why did they make the game about vampires into a show about slavery and black people?
please tell me they didn't do this
Bringing awareness to social issues is more important than your video game stories, chud.
>social issues
So you're going to reference how slavery still happens in Asia and the Middle East or would that be racist?
We don't know yet, it's obvious the vampires want rule over humans as the elites.
One of the main characters is indeed a black man that was a slave. But in general a big part of the plot is that the vampires that want to rule the world literally want to turn human being into cattle. But it's not like the show tries to shove a message of "slavery bad" in your face.
So far they haven't, no. There's like one black dude in it and he's not out of place. Actually p[retty badass character tbh. The angle is Vampires looking to set up a world empire and enslave humanity as cattle. If anything, it can be taken as a warning about israelites.
>There's like one black dude in it and he's not out of place.
The Black personcattle brain at work
have you seen the show? you'd probably like his character, he's based.
starts with j and ends with ews
Because vampires are directly related to slavery and black people you fricking moron. Read a book for once in your miserable life.
>New York time be-
Not reading goyslop…
Your entire life is nothing but goyslop. You’re the goyslop that slid out from between your mother’s goyslop ridden fricksocket.
Still not reading
Didn’t think the product of a goyslop wench could even read to begin with, so no hard feeling.
Why you obsessing about slavery?
>goes from using a fictional account as evidence as a parody
>to unironically supporting fictional account as allegory
You're very moronic, aren't you.
I liked the movie
european vampires are an allegory for homosexuals and the fear they spread will spread their "disease." Has nothing to do with black people. You could say african people have aids and that spreads through the blood so therefore they are aidsvampires but I doubt they'd let netflix go that far
Don't forget homosexualry. Every show about vampires needs homosexuals for some reason.
Thats carmillias fault for being a dyke since she predates Drac, women love vampires and you know what else women like? Fujo shit
Vampirism is an AIDS metaphor
>concept created in the 1800s is an AIDS metaphor
but being a vampire is literally the opposite of having aids in every way
so close, but so stupid. AIDS didn't exist when vampirism was thought up. it is a metaphor about the allure of sexuality, which is a metaphor that anyone with a 6th grade reading level can pick up on you troglodyte homosexual
The juice.
because the writer is literally an atheist homosexual
cant confirm if israelite too.
>confirm if israelite too

Made by Americans. It's their religion. They're just using whatever brand name they can get their hands on to shove their religion down your throat.
Why dont they do vampire hunter D show then?
YOU VILL BE REMINDED TO FEEL GUILTY FOR THINGS THAT HAPPENED MANY GENERATIONS AGO
cry more homosexual
Mad
Is this going to be the only time in the series where the long list of innocent nameless victims are actually going to be depicted sympathetically? Or are the named characters the only concern and they get off easily.
>Isaac was the worst character.
He is only second to Dracula.
>His whole "Why are people prejudiced against my demon army" shtick was unbearable
This is why there is no such thing as diversity done right. People are so quick to "prove" that they aren't racist that they praised this homosexual.
>and the show wants you to find him cool or at least to "love to hate" him for massacring innocents for the 2737363th time when he's just a reddit antinatalist (secular manichean).
I never got the impression that the show wanted me to hate him.
>Netflix
>Ever not being about slavery and black people
>shitflix
They fricking deserve it. Especially after that whole Alucard fiasco.
Who the frick is they?
The fans? They eat the slop with pleasure
Netflix? They make bank, the previous seasons were popular

corruption is rampant in all human institutions but somehow the church today is both more moralist and more corrupted than it has even been.
In weakness they found hypocrisy, much like the protestards and the mudslimes.
yeah bro netflix is really bad about changing stories that's what the thread is about
did you think you were being profound by agreeing that netflix is corrupt?
Not in castlevania lore
Castlevania already covered this in order of eclessia but without shitting on religion in an edgy way
To be honest Lisa was either burned or crucified, I don't remember how exactly they describe it in SoTV.
Por que no los dos?
Iirc SoTN shows her as being burned on the crucifix.
As in: burned on the stake, but crucified instead.
how to instantly start an argument about castlevania: post this image, reply with nothing except the sentence "ecclesia means church"
She’s burned on a cross with literal priests presiding over the event.
Like, there’s two people who look like priests with two guards/soldiers also present. The show changed many things but this one aspect that is completely accurate, given what little detail is provided.
As seen here:
>Like, there’s two people who look like priests with two guards/soldiers also present. The show changed many things but this one aspect that is completely accurate, given what little detail is provided.
Lisa dying yes, but that was not the origin of Dracula´s hate in game. That scene is just the succubus toying with Alucard.
Based, catholicucks getting exposed. You will all burn in hell while we, the chosen ones, will go to heaven.
>it's another "Ganker fiegns outrage over something republican despite always being a left of center shithole" episode
2016 homosexuals really need to fricking kill themselves
Should have used Charlotte too since she's a literal witch also employed by the church.
this is how you know gays who praise "subverting expectations" in stories aren't genuine.
the Catholic Church is one of the most relentlessly slandered institutions on the planet (some gay men sneaking into priesthood isnt the own you think it is, gay-enabler)
So SURELY a GOOD writer would subvert my expectations and make the Church le good for once, right?
I thought the Belmonts were Orthodox
Yeah they were
Netflix changed it to chatolic tho
Yes, the Catholic Church was (maybe still is) bad, & has been oppressing people for hundreds of years. Is this new to you?
I really don't care what modern people considers evil anymore.
Why should your group be immune to criticism?
When has "my group" ever been immune to criticism? The Modern West worships trannies and Black folks and considers not worshipping them to be evil. Why should I care about these people considers evil?
Take your meds schizo
I'm a chud, too. Republican voter who hates trannies & Muslims, & I'm willing to criticize Christianity & the Catholic Church.
I dont agree with you but i respect you not being a tribalistic cuck.
>I really don't care what modern people considers evil anymore.
That's pretty clear given you are defending an organization that was caught in a massive pedophile cover up that went all the way to the top. This isn't even a debate, even the pope admits he was a part of it. The Catholic church did all this to themselves homosexual, I lived in a predominantly Catholic town and that shit came to light when I was in highschool. I watched it turn almost my entire generation that I went to school with away from the faith. Based on statistics I've seen that's pretty common too. Huge drop in faith in the church after they decided God wanted them to cover up some pedophile rapes for him.
>That's pretty clear given you are defending an organization that was caught in a massive pedophile cover up that went all the way to the top
Is funny how the depiction of the church in a fantasy game series about fantasy vampires make people to start vomiting their atheism.
I'm not an atheist and never said in that post I was. Catholics are scum buddy. You worship an empire of pedophiles and pedophile apologists and as I said, none of them even deny it anymore.
>I'm not an atheist and never said in that post I was. Catholics are scum buddy. You worship an empire of pedophiles and pedophile apologists and as I said, none of them even deny it anymore.
I'm not catholic, but is funny to see how anti-catholics or atheists start vomiting their ideas like if they are saying anything new. Religious fanatics are annoying but atheists are even more annoying because they are repetitive as frick.
I like how you both avoid explaining how you reconcile pedophiles being at the top of your church and covering for other pedophiles by talking about literally anything else. Like what exactly do you guys think? Raping kids is ok? Covering it up is ok? All the priests and bishops that admitted they covered it up were lying? I repeat, any church, not just Catholics, whose leadership covers up child rape are scum and so are the people that choose to ignore it. Also yeah buddy in terms of Catholics it is a relatively new rhetoric because they only got caught raping kids about two decades ago. Not really sure why how "new" the opinion is matters though. Hey you know what else isn't "new"? Your religion, guess you should stop following because it's not "new". Holy shit you two are dumb.
>I like how you both avoid explaining how you reconcile pedophiles being at the top of your church
Not my church, I dont care, Im here because I like castlevania games and the lore. I like Kung fu movies but I don't care if china frick with the Tibet.
You sound obsessed. A priest played with your anus?
It's not your church and you claim to not care yet you jumped into the conversation anyway. You're either lying to me, lying to yourself or just a horrible person. "Oh someone is saying pedophilia is bad, I should mock this person". Yeah dude, you're a rockstar.
>It's not your church and you claim to not care yet you jumped into the conversation anyway
Nah, you are repetitive and boring as frick. Imagine you have a game series and a show about monster and vampires and you are here talking dumb shit.
I'm here talking shit that directly relates to the themes of the show and what happens in it. I also didn't start that conversation but I am the one you choose to fixate on and insult. Why was that? Clearly something I said touched a nerve because that's a long reply chain you specifically choose to jump in and insult me. I don't believe you aren't a Catholic frankly. If you really aren't then I touched a nerve in some other way. I can't see any other reason a guy that "doesn't care" picked my post out of a 50 post chain to reply to. It's clearly not just the topic that set you off, it's what I said about it.
>I'm here talking shit that directly relates to the themes of the show and what happens in it.
You are talking about pedos, why should I care about pedos if the thread is about castlevania?
>you choose to fixate
You are fixate with the church.
>I don't believe you aren't a Catholic
I don't need to be a catholic to see you are obsessed.
No one here is your buddy troon.
>That's pretty clear given you are defending an organization that was caught in a massive pedophile cover up that went all the way to the top.
I don't defend the public schooling system.
>That's pretty clear given you are defending an organization that was caught in a massive pedophile cover up that went all the way to the top.
Yeah that tends to happen when libshit troons like you pressure the Church to ordain homosexuals who then proceed to predictably abuse their newfound authority to molest little altar boys. BTW you wanna talk about the absolutely insane rates of abuse happening with teachers and social workers than eclipse anything that the Church has done in that regard?
Not in the canon of the game series buddy, try again.
Thank this genius. Religi-Christianity is evil, mkay? brb gotta sexually assault the new secretary.
Wrong board
I honestly like the first series despite its flaws.
Though I am concerned with what they are going to do with Ricther.
Gay buttsex is NOT off the table at netflix!
>Alucardgays still haven't recovered
Besides the Alucard gay seggs which was completely unnecessary and uncalled for, I enjoyed the whole series. Albeit, season 4 was too rushed and became anti climatic. Plus the fight with Death was a let down. Regardless it was enjoyable despite it not being like the game but this new one looks really bad and disappointing. Richter looks like a whiny baby and Maria is a boss b***h now? Olrox is a nig which isn't completely a bad thing seeing as how I prefer black Issac. But, Richter's main chick is a black chick That is when lines are drawn. The plot doesn't even look interesting now that Dracula became a good guy. It's over. Time for a reboot.
I'm on a wait and see approach, if by some chance the show is actually good.
Trailers can can sometimes give the wrong impression of a movie or show.
Same. Im still going to watch it and hope it isnt bad.
What gets me about the sex scene is that nobody talks about anything before or after it, despite the fact Alucard beheads both of them immediately afterwards. It's weird how focussed people are just on the act of anal sex alone
The whole point of the storyline is to remind Alucard and viewers that the people killing the evil blood sucking demons are just as bad if not worst and Trevor and Sypha are just exceptions. There are hints of this like Alucard showing disgust at the display of systematic killing of "his people" and how Trevor considers "his kind" and Death to be just killers that need to be gone from this world. Instead "Die monster, you don't belong in this world", it is "muh building thing".
Considering the trailer of Nocturne has Orlox say that Richter's mom killed someone important to him then he spares him and how the he has to team up the good guys for the greater good (it was framed as him being "the better man"), the show is continuing the trend of saying that people who kill the bloodsucking pedophiles are just as bad as the bloodsucking pedophiles.
This works better when you think of vampires as a metaphor for Hollywood elites as to reflect how Ellis and his ilk see themselves.
It says alot that Hollywood hacks saw Death as the bigger threat than Dracula because "Lol Skeletor". Not even the actual bigger threats of the games like fricking Chaos or Galamoth or something because all they can think about is how they'll all die of obesity by 50.
>Galamoth
is a fricking creampuff I can kill that guy in my sleep
Vampires in Netflix Castlevania are the badguys in the same way that most of the badguys in X-Men are mutants. The helpless innocent people that were slaughtered were only an afterthought in the show. Vampires represent the elites but the Hollywood elites are both debaucherous and self-righteous believing that they are both intellectually and morally superior to the "rednecks" (human mortals). The demonization of Death and apologia of Dracula shows how they view vampires as the "pneumatics" who escape the evils of the world like Death.
It's because the show is a fricking mess with no cohesive plan and it especially fell apart after Dracula died
None of that explains why people hyperfocus on the gay sex years after the fact
It's easy to meme. There's not much fun to say from
>The pacing sucks
>morons in a basement
>Budget kicks in for 30 seconds once a season
So you get memes about Alucard getting gayed on and Death going FRICKSHITDICKFRICKFRICKwienerASSBALLSSHITFRICKYOU

Nice pacing, 10/10 show, really captures the essence of being a castlevania fan.
>I am so morally insolvent, and hold no strong convictions whatsoever, that I can tolerate a beloved character engaging in homosexual sodomy in the context of aggravated rape

SHEEP, ALL OF YOU! SHEEP I SAY!!
At least she doesn't look like a man with a square jaw (yes the standard really is that low)
I miss when black girls were cute
I find funny that the current politically correct narrative for having black girls is that you have to make them "look black"(seemingly meaning ugly) because otherwhise they are just white chicks with dark skin (like your examples) and that's racist.

Yes, I miss those times too, when alleged africans in media looked like extremely tanned europeans or looked like mongrels with ~75% european DNA.
As soon as photorealistic Black folk made an appearance, the resultant creations have consistently been lovecraftian, because Black folk and shitskins are ugly and dysgenic.
You need very tight micro-evolution to select for symmetry, heterozygous recessive alleles, proportionality. You need assortative mating, and strict adherence to major histocompatibility complex selection.
There's a reason white people are universally considered the most attractive race, and all other races engage in epigenetic ornamentalism to approximate white features, even without prior exposure to white people. Whitening creams, hair-straightening, eye-fold surgery, chin/jaw surgery, colored contacts, chemical/radiation tanning, et cetera. The other races were so obsessed with approximating europeans, that they went as far as to adopt their fashion, architecture, musical scores, and literary devices.
An anime based on her artstyle could've looked so good.
That would cost way too much money. That sort of surrealistic watercolor animation is hard to animate v.s. the streamlined anime trash stuff, and most of the time your audience just wants to eat up faux-japanese slop anyways.
>I hope they do justice to Richter
Yes, they clearly have been shown to care

wait this that black dude is a girl and a vampire?
The black dude is Annette the love interest of Richter, in Rondo she was white with a purple hair, in DXC she was pale with blonde hair and one of the bosses.
>All the "at least" replies
These homosexuals broke, soon they will join the goycattle horde
>their entire account is them arguing that racechanging is a "glow up"
the original Castlevania series was fantastic so this probably will be too.
You know anon, a lot people liked the first show and want this one to be just as good if not better.
We know people have shit taste that isn't new information.
Why did they skip Simon and Juste?
I think there was a voice actor leak we'll see Juste as Ricther's grandfather.
Kakashi/Urahara-like old mentor
Because Richter is a fan favorite. If this new series does well it will be great but if it doesn't it'll probably be the end of NetflixVania.
You have no idea what a shill is.
Simon is too based to be portrayed in Shitflix animu
It's a blessing they won't touch Simon
What would Simons show even be? He has no one to interact with you would have to do a poor mans samurai jack style show
>samurai jack style
>implying this is a bad thing at all
Anon that is exactly what Castlevania fans wanted the show to be to begin with.
I've never watched samurai jack but yeah this.
Every Castlevania Netflix series is just them making up a bunch of shit anyway. If they liked Simon (or Christopher, for that matter), they'd make the series. But as other anons have said, they only care about Symphony of the Night and just want to get there.
This whole franchise lives in the shadow of SotN and I hate it.
It makes sense though, It's the most popular game, the most critically acclaimed and the one that started employing the iconic Ayami Kojima style that's synonymous with the franchise
>Symphony of the Night
But they fricked that over
Alucard already met and killed his dad, there's no central conflict for their version of SoT. Since it's set on 1796 it's probably gonna be about some White Supremacists vampire killing the poor, helpless Haitian revolutionaries
>1796
Forget the location, they couldn't even stick to the year Rondo takes place (1792) LMAO
But he met and killed his dad in CVIII.
Yeah, in an 8 bit console, it didn't have a whole lot of emotional conflict and heavy writing in it
>poor mans samurai jack style show
That's exactly why it would actually be decent at least just make poor mans samurai jack but castlevania style the problem is that netflix would have tp actually try and not just vomit "writing" all over
>He has no to interact with
Frankenstein and Igor
Werewolf
Medusa
The Mummies
Ghost Dancers
Doppelganger Simon
That's several characters, taken from 1, II, and IV. You could probably spin some stories out of them.
>"but those are bosses"
So were a lot of the characters the Netflix show focused on.
correct me if i'm wrong but aren't most of those monsters public domain at this point?
>Samurai Jack but the protag is christian Conan the barbarian
That’s all I wanted anon. Have it be a pure action show with Simon having inner monologues about his situation. You can give him some dialogue with the each of the main bosses he encounters before Dracula too. If they decided to adapt Castlevania II, they can really go into the world building and the kinda of people that exist in the several towns he travels across
>What would Simons show even be? He has no one to interact with you
IT'S A VIDEO GAME ABOUT WALKING THROUHG A CASTLE AND FIGHTING MONSTERS
Would you really want them to do Simon? I wouldn't want them to do Simon, not if it's going to be more of what we got with the first series. Dude's too cool for that.
>He has no one to interact with
I don't know why you say that when interacting with people is part of the point CV 2: Simon's Quest, and they'd be stupid to not include Simon's Quest if they ever do Simon. Townsfolk who either lie to Simon's face or tell him to basically die to his face, those rare few he can call friends with their crystals and actually helpful info, the peculiar hooded traders literally hiding in your walls and floors along with the freaks popping out in the woods and graveyards, the Ferryman, Dracula himself, good or evil, if we're still doing the bodypart hunt. There's even books literally hidden in the earth, that sounds like something that could get a fun twist put upon it.
And that's just 2, you have 1, IV, and X68000 for even more shit and people to frick about with. The mud women always gave me sad, sacrificial victim vibes, and the shewolf turns back when defeated. Plenty of shit to work with, I think.
>samurai jack
This also would be good.
See, you motherfricking get it. I'd love to see Simon interacting with monsters, not even for le deep philosophy, just riddles and shit would be fine, too.
Me too, anon, me too.
At the very least they should include the x68000's ninja maids.
>Before touhou own infamous maid and vampiress e-girl
>shewolf turns back when defeated. Plenty of shit to work with, I think.
I always thought Shewolf would be a good character for a Simon story. It could probably give Simon a good conflict if it went go for the Larry Talbot angle and had her as an innocent woman who got bit and can't control her transformation.
is the original series worth watching?
by that i mean does it have homosexualry or Black folk
Yes, so you wouldn't like it.
oh well time saved
Alucard gets butt fricked by an Asian twink and no, I'm not joking.
Watch first two seasons and then stop
idc what Ganker says, I liked the first two seasons. It only truly turned into shit once they went into full OC fanfiction territory with Seasons 3 and 4.
>went into full OC fanfiction
>when thats literally season 1 onwards
maybe just for dracula and he is barely is in it, but everything else frick no
No, just watch the fight scenes on youtube, its shitty GoT copy cat.
Site?
Holy hell no. Even ignoring the butchering of the established Castlevania lore and the insane levels of pozz the writing and pacing of the show is beyond horrendous.
80% of season 2 is the main characters standing around in a library doing nothing while vampires discuss gay vampire politics with the language and tone of a group of edgy teenagers. And you might think that I'm joking about the ratio of actual show to boring nonsense but you can genuinely watch the first and final two episodes of season 2 and miss absolutely nothing of interest.
Season 1 is fine
Season 2 is watchable, mostly kinda boring but has some decent stuff.
Season 3 and 4 are fricking abortions. I have no idea how someone could think fricking Alucard in the ass in a completely pointless plot was a good idea. Yes that actually happens.
>Season 1 is fine
It's okay to like it, but let's not pretend that it's not pure fanfiction Warren Ellis shit
well yeah thats assumed. But as far as watchability goes? its fine.
Season 4 is fricking wild. The entire multi season arc of Carmilla and co's plot of forming an army waging war just never happens. They spend the entire time "planning" then whoops get Issac'ed. What was the fricking point?
There was a rumor that Adi Shankar and Warren Ellis had a lot of disagreements, so Warren literally had Alucard and Hector get buttfricked because they werr Shankar's favorite characters. But that's just a rumor, I don't even remember where I heard it
The pacing is literal garbage
This is every Castlevania season:
talkingtalkingtalking (90%) - a very well animated fight scene at the end (10%)
the first season makes you think its gonna follow an adventure-of-the-week format but they literally just sit around and talk
>the first season makes you think its gonna follow an adventure-of-the-week format but they literally just sit around and talk
It's funny because "adventure of the week" is basically the perfect kind of story for an adaptation of Castlevania 3, but nah we really needed the main characters to spend one million episodes sitting around in the same place while the rest was vampire politics with raceswapped characters
In the mid 2000's, Castlevania 3 was originally planned to get adapted as three animated movies, written by Warren Ellis. Season 1 seems to be made from the script for the first film, but there's also things about the original film's script that apparently got brought back in later seasons (like the "goats that drop flaming turds" line, or allegedly Alucard being in an orgy).
Ellis originally wanted to do Season 2 with 4 episodes, but got greenlit for twice that amount instead. So that might be where the pacing problems really started. If he only got 4 episodes then who knows, maybe we wouldn't have gotten bogged down in vampire politics so much.
Not really, outside of the animation of season 1 the series turns into a whole lot of nothing for almost the entire time and any big story beat ends up being the dumbest shit you can imagine.
The first season is decent, can't say the same for the rest.
No not really,really subpar animation and story. I watched all three seasons,even first one which is best is really not good.
It's kinda like Sonic Boom for Castlevania.
Is it actually a good adaptation of the series? No, not particularly.
Is it a good standalone series? Kinda, but you have to be going into it wanting memes and literal ass-frickery, otherwise you won't have a great time.
I liked the Judge in S3 but his reveal soured everything which I guess was the point as a reaction for both character an audience. I would once like to see a man in power be competent and NOT fricked in the head.
I gave it a shot because people said that at least the fights are cool. It fricking sucks. There's better fight choreography in my Taiwanese puppet anime.
It's alright
First season was good but then you think things will pick up in S2 where they got a better budget but that's when the writers got off to their own farts and it's like 2-3 episodes of CV3 party (except for Grant) sitting in a library, 8 episodes of a 14 years old teenager's fanfiction of Game of Thrones but with vampires and the final episode being the confrontation (so no proper lead-up, or even introduction). They just follow that format for whatever reason.
Honestly, the GoT show keeps ruining shit. If they wanted to make CV but with a bit more drama, they should've just copied Buffy/Angel
>language: Japanese
If you like characters quip in each line, then yes.
If you like characters avoiding an adventure/journey and magically arrive to their destination, yes
If you like smartass metacomentary of modern world, yes
If you like an adaptation that is nothing like original games, then yes again
Season 1 should've been an intro movie, it's far too short. Season 2 is full of autism levels of vampire court politics and it gets old quick. Season 3 and 4 are pure kino seethe Gankerirgins. It had the best fights, writing and pacing.
I think castlevania became woke with the last season and this show is just going to be more of that.
I can't watch Netflix shows without assuming they put brown people in the show as some sort of tokenism and I'm black. Shit feels forced
>entering fan fiction levels
>entering
that was the first episode of netflixvania
Writers getting high?
I think it's gonna be kino
Maybe can work out.

>What if Dracula, the man who b***h slapped the fricking Devil, was sad
That sort of aligns with SotN, thoughever.
>What if Carmilla was backstabbing b***h
Not a bad idea in a vacuum, but frick her anyway.
I dont mind the idea of duplicitous Carmella
But her whole hate boner on old men was one of the most moronic things ive ever seen on a screen.
Konami is more soulless than any Western company. Literally all they care about is "what's the quickest way we can cash-grab with these IPs we've inherited from our previously-soulful self?"
They don't even give a frick about their own reputation
Wish they inherited right for Skullgirls. Get sick of the censorship.
I watched the fight with Trevor vs. Death and Death's dialogue is literally the only thing in the past several years to make me come close to a physical cringe.
What the frick were they thinking?
>What the frick were they thinking?
Game of Thrones and mature themes of mature people.
This, game of thrones and marvel ruined western entertamient
Frick you fricking c**t frick face frick
most of the dialog is so bad. the voice actors delivery on some lines are cringe. like bro please stop.
>Death, primordial and ancient being older than almost anything except God himself enters scene
>Death: frick you you mortal frick, lil mortal frickboy b***h mortal you're so worthless i'm going to eat your soul and shit it out all over your gf frick you b***h
>Somewhere, the writer: yeah this is good
>Death, primordial and ancient being older than almost anything except God himself enters scene
>Death: frick you you mortal frick, lil mortal frickboy b***h mortal you're so worthless i'm going to eat your soul and shit it out all over your gf frick you b***h
Yeah, thats the point?
>lel subverted
Im not saying its good
Im saying its the point
What point could they possibly be making by having the physical manifestation of death itself speak exclusively in Xbox Live hatemail?
Well i liked it therefore it's peak fiction frfr
Death represents the worst attributes of mankind. A parasite that eats and hides.
Trevor's final boss in the show is literally him fighting his old self from season 1.
You give the writers too much credit. Sorry.
NTA but Trevor literally says this nearly verbatim. It's not subtle
Just feels like a cliche to me. Nothing in this show since the start of season 1 feels like it was well thought out at all.
Anon this whole franchise is based on monster movie cliches ever since the NES.
Visual cliches aren't the same as writing cliches.
I could see the "Death as a foul-mouthed foil for Trevor" thing working in a story, but he's only revealed in the same episode he dies in and Trevor's been out of focus for so much of the show anyway. His arc feels complete at the end of Season 1, after he's rallied the townspeople and done some stuff to show he's worthy of the Belmont name. After that he doesn't get that much character work.
There's also the issue with how a foul-mouthed supernatural being isn't really that shocking after Godbrand and Carmilla. If Trevor was actually the most profane character, maybe it'd sell that "oh christ, now there's two of them" feeling.

I don't know why people always think that old/ancient = polite/eloquent
swearing = mature and adult writing
well thats how grown ups behave yeah
Millennial writers
It was a good show!
trash
there's so much dialog and out of place settings in this show
Anon, you're years late. If you weren't complaning about this during the original Netflix Castlevania and only complaining about it now, you're full of shit and didn't actually care about "fan fiction levels of shit"
its funny that Americans literally cannot even pretend imagine a location just being all white people
a black person not being present is an error that must be fixed
Tbf, its France
Its full of blacks and the whites aren't all that better.
burgers worship Black folk, it's not a meme it's a fact
t. American
If this story is set during Revolutionary France, then I don't understand why the vampires are siding with the aristocrats. Yeah, I know, "Count" Dracula and all, but the fact is that if you're a bloodsucker who wants fresh bodies to drain then you'd side with the revolutionaries. They're the ones massacring whole cities, they're the ones chopping off heads in the tens of thousands with lots of fresh arterial spray, they're the ones wearing enough red to hide the stains. Vampires would be on the side of the people starting the war, not the nobles avoiding it.
Vampires feed off living people moron.
Many ton of rat too!!
That one twitter thread sums up why this show is horrible.
It’s not horrible, though. Maybe a bit off-the-rails, but far from horrible.
>I-is that a geometric shape?
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY BRAIN HURTS! DAMN YOU BELMONT!
honestly this was the worst part of the show for me
what was that movie. priest? where the guy kills vampires by throwing crosses at them and they explode. frickin kino
>same tone as castlevania series but without any of the self delusion
Which is why it was passable, and castlevania was shit.
its fricking confirmed that holy water actually works too why they frick did they do the geometric shape shit
because it implied that if only one holy symbol worked then that religion must be the only correct one
As a huge castlevania fan in my teens in the mid late 00s, you can confidently disregard any animated series fans opinions
I heard a skeleton from one of Konami's other IPs will make a cameo in the castlevania show
>Skipped over Simon because they knew they would not be able to faithfully adapt the simplicity of the original game and Simon's quest without pozzing it to hell and back
That is everything you need that should tell you why this show is not made for actual Castlevania fans.
They skipped over Simon because they didn't give a frick about him and wanted to get to muh SotN as quickly as possible.
They outright said so in interviews.
For the best anyway, they would frick it up. Now they can frick up their original plan too.
You know what's really funny? God is an actual entity in the castlevania universe. Dracula became a vampire expressly to wage war against God. The Church were Dracula's mortal enemies up until Aria where Graham, a member of the church, expressed his ambition to become the next Dracula. It was a twist. But Netflix was so dead set on tipping their fedora that they couldn't resist going Church Bad right from the beginning
>crosses are effective against vampires because their shape confuses their vision
What the frick? You can render vampires ineffective with perpendicular lines? THAT'S the secret? How have they not died out accidentally?
lol, lmao
What are you implying?
Does Dracula's wife, who birthed his offspring. Being burned at the stakes as a witch or whatever. Mean that the silly ideas the show had are justified or accurate?
They aren't. For one thing Lisa wasn't a fedora tipping atheist. If anything it's downright ridiculous that she is in the show, since she married Dracula.
>For one thing Lisa wasn't a fedora tipping atheist.
>Satan isn't real, unlike Dracula! lolz
>Syfa later goes on to whine about how bad the israelite god is but "yeshua" (chaos?) is a good bloke
It's fedora tipping the fricking pedoflix series.
>"yeshua" (chaos?)
Hebrew name for Jesus
Holy lance! May live on!
>Graham, a member of the church
Wait, what? Wasn't he a cult leader?
Have you not seen the trailer? They're not doing RoB or SotN, They're doing their own fricking fable 3 x Castlevania fanfiction
No it's because there's no Alucard in cv1 or 2 and their contact with the Israelis explicitly stated that Alucard must engage in interracual incestuous underage penetrative gay sex (bottom) with creampie at least once per arc
I yearn for a castlevania show where its nothing but animation with very small amounts of very well thought out dialouge. Just full use of visual media to show his struggle. I understand why they don't do it though as it would be unbelievably expensive.
You know what I want when I watch a cartoon about Castlevania? Lesbian vampire politics and black people.
That's exactly what I wanted too.
For me its the standing around doing nothing for 2/3ds of a season
Is there lesbian vampire sex? I'd watch that.
No, which is odd. This show tries so hard to be gay but it couldn't give us a lesbian sex scene. At least the redheaded vampire getting fricked was kinda hot.
How much longer til Netflix cancels Castlevania and Witcher? It would be hilarious if they straight up pulled it from the network like Willow.
Castlevania is still getting viewers from what I understand.
It's one of their biggest shows, not likely. You're better off hoping the staff gets burnt out and says "were done"
There was a Willow show? Shows how much I pay attention to Netflix.
We are way past that point, anon
I really want to know what Konami of Japan thought about this.
I think they're just happy the IP has value so they can make more pachinko machines based on it.
>implying the Japs aren’t total perverts
Lmao
>perverts for gay shit
Not even actual fujos and gays want to see Alucard getting anal raped liek a pussy like that.
bamco literally went out of their way to deconfirm and disapprove of the lesbo wedding in the new gundam anime. these are conservative japanese corporate suits we're talking about
Once they caught wind of it, Konami weren't too happy about the Alucard-buggering.
All the more surprising that Shitflix got to continue things into a second series.
Odds are that either they found a loophole to hang onto the rights to do with as they please and tell Konami to frick off, Harmony-Gold style. Or Konami is SERIOUSLY hard up for some cash.
gonna need a source on that
It's just a theory. You'd not be able to find any evidence that speaks against or towards it, unless you manage some corporate espionage - I'd wager. This is the type of skeleton that even the Castlevania IP would favor all its parties to keep in the closet.
Closest you'll get is a screenshot from that Castlevania gacha game where Alucard basically looks at the screen and says
>The only person I've ever banged is Maria and the idea of me fricking anyone else is non-canon
Konami has always considered Castlevania a passive income since it always makes money but never insane amounts of it.
Hence all the different Castlevania games on all of the different systems.
one just wonders how they will frick up aria
Soma will be Hispanic and nonbinary. Calling it now.
I hope the series bombs before they can ever touch Aria
Julius is now black
Yuko is a lesbian
Soma is a edgy teen who says frick a lot
Hammer doesn't exist
Why wouldn't Hammer exist when he's one of the rare few black people in the games?
yeah but they'll think he was white and not put him in anyways.
that's not how this works
Black characters are racist and need cut or changed, and white, usually ginger, characters will be made black.
hammer was originally meant to parallel grant danasty who was written completely out of castlevania netflix because the writer was a homosexual and didn't like his name. hammer therefore does not exist now either
It's pretty fricking wild how the show turned a character who had his own video game into a genocidal manchild with an implied mental disability and wrote him into a storyline espousing the writer's poorly disguised fetish.
>imagine killing yourself for "freedom" only to end up in Hell forever
It is fanfiction, konami already said these are not canon
>season 1 was short and sweet
>season 2 stuffed the main cast in a basement to make an obnoxious amount of room for lesbian vampires and other homosexual characters, then main cast finds a magic mirror warping the finale against Dracula to them after the writing burned through the pointless original characters
>season 3 was about nothing
>season 4 was also about nothing but the lesbian vampires finally died
In what fricking way at all was this based off of Castlevania 3? Nocturne is going to be a horrible disappointment and waste of time for Rondo of Blood fans and they'll find ways to frick up SotN too.
I'd argue 4 was more a VERY loose adaptation of Curse of Darkness
It is an adaptation of CoD by people who love the (metaphorical) Antichrist.
based.
>and they'll find ways to frick up SotN too.
It can be argued that SotN was very loosely adapted in Season 2 because the crux of that game's emotional pathos was the relationship between Alucard and Dracula, which they blew their load on in S2.
My opinion
>Should of had each season cover 1 game in timeliness format
Season 1 - Castlevania 3
Season 2 - Castlevania 1
Season 3 - Castlevania 2 and 4
Season 4 - Rondo of Blood/Dracula X
I thought this was gonna be the case when the first season ended because of it's short length but the show got so boring in Season 2.
That first season was genuinely good.
1 and 4 are the same events. Same with every other game that has Simon storming Dracula's castle like the MSX Vampire Killer and the arcade Haunted Castle, they're just new versions of the same thing.
>same events
I mean, does that really matter? Especially for an adaptation, and one that so far has been taking hella liberties as it is.Shoot, maybe it can be spun as Simon having to deal with / hallucinating multiple Draculas because of the curse and or exhaustion.
They can't even do SoTN now can they? Dracula and Lisa were revived and are more or less good. SoTN has no reason to happen.
The Dark Priest Called Shaft kills Lisa, blames humans and the Church, Dracula goes genocidal again.
>entering
I'm sorry did you somehow manage to miss the previous series? We're already well within the fan fiction house, not just entering it.
>entering
It's been that way since season 2
How they will ruin Maria? Turn her into a lesbian?
Wasn’t Maria, along with Alucard, the founder of the Lecard family?
Never specified. It's assumed the Lecardes have something to do with Alucard, though.
Currently playing The Lecarde Chronicles 2. It's pretty fun I recommend it
Extremely under-rated game. Difficult, but doable. Actual unsettling atmosphere (dying to the theatre show, etc) and some fantastic ideas. The true final boss is an incredible fricker, though.
I like the OST and creepy mood of the game.
Spanish family? Maria can be original immigrant from Austria.
She's apparently a leader in the French Revolutionary War now, so there ya go.
Worse. She's a socialist now.
You think the writers will be able to resist inserting a hamfisted allegory to BLM in an episode?
There's no way in hell they won't slip in at least one passive-aggressive "you whites are the same as the vampoirez" moment.
Is the show still a bunch of nothing until you get to the "good" episodes? Season 2 sure felt like this and I doubt it got any better since
>series made for gamers
>completely rewrite it to appeal to people who dont even play the games
why not just make their own series at this point? its not like anyone who actually liked the franchise before netflix is going to keep watching it
because it's more easy to use already existing IPs than to create a new one
Jesus that art looks terrible
So did the series takes the stance that God doesn't exist?
Nah he does, trevor just did a shit joke + S2 and 3 were written by a known fedoratipper
God was never real.
in universe you moron.
i will never forgive these homosexuals for what they did to hector
Honestly i liked the first one. IT does become way weaker after they dealt with Dracula and the focus somewhat shifts away from Trevor, Sypha and Allucard though.
What would Netflix do to Simon and Alucard's lovechild, Juste Belmont?
buttsecks, obviously
JUSTe is most likely gonna be Richter's grandpa, since they're establishing that Richter's mom was the previous Belmont
>CASTLEvania
>The heroes spend all of 2 and a half minutes actually raiding the fricking castle
>8 episodes of morons bickering in a basement and other morons bickering in a courtroom
Some people say season 2 was good but it wasn't
I think the only reason people say S2 was good is because of all the easter eggs in the basement.
I liked Season 3 a lot. You can all kiss my ass.
here's your new writer bro
I know what the bottom bit sounds like because the US has twisted the meaning of those words to suit corporate demands and stuff college communists under everyone's beds, but that predates it and that there is actually a blue collar union. Dunno who the guy is, but there is a good chance he's based. Bong blue collar types are good people in my book.
you're being a little too optimistic
>bong
Typical.
>We are entering
Bro. It started as fan fiction.
It annoys me how they had to go "not muh vision" so much to the point they had to drastically alter Sypha's design when the most striking reveal about her in CVIII's ending was she was a girl with long blonde hair.
Doesn't Jesus himself literally bless Richter for his Hydro Storm spell?
>Black personvania
Cool to see so many devout Christians on this board! I bet you all regularly go to church like a true children of god right? And never jerk off to degenerate pornography depicting vile and immoral fetishes? And you CERTAINLY don't blaspheme regularly, and live a humble traditional life! It's so nice to see so many disciples of the bible on Ganker.
>i bet you all regularly go to church like a true children of god right?

There are a lot of things I hate about this show - the dearth of genuinely interesting monsters in leiu of outsourced-to-South-Korea Legend of Korra fights with MUH VAMPIRES is a big one of them.
We got tons of monsters in season 4.
From that scene, only fleaman, the golem and Gergoth are from the game. Slogra and Gaibon scene was fricking sad.
Where are the axe armors and medusa heads
In a cabinet.
But I want to see them in castle hallways being murdered
They're busy being stuck in a cabinet
That trailer made me feel actual violent rage
Everything we've got so far has felt like bad fan fiction
They had Richter brooding in the trailer.
Instant 0/10, modern writers have no idea how to write a hero.
Peace out
>Dracula starts shit and kidnaps village girls
>Richter goes "oh no, frick you b***h" and jumps on the first runaway carriage he sees to make a beeline straight for him

>show's Trevor lost his parents
>show's Richter lost his mom and has to work with her murderer for at least a bit, his dad's either dead or a deadbeat
Having Richter be plagued by tragedy before he even steps up feels especially weird given that his parents were confirmed to be alive in the games.
If Juste and Lydie are his parents, they'd be pretty old by the time Rondo of Blood took place though.
cant have white male characters that are smart, strong, masculine and heroic
they all need to be turned into weaklings and losere so that women and blacks can be the real heroes of the franchise who get things down and rescued / order around the incompetent white men
Worse still, it's not even written by fans.
Why does this continually surprise anyone when we've all long-since acknowledged that Konami is a pile of shit and has been for over a decade?
I ain't even watching this one. You dumb Black folk can self-harm all you like without me.

Oh look, it's the guy who put the IP into hibernation. Hello franchise killer!
No, that was IGA

>defending Judgment just to spite LoS
Mate I liked Judgment and that's just utterly stupid of you. It was an unbalanced piece of shit where by the end of its life, you only had Simons, Shanoas, Aeons, and Grants showing up online. Until it was just Grant, anyway.
>replay value
If only to unlock accessories and music for sound test. Running out of stuff to do and an increasingly shitty online is why I ended up selling it off myself.
From what I've seen of NEtflixvania through clips, I'm under the impression that while not entirely without cool references, the people behind the show aren't going to have that much fun with things. Not in that fashion, anyway, unless maybe, big maybe, they get to "adapting" Aria of Sorrow.
*kills your series*
Why did he do it
it was the only way to stop dracula from coming back
Turns out the series director hated Castlevania and its fans
Would help lot if he was woman or Richter a tan tomboy?
Don’t we?

He was voice acted really well iirc. I wouldn't mind him if he were just another Belmont and not a franchise killer from an awful reboot
His story in the first game was really compelling for what it was (a generic hack and slash game). I feel like the twist where he becomes Dracula was pretty stupid though. And even putting the moronic story aside, LoS 2 is one of the worst games I've ever played.
Not Dracula specifically, but playing as a Belmont turned vampire is an interesting angle. Too bad they squandered every bit of potential the concept had though, fricking rat stealth missions
I miss when AAA devs made their own fanfic OCdonotsteals
people pretending this guy killed the series as if the series wasn't already dead, the ds games sold less and less and the psp and wiiware games didn't exactly light up the charts
it was an attempt to revive an already dead series
Since 2007.
https://www.deviantart.com/ximonr/art/JULIA-BELMONT-53661675
https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Julia_Belmont (Sometime hated fandom)
That's just sad. They frick around with the game's mythology so much they have to insert characters into the Belmont's family line using other people's OCs.
Makes me miss Sonia Belmont even more.
You should've known things would get fricked up when they tossed around swearing like everyone's some drunk barfighting brit and Grant wasn't anywhere to be seen for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
There was a reason.
Ellis thinks ex-pirates fighting vampires are lame.
Get replaced with bisexual woman.
>We are entering fan fiction levels of shit. What happened to Castlevania?
Since season 1, there was fan fiction levels of shit. Beside the name of the show and name of some characters, there is nothing in common with the games
>no sidestory game with the sisters back to being human and taking up their father's legacy as vampire hunters
>no sidestory game with the sisters back to being human and taking up their father's legacy as vampire hunters
Since Eric Lecarde is Spanish, Netflix will make him a Moor.
Moroccan/Berbers?
American "moor".
Since this Ganker someone post the screenshot with the seething gaming journo talking about Kingdom Come and about "moor" black wiener impregnating a tavern girl in 15th century Bohemia
Can't stand the homosexual look of the show, I wish the series had a manga style closer to Rondo or DS games.
>that doujin where Brauner fricks them both while Eric is forced to watch in his ghost form
Netflix-vania is probably the beast example of why it is morally correct to side with the studios as far as the Hollywood writers strike.
I hope both sides lose. Frick Hollywood.
>QUE TE JODAN
Thinking on it further, we're actually living in the post-fan fiction era. Netflix Castlevania, Netflix Witcher, Netflix She-Ra and He-Man, Phases 4 and 5 of the MCU, hell the entirety of the American comic book industry. All run by people who actively despise the source material of the stuff they're supposed to be putting out and instead make their own thing wearing the IP as a skinsuit.
Don't forget the new TMNT movie with black dwarf April as redheaded white girls are taboo.
They already did that with cartoon series that flopped just before it. They just made her fat this time.
the right lost the culture war
Then why are you still fighting it?
Skip to around 2:00 for Lisa claiming satan isn't real.
https://www.tiktok.com/@sandybeachs/video/7236112418861026586
If satan is not real, then what is the point? No devil, no God, no good, no evil. Why vampires? None of the premise for the games even makes sense. Oh, that's right... spinny cross thingy make vampire head go boom. Got it.
>gods not real
>holy water has a visible effect on demons
????????
Probably has some antibacterial properties or who knows, maybe it has spinny things in it that make the vampires head go boom.
but season 1 clearly states for holy water to work it needs to be blessed by an ordained priest
Still boggles me that a zombie priest is able to bless the water. It's like the writers don't know a shit of how the christian rites works.
>writers who went out of their way to disrespect an innately religious series don't respect religion
shocker
More than respect, I was waiting for some coherence, research or at least a bit of logic, I mean, even japs seems to understand better the christian rites rather than Netflix writers.
I need to get back to the lore of the games, or at least read a synopsis of Lament of Innocence, how did Mathias become Dracula again?
Some other vampire had this artifact called the Ebony Stone, Mathias and Death conspired to have this vampire (Walter Bernhald) killed so Mathias could steal it and inherit the stone's powers. Mathias did so thanks to the unwitting help of Leon Belmont and became an all powerful Vampire Lord and at some point in time changed his identity to Vlad Tepes.
Oh and of course the Stone is never brought up again in any other game as it was just an excuse to get Mathias turned into a vampire without getting bitten himself. The only time it's almost acknowledged again is a cut Death line in Harmony of Despair.
What's with this fricking schizo rambling holy shit go outside my homie
Is Alucard going to get fricked in the ass in this one?
Mathias and soma
>Soma is somehow less gay looking than Dracula AND has a better hairline
What a chad
Didn't showrunner/director/whatever say he wanted to adapt Aria of Sorrow as well? I'd be down for that since Soma himself doesn't have any direct ties to any characters in the lore other than him being a reincarnation of Dracula. Plus we'd get to see Alucard once more as well as Julius. Also, since Konami will never give us the War of 1999 we could have flashbacks that trigger Julius into getting his memory back. It's not ideal but I see it as any easy way to appease fans even if just a little bit.
Adi Shankar got taken out of the project around S3 i think, he's not with the Netflixvania team now
Yeah, that too. It's been almost 20 years since I played LoI, cute me some slack, Jack.
>cute
goddammit
I actually really liked the show.
I hope they do justice to Richter as The Most Powerful Belmont to ever exist with him bursting with holy energy when he awakens later on
That's kind of a thing SoTN didn't go into much detail since Richter's supposed to be THE strongest Belmont to ever exist Alucard would have trouble taking him down
When they eventually get to Simon I hope he's a cavemen with sub 80 IQ smashing things with sheer brute force and barely understandable language
He literally spends the whole trailer crying
Well yeah because he's going to awaken during the show. He can't start at his peak that'd be boring and make for a poor show.
He probably is since that's his whole shtick and what makes SoTN work.
>He can't start at his peak
But that's how he starts in the game
Yeah no shit a Castlevania game that happened before SoTN had the player character start at normal power
He makes Alucard look like a pussy in SotN too
Belmonts get stronger with every generation.
Richter isn't anywhere close to the strongest.
Its cool how when they talk about Simon in other Castlevania media, he's portrayed as being absolutely ignorant when it comes to magic and being able to keep up with other Belmonts through sheer strength
I like his portrayal in Grimoire of Souls where he's just a really nice, empathetic dude. If he ever gets an adaptation, I hope they pull from that version.
He even tells Richter to stop beating himself up over the fact that he fell to Shaft's brainwashing and to stop feeling guilty over it. Team Dad Simon was great.
>be THE strongest Belmont to ever exist
m8, julius exists.
>Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls straight-up refers to Richter as the “greatest of all the Belmont warriors,” both in dialogue (to Simon’s face!), and in his character description.
I take Julius as having to deal with a shittier scenario but having better support since the average person can actually pick up a gun and help to a certain degree
It's a whole another situation back on Richter's era when he's got Maria and that's that
Alucard was around Julius war wans't he
Tbtbh Julius probably got Vatican and maybe even from some governments.
Yeah he's strong, but he almost certainly got help.
That is stupid, in the Sotn bad ending Alucard states that Richter only knew warfare in his life, which means he was trained from childhood to hunt and kill monsters, and not just that, but he probably loved his life style, if anything, if anything Richter should have Gaston's wienery personality, with a touch of adrenaline junkie, but overall a good person.
This show has been literal, explicit, unironic goyslop since episode 1. It's good you are realizing its quality now, but it hasn't gotten much worse than it has ever been.
This, I have no idea how any of you liked it. It was the most juvenile shit that was took itself too seriously. You Black folk have negative standards.
Dracula was tanking full fricking armies in 1999 and julius put him away. Richter gets blown for some frickin reason but I'm positive julius is much stronger. I may be wrong but I'm fairly certain it was a plot point that every belmont that comes after is slightly stronger than his predecessor.
>grimiore of souls
I don't really like to consider anything from this "game". I just feel like these gachas always put in shit like this without a second thought since people want the flavortext.
He did but dracula was also fully realized. They state during aria of sorrow like 5 nations armies, the church, and a bunch of magicians fought against dracula but julius was the only one to actually put him down for good.
Wokeflix
Remember that scene in Season 2 where Trevor punches Dracula and Drac says "You must be the Belmont"?
Think they'll redo that but with Richter and have Dracula actually stagger back from Richter's punch?
>Think they'll redo that but with Richter and have Dracula actually stagger back from Richter's punch?
No.
The series is so far off from the source material that I don't even think they'll even care enough to bring back Dracula and do the iconic "What is a man?" scene.
the useless homosexual who wrote the pile of dogshit they call the Netflix show never played a castlevania game, and prides himself on it.
>Dracula will have done nothing for 300 years, locking out Simon and Christopher stories
>the actual Dracula novel might not even happen in this continuity
I really wonder how a Sorrow series would work if he's just some guy who threw a tantrum 550 years prior, instead of a centennial threat with crazy supernatural mythology who sparked a war in 1999.
I fricking hated this scene. Considering that Lament of Innocence events are canon, Dracula’s reaction was very disappointing. That’s it? No remorse for fighting a relative of your old comrade and best friend? No trying to explain why did you even become Dracula in the first place?
>That’s it? No remorse for fighting a relative of your old comrade and best friend?
Why? The Universe doesn't think that he did anything wrong.
homosexuals is what happened to castlevania anon. homosexuals.
>not watch it for sexy vampire girls
>watching a castlevania adaptation just for writer's OC
Fricking peasant.
>fanfiction
You mean Lords of shadow?
Isaac was the worst character. His whole "Why are people prejudiced against my demon army" shtick was unbearable and the show wants you to find him cool or at least to "love to hate" him for massacring innocents for the 2737363th time when he's just a reddit antinatalist (secular manichean). Worst part was when he fought the random evil wizard and killed all the mindcontrolled people.
I don't know how anyone can like this shit. It's just a show wearing Castlevania's skin. Why can't they just make new IPs instead or ruining existing ones? Oh, right it's "reimagining for the modern audience".
Castlevania fans have been starved for content so they just want whatever they can get. In between the homosexualry this series provides there's good character writing and sometimes good action scenes. At this point it's worth seeing Alucard getting raped and almost killed because we can at least still see Alucard. Konami was smart to greenlight this series because moronic fans like me will settle for this shit, it's like fricking stockholm syndrome.
It's not like Vampires can't exist in American fiction (Interview with a Vampire attests to that) but what reason is there for a french Vampire Hunter to go to America and slay Chief Walking Lizard's wife or whatever? Not to mention the Caribbean stuff.
Just feels like America letting minorities live in their heads as usual.
only 2 things matter in this business, money and miles and castlevanias got both in spades
>kinda enjoy season 1
>season 2 alucard takes it up the ass on screen, Black person vampires and strong female vampire literally talking shit to dracula to his face with 0 consequences
dropped it then, never looked back
Everyone gets stuck about the Alucard shit which wasn't a big deal (its not the even made him awaken to gayness or some shit, he was a kissless virgin autist for hundreds of years, finally made a connection with other damaged people only for them to backstab him after trying to distract him with sex, which led him to literally impale them on a giant fricking stake outside of his house. As the series ended he was growing closer romantically with a woman), but what bothers me was what happened with Hector and Lenore. After all the shit they went through, both of them seemed to grow as people and finally cared about each other on even terms (ie Hector was no longer bound by the ring, Lenore was no longer bound by her "sisters"), yet she basically just offed herself?! Hector could have easily offered that the two of them could just go off somewhere to get away from the cycles of war and both of them could use their abilities and knowledge to make things less shitty for humans and (non shit) vampires, but no. they had to rush it to a le tragic end to be edgy? Frick.
The worst part is the lesbian vampires get shown as so loving to each other that it makes them sympathetic despite them literally waging the same war that Carmilla is deemed a villain for. This show has a problem with rewarding the diverse characters even when they're murderers or crazy people.
That's true to an extent, though Carmilla is clearly the man hating girlboss types that wants to wage the war in the most obnoxious way possible. The others are various degrees or less shitty in both how they waged it and the apparently goals. Hell, even at the beginning Lenore thought they'd be saving both human and vampire misery, creating order and if I recall basically Carmilla (not sure about the others ) lied to her and manipulated her thinking she was too naive.
My impression was that those two were more or less on board with Camilla's plan but because of their roles in their military they would always have to see combat so they fricked off to be together and left Carmilla and Lenore to die.

She is rotting in Hell. Funny how people act like this despite knowing that Hell exists.
>No eurojank Simon's Quest open world game
Why even live
Would be nice to have an Elden Ring / Witcher style Castlevania with well written lore for everyone including monsters and demons.
Story would span over couple of generations so that Belmont can inherit abilities and weapons from previous Belmont.
Would be nice to be able to do something in the past that lightly affect current/future time but not the main plot. E.g. Special monster slayed in x century is displayed in castle in future century. Saved village still there and developed. If not saved just ruins.
Add the possibility to play some dungeon classic style with a view like those 2D/3D fighting game (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat)
Oh look another christian/muslim/israelite trying to pretend to be a victim.
Twice the gay content and double the Black folk.
>yeah, that's gotta be it. Black folk, trannies, and everyone else living in your head rent free ever since you lost the culture war.
War implies that there is something to be proven in the end. I don't really care about people that are still not convinced of the evils of the GAE.
No way, Mr. Pfizer.
>western anime
>western writing
>has that overproduced look
>gives no fricks about the source material
>just a vehicle for the writers politics/ego stroking
I gave up after the first epsidode when it ripped off of berserk
Are there any good game to video adaptations? Not Mortal Kombat, or Super Mario Bros. (both you Black folk)
>Americans
>HOW DARE YOU MOCK MY RELIGION
>HOW DARE YOU HAVE BLACK PEOPLE
I hate Americans so much, man. You guys will not shut the frick up ever
>if you want a castlevania show that follows the source material you are a chud
moron.
>Game about vanquishing evil monsters from an evil castle
>Show is a mexican GoT soap opera
Really subverted my expectations there, took all their brain cells to create such amazing scenes like.
>Vampire bickering over blood
>Vampire taking in the ass
>Human bickering with vampire
>Human bickering with human
>Googly eye human looking creepy
>Vampire sad
>Man shouting
>Character saying shit frick shit frick shit frick frick shit
>generic monster dying
Can't wait for the new season where the vampire will scream the following words.
>FRICK YOU YOU FRICKING SHITTY FRICKING SHIT HUMAN, YOU SHIT FRICK, I WILL KILL YOU
10/10 best frick shit frick series out there, really mature and deep.
I now understand that profanity laws weren't made to actually prevent profanity from airing in shows, but to act as a filter against hack writers who use swear words as connectors and expeletives on their dialogues.
Profanity is not an issue to me, the issue is most of that profanities sound too modern so it breaks the inmersion. Is like listening the discussion of two morons in a reality show. Ellis is a hack, but it boggles me how bad is his writing in castlevania.
Samurai Jack manages to be a series just about a guy trying to find a time portal, and manages to have a plot and intrigue.
>because its themes go against your political ideology
Take your pills, you are listening voices AGAIN.
The games already had better story and research than netflix shitshow.
The Castlevania Netflix show is so fricking weird to me.
Warren Ellis says he never played the games, yet he did enough research to know to include characters like Hector and Isaac, even with a nod to Leon Belmont. But his research only seems surface level, while people talk about Isaac's more obvious changes, people seem to forget Hector is a completely different character too. His motivations and relationships are pretty much flipped entirely. Do we even get game accurate innocent devils in the show at all?
I was happy that they'd finally include Death, yet his dialogue is so cringe and Rick and Morty tier it's unbearable.
Now they're completely skipping over Christopher, Simon, and Juste Belmont and straight to Richter? Did they just get impatient and want to adapt SotN which they will no doubt ruin as well?
All my complaints with the show would be forgiven if they just at least used more classic Castlevania tracks. The rendition of Bloody Tears was admittedly great, but why not use more? Dance of Illusions for the Dracula fight, or better yet, CVIII's best track, Aquarius.
And I can't stress this enough, the negative depiction of religion is just not Castlevania. Christianity is overall a positive force in the CV universe, with of course some changes(Church is okay with magic). It's at times flawed, in how the Belmonts were originally exiled, and sometimes Dracula's agents sneak into the church ranks like in Order of Ecclesia. But still positive.
Overall the show just isn't Castlevania. And it's heartbreaking this show is what people think of now when they hear "Castlevania"
>Warren Ellis says he never played the games, yet he did enough research to know to include characters like Hector and Isaac, even with a nod to Leon Belmont. But his research only seems surface level
he looked wikipedia and call it a day
Which Castlevania should I play?
I have a PC and a PS4.
Dracula X Chronicles for classicvania
Aria of Sorrow for igvania
Lords of shadow
You have like, 3 collections to choose from if you want to actually buy the games. These will load you up with most of the good stuff.

Of course there's always emulation, I think the PS2 games are fine for what they are, and the N64 games aren't nearly as bad as people say, at least Legacy of Darkness and it's updated version of Castlevania 64 are decent. Not the best but pretty fun. There was also ReBirth on Wiiware which is another game you absolutely need to emulate if you missed out on buying it, the game is amazing.
I'd then find a way to emulate the DS games. All three are quite fun.
Rondo did have a plot though (Literally Super Mario tier but still). Why the frick they're ignoring it in favor of the Lone Ranger: Vampire edition is beyond me.
You could create a whole shonen series based on rondo with Richter wandering into the castle, covering a level and fighting a boss each episode, finding Annet and Maria.
Unrelated to the show, but it always interests me that the Monster is a reoccuring boss in the series, but we never see Dr.Frankenstein.
>I'm turning everything into politics because i'm a loon
Take your pills, life will be better for you and your poor parents.
I honestly hate Netflixvania more than I do the Halo series or the Cowboy Bebop Netflix series. At least the majority of people recognize the latter are complete dogshit. Netflixvania has done way more harm in how it completely changed everything about the games' lore and setting, and people pretend this show is good.
See the case in point here.
The animation bonus.
>everything is political, chuddie.
>culture war
>politics you disagree
I pity your poor, poor parents: Their son is a living meme.
Sakurai and his team showed more love for Castlevania than Warren Ellis did.
>B-But Netflixvania had Bloody Tears!
Okay what else?
It had that boss from the DS game in the last season, that is love right.
>everything is political
you should be the life of the party
Victor Belmont
>autistic spent hours talking about the church bad in a wapanse imageboard
Smart guy
Isn't it supposed to be the Orthodox church and not the Catholic church which takes the most prominent role in the Castlevania games anyway?
A Castlevania adaptation should just have this kind of energy
