i still keep hearing people go on about how the little wig joke was a slap in the face to fans. when it really isn't. it was probably the first joke they came up with for the game before the reveal. and its not just DmC, but a lot of other origins stories and reboots. like smallville and arrow. i remember how people lashed out at the show when clark made jokes like "i'm never wearing tights" or "you wanna call me superman? thats so corny". or how in arrow when people would suggest to ollie that he should change his name and merlin said, "he should change his name to green arrow". and ollie replied "thats lame". people lashed out at that as well. these aren't slaps in the face. they're jokes. they are funny because we know that in the end, what ever the character is jokingly protesting about, is going to happen in the end. like clark becoming superman in the end of smallville and dante getting white hair in the end of DmC.
