One of the hottest vampires I've ever seen and she barely had screen time 😂😂
Fr tho 😂
when the movie came out she was a hungarian model so that is why the beauty...
Great video Amelia seems to have been best of the three Vampire Elder her goals we're base entirely on her hatred of werewolves, Lycans or even humans. She established other coven that didn't even involved themselves with the war that Viktor started, she thought of the future and it paid off well for her. Amelia is basically the reason Selene had an army to fight the Lycans in the end also securing her legacy with her son David
Thanks for finally answering the question of why Amelia was so important since the very 1st movie. The franchise seems to just introduce an important character and then shortly afterwards dispose of them left and right in each successive movie.
All this information comes from the movies. Even the so called important characters that died in the first movie got their stories told over time, if you were really watching.
@@quor2243 The last Underworld movie I saw from the franchise was I think the 3rd one? Where it told the story of how the Vampire and Lycan war got started.
Work kept me busy afterwards so I lost track from there.
At 7:06, if Vicktor and Amelia are awoken before Marcus, that’s 200 years to undermine any plan that Marcus can execute.
The saddest part about Amelia is that her screen time and lack of words were probably due to the producers hiring a model instead of an actress, something Hollywood does often when they are looking for someone for a small role but with a striking look. Another similar case is when they make a movie about Dracula and they hired three models to act as his wives. Coppola's Dracula seems to be an exception because he wanted the women to speak Romanian, yet one of them was a model.
She didn’t even have to speak they should have showed her ripping one of their hearts out at least
In the movie about Dracula the wife who had more scenes speaking and fighting was a real Spanish Actress called Elena Anaya, the rest were models.
The 1st Underworld was legit it fell off after changing the werewolves design & tone of the movies. Amelia deserves this honor great video Cogan this channel is so awesome.❤
Wasn't so much changing their design as it was they decided that CGI was better than practical suits for what they wanted lycans to do in that film.
I only recognize the 1st one.
i like the second one. Marcus was a awesome character. Everything after that was ugh
@@JaceVibe the first 3 were good. I loved the first and the rise of the Lycans. The second one was good
I loved the 2nd one.
I’d say the first 3 were good. 4 and 5 were meh.
While I didn't like the last sequel as much as the first three films, I did appreciate that Amelia got more character development. She was barely a character in the first film. The flash back gave us a bit more, but not much. So that's a positive. Thanks for giving us a video on this overlooked Elder.
this series did her so dirty. or they made a throw away character so iconic. its brilliantly stupid how they were able to do that
I like how Victor set it up so that Amelia is the one to awaken Marcus. That way Marcus doesn't drink Victor's blood and see where William is imprisoned.
They all cycle and take turns it wasn’t “set up”.
@@strangerthings88 Absolutely it was. Watch the video. Viktor set it up. He's the one that initiated the cycle, and he's the one that set up the order of who wakes who up.
Thanks for doing this video Amelia truly was a character that deserved more time in the spotlight i hope someday they do a series or movie focused on her 🖤🖤🖤🦇
Oh, I love the movie series Underworld!
Great video. I love exploring lore and having these stories pieced together when all the clues are spread out over 13 years can make it difficult to follow. Although she gets very little screen time, she is an important character. Amelia's actress looks so different between movies that you would swear they were different people. With only fleeting scenes in the first two movies, they could have simply recast the role... but because they didn't, it adds a little more legitimacy to the character as well as the actress.
She went down too easily in the first movie. Should've included a scene where she put up a hell of a fight with her guards in the train before going down.
those scenes cost alot of money they probably didnt have the budget for it
Oh sir, you know I was waiting for this one my brother 🖤 She's so gorgeous, she needs her own film
Amelia the only one of the three original Vampire Elders to not fight Michael Corvin and killed by Selene. Marcus Corvinus may not have had any children in the canon story. But he is the ancient uncle of Michael Corvin and his daughter Eve Corvin. So when you think about it. Michael and Eve are the rightful rulers of not just the Vampires but the Lycans too.
In a non canon story Marcus had a son and he and Victor tried to arrange a marriage between him and Sonja.
An epic Amelia movie would be so awesome
Ultimately, Amilia turned out to be useless. She should have been skilled enough at her age to slay werewolves, the arch nemesis of her species. PERIOD.
I'm a simple man. I see Cogan upload another solid Underworld Explained video, I click.
2010 wants their meme back.
Great video. My only issue with it is that it's never stated out right anywhere, movies or books, that Lucian was trying to make himself a hybrid. Only that he felt combining Lycan blood with Elder Vampire blood *could* create a hybrid. Closest he comes is biting Michael in the first movie before he's turned because no one else was able to sample his blood for experimenting...
I always wanted to hear her story. Too bad she was killed very early on. And really hot.
Love that someone is keeping this universe alive!
Always wondered why the vampires in Underworld have such distinct blue eyes when they do something cool. Is there any lore behind this?
I remember seeing Amelia and was blown away by how beautiful she is. I immediately looked the actress up on youtube lol
You might be pleased to hear that the actress had a Playboy photoshoot in 2004, a year after the first movie came out.
@falsinar wait what!? Thank you very much, I'm going to have to look into this asap for research purposes!
Zita Görög 😍😍😍
Yea a OG cover how I discovered this channel underworld
I actually found this online so I don’t know if it’s considered canon or not but victor was originally panning on getting rid of both Marcus and Amelia and have himself as the sole ruler with along with his daughter Sonja but he never did due to Sonja dyeing in rise of the Lucan’s and the lie Marcus told him
Thanks for filling me in. Much appreciated 👍😊
i been waiting for this video!!!! awesome vid!!!!!!
So glad I saw this thumbnail!
God I wish more Amelia had more screen time!
She deserves pretty much to suffer Raze is a true hero that he killed her
I would love 2 have a stand alone movie about Amelia possibly a movie on all the elders. Amelia was killed off 2 easy
I hope you're talking about "Ravenous" (1999) being the next one, it's a super cool movie with a supernatural element/lore you don't find in many movies.
I'm looking at her... the way she moves, look, and that neck jewellery, and I'm getting LOTR Elven vibes ( just imagine blonde hair)
Why does she need blonde hair? Liv Tyler was brunette and so was Elrond
Also if you need more ideas 💡 for videos. You could try to make "What if Underworlds series."
What if was victor awake & died on the train 🚂 ride. Making are MC waking up Amelia?
What if Victor survived but was badly injured in the end of the first movie?
What if Victor did sue in the prequel?
Thank you so much 😊
Need a video on William the first werewolf
Why is it that vampire teeth make women look so much more sexier
even though she only has a brief apperarence in the movie she is one of my favorite vampires of the series.
i want youre take on legacy of kain vampires and in particuler kain,i know you probably cant be arsed to play the games but there are compilations of all cinematics online,if you watch those you have a pretty good understanding of the game series,and i think you wil love the lore.
to me that game series has some of the best story telling in in both the game genre and the movie genre.
Tyra Banks Virginia Madsen and Denise Richards would all be my vampire brides
We need a video on The Order please
I would like to think that because Amelia made those covens, we get to have lore like Dracula in that universe.
Didn’t viktor have the emblem in his body that was the key to open the lock to free William? Is that the right movie? There’s so many vampire movies I can’t remember
One of the most beautiful vampires of the underworld verse
I need a spin off covering death dealers and lycan battles.
You should also do a video on vampires from the tv show being human U.S/UK
Have you watch the movie Vampyrer (2008)? It's about two vampire sisters trying to survive among humans. I think it would make an interesting video.
Is it a good movie or no
Love your Videos mate !
Can you do Brian Lumley's Wamphyri?
maby they should remake the movie and make Amelia powerful and a survivor through all the movies
It would been nice if Sonya would live to give birth to her child and to be made another story about her and Lucian
Amelia is so weak she literally needs help to walk down stairs. Not sure why the other elders are super powerful and she is so weak.
Wtf are you even talking about she never needed help walking. You clearly never watched the films 🙄🙄
Hot Vampire ladies are tight! -Ryan George probably
Zita Gorog was insanely beautiful when she was young, slavic women are just built different.
Can’t remember David 🎉😊
She founded 3 covens and we see her in armor along side them in flash backs. Killing her off like that was a big L because she seemed the most adaptable.
Seriously. You have no idea how much I was hoping we'd get a movie about her establishing the covens and the way she evolved as time passes. Definitely one of the more interesting Underworld characters.
They probably didn't think of that at the time of writing the first movie. She was more or less a lot device, to them develop later when they looked at her character more. So can't really fault them for that. Happens to characters all the time.
My thoughts exactly. The creators of the first movie had no idea the franchise would be as it is today, so as much as I too would have loved to see more of Amelia and her story, those weren't in the works during that time. @@GreenFalcon926
She’s like the cornerstone character that when is lost everything changes just we didn’t get to see her epic arch unfold we didn’t see the actual fight it could be made epic !
But like I think if the series Arcane when Vanderbilt dies or when Silco dies everything changes in the world weather people knew them or not.
She was definitely not the most adaptable lol
I hate how elder vampires die off so easily sometimes.
Like For God sakes! Amelia was an Elder vampire and high ranking warrior next to Viktor. Amelia is supposed to be skilled and battle tested. Them having her die like a weakling is sad. They should've at least shown her killing a few lycans before getting overpowered and killed.
Marcus put up a good fight
Totally agree. They are elders by name only? They should a force to reckon with.
@@MalihaBookishwe saw what viktor was capable of and he wasn’t even born a vampire or a corvinus strain he was incredibly strong and I think that’s why the elder’s have different coloured eyes being that they were the 1st gen vampires from Marcus Amelia and viktor were the 1st turned that is why their vampire eyes were purple and gold not blue like Marcus and Selene.
Im pretty sure Alexander Corvinus isn't a vampire, he's just the first to have the Corvinus strain in his blood his son was the first vampire....
@@patrickamtman4804 no Alexander was an immortal he than passed his immortal genes to his sons Marcus and William and the dormant form of the immortal genes to his human son which than went to micheal. The immortal gene than mutated when Marcus got bitten by the bat and William the wolf. Technically Selene is a vampire/immortal hybrid that carries the actual corvinus immortal gene and blood, micheal is just a lycan/vampire since his immortal gene dormant, Eve by all purposes is not only a direct descendant of Alexander she is a tribrid since she carries the immortal gene unlocked thanks to both her parents lycan/vampire/immortal. Eve also carries alexanders blood thanks to Selene and his unlocked immortal gene thanks micheal cause while micheal’s gene was dormant it got unlocked when he became a hybrid and Selene’s blood mixed with it Eve has the unlocked immortal gene like Alexander, Marcus and William.
Amelia is deserving of a movie of her own. Great content as usual 👏
Would be cool but hard to do
If they could do a prequel for Lucien, shouldn't be hard. Agree, it would be cool.
The way that the actress still looks the same is awesome. I hope they greenlit that movie.
Other than her being attractive, what's the reason she should get movie?
@@Trent-moon She is an elder, a warrior, and victor's lover.
Such BS the way they killed her off like that, she deserved a better write off
Seemed like they just threw her in there for a specific plot point then people liked her so then, they gave her some back story
@@NinjaFox-pe3dv I remeber back when this one came out. If I remember correctly the person who played Amelia was a hungarian model who didn't have much acting experience so that might've been the problem.
In fairness as a first movie it makes sense that they would write characters to be killed off and move the plot forward. Is a shame though
Love that how even though she was barely on screen, her character turned out to be so iconic. Great video!
Shes my favourite elder! I wished her train scene was more akin to the book, her taking out multiple Lycans before being overrun by numbers.
I wish that too. It would've been cool but unfortunetly the person playing Amelia didn't have much acting experience so it might have been hard to do that.
What is the name of the book?
@@chrismurphy5629 underworld by Greg Cox
You know I just had a random thought, that in the first movie on the train Amelia looked really thin like she was already fastening for her upcoming hibernation which would’ve of made her weaker and why she was killed easily
sounds so logical! plus adds to the depth of the world of UW
Would make sense for the timing of them going after her. If the elders start fasting before hibernation, Lucian would know and would have known that was their best chance to get to her.
Im curious when full blooded born vampires stop aging? We never get to see how a pure blood vampire grows up and when they become officially immortal
Amelia is like the bad-ass female vampire death dealer before Selene's time. I hope they make a movie about her founding the 3 covens, especially the new world coven since we haven't seen it yet. With the small but noteworthy lore about Amelia, i feel like seeing her rule is as interesting as seeing Viktor rule with a cunning and ruthless stance. And wouldn't it be so interesting if in that prequel, Amelia takes note of Selene's life, like how does she view Selene, since we already know Viktor sees Selene as a daughter, while Marcus only cares about the memories in her blood about Willaim's prison.
Amelia the most under utilised character in the movie and her death in movie one was so lame. Pretty sure she could have taken most of the werewolves if armed.
She would have gotten eaten the same way lol. They didnt send random wolves. They sent veterans.
I feel like they don't want to overshadow Selene 😩 Amelia's story was amazing I wish they developed it and showed more of her side in the movies 😭
So basically, Amelia was easily defeated in the 1st movie (on top of being ambushed by too much lycans) because she was already weak from fasting. As elders need to do fasting to "sleep"?
Zita Gorog was such an underrated beauty in this series
I liked these films. Back in 2000-2012 when films were films, and not utter shit. I was trying to watch that new 'top film' Furiosa or whatever, it was horrid, couldn't complete watching it; this is a good example that a female heroine can be cool and sexy, not whatever this modern stuff is.
There is a book called Underworld Blood Enemy. It's like an alternative version of rise of the lycans..I'm it you meet viktors wife. Sonja is not a warrior but a normal girly princess. Markus had a son named Nikolai that was betrothed to Sonja. After Sonja's death and Lucian's escape, he tried to hunt Lucian down and was deleted . He was much like Kraven but not a coward.
Viktor was training Sonja to take his place or become the 4th elder it was why he was pissed that she wasn’t there to greet the guests while she was hunting werewolves as she was supposed to be there to learn how to lead. It’s funny if Marcus was awake during this time I doubt he would’ve cared about Sonja and lucian he probably would’ve been more interested in their child.
That is so true. People forgot that Marcus never believed in feeding off humans. His brother was the first werewolf & he wanted Viktor's help in finding his twin brother. I think Lucian talked about Marcus being a good vampire....I not sure.
Great video on Amelia. She was always different from the other elders.
I clicked on this video fast! I wish Amelia had more time in the movies.
with her 3 covens i am guessing she was some kind of diplomatic role, with the two male elders being more fighty fighty they would need a third that could do diplomatic stuff
Always a great job on the videos 😊 Keep up the good work, always enjoy them!
I’m at 3:04, according to records or at least the earliest lines of this. The warlord Victor and the commander of his army were approached. In the last movie it talks about this closeness of Victor and Amelia. Her high status. It has always lead me to believe that Amelia was this commander or leader or whatever the rank is.
Maybe she was some noble women from Viktor because comander of his army it was impossible for her to be do to the fact that she was women and the women wasn't allowed to rule at the time Viktor was turned
@@ralucaflavia5647 That would be a good argument, but Viktor was a warlord. He technically didn’t answer to anyone, he didn’t want to. He could put a boy of 13 to war and nobody could really challenge him. It’s also the matter of historical accuracy. This is a fictional time and place, so we can only apply so much real world logic and understanding. Even then if Amelia was some noble woman, why would she be taking orders from a warlord whom she’s not married to? Viktor had a habit of finding daughters in woman, maybe during some village sacking he had seen Amelia and thought of her as a daughter he either could never have or never did. Until of course Sonja came along, but we meet Sonja when Viktor was already a vampire and Amelia came about before then, if my theory holds true. Even then, Sonja was a fierce warrior. His adopted daughter Selene became a death dealer. So my theory wouldn’t be completely out of the realm of possibilities. More so because there is a whole lot of evidence to serve that.
@@juliettek.9440Boys were at war in Middle Age even with 10 yo, like Ferdinand of Aragón, and with 15/16, even commander troops, as the English "Black Prince", with that age.
@@CBOANDALUCIA Exactly, so if famous stories of boys were at war, why would it be out of the realm of possibilities for a woman to command an army for a warlord? Fictional universe or not.
I think victor was planning on adding sonja in as an elder i don't believe he would replace Amelia if you remember when he finds out about her death in the first film he was devastated 🤔
Yeah viktor was preparing Sonja to take over for him but she missed her duty’s constantly while fighting the werewolves I say werewolves not lycans because they don’t turn back. Than the thing with lucian it was to much for viktor so he killed them sonja and his grandchild the first hybrid though I don’t know if the child would’ve survived because Selene said that blending of the species unless they are direct links back to the corvinus line the virus of both species kill each other. Though lucian was a hybrid himself werewolf/ human so it would technically be lycan/vampire/human.
I never understood though why Marcus didn't just use the "im the original" card to gain power
Love the movies but like so many others has stated, i *HATE* how they treated the elder vampires.
Amelia was one of the oldest elder, she should've been able to early defend herself against raze, even a newly awakened victor in weakened state was able to snap raze's neck with 1 hand... The way Amelia died was just bad writing..
This was a great video, I always thought that Amelia wasn't given enough of a backstory, so when they did Blood Wars, they basically told her story.
So some vampire movies you should cover, that aren’t horror, but are still amazing vampire movies are Only Lovers Left Alive, and Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person. Both are amazing and have great vampires and lore in them.
If one has to organize ones thoughts before giving the bl;ood to wake up a hibernating Elder, then it is possible one can choose what memories (or how far bacK) to pass onto the Elder.
i really hope underworld gets more love, but like not amazon or disney since theyll ruin it.
(also holy fuck i never thought about marcus never getting victors blood, thats why i love what you do.)
First correction, Markus did have a son. In the novel he was killed in a silver mine by Lucian. And I would argue that Markus was the most successful elder, even if he was constantly undermined by Viktor. Markus created the race of vampires. He just lacked the political shrewdness needed to maintain his place as the first and most powerful vampire.
Poor Marcus even in the novel he's tragic
what i know is all the vampires look so damn pretty, i know first time i saw Underworld i dreamed of marrying a vampire woman. If any vampire lady is reading this hmu .
Thanks for the video mate, always appreciate your content.
Wish she could’ve changed things with Marcus especially since Viktor by his admission created the war himself
Will you consider making a video on Nasuverse vampires? I'm not their fan but lore is very interesting and complicated.
So you are a fan of the lore, making you a fan.
In-point-of-fact: In the 'Underworld' franchise, Vampires who were born vampires (rather than being turned into vampires) are *not* referred-to as "purebloods", as they are in the 'Blade' franchise (and wizards and witches of pure ancestry in the 'Harry Potter' franchise); in the 'Underworld' franchise, Vampires who were born vampires are referred-to as "pure *born* vampires".
Pure blood vampire is rare, and not all vampire can carry a child when they turn into vampire.
Well… who would want they’re pals to find out you like older guys… even though its possible that Thomas is younger than Amelia
Amelia was a great charater. Loved how they brought her lore in other movies due to how loved she was. What is your take on the Mikaelson Family and the Vampires from TVD and more importantly the Originals?
Hell yeah brother
Being an Elder she should have been able to kill a Lycon.
After seeing Amelia in the Second movie, I never understood how the Lycans were able to get her this easily. Yes, once transform as a werewolf they are more powerful than your regular vampire, but she felt more powerful than that in the second movie. Like, she could have taken a few werewolf with her. Even just seeing her outside the train with a few Lycans corps would have been much better than what seemed to have happened... she just died at the very beginning of the battle without even fighting.
I think they did her a bit dirty because of that. And already, when she first appears, she's with her court and her protector. Surely, I HOPE that her bodyguard would be more trained than your regular vampire. But I'll stop here because everyone will think that I don't like the movies. Wrong, I LOVE those movies. I just wich Amelia could have gone in a better fashion. Maybe not knowing if there would be a second movie in the making made the director take this direction.
I don't think there's anything special about elder blood other than the elders being much older than other immortals and therefore stronger. Selene says in Evolution to Alexander Corvinus that he is the only one older, the only one stronger than Marcus. He then gives her his blood, which is unique because he's a Corvinus and can directly turn her into an elder strength hybrid strong enough to beat Marcus. The lycan likely wanted Amelia's blood simply because she was the oldest vampire they could get blood from to combine with Michael's and make Lucian the strongest hybrid they possibly could. Michael's blood was the unique one, they could have made Lucian a hybrid using Kraven's blood instead of waiting until they got Amelia's, which probably would have worked out better for Lucian. lol
It's said Selene was as powerful a vampire as she was due to being turned by Viktor's blood. In other words, the closer someone is to Marcus the more powerful the vampiric strain they are infected with. Tanis for instance was shown as being considerably weaker than Selene, despite being at least 400 years older than her. And he was likely comparable in age to Viktor or turned by someone who was...
She spoke in Evolution "we must move quickly before they turn." Was her only sentence.
She also said “Morrreee” while capturing William
underrated and i’m gonna get a lot of flack for this but if they reboot this as a show or other live action media, Bella Hadid would make an excellent Amelia. her face card alone and ethereal presence would be glorious, she reminds me so much of the first time amelia is shown on the train.
Don't get me excited about a detail of this world 🤣This needs to be made into a short high budget series.
By any chance, will you do a recap video on Morbius?
This series had such a well written expansive world
Reminded me of the fiction novel Voyagers of hell. You must read it.
