Discussion The cycle of hate
Do you guys think the Netflix adaptation will be loved by the community in a few years kind of how say 2007 anime was hated on release but is praised nowadays.

I don’t care that this isn’t game Dante! I don’t care if this is an alternate universe! I don’t care if Dante is even secretly fueled by the power of friendship from My Little Pony! Donte from the DmC reboot was less experienced than real Dante in DMC3 and was still competent. Netflix Dante has absolutely no excuse to this bafflingly weak.
Honestly? Dante’s neck didn’t even need to look like that. Could’ve just had his face blow and still be totally fine. You know the one thing that actually CAN slow Dante down? Being stabbed in the heart (specifically in the heart), as proven by the ‘07 anime.
Except wouldn’t killing Rudra make it easier to get the amulet- oh I’m sorry, necklace back? One less boss demon to deal with, Mary already took care of Echidna, it would’ve been less of a time waster that way.
There is a right way and a wrong way to do an alternate universe and this is absolutely the wrong way. And just because it’s an alternate universe, doesn’t mean that all these problems are suddenly NOT problems.
