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.
