Problems with the show
>too many characters
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 whatever
>stupid arcs
We 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.
>niggers
We really didn't need all the Haitian shit. Too many blacks in a show set in 1790s France
>Vampires and night creatures in the sun
Wtf was that?
>Richter with magic
I know its canon, but I like Richter being the muscle while Maria is the magic
>awful scenes
You'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 fuck
Just add some Alucard fucking underage Annette scene I fucking dare you, Netflix, you wanna be adult? Go all the way
>Egyptian stuff
There is a place for a Castlevania story with Egyptian theme, this is not it
>8 episodes
This show could've been a 90 min movie. Too much chaffe
>no castle
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 grimoires

>>147155561
Egger'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

I 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
>>
>>147155560
I 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.

>>
>>147155625
The 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?
>>
>>147155646
The 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

Cont.
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 about
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.

Unfortunately, the season didn't go that way, so we had kino fight scenes and cringe prolonged dialogues
>>
>>147155678
I 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.

The 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

Juste 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 magic
Come on now, it's necessary to showcase Sypha's role in the Belmont lineage.
>>
>>147155701
Dyke 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.

Maybe 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

The 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.

The 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.

You 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.

>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.

>>147155678
Before 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.

what? 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.

don'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.
>>
>>147156906
I 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.

They'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.

>>147157092
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. 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.

You could just say Season 1. Season 2 already was like the S3 and 4. Season 1 was the script tardwrangled by Iga.

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.

You 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.

yea 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.

I'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.

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.

It'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.

>>147157379
Yeah 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.

I 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.

Nta but to play devil's advocate here, it kinda is different
At least when the Spanish did shit like that it's for the purpose of using it on criminals and whatnot, Spanish Inquisition be dawned
The Aztecs would give blood and baby sacrifices because they wanted more rain or some shit

When 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.

>>147158201
Soma 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.

Not 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.

I 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.

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?

Honestly I wonder how much that is just mother wanting her daughter back and how much it's wanting to use her maliciously.

Eh, 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.

We shouldn't do that, since Neflixvania is a totally separate canon, especially when discussing Nocturne.

>>
>>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.

I 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.
>>
>>147162637
I 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.

Shitflixvania has never been consistent in it's retarded rules on how holy relics and Christian religion works or not.

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.

An 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.

He uses it throughout alongside magic and fists/kicks and temporarily used Alucard's sword for one final finishing blow.

>>147163764
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.

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.

The 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.

They 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.

The 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.

>thinking their gods would give them blessings if they offered lives

This 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
>>147158300
I 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 citizen

This 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.

Cont:

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 both

Somebody 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 timing

cont:

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 sacrificed

If 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 escaping

The 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 captives

The 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.

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.

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/

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?

Netflixvania isn't worth watching in general
Aside 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

>isaac objectively upgraded over his game counterpart
honestly, I don't think so
he 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 consequence
I 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 everything
They 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
>>
>>147166169
Isaac'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.

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.

>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".

Exactly. 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.

That still makes Hector out to be the badguy despite Isaac being worse unless you want a demon army vs demon army story.

>>147166614
I also like to add that even ignoring the historical revisionism Dracula is objectively more evil than the Church depicted in the show.

Again, 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.

>>147166813
I 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".
>>
>>147166813
I 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 it
all 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 shocker
meanwhile all the posts saying why it's shit are actually saying why they don't like it

Too 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.

there's not much in the way of lore unless you're in her circle, she's a pretty reclusive person
She'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 community
Only 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 time
But it seems Jeto has gotten out of it and is still making art of the series which is nice

You 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.

The Northman is a fun viking action movie but the weakest thing he's done imo

The 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
>>
>>147167188
As 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?

I'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.

>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.

Jesus christ shut up you self-victimizing faggot let's get back to shitting on Castlevania

>I'm phoneposting
Yeah some people use two devices to samefag.
>go have your tantrum somewhere else fag
I've been perfectly calm, anon. The tantrum is you.
>>147167369
If 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.
>>
>>147167093
you're not missing out on much, CoD is the worst game in the series and IGA should be jailed for making it
>>
>>147167380
anon 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
>>
>>147167392
I see you don't want to get back on topic after all.
>>
>>147167381
I'm just gonna follow what >>147167334 is saying
Literally 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

>>147167402
If 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 persecuted
Why am I not surprised

Good season will buy physical.

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.

I don't know why you're still talking like this anon, it's really faggy

You guys keep insisting that I'm mad and reaching for insults, I get the sense I'm not the upset one here.
>>
>>147167274
Bitch, 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

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.
>>
>>147167547
I love that raven guy

Why did the writer have everyone talking like this? It's feels like an immature person try to pretend to be an adult.
>>
>>147155658
I think they will say "damn it" or "curse you" instead of "fuck".
>>
>>147167224
Does this have a torrent
>>
>>147167913
The writers for this show have the emotional and mental maturity of edgy 13 yr olds so the characters they write aren't any different. Don't expect anyone to talk without having the words "fuck" in their sentences.
>>
>>147167391
You defended Isaac. Your opinion means nothing to me. Until CoD makes all future releases of CV3 a quarter of its original length and replaced it with unskippable pseud Dracula apologia and Islamic asskissing, you don't have a fucking point.
>>
>>147167839
Since season 3 was a filler arc, most of the first series has nothing to do with the main plot as well.
>Isaac, Carmilla, and Hector never met the trio because the writers wanted to give Isaac dindu nothin arc.
>>
>>147167839
They exist for whatever fujos and faggots watching have something to sperg about on sociel media and for the writers to jerk off to later. Other then that, they're both useless and uninteresting.

>>147167987
I've never checked, I own Codex Black legally and likewise never had to for Onyx Equinox since I have the MP4's and also own it on blu ray

I just checked Nyaa and it doesn't have Onyx at least. The Pirate Bay has some Onyx Torrents, but only the 720p one has seeders and even the 1080p one is clearly lower quality then the easyupload link I gave, since the combined 1080p torrent is like 1.3gb wheras the mp4s I have I uploaded are like 1.3-1.5gb per episode
