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.
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.
There will never be another person do AKASHA like Aaliyah she loved the books she studied vampires and to see she died after making her favorite movie/book!! She will always be Akasha. Rest in paradise beautiful ❣️
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.
Aaliyah delivered no other. Everything Anne Rice wrote and wanted Akasha to be was embodied by Aaliyahs performance of her. And more. RIP A•A•L•I•Y•A•H 🕊️
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.
@@0m3gaph03nix Perhaps so. However it would be fair game to say that unless a new movie is created, this is the only representation of her and Aaliyah was awesome. I still get goosebumps watching her walk and move on the dance floor.
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.
As good an interpretation of this character I've ever read. It's almost impossible to get a completely accurate read on Akasha since everyone who knew her best either worshiped her or absolutely hated her
@@elijahhayes8615 it depends they might mix books 2 and 3 together since they already included parts of book 2 in season 2 so she might apear in the last episodes of season 3 and then go on to be the main antagonist of season 4
I hope the TV series really does her justice and fully explores her story in ways the movie couldn't. Lestat briefly mentions her and Enkil in the first season.
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.
@@BiggSheppTheManMythAndLegendlearn a new word. You mouth breathers have ran "woke" into the ground. It pretty much just means anything you don't like. They have made a Interview with the Vampire series, and it's fucking awesome! Have fun being miserable and refusing to enjoy anything because it's all "woke".
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.
Yey.✨.. honestly Anne Rice writing is amazing...it most be hard to translate by movies cause there's alot of details. All her characters could have their own movie 🍿 Akasha is interesting..the perception of eternity is well developed ect .. good video 🙂
Honestly the interest in Akasha is because of Singer Aaliyah’s amazing performance she was positively beautifully ferocious in the role interesting character but Aaliyah brought her to life
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?" 😅
I absolutely loved this book and Akasha, but hated the end when she died. The characterization and world building was superb. 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.
I liked her character, but I can't really see her as a good character. She was a tyrannical queen, who ordered the suffering and violation of the red haired twins. She later, after being awakened in the twentieth century, embarks on a mission to rid the earth of the entire male population. She was a monster amongst monsters.
I liked Memnoch mainly because she mentioned an idea I found interesting: if you never truly left your godhood and you always knew what was going to happen, then you never lived like a true human being, with mortality and uncertainty.
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.
She quiet literally stamped one of her followers flat. Okay, less stamped and more walked. And Memnoch is a great book. Her descriptions of heaven and hell are just incredible. Made me never want to see either one of them.
I would like a modified mini series of Queen of the Damned revisioned It had great elements to be a really good ultimate Anne Rice villain book 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. I loved your previous ❤video of her character origin by and by❤
She has to have a new movie, or show that actually explores her character from beginning to end. They can dedicate it to Aaliyah in the end or at the beginning. The first movie did nothing for her at all.
I loved the books but honestly the movie didn’t do it justice in my opinion Aaliyah was a great actress but I felt like her death rushed the movie which left too much out
You have explained it perfectly and beautifully. It made sense about human life begore becoming the vampire. But she was already corrupted before her vampirism began by the information you have shared.
I want them to do akasha’s story justice(Aaliyah did a phenomenal job and I loooooooove obsessively her portrayal) but I really want a origin story of her so I can see that beginning and that evil.
i enjoyed parts of memnoch, though it really could have just been a lot shorter. the body thief, IMO, was the worst. but then after armand, the money grab & mediocre sequels, prequels, side-quels, etc.
There's a lot of talented, exotic and beautiful young actresses who would like to prove themselves in tackling this most coveted titular role. With the advent of the Immortal Universe with the Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire, they'll have that once in a lifetime opportunity to make it happen.
BLOOD AND GOLD is my favorite. Merrick, black wood farm, Pandora, and the vampire Lestat are fantastic 👌 I love them all. The Mayfair witch trilogy and blood canticle is awesome.
So can we get movie about her!! Id love to see this on the screen!!! If you think about it they had choosen the right part for Aaliyah to play Akasha Because Aaliyah was seen as something so pure like Akasha was before to much power .... And later the innocence would be takin away because of that power !!
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.
Sad how nobody yet has replied to your lovely comment. I hope to see, ore people jump into this thread and add their ideas and comments because it's such a great idea you've proposed. ❤
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 agree with you on Queen of the damn being one of the last ones that's great in the series but dude you didn't like tail of the body thief I put tale of the body thief as like my number one or number two favorite book in the whole series for some reason I love it
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?
Yeah, The Queen of the Damn who was sucked dry by her little mosquitoes!! She was supposed to be the most POWERFUL vampire!!! She shouldn't have been killed like that, not that easily!!
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
Yes. He realized he loved the taste of blood after licking Akashas wounds. He then entwined himself in her blood and brings her back from death, therefore creating the first vampire.
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.
Eu sou do Brasil e eu sou muito parecida com a grande atriz Aalyah gostaria muito de ter uma chance de me apresentar ao diretor da série tenho certeza que vcs vão ficar bastante surpresos farei o meu melhor agradeço desde já
@@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.
I mean think about it ladies and gentlemen Aaliyah is and always will be the original OG triple threat of the entertainment industry she thinks she can dance and she can act besides some rules are just suited for specific people
It's the best book of the series if you ask me.. Interview I found rather slow, Vampire Lestat i loved, Body thief was good.. Hated memnoch...Loved the vampire Armand, but Blood and Gold is right up there for me
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?
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…. 😳
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.
Like Imelda Marcos 😅

I read this book in high school a long with most of Anne rices vampire chronicles
You didn't talk about how the blood demon came about!! Maharet and Mekare brought the demon with them.
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.
Fk twigs should play Akasha in the show as she did such a gorgeous homage to Aaliyah in her two weeks video
The twins were separated *after* Amil attacked Akasha and made her a vampire.
I did not like Mennoch The devil either. The Vampire Lestat and Queen Of The Dammed are my favorites from the series.
Definitely her best two books!
My favorite part was Akosha dancing in the vampire club❤
First which is great because vampire folklore is so great.
I like Memnoch the Devil its been 20 years since i have read it and i still think about parts of it
You need to read the Mayfair witches.
Question, is it possible that Rice's Akasha is the same vampire as Robert Howard's Akivasha, who appears in Hour of the Dragon?
Wonder who will play her in the series?
I like Dewanda Wise for the role.
Akasha fascinates me, she is a beautiful and ruthless vampire
ah ok! this makes more sense because I had read Ramses the Damned prior to Queen of the Damned.
These next of Seasons of IWAV bout to be 🔥🔥🔥 Akasha rises again!
When are you going to do a werewolf channel that focuses on werewolf folklore ❓
Lol for what werewolves are like the boring step sibling and all of this nobody cares about the werewolves lol
I would love to see Coco Jones as Akasha
They should make a show about it. Just like they did with interview with a vampire.

How did she become a vampire mother of vampires ?
When she was stabbed and dying as her spirit was leaving her body the evil spirit Amel went into her hence making her the fist Vampire.
I mean it was spelled out in the books
Is this also based off Anne Rice books?
I mean think about it ladies and gentlemen Aaliyah is and always will be the original OG triple threat of the entertainment industry she thinks she can dance and she can act besides some rules are just suited for specific people
If you read the book, then you would know that the movie's portrayal of Akasha was very shallow.
It's the best book of the series if you ask me.. Interview I found rather slow, Vampire Lestat i loved, Body thief was good.. Hated memnoch...Loved the vampire Armand, but Blood and Gold is right up there for me
Shes a vampire
I think one day I will become a devil too because I am too disappointed with humans
No one can do Queen Akasha better than aaliyah did.
Nepthus and Set the splitting of South and North Egypt Story
I love listening to history stories
They would appear to be "totalitarian" rulers? No shit... they WERE king and queen after all...
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?
I enjoyed the vampire chronicles queen of the damned was amazing
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….
😳
Part 2 please
Love this book!
