Allow me to explain, Original Dante (1-4, we'll call him Dante 1) is like Superman, New Dante (Dante 2) is like Spider-man, they are two completely different characters in the same category.

First, let's look at the original Dante Superman comparison.

Hideki Kamiya made a Superman-like character when he created original Dante and even throughout all Itsuno's changes, he has remained a Superman-like character.
Dante 1 is that character we all strive to be. He's the character that puts hope into people. He tries to find the good in everybody, and tries to be a hero despite his dark past. He protects the humans despite them seeing him as a monster. He is more designed to inspire people than for people to relate.


Then we have DmC Dante.

Like most MARVEL heroes, in the beginning, he didn't care, he felt like he could do whatever he wanted because he was more powerful than everyone else, but eventually realizes that his powers have a higher purpose . Dante 2, like most MARVEL heroes, has some flaws that allow us to relate to him.
His flaw is that he is a total swagfag when the game begins. As we see the game progress, he turns to a more responsible personality . Again, this is more a relatable character than an Inspiring one. Because he is more targeted to a certain demographic.
 
Good.

I've pointed this out several times but without having superheroes as examples,but you gave unique examples overall.

While I think the original Dante is more for people to aspire and someone that represents an idealistic supernatural being,the hero-type,he still has human-like flaws like cheekiness and a big ego.
As a non-human he doesn't seem to be so different from the humans,this until you see him fight, in essence he still has a realistic attitude,but his usage of his supernatural powers combined with his personality make him somehow unrelatable to the audience thus becoming more of an iconic figure but still having human traits.

There's also the emotional part of DMC which is related to the human feelings like the loss of someone dear,shedding tears for that somebody,guilt,sadness,even romance or affection,but also humour and sarcasm and innuendos,some things that are humanly but brought into a fantasy like universe to a different level. Not to add it's trying to be more literal in its similarity with Alighieri's work which makes it seem a little bit less realistic.

Original Dante represents an idealistic character but not perfect,with flaws but brought into a different universe in which he's the person who in the end is the hero,the one who helps others,but also the person who may change other people's ways or the one who makes others be by his side like in Trish,Lady,Lucia and Nero's case and so on but still maintain its habits and flaws,this imperfection representing his human-side,the non-human and powerful one representing his demonic one but used for the good side.

In DMC we've seen his development from a careless teenager to a more responsible man which we can also see in DmC Dante's case as well but in different circumstances.

DmC Dante is not far from this. Just as in Original Dante's case he went through a character development,thus we can't say DMC Dante is really that of an idealistic character.Just like nor DmC Dante is.
The DmC universe is more tough and modern than it was in DMC,which was more fantasy like if we compare them two.
This affects the characters in some way. While both characters grew up by themselves we can see differences between them.Original Dante was putting on a facade of indifference and boastfulness and humour while DmC Dante is also careless but also rude because of the environment he grew in. In essence there isn't much difference between them two but in how they behave,react. And all these differences are because of the universe they live in but we can't see such a big difference between the two,other than the circumstances.

There's also some kind of contradiction I didn't seem to understand in DmC.As why Dante was so relatable despite him being a nephilim,a half angel half demon.This makes it sounds like he should have been the one to be more of an inspiring character because he has non-human origins in him.

So,I wouldn't say original Dante is that inspirational because he also has flaws,nor DmC Dante is that relatable because again of his nature and superpowers,what makes them differ is the universe the action takes place. They both went through a change in their personality and changed their goals,having the same ones,but the timeline and surroundings make them behave a little different.

( This also makes me think DMC3 was a need even if it was somehow considered a reboot,this game actually made Dante feel more human and flawed and went through more character development but still mantaining his hero-type attitude later in DMC1)
 
I think the better comparison is this.

DMC= Earth 616

DmC= Ultimates

Perfect comparison.

And you can't really compare Dante to Superman. Superman also isn't perfect. He also goes through very human issues despite being godlike.
 
Marvel and DC aren't just some black and white comparison. They are more similar than you think and also both awesome. I'm an avid fan of both.

As long as DmC Dante isn't ultimate Quicksilver, I'm happy
 
That rather good comparison, and I can see your points through others replies here as well. Thanks, Random! :D
 
Dante is nothing to Superman. I'm sorry but Dante is just an ant compared to a being as powerful and honorable (depending on the version) as Superman.

But since it's something of comparisons.

I'd rather it be this;

I like that. oDante is a being that had years of development, yet still has his struggles and sorrows, like Superman. reDante is a younger, more inexperienced version of the original with the potential to become just as amazing as the original.

Hell, in Blackest Night, after he finally achieved freeze breath, Connor was called (by Wondergirl) "The Man who can do Everything Superman can"

I want reDante to become "The new Red Knight"

Not really. Its not like DmC is perfect, and does share some mess ups like Ultimate has. But atleast DmC comes from a series thats messed itself up since its first game so its acceptable.

Par for the course, I suppose. Although I'd still say "things done wrong" is subjective, and based on personal taste and standards.

Also - your signature is both hilarious and horrifying.

I guess to some color coded/restrictive enemies are a personal taste.

No game, book, series, tv shows, movies, and etc are without its flaws. Its just that some have more than others but I guess its "subjective" and its a matter of perception rather than actuality.
