Limbo and the real world

Well, I think the "real world" is the one that everyone else wants us to believe... and "limbo" is actually the reality put in place to keep us asleep.

If I was using Eye of Dante then Mc Donalds food would be evil and made by demons...besides it makes people unhealthy in real life anyway.

Goldman and Sachs really would be Silver sacks bank like DmC. Plus, in real life one guy from there really said bankers were 'just doing god's work':O

Coca cola would be like Virility and made by demons, and also energy drinks would too.
I especially agree with you on McDonalds. They have terrible food, anyway.

I'd have to wonder about Chef Ramsay. He's a celebrity, pretty well known, but he's always telling people to use fresh ingredients in their cooking. He'd be a pretty good influence, except that he's pretty much going against what demons would want. They probably wouldn't let him live.

Monsanto is another one that would be a demon.

Remind me why it's an important detail why he's diagnosed autistic?

Really, as an Aspergers child, I really hate whenever an autistic person does something stupid, we ALL pay the price.
I was given 2 satellite support aids just because I am Aspergers.
And this sounds like I'm trolling, but when they threaten to cuff me for bad behavior at school. THEY NEVER CARRY THAT THREAT THROUGH! Despite them saying that "That's what would happen to you right now if you weren't resource.", but all I want is to be treated like I'm not resource, and they deny me that, so I misbehave to REBEL!

Here's a hint for all of you parent's who have Aspergers or Autistic kids, STOP WITH THE SENSITIVITY BULLSHIT AND WE WILL STOP THINKING WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT
I feel you there man! I too have Asperger's Syndrome as well...
If I have Dante's eyes, then I can see that the majority of my family and relatives are either demons or demon collaborators, and found out I may be beyond human...

I feel bad for the "mentally retarded". They're being controlled by demons.

Including....
- celebs being cursed by fame of wrong paths
- abuses, kidnapping, murders
- unhealthy food & drinks
- entertainment turned worse in Hollywood, Las Vegas & the entire USA
- politics
- several religions - Musilims fearing Christians.

- Christians are guided by angels and by God, so they're fine.

Wonder if Christians can see through behind the real world/Limbo.

- celebs being cursed by fame of wrong paths Very true. Celeberity is a curse in a way. Money in exchange for being stalked by crazy fans, lies in the papers, no privacy, can't leave the house because of paparazzi stalking....not a good life at all. No wonder so many celebrities kill themselves or need drugs to cope.
Then there's the influence celebrities have on people to buy things and make people want to be like them. It's a vicious circle.

- several religions - Musilims fearing Christians. It's the other way around as well. Christians fearing Muslims. I'm all for peaceful worship if that's what makes someone happy, but using religion to hate or fear someone of a different religion is pitiful.
Christians had their holy wars and crusades back in the middle ages against Muslims like Saladin in the name of their god; and now in modern times there are some Muslims doing the same thing in the name of their god and religion.
If anything, it's like all religion is a tool for certain people to practice hatred of many forms. I wish people would be religious for the right reasons of wanting to be closer to their god, caring about other people and being peaceful. Instead it's like religion has become 'my god is better than your god, and I hate you for your choice of god'.

- Christians are guided by angels and by God, so they're fine.I don't think Christians are guided by angels or god. I've seen Christians that acted like they were controlled by evil. Catholic priests doing terrible things to children in their care; christians who were bigots with too much pride, envy and hatred, and even this Mormon video saying that people are cursed with black skin:blink: That's just not right. It's like some people use their faith to hate and abuse others while claiming that they are righteous, god is on their side, and they will go to heaven.

They can't see more than any other religion.

Just on the video, most of that video gave details that we were never taught in church. For example, God was never given a name in our religion. And they got a few other things wrong, too. Yes, dark skin was allegedly a curse, but not from the events they talked about. I never even understood the idea of it being a curse.

Anyway, on the idea of Christians being able to see evil, I agree with you that they're like all the others. So no one would be safe from the control of demons.

That's a relief. I have heard other christians say that about dark skin, but they were Evangelical. According to them, people with darker skin are given to them by god to put in their place and teach them to be humble in preparation for heaven:blink:

There's a quote by Baudelaire that fits: 'The devil's best trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist.' So, like DmC, evil could be anywhere and everywhere, but people wouldn't be able to see it because the evil would lie and convince people that it is good.

What's funny to me is that the Mormon church lost a lot of members when they decided to let black men have equal rights in the church. Talk about an easy way to lose most undesirables.

That's a great quote. There's also the fact that people will believe what they want, so it makes it even easier to convince people that something is right even when it isn't. No wonder it was so easy for Mundus to control everyone in DmC. No one wanted to believe he was evil.

Well good. No point in having people who hate in religion that teaches kindness.^_^

There is that newspaper in the game. I took a look at the article and it actually says that he's (well, Kyle Ryder) 'enigmatic corporate figure.'
So they didn't know anything about him before the president made him head of finances. Mundus could have just said anything and they would have thought it was true because they knew nothing about him.
It also helped that prior to the game, Mundus had already established Virility as a successful drink (as seen in Vergil comic) so it would have been even easier to brainwash people into putting him in charge.

Plus, I get the feeling he caused the financial collapse and then made himself seem like a saviour, because the same in-game artice mentions huge sums of money mysteriously vanishing.Then a week prior to the events of the game, Mundus is put in charge of finances.

I never even read that article in the game.

He just keeps sounding better with everything established about him (being sarcastic). He probably did cause the financial collapse. To gain more control, and to look better to everyone, he probably would have done more if he'd had the chance. If you've watched Dracula: The Dark Prince, Dracula pretty much did something similar by bringing peace through murder. It was a case of the ends justifying the means. It wouldn't be hard to compare Mundus to Dracula, except I think Dracula was more cruel. Mundus at least gave quick deaths.

I didn't read it in the game either.:p I ripped it from the game disc because it only shows a bit of the article, which is a shame because there are a few interesting details in it.

Quick deaths except for Eva and what he was going to do to Dante.

Seems like his plan was to cause a huge problem and then seem like finantial saviour.

Speaking of Dracula and Mundus being alike, I thought of another thing they have in common. Dracula (in Stoker's version anyway) has to travel with soil from his homeland to be able to exist in England.
Mundus has to be with the hell gate at all times or he isn't able to recharge his power. And as we see when Vergil shuts down the hell gate, he's trapped in his human vessel.

They should have had the news clipping as a note like in Silent Hill.

Well, ripping out their hearts would be fairly quick. They wouldn't be that likely to live long afterward.

Wouldn't that have worked better if it was more than just financial?

I didn't even think of that. Which is bad since that's a detail that was in both the movie and book. Now I'm trying to think of other similarities... And this is where it would be very nice to know more about Mundus. I can think of things that both the real and fictional Draculas did, but there isn't much about Mundus to compare to them.
