I am okay with TV/film/etc adaptions of video games not being 1000% faithful.

[Metroid_Hybrid]

An adaptation should respect the source material but it doesn't need to perfectly replicate it I think the original Resident Evil did a really good job of this

lol..

 

[BrawlMan]

Still one of my personal favorites with Nocturne.

 

[BigTony]

I still would have preferred Romero's original script though. Respectful and much more accurate compared to the first Anderson film.

I have mixed feelings on the Romero script Its not a bad script and I love Romero but I personally prefer something original set in the same world over a retelling of the same story we already know

I refused to watch the Castlevania show because I didn't want to see Alucard get railed. I also heard it has some very blasphemous and anti Christian stuff which is pretty weird for a serious about a Christian guy that kills demons

It would have been acceptable for me at the time, and still now, because the man knew how to direct a horror film.

I refused to watch the Castlevania show because I didn't want to see Alucard get railed.

That only happens in the third season of the original show and never gets brought up ever again. I am not defending that scene either, and even hardcore fans of either show pretends it never happens, or glad those twins get killed.

. I also heard it has some very blasphemous and anti Christian stuff which is pretty weird for a serious about a Christian guy that kills demons

It ain't "anti-Christian". It just has commentary and points out those use religion to hurt others or use to excuse their bigotry and their own corruption. Something some people still have not learned today, or do in the real world. I've seen worse from "mature adult animated comedies" that either copy South Park or Rick & Morty.

I don't even think making Alucard gay would be that big of a deal if they didn't make him a bottom lol.

I think it did a good job at copying the over the top action that the series was starting to shift towards with Code Veronica

 

[Retro Doomer]

Your right they don't need to be 1000% be accurate but at least be 100% be

but seriosuly not they can adapt of course but I still believe they should be Faithfull to the source material to a extend it should actually feel like the game and not like something completely unrelated.

But Imagine how funny it be if they would actually implement the grinding and Item menu in a Movie ;) hillarious,but well Interpretation can be good but don't turn something to something it was not I hate lecturing and getting lectured especially by big corps also portraying some of the Demons in Devil May cry Netflix as middle eastern people,low key kind of racist.

maybe it was coincidence maybe it was not but giving demons Turbans really Netflix ??? anyhow I am going off topic or am I ?

Well I did not like the Netflix adaptation of Devil Mary cry very much.

I am gonna stick with Frieren instead.

I... uh, I think I've missed an episode.

I know that vampires always had some sexual connotations and sometimes being a metaphors about doing it outside of marriage (and regardless of gender which was socially unacceptable back then) yet for a show about that game series it sounds really out of place.

I also heard it has some very blasphemous and anti Christian stuff which is pretty weird for a serious about a Christian guy that kills demons.

I don't know what's blasphemous about the show. The Church had many issues through the ages and the epoch it portrays may have been one of those moments but I think it's mostly about how some people from it are corrupted (like Frollo) but once again I think Castlevania should be about a family chasing vampires, critic of the dogma isn't really the subject the franchise has ever tackled and the only religious reference are the way Dracula gets defeated.

The author wanted to make a point yet failed at it.

What's the deal with trying to humanise demons in modern shows? As if humans are the actual monsters (I know that we're also quite good in term of evil deeds but there are also good humans while demons are inherently meant to mislead people).

That is on the same level as people who compared orcs with minorities to tell it was wrong to portray them as villains...


District 9 is a largely much better metaphor about this subject.

Despite hating everything Adi Shankara has made I still have some respect for the guy his projects all have a level of sencerity that's you rarely see these days.

Excluding the Netflix adaptation of Devil May cry of course.

 

[zombie100379]

i was thinking about watching all the mila jovovich resident evil movies - i saw the first one many years ago and don't remember it being too good but i am hoping that the whole saga might be alright in a "big pile of trash but a fun pile of trash" sort of way. (i do realise they have barely any connection to storyline of the games)

 

[BrawlMan]

Bisexual. Also, he was still and teenager with the body of a full man because he grew up fast. It's implied and pointed out in the second season when he and Sypha talk.

Was it terrible? absolutely! but I also think it was sincerely made.

 

[BrawlMan]

Season 2 is way much better. 8/10, and they actually made Arius an incredible threat. Also, that video is way too doomer and cynical for its own good.

It's ironic you mentioned that as them and DMC fans crossbreed. Here's a show that gives them gray morality we with demons, yet they cry about it, but want the same for Frieren. You can't have it both ways people.

I will give you some gifts, @Retro Doomer.

No. That stops pretty much at the second film.

I don't think the comparison can be directly applied as-is. Just because both series contain creatures known as "demons," it doesn't mean that they are the same type of entity at all. In the world of Frieren, "demons" are not explicitly supernatural beings (like they are in the DMC universe), but just a long-lived, highly intelligent creature in the world with a hyper-affinity for magic (which other species are capable of using too, just to a much lesser degree). Also, I could be wrong but, I think the demons of Frieren do not sexually reproduce (evidenced by how they don't know what a "mother" is despite using it as a "magical word"). But even if they did– we humans, for example, can't cross-breed with our "livestock" (which is how the demons perceive humans), thus making the prospect of a half-demon hybrid in that world highly improbable, if not impossible..
Or to put it another way... A demon/human-hybrid in Frieren's universe would be more akin to an Orc/Human-hybrid in the Lord of the Rings universe, than something from DMC..

 

[BrawlMan]

I know the difference between the two franchises and both shows in this case, but I just find it hilarious. You have one side of the fandom, where they want demons to have gray areas or all not be totally evil. While the other show, you have evil demons, but more than a few gray demons are shown, yet people complain about that one. Which is further ironic because the game series states that there are a very few demons that act more like humans, but you really don't see it much other than some side characters in the 2007 anime. Or Phineas from DmC, though he is more of a grey area compared to the some of the characters present in the 2007 anime.

 

[youbeprofenlol]

I am mainly glad that it (seems) like video game movies/shows have started having people who care on the teams, ie, Witcher season 1, the new Dungeons and Dragons, Sonic movies. I don't mind if things are a bit different in story and characters, as long as the rule of cool still stands, but a lot of the 90s-10s game movies were just so blatant that they didn't care and they weren't going to care. But I think the fact that a lot of those movies have to lose a good portion of money for them, while watching things like sonic make an incredible amount. Like Assassin's Creed and Farcry movies, like man what lmao. But a little fan service goes a long way, that's how i felt about the new DnD movie, it didn't TAKE a story, just name dropped a lot of cool places, and felt more like a "Forgotten Realms" movie instead of a "Wizards of the Coast Presents Dungeons and Dragons".
That being said, I am pretty excited for the new Resident Evil movie, looks super different from the og movies and I welcome that.

 

[Metroid_Hybrid]

But there isn't ANY "grey" demons in the Frieren universe. That's the reason why certain people got big-mad about the concept of humanoids that are (only) unambiguously evil (like LotR Orcs) who use language only to manipulate ("magic words"). This was pretty explicitly spelled out early-on via flashbacks to Flamme's exposition, and the "Hero party's" encounter with the young demon girl in the village..

 

[BrawlMan]

But there isn't ANY "grey" demons in the Frieren universe.

No shit, Sherlock. That's what the amusing thing I was pointing out about certain parts about the Frieren fandom. They want to "grey" demons in a universe that is not about that, yet at the same time, you have certain DMC fans who hate the ideas of "grey" demons, but they have been explored, but mainly in the 2007 anime only twice, and once with DmC (2013). These fans do crossbreed with each other. How you miss the point most of time, or go on about something that has nothing to do anything when proven wrong or anything that upset you is beyond me. Not stretching this out, because you're never worth it at all.

I was just focusing on one part because I know far less about DMC... sheesh..
Why are you so angry all the time??

 

[BrawlMan]

So on to much more important matters: The Cuphead Show is awesome. We got three seasons of awesome there.
