If you noticed the difference in how Lady talks about Sparda in the games vs in the Netflix show .
In the games, all the humans and even Lady respected Sparda. but hated demons. Which pushes the idea that you can like one member of a group even when thinking the group themselves are bad.
But in Netflix, they made Lady disrespectful of Sparda just so they could push the plotline that she is unfairly prejudiced against all demons and demons are "not all the same and she should stop discriminating against them"
They couldn't give her the original character otherwise it would undermine the message that they try to push that all prejudiced people are unreasonable because Lady in the original games was prejudiced against demons even whilst still respecting Sparda, but in the Netflix trash show they made her disrespect Sparda so they can push that she was "unfairly " prejudiced against demons. They can't fortham an idea that you can respect individuals of a group whilst still hating the group as a whole. Because if they admit that prejudiced people can be reasonable then they will also have to admit that people can be prejudiced against a group for a good reason .
This is a very insidious element of the "racism" debate, and they always have to strawman.
Of course some people are absolute bigots, and hate everyone of a race, and are actually unreasonably discriminatory and hateful, but that's always used to paint everyone with.
Let's take black people, as an example. I absolutely do not hate black people. But I recognize a ton absolutely terrible traits that are significantly more prevalent among the "black community," and will not apologize for that. And no one should, since it's just reality. But I've never mistreated a black person because they were black. So any cries of "racism" is just fucking thought policing, and those people can get fucked.
Counter point, i absolutely hate blacks, among other ethnic groups, because they are genetically incompatible with non-savage society. Just as white people can have a double standard deviation outlier and be a Chris Langam, so too can a black have the same jump and be marginally okay.
But that's the point. The sea of awful is the rule, the exception doesn't disprove that, in fact its the opposite.
There, I just summarized Western storytelling for the last ten years.
This is why, in my Adopted Dragon story, I'm going to subvert expectations by revealing that the dragons who everyone hates and calls monsterous, actually are hatable monsters. Just because the protagonist dragon is a sweet kid, doesn't mean that you shouldn't inherently be cautious when dealing with magical, treasure hoarding, fire-breathing beasts.

What I think is extremely funny is how few people in this entire debate even remembers that DMC literally already had an anime adaptation, it was even packaged with DMC4 back in the day and was the intro of numerous characters that would get confirmed canon in 5 a decade later.
So you don't even need to compare it to the games, giving them an easy out of "different mediums." There is a full 12 episode anime already in existence that adapts a chunk of time between two games with all of these characters in it and did it pretty well and accurate enough (sans Dante debateably).
Same group if there were to be a [new] live action Assassins Creed since that already happened in 2016 with Michael Fassbender.
At least that was a forgettable* film released well after its peak, I can almost forgive people not remembering it.
The DMC anime was packaged with the most highly anticipated game of the time, coming hot off the heels of the biggest hit they had, and basically any "fans" would have had to have owned it at some point unless they are literal tourists who jumped in at 5.
*So forgettable that I didn't even know Fassbender was in it, only Jake Gyllenhaal because of the few posters I saw marketing it. I literally went check if there was a second even more forgettable movie after you said that.
I think Gyllenhaal was in the Prince of Persia movie, not AssCreed. I haven't seen either, so I could be talking out of my ass though.
You right, I completely blended those two movies into the same thing in my head and just didn't even double check when I went look it up.
Genuinely do not understand why they exist. PoP was an already dead IP, and AssCreed was over the hill. And neither had marketing worth anything to even pretend they were trying.
I remember it and people have already mentioned the anime (the netflix crap isn't an anime) in the other post about how stupid the "Demon refugees " are .
Ah, I didn't see it there, my fault for skimming the now multiple topics about this. Either way, I can guarantee most of the people on the "pro-netflix version" side have not seen it.
Not even a DMC fan but thats extremely insidious if true. Good noticing.
I'd comment on the show comparison, but that would require me to have Netflix after they endorsed that "Cuties" atrocity.
Why are you actually watching deliberately subversive garbage slop?
If you're bored enough, just boot the games back up instead. Hate-watching vomitous slop still gives them views.
