I don't have a ton of faith in this series, but replacing Reuben Langdon with Johnny Yong Bosch is a pretty baller move.

Ok no that dialogue with Dante was ass. That’s 100% shitty meta Marvel humor. Dante wouldn’t fail to come up with a shitty one liner then joke about how he’s usually good at this and he wouldn’t [expletive] reference Masters of the Universe. I was already extremely worried after Reuben Langdon didn’t come back and my concerns have not been quelled only amplified. I really don’t want to be like this but Devil May Cry is one of my favorite game series of all time and so far all I have seen does not invoke confidence.

The action and Dante's vibe feels accurate...though that's very American Western style Superhero humor.

This is 100% in character. Lest we forget that Dante had to stop mid-fight to beat on his jukebox because it wouldn't work.

The man is a whole dork.

My theory that this is actually Nero's consciousness transported back in time to past Dante's body and trying to act the part so as to not mess up the timeline has yet to be contradicted by what they've put out so far.

People are just desperate to find reasons to hate this, even if they have to make up blatant bullshit like changing the character's entire personality just to make it seem like THEY changed it...which....is even more stupid now that I type it out.

Don't forget it's super trendy and definitely super cool to still hate on Castlevania, even after the most recent season of Nocturne.
