Is it only me or someone else...?

I liked Dante once upon a time but now i just feel he is full of wasted potential as he could have been someone special.

Now he's dethroned as the king of cool and made irrelevant in his own series.

 

[MephistoCarnival]

I'm kinda glad people still call him Dino or Donte.

As long as this;

Has no relation to this ugly little thing;

I'm all fine with calling him Dino.

It's cool when you chose the best pictures of something you like and the worse ones for the thing you dislike.:/

Though I agree,someone could as well choose the '**** you face'.

Isn't that the same argument that I made for the "New Yamato is Ugly" thead? :lol:

Sorry to bring up bad memories, it just reminded me of that day.

And because you asked for it:

Good example.:lol:

And even though I liked the old Yamato,I still didn't like the new one.But someone else might have seen it as more beautiful than I do.
It's the same here. Of course we try to 'worship' our favourite things and make the other ones pale in comparison to what we like,it's in our nature.

And tell me again that everything isn't from a subjective point of view..Of course it is,well,almost everything that has to do with our tastes.

well i have my moments .

On topic- I think for DMC5 to work with Dante as the lead, you gotta figure out what makes him compelling as a character.

Otherwise just give me a nero game or a vergil game.

 

[MigsRZXAStylish]

I think the only interesting "Dante"s to date are:

and finally...

These are the only "Dante"s that show quite some interest for me as a DMC fan! DMC3 Dante is passable because he developed as a character!

Not only that most of his issues with Dante ties with other materials such as the DMC1 and DMC2 novels which was written by someone else who doesn't even work for Capcom (Shinya Goekida). So the DMC novels was Shinya's own interpretation of Dante, not Kamiya's (even if he said Shinya's image of Dante was similar to his own) or Itsuno's Dante (DMC2 included), and Shinya's version of Dante was more extreme and dark out of the many interpretations of Dante In which the novels depicts Dante slaying even humans (in the DMC1 novel for more petty reasons and the DMC2 novel for more reasonable reasons but still looked down by Chen for doing so) despite in DMC4 how Dante preaches the importance of humanity, which hello is a reference to DMC1 Dante where he discusses how "tears is human's best gift" and even preached about the importance of humanity (he was just never clear about it like in DMC4) and how else was the term "Devil's Never Cry" coined (upon which only DMC3 actually put an effort to mention the significance of the term "Devil's May Cry"). So if anything the novels even contradicted aspects of DMC1 Dante's character although DMC3 and the DMC3 manga literally retconned the first DMC novel (the DMC2 novel is still sort of canon but still no one cares about that one). Not only that Kamiya even gave the first novel an A-OK despite it having elements contradicting his own game (such as Gilver/Vergil who is a dirty, cruel fighter who uses cheap tricks and dirty tactics to get his way versus Nelo Angelo/Vergil who Dante considers an honorable man with guts and honor who shouldn't be working for Mundus. So a scumbag like Gilver somehow became more honorable and fair after being corrupted by Mundus, the king of scumbags. Vergil from DMC3 was a far more fitting prequel character to Nelo Angelo than Gilver to at least Vergil fights fair and doesn't resort to cheap tactics and at the end of DMC3 he seemed to have...almost...recognized the error of his ways and even submitted defeat by going to the Underworld and face Mundus head on with his own power. Sure he was prideful and cruel to his own allies but that translates better to Nelo Angelo than Gilver, who is 10x cruel, dirty, and larger scumbag than DMC3 Vergil) meaning Kamiya didn't read much of the DMC1/2 novel or wasn't fully clear about his own character. Dante was screwed from the beginning.

1-2 Bold- How Exactly?

3rd Bold- We don't even know what exactly went down.

4th Bold- Yes, gutting a defenceless bald guy, dicing up a blind guy's head, and killing a weaponless demon is fair.

I think Dante is a cool guy and a fun character who has the potential to be a compelling character but that is unrealized potential because the writers couldn't figure what to do with him.

 

[Demi-fiend]

Well, since DMC1 took a lot of "inspiration" from Gabriel Knight, then you might as well hire some former Sierra writers to fix this **** pronto.

I don't think that's right. Where'd you hear that? Was that even released in Japan?

 

[Demi-fiend]

I don't think that's right.

No, of course you wouldn't think so.

I'm not even going to bother.

Or telltale games as it would be so out of the left field it might just work.

 

[berto]

You're not? I was really hoping you'd show me prof that the game was released in Japan since I didn't find any but if you're giving up already then that's cool, too.

 

[ToCool74]

Lol this thread.

Maybe I should go to a Halo forum and rant about how much I hate Master Chief and see what kind of reactions I get.

Or maybe even a Legend of Zelda forum and explain why I think Link sucks balls?:nailbiting:

Point I'm trying to make here is that its sad that on a Devil May Cry forum so many people hate the lead character.

But hey, differing opinions and what not.*shrugs*

Everyone doesn't like the same things.

 

[DarkSlayerZero]

No people hate a specific version of him.

 

[ToCool74]

No people hate a specific version of him.

It seems the OP hates every version of him to me.

And besides, different version or not they are all considered the same character the series.

Its not like each version is a entirely different being, though I will admit the obvious inconsistency in the character development.

I'm rather neutral now on the "Dante"s that came after the original Dante since they're all just different interpretations of him. I say this because everyone has a different interpreation of fiction (be it story, setting, character, etc.), especially a well-known one, and that I am a willing open person open to others' interpreations of things.

It's like making a well-known dish. Each person has his/her ingredients for it.
For example: Here in the Philippines, we have this local dish called Adobo, which is meat (you can mix up to two kinds of it, the most common being chicken and pork) in a sauce made out of a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, laurel leaves, and black peppercorn as the base. Some people like to add sweetness so they add some brown sugar. Some people like it creamy so they add coconut milk. Some people can add pineapple tidbits from a can as a sweet garnish and use the syrup as an alternative to sugar. The possibilities on making adobo is absolutely endless! You guys should research on the different recipes of adobo and you'll see what I mean!
And with that being said, I have said my reason for my neutrality!

P.S. All this food talk makes me wanna cook my own version of adobo already!
