I would not be surprised if much like the Empire grunt writing in Han's last name as "Solo" because he came by himself in that awful spin-off movie, this cartoon might also suffer "prequel-litus" (technical term donut steal) where they insist on explaining every little detail of a character's past that no one wanted answers for like how Lady got that scar.

Better call saul did a similar approach so im hoping they follow that show's lead instead.I would not be surprised if much like the Empire grunt writing in Han's last name as "Solo" because he came by himself in that awful spin-off movie, this cartoon might also suffer "prequel-litus" (technical term donut steal) where they insist on explaining every little detail of a character's past that no one wanted answers for like how Lady got that scar.

Yes, I noticed that. Adi via Twitter said that Lady is going to get her scar in the serie. A part of her evolution like the oufit.

Well, now that I got a little more time to type I'll explain what I was thinking.
Lady didn't have that scar in the manga for 3. In fact, she has a bunch of scars all over in the game. not just the one in her nose. There is a pretty prominent one on her leg. There always was this implied idea that she got all of those scars on the day her father killed her mother; violence done to both of them. Well, I guess that's no longer the case. It's really hard to get anything from the series to stick and I think this anime is going to make it all the more convoluted, specially when you have people who can't read between the lines and will burn all before getting through their heads that they're wrong. It's not like that's never been me but it's still not fun to talk to people in a fandom.
Funny thing. There was an interview a long while back, I forget where, from one of DMC3's makers. He mentioned that people often thought that Lady's mother was the descendant of the priestess she inherited her blood from but in actuality it was Arkham who was the descendant of said priestess. Well, it turns out that there is a conflicting account for that. In the Trinity of Fates book there is a relationship chart where the arrow pointing from Lady's mother to her says that she is where she got that blood from.
I don't know. Sometimes it feels like DMC canon is so hard to pin down because there isn't anything concrete to pin down.

i dont think this twist helps Arkham as a character but maybe the show can use it better?
on the differing canon, its better to just take what you want and do your own thing if you adapt a story with multiple versions.

I don't know that I'd call it a twist. Each interpretation implies different possibilities for Arkham. If his wife is the descendant it shows that he went out of his way to find a descendant and wed her, have a child, and use/sacrifice them both, one for demonic power, the other to open the door. If he's the descendant it means that he let his daughter get away so she could track him down because he was unwilling to risk hurting himself.
But, yar, your right that at this point you might as well just take whatever preference you have. If the canon really is multiple choice, as unstable a ground as it might be, might as well make the best of it.

there are also writers in Marvel and DC that do try to treat everything as canon. Its not really feasible but its something that could be done more easily with DMC.

That would only be their canon though, self contained to the anime only and not the universe and games.
