So apparently Dante was some kind of Mortal Kombat ninja in the beginning

[crush]

Aww...That three stages of Dante's life is so creative.
It could have been like Star wars episode 1-3 In which Dante grows up like Anakin Skywalker.

Am I the only one who thinks the middle one is a maskless handsome Deadpool

I can't really see it. He looks like Francis if anything.

NeoDante hates everything
Francis hates everything
I see the similarity

There's one exception though.

Its a darn shame that he never actually puts on his hoodie

Left: I don't like it, it's too rugged to be Dante.
Middle. Am I the only one here who thinks he's holding that gun like a pansy? So not cool.(also looks more like Vergil... )
Right: TAKE IT ALL OFF BABEH!!!!!!!

I definitely LOVE the one in the middle. If they could've sticked to that one, there wouldn't have been an outrage back when the first trailer came out.

And the current Dante looks badass with his hood on!

I actually don't like the middle one because it looks less like the original Dante and fans wouldn't like that and call him a "gay emo ninja naruto guy".

It should, it looks like it was referenced from a specific photo of Jason Statham. I know this because I have that photo for...research purposes. A little too rugged for Dante, methinks. Although Statham does look good with hair on his head for once.

Anyway, the far right drawing is frigging amazing. Get rid of the weird sash and loincloth and it would have been perfect, a unique take, but still the familiar badass in red. Man, we could have had it all, Capcom and NT. We could have had it aaallll.

To be fair, that Dante wouldn't have fit at all with the story NT eventually came up with. This guy looks like a competent freedom fighter with a cause, to me, instead of an aimless punk newly recruited by freedom fighters. That would have been an interesting take, but not good for an origin story, if the main character is already settled into who he is and what he's fighting for.

Anyway, I'm sad now.

Seriously?

 

[Martius]

OH that must be just how Ninja Theory is treating their source material.

 

[DragonMaster2010]

Seriously?

I found the first pic funny. (Because he fits so well in that pic if he didn't have the gauntlets and mask and greeves.)

The second pic isn't accurate. New Dante doesn't seem like the type to listen to that kind of music.

The third pic is dead on, because I could see old Dante wearing those kind of clothes. New Dante looks the type to wear more Brooklyn or street style.
