I actually played them, moron. That is why I used these examples, because I know what I am talking about. I didn't get my opinions from 4 hour long video essays praising these games, which is where I assume you got them from.

I am sorry if other people can notice the same problems as I do. You are not entitled to receive a unique opinion from every person you encounter in life.
How much of a frick up he was is up for debate. Most of what we know of Commodus comes from Cassius Dio who hated him. Still a terrible emperor, though.

Haven't played them all. I'd guess he is the final boss in most castlevanias, but at least in the first you don't spare him and he comes to haunt humanity. He is just a tenacious butthole.

sounds based to me

Commodus was just a product of his father.

What game?

In what castlevania? I thought you killed dracula and the castle crumbles in the first game.
Isn't Dracula the final antagonist in every game tho?
