Sexo ebony queen of /co/
>mother became a vampire >sees pretty brooding vampire >instantly wet Why is she like this?
NiggaSekmet was ACTUALLY hot as fuck man
Say what you will but attractive women still being attractive is a huge win.
>>147155412Richter bleached that
>>147155364Wow...that was shit.
Just pull the plug on this show Netflix, it's cooked.Oh wait sorry...HOLY FUCK, FUCKING FUCK NETFLIX. PULL THE FUCKING PLUG ON THIS FUCKING SHOW....FUCK.
>>147155449>retards think slop like this is goodNo wonder anime is kicking everyone's ass.
>>147155459Anime has been shit too and the same retards think that is good. Media as a whole is complete garbage and morons cheer for more because they don't know what good looks like.
Episodes 7 and 8 were great>hero fights villain>damsel in distress>hero gets the girl>hero gets a magic sword>hero slays the dragonToo bad you have to slog through 6 episodes (3 hours) of boring nothing to get to it
>>147155428I wish I could colonize too.
>>147155459I honestly dont know who would like this unironically. Aside from it barely being Castlevania, the dialogue is just so poor it's unwatchable.
>>147155364>laughs in Dacian
so how much actual castlevania is even in this "castlevania show" because everything I hear and see about it seems like retarded fanfiction made people who hate working with the source material
>>147155394wtf
>>14715553420%
Problems with the show>too many charactersIt should've just been Richter, Maria, Annette (white), and Maria's mom against Dracula or some French aristocratic vampires. We didn't need Juste, Orlox, that gay Knight, the priest, Alucard (controversial, I know) and whatever>stupid arcsWe really didn't need the priest to be Maria's dad. That was retarded. We didn't need Maria being a revolutionary. She's a girl and girls should be into pretty private things. >niggersWe really didn't need all the Haitian shit. Too many blacks in a show set in 1790s France>Vampires and night creatures in the sunWtf was that?>Richter with magicI know its canon, but I like Richter being the muscle while Maria is the magic>awful scenesYou'd think France in the past would have narrow winding muddy cobblestone paths and dirt trails, and that troops would march in single file; but not in this show>female French general Wha....>fuck fuck fuckJust add some Alucard fucking underage Annette scene I fucking dare you, Netflix, you wanna be adult? Go all the way>Egyptian stuffThere is a place for a Castlevania story with Egyptian theme, this is not it>8 episodesThis show could've been a 90 min movie. Too much chaffe>no castleI want Castlevania to be a dungeon crawler in Dracula's castle, full of ghosts, monsters, spiders and cobwebs, ancient treasure, self opening doors, hidden doors, candles flickering on their own, shadows out of nowhere, paintings moving eyes, maze like, full of mystery and curses and spells and grimoires
>>147155532Nosferatu was so good, caught me a little offguard how different he looked from Orlok but it was probably for the best. Also Dafoe was brilliant as always.
>>147155521Dialogue was always slop, but I enjoy the characters and scenery.
>>147155478cope
>>147155561Dafoe is one of the most based men alive. Never seen him give anything less than 100% to a role.
>>147155567you sure are
>>147155574>picrelExcellent film as well, I liked the scene with him talking about the Dracula book and mentioning how depressing it was.
>>147155560Season 1 already proved this was poorly written slop from the start so it's not surprising season 2 equally as bad. The fags writing this shit can't make a good story to save their lives.
>>147155561Egger's Nosferatu is a gem. Sure, some of the scenes pulled out from The Exorcist and other demon possession of women in night gowns was funny, but the movie really was perfect for being a dark Gothic romance fairytale tragedy set in 19th Century Europe. I watched it in IMAX while high on magic mushrooms for further immersion. The music and scenes were all beautiful, mesmerizing, and detailed. Definitely worth rewatching >extended edition is on the way
>>147155577>no ukis nigga
>>147155580KINOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9egKJpSr6Y
>>147155603You need a y, sanjay
>>147155586I hoped Season 2 would be good. I thought the whole world or atleast all of Europe was in eternal darkness because of the eclipse. I thought that would lead to constant vampire on man feeding frenzy. Instead, we have daylight again yet somehow all these evil creatures are perfectly fine in the sun or they just linger about under a shady tree. Kinda unfortunate. I always felt that daytime was time to prepare for the coming danger, that dusk was when the tension builds up, that night was when the massacre happens, and that dawn was the relief when all the evil beings scram and scurry for their dark hideouts
>>147155560I feel like the Haitian shit is really cool, but not fucking Castlevania. A completely original series about African or Haitian shit would be sick but I'm here for vampires and vampire hunters, not the souls of fucking Egyptian gods causing DBZ power ups.
>>147155364>I am Richter FUCKING Belmont and I slay GODDAMN vampires!
>>147155632what the fuck is it with specifically western writers doing this all the time?it's writing that's amateurish, lame, and comes off as if it's written by a teenager trying to act mature to other adults but's always writers in their 30s
>>147155625The writers lack actual interest in writing vampires and vampire hunting is what I got from this show. Almost all of this has nothing to do with Castlevania, season 1 and 2 were more consistent with how vampires and monsters work.
How many post coitus scenes?
>>147155646The mark of a bad writer is when they need to throw in cursing to a serious scene to reinforce the fact that something's serious. If it's fitting the story, like a gangster film or war movie, it can be done properly. But Castle FUCKING vania? It's just way too out of place
>>147155364>>147155412SEXO
>>147155586>>147155625Cont.In the og Netflix Castlevania, there was a plan teased out over the entire long slog that was Season 3 that Carmilla and her sisters will have their horde of night creatures lay siege to a valley, chasing lots of men into a giant pen, so they could feed forever. Ofcourse, absolutely nothing of substance happened in Season 3 involving the evil sisters>which shouldve numbered three, but they had to add a lesbian romance for which no one cares aboutSo I hoped Season 4 would have Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, and Isaac trapped in this siege and be forced to meet and fight their way out. Possibly have a three way war with Isaac and his horde against Carmilla and her horde and Trevor and the crew stuck in the middle of it. I also hoped Isaac would want to bring back Dracula from Hell, throwing another wrench into the mess. Unfortunately, the season didn't go that way, so we had kino fight scenes and cringe prolonged dialogues
>>147155678I forgot those dyke vampires existed. Did they even do anything? All I remember is neither of them were hot and I stopped watching after a few eps of season 3.
>>147155627The Haitian stuff is cool, but that scene with the singing night creature opera boy chanting some old rebel slave song while vampires were charging French grenadiers across a Gothic bridge amidst Parisian ruins at night was just...out of place. Even that scene when Annette was in some ordinary workshop, sitting cross-legged like a yogi, floating in mid air, would've looked better if she was on a hilltop, in a cave, or behind a waterfall; not in some random ordinary house in Paris lol
>>147155617 I accept your concession
>>147155560>It should've just been Richter, Maria, Annette (white), and Maria's mom against Dracula or some French aristocratic vampires. We didn't need Juste, Orlox, that gay Knight, the priest, Alucard (controversial, I know) and whateverJuste was a great addition to the show, in theory. Much better than Maria's made up OC mom. Maria never had a mom in the games, both her parents were killed by monsters. Your Alucard point is not controversial because they added him too early anyway, and the overcrowded cast makes it worse.>I know its canon, but I like Richter being the muscle while Maria is the magicCome on now, it's necessary to showcase Sypha's role in the Belmont lineage.
>>147155701Dyke vamps did nothing except slow down the show. There was one scene when the butch one puts on armor straight out of Berserk and beats a mob. Ultimately, Season 4 is good if you like lots of acrobatic duels full of fire and ice flying about. But if you're into a tale of passionate love, tragic sadness, heroic bravery, or unleashed fury; this was not it. Every danger lurking around the corner seems to be beaten in a duel, there's no need for stealth, speed, surprise, skills, smarts, or use of surroundings.
>>147155732>dyke vamps did nothing So they were literally pointless then? Well, I can't say I'm too surprised. And nah, I dropped Netflixvania years ago and never went back especially after what I heard about what they did to Alucard.
>>147155727>it's necessary to showcase Sypha's role in the Belmont lineageMaybe its just me, but I felt Richter's "awakening" was unearned. I mean, he wa crying one moment and going HaDOOOKEN the next. Also, he seemed to have mastered it with very little experience. I also think magic is something learnt rather than inherited in the world of Castlevania. Sypha was a speaker and so she definitely seemed to be the learned one who was also literate in multiple languages even though being from an oral culture
>>147155364Show needs more diversity
>>147155764There's a character thats a cross between Luffy and Roshi, he briefly appears like in ep 5 when black Annette sends her mind into an African spirit world
>>147155654There's vanilla.
>boy fucks GoddessI want more of this alongside boy fucks milf>yes, I self insert as the boy cuz I got no milf pussy when I was a boy :(
>>147155758The Speaker shit was invented for the show. The games explicitly say that the Belnades clan are genetically predisposed to be magicians, however you want to interpret that. Richter and Christopher inherited a limited magical ability. Juste inherited a lot of it, and he was specifically acknowledged as the greatest magic user among the Belmonts.Then there are some Belmonts, like Juste's grandfather Simon, who didn't use any magic, and other Belnades characters who are just purely magic users with or without Belmont ancestry.
*does nothing*
>>147155364Why is vampire Tera so ridiculously attractive? She was hot with capital H when telling Maria that she can hear her heart beating from across the room.
oooohhh
What was up with the fucking winged hussar fighting on foot with a flail and shield? In the 18th century no less? That was pretty hilarious
>>147155891Yeah, he just came out of nowhere.
>>147155364>show's message is that white bois shoud procreate with dark skinned goddessesYour response /co/?
>>147155917Don't care. I'm not watching this slop.
>>147155917Give me an ebony then.
>>147155917Take up the White Man's Burden
>>147155928>don't watch thing>enter thread about said thing>announce that you're not watching thingchan culture has really gone down the toilet
>>147155941Did somebody say skibidi toilet?
>>147155678>So I hoped Season 4 would have Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, and Isaac trapped in this siege and be forced to meet and fight their way out. Possibly have a three way war with Isaac and his horde against Carmilla and her horde and Trevor and the crew stuck in the middle of it. I also hoped Isaac would want to bring back Dracula from Hell, throwing another wrench into the mess.I suspect that Isaac was always going to dodge karma even when they were planning to make him the badguy.>>147155701>>147155732>>147155753The point of Carmilla is to keep Hector out of the story. The point of the vampire lesbians is to keep Carmilla out of the story. The point of Isaac fighting Carmilla is so that Hector doesn't do anything important.>Hearing Hector's voice actor say those heroic lines traumatize Ellis so he had to destroy and humiliates him to be able to sleep at night.>>147155808The Speaker shit was gay and retarded. I thought that they were going to be a missionary group like the Jesuits.
>>147156041You just made me realize Hector was probably treated the worst out of everyone in the cast now that I think about it. Isaac basically got off without any consequences and had the least shitty time despite being a horrible person.
>>147156079>Isaac basically got off without any consequences and had the least shitty time despite being a horrible person.The story frames it as not Isaac gaining redemption but Isaac forgiving the world thus this is why I said that the people who wrote the show and those liked it as not being human. Every other character is given a moment of humility. Alucard for choosing humans over his omnicidal father; Trevor & Sypha for thinking humanity is worth saving; and Hector for not supporting genocide and being written to be a retard. Death who isn't a servant of Dracula in this canon is the ultimate badguy is supposed to unite humans and vampires. Trevor calls Death "just a thing" and says that they are both "killers" that world doesn't need. This thematically ties the story together with its evil Materialist message where being an immortal parasite feeding off the young is actually good. Until it is time to make the vampires the badguys again because they decide to side with long lasting cultural institutions instead of burning it all to the ground for an inhuman secular cult which devolved into murderous purity spiral.>>147155678Before season 4 came out, I wrote intentionally spiteful greentext season 4 of the show. After season 4, I imagine both Dracula and Lisa returning as villains being wiped from existence by Alucard in a scene similar to Code Geass.
>>147155364>other people posting about nosferatuoh we're doing a vampire thread? cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc2q9boNunI
>>147156344The theme to the Herzog one is top spooky atmosphere.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqjOUR4ofz8
>>147156406nice
Tell me anons, did Juste get dragged through the mud? He's my boy, and I don't think I can stomach him getting disrespected a bunch.
>>147156137This looked like 2 big black booty cheeks with a buthhole on the left from the thumbnail kek.I thought they had a full on sex scene this time.
>Game has sickass anime cutscenes>we ended up with this shitThe only interesting thing is that they're going with the Dracula X art I give it to the art department who at least are CV fans. Why don't they just adapt the games? Isekais and D&D are very popular. People don't care if Frankenstein works with Dracula
>>147156426naw he gets through it decent enough. but doesnt get much of anything to do except walk around and babysit maria. he takes part in the liz fight and holds his own
How is this train wreck of a series still going?
>>147156643Netflix paid for 2 seasons of this dogshit so they were already working on season 2 by the time 1 came out. That's how shows on Netflix work, so they had to release this garbage because they already threw money at it.
>>147156426what? no, Juste is framed as a very powerful fighter and does a decent job in the final battle and doesn't die like you'd expect him to.he's also the most morally good character in terms of ideals and stances of the lot, as he frames doing good for the sake of it, quintessential, whereas everyone else has some reason they want to do good framed in an event in their life.
>>147156625>>147156841Well then, I may peek at the show for him, if that's the case.
>>147156137HAHAHAHAHA LOOK GUYS ALUCARD USED DARK INFERNO LIKE IN SOTNWE DEFINITELY CARE ABOUT BEING ACCURATE TO THE GAMES
>>147156861don't let everyone here fool you, nothing about the show is particularly woke other than a freed hatian slave who has earth-mancy being a cast memeber, who isn't particularly more powerful than any of the cast beyond her ability to commune with spirits which comes in handy.I don't really think this as "woke" since its set in France and Haiti was decidedly their fuckin problem so they are tangentially connected.I guess one turn away from the franchise is that despite Richter Belmont being quite the powerhouse, he isn't the center of attention whatsoever, which makes sense in this canon as Dracula ain't around.
>>147156906I don't think they ever once said they were going to be accurate to the games, Dracula was straight up redeemed and fucked off with his wife, this is an entirely different canon.
>>147156909>nothing about this show is particularly wokeAnon then lied as naturally as breathing.
>>147155364>we just had a thread completely shitting on the new season>all of a sudden we're getting damage control threadsNice try Powerhouse, you're not getting another season
>>147155783>director said he inserted himself into Richter's character which explains why Ricther is a giant pussy>Richter wants to fuck annoying black women even though the director's actually wife is whiteWhat did you mean by this Sam?
>>147156861idk if u should go that far. its not very good and juste spends lik 3 episodes just walking and the rest of the time tryin to get maria to stop being emo. maybe watch the 2nd to last ep if u wanna see him fight but otherwise he doesnt get much to do nor does he get have much screen time since theres lik 8 groups of characters the show jumps between
>>147157011No black woman with any standards wanted to fuck him so he made an imaginary one for his self-insert. No wonder this show is filled niggresses, they probably all turned him down.
>>147156594>I give it to the art department who at least are CV fansLmao no they're not
You people are vile.
>>147155364The Belmont clan now has the N word, the most powerful spell
>>147156664Then why does do streaming show go "bad" by the 2nd season? I'm not saying the first season is good but it usually the best the show will get.
>>147157043They're going for CVX artwork which is bigger than the writers and showrunners are going for. Yes, they have to come up with these cringe OC's ? But that's the showrunners' fault.
>>147157092The scripts are all probably written by the time the first season is done. But it feels like things get rewritten, changed completely, or writers don't even know where they're going with some of these stories once they get passed the premise. Season 1 and 2 of the firsr Castlevania felt almost like a different show compared to 3 and 4. Not to mention all the storyboarding and animation takes months to finish so everything is done in advanced. So if they wrote a shitty story but most of it is already in production then it's too late to change it because that means more work and lost time and money.
>>147157117The directors also claim to be fans of the games yet they let all of the cringe shit get approvedI don't care if they're trying to match CVX's art when everything else about the show is so unlike Castlevania
>>147155534The first part was like 60% Castlevania but Nocturne is just making shit up while insisting on adhering to the game timeline to no benefit.I don't get why, it might as well be an original story at this point.
>>147155491sounds a whole lot like season 2 of the first show
>>147157140>The scripts are all probably written by the time the first season is done. But it feels like things get rewritten, changed completely, or writers don't even know where they're going with some of these stories once they get passed the premise.This is like JJ Abrams' mystery box bullshit.>Season 1 and 2 of the firsr Castlevania felt almost like a different show compared to 3 and 4.You could just say Season 1. Season 2 already was like the S3 and 4. Season 1 was the script tardwrangled by Iga.>Not to mention all the storyboarding and animation takes months to finish so everything is done in advanced. So if they wrote a shitty story but most of it is already in production then it's too late to change it because that means more work and lost time and money.I heard that Netflix writers are terrible at storyboarding; so while they pay Japanese animators more, the Japanese animators end up doing a lot more work due to the storyboarder's general incompetency.
>>147155364>>147155412safe horny
>>147157288>spend weeks/months animating the storyboards sent to you >now have to start over because retarded directors changed their minds I'd kill someone if made me redo that much work...
>>147156137I can see the frame rate drop
>>147156909You literally get black egyptians and Sekhmet is also black too, for some reason, despite ancient Egyptians very ostensibly NOT being black. Haiti revolt heing painted as good and conventently skipping over the fact a not-insignificant number of Polish veterans defected to their side, because muh white people bad. Olrox's entire thing being essentially "Colonizers bad", gay sex everywehre, Christianity is evil French revolution was AMAZING and everyone was equal (less woke, more of a simply retarded take). No that scene with Alucard doesn't undermine that. Chirsitanity bad, a consistent point of this series.It's honestly surprising they managed to protray vampires as inherently evil (Juste, the smartest guy around saying so and Tera growing more deranged the longer she was away from Maria) which is weird because that required them to associate inherently evil stuff with beig inherently evil. I love our ebony goddess as much as the next guy, but this was just sad.
>>147156909Richter doesn't live in FranceRondo doesn't take place in FranceIt's Castlevania without the Vania, and without the Castle
>>147157379>You literally get black egyptians and Sekhmet is also black too, for some reason, despite ancient Egyptians very ostensibly NOT being black.WE WUZ
>>147157382>Rondo doesn't take place in Francethis was never billed as being rondo to be fair
>>147157379yea but Drolta was hot, so that's a plus.and the Haitan Revolution is great.. for the Haitians(for an incredibly brief time, haha!) none of the other characters have any context for it.they never frame Orlox's backstory with Coloniziation as anything but his fuckin problem, and frankly, for HIM it was a problem, lest we forget that the Spanish version of Colonization fucking sucked cock for the natives.He doesn't even have a particularly big bone to pick about the thing, just knew it was over, he fucked off and stared a different life, he's honestly the best character in the show, as he's completely detached from it all beyond whoever he can get some version of love from.and now on to what I agree,the depiction of Christianity in this series is fuckin laughably bad, it should be SOME shit apples, not consistently depicted as corrupt and enabling of evil, its almost wild how far they went with it, Father shitheel in this show is depicted on one side a reasonable man with simple goals, but on the other, does SO MUCH FUCKING EVIL that it really just boggles the mind, I thought somehow they would foolishly try and redeem him but no, thank god he gets torched by an Abyss Dragon.but hey, they did make their women hot, so that's definitely an upside against the usual woke shit.
>>147157379Spanish "colonizition" was so bad two entire nations in South America ceased to exist.I get its a meme by lefties to shit on it now, and thus people kneejerk defend modern versions of it to spite their insane takes, but come on son.at least with North American Colonization the Natives were violent warring assholes who caused problems till the bitter end so you can at least have some tit for tat, but the fucking Conquistadors were Giga-evil fucks.
>>147157531Anon, you're gonna get the mesoamerican autist from last thread on your ass if you talk like that
Any good fanservice/nudity?
>>147157531Didn't you read the last thread where that history autist basically detailed how people just hated being ruled by the Aztecs so much that their own people turned on them?The Spanish weren't saints but no one fucking liked the Aztecs.
>>147157588lol so? the Spanish WIPED OUT THEIR CIVILIZATION anon.I get spanish people are buckbroken on this but L O L.
>>147157631I'm not Spanish, you westoid nigger. And I just said the Spanish weren't saints but the Aztecs spent their days making human sacrifices thinking their gods would give them blessings if they offered lives (lol on them), did you really think people would've turned on them if they were le nice and benevolent? I fucking hate Amerifats like you that think any side was "a victim" or "heroic". Aztecs were shit and the Spanish were shit. Read a fucking book.
Will the Bantus stop we wuzing as goddamn egyptians already.
>>147157708Egyptians seem to be the hot new thing for diversity quotas currently. Not sure how that started though.
>>147157679nah, I don't think the Aztecs were great, but it doesn't mean you can waltz in, stick a flag in the ground of a nation and just go "we're killing everyone here and rapin ALL the women" and I have to condone or make some sort of retarded justification about it hundreds of years later, it was shit, the Aztecs were shit, and the Spanish were really shit.least you forget the Spanish were some of the most heinous torturer's in human history, we think the Aztecs were worse because they pulled hearts out on top of Ziggurats like its some how any different than putting people on breaking wheels or w/e the fucking uber complex shit they did.
>>147155560>I want Castlevania to be a dungeon crawler in Dracula's castle, full of ghosts, monsters, spiders and cobwebs, ancient treasure, self opening doors, hidden doors, candles flickering on their own, shadows out of nowhere, paintings moving eyes, maze like, full of mystery and curses and spells and grimoiresI don't understand why the show isn't this. It's literally easier to write too.
>>147155478Dr Stone singlehandedly shits on modern /co/
>>147157891It's easy to write for people who actually love those kinds of things, the writers for Shitflixvania are people who despise the source material and didn't play the games so they were never going make anything close to as fun as what anon just described. Instead we get turbo reddit tier atheist writing, gay sex scenes, muh historial revolutions, and things that have nothing to do with Castlevania.
>>147157379Yeah I typically don't hate things like challenging the morality of religious authority in fiction but it should come with a more nuanced depiction of morality as a whole. I am not a religious person, but if you only use a perspective of skepticism to shit on Christianity and nothing else, it just looks like someone breaking the fourth wall to vent grievances. In his universe demons and vampires are still firmly evil baby eaters, but they just changed the face of justice and order to paganism for some reason. It's still black and white. They just changed who the unambiguous force of good is. Even though the source material implies agents of the church are totally cool with using pagan magics to thwart evil.Castlevania's Christianity isn't the same religion as what the writer's parents practiced. It's a fictional world with its own rules and history.
>>147157958this is true 10000%.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4faMbs5oQ
>>147157958Based stone enjoyer.
>>147157991>>147157958well its because its a completely naked celebration of human acheivements, its so earnest in what it is that you will unironically reinvigorate your love for humanity with this show.the sheer amount of tedious work over thousands of years to get us to this point is never been so stark as in this show, it should unironically be shown in highschool science class.
>>147157958>Dr Stone Based and good tasteI kneel, brother
>>147158022>the sheer amount of work and knowledge needed to create a single Cocacola
>>147157958I liked Dr. Stone a lot but found it disappointing how toward the end they began glossing over the tech development as things became more modern and complex. Also the petrification cause being the medusas themselves felt lackluster, but then you spend all that time building up a mystery its no doubt going to be disappointing. Still as far as manga goes, it held my interest longer than most and had a very well done premise.
>>147157800>like its some how any different than putting people on breaking wheels or w/e the fucking uber complex shit they did.Nta but to play devil's advocate here, it kinda is differentAt least when the Spanish did shit like that it's for the purpose of using it on criminals and whatnot, Spanish Inquisition be dawnedThe Aztecs would give blood and baby sacrifices because they wanted more rain or some shitWhen you make even the Spaniards think you're monsters you really fucked up
So where to now? Bloodlines? WWII? Wonder how they'll fuck Brauner up. Since Dracula's fucking forever dead, guess there's no war in 1999. Maybe he'll "come back" when Soma is introduced, which will probably be handled terribly and he'll have gay sex with Alucard.
>>147158201Soma being reincarnated from a Dracula who is at peace feels like it sucks all the drama out of it. He'd essentially just be a christ figure.
>>147157800Not either of those anons, but mezo americans had more shock value bloodlust than the spainards. There's a difference between framing someone as a heretic and flaying them alive and grabbing some random citizens and flaying them alive on an alter while drinking their blood and eating their hearts.
>>147155364I'm still mad they killed off Maxim for literally no reason.
>>147158328I'm beyond pissed they wasted Death, one of the like three reoccurring characters of the series.
Someone post vampire Tera already
>>147158153except it isn't, they were just behind the timescale of Europe, who before getting all hoity toity about how they torture people brutally, did just as many wild Pagan shit rituals as well.Europe simple progressed faster, none of this justifies obliterating two entire nations, but then again, that was the style at the time.
>>147158344eh, sort of, a dark ghostly figure is seen in multiple scenes in this season and its clearly Death.
>>147158497>trying to reuse their lame ass version of Death that swears and talks like an edgy teenager It's impressive how they managed to make Death itself a joke. l'll give Shitflixvania one thing is that they know how take something cool and make it gay and lame.
>>147158201I thought Dracula was resurrected along with Lisa and they just fucked off into the sunset

>>147157543The ice elemntal thing, night creature in the show is a minor character, but she has some straps over her nipples
>>147158888Why wouldn't it just be some version of normal-ish demon? Wasn't Dracula confering with Satan in-universe? It only makes sense he takes interest with this. Granted I played mostly the old games with little to no plot

It's cooked.Castlevania is so easy to get right, why do they insist on doing shit the general audience doesn't like?
>>147159099
>>147159099>IgnNah, the game do matterhttps://nichegamer.com/reviews/castlevania-lords-of-shadow/
>>147159133Who cares about Lords of Noncanon?
>>147159099>show is so ass even their usual shills aren't slurping it up Damn...that's wild.
>>147158792They are fucking scared lolMaybe make a show that people like and isn't full of gay shit.
>>147159186Even that shitty Tomb Raider cartoon got roasted by IGN.
>>147159157eh it's the thread of a noncanon adaptation where a noncanon game (judgment) was already posted in response to a comment about a non-castlevania-canon character, so that's less of an indictment than it would seem
>>147158201sotn.annette gets killed (probably via tera) and richter falls into despair and gets corrupted by the black shadow, leading him down the murder-hobo path of being obsessed with power.so you can still hit the same beats of "what the fuck are you doing belmont" and then "oh he's just stupid" while they uncover stuff about The Hat Man, whos probably (now that soul shit has been introduced) draculas evil reincarnated.
>>147159157Who decided non-canon? Iga-san?
>>147159215Won’t trusting them.https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZsVd8PkcvRo
>>147159215For the record, there was literally no way to defend that shitshow. Only people that "liked" it were Twitterkeks because Lara was now gay and mid meanwhile everyone else just laughed at how bad it was. Then it was forgotten as soon as it showed up.
Who the fuck is still watching this shit?
>>147159260it's non-canon as in its own alternate timeline, so you know that goes
>>147159285>Mark Kern in thumbnailLiterally the guy who called Stellar Blade woke, then backpedals if he gets heat, and still won't finish the game people paid him for just so he whines about shit on social mediaShiggy the diggy
>>147159327Twitter fags and cartoon stans.Season 1 chased off the normies.
>>147159215>>147159301It was genuinely an amazing 2010s style cartoon, what the fuck are you on about?
What the fuck was that Mephistopheles shit? Dracula is LITERALLY Satan in this universe, is this Dracula’s lingering evilness in pure form?
>>147159394>Dracula is LITERALLY Satan in this universegame universe <> netflix
>>147159380>boring modern audience style cartoon Ftfy
>>147159380>Lara is now lesbian >She also is heckin wholesome returning artifacts to native tribes after raiding them tombs!!!
I'm so fucking glad they skipped over Simon.Talk about dodging a bullet.
>>147155364Would rather beat up the pajeet that made this shot crapcom employees
>>147159446I like Lara not being a porcelain doll build type of bitch. I also like that she isn't doing hrave robbing anymore, despite the franchise name. I know she is British, but you can outgrow that. Immigrate to a normal country, I don't know, US, Canada, try to assimilate and maybe one day you won't wake up hugging a sarcophagus you stole.
>>147159629I am shilling btw
>>147159367>Stellar Blade censored mode addHe not wrong tho
>>147159629If she's not a smug grave robbing bitch with massive tits then it's not Lara Croft.
>>147155845i really got into the spanish expedition after watching that DJ peach cobbler guy's mad gods of the yucatan vidgood shit
Anyone who actually played the games would tell you that the Castlevania cartoon is a fucking garbage adaptation. The Ellis seasons were already crap, and those ones are worse than crap.This shit is just like the Halo TV show, but since Halo has more fans they made enough noise to get it canned.
>>147157151Art department and animators can't help that. Them trying to keep to the style is literally the most they can do to show their love in this situation.
>>147159961Would watch.
>>147159961Ayo Drac, you n-
>>147155412I'm willing to bet this series had more gay sex scenes though. And whatever straight sex scenes they had were muted and basic in comparison.
Let's be honest this show is so bad that even with sex and tits didn't make any better in S3 (original show), they should have maked original vampire animation. The result would be much better and well received like Blue Eyed Samurai but edgier.
>>147156137>"Is that a slow moving dark fire ball that Alucard clearly telegraphed and launched towards me?">"I'LL STAND HERE AND GRAB IT! I WON'T MOVE TO THE SIDE, I'LL PUT MY HANDS ON IT!'Kingdom Hearts has better fight choreography, my god!
>>147160272Its about as much of an adaptation of the games as those live action Resident Evil movies are for Resident Evil.
Isn't it 3 weeks after launch when Netflix decides to kill something?They have killed shows for less that were even well received.
>>147160932A pretty face can't hide an other wise flat character.
>>147160962it's always a case by case basisstuff like one of the most famous cases of lightning cancellation like cowboy bebop happened because the show cost way too much to produce and the metrics were nowhere near enough to recoup the losses
>>147160657They can have their food long as I still have hetero saving western civilization.
>>147155364>Netflix forcing another mixed race coupleIts all so tiresome
>>147161442I don't agree; I wish the hedonism was spread around more. I'm pretty accepting to gay characters and gay sex scenes, especially if I like the characters, but I feel like hetoro sex scenes are pushed back in favor of the gay scenes.Really, I'm even fine with the idea of Alucard being bisexual, but all the clips I see of this series is the gay shit. What's the gay to straight ratio here, and I'm not talking about Richter's forced mixed race couple.Everything feels agenda based, is what I'm saying. I even like "annoying chick hates the protagonist and they end up together" thing. But it all seems so forced.
>>147156296>Yeah Maria, I'm going to the new world with Annette>We are going there to fight more battles>I'm definitely not going with her because I want to impregnate her>See you dear sister, I'll let you deal with your trauma of killing your father and seeing your mother becoming a monster by yourself while I'll fuck this goddess
>>147162053>inb4 they introduce Shaft as a voodoo priest in Haiti and Ricther gets brain washed into resurrecting Dracula.Ricther BITCHmont can't stop taking Ls.
>>147161986>Everything feels agenda basedBecause it is. These scripts were approved 2 to 3 years ago during the height of woke politics being trendy.Now these entertainment companies are dealing with the consequences of bad business decisions.
For me, it's the Rondo of Blood intro.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o076MlHKXL8
>>147162053I kind of wonder if anyone told him Maria tried to become a vampire. He is either an absolute failure as an older brother or nobody gives a fuck about the girl.
>>147157382where does Rondo take place>>147157495what was this billed as
>>147162212>I kind of wonder if anyone told him Maria tried to become a vampireNo, they didn't ever bother to tell him she killed her father or that her mother yearns for her and will sooner or later try to turn her.
>>147162253Why would the showrunners give a shit?Ricther doesn't seem too concerned in avenging the death of his mother by killing Orlox anymore.
These retards really wrote Dracula and Castlevania out of Castlevania.
>>147162204Why is this in German?
>>147162343A gay sex scene with them would have fixed this.
>>147162367No idea, maybe the Herzog Nosferatu was fresh in their heads?That's not the original version btw, that was the redone version for the Wii VC rerelease and Dracula X Chronicles. The original isn't as good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkEGFo6GhOo
>>147157985I just hate how they shit on christianity while recognizing their hell or divine powers when it suits them.Or even better, how multiple afterlives can coexist: the egyptian's, the christian's and the african's (don't know which one it is specifically). They also break continuity with their own story: in season 3 the greek philosopher ended up in hell for his sins, shouldn't he have gone to ancient greek's afterlife if he didn't believe in the Christian's God?
>>147159193are their data scrapers going to be able to tell I skipped 90% of scenes that didn't involve Richter, Alucard, Maria, or Juste?
>>147162253Honestly I wonder how much that is just mother wanting her daughter back and how much it's wanting to use her maliciously. As we know, vampires are able to love in their own twisted way, but they are inherently evil. Show's Dracula is the closest thing we have to a redeemed vampire and he still had to fuck off from society.
>>147162452one thing to remember is that Drac was never turned - he's not part of this animalistic HIV spreader grouphe's a human that ascended to his own category of vampire through alchemy
>>147162416I am at loss, because voodoo afterlife would make the most sense, but it can't exist as Poles never brought black madonna to Haiti in this universe (as Haiti should revlot later) and it was formational to Voodoo as a religion. So this is not-Voodoo at best, some amalgamation of african religions I'd assume
>>147162452>>147162488If you're bringing game canon into things, the Lament of Innocence manga had Walter becoming a vampire after the Devil played a trick on his pregnant mother.
>>147162488Eh, it's more of rabies really. Both by how it spreads (as bites are equally viable as blood) and by how the vampires act. It's just rabies without the killing part and less frenzy. Though the mechanism would be different since rabies does what it does via brain damage.
>>147162509We shouldn't do that, since Neflixvania is a totally separate canon, especially when discussing Nocturne.But overall Tera is an amazingly written character. She's disturbing and mysterious, this is the highlight of the show for me.
>>147162452>Honestly I wonder how much that is just mother wanting her daughter back and how much it's wanting to use her maliciously.Tera's plot is actually interesting, seeing a human we know slowly turning into a monster. I think initially she wants her daugher with her but as more time will pass her love will become warped. Killing her now is a mercy.After all she didn't want Maria to kill her father but after it was done she was happy she had done it.
>>147162425Yes. They can articulate the exact moment people lose interest in a show when people stop watching and which episode or moment it was.
>>147162610Did the DS compilation make people give Ecclesia another look? I hope so, I loved it at the time and was very sad that it was a commercial flop.
>>147162554Most of, if not all versions of Dracula across media became a vampire of their own means.Dracula is a highborn vampire and not a lesser breed.
>>147162634Dominus Collection sold extremely well.
>>147162656Happy to hear.
>>147162559I feel like the "smiling" scenes are caused by the sadism inherent to vampires , in turb causing her to find joy in suffering and death of others. She smiles when people die in the show.She's also very much on board with corrupting her daughter and honestly the two big whiplashes she gets (both when Juste calls her out) are brief moments of her old self taking control. Other than that shebjust kind of wants to make Maria desperate enough to want to get turned by her.It's also kind of sad Richter doesn't really interact with Tera after she gets transformed. He clearly cared for her a lot and she was his foster parent.
>>147162637I never felt like the source of vampirism made that much of a difference. Especially in Castlevania I just felt like it's kind of the "different ways to arrive at the same result" situation. Dracula is just old and insanely well-read. Olrox seems to be bending most of the rules of vampirism on the same basis
>>147162656God I adore Capcom for making these compilation releases. It started with Megaman Legacy Collection iirc and it's been consistently amazing ever since. Giving old franchises (and games) new life instead of keeping them sealed in a vault like other big companies. I still dream of the day I'll get to play as Lilith again. Darkstalkers and all.
Richter I didnt watch because i assumed they made Richter gay can someone confirm or deny?
>>147162703>Dracula is just old and insanely well-readYou're forgetting his unstoppable willpower.
>>147162737Very much not. Though he is a manchild. That kind of checks out with most Belmonts.
>>147162416Still doesn't make sense to me how Anette kill that vampire using the sign of the cross because she's not christian, even the sunlight thing doesn't seems to work in that show at all
>>147162769Shitflixvania has never been consistent in it's retarded rules on how holy relics and Christian religion works or not. The one thing it is consistent with is "muh Christianity is le bad and not real" even though it makes the show seem retarded since it's beem proven it does work against vampire and it's not just vampires being so stupid they job to geometry and multiple gods and afterlives of religions simply just...exist I guess.
>>147162737Belmont's will always be straight.
>>147155364>did you like gay sex we carefully animated, anon?
>>147162634I wanted to like OoE but it was the weakest DSvania in my opinion. Too many cut corners everywhere, and too much ill-advised mechanical stuff that was just different for the sake of being different. Out of all Castlevania protags, Shanoa is objectively the most fleshed out as a character, but I wish her game wasn't such a weird mess.
>>147159193Stupid fat fuck deserves it, him and his cuck brother harassed my friends in the past over not liking this shit Fuck you Sam maybe actually do your job instead of letting diversity hires bully you, fucking loser
>>147160690>The result would be much better and well received like Blue Eyed Samurai but edgier.No not reallyEven if you remove all the Castlevania elements (lol) you're still left with a painfully mediocre story that barely uses its concepts because whoever wrote it is a narcissistic weirdo that cared bout writing girlbosses and gay sex than an actual plot
>>147160932gotta love twitterfags pretending they like this shit since it's [new thing] and they can get likes from their fanart
>>147163009The latter-day IGA era games got a lot of shit online for supposedly being unimaginative and watered down SotN. This coupled with them selling worse and worse sparked a bit of a directional change for OoE, hence why you've got stuff like the bulk of the game being level-based, glyphs etc. Sadly it was too little too late and the game underperformed anyway. That combined with Judgement tanking pretty much killed any meaningful future Igarashi had with Konami.I actually got a little bit annoyed when Bloodstained got revealed on Kickstarter and all the online spaces were going on about how much they missed IGA-era Castlevania and how it was sad he disappeared and whatever. Fuck off, no you weren't you bunch of snakes, I was on those forums at the time and I remember you dogging on him and saying how he was a hack that was out of ideas and how Lords of Shadows was the future the series needed and all that shit. Yet another victim of Japanese games being unfashionable in the PS360 era I suppose.
>>147162241Romania/Transylvania obviouslyThe first globetrotting was in Bloodlines for Genesis but the games are almost always set in classic Dracula country except for the Sorrow games in JapanIt has the Rondo characters so it's natural to expect Rondo
>>147159961I believe there's an Afro edit
>>147163009I disagree, Ecclesia actually forces the player to use skill in a lot of areas instead of just powering up to a certain point where enemies are just fodder
>>147155364So reading the thread, Nocturne looks as disappointing as the Ellis stuff? And I'm hearing it also got a commie atheist or something in charge of it as well? They really can't help themselves, huh.
>>147163599I appreciate you, screencap guy. I wish 4chan could have a sort of "themed thread" idea and we could change the background to fit the topics we discuss. Shame most would be used for goon material, though.
>>147163597>So reading the thread, Nocturne looks as disappointing as the Ellis stuff?it's somehow worse
>>147163597I thought it was okay. A lot of people here are just as fake biased as overpraising twitterfags and must overhate to comical degrees.
>>147163597An atheist was in charge of the first series, so nothing has changed there. If anything, season 2 is more accepting of religion than season 1. Confirms that basically lots of religions are "real", crosses are powerful against vampires which all but implies Christianity is real, and the crusader character remains a faithful Christian the entire story while being a pretty sympathetic character, even if the priest he works for wasn't.It's not exactly pro-religion, but I wouldn't call it anti-religion either. Just a bunch of characters with different view points.
>>147163696Series, not season. Though I assume context makes that clear.
>>147161503As a bleached fan, I'm ok with this. Would've liked an asian girl instead but I'll take this.
>>147163696>swordWhere the fuck is the Vampire Killer whip?
>>147163715Would have been better if Annette wasn't written like a fucking cunt.Does her attitude get better in season 2?
>>147163764He uses it throughout alongside magic and fists/kicks and temporarily used Alucard's sword for one final finishing blow.
>>147163764He dropped it during the fight. He spends a large part of the final battle relying on magic. Then he finishes the villain off with Alucard's sword.It was a cool fight overall, but it was a gripe I had. I like the idea of him working magic into his style, but I still wanted more whip action.
>>147163775Yeah, she drops a lot of the hostility/frustration and ends up relating more to Richter because of how they both lost their mothers due to their sacrifices.
>>147163775Yeah, she's pretty chill and has Richter's back all S2.
>Maria crushing on Alucard at the endlolI wonder, assuming it gets another season, if we'll get a time skip to Maria as an adult and Richter with long hair.
>>147163795It's like they forgot this is the weapon that can literally make Dracula fall to his knees.Bullshit.
>>147163813Please fire the writers of Nocturne and hire better ones.
>>147163696this and the vampire dyke wearing the Not-Guts armor were so desperate and pathetic to meit's like the showrunners were going "SEE WE REFERENCED THING YOU KNOW PLEASE LIKE US AGAIN PLEEEEASE"
>>147162425I hope. I skipped almost the entire show.
>>147163842The writers can barely remember how vampires work in their story. Remember when they made that stupid ass reasoning that vampires are weak to crosses because they're retards that can't comprehend shapes? Now apparently that's wrong and crosses are holy and can hurt them.
>>147162241they called it "richter's origin story"
>>147163855I mean that's basically a shout out to SotN where it's implied Alucard and Maria might get together.
>>147157531>at least with North American Colonization the Natives were violent warring assholes who caused problems till the bitter end so you can at least have some tit for tat, but the fucking Conquistadors were Giga-evil fucks.Are we acting like the Aztecs weren't horrible now? They probably caused far more suffering than any US-based tribe ever could, considering the population difference.
>>147163813She clearly wanted to be a vampire in that one scene with her mom so i could see it making sense
I hope they won't animate SotN, they've ruined series more than enough already
>>147163996It was always flimsy. Holy water is holy, though it's been written off as "He only has to believe in it, no need for actual divine intervention" but then again, only Catholic priests can create it. I guess they could explain it as "Uhh, this cross has been blessed, unlike the one Trevor used and it wasn't even an actual cross.
>>147164180Aztecs were plain old fucked up and a death cult. Not to mention their religious history is just saying "God told us to kill everyone we have met so far and then these evil fuckers chased us away so we killed them">>147164193Yeah, because becoming a vampire and dating Alucard of all people is perfectly sensible.
>>147164213This show constantly flipflops between "Christianity is fake and God isn't real" to "Christian is totally real and so is God" like it's having an identity crisis. If they just stuck with holy stuff is real and works throughout the series then the show would look less retarded.
>>147155364So this is the end of these shitty adaptations right?
>>147164236>Yeah, because becoming a vampire and dating Alucard of all people is perfectly sensible.Were talking about a woman here dont forget that
>>147164256I am a woman anon. Who do you think is watching a show with a pretty boy vampire? Besides fans of thirty year old games (I have no idea how old they are, bear with me)
>>147164282>I am a woman anon. A "woman" indeed.
>>147164253Thank fucking God if so
>>147163133*Hungary
>>147161035That's not why Bebop was "cancelled".
>>147164507it wasn't?
>>147155364Lords of Shadow felt more Castlevania than Netflix dumpster train wreck.
>>147164194Not following Tera gene?>>147158874
>>147164725Oops forget video
>>147164763>vampires>not immediately exploding in daytime Wow, it's so shit.
I really wish an live action movie with the 100% focus on Dracula's castle but I don't know how this deal with Netflix work, stop with this animation filler
>>147164832Paul W. S. Anderson and his wife are available.
>>147155532Could build a village on that forehead, goddamn.
>>147164860They could make movie following Lament, since It's an gap of 400 years between LoC and Trevor adventures.
>>147159629>like Lara not being a porcelain doll build type of bitch.You need better bait anon.
>>147163696The series will always be anti Christianity to me thanks to the first few seasons. I can't see anything besides utter contempt in this bastardization of Castlevania. Not even a nuanced take like "those at the top are rotten", just "If you're a Christian, you deserve to be killed be the sympathetic and actually the good guy Dracula who doesn't deserve to pay for mass murder because you deserve it".
>>147157631Dude, everyone hated the Aztecs, there's a fucking reason we remember the negotiations that happened with Cortez and the plans to take down the AztecsCry all you want but Aztecs sowed the seeds of their own destruction
>>147162677They had to make sure you knew he loved Annette and that she was the most important person to him now. It's really sad that so many scenes felt like beating you over the head with their relationship. It wasn't stellar or anything in the first series but Trevor never felt like he had to be forced away into his romance plot like Richter.
>>147164879Male pattern baldness is a hell of a thing especially when you've been dead for a few centuries
>>147164925Milla Jovovich would make a good Leon. But who would play the doomed Sara?
>>147155364Okay, does Alucard do cool Alucard shit?
DO IT
>>147165142A lot more than in previous seasons.
>>147165126She's gonna be black, so probably the chick who played the witch in Wicked.
>>147165160But he was barely in the season 1 until the end from what I heard(which is why I skipped it).
>>147164860Is Stephen Sommers still working?>>147165126oh god no.
>>147165158>nice revoltion bitch you should kill your fatherIt is this easy btw (you have to be tall and glowing)
For me the Belmont's and their partners make the dynamics. I loved Trevor and Sypha before. Adrian will always be cool too.
>>147157588>>147157631>>147165061>Didn't you read the last thread where that history autist basically detailed how people just hated being ruled by the Aztecs so much that their own people turned on them?>veryone hated the AztecsAnon, that is not what I said, my main point was REFUTING that misconception, reread my posts:>>147153842>>147154013>>147154078>>147154110>>147154806>>147154846The main reason Cortes got allies against the Mexica of the Aztec capital (Tenochtitlan) was because Mexica rule was indirect/loose/hands off, which encouraged and enabled opportunistic side switching, secession, backstabbing, etc as a way to gain or hold onto political power when they felt it was to their benefit, since the hands-off political system left subject and vassal states with their own ambitions/interests and the ability to make their own choices.Even by the standards of Mesoamerican kingdoms and empires in general who tended to be hands off and not found colonies or displace people or directly govern the places they conquered much, the Mexica arguably did those things or replace existing kings even less then say the bigger Classic Maya dynasties or Monte Alban or especially then the Purepecha Empire did That's not to say that the Mexica were benevolent or loved (though many of the states which did side with Cortes actually DID benefit from Mexica taxes and political marriages with Mexica royalty, which is why most of the ones which did only switched sides when Tenochtitlan was already fucked by smallpox and they had more to gain and less to lose by taking it out), they were still expansionistic conquerors (more then those other examples I gave) who came to power relatively quickly, and nobody likes the biggest kid on the block being a bully or having to pay taxes to them, but they probably weren't hated more then most big military powers or tax collecting regimes were across history. 1/?
>>147165224>>147157588>>147157631>>147165061cont:>>147157679>thinking their gods would give them blessings if they offered livesThis is generally not how it worked. Some sacrifices were specifically tied to getting things, like sacrifices to Tlaloc were thought to bring more rain (which is one of the very few sacrifice ceremonies which was intentionally tortuous, since the amount of crying was linked to the amount of rainfall), but for the most part it's more that sacrifices were necessary for the proper function of cosmic/natural cycles and proper order in general, though it depends on how exactly you interpret Aztec theology.>>147158153>>147158300I think it's stupid to act as if any 500+ year old militaristic religious-murdering society was "less bad" but I've never understood the "sacrifice is worse then inquisition/holy wars" argument, in that at least Mesoamerican religion saw sacrifice as a cosmic necessity (but like everywhere, Mesoamerican religion was twisted and and exploited by those in power, so YMMV on how 'real" the belief was) whereas there's nothing in the bible that requires going after pagans or heathens for the sake of the world or whatever. > and grabbing some random citizenThis also wasn't really how it worked. Sacrifices were predominately captured soldiers taken in wars (for Classic Maya states it was usually specifically captured nobles or royalty) or slaves (which technically captured soldiers also were/fell into the category of), either taken as part of conquest or given by a surrendering city, or purchased via the slave trade, though (at least in Mexica society, though there is also some disagreement on if the protections applied to all slaves) slaves had a great deal of rights, to the point where people sold themselves into slavery temporarily as an easy way to make money sometimes, so slaves could (apparently, again there's some disagreement here) only be sacrificed after repeatedly disobeying and losing rights. 2/?
>>147165201>Is Stephen Sommers still working?His last two movies completely burnt him out, but he did say he wanted another chance with the Mummy franchise back in September.
I hope Samuel Deats trips and falls into shit and spiders crawl out of his dick.
>>147165284I rather him over whatever the fuck universe tried with Tom cruise. I think Sommers could do an okay castlevania movie(I liked his van helsing movie).
>>147165312Why exactly?
>>147165266>>147158153>>147158300Cont:Next, some sacrifices were volunteers, though how "voluntary" this might have been is iffy: We know some people really did want to be sacrificed out of a sense of duty or honor or wanting the best afterlife, but i'd guess there were also situations where somebody said "alright we gotta sacrifice somebody, everybody in X neighborhood decide who it is" and somebody had to step up even if they wouldn't otherwise want to. "Volunteers" would also include children or disabled people etc who had the choice made for them (children/people with specific disabilities were associated with rain gods, to tie it back into what I pointed out above). Note also that disabled people, particularly hunchbacks or dwarves, were sometimes purchased by the state not just for sacrifice to act as seers and advisors (this was a Maya thing too, see pic, tho IDK about the specifics for Maya dwarf advisors like i'm explaining for the Aztec) for the same reason and lived in a section of the royal zoo, which sounds bad but it seems to have been as much an extended series of residences for palace officials (royal concubines also lived there) as it was a objectified collection, though it was obviously kinda bothSomebody just randomly getting dragged out of their home and sacrificed I don't think was a thing, especially as I alluded to last thread, sacrifices weren't usually demanded in a quota or as tribute, it was something everybody did according to their own local customs and practices. Maybe there were some states who had their officials go to their adjacent subject towns/villages and asked for some people for sacrifices if they didn't have war captives or slaves at the time, but I don't know if we have records of that and that would still probably probably be planned/sorted out in advance, and it absolutely wasn't just anarchic violence, since sacrifice ceremonies themselves were formal religious ceremonies with steps and timing3/?
>>147165333Why not? Fuck him and powerhouse for ruining Castlevania.
>>147165388Fuck it. May your dreams Come true
>>147165224>>147165266>>147165344Mesoamerica autismbro! You're back!
>>147165344>>147158153>>147158300cont:As an example, if you look in pic related, you can see how the holiday/festival of Toxcatl worked in Tenochtitlan, and the primary deity impersonator to Tezcatlipoca had to pass like 2 entire fucking pages worth of specific physical and mental requirements to be selected, then had to live as the god for months going around dancing and singing and receiving and giving blessings to passerbys, before finally going to specific shrines in a pilgrimage and ritually marrying other deity impersonators and fasting for a week before actually getting sacrificedIf you weren't a deity impersonator then you didn't have as much formal shit to do, but the point is that there were still rules, processes, etc involved and by extension, planning as well as some level of cooperation from the victims (captured soldiers lived with the family of their captor for weeks or months before being sacrificed and were allegedly mourned after their death, excavations from skull racks backs up that most victims were well treated, fed, etc before dying): The ceremony being interrupted due to victims trying to escape or acting out of line would have been a bad omen and might see the whole thing called off, though we do know that impersonators were followed by soldiers both as a guard, and to watch them to keep them from escapingThe closest thing to victims being "randomly" dragged away and sacrificed with minimal formality would have been in the chaotic open combat and riots following the Toxcatl massacre (where Conquistadors while staying in Tenochtitlan as guests locked everybody in inside the Great Precinct during that festival and killed everybody present, depending on who you ask just because they wanted to seize the city, or because they were worried they'd be picked as sacrifices, depending on what source you read ) since shit was going crazy and the Conquistadors wouldn't have known/cared how to act as captives4/?
>>147165430Thanks!
>>147165453Okay as someone who isn't big into castlevania how exactly did the Deats guy fuck it up, if you don't mind answering?
Well that was just as mid as I expected. It has almost all the same problems as the first series >filler nobody cares about >ignoring the main characters people care about to focus on boring OC>subpar villains with far too much screen time for how lame they are>character that the writers clearly hate and completely waste any interesting plot points they might have hadThe priest reminded me of hector, a bunch of screen time focusing on him being bullied by vampires, hints at potentially evolving as a character, and then being completely pointless with no development or interesting plot points. Also Richter better be careful in Haiti, things weren’t too great for white allies there
>>147165388bro there hasn't been a legit castlevania game since 2008 there's nothing to fucking ruin
>>147165480Not that anon but turning Ricther Belmont into a massive pussy in season 1 was a very bad move.Dude's one of the strongest Belmonts in the bloodline, defeated Dracula 1v1 at the age of 18.
>>147165480He's the director of the entire show how didn't he fuck it up? Did you ever play any of the Castlevania games? This show did everything it could to piss off the actual fans.
>>147165537I'm gonna stop you there.
>>147165556>This show did everything it could to piss off the actual fansWhen did Sypha fuck Drac and have twins she hid for Trevor for over half a decade in a far off country, I missed that arc
>>147165553>Not that anon but turning Ricther Belmont into a massive pussyOh yeah, that's another reason I skipped season 1(Netflix Ricther just gave off little bitch energy from the trailers). Does season 2 fuck over alucard in any way?>>147165556It's been years and all I remember is that the show race changed a character to bring in voodoo bull shit.
>>147165449>>147158153>>147158300cont:By contrast, at Tecoaque, where a convo of Spanish conquistadors and auxiliaries were captured, they were sacrificed over the course of a few months. I don't know if we have evidence of how well they were fed or treated like we do about the victims from the skull rack excavations, though. Even if they did get treated as typical victims, I imagine it still probably sucked for them considering the Spaniards wouldn't know what was happening other then that they were probably getting killed at some point.>>147164180>>147164236whoops, forgot to quote these in the prior posts, see all the stuff I said in the past 4 replies I did>Not to mention their religious history is just saying "God told us to kill everyone we have met so far and then these evil fuckers chased us away so we killed them"Not really? This is just one specific version of one specific legend about how Tenochtitlan was founded, and it's mischaracterizing the specifics of even that version (in other versions the Colhua princess isn't sacrificed at all and lives in Tenochtitlan till she's like 80 or some shit). I have a lot of other shit to do so I'm just gonna link this explanation somebody else did: https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryMemes/comments/1ejmsu4/one_of_the_top_ten_biggest_blunders_in_history/lggrtq5/5/5 unless people have more questions and I have time to answer them-------------Also I forgot to ask this, does Mesoamerican stuff even play a bigger role in this season? AFAIK last season Olrex or whatever his name is is Aztec but that doesn't play into things much. Is there flashbacks or do we get to see cool Mesoamerican inspired architecture in his room or anything?I don't watch the show at all and I only popped into this and the last thread because I knew they made the character Mesoamerican and figured there'd be stuff for me to respond to
>>147165480>>147165553>>147165642also Sam self-inserted as Richter. Before Season 1 came out he said he put a bit of himself into the character and you can see exactly what.He also tries to draw HIS version of Richter at every opportunity. Just comes across like a big loser that really wants Castlevania to be his own instead of respecting what's there
>>147165678>I don't watch the show at all and I only popped into this and the last thread because I knew they made the character Mesoamerican and figured there'd be stuff for me to respond toso this is the power of autism...
>>147165787This is your chance to shill it to me
>>147155773>a cross between Luffy and RoshiWhat? Not watching the show elaborate pls
>>147165678>Also I forgot to ask this, does Mesoamerican stuff even play a bigger role in this season? AFAIK last season Olrex or whatever his name is is Aztec but that doesn't play into things much. Is there flashbacks or do we get to see cool Mesoamerican inspired architecture in his room or anything?No not at all. He's got some Aztec snake form or whatever and he talks bout those darn evil Spaniards but he doesn't do a damn thingThey just made Nosferatu brown to appeal to twitterfags
Welp. Good to see that season 2 was the expected failure.
>>147155491Yeah I'm not doing all that, I'll just watch the fights and the DID scene on youtube
>>147165762Could have worked out if they hired an actual writer who knows how to write action adventure shows.Clive Bradley has had no prior experience in animation, they hired a literal nobody.
>>147155845Spanish conquistadores are assholes but weren't they evil vampires?
>>147165915The fact Netflix dumped it in January tells me they had no faith in it.
>>147159193How's the S2 ending? Is there closure or does it end on a cliffhanger?
>>147165952the villains from s1 are dealt with, but there will probably be a timeskip, + soft cliff hanger because they added a new mysterious villain that hasn't revealed himself fully
>>147165943funny how FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY can apply to games and shows too
>>147165952They teasing phantom Dracula or some shit idk.It's cooked.
>>147165982>>147165988I've been seeing people get sick of the constant "OH BETTER WATCH THE NEXT SEASON TO SEE HOW THE STORY ENDS ;)" bullshitit's crazy to me that they kept relying on artificially lengthening the story and expected people to just slurp the slop for years and years. A lot of people checked out after Season 2 because Dracula died, what the fuck made them think they could drag it out forever?They really dropped the ball not having this be an anthology following different Belmonts ala JoJo
>>147165943Sam Deats is a salty little bitch who cannibalized this by allowing twilight/anne rice vamp fags get in the writing room on this. All that money after the success of the first cartlvania and went on to produce this miscarriage that should have been aborted after its first season.
>>147166031>our budgets tend to be better than animeand yet Baki and Seven Deadly Sins, both funded by Netflix, completely mogged your show in terms of viewership and apparently they had shit animation tooI don't know why you'd even say this when they can't even produce full 12 episode seasons despite having bigger budgets
>>147166019>They really dropped the ball not having this be an anthology following different Belmonts ala JoJoI would like them to tease the next Belmont at the end of each series desu.Imagine a black screen after Richter smiles, with the text "200 years" laterthen you hear some dribblingsqueaky running shoesswish, buzzer, crowd goes wildsomeone yells "Julius, you've got a heart of FIYAH my dude"black screen switches to the sceen, a nappy-headed Julius sweating, heaving, and smiling"awww shiiiiet nigga ain't no thang"Genya Arikado watches from the bleachers<----- TO BE CONTINUED -----
>>147165895disappointingI will continue to look forward to Aztec Batman and shilling Onyx Equinox and Codex Black thenI am open to being convinced to watch the castlevania shows even without it having any mesoamerican stuff though
>>147166019>They really dropped the ball not having this be an anthology following different Belmonts ala JoJoImagine if Netflix and Konami signed a deal with the anime studio that made Jojo to produce a different Castlevania series.
>>147166092Netflixvania isn't worth watching in generalAside from the animation looking okay sometimes, it's mostly just people talking and cursing a lot. Has way too many characters and doesn't know what kind of story it wants to tell but tries to distract you with pretty pictures. There are so many other shows that are infinitely better and more worth your time, better yet just play the Castlevania games instead
>>147166073I ain't Sam anon. Say it to his bitch ass on on blue sky. I had hopes post-arcane for something to watch and this was just abjectivily horrible. Just a bunch of niggers writen by white bitches.
>>147166031>Arcane costs Netflix way more money than Shitflixvania>they'd rather greenlight more League of Legends shows than give Powerhouse another season regardless of the costReally makes you think...
>>147166092I am not a fan of Nocturne, but the 2017 show is ok.Better main characters by a long shot.
>>147166132>I ain't Sam anon. Say it to his bitch ass on on blue sky.my apologies anon, I was just being snarky for the sake of it. I'm waiting to dunk on Sam once we know for certain that the show is kill
>>147166151good villain, good main trio, isaac objectively upgraded over his game counterpart, etcif it wasn't for some of the weird feminist shit and the atheism angle it would have been pretty good
>>147166141It's not about the cost, it's the return on investment.
>>147166141>they'd rather greenlight more League of Legends shows There something out there confirming that? Because i don't mind them capitlizing on it.
>>147166169>isaac objectively upgraded over his game counterparthonestly, I don't think sohe still acts like a psycho that wants to murder everyone but then the writers do everything they can to justify his behavior and give him a good end instead of a proper redemption or consequenceI dunno, at least Isaac's obsession with hating Hector in CoD was interesting especially with it being fueled by an inferiority complex and feeling like Hector invalidated his existence. And he gets his ass beat by Death.In the show, he just came off like a giant hypocrite and a coward but the story doesn't actually challenge him and then he just gets away with everythingThey also gave him Hector's character arc from CoD and the whole show got fucked in favor of focusing on him so he's just a shit character all around
>>147166169Isaac's character pissed me off desu. It was like a giant warning sign that was predicting that they were going to lionized brown people by how badly they changed his character and just had him fuck off the main story line to build up this symbiotic utopia out of night creatures that had 0 purpose to the story line. Fuck that nigger. I was hoping they would have killed his character off.
>>147166185That art is so full of sovl...Shitflixvania could never.
>>147157299>>147160657This.Gay sex is fine to linger on for extended periods of time. The only women who are allowed to be attractive are those who are clearly lesbians or at the very least bisexual. Even then, aside from Drolta and maybe Camila, I can't think of a single female character who was allowed to be portrayed in an outright sexy way and appeal to straight males.
>>147166236Jeto is based, she's a pillar of the Castlevania communityshe also hates the show and the showrunners got really butthurt over it
>>147155597>>147155561>>147155532I'm sad that I was unable to catch it in theatres with my twin. I enjoyed the shit out of The Northman and The Lighthouse and I just knew this film was going to be a banger. I guess we'll rent it as soon as we can and watch it at home. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll decide to give it another theatre run in the near future.
>>147166222It really did seem like they were setting him up to be a villain and the one who brings back Dracula. I really thought they'd have Hector kill all those vampire bitches tooAnd then they just did whatever the fuck that was
>>147166264>hates the show >makes shitflixvania writers seethe Based. I kneel
>>147166031We really need to add him and his stupid cuck brother into the same pile Ellis is in, just a bunch of losers that ruined everythingIt's crazy that no one gives them shit for also contributing to how awful the show is
>>147166277Yeah. Carmilla's death was a fucking waste. She is sapposed to be reoccuring character. If anything he should have either teamed up with her, or brought Drac back to whoop her ass. That would have been far more interesting.
>>147155394tbf have you seen Alucard?
>>147166300for real, when they set her up as a total bitch that wanted to betray Dracula I thought that not only would Drac come back he'd make her a loyal slave for eternity as some sort of ironic punishment for trying to kill himI remember speculating with friends over what they'd do next even if Season 2 was mostly shit and then Season 3 just destroyed any investment we had in it
>>147166031>seething at Arcane for being actually well liked Lmao what a petty bitch
Why was Richter second fiddle in his own show?
>>147166375We know why
Holy shit this show was non stop we wuz kangz shit. They really want you to think Egyptians were black
I'm honestly okay with Richter getting BLACKED. I'm honestly okay with Julius being an octaroon. Heck, there are tons of great octaroons in fiction like Balthios. But, I think Annette and Richter's relationship was rushed. I think they expected the fact that she's Annette do most of the leg work than actually show their relationship developing much onscreen. This part of the overall pacing problem and screen-time mismanagement desu.
Couldn't give us hydro storm fucking Jews
>>147166417It's a cartoon you freak, do you believe all Egyptians played japanese cards games?
>Belmonts from this point on will be half breed blacksI am 100% ok with this godawful show ending now.
>>147166440I am sick of this cultural appropriation you weirdo.
>Julius has red hair in the games>now he will be blackWhy do they hate gingers so much? Why? What did they do to them?
>>147166092>shilling Onyx Equinox and Codex Black thenOkay, you convinced me mesobro. I just wanted to tell you you that, cheers
>>147166467Gingers are only allowed to exist as villains or else they get BLACKED

>>147165047>The series will always be anti Christianity to me thanks to the first few seasons.Anti-Christianity doesn't fully describe it. It is more like pro-antichrist.>I can't see anything besides utter contempt in this bastardization of Castlevania. Not even a nuanced take like "those at the top are rotten", just "If you're a Christian, you deserve to be killed be the sympathetic and actually the good guy Dracula who doesn't deserve to pay for mass murder because you deserve it".The first season has a distinctly pro-elitist slant viewing vampires as rightful rulers of the world. Dracula is the embodiment of how vampires should be in that setting. That is until vampires actually become a part of human affairs and side with old institutions. It still baffles me how the French Revolution is still considered a good thing until now.https://youtu.be/a0LhJY3XRwg?t=27>>147156261>Death who isn't a servant of Dracula in this canon is the ultimate badguy is supposed to unite humans and vampires. Trevor calls Death "just a thing" and says that they are both "killers" that world doesn't need. This thematically ties the story together with its evil Materialist message where being an immortal parasite feeding off the young is actually good. Until it is time to make the vampires the badguys again because they decide to side with long lasting cultural institutions instead of burning it all to the ground for an inhuman secular cult which devolved into murderous purity spiral.Look at how soulless this stupid speech is "a thing" "build things" then you Isaac using his evil necromancy to "build things". Fuck you and your Materialistic bullshit. I'm tired of "good evil thing".
I understand canonically Sypha was part of the Belmont bloodline but they went full retard giving Juste and Richter magical powers where most of their offense came from magic
>actual posts from Konami and Netflix promoting the show are barely getting attention>clips of episodes from random people have an overwhelmingly huge amount of likes but barely any real engagement>RT score went upjesus christ they're going full damage control shill mode just like the first season lmao
>>147166324Exactly. I actually had some hope with the dykes possibly fucking off to Florence where Morana worked in the anals as under underground advicer and accountent while Striga helped man the defences that kept the crusades and expansion of the ottomans from taking over the power house nation. While they worked with in the nation they deviced away to revive Carmella as loyal sisters. But silly me for expecting consistency or for blue hair morons to retain any form of historical literacy when they can't handle simple game lore.
>>147166601Then who is white?
>>147166654it's annoying because I keep muting posts and telling twitter not to show me anything of the show and they keep doing itfuckers are desperate
>>147166581That still makes Hector out to be the badguy despite Isaac being worse unless you want a demon army vs demon army story.>>147166614I also like to add that even ignoring the historical revisionism Dracula is objectively more evil than the Church depicted in the show.>>147166622Again, Richter's worth (in the show) is heavily tied to ability to use magic. Trevor was only given a bone for that cringey Death fight.>>147166654>Absolutely no cross promotion with the Castlevania collections released on Steam>DLC content for other games did a better job pushing the IP and distance themselves from the cartoonAnyone thinking that the show had a positive impact on the series is full of shit.>>147166324Carmilla was a bitch but she was objectively the lesser evil.>>147166375Why was Trevor a second fiddle in his own show?>>147166702>Striga helped man the defences that kept the crusades and expansion of the ottomans from taking over the power house nation.>thinking that they would depict the ottomans as the badguys
>>147166654Season 1 was so dogshit that anyone who didn't want to waste their time aren't coming back. Funny part is Season 1 of Nocturd did so poorly that it got bodied by Sonic Prime.
>>147166771>>DLC content for other games did a better job pushing the IP and distance themselves from the cartoonthat really tells me even Konami doesn't give a shit about the show outside of obligatory posts on twitterthey for sure would've wanted some sort of synergy if they cared but no, I bet the show has caused some kind of brand confusionI wonder if there's any data that shows if fans of the show have even played the games or bought them
>>147166813I wonder if season 1 of Nocturne was actually worse than first series minus the first 4 episodes. Or (what I personally think) it lacks all of the cool looking Castlevania stuff (that they bastardize) and relied on OCs. It is basically what I expect if they never used the Castlevania IP and it was just "Warren Ellis' Atheist Vampire Hunters".
>>147166813I feel like a schizo for saying this but going through the comments on posts for the show, it's so obvious when someone is a shill and when someone legitimately doesn't like itall the shills use the same sort of language and all sound very vague on why they like it, most of them are """"verified"""" too what a shockermeanwhile all the posts saying why it's shit are actually saying why they don't like it
>>147155654
>>147166825>I wonder if there's any data that shows if fans of the show have even played the games or bought thempic related>that really tells me even Konami doesn't give a shit about the show outside of obligatory posts on twitter>they for sure would've wanted some sort of synergy if they cared but no, I bet the show has caused some kind of brand confusionToo many people were asking for Konami to "capitalize on" the popularity of the show to revive the series. Fuck them. The remakes are doing a far better job getting people excited for a revival. Despite the failures of LoS, I think that an alternate timeline is the best course of action for the series. Something like a Zelda timeline thing to tie the story to the Time travelers and the decanonized games (not Sonia). That being said, I have already moved on to Bloodstained Curse of the Moon.
>>147166264What's the Jeto lore? Where can I read about it?
>>147166942Wasn't there some news or something going around that it's confirmed Netflix pays randos on social media to shill their shit when it isn't catching enough traction? Or was that Disney? Because at least with people who don't like the show you know they aren't getting paid to pretend.
>>147166961>>147166965Why did they make the Nosferatu reference into a major character then make him not a Nosferatu reference? I understand if these fuckers didn't play the games but this makes it seem like they don't consume media at all.
>>147166771>thinking that they would depict the ottomans as the badguysThey would have just depicted them as women abusing white males, much like they made the templar a gay spic. But like I said. Wishful thinking.
>>147166996>Why did they make the Nosferatu reference into a major character then make him not a Nosferatu reference? Hard to get fujos and fags to slobber over picrel.
So did this get renewed
>>147166971there's not much in the way of lore unless you're in her circle, she's a pretty reclusive personShe's just made a lot of cool fanart and funny shitposts of the series and is a giant Simon Belmont fan and no one else really shows a love for the series the way she does so it kinda "elevated" her spot in the communityOnly lore concerning the show I know is that the showrunners tried to suck up to her a ton but when she started to dislike the show they immediately turned on her and she went into a big depression over the series and didn't want anything to do with it for a timeBut it seems Jeto has gotten out of it and is still making art of the series which is nice
>>147166169>>147166206>>147166222I don't think that Isaac is the worst character in the show but I am convinced that nobody hates him more than me. It isn't be cause I like CoD; I didn't play the game. I just hate what he represents.>>147155560>I know its canon, but I like Richter being the muscle while Maria is the magic>>147163795>He dropped it during the fight. He spends a large part of the final battle relying on magic. Then he finishes the villain off with Alucard's sword.>>147166622>I understand canonically Sypha was part of the Belmont bloodline but they went full retard giving Juste and Richter magical powers where most of their offense came from magicI don't have the clip but Annette singled Richter out for being the only one of the three that can't use magic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL8Qc1z4U2c>Netflix Castlevania: "Your self-worth is tied to your supernatural abilities.">Game Castlevania: "Guy who is good at jumping, climbing, and throwing knives fights Dracula because it is the right thing to do."The show has always had an elitist lens to it for some reason until it is time to shit on Monarchy and the Church... lets be honest Whites.>vampires became badguys when side with white and christianshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVnuPRTrw8U
>>147166982>Wasn't there some news or something going around that it's confirmed Netflix pays randos on social media to shill their shit when it isn't catching enough traction? Or was that Disney?>Because at least with people who don't like the show you know they aren't getting paid to pretend.There is a joke that I would like to make about Amazon giving their employees new jobs when the Fallout show came out.
>>147167088>imagine harassing a random artist that makes silly fanart for fun so can leech off her popularity then turn on her when she says the show is ass Are the people working on Shitfixvania actual adults? Because this is childish behavior for professionals.
>>147167093>I am convinced that nobody hates him more than me. It isn't be cause I like CoD; I didn't play the game. I just hate what he represents.Brother you are not alone.
>>147167093You know, these shows treat white people so bad, I wonder why white people aren't making media of their own to counter it? I'm working on a few basic indie projects already, and if I saw my race consistently belittled back to back by media, I would at least try to put something out. I don't care if it only got 100 views; I'd take heart in the fact that I'm doing something.
>>147167167>I wonder why white people aren't making media of their own to counter it?Because we're basically blacklisted if we're conservative unless it's shit like New Norm and the whites that are allowed to make content are all mindfucked and demoralized.
>>147167167Alot of guys are. They just don't advertise that their white. They advertise the product. Then get torn down for being white because they succeeded in making a likeable product.
>>147166503The Northman is a fun viking action movie but the weakest thing he's done imoThe Lighthouse is a batshit arthouse horror movie. See what you think, some people like it first go (I did), some people warm up to it after a rewatch or two and some people just think it's horrible. The Witch is really good, best horror movie of the past decade imo
>>147167188As I said, I'd go over the "media's" head. You have indie shows reaching some level of status online, like that weird show with the clown girl that everyone wants to fuck.I know the common retort is "that was a one in a million thing, my show would never get that popular, there's no hope we have to allow white people to be shown as either as bad as literal demons or actually worse", but that's bitch made.Fact is, art should be created for the sake of it. To stay your hand because you're afraid that you won't be seen is cowardly, and I'd say its evidence that your work shouldn't be seen. You're supposed to try, aren't you?
>>147166485Here's a rar with all the Onyx Equinox episodes:https://easyupload.io/m/05p0p9I'd encourage you to watch it officially, but CR doesn't allow i to be seen for free anymore and officially cancelled S2, so I don't feel too bad linking the rar. Just shill it to other people in turn if the opportunity arises.I am gonna encourage you to officially buy Codex Black, though, since it's still releasing. Google books has a 72 page preview you can read. If you do decide to buy it, Barnes and Noble has the highest resolution pages for it, I bought it on all ebook platforms to test it. There's also a giant list of other Mesoamerican media a friend of mine put together here: https://x.com/Majora__Z/status/1779068465631904240
>>147167188>Because we're basically blacklisted if we're conservativelmao no one cares as long as you're not an obnoxious faggot about itanon doth protest too much
>>147167252You know people are wise to this type of gaslighting, right? It doesn't work.
>>147167204>Then get torn down for being white because they succeeded in making a likeable product.no they don't because they're not thin-skinned faggots
>>147167271name 5 times someone got blacklisted from animation for being conservative and not just because they were annoying
>>147167274You people freak the fuck out at your own reflection, you shouldn't talk.>>147167282So you can claim "uh actually it was cuz they were annoying not cuz theyre conservative"? No thanks, I'll accept your concession instead.
>>147167271>>147167299>gets told to refute his argument>starts being a passive aggressive bitch about itanon people try to bring up how Zach Hadel used to say nigger a lot and had rightwing views just to get him cancelled and it didn't work and now he has one of the most successful shows in recent yearsgetting "blacklisted" for this shit only happens if you're a spineless cuck that pulls the victim card and cries about it
>>147167308Oh so now its not "being annoying", its "not being spineless".
>>147167299>>14716730>>147167316>he's still crying and resorting to moving goalpostsalso to add onto to this Robert Eggers constantly gets accused of being rightwing just because he only has white people in his movies yet he's recognized as one of the best filmmakers in recent time and clearly doesn't give a shit and now Nosferatu is one of the most successful movies of 2024go be a little bitch somewhere else
>>147167316You're getting so mad like nigga turn off the screen nigga go to bed lmao
>>147167322>he's still crying and resorting to moving goalpostsTelling on yourself, yes. Also you fucked up your link.
>>147167308>>147167316Don't let this argument distract from the fact that you can make whatever media you want online, so this whole conversation is irrelevant. Even if they will blacklist you, don't play their game and make cartoons. Its as easy as that.
>>147167322>>147167329>one minute apartCute. Here comes the screenshot of my post after you use inspect element to remove the (you).
>>147167322This one annoys me, he's too good a director get dragged into this shit and now you have fucking retards on both sides of the aisle chiming in on him just because he opts to make movies based in historical Europe and casts accordingly.
>>147167333>>147167343there is no link you schizo you're not even thinking straight anymore stop getting mad just cuz someone said you're being gay
>>147167347>there is no link you schizo>>147167322Right here, you erased a digit off one of the post links. Take a deep breath, anon. Compose yourself.
>>147167343I'm phoneposting I'm not that anon, go have your tantrum somewhere else fag
>>147167093>nobody hates him more then me Hated that motherfucker so many reason so can count me with you. The only reason why people say he's "well-written" is because compared to everyone else he got shit on the least during season 3.
>>147167347>gets mad for no reason>tells others to calm downlol
>>147167355Jesus christ shut up you self-victimizing faggot let's get back to shitting on Castlevania
>>147167356>I'm phonepostingYeah some people use two devices to samefag.>go have your tantrum somewhere else fagI've been perfectly calm, anon. The tantrum is you.>>147167369If you want to get back on topic then get back on topic instead of throwing tantrums.
Why are you faggots arguing when I was trying to be constructive? We need to BUILD. People keep associating white people with literal evil, and no matter your politics, we can all agree that's fucked up and no way to fix anything.
>>147167093you're not missing out on much, CoD is the worst game in the series and IGA should be jailed for making it
>>147167380anon you were the one crying about conservatives getting blacklisted, stop getting so defensive just because more than one person in this thread thinks you're beign retarded
>>147167392I see you don't want to get back on topic after all.
>>147167381I'm just gonna follow what >>147167334 is sayingLiterally none of this matters and if you truly want to be the master of your own universe don't cry about it like this faggot has >>147167188
>>147167402If you want to create, then create. You'll see what I mean soon enough, supposing you ever get popular enough first.But hey, if you manage to break through then I'll be cheering you on.
>come back to thread>some anon is schizosperging about whites being persecutedWhy am I not surprised
Good season will buy physical.
>>147167420That's the funny thing, it was one post that set everybody else off. I'm just chilling right now. I guess being objectively right ruffles more feathers than I thought.
>>147167409I don't know why you're still talking like this anon, it's really faggy
What do we think of nu-Orlok's voice lads?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCfSrdVc_5I
>>147167436Anon looking at these posts it looks like you're the one sperging out and getting mad and not even providing burden of proof
>>147158201>So where to now?behind the shed
>>147155560I hate all Richter and Annetta scenes. It felt so bad, especially when you know its all race mixing for no reason. her god form was sexy as hell thou
>>147167436>spends several posts getting mad>"g-gotcha u-u mad?"pathetic
>>147167436>That's the funny thing, it was one post that set everybody else off. I'm just chilling right now. I guess being objectively right ruffles more feathers than I thought.
>>147167446>>147167468You guys keep insisting that I'm mad and reaching for insults, I get the sense I'm not the upset one here.
>>147167274Bitch, I am not saying they are reacting. I am just fucking saying that their success gets them targeted. Nothing about them folding to this limp wristed faggots, faggot
>>147167492do you ever get tired of being a nigger?
>>147167460You shouldn't hate hetero.
>>147167532Anon no, you weren't supposed to reply to him! What have you done?
This show isn't good, but i did think some of richter's fight animations looked cool. I don't really care about any of the characters and don't understand any themes in the plot if there are any intentional ones.
>>147167547I love that raven guy
>>147167708>don't understand any themesone couple has mommy issues and unite white and blackone couple has daddy issues and unite light and darkwooooo
