As much as I'd like to think Vergil was pulling a Xanatos Gambit, I think he really did believe that Dante would work with him in ruling the humans. Vergil does have an interesting point of view; his definition of "ruling" included protecting the humans, and he didn't define his rule as being anything like Mundus's. It's abit up in the air if Vergil would be prick dictator or a sort of king of human freedom. Or Good Cole vs Evil Cole.
Probably leaning somewhat towards prick dictator though, if that line about "sacrificing yourself for a GIRL? WTF!" means anything.
This right here. It's like people are ignoring what actually happened and mixing in their own interpretations with what happened. Vergil didn't get all "comic book villain" at the end. He didn't reveal some super evil plan. Honestly if not for the fact that "ruling over the humans" sounds morally wrong, it wasn't really a bad plan. He even said he would be nothing like Mundus. He had no reason to keep that hidden from Dante, or even think that Dante would care.They both just wanted to protect the humans in different ways.
And what's wrong with Twitter being used to show the reactions of the people? Yeah, they could've shown the news or something, but is seeing something on the news really the same as seeing public opinion from an unhinged source like the internet? If this whole reboot has taught us anything it's that people are a lot more..."open," when they have a screen name to hide behind. Sure this may be outdated 10 years from now(and only for the fact that it's over
Twitter), but are we not living in the present? It works perfectly well, and speaks to us
right now.
I can understand folks being upset at how abruptly it ended after Vergil left, and I can agree with that, but everything was delivered fine and we know for a fact that this isn't the end of the story thanks to Vergil's Downfall. I think Kat acted just as she was supposed to when dealing with the views of someone who wasn't even human, but ultimately saved her(the world, too) and took her in. I think the acting was great. It wasn't over the top dramatic and it wasn't completely dead. It was...normal. Like watching a movie or even watching it unfold in real life. They're all no more than 5 feet away from each other. They don't have to shout and draw out words and oversell their movements. It seemed really natural to me.
