Why the Most Powerful Vampire Still Has a Boss

What happens when you're powerful enough that nobody can physically stop you? Dracula Untold and Underworld both explore an interesting contradiction in the fantasy of supernatural power. Vlad can tear through an army. Marcus is one of the oldest and most powerful vampires alive. Yet neither is truly free from the authority, obligations, and relationships surrounding him. This video looks at the difference between power and authority, and why becoming stronger than everyone else doesn't necessarily put you in control. From Vlad's bargain and the Master Vampire's cave to Marcus Corvinus's centuries-long relationship with Viktor, these stories reveal a limitation that brute strength can't overcome. Because being impossible to overpower isn't the same thing as having nothing left to lose. Films discussed: Dracula Untold (2014) Underworld series
