LOL WUT ?? Vergil is a very simple character mind you i like the Rebooted version much more because he has more of a character depth then the original.
Dude.. he's a 2d character idk what's so hard to understand here !
> He unleashes Evil (Knowing that it will kill many humans)
> He Attempts to end his competition (His own brother)
> He wants to gain power at the expense of human world merging with demon world
> He is selfish and wants power but doesn't want to share it with others.
All these actions scream loud&clear that he is a in fact EVIL.
Like I said, way to oversimplify.
His actions are evil and therefore so is he but people keep dismissing his actions as ether selfish or greedy, why? You were shown his motivatios for his actions in DMC3 and call the excuses and lies. Vergil might be alot of things but he isn't a lier, nor is there any lie in what was shown in DMC3, why would you think that there was? What possible reasons could you have for dissmissing the character you were shown for some baseless notion that belittles that?
Let me tell you how I see Vergil. People who were once victimized become one of two things, they ether continue to become victims or they become vitimizers. Vergil falls in the later, they become victimizers because they refuse to be victims ever again, to feel that sence of helplessness, that and he knows whats out there and in order to never feel like that again, helpless, they will go to great lenghts to make sure of that, in this case he wants more power, and knowing full well who was the most powerfull of them all he feels entitled, too.
Vergil, and this is from the developers themselves, is Dante's shadow, and Dante is Vergil's. Two sides of the same coin, mirror images. The possibility that almost was and in many ways is. The hatred they feel towards the other isn't as simple as that, it's also the hatred of themselves that fuels them to the violence they inflict on the other.
So with that you'll have to forgive but I dissagree with you're statement that DmC's version of Vergil is more intresting as he goes from been a samurai, in a very classical way, to a computer nerd who obviously doesn't know how hold a sword and is more often than not just there to make Dante cooler by comparison. Add to that his really uninteresting choise of vocabulary which was meant to make him sound more inteligent but comes out overly theatrical and phony and you got a very mismatched re iteration. Well, I suppose if you are trying to recreate a character it's better to go all out. At least when I saw him I could tell it was Vergil, unlike the first time I saw new Dante.
It's like Loki and Thor. Loki has loads more fans because he's the intellectual one with a tragic-ish past and motivations.
