god, Aaliyah was so beautiful. RIP
Yeah she was
She is the Queen of the Damned and will always be Akasha
she is regardless
Claudia has the most heartbreaking story of all, to be an immortal with all that knowledge and cunning endlessly trapped in the body of a child 💔
It's genuinely timeless and heart wrenching 😢
I think that was the point.😢
They discover her Journal in the wall of the house in Queen of the Damned and its so upsetting seeing the POV of a 60 Year old woman stuck inside the body of a four year old
Perhaps if Claudia had lived till The Tale Of The Body Thief, her problem could have been resolved happily.
@@teejaylecapois9741 The funny thing is I was thinking this too when I first read that book. Heck if John was able to be younger why can't Claudia be a bit older?
“Louis is one of the most important vampires” wouldn’t have guessed it the way he was thrown in the trash after telling his story.
geuss there was more money to be made off of Lastat then Louis :(
So interesting to me how interview with the vampire was essentially retconned, diminishing Louis heartbreakingly compelling story to make the brat prince look like gods gift to the world
@@Cadec247Louis sucked tho he was so weak and crying all the time never tried to get stronger or anything just sad 24/7
I thought louis was the more powerful main character at the end of iwv, until i read the books.@@Cadec247
If I'm not mistaken Lestat was literally god level during Memnoch the Devil. He could even walk in daylight with no issues.
He became super strong but he still wasn't as strong as the twins I wouldn't think Marius either
Yes, didn't he get a tan, I believe he was depressed though.
Depends how much of Akasha blood they drank….
@@alexsherel3344 Marius and the twins were made directly from those who must be kept.... thousands of years before lestat was born.
@@TrekCannon and Lestat drank from Jesus…in ADDITION to the rest he’s drank from….including Akasha.
I enjoyed Queen of the Damned despite it didn't follow the books. I have both soundtracks on cd 💿, the singing and score album (background music). Aaliyah will always b remembered as Akasha. In a behind the scenes, she said she's alway loved stories about Egypt and vampires. So this was a dream for her to play.
I loved that soundtrack.
Yes to all of this!
I have read the books and still loved the movie! It’s absolutely enchanting and of course, the soundtrack 🧑🏻🍳🤌🏻
Even though I did like the movie and soundtrack I still wished that Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned were made into 2 separate movies and of course follow it up with Tale of the Body Thief and Memnoch the Devil then perhaps the spinoffs. Imagine if time and effort were put in by producers and directors to make a movie series out of the Vampire Chronicles as much as it was done for the Twilight series.
@@willn8664 I’m right with you. It’s one of those movies that you may really enjoy if you haven’t read that books. But if you have it’s a disappointing movie.
The second story, the Vampire Lestat, was by far my favourite book within Anne Rice's series.
I could picture the book in my head when I read the book. I thought it would have made a great film.
Funny how some of the best books have never been adapted to film. Donna Tartt's book, the Secret History is another great book that could make a wonderful film.
SAME EXACTLY!
Excellent video! Love that you included baby Jenks and other less know characters.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely love Louis he's one of my favorites ❤
I enjoyed your ranking however I feel my boy Khayman should be top 5 at the very least. That’s just my own bias though.
your art work for these vids is across between an oil work
from the 1800s and a photograph like its THAT level good :3
Great stuff, your pronunciations are all over the place but the enthusiasm makes up for it by far. 😊
Amazing video! Although, I would argue that Claudia should be further up the tree. She was ferocious and cunning!
I recently re-read interview and I had totally forgot that when Lestat was taken out by Claudia the first time, he went back and changed the pianist boy that he was weirdly obsessed with into a vampire to help him get revenge on Louis and Claudia while in his weakened state. In a five year old’s body, Claudia managed to leave Lestat’s fledgling crumpled up and bleeding to death while Louis set Lestat on fire. She was a little savage.
There's no way that Louis was stronger than Armand...
It's debatable, these are rankings from the end of the series. Louis gets a massive power-boost post-Merrick due to (massive amounts of) Lestat's blood, but he prob still wouldn't come close to Armand's mental abilities (I mean even Lestat wouldn't, realistically).
Good list in general, however I think David Talbot is ranked WAY to low based on conversations in the Vampire Armand, also ain’t no way Louis is stronger than Armand, pretty sure Lestat talks about how weak he is in The Body thief despite having Lestat’s blood.
I❤ u soo much for making these. Anne Rice is my all time favorite author. Simply genius. I do take issue with Kathman being 7th, when he was literally 3rd vamp ever made. Anyway, keep up the great work.
Number one and two should be Akasha and Enkeel (spelling?) I would put Marius behind Makare and Maharet. Lestat after Marius. Good work.
Mekare absorbed Akasha's power upon her death, making her the most powerful vampire at that point. Then when Lestat absorbed the sacred core from Mekare and absorbed her power, that put Lestat at the top.
In the books wasn't Lestat taken back in time at one point and Jesus allowed Lestat to drink his blood? Yep I think Lestat is number one... 😇
@@Sinonymous we can't really tell if what happens in volume 5 is true or if it's just Lestat going crazy,but overcoming it in the end.Succumbing to maddness is mentioned a lot of times in previous volumes and in vol 4 Lestat is going through a severe depressive episode,suicide attempt and at the end is left in a state where he mentions he has problems with controling his emotions, has mood swings and trembling hands.Then he turns paranoid in vol.5 (David thinks Lestat is just imagining things) so it's possible that the events in vol.5 aren't real.
I can’t believe I read all these books . Haha.
Really some crazy deep stuff in Rice’s final 3 books. Comparing memoch & amel.
Obsessed with Interview with a Vampire its one of my favorite films of all time
Akasha totally belongs in the top 3
Not the Top 2?
It's complicated list that would vary depending on where in the time line of the books were taking each vampire from. Most of it I would get behind, I think that Marius and the twins are palced too low, and Lestat is definitely placed too high. If he were more powerful/stronger than Akasha he wouldn't have needed help to take her down in QOTD, and even after he submitted to the twins. Many of the true ancients, would rank above him as well imo.
he was powerful through drinking Akasha's blood. none of the other ancients drank her blood. moreover he didn't really want to kill her, and couldn't have anyway without killing himself and all the others since she held the sacred core. the twins were only able to kill her because they consumed the core (a callback to their ancient religious practices) which is something the others (Lestat) wouldn't have thought of. But that doesn't necessarily mean they were stronger.
By the events of Memnoch through Blood Canticle Lestat was basically indestructible and unkillable. That's why after QotD Anne had to put him in different types of situations where his strength wouldn't really be able to help him all that much (Tale of the Body Thief, Memnoch, Blackwood Farm)
@@spicy_kitty7983 I can't agree with you on all of this .... I think you're stretching beyond what i cannon. Many of the ancients had drunk for Akasha, Marius certainly had drunk from her much more than any others ... so based on that logic exclusively Marius would be more powerful than Lestat. In QOTD it's made pretty clear that Lestat isn't able to overpower Akasha, it takes multiple vampires to overpower her to that the twins are able to take the brain and heart. I believe Lestat was put in different situations because multiple books of Lestat meeting, falling in love and turning a human would get boring, and it allowed her to flesh out other plot points, like the Talamasca, the Mayfair witches, etc., Lestat was just her favourite because he was so innately flawed ... remember Interview was Anne processing her grief, and Lestat was the escape, the light of overcoming that grief and so was a character that Anne needed to embrace, at last based on her public discussions on him.
Interesting list… I definitely wasn’t expecting some of the placements…
Love this! 🤩
Enjoyed the vid. Be sure.
I did have a problem with some of the rankings.
Specifically vampires that literally overpower another solo.
If they overpower the vampire solo you can't put them below them.
If it's way further in the story it's worth mentioning. (Though in this list I don't remember that being an issue)
Wow! This was an absolute masterpiece! You said a few names I didn't recognize. I haven't read every Anne Rice book but now i need to go back and read a few thanks to you. Btw, I really thought Akasha would be ranked first :)
Akasha would be first if you only read the first few books, but this ranking is looking at the series as a whole. =) It's also why Louis is so high, he's one of the weakest vampires in the first few books partly by choice because he doesn't like feeding on humans. But there's a plot-related reason why he's so high in the list. =)
I really didn’t become a huge vampire fan until Aaliyah play Akasha I truly love this movie and the soundtrack and the score of the movie, especially when Lestat was playing violin with the gypsy
Just started Interview with a Vampire (book), already I am completely hooked on the series. Also I feel like Mael constantly gets the short end of the stick in these books, guy can't catch a break.
It's a great series, I loved it. I accidentally read The Vampire Lestat first, then Interview with the vampire after that. Oops. 🙃
Are you going to cover the Mayfair witches too?
absolutely
Great video! I actually think most of the ancient ones (First Brood and Children of the Millennia) would burn Lestat and Armand without difficulty. Lestat says something on this topic in Prince Lestat. And Akasha, Kayman, Mekare and Maharet should be the most powerful ones. The reason Lestat is so powerful despite being so young is that he drank from Akasha several times in QoTD, but at the time Armand drank from him in Interview he was just a fledgling. Armand sucked Lestat's blood just because he was obsessed with him, not for his powers but for intimacy. Gabrielle and Nicki were also pretty weak because Lestat made them as a fledgling and hadn't drunk from Akasha yet. Louis was stronger because Lestat had drunk from both Akasha and Marius at that point, but before the end of Merrick was still pretty weak for a vampire. After exchanging blood with Lestat several times he's probably as powerful as David though.
Also Alessandra and some other ancient ones should be more powerful than Armand and Louis for sure.
Chrisante, Severaine, Gregory, Seth and Cyril were also First Brood and surely equal or superior to Rosh.
Bianca and Armand are probably pretty powerful at this point: both drank from Marius, who drank from Akasha, but Bianca drank directly from Akasha and Armand took Lestat's blood again after Memnoch.
Lestat also drank from Gregory in Prince Lestat and the Realm of Atlantis, so he's probably in the top10 list at this point. If we count his skills, generosity, braveness, luck and charisma along with his powers I agree he should be first, though ❤.
This list is totally incorrect! Just for a couple at the start - Claudia, while 5, was created by Lestat, after he had already drank from multiple ancients. Baby Jenks was from unknown, diluted bloodlines. Claudia had way more power than Baby Jenks. Jessica was created by Maharet, who was 6000 years old, the 5th vampire ever created, and so close in power to the other Ancient Ones that distinguishing power up to Queen of the Damned would have been nearly impossible between Maharet, Mekare, and Khayman. Enkil was more powerful than Khayman at the time of Queen of the Damned, as Akasha made him first and completely drained him and refilled him to create him - that makes a big difference, and Maharet drained and refilled Jessica multiple times during her creation, so much so that when Marius first encountered her she was already one of the most powerful vampires in Maharet's sanctum at one day old, being still full of human blood and life, but already taking on the marble like qualities of the Ancient Ones, and no need to feed whatsoever. How you rank her below minor vampires like Nicholas de Lenfent (who was the second fledgling of Lestat, who was an extremely powerful fledgling at the time, but had already created Gabrielle) and others of his ilk is bizarre. Similarly, Daniel Molloy was the first Fledgling of Armand (who was made by Marius, who had already drank from Akasha, and was himself 500 years old), and again given huge amounts of his blood. I could keep going on, but this list is just completely wrong.
Someone needed to say it. This list IS poorly researched and thought out. "Just completely wrong". So obviously in fact, it is probably on purpose to lure people ( like us ) to the comments.
I can see there's a few people in this comments section who haven't read the full chronicles and therefore don't understand why the vampires were ranked this way.
Will you be doing a ranking on the strongest vampires in true blood 🧛♂️🤔
Thanks!
Enkil wasn’t really killed y Akasha he was euthanized, as she tells it. I realize it’s a distinction without a difference.
Louis is the strongest like Lestat said. He never failed to keep up with human world change he's the spirit of any age. He still has a good sense of humanity. He boldly stood up to even Akasha
Very interesting
There needs to be a universe/world where these vampires are put in a series so we can see them all come to life!!!!!
TV series*
There is@@ratedrstarboy
I think a new series has just come out
You definitely should check out the tv adaptation of interview with the vampire it's absolutely great
Love your list I noticed you didn’t include Azim ancient vampire with his own cult in the Himalayan mountains
i actually confused him with Azul
@@VampireFolkloreVideos oh that makes sense
Do you think that if Claudia had lived centuries as opposed to just a few decades she would've been stronger? Wish she was kept alive to show us that element, we know Vampires grow stronger with age I'd be interesting as to what exact age Claudia would need to be in order to overpower adult bodied Vampires easily despite being a child.
Claudia would be at a disadvantage given her size. Lestat as a fairly young vampire was able to be overpower Armand, since Armand had a teenage body even though he was centuries older than Lestat.
@@evilpog1693Wrong!!! lestat overpowering Armand was due to him drinking from the FIRST VAMPIRE EVER. Claudia would've definitely become stronger since her maker has multiple ancients blood in him.
Great video, but where is Vittorio?
He wasn’t part of the crew .. separate to them all
Interesting, what about a ranking of the Wolves?
Gabrielle and Lestat travelled together for 10 years, not a few months.
Ok, commenting in the midst of this video, I just didn't want to lose my thoughts: I personally would place Nicolas de Lenfant a little bit more down of this list: Yes, he has Lestat's blood, which, coming from Magnus, would have been an old, strong bloodline; but he didn't have the mental stability to ever be(come) a vampire (and Lestat and his mum Gabrielle (especially her) knew it). This greatly impacts his powers.
For the same reason, just in reverse, so to speak, I would place Gabrielle higher. Bloodline is the same; but she's more or less a "born vampire" (yepp, I know this sentence doesn't make sense in a "literal" way 😂), unafraid, ruthless, eager to try everything (sleeping in the earth, for example), doesn't seem the slightest bit woried about that she has to kill to feed herself (she even kills a boy for his size of the clothes he's wearing, so she can take and wear them); has no problems at all, as it seems, to be by herself, and exist *for* herself. Imagine her becoming a few thousand years old, mostly unimpressed by what usually is the greatest weakness to the Anne-Rice-characters: emotions.
How come you didn't use any visuals from the amc tv show?
Good list but considering some of the characters ages and who their makers are, who they were served . Bianca and David drank from the oldest most potent blood so they are higher the those older then them . Bianca must put tank Armand after drinking from Akasha
You forgot to mention one of the reasons why Lestat is so powerful is that in the book the tale of the body thief he Regresas back in time, and is a witness to Christ, carrying his cross at the crucifixion, and actually drinks the blood of Jesus
Do you also have another channel focused on harry potter? I think i recognise your voice.
Yep that’s me
@@VampireFolkloreVideos wow didn't know that
@@VampireFolkloreVideosI would love to see a movie of akasha and ekill their Backstory they ruled the vampire for.millenum how akasha become first vampire then how she stop sucking blood and become a statute that would be dope to se in silver screen. Dont you think
Where is Merrick?! (Great list in general though 😉)
separate video for mayfair characters
This picture from Lestat 😍😍
you ranked the vampires from waekest to strongest based on your opinion so other people should be able to handle the concept of difference in opinions.
Exactly.. thank you ☺️
I thought Merrick and Mona Mayfair were vampires too. Where did you rank them
keeping the mayfair vampires separate for a diferent video
from watching this video I honestly can't tell what criteria you used to score the characters at all. It's not age clearly.
I wish I could get over my hate for Lestat uhhh he annoyed the shit out of me
Akasha wasn’t Egyptian she was Mesopotamian , from Tigris .. They needed a middle Eastern to play her
Good list but damn Jesse and David should both be in the top ten, if not close to it
Too young…
Why did you choose an avatar for Marius which is completely contrary to his description and ethnicity? It's also well known that Roman men kept their hair short.
I get the impression that this ranked list has more to do with personal preference than logic. Rice vampires are powerful because of 1. longevity, 2. who made them 3. whose blood they consumed and how much of it.
So clearly the ancient ones are the most powerful. The twins drank of Akasha and took the life giving power of ALL vampires into them. So clearly without a doubt they are the most powerful vampires that are still alive. Lestat is maybe the coolest one but I wouldn't even put him in the top 5.
I must've fell asleep, sorry. Lol seriously, excellent vid, but I'm drifting. Anyway, I missed Merrick, Mona and Vittorio. Were they in there? Must rewatch.
different vid for mayfair vamps
@@VampireFolkloreVideos Gotcha, thanks.
That was great but you forgot Viktor and Rose.
separate video, you'll see why when i release it
Do you like the atlantis things towarda the end? Personally i LOVE it
Eww... 😢
@@unit4039 its so good lol i just love all the ancient history in the world. All the egyptian stuff too
I enjoyed the Atlantis stuff. It was weird & crazy but when you're trying to explain the genesis of VAMPIRISM, weird & crazy works!
Imagine just how powerful Lestat will be when he is a child of the millennia having powers not seen by even the most ancient ones 😮
Great list…but why wasn’t Merrick included??
different video for mayfair vamps
Magnus was an old man btw
Poor Vittorio. Forgotten by all. With so many vamps in the chronicles its not surprising some have been overlooked. The nerd in me wants to point out the mistakes and omissions. The most "powerfull" is not a measure that Anne Rice even bothered herself with (internet lists were not a thing back then). And "most powerfull" is entirely dependent upon when in the narrative we are talking about. After Akasha got dead it was Maharet/Mekare by orders of magnitude. Maharet chained up Lestat with her hair. As the books went on more and more ludicrously old vamps got introduced, it just got daft.
Pedantic point... Lestats maker was ugly, not the man hotty used in the video. And also bizarrely back as a ghost. Force ghost vamps....lol. Oh anne rice, much shark jumping was done.
Vittorio is part of the Mayfair Vampires not the Vampire Chronicles ;)
@@RPumpkinQueen Not at all. "New tales of the vampires" Nothing to do with the Mayfairs/Witches. Wouldnt matter anyway as she mashed all her characters together.
How can Lestat be more powerful than Akasha?
Because he drank from several powerful vampires including Akasha, and then he absorbed the sacred core (Amel) from Mekare (Mekare had absorbed the core upon Akasha's death). So with the sacred core inside him, and having absorbed Mekare's power when he killed her, he became the most powerful vampire ever.
But at the time of Queen of the Damned Lestat was clearly outclassed by Akasha.
@@tompearce5418 Yes but the vampire chronicles didn't end with the book Queen of the Damned. There were like 10 other books after that. In the book Prince Lestat, Mekare asked him to take the sacred core from her, once he did that he became the most powerful vampire ever. Again, that is because Mekare took the core from Akasha as she was dying. The one who has the core is the most powerful vampire.
And didn’t he drink from Jesus?
@alexsherel3344 yes he did!
One question... How was Mekare able to kill Akasha so easily?
Where does Vittorio rank?
It's not Maul. It is MAEL (pronounced Ma-el similar to Uriel or Ariel).
I appreciate the video but I strongly disagree with most of this list 😅 also you forgot mona and merrick mayfair. if you're going to include baby jenks then these two should also definitely be there...
If Marius was Roman, he'd have short hair like in the movie.
His human captures (including Mael) were made to wait until Marius' hair grew before he was turned.
Akasha should be #1 Lestat #2
She's our Mother (Marius) #ThosewhoMustBeKept 🔥🔥🔥
lestat became far more powerful than akasha. Read the books and see
Memnoch the Devil will explain why Lestat is the most powerful. He has done something no other vampire has ever done.
I had to pause the video to say this how can a vampire made by Maharet not be number 24. That math ain't mathin'.
Baby Jenks would have been stronger than Madeline.
What about Merrick
Top 3 is where you lost me... of course I named my daughter Akasha so I MAY be biased...
Continue reading the books and you'll see how powerful lestat truly becomes
it's a hard list to make but no matter how you look at it I don't believe Louis is so high on the list, he's not anywhere near Armand, let alone all those ancient vampires but it's all really a matter of great debate
p.s. where do you think Vittorio would rank on this list? :)
Where are Seth, Fareed, Crystal, Rose, Victor, Victor’s mum, Gregory, Quinn’s sire and grandsire? You mentioned the last 2 but didn’t rank them and didn’t mention the others at all.
Different video for those guys
Can someone explain why Lestat is so powerful? I'm confused by the explanation in the video. Did he just consume more ancient blood than everyone else? How did that make him more powerful than one who consumed Akasha and the core? Anyone rising to become more powerful than Akasha seems to be a case of a spring rising higher than its source
This is the Lestat at the end of the series who has consumed the core himself. And adding on top of him feeding off of very powerful vampires for a long period of time. Compared to ancient vampires who have been in sleep or in stasis for centuries, and perhaps haven't "powered-up" by any means other than aging. There's definitely a debate to be had, but I can understand reading Lestat as being the strongest by the series' end. He's out here killing ancient vampires single-handedly at that point. 😂 And seeing Akasha as the strongest works if you see her as the ceiling for power, but in this series it definitely seems like vampires can just continue growing stronger and stronger with no ceiling in sight. 🤔
@@mieroth I don't really know much about the whole series (I read Interview and Lestat and watched Queen, all a LONG time ago. That's about it apart from what I learned from this channel). How did Lestat consume the core when it says someone else consumed it? Also, even if a vampire could get stronger over time, surely Akasha has existed (even in just awake state) much longer than he in addition to being the first. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to offer an explanation!
Same way Mekare did! She ate Akasha's brain and inherited the sacred core, and Lestat in the 11th book ate Mekare's brain and inherited the core, though in that case it wasn't forced and Mekare gave up her life.
In the books vampires don't only get stronger with age, that's only one factor. And Lestat also has drunk from a LOT of old vampires, while Akasha was sleeping for a lot of her existence. Like I said it can be argued though, it's not wrong to see Akasha as the strongest, but there's also a good reason as to why many people consider Lestat to be the strongest vampire by the end of the series.
@@Norbingel from what I heard in the older books lestat gets a big power boost thanks to drinking blood from powerful sources plus getting the core
I think Lestat should be just after Marius
I can't agree with this ranking, characters such as Alessandra or Magnus are definitely much more powerful than Santiago or even Armand...also Marius...i wouldn't underestimate Marius.
There's also no way De Pointe du Lac is stronger than Armand.
I feel like Gabrielle should be way higher on the list.🤷🏽♀️
Louis should be maybe 25ish. Nothing about him is powerful.
Can Louis fly in the book?
Technically he could but he chooses to live as close to human as he could so he doesn’t fly or use fire gift only charm and occasional mind reading
Louis prefers to keep a low profile...
Akasha should’ve been #1.
Why? She’s not the strongest
Louis more powerful than Armand??? no way!!
He was made from lestats blood which has akashas properties
@@VampireFolkloreVideosand Armand was made by Marius who had Aksha’s and Enkil’s blood and about 1700 years on Lestat
😅 Louis becomes almost as powerful as Lestat by the end of the chronicle when he is saved by lestat, Talbot and Merrick...however the trade for that power was apparently his humanity
Other than Aaliyah as Akasha, the casting in the 3 movies was so poor. So far off Ms. Rice’s vivid descriptions. And much of the acting was awful ( I’m looking at TC and BP here) I read Interview when it first came out in 1981. And each additional book as they came out. I love the twists and turns.
I have a hard time believing that the queen of the vampires is not number one. I don't think Lestat scales to the queen.
Read the books
not at the time they met and interact no, but by the time of later books he does for sure
How would lastat be more powerful than the queen of the dammed ?
read the books my friend, lestat becomes the most powerful vampire of all time, he goes on to achieve a power that only akasha could dream of reaching
@@VampireFolkloreVideos wow see I didn’t no that but that’s me goin off the movies
@@larryjohnson9988 even listen to the Audio book
@@VampireFolkloreVideos ima definitely gone check it out
And yet Klaus Mikaelson slams all of them!
You want the actual ranking...read the novels.
😂 lestat is not number one until the queen of the dam actually dies. This definitely messes up your list because if Akasha is on the list, Lestat perhaps number three because he’s not even stronger than Ankele I Get It lestat is the most famous of the vampires but if either of the queen herself, or the king is on this list, you have to take their power and skill into the matter as well Lestat could not one V one, either the queen nor the king after they perish, however, than yes, Lestat is easily, the strongest vampire after that all the skills he possess both the king and queen has in spades I’m just posting this here for clarity for everyone else who watches this video. Lestat on his own is not stronger than Akasha or ankle.
Too much credit to Louis, he should be the weakest, it’s his nature.
Lestat should be top 5 not number one. Great list.
He shouldn't be number one, but number 2 atleast. I mean dude stood in the Sahara desert and came out with a tan!
Mekare absorbed Akasha's power upon her death, which included taking the sacred core into her. When Lestat absorbed the sacred core and Mekare's power, that made him the most powerful vampire ever. It makes sense that he is listed as number one. Because if you absorb the power of the most powerful vampire ever, that then puts you at the top.
Lestat is essentially un-killable, which makes him #1 on the power list. Both Akasha and Mekare could be and were KILLED.
@hollyvanwye9294 if the first vampire can be killed it stands to reason that lestat could be killed its just that he's so loved and protected by other that no one will act on it.
I agree that Lestat lives a charmed life but it's his creator, Anne Rice, who decreed that he can't be killed. Several of her characters call him 'un-killable" and while that may not seem logical, within the confines of the storyline it's a fact.
Lestas is more power than AKASHA?! She was literally the queen of the damned!
Lestat held the sacred core, travelled to hell, met the devil, he had more power than anyone.
There are 13 books in the series and if you reach the last few titles you'll understand why Lestat is ranked #1.
I'd say Claudia definitely ranks above Daniel, because she may have lacked in body size, but mentally she was strong. Daniel was physically mature but driven mad by Armand.
Armand himself is a whole other subject when it comes to Claudia. I would argue she was a much stronger vampire than given credit for because of her physical, not mental, age. She hunted for sport, not because she couldn't subdue any person she wanted. The only reason Madeleine was created was so Claudia could have someone front as her mother. Sorry for the rant.
Lastat hout NOT be number one!
if you read the books then it would be a different story
Just a heads up, in the movie Interview with a Vampire, after the meeting with Louis, Daniel Malloy is seen driving in a red car, across a bridge, and starting to listen to the interview tape, and quote's " sombody change my shorts . . . . this is some good stuff, good stuff", then from the back of the car, Lestat jumps Daniel and ses "I assume I need no introduction" then bites him, then throws him to either the side or back of the car, and quotes, "Louis, Louis, Louis, always whining Loui. I had to put up with that for years. I am going to give you the choice I never had". . . and after that, at the very ending of the movie, it starts zooming out, showing the car driving across the bridge, and the song Sympathy for the Devil (GNR Version) playing. It was Lestat that changed Daniel . . . NOT Armand
No… Armand changed Daniel! It wasn’t lestat.. you’ve clearly never read the books.. that scene you described never happened in the book
No I have never read the books, at the time when I learned about Lestat, Louis, and Armand, was through the movie,. at the time, the Movie was cannon and the biggest promo for Ann Rice, as she made several appearances over the movie, and was quite proud of it, and from what I understand, she even had a small scene in the movie Queen of the Dammed. Maybe for future reference, don't include scenes from the movies when using book cannon, as it can confuse people who have not read the books. Also I would like to state that your video is very informative on the other vampires which have little story background in the movies. I would also like to state that the movie cover it's self quotes: Interview with a Vampire the vampire chronicles, thus is where maybe the confusion was coming from, for me@@VampireFolkloreVideos
the movie footage is used to give visual reference for the characters from the books. It helps give your imagination a little rest while trying to picture so many characters. Even try the audio book, it is so good. You'll discover so many new things you didnt know, like why Louis initially wanted to die. It wasn't because of his wife like it displays in the movie. Thanks for watching and for your feedback, its appreciated.
Bullshit! Akasha is the strongest!!! Period! 🤨
I appreciate the ranking, but I have to disagree. Mekare was more powerful than Akasha due to her power and the curse she laid upon Akasha. She also easily knocked her sister down too. Not only that, but she housed Amiel after she defeated Akasha. Lestat was the most powerful, but that was because he drank from Lucifer and God himself, the creator of all.
Good golly if only they'd make good movies sourced from good books with awesome female characters.... i'm looking at you disney marvel.
The Marvels was trash 😂😂
Interview with a vampire sucked.. Queen of the damned unfortunately sucked also
