I want to be clear about something with the new clip from the DMC show, I don't like the quip Dante made at the end. But not because it's dumb or cringey.

Dante's always acted like an idiots, but the difference between game Dante and show Dante is that game Dante is confidently cringey. Look at this guy.

He's a fucking dork. But he's confidently a dork. In most of his scenes where he's acting like a goof, he's completely alone. Hell, in DMC3 when Lady is pouring her heart out about how Arkham killed her mum he's laughing and dancing around like a jackass, and after the Faust Hat dance you clearly see that Trish is unimpressed by his performance, but he doesn't care. Dante doesn't play to an audience, so long as he thinks what he's doing is cool he'll do it. And that confidence that he's being cool even when he's doing something stupid as fuck is what makes him ACTUALLY COOL.

So having him try to impress some woman he saved feels out of character. I would have much preferred if had had said something really, really stupid and the woman cringed like she just ate a whole lemon than him trying to impress her with a lame one liner. He should have acted in a much more like a confident dumbass rather than telling this lady that he's usually cooler.

Also referencing He-Man just feels like shitty marvel humour and I don't think it fits at all. The three stooges comment worked much better.

She gets the last laugh, even from beyond the grave.

Modern day equivalent would be Sparda complaining about a bad picture getting posted online. He's a lil' bit too ancient for that though.

Friendly reminder that this guy has read Berserk and wants to animate it

Oh sure he says he's trolling in other tweets but after seeing his take on Dracula I ain't convinced

Yeah no this is 100% consistent with his take on Dracula that he released on interviews:

“The best villains, in general, are the heroes of their own story and the trick to making Castlevania resonate was this idea that Dracula isn’t a bad guy, he isn’t a villain, he’s just a person consumed with darkness," Shankar told us. "That first episode in Season 1 we start to see why he wants to eradicate humans. He’s not just this mustache-curling, one-dimensional villain. What Dracula is doing is not really a war against humanity. It’s more a suicide note.”

What about the whole concept of redemption arcs? That I’m totally on board with. Because let’s say, let’s say Dracula had been a cartoonish villain, then you wouldn’t have had in season one. You wouldn’t have had that entire backstory of trying to get in touch with this humanity and all that stuff and why all of a sudden his war against humans in the show is justified. So without that backstory, he becomes this like cartoony villain. I just I feel like, it’s important to kind of get across that the bad guys are really the heroes of their own narrative.

So when he insists on saying things like this?

You don't get to jump up and down yelling "I'm kidding! I'm just kidding! Haha I was just pretending and y'all fell for it, sike!" when we have proof, including a whole season of an acclaimed show (and I'm not talking about the whole show because I don't know how much input Shankar had on S4, I don't think much) of you exposing your views that a monstrous, genocidal villain who was willing to exterminate humankind and let vampirekind starve to death did actually nothing wrong and he's just a sad little bean.

Also, didn't he also call Sephiroth an anti-hero?

“It’s true,” he tells USA Today. “I’m drawn to anti-heroes with a strong point-of-view. Sephiroth is from an era where ‘bad guys’ felt one-dimensional across all media and in video games they felt especially mustache twirly. From a style perspective, I feel like the Final Fantasy series in its futurist dystopian entries had amazing fashion that I would – and do – replicate with my own spin.”

I think Shankar deadass thinks that anti-heroes are villains with a tragic backstory. He really would, unironically, propose that Griffith did nothing wrong because he was tortured.

I know why he's doing this: he thinks he's crafting some deep, morally nuanced narratives. But by insisting that destructive villains are just poow widdle meows meows and really Not So Bad After all, while relegating "villainy" to what he describes as "mustache-twirling" (basically the older stupid games), he's flattening the narrative. Evil can come from anyone, even from those who we find sympathetic. You can mean well and still do harm. You can have suffered more than you deserve and still not have the right to inflict that suffering back. His narrative in NFCV was heavy handed and forced me to sympathize with a lethargic monster who is in some verses even more callous than his game counterpart just because wife died, instead of simply allowing me to come up with my own conclusions.

I'm sorry, DMC fans. Good luck.
