I think there are stories to tell with her post 3. I just lost faith in the current team's ability to tell them.
Yeah, well, your not kidding. The anime made the cast completely different and just unlikable. I can't think of a single person in the show with any charm. The stories were... passable, but the presentation was dull and uninspired. The characters are shallow and phony and it creates a world that is nonsensical. Its logic is stupid and its ideas are goofy.
I'm not sure who Lady is without her revenge but that's worth exploring.
Oh, there is plenty to explore but they don't really stick to their own ideas or narratives long enough to. Eg. Lady is descendant of the woman who Sparda sacrificed in order to seal the demon world. She has divine blood which, by the way, is from her father. That's worth looking into. And do they? Nope. Never mentioned again. There is a game, I don't remember which, where you can use a move by Lady that heals the party. Why not look into that? Because the people who made the anime don't seem to know about that and if they do they didn't think there was anything there worth telling about. Dante tells her she can't go and fight her father because facing something like that is 'not something a human could do,' if I remember the line correctly. Then, from the anime going forward, she's suddenly 'one of the most badass women in the world.' What's that about? Is there a story behind that or is she just so popular that they decided to upgrade her with no rhyme or reason and assume nobody would question it? This would've been the time to explain why a human can suddenly take on a demon of this caliber but, no. There is no real thought behind these things. Just shallow action stories.
3 set up some real background to the characters but, after, it never went anywhere.
Nocturne felt like 4 done better when I watched it so I'm curious what their take on Nero would be.
SMT Nocturne or Castlevania Nocturne?
You should tag people when you quote them. I didn't get a notification for this post.
Yeah. I've not seen the bell show activity the last few time I was here. I had to click on it to see the notifications.
Nero actually works better as a character in DmC to be honest
I think that might've been the idea. Nero and DmC Dante have
waaayyy too many parallels for them to not be prototypical versions of each other. What I mean is that each is the source or origin of the other. 4's Nero is that basis for DmC Dante and mDante is the basis for 5's Nero. Not just in personality or design but in gameplay, too. He might be a combination of both Dante and Nero but I definitely see more Nero than Dante in him.
