Basically constant comments, and posts in some form of :

Is this show evil? Is this show appropriate for young kids? Child is watching Demon Hunter, and someone freaks out that it's a demonic show. I went to church, and they told us not to let our kids watch Demon Hunter.

First, I had to have this show explained to me by my son. It's considered Kpop because there's a few kpop voice actors. ( target audience ) The summary of the show sounds like a knock off Constantine to my ears. ( the 1st episode of DH is damn near the end of the movie Constantine) My son took the time to show me song lyrics that were being complained about. They all looked fine to my eyes. The people complaining may be feeling called out on being two faced, or a bad friend.

This point of the conversation I told my now adult son that the reason the movie Ice Age was so good was half the movie was double entendres the parents laughed at, and went over the kids head while still making them laugh. That IP got more movies them the writers had double entendre. But, it's the example I'm going to stick with.

Here's where I'm going to be clear I have an opinion. Keanu Reeves is making another Constantine, and he's already said it's going to be his last movie. Constantine is based on a comic. Constantine has a cartoon. I'm pretty sure the show Demon Hunter is going to have a fan base that will love the Second Constantine movie. Depending on how long that takes to be released it's either going to be the kids watching Demon Hunter, their parents or both. Not that I think this movie needs any help being a blockbuster.

But, if this comment marketing campaign hadn't got on my nerves I would have never known the show was basically a Constantine knock off. That makes two distinct parties that benefit from all the complaints bringing this show to everyone's attention. All press seems to be good press again.

If you have seen something similar for another show I would be interested if you'd like to share.
