So yeah, there was another vampire from the fang gang named killer.... He was actually black... That's why I didn't connect the dots.
But killer was actually nice ... So naturally fans are pissed they made him a white vampire rapist.....
It was cool name drop for a throw away character... Lol
Kiler and baby Jenks were two random ass vampires that only existed in the first chapter of Queen of the Damned. They did absolutely nothing but exist to get killed by Akasha. So to use Killer like this..a random vampire that meets and rapes Claudia.... Yeah that's way different... But more impactful to the development of Claudia.
Claudia never ventures off to college and all that.... That was 100% new for the show.... But like I was saying earlier... You can do shit like that with an older Claudia... Have get to to colleges.... Have her get raped and it's not horrific it as it would be to a 6 or 12 year old actress....
I love the touch of her not being able to make vampires. She never did that in the books either.... But it works because the book implies she didn't have enough blood or strong enough blood to turn someone. And she 100% ran into monsters like the one she created. And those are in the novels. What she made wasn't human clearly, but it wasn't fully a vampire....
It was essentially a zombie. It still drinks blood... But it can't turn any more than what it already was. And it definitely could not turn anything else. It has no intelligence. The book never calls them zombies.... But that's what they are
