeah Michael had so much potential
@@angelaholmes8888It's possible that he survived. Given that he has risen from the dead before.
That's why I'm still praying 🙏 3 times a day for an Underworld 6 with Scott Speedman and Kate Beckinsale back as Michael Corvin and Selene one last time, giving their characters the happy ending they deserve and a proper conclusion to the Underworld Franchise.
I really enjoyed this, thank you for making it
We need a Selene/Anne Rice Lestat crossover. Their interaction would be epic
Omg true...i would love this. Queen of the damned Lestat is so sexy and i really love the movie. Beside Underworld it's one of the best Vampire movie but i also love the Anne Rice books
I love your videos. You’re one of my top favorite, TH-cam channels that I watch constantly awaiting every new video of you. I hope to meet you someday because you’re an amazing person and your videos are awesome. I’ve never found any TH-cam channel more amazing, in terms of vampires and werewolves mythology. You amaze me like so much I love your details and everything you do shows how much you have a passion for these kinds of videos, and I don’t know anything about news on a upcoming underworld movie, but something tells me that they won’t be making another one and Kate Beckinsale is done with the Underworld movies I haven’t heard anything or have seen anything about a upcoming movie, but something tells me they might try to reboot the series with new characters or actors and actresses portraying them, and probably changing the storyline which I would hate for them to do but I have a feeling they might do that, instead of creating the next chapter in the franchise!!!!
That comment means the absolute world to me. I cant tell you how much these comments keep me going.
@@VampireFolkloreVideos I am so happy 😁 to see you say that!!!!
I read Bram Stoker's Dracula and watched Castlevania, TVD and Twilight. I have never seen something like this before. ❤
I love this saga of her .I always wait for the movie to come to watch good old times
Great video!
My dream scenario for final of the Underworld saga would be if Eve found Michael, resurrected him with her hybrid blood and then he becomes new lycan leader who finally makes a pece with vampires after reuniting with Selene. Whereas the final antagonist of the series would be Alexander Corvinus's third son who remained hidden all those centuries and waited until both races weaken themselves enought to finish off both of them so they have to cooperate against him to survive. The final battle would include: Selene, Michael, Eve, David and eventually Varga and vampires from the north. After it the Corvin family would be finally reunited in peace....
Let me know what you think about this scenario
Selene is probably my second favorite Vampire hunter/ fighter after Blade of course like she's so awesome and NGL I thought they were trying to set Selene up with David after Micahel had been out of the picture for so long ( only because Scott Speedman refused to come back) I was like nah don't make Selene and David a thing it's too soon but by blood wars it's clear they just have a very close friendship
I saw an interview with Scott Speedman years ago where he said he was never invited back and that he didn't know why. The movies just aren't the same without him.
@@Nasuada15 wait for real , damn this sucks
Would she be more powerful than Blade?
@@matthiascerebri3315if going by blood wars technically yes the things she can do without having any weaknesses is insane her strength is probably higher then the blade vampire especially thanks to Alexander’s blood. Add on the fact she is 600 years old and trained to kill from viktor mind you who was known to be beyond ruthless and she had a higher kill rate for lycans as a death dealer. Don’t get me wrong I love blade it would be an epic battle between the 2 but Selene is on another level.
@@roderick8167 Scott Speedman himself said last year for the 20th anniversary of Underworld 1 that he's still up for another Underworld movie. If it's a big and important role. He's all in. Because he loves his character Michael Corvin. Finds Michael cool and interesting. He wouldn't mind doing a movie about him. Exploring his story. Since we can't really do anything more with Selene. Aside from her reuniting with Michael and possibly becoming his wife.
I like Scott's idea. Give him his own movie. Just like how they made Lucian his own movie. We can give him an upgrade. There's not much to upgrade him on. But the one we can upgrade is his healing factor. A healing factor on par with an anime character called Kuro Sakuragawa from In/Spectre. The guy can heal from anything.
If anything gets cut off. It will just reattach back to his body. If the body part gets cut off it gets eaten. He just grows a replacement in seconds. If you give Michael Corvin this kind of healing factor. Nothing can kill him. Since Selene became a new Vampire Elder. Why not have Michael be the new leader of the Lycans?
the tumbnail for this is perfectly done
thank you. I've been working hard on my thumbnails lately
Yeah it is 💯
I wish they’d have recast Michael rather than write the character out. Don’t get me wrong though I loved Speedman I just had a hard time believing his characters 28:35 fate in the movies.
Kate Beckinsale did say she ould repraise her role if there's to b a 6th film. If so, then Michael should live, since he did survived being impaled. Blood loss should've healed too.
For what I know and I remember… Speedman wasn’t recast as Michael because Len Wiseman (director of the first 2 movies and husband of Kate at the time) was jealous of the chemistry between Kate and Scott 🥴 It’s a shame because I really liked the two together, it would have been a great companionship and storyline for the upcoming movies (personal opinion)
@@cotevallejos7230that doesn’t really matter anymore since they are not married anymore I would be happy if they did a 6th film making it the last but if Scott doesn’t want to come back recast him. You can easily bring Micheal back.
really wish they would dig more into the nordic tribe and what happened in the water! it would be an amazing folklore deep dive.
Excellent work
When I hear your voice I keep expecting you to talk about Harry Potter, it's just strange hearing you talk about Vampires and Werewolves but your doing a wonderful job of it.
I wish they had replaced the actor who played Michael instead of killing him off.
@@commonsense8710 They did recast him. Ana Forester wanted Michael Corvin to be gone. So he does not get in the way of her precious vagina power.
Amazing video! Keep up the great work!
Great video! Great narrative of the Queen herself!
Thank you kindly!
"David, please forgive me, but.... I had to get my hair done," - Selene hahahaha :-P
This series was amazing!
As a fan i want to see another underworld movie ❤
cracking video mate , top notch
Just subscribed, But love your stuff :)
There needs to be an Underworld-Blade crossover. It would be awesome to see Blade and Selene working together.
Brilliant, thank you
I 💜 The Underworld Movies!
Such a pity about that poor Michael dies, off all of the rotten, double-dealing, back-stabbing, traitorous and just plain nasty characters in Underworld, he was one of the few who did not deserve ANY of what either happened to or was done to him. Plus I am a secret romantic and a true sucker for a happily-ever-after end to any book, film, video, game, life etc. Also really, really sucks that poor Eve will never get the chance to truly meet her father, rather than just seeing him as an upside down icicle as per Evolution fame. Also wonder if there will ever be even a brief update on what happened to the vamps and it came after they withdrew from the coven and new Elders were chosen. All that aside, I thought you did an excellent job with basically telling Seline's whole TRUE story, and not the deal that Victor convinced her of after he turned her. Well done and kudos to you going man! Christ, now I feel old, lol, calling a bloke "young man"! Lmao!!! Not even 50 yet and I already sound like a grandmother!!! (Cue hysterically insane laughter and cackles)
Fantastic video!❤❤
Good job! Continue 😊
Fun fact the young actress who played Selene as a little girl is actually Kate Beckinsale's daughter Lilly who she had when she was with co star Micheal Sheen yes the man who ended up playing Lucian in the first UW movie and prequel based on him.
I’m late but very happy I came, excellent video 👌
That scene were she puts his own tail spike through his head, then shoves him into the propeller blades. It was like a mortal kombat fatality lol.
Would be good if there were to be another underworld movie with Selene, Michel & Eve.
They really need to finish this instead of leaving it where it is
Something that always bugged me; David is not a pure blood, because Amelia never was one. She was just the 2nd (after Viktor) turned by Markus. Markus was the only ever "pure blood" vampire. William the only ever "pure blood" werewolf.
Actually David would be the first pure blood regardless if Amelia was turned or not because both of his parents were vampires like technically eve is a pure born as well only David and eve are ones. Eve may be a hybrid however she was born not turned like Micheal. In this pure born means born not turned that is what they mean by it. While Amelia was turned she didn’t turn David he was a natural born.
@@Mcherri you make a good point. So i should change what I said. I guess what always bugged me, then, is when Viktor and Amelia are called 'pure bloods'. Because, as you said, they were both turned, and not born vampires.
@@chrisi621 exactly only David and Eve are the only pure ones to exist so it’s possible to for these vamps to procreate it just may be harder for vampires then lycans that’s why Selene got pregnant easily because she is a hybrid along with Micheal. Plus it’s a virus that’s makes them immortal so all their parts should still be working so to speak they aren’t technically dead like the vampires from the vampire diaries.
Great video.
I absolutely love selene she's my favorite character kate did a great job in the role I love her evolution in the films ❤🥰
For now it ended very well. Maybe thr last one wasn't as powerful as the others, but he'll it definitely gave Selene and Amelia even more lore.
Never understand why keys are made for containers that were never meant to be opened. It's a weakness in so many stories.
Few years ago, I made this fanfic where the reason why selene looked like Sonja was because Sonja is selene‘s mother who had given up the child to a couple that wanted children in order to protect her child and years later Victor had hired the father to build him the fortress, because Sonja had told him that he was the best of the best in his field.
How would she have hidden a pregnancy from Victor before her change? She couldn't hide anything from him after her change.
who the fuck is "sonja"?
@@Smokey420Greenleaf viktors daughter who he had killed because she breeded with Lucian
@@orianadodcefa7442 That makes zero sense because that would require selene to be a born vampire which she isn't. We already know her family's history.
Selene at the end of the last Underworld has become a Vampire Goddess(somewhat)!!!
Looooove Selene. ❤ she was so badass
Awesome!
Underworld selene is my favorite character she is so cool 😊😊
What” about her daughter though ‘you could make a whole movie on her plus the young actress was soo good she can hold her own… Kate is the best lady vampire on screen now no one can touch her ever!!!!
I never watched the last Underworld movie, but I’m seeing a lot of Game of Thrones actors. Tywin Lannister, Sam’s dad, and Edmund Tully just to name a few
Love Selene in the Underworld movies
Here to help the algorithm
You think Micheal had it bad? I give to you Chief Miles Edward O'Brian.
I named one of my favourite rifles after Selene. It looks good in leather, is extremely powerful for it's size, and has a similar effectiveness.
You've done a video on Selene and Eve. But what about Michael Corvin?
I am not subscribed to this channel and I am very certain I’ve never watched a video of yours before but you sound SUPER familiar. I know I’ve heard your face before. It’s super weird. 🤔
Kate Beckinsale is such a babe.
Whoever played Sonja (Viktor's daughter = total babe too)
Same with OG Amelia in first film and the other actress who played the one in Rise of Lycans.
they really know how to pick the women in this franchise.
SAME with the Nordic Coven (lead female Vampiress of the Coven, idk her name or actress but she was also a babe)
damn.
This has been said many times but the writing for this series blows twilight out of the water and a better love story .
I've never seen any of these movies as it's not really my bag BUT did they ever explain why both are weakened by silver? I'm just curious as I know that's the real mythology.
Cade a selene no sangue e dna e a correspondência encarnada aqui e agora ?
Michels story was the damsel in distress trop flipped- but men watching wouldn’t allow anything less then being shot to ‘stop him’ lol.. I hate how they tried his character as a red hairing only for him to be killed by some random. Saline deserved better. And I could never hate the lycans as they were fighting for a place i the world - hunted for centuries for just being. I wish Saline has said ‘we are not enemies’.. because she was still carrying out Victors mission- even though the vampires where losing be the end of it. So many missed opportunities.
Selene*
For them to create Michael, and deem him to be the most powerful of the cross breeds, all I did was use him for target practice. It was very disappointing.
Bad gal Selene🙆🏾♀️🌋. I love underworld as I do Resident Evil and Alice
Love selene.. Love underworld..
i hope they make a end to this series because i would like to see her find micheal again and with there kid
5:57 his name is KRAVEN not Raven.
and a minute later, Lucien is NOT the first lycan...
edit: he was the "first" one to be able to control his transformation between human and werewolf form.
@@drewskiwest5284 I said Kraven… Lucian is the first Lycan
@@VampireFolkloreVideos Lucian is the first Lycan...... willliam is first true werewolf what are you talkin bout.
for real??
@@drewskiwest5284 William is the first WEREWOLF, Lucian is the first LYCAN. Lycans are a mutated/subspecies of werewolf that can shift at will. werewolves on the other hand, once shifted, will not become human again until they die.
@@VelvetCake423 pretty sure I mentioned that.
William and Marcus descended from the first true immortal human. The legend went that he had two sons;
1 bitten by bat, 1 bitten by wolf.
William is forced to stay in his werewolf form forever and constantly hungry and like a virus he's continually trying to spread his virus, since those he bites turn into feral werewolves that never turn back.
Marcus was bitten by bat and since he also carried the immortal gene same as William and their father, he became the first and strongest vampire.
But what is confusing with him is whether or not he was able to transform into his advanced vampire form with the wings (which seems to have only happened after he was awakened by the lycan scientists blood while he was asleep). It was never said whether he could change like that prior.
Then Michael had the human immortal recessive gene that could make him a proper hybrid -- which was Lucians goal since Viktor violently denied the existence of the birth of his daughter Sonia and Lucians baby... which could have been an extremely powerful hybrid that we never got to see until Scott Speedman was taken out of the films... alleged he's alive but never seen and then we meet Marius when Selene has shown to be able to revive David after the massive lycan from the biotechnology company in the future masquerade as humans. Then humans went on to hunt down both lycans and vamps. This was in the icy northern covern. She discovers Marius can only perform a hybrid transformation by drinkin tidbits of Michael's blood which is assumed they captured him and drained him dry... which sucks. They should have kept Scott Speedman he was 100% perfect for the series and idk why they didn't work out.
As for Lucian, as far as I remember his mother was human and pregnant and then she died to a werewolf bite / attacked that led to giving birth prematurely that allowed Lucian to change back and forth.
Corvinus watched his sons through history and obtained his mystery wealth somehow and would hire essentially a black special forces team to cover up their fights and what not.
At any rate, after Marcus was woken by the lycan scientists blood he was able to grow wings and fly and turn into that hybridridized back skinned version of vampire dominant form since he was already vampire vs Michael being bitten by Lucian and later by Selene. He was werewolf dominant hybrid which is why he would begin transforming into a wolf then compacted in for more agility and had claws and fangs.
You'd think a true hybrid like the one that would have been by Sonia could beat Micahel and Marcus and Wiliam simultaneously by being a pureblood hybrid since he would have been able to have winged lycan transformation from birth and mastered it with the death dealers if not for Viktor being ridiculous.
At any rate I thought once the first vampire (Marcus) died ALL vampires under him would also die as is the tradition and story of all other vampire tales.... Anyway.
Selene gets boosted multiple times
1. Turned into a vampire by Viktor
2. Trained and successful death dealer for centuries
3. After tracking down Tanis and finding Alexander Corvinus he gave her his blood which made her stronger, faster, and able to stand in the UV light.
4. That outfit is a blessing for all. So super power up for that
5. Northern icy Coven were performing some kind of death or near death ritual by wrapping and submerging into freezing water.
6. She doesn't do it at first but 3/4 fight with Marius when she learns he dank the last drop of Michael's blood she slid into the icy waters and came back with ultra speed transformation.... with that hot white streak of hair and all.
Idk how strong her daughter is that was in the previous movie and didn't show up in the last one that was released but she's a hybrid like Michael was.
So as far as the lore goes, Selene is supposed to be THE strongest immortal currently alive as a vampire dominant true immortal hybrid. Not a vamp-lycam hybrid. She used her true Alex.C immortality power up gave her the ability to resurrect both Michael during her fight at Williams tomv after Marcus had overpowered him and impaled his hand and heart
Then next movie in timeline she brings back the son of one of the 3 top vampire elders, forgot her name but I wish we saw more of her, she was also gorgeous.
But the mutant mega giant lycan came to the hidden vamp coven and slaughtered almost all including David. Took selenes daughter. When she was blamed for David's death she brought him back to life with Alex C immortality boost which I'm sure remained in him.
At any rate idk what you are trying to correct. Based on my post from 3 months ago it seems I was annoyed by the 99% likelihood of an AI narration and if it's not AI then it's poorly written and wrongly said; hence the correction of the name
"It's KRAVEN NOT RAVEN"
I didn’t realize there were so many actors from GOT in this movie
She should play Selene in the MCU
Also, Selene was not overpowered by Marius
All but one movie.
If Selene was mourning the near extinction of the Lycan race, she was probably overjoyed to find a few hundred of them living in the metropolitan train system.
This is a perfect example of a female leader marvel take note
She should do the voice and another animation
Can't wait for the next one from Trinidad & Tobago the land of steal ban and calipso
How many books were writen? I could only find 4 books, were there more books?
They were originally books that were then novelised
I really hate that Michael was killed off off screen, not that the production team did it, but because of how it affects Selene's story. Selene kills her "adoptive father" (cause he killed hers) for Michael who was just going to die in a few scant years (to an immortal) anyway. Also, other than David no one in that damn 4th film had any charisma besides Selene, with the Werewolf guys being completely awful (I've seen better acting in porn). If Michael had to die I wish it had meant something - like something that would haunt Selene going forward.
She informs the Raven? Maybe Kraven?
Can you make a video on interview with a vampire vampires? 😊
I've loads! Check my channel page you'll see them
Selene is the most powerful Vampire in the Underworld Franchise. Capable of killing any Vampire in the Underworld Franchise. But how do you think she would go in a fight to the death against Drake from Blade: Trinity and Stefan Salvatore from The Originals?
I'd like to see prequel movie about selene also lily sheen play young selene when Victor murder her family?
The most beautiful face on the planet
but is Michael really dead? he bled out in evolution, maybe it just takes longer to regenerate since Marius drained him dry also Lucian could've revive as well since he took in some of Michael's blood before his death
Didn't selene try to revive michael after she had drank Alexander's blood and thats what helped him, i would of love to have seen a movie about Alexander and it end with the construction of the secret dungeon and William's capture
😫i just want one more moive, plus she's a elder now
She's not the main protagonist in The Rise of the lycans, that's Lucian and Sonia
I was hoping he'd add the Endless War anime to the storyline but unfortunately mate didn't :(
I loved bekensale as Selena but this series went haywire after the third movie
I lowe her to much 😭 she is pretty 😍❤️😍❤️❣️
if only Eva Green wasn't cast as a villain T_T
In fairness it was Kate Beckinsale that made the underworld franchise work
This is the universe where I'd love to see Stoker's Van Helsing and how would he work and react to Selene and all the "Good" Vampires that exist!!!
Selene in 2024 is 640 years old! 😮
Selene had 2 sisters, twins.
11:18 sry but no, she doesn't learn what the pendant means until that track down Tanis... who was in "Exile"
but was actually being guarded by lycan slaves of old who could never take human form with vampire women
to entertain his "exile" - he was also an engineer; the one creating the UV bullets...
its like you didn't watch the movie and had an AI write this script and narrate it.... come on.
i'm only 1/3 in and im getting tired of correcting you
