MAN WHORE !!

HUH???

Fucking pardon T.T

Nero actually has the most Brooding Love Interest In A YA Romance Novel vibes. he's surly and rude to everyone except his girl, who he idolizes. he's rebellious against your religion/cult, but in a way that manages to channel your god's best traits. he's a bad boy but doesn't smoke or drink or anything, just listens to his music really loud and swears. he keeps running into sexy lady demons but doesn't pay them any attention bc he loves you so much. he's part demon and really angsty about it and needs your tender reassurance.

i know there was a whole pack of highly repressed Fortuna church girls who had massive crushes on Nero, but Nero never realized because he was too in love with Kyrie.

Post dmc5 where vergil would rather take his insatiable twin on a lovely bonding trip than paying for child support

nero's honest reaction: 🖕

(on a more serious note I need to see them TALK. PLEASE CAPCOM

what are you looking for in your reflection of despair?

Lotta people say Dante and Vergil are both in the wrong in DMC5 and I’m sorry but. No I do not agree with that. Dante had every right to be pissed at Vergil in that game especially after he committed mass murder twice. I think blaming Dante is… well I don’t get it. He had no reason to believe Vergil could change for the better until Nero showed up and beat the shit out of him.

This is NOT Vergil hate. I love Vergil a lot and yes he’s a nuanced character I just dislike when people act like Dante is at fault for DMC5’s events.

I still remember your face...

Why do you think the DMC fandom reacted with such vitriol to the show, unlike other fandoms like Sonic or CV? Personally, while NDMC is not a good product in any way, not even as its own thing because it's either dull or offensive, I didn't find it that inherently worse than NCFV or Nocturne or anything related to Sonic.

Is it because the fandom is bigger? Because fans are not so starved they would eat dirt, like CV fans in 2017? Or because this format of snarky adaptations that only tangentially adapt famous games in the series is finally growing stale?

I am being sincere when I say that I think that DmC Devil May Cry gave them antibodies.

This series has been through LITERALLY the EXACT same thing before. A western produced "new continuity" that loses the heart and soul of the original games while wiping its ass with the characterization and thematic intentions of those games, and is bloated to the brim with americacentric political commentary that's so on the nose that even people who agree with it should be annoyed.

It is one to one exactly the same product. And the people who DEFENDED that game were saying the EXACT same things that the people who are sucking off the netflix show are saying. Word for word.

The body can fight off an infection more easily the second time around.

Other game franchises haven't really had that experience, not really. Castlevania had Lords of Shadow, but that wasn't... icky. In the way that Netflixvania was. You know? It was just its own thing, it wasn't an offensive selfish mockery of everything that the franchise and characters were about. Even in the way that continuity made drastic changes to Trevor/Alucard and Dracula himself, it really did feel like it was just a new take. Whereas Netflixvania felt like it was actively saying that the video games were stupid, the characters from the games were nonexistent, and what they were creating was superior in every way.

It's like a pretentious spitefulness. That's how I would describe the likes of DmC Devil May Cry and Netflix May Cry, and Netflixvania and IDW Sonic and the Paramount Halo live action show ect ect. Shlock made by narcissists who think they're creating REAL ART out of an inferior source material.

DMC is also unique I think in the fact that after DmC Devil May Cry happened, we did end up getting DMC5 later. A return to the original continuity, and it was wildly popular and successful. So there was a vindication for the OG fans thanks to the new game. So the Netflix show feels even more egregious in the face of that.

cool looks for battling with demons and Dante

so thrice dante has killed him. first, above temen-ni-gru. then, at mallet island.

and now a third time. it is the ultimate homicide: he has slaughtered vergil’s character, his very spirit.
