That’s fair. Hey iam-yourqueen, maybe you can field this one! 

What is coolness? Having Lestat as your hopelessly devoted personal boytoy would denote some level of cool, for sure, aside from the reason(s) WHY that is. Being able to fly, having pyrokineses, telekinesis, looking hot in vintage dresses, these are all pretty cool things!

Y’know, cool or not cool, I actually think Akasha is a really dynamic character. She was convinced in her own rightness all the way to the end. She couldn’t have any doubt in herself or her plan, one crack and the dam would burst. To admit she might be wrong would mean she was not a goddess. 

There are actual people like her (past/present/future) who try to take over the world “for the good of everyone.” But at what cost?
