Message: [QUOTE="LightningmanEXE, post: 169920, member: 142365"] I wound up watching this with a friend who wanted to see it, but not alone. Same friend who wanted me to help them through Resident Evil Netflix, we are basically war buddies at this point. Holy fuck, this is a complete failure of an adaptation. It really drives me crazy when any author/director/writer takes a property, looks at it, and says "nah, I can do better" WHY EVEN MAKE IT THEN?! JUST MAKE YOUR OWN SHOW! oh wait, it's because it would suck and no one would care... This thing has as much to do with the source material as a pumpkin has to do with a jack-lantern... it's the skin of devil may cry with a bunch of cracks cut into it's surface that make it easy to see how all the substance inside it has been gutted and replaced with shitty flashing lights a toddler would think are neat. Everyone mentions how bad lady is, but I can't even call her that, she's ladies weird cousin Woman or something. it's just 100% a completely different character, it she had a different haircut and lacked heterochromia I wouldn't have even assume it was her. Why the fuck are the captain commandos so prevalent in the story? they take a SUBSTANTIALLY bigger role than Dante does, especially considering Woman is one of them. also, this Show the castlvania problem of trying to rationalize magic any way it can, but since it's in a contemporary setting, it has the privilege of sounding even more stupid. "this stone is a supercomputer that creates a quantum field, it's SCIENCE! SWEET MAGICAL SCIENCE!" I love how the only things to get weird cheap CG were Dante's devil trigger form and the horrifyingly mismatched collection of bosses from the actual games. It makes me wonder if the creator just hated including them. I want to say... it's wholly uncreative and stupid to humanize the demons by quite literally humanizing them... you know, making them look like humans. How about you go all the way and try to get us to sympathize things that look like Empusa from DMC5 huh? apparently the message is "treat other races better and not like monsters if they look more like you than their own disgusting brethren." The whole Demon refuge subplot didn't feel even remotely like a Devil may cry story to me, but it was also a dumb analogy that I'm sure the writers jerked each other off to for how smart it sounded to them. You know you fucked up when the best character in the show is Enzo (Who they kill because... uh.. IDK it didn't actually accomplish shit? he basically run himself through with a demons claw for the hell of it.) There were like... maybe a few good ideas and a joke or two that made me laugh... but ultimately this was just pain. [/QUOTE]
