    Akasha’s life gives new meaning to “the road to hell is often paved with good intentions” as it showcases how she went from a ruler wanting to bestow good will to her people but later descended into tyranny and corruption.

      I never knew this about Aaliyah. I got into her in the early 2000s I think I had one or two of her albums I’d just listen to over and over because I loved her voice. Not to mention her acting as well, absolutely amazing. I’m happy to know for queen of the damned she was a fan and took time to study vampires is great because it paid off in the movie.

    Slight error in the timeline, if Maharet and Mekare were separated before Akasha turned, they would not have been turned. While the others at the funeral were killed, not all the witches were killed. The Akasha video gives a more accurate timeline
    Marharet and Mekare were assaulted then both were cast to the desert. They returned home, and Maharet gave birth. They were tortured by the demon who eventually merged with Akasha. Khayman brought the twins back and turned them after they were disfigured and sentenced to death; after escape they were set adrift.

      That horrible ass movie didn't even tell a tiny fraction of Akasha's story in the books. Aaliyah is awesome, but that movie and the book shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as each other, let alone saying that character was everything Anne Rice wanted her to be and more. Let's not get ahead of ourselves! Movie Akasha was all "final boss in a video game" energy and book Akasha has a whole long wild story that Aaliyah's Akasha didn't get the chance to even try to portray.

      Nope. It will more than likely be woke and stupid because hollywood still hasn't learned their lesson at all. Smh. They've ruined every other modern project for the last 10 years, why would this be any different. Or if it's not woke and it's successful, they'll make it woke in season two and then blame the fans for its canceling like they did the epic Constantine TV series. Smh. The only hope for this series being done right would be Anne Rice doing and overseeing EVERYTHING herself. But one can only dream.

    Lenoire in Castlevania said it best in my opinion: "Power... Big, international, non-diplomatic projected power is something else entirely. It lends you more might but it doesn't have the utilities of true strength. It lays eggs in you, it becomes a parasite you have to feed. Power does nothing but eat....like...a vampire." The only point I disagree on in this vid is that Akasha was never wise. In the book she was always vain, self-obsessed and desirous of absolute control. She did care about her people but like a narcissist she regarded them more as pets than anything else. She realized (falsely) at some point in her youth that the gods, the spirits and the afterlife weren't real, and that discovery devastated her spiritually, creating a void in her heart that could never be filled. Amel grafted his lunatic obsession with the life giving magic of blood to Akasha's unfillable emptiness and created a creature that is dead and empty, yet eternally thirsty for life. Always thirsty, never satisfied.

    Akasha did not just start to go into a comatose like state. She was captured by her own vampires and imprisoned with her husband only exposing their necks. They lived this way for who knows how long with people stealing their blood and giving it to the unworthy. After hundreds or even thousands of years of imprisonment (she was 6k+ years at the time of her rising) she fell into a comatose state most likely brought about because she accepted she would never be free again.

    Akasha is one of my favorite vampires. She really messed with Marius, their caretakers, worse than Enkil did.
    Aaliyah did a splendid job in her role as Akasha. The savage destruction of The Admiral's Arms bar and all of the vampires in it, was beyond epic!
    My favorite line was when she told the disrespectful and cocky vampire, after he foolishly revealed that he and the rest of the vampires are going unalive Lestat, by saying " Really? Is that what you're going to do?" 😅

The writing was so good, she won me over in this book and I was rooting for her and for Lestat. I felt for her and felt pained by her betrayal and downfall. She and the book deserve a movie/series that does them justice - the movie was so terrible, more terrible for Lestat, but bad overall.

    Though the critics panned the movie, I enjoyed The Queen of the Damned so much that I used it for Comparative Culture classes here in Japanese college classes. The acting was spotty, though Aaliyah really did her role justice. And the screenplay was good enough for college students to gradually catch on to the power of metaphor and social analysis. And though I am a jazzer, I grew fond of the sound track.

    With the mix of ancient history, mythology, and mysticism
    But I felt the movie barely grasped how a good villain she could have been if the movie was from her POV and Lestar would be the last chapter spelling her doom.

      Amel was one of the great spirits hovering around the red-haired twins but they never called for him since they knew how michievious he can be. The only time he was ever called, was when Mekare used him torment Akasha for revenge. Unfortunately, that's how Akasha became the first vampire. All the spirits who used to love the twins and do their bidding, were saddened and grew distant when Mekare decided to use Amel. Such a waste.

    I love her back story; I love her reign and fall. But I extremely dislike the book. Simply for the fact of all these different POVs and the time jumps. It was difficult to follow at times, and I found the side stories pointless, (Baby Jenks and David). The movie was terrible (story wise), but it is honestly one of my favorites for the soundtrack and Aaliyah. Anyone agree on my takes?

    If the storyline were written more realistically, she'd become "corrupted" after she refused to compromise and said no to someone (ultimate good), who then got the scribes to write her as the ultimate evil.

      ​@@fortelewisandrew2426I think she is going to be introduced next season (season three) of IWTV. I'm sure you caught the reference to her in the season finale. I think in season three they will show how Lestat got Akashas' blood in him. I've had an idea for how they should do season three. Lestat contacts Daniel so that he can tell his story as a kind of response to Louis book. Lestat recounts the events of his life to Daniel, who joins him on tour with his band.

    OK, got bored after 2 mins. All you did was a book question at 7 year old level. Memnoch is an 11 year old book, Mayfair witches, 15 year old. All different stories, which are best read as a series until you go onto next topic

    Well… It is something mystical, magical and mysterious about the middle east (Iraq). Even in Dune written by Frank Herbert, the Desert is in ‘Arrakkis’. The Biblical Patriarch Abraham is from there, the land of Ur. Allegedly the Garden of Eden maybe located around or in Iraq. The novel and movie The Exorcist is located in Iraq….

    I feel like after she started getting sick, her son attempted to finish some of her unfinished works and that why her last books are so far from her other storylines. The styles are just too different to be excepted by her day one fans.

    I wish you wouldn't use the constant moving swirling effects on the pictures as it makes me dizzy looking at them. I really wanted to see and hear what you had to say in this video, as I'm a huge fan of Rice's Vampire Chronicles and QOTD is my favourite book, but I'm going to have to skip your video. Maybe you will refrain from using these effects in future videos that prevent viewers like myself from watching and getting nauseous?
