First Nelo Angelo Fight Experience, Got Disrespected.

Dante and Vergil profile art for the PGR collab!!!!

Beat him up!

I really didn't like the anime :/

I relate to dmc 2 Dante in that I, too, only speak in grunts and the occasional 5-word sentence

Also, just saying, if you've only seen trigun stampede (or trigun 98 for that matter) you are DEEPLY missing out on the manga's artstyle. it is pure visual ecstacy. If the words "Biomechanical" and "Angellic" mean anything to you on an aesthetic level, you with be frothing at the mouth at least once every few chapters.

Here's a collection of some of my favourite panels.

Thank you and goodnight

Vergil fight style: Clearly saw a sword that looked like his in a book and proceeded to copy the style from movies and other books that went into more detail. Fisticuffs ability gained for the moments he lost/may drop his sword. Leans more heavily on magic abilities with sword in hand. Mild amount of weapon improvisation.

Dante fight style: Gun skills learned from mercenary work to go with sword skills that are less refined in appearance. More style than substance for intimidation effect, but always manages to get the job done via brute forcing things. Excellent threat level assessment skills with minor gaps for new information. High amount of weapon improvisation.

Nero fight style: Despite having official training under a religious military sect and specialized weaponry, the preferred and most utilized method of combat is, "Hands Rated E for Everyone."

I often see ppl think Dante doesn’t love/care about Nero when as far back as DMC4 this scene where he looks at Nero one last time fondly before leaving exists. He just thought he couldn’t be a part of Nero’s life because he thought it wouldn’t bring him happiness.

this party's getting cuhrazy!

Why do you think the DMC fandom reacted with such vitriol to the show, unlike other fandoms like Sonic or CV? Personally, while NDMC is not a good product in any way, not even as its own thing because it's either dull or offensive, I didn't find it that inherently worse than NCFV or Nocturne or anything related to Sonic.

Is it because the fandom is bigger? Because fans are not so starved they would eat dirt, like CV fans in 2017? Or because this format of snarky adaptations that only tangentially adapt famous games in the series is finally growing stale?

I am being sincere when I say that I think that DmC Devil May Cry gave them antibodies.

This series has been through LITERALLY the EXACT same thing before. A western produced "new continuity" that loses the heart and soul of the original games while wiping its ass with the characterization and thematic intentions of those games, and is bloated to the brim with americacentric political commentary that's so on the nose that even people who agree with it should be annoyed.

It is one to one exactly the same product. And the people who DEFENDED that game were saying the EXACT same things that the people who are sucking off the netflix show are saying. Word for word.

The body can fight off an infection more easily the second time around.

Other game franchises haven't really had that experience, not really. Castlevania had Lords of Shadow, but that wasn't... icky. In the way that Netflixvania was. You know? It was just its own thing, it wasn't an offensive selfish mockery of everything that the franchise and characters were about. Even in the way that continuity made drastic changes to Trevor/Alucard and Dracula himself, it really did feel like it was just a new take. Whereas Netflixvania felt like it was actively saying that the video games were stupid, the characters from the games were nonexistent, and what they were creating was superior in every way.

It's like a pretentious spitefulness. That's how I would describe the likes of DmC Devil May Cry and Netflix May Cry, and Netflixvania and IDW Sonic and the Paramount Halo live action show ect ect. Shlock made by narcissists who think they're creating REAL ART out of an inferior source material.

DMC is also unique I think in the fact that after DmC Devil May Cry happened, we did end up getting DMC5 later. A return to the original continuity, and it was wildly popular and successful. So there was a vindication for the OG fans thanks to the new game. So the Netflix show feels even more egregious in the face of that.
