Frieren broke them.
Good.
They were broken before that, though.
The key takeaways of modern writing
Being insufferable as possible is a positive
Reverence for past actions are deplorable, no one then could ever be “that good” because I’m clearly the superior today
Writing prose or with meaning is “icky”, only vapid anti-intellectualism combined with unrepentant narcissism is allowed
It's interesting, how uninteresting the modern writing is. I know next to nothing about DMC. It was never my thing. But I read the 2005 writing and it grabs my attention. It's interesting, and it gets me thinking, while also sounding like realistic exposition. How someone would explain how they came to their perspective.
The modern writing may be gag how someone might talk in the current year, but it doesn't make me want to know more. It's so dismissive and belittling. "Oh, this ancient hero had an epiphany and saved the world from his own, evil kind. Big deal." Why would anyone care about a story presented in such a manner? It's actively sabotaging itself.
Netflix show be like "the demon of legend that went against his demonic instincts in order to save humanity should be dismissed as unimportant. but the demon "refugees" that have contributed nothing to the human world and sacrificed nothing for the human world, and are trying to guilt trip humans for having a reasonable prejudice against their kind and are shaming humans in to accepting them in the human world? THOSE are the demons we need to respect and save"
those "demon refugees" werent a thing in the games just to let you know
Demon "refugees" in the context of the western, Christian version of hell and demons makes absolutely zero sense because those kinds of demons don't have their own will and can't form families or whatever bullshit they're pushing. They are the literal embodiment of evil whose sole purpose is to torture and punish sinners in hell.
Not just contribute nothing but, at least based on that clip that was posted, it looks like they may be - however unwillingly - in the bad guy's gang.
They do nothing against the other gangster demons, then whine about racism being just as bad as toxic Hell that kills you if you breath. Gotta love Modern Writing™.
I'm getting literal chills from the DMC3 intro monologue just reading it as I remember the amazing organ starting. HIGHLY recommended to check out at least the intro cutscene somewhere.
The modern writing is trying to not care. All of that millennial lefty writing is trying to "deconstruct" while ignoring making anything cool for the fans.

opted for a ps2 version, don't trust a 'remaster' not to fuck it up. I forgot how good that opening really was.
Literally says “bla bla bla” clearly the writers don’t care about the story they themselves are adapting. I’d never “bla bla bla” an adaption of a video game I was working on even if I hated it or of it was as retarded as resident evil.
It always feels like a mandatory job requirement is for these people to either have never watched/played the source material or actively hate it.
you should check out the actual opening
sorry for the shit video quality, I opted for the PS2 version over a 'remaster,' because we all know how those turn out...
Irony poisoning at work. Nothing has meaning anymore. Nothing can be treated with serious gravitas, unless it's related to the leftist writers' political views about the Current Thing. Everything needs to be funny, quirky, sarcastic, bitter, and/or overriden with modern slang and profanity.
I suppose this is what we get after mocking the "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIGGG-IIIGGGHHHTTT!" scene for 20 years.
I noticed our beloved mod came back and is doing great work as always, so thought I'd repost because this was relevant and original OP got banhammered again.
Original thread here.
What bullshit reason was he banned for?
It's a short ban, but it was for posting too many threads.
Isn't there a way to ban someone from posting threads without deleting their threads/preventing them from commenting?
Yeah. It was a manual deletion of the thread...
You'd have to ask Dom about that.
I've had to be careful with that. I walk a fine line at times.
It makes you dangerous and sexy.
And slightly hated.
True artists always are.
Can't go letting the board become too active now.
Whoever reported those posts needs to be banhammered.
Thanks for reposting this .
DMC3 was a great game, so was pretty much everything else from the PS2. I remember how good it felt to play something made by people who were catering to you instead of people who hate you.
THAT’S why the Netflix writing is so shit, that’s why they purposely added the obnoxious “blah blah blah”. They’re signaling right from the get go that this isn’t for us and that the past is dead (that Kylo speech from Last Jedi). That’s fine by me, one more thing to completely ignore and not waste money on
This is what they teach in colleges. Feminism can never create only corrupt or destroy
Chatgpt, write me an exposition dump that disrespects the lore as much as possible.
