Does anybody still call the reboot Dante "emo?"

[Kam]

@Kam

I think the presentation of the scene is what lead it to be "emo"

If we redo the scene as a cinematic from Dante's perspective ( like a first person view) then we would have gotten a better look and formed a different opinion.

All that is just visuals, which has very little to do with why this scene is considered emo.

Recapping, he's trying to stick his finger into his chest, and monologuing about how he can't feel pain (while screaming in pain) because he's been exposed to so much violence and hurt at the hands of authority that he doesn't know if he can be considered a human or to have feelings any more.

Shifting the camera angle to look at dante in the mirror head on, instead of over the shoulder, would do absolutely nothing to change the insane levels of angst present in that scene.

@Kam, @The Final Offer and @Zer0 - seriously, this has gone on long enough. The three of you are on your final warning for this nonsense you all insist on bringing to the boards. I don't want to temp ban anyone but I am so sick of the endless list of reports made against all of you from other members who just want to have one thread that isn't a big argument between the three of you.

It ends now, please. Thank you.

At this day in age, emo is only used as a word to show you hate something.

Stupid children of the fanbase say this cause his hair was black.

This is off subject of this thread, but your avatar/icon reminded me of a DmC fanfic where Dante meets Sonico.

I think Dragonmaster wrote that. The same guy who wrote that one DOA5 and DmC fanfic

if red bright cot, smooth hair, cowboy boots and smooth talker isn't emo and cool shabby worn out jacket, practical hair, jeans and military boots is emo, well i'd rather be an emo then

Practical like dirty unwashed hair sticking in all sides and punkish boots?

Bright red clothes, cowboy boots and smooth talk are definitely not emo, emos are into really dark clothing, lots of eyeliner, black hair... kinda like goths, only much whinier, acting depressed and sometimes being into cutting oneself.
By that definition, reboot Dante ain't emo either, except some of the promotional images gave off the emo vibe.

ps. definition of cool is subjective

Not emo, but DMC 4 Dante does look like a gaudy vegas rodeo clown.

What a dork.

Yep. But there are still people who like to think it's objective. "What a crock!", as Nero would say xD

Hey, ain't nothing wrong with dat.

Too bulky looking for my taste though besides the silly outfit. Probably go for the DmC Dante or his earlier incarnations from the first 3 games.

 

[Foxtrot94]

Am I the only one who liked every Dante's looks? I think each one fits the mood of the game he's in.

ps. definition of cool is subjective

ps. it was my opinion, hence subjectivity..

Practical like dirty unwashed hair sticking in all sides and punkish boots?

lives in a trailer like a bumb, dirty cabin, loner, unwashed hair fits the story well, unlike going to the salon or laundry before doing some slaying

personally disliked designs on 4, dante's and nero's clothes, that old dude leading the order, loved the other series, especially DMC 2's Dante, in the artworks at least

DMC4 Dante is a cowboy who can ride me any time! :tongue:

Again, definition of cool is subjective.

ps. being riden-rode-what was the past for that again? by a dude is subjective

It fits story, but it still left impression that he's one person I would personally wouldn't want to get near of, alone because of the smell

pretty sure that particular emo character feels the same toward you..

You have to give those whores in the opening and Kat some credit then. For being able to have sex and/or stand near him naked LOL

I'm fine with that

Well whores can be bought and I'm pretty sure Kat smelled worse things in her life

 

[Foxtrot94]

Yeah... squirrel semen.

 

[absolitude]

It was fated that both you will always be parted and away for smelly reason
