Adi talking about the cringe joke and apparently it was with a intentional to be bad and out of character to show an evolution from his Dante to the Dante of DMC3 (I don't understand does he try to look it to be canon to games?)

Ah, so we've reached the popular "it's meant to be bad" defence before the product has even come out, that must be a new record. Perhaps someone should tell Shankar that if he wants people to respond more positively to his work, perhaps he should put the bits that are meant to be good in the advertisement instead? A bold strategy Cotton, I know.

Be that as it may, he's going about it the right way here. There are a lot of creators who'd react with a defensive attitude and maybe even attack the comment and poster. To take a friendly approach and an 'I hear you' attitude is at the very least commendable and the right move in this situation. Best would be to not engage but if you want to maintain a rapport with the online community taking this route is the best way.

Someone offline said to me the other day that since JYB is voicing the main character, maybe it would have been better to just have had Nero be the protagonist. Thinking about it, adapting DMC4 instead of 3 would have been preferable to me as I was never enamored with the plot of 3 even with all the additions that the manga tried to crowbar in, and 4 is basically the most anime-esque of the games anyway. If you just make some tweaks to adapt it better to screen, such as adding in how Nero got the Devil Bringer and showing more of Nero's relationship with Credo and the Order to emphasise how terrible their betrayal hits, it could have worked quite well IMO.

If it had been a Nero anime it would have been better received i think.

I hope my gut feeling is wrong and it won't be more cringe

It's just not the same.

I have a time machine. It's bad.

Yep, not even remotely close in fact and just does not fit. Bosch tends to just raise his voice or shout rather than properly act out emotions, reuben and dan are better in terms of getting them across.

Hearing Last Resort by Papa Roach was rather eery for me since that was a song I suggested would be fitting for the show.

Rofl, he got Lady's eyes wrong and she looks so awful with that stupid robotic costume and her hair is way too short and there's so much pandering slop.

Okay combat looks a lot better, and i still can't get behind bosch as dante but he is mild compared to the trainwreck choice for vergil

ironclad now, watching it in japanese

-It looks fun.
- I don't mind Daymond as Vergil but I'd need to hear more in order to really judge his performance.

I'm still digesting my thoughts and will give a detailed response to the trailer later, but it is absolutely wild to me that Kevin Conroy is in this. Just goes to show how long ago they must have recorded the audio since he died back in 2022.
