Thinking Baout Their Interactions And Realizing They Know Very Different Dantes

the game was alright :D👌

Taking an evolutionary anthropology class has made me hate Netflix DMC's use of demons as a metaphor for different races even more

RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT! DIFFERENCES IN PHYSICAL FEATURES ACROSS DIFFERENT POPULATIONS VARIES WIDELY EVEN WITHIN ONE ETHNIC GROUP, AND THEY ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO SPECIFIC PEOPLES! HOW WE CLASSIFY RACE IN ONE COUNTRY ISN'T GOING TO BE THE SAME IN ANOTHER!

BY TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT DEMONS ARE A SUBSPECIES OF HUMAN, YOU END UP REINFORCING THE IDEA THAT DIFFERENT RACES ARE INFACT BIOLOGICALLY DESTINED TO BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY TO THE "DEFAULT"! YOU CANNOT MAKE AN ANTI-RACISM METAPHOR USING AN IDEA THAT HAS BEEN USED TO ENFORCE RACISM

Found this interesting little titbit on the Devil May Cry TV Tropes page. Effectively; Vergil was designed to be simped over.

You know there's something fundementally wrong when DMC2 has better story and themes than a Netflix show produced by The Visionary

Things that DMC2 does better than NDMC:

Dante looks hotter

the idea of Dante pretending to leaving things to fate by flipping a coin but then revealing the coin was rigged meaning he always wanted to help people is actually really cool and gives him a better dimension than stealing Nero's arc

you can feel sorry for Lucia because she's more than a "tough" swearword dispenser

continues the theme of humanity representing more the concept of heart, emotions and compassion than being simply a race

"A king? Here's your crown"

better graphics than whatever CGI abominations were present in the anime

mfw the worst game in the series still has more salvageable traits than the visionary's adaptation

MAY 3RD

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.
