Real hot girl sh!t
Needed to practice drawing men for my ocs' story and uh well dante just kinda trickster'd his way into the sheet lol
Why do you think the DMC fandom reacted with such vitriol to the show, unlike other fandoms like Sonic or CV? Personally, while NDMC is not a good product in any way, not even as its own thing because it's either dull or offensive, I didn't find it that inherently worse than NCFV or Nocturne or anything related to Sonic.
Is it because the fandom is bigger? Because fans are not so starved they would eat dirt, like CV fans in 2017? Or because this format of snarky adaptations that only tangentially adapt famous games in the series is finally growing stale?
I am being sincere when I say that I think that DmC Devil May Cry gave them antibodies.
This series has been through LITERALLY the EXACT same thing before. A western produced "new continuity" that loses the heart and soul of the original games while wiping its ass with the characterization and thematic intentions of those games, and is bloated to the brim with americacentric political commentary that's so on the nose that even people who agree with it should be annoyed.
It is one to one exactly the same product. And the people who DEFENDED that game were saying the EXACT same things that the people who are sucking off the netflix show are saying. Word for word.
The body can fight off an infection more easily the second time around.
Other game franchises haven't really had that experience, not really. Castlevania had Lords of Shadow, but that wasn't... icky. In the way that Netflixvania was. You know? It was just its own thing, it wasn't an offensive selfish mockery of everything that the franchise and characters were about. Even in the way that continuity made drastic changes to Trevor/Alucard and Dracula himself, it really did feel like it was just a new take. Whereas Netflixvania felt like it was actively saying that the video games were stupid, the characters from the games were nonexistent, and what they were creating was superior in every way.
It's like a pretentious spitefulness. That's how I would describe the likes of DmC Devil May Cry and Netflix May Cry, and Netflixvania and IDW Sonic and the Paramount Halo live action show ect ect. Shlock made by narcissists who think they're creating REAL ART out of an inferior source material.
DMC is also unique I think in the fact that after DmC Devil May Cry happened, we did end up getting DMC5 later. A return to the original continuity, and it was wildly popular and successful. So there was a vindication for the OG fans thanks to the new game. So the Netflix show feels even more egregious in the face of that.
Silly dmc 3 Dante.

quick little rant thingy because DMC reddit just pissed me off
I hate how so many people in the DMC fandom fall for Dante's party guy shtick and genuinely believe him to be as dumb as a rock . For example an argument i see often for this is his inability pay off his debts/rant . People believe he's simply too dumb to manage any money when in reality it's stemmed from the fact that he has little to no consideration for his well being and puts others' needs before his,rather than his own lack of intelligence. Like Grue's daughters,whom he sends money to support them--or Enzo,his ex middleman. Even in the anime he goes on his way to save his client's brother,without getting proper payment.
Other than that,again in the anime he proves himself to be a worthy-occult detective and how great he can be at reading people. His office also has a decent amount of books lying around showing that yes,he does read and value knowledge
Not saying he's smartest out there,but he is in no way as stupid as people make him out to be.
