So, my friends and I were just chilling one day and we started talking DmC again. We decided to try to make up some theories just for the fun of it and, surprisingly, some of them made sense for the game (while, of course, others were completely off- base).
1. Sparda Was The Real Demon King
The reasoning behind this is just a "what if" scenario. Not really much of a theory but an idea.
2. Eva Is Still Alive
This is based on her appearance in Hell in VD. Basically, if she knew how, she could escape like Vergil did, basically making her "death" status as fragile as Kratos'.
3. The Angels Are Demons Too
Ummm... Suuurrrreee...
Alright, now here are the less off- base ones.
4. The Nephilim Were The Original Race
This is a good theory. There is a script file someone found here in the forums where Sparda said that when he talked to Dante. The theory is that the Nephilim were the ancestral race of the Angels, Demons, and Humans. The problem is that Vergil said that Angels and Demons have "always been" so the theory is shot down right there.
5. This Is All In Dante's Head
This also makes sense. In the teaser trailer, Dante is seen in an asylum and, in the game, Dante said that people thought he was crazy. The theory is that Dante was always a lonely kid and had mental issues from birth. He made up Vergil as an imaginary friend and, when his parents divorced (the demons' attack), he and Vergil were "separated" when he was sent to a mental facility where they gave him drugs which actually made things worse and gave him violent tendencies. Later on in his life, he would party, take drugs, etc., which furthered his issues and made his visions of demons worse to the point that he believed he started entering into a whole other world altogether. When game starts is when he starts questioning his life and what he has done with it. He made up Kat to sort out his feelings and Vergil returned after Dante saw the video of the terrorist in the news. With nothing controlling his violent nature, he actually did go around killing people and destroying stuff but, in his mind, he's in Limbo fighting demons.
A rather gruesome story but it doesn't make sense why Dante would create an entire group of rebels in order to help himself with his self- doubt. Plus how would he be able to be crazy and still get girls into his pants?
6. Sparda Planned On This To Overthrow Mundus
This theory says that Sparda had been planning to betray his brother for a long time, so he found Eva to make Nephilim children that would be able to beat Mundus. It makes sense since Sparda left weapons behind for Dante and gave Vergil a weapon that can seal the Hell Gate. The problem is that it gives Sparda an ulterior motive behind his romance with Eva which was said in the game (if I recall) to have been purely based on love.
7. Phineas Used To Be Sparda's Servant
In the game, Phineas called Dante "master". The theory says that this suggest that Phineas sees Dante as his (former) authority and that he was probably under Sparda's servitude. On the other hand, Phineas said that he was just a scholar before he was imprisoned so maybe him calling Dante "master" is a term of respect rather than of former subserviance.
Okay, now for the Physics stuff. I showed them my notes on Limbo and they started pounding me with questions. I wrote some of them down and my answers to them.
1. What is Limbo exactly?
A blanket universe. A realm separate from ours but intimately tied to it. I can't really give you a clear- cut answer because NT wanted to make this a mush between the Matrix and how the world is perceived in They Live but the best answer I can give you is this. Think of Limbo as a giant demon of madness and we're all living in it. It is somehow tied to our consciousness so that it can manipulate our thoughts and views of the world. Imagine if every crazy person was right. If all their visions and distortions of the world were true? That's Limbo.
2. Does Limbo have Mass?
I would assume so. It's kind of hard to determine that behind a tv screen but gravity and inertia are there so I would take a very certain guess that Limbo has mass.
