So new DMC animated series are coming to Netflix

@adreamer5920 in the comments. It's funny because it's true.
Well, I don't know about that.

It's such a weird idea, that a person calls themselves visionary. When people say 'calling him a visionary' I pause because no one calls him that. Him and the Netflix accounts call him that. The trailer for his show calls him that. If the only people giving you accolades are you and the people who are paid to do so then it gives off a bad impression. I know I might be coming off sounding a bit hostile but I'm serious. Who calls him that? I've never heard anyone call him that outside of himself and Netflix or whoever is being paid to do so. In no reviews of Castlevania, Laserhawk or whatever else he's worked on have I read or heard that phrase to describe him. It sounds nice, being called 'visionary,' but if it's not true then it's just self aggrandizing and it doesn't paint a pretty picture.

Edit:
By the way, this is a mistake:

The front part of the gun is an addition. That's stationary. It's not part of the slide.

This is how it's supposed to look.

Then those are "people who call him a visionary", and they're dumb for doing it. That's it. End point. This sounds like uselessly splitting hairs on the notion that it's "paid entities" and not "the audience" doing it, which is not what the original comment ever asserted — that comment never said "audiences call him a visionary", they were calling out exactly how dumb and self-aggrandizing Adi is, and Netflix on his behalf.

I wasn't denying that nor implying that people don't know. What I'm saying is that it rather than finding it amusing it left me bulged to actually see it, that I don't find it funny because it's such a blatant tag. If you made the joke 'such a visionary that he's made the same show twice,' which is true, I wouldn't laugh because I'm more weirded out about the fact that someone actually said it than at any humor to be found in that statement. It's like episode of Xena where Ares becomes mortal and some guy tries to kill him saying he's called battling Siki and Xena just looks at the dude and tells him that no one has ever called him that. Now we have that, here, in this tangible world. It's not funny, it's surreal, baffling, even.

You make a good point. Give me money.

He's been called a "visionary" for no reason since season 1. He did make every facet of the actual DMC series less interesting and cohesive in the anime than it is in the games. Netflix continuing to call him a visionary despite his incompetence, is certainly a move. The YouTube comment remains true.

The Xena episode has the redeeming factor that Battling Siki is a reference to the actual boxer from the 1920s, and Xena's comment that "no one's ever called you that, you just made it up" is funny because (a) the guy obviously isn't the real Siki (b) the entire show's setting takes place before Siki's time so that just reads as a made-up word.

its not that serious bro. Netflix hyped up Shankar and the comments disagreed.
I know. I went on a small tangent because I found it so bizarre. You know how when you see someone get hit in the nuts on a video you laugh but when it happens in front of you your reaction is more 'holy crap, dude, are you ok?' Same deal. You see it in fiction and it's supposed to speaks you of the character and who they are, you can laugh or whatever, but when you see it in real life it hits different. That's all I was saying. Went on a tirade about it which, hey, I am allowed to do.

Wasn't debating that. At all.
