Listening to DMC3 OST and god I miss when DMC had a very horror-filled atmosphere and visuals with level explorations and puzzles on top of the cool combat, it's something i seriously lacked in DMC4 and especialy 5 and i really hope the next game brings it back.

That last post inspired me to talk about some of my DMC takes and I am going to start with the the most controversial.
I like DMC5’s Nero design better than his DMC4 but I think they both miss the mark and for different reasons.
DMC5’s outfit is better than DMC4’s base fit but the saturation in DMC5 sucks. I like Nero’s haircut in 5 better than his DMC4 haircut because it does make him stand out however it is lowkey ugly. DMC4’s is cute but he looks too much like Dante at first glance which they are related so it makes sense but it isn’t good when you want to sell this character as different. I think the character designers at Capcom knew that but they course corrected too much. I think a happy medium could be attained with the hair.
Other critiques of Nero’s design. Just like the Rebellion being thrown out for a less iconic sword like DSD, Nero losing his awesome devil bringer arm is upsetting because that was the one thing in DMC4 that made him standout, especially compared to Dante visually. Also it just looked fucking cool. Like don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the devil breakers but nothing beats the devil arm in terms of aesthetics.
I do generaly agree with the post, but i have to say i am fine with Nero loosing his arm, exept that i think he shouldn't have grown it back, as great as the moment is, I think Nero missing an arm makes him both stand out againts the others and brings in some new struggles and things to do with his character and this disability. Like at the very least he shouldn't have the regrown arm be just a normal human one because the thing Nero has over the others is the asymetrical design elements that the others really don't have.
5 things your character can't do while speaking
Choke. Just think about it, seriously. Think about what choking is and imagine speaking while it’s happening. That would fuckin’ hurt, man.
Hiss. Look, it’s just not possible, okay? No matter how “evil” you want your character to seem.
Snarl. Animals snarls. The Beast from Beauty and the Beast snarls. The Hulk snarls. You know who doesn’t snarl? PEOPLE WHEN THEY’RE SPEAKING.
Shriek. Come on, 99% of the time, “shriek” is not the word you want.Let’s face it: if you put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence, your reader gets the picture. Don’t bring to mind banshees and screaming toddlers.
Sneer. I’m not even going to bother explaining this one. “SNEER” ISN’T EVEN A SOUND.
Choked is not meant to be taken literally, an obstruction in the throat. It means they’re having difficultly speaking, they’re forcing the words out with difficulty. Often used when the character is convulsed in tears or laughter.
Hiss is a low, threatening whisper. Raw, guttural, vicious. It is NOT a literal hiss like an animal, it is a tone of voice that serves the same function. Someone will hiss that they’re going to cut your throat- a message from one person to the other.
Snarl is the same kind of thing. Not literal, it’s a tone of voice that serves the same function. It’s raw and gutteral like a hiss, but more savage than vicious. It’s loud, it’s showy, it’s intimidating. It’s very alpha male, big man, look at how fucking dangerous I am. I’ll take ALL of you on. Even if they’re snarling at one person in particular, nobody better back them up or they’re gonna get fucked up too.
Shriek. Come on, seriously? We’ve all heard people shriek either in fear or outrage. High pitched, loud, out of control, feminine. Men can shriek, but it’s funny and emasculating. Think angry italian women throwing pots and pans or ladies on tables who just saw a mouse.
Sneering is contempt whether it’s a facial expression or a tone of voice or both. There are a hundred different ways to sneer with your voice, but it all adds up to the same thing.
How descriptive words work 101
Op radiating cinema sins energy with that list lol
OP tagging this as “reasons they stop reading a book in ch 1” yet not grasping like the most basic form of figurative language is… something
I have been thinking about what kind of a whiplash the change between DMC2 and DMC4 Dante had to be, especialy for Patty who met Dante already at one of his lowest points and saw it get even worse until Dante hit his all time low in 2.
I wonder if there's a fic exploring Dante's change in behavior and prefferably from Patty's POV because that'd be so fascinating.
Saw your post about how you wouldn't mind the early 2000s setting for a DMC adaptation and i think that if it'd be one, it'd have to be the grundy/nu-metal Blade/Matrix/Underworld/Resident Evil live action type with John Woo inspired action, flowing leather clothes and black bodysuits inspired visuals with alot of slo-mo and where every gunshot means something explodes and causes sparks to fly, with that gothic and dirty look to everything, like if a DMC adaptation recreated that type of vibe and look i think it'd work spectacularly considering the games already leaned into that sort of vibe.
EXACTLY! That would have been cool and stylish as fuck! Lean in! Lean in!
Instead we got something akin to sanitized superhero movie aesthetics made for normies. And not the Dark Knight movies mind you because that would have also worked aesthetically.

Also I find strange that they made Vergil the one who had to work to get stronger while Dante is the natural talent. Besides Dante being weak as shit in NDMC and not showing any of that talent, wouldn’t it have made more sense to make Dante the one who has to work hard so that way we the audience have somebody to root for? Because essentially this just means Dante is ass.
I think it'd would've worked better as a nod to the games to have Dante worknl for his skills and powers as a reference to you having to upgrade Dante as the game goes on.
I think DMC5 is 30x funnier when you watch all of V's scenes and interractions with the fact he's Vergil at the forefront of your mind. His little smirks and chuckles, him trying to act all cool and mysterious and everyone thinking he's a weirdo, that fuckass sense of humor through his book, trying to act all cocky and superior and it failing. The fact he's willingly running around in that goth get up he stole off a guy, accessories included.
I think we need to infuse more of V's mannerisms and DNA into Vergil, specificaly post-DMC5.
sometimes i forget that not everyone implicitly agrees that dante is a functioning-ish alcoholic (at least by 5). like it is such an ingrained part of my dmc understanding and reality i really do forget. he really is wacky woohoo pizza guy to so many people and im like This guy Haaaates his life he Hates himself he is the Most depressed guy on Earth he thinks about killing himself 50 times a day but he tells himself he cant because he needs to fulfill his perceived duty to humanity so he sacrifices the ultimate numb bliss of death for the smaller parasitic numb bliss of alcohol. <3
you are right and you should say it! every time we see dante, we also see his ghosts, and one of them is alcohol. there's an ever-increasing amount of empty bottles in his office, across every single cutscene where we see it, in pretty much every single game. this post compelled me so much i went and gathered some evidence! peruse under cut - dante's drinking problem, illustrated edition:
Devil May Cry 1
let's start at the beginning, first time we see dante. actually, a second before we see him, the camera pans over his dinner - pizza, and three bottles of unspecified alcohol.
two more by trish's feet a moment later. possibly the same ones knocked there in the chaos. either way, it's right there on the screen.
in Devil May Cry 2, there's only one cutscene with dante's office, at the end of lucia's half of the game, and either there was no time to add clutter, or someone must have cleaned. my bet is, since the game is set soon after the 2007 anime, that it was Patty.
Devil May Cry 3
the earliest part of the timeline. maybe at least at nineteen he wasn't imbibing as much yet? again, observe the opening cutscene. some of these appear to be wine and some whiskey, but it's a little hard to see...
...so i booted up the game and went into the first mission to look closer. yep, a whole squadron of whiskey stationed across that half of the office, even on the stairs.
Devil May Cry 4
it may appear dante is in a better state during that game, and i am not here to argue that point. i am here to point out that even a single screenshot shows the bottle army is growing in numbers.
the ladies may have contributed, but i struggle to believe they can account for all of this + whatever's in that overflowing trash can.
Devil May Cry 5
i have five words for you: it does not get better.
in addition to beer bottles scattered around, we get some wine on the fridge, and the side table, and a whole mini bar, and-
Bonus - Devil May Cry 2007
since the anime is the part of canon where we see the most of dante's day-to-day life, it makes sense that's where we see most of his drinking.
for example, every single episode's outro (except episode 11, where he's busy being crucified), dante sits with a bottle of whiskey (side note: dack janiels, lmao)
he is casually polishing off a bottle of wine, alone, in the middle of the day, when lady drops by in episode 4.
shares a beer with morrison (and later, a client) in episode 8. (note the clutter in the background, and some more clutter from episode 6).
and, of course, in episodes 11 and 12, there is the beer can battalion. (side note - budweinier, hehe)
i rest my case.
Seeing Claire seemingly having two holsters on herself in her RE Veronica design is making me hope she gets to be the first character in the RE engine with the more realistic guns and gun-play, to get to dual-wield guns in-game because that would be really fun and stylish and i think she deserves to be cool like that after being side-lined for so long. Plus she was a dual-wielder in the og Code Veronica (i think she was the first one to do so in the series too?) so having her be the first character with that ability in the remakes would be really awsome.
I genuinely wanna know the general fandoms read of the Huntr/x and Saja Boys meeting from the movie, specificaly their reading of Rumi.
Because Mira and Zoey are very openly horny about them, like genuinely salivating over 4 hot guys and a set of abs, meanwhile Rumi is looking at her girls with a look that to me reads as a face of uttern confusion.
Like Rumi genuinely does not unferstand their reaction and even says "Ugh, you guys are so gross." Before seeing Jinu and having a reaction that reads more "smitten" than "horny" even down to the k-drama music, slo-mo and the shoulder bumb with the eyes and the hand reaching out.
Whitch to me gives completely different vibe to the attraction that Rumi is experiencing towards Jinu than what Mira and Zoey are feeling towards the other SBs.
And i wonder how the general fandom reads that? Do you see it as Rumi just not finding the others attractive, do you see her as ace/demi or some variation of it, do you think the "gross" comment is less about the girls acting like that in general and more about acting like that in public about strangers they only just saw? Or does she think the whole act of salivating over people bodies is "gross"?
And like, obviously, it was there more for the comedic effect of "Rumi calls the girls gross for being attracted to men before also being attracted to a man from the group", but looking into it further it allows a deeper reading of Rumi in general and her sexuality/orientation and i wonder what you guys think?
I don't think we need a deep dive into their sexuality. They are three heterosexual young ladies. However, their behaviors can help us understand them as characters a bit more.
Mira and Zoey have no problem thirsting after the Saja Boys so openly, Rumi I think is just less open. So I think she can admit the others are attractive, but her behavior towards Jinu is he is more attractive. Her brain stops working, she gapes at him like a fish. All she can do is be dumbstruck by his handsomeness. She expects this meet cute to go her way only for handsome man to reject her.
Seriously, Rumi likes doing the rejection but if Jinu does it to her she is confused and not happy.
Didn't help her up. Rudely dissed her with shoulder brush.
"She is not my type" Rumi: what, why??!!
Not sure i wanna take the thoughts of someone that calls Polytrix a perversion and seemingly doesn't wanna interract with the text past the surface level reading (while saying others don't have media literacy) too seriously.
Also as someone who ships Polytrix for the emotional reasons and not sexual, to say Polytrix shippers just want to sexualize a relationship between women and want to see them bang feels like a very classic homophobic rhetoric about queerness being only about the sex. And, frankly, i am glad that i checked your account where you say these things after your reblogs wording giving me some red flags.
Well it's a ship, ships are romance. Not platonic friendship. Otherwise you would like it for the emotional close friendship without needing them to bang. Movie had friendship for Huntrix not romance. You can be salty all you want. I don't like polytrix and what it does to the characters.
If you are going to talk to a fandom, know not everyone has your taste in ships. Some just want to enjoy the story.
I literaly do not think romance has anything to do with sex, you can have a lifelong romance with someone and not bang a single time. And this colleration and focus on sex in queer relationships is an old homophobic tactic to try and make those relationships feel dirty or wrong.
And for the record, you don't have to ship Polytrix, nobody does, but to straight up hate on it because your reading of the characters is different while insulting it and people that ship them, especialy a queer ship while hailing a by-the-numbers straight rivals-to-lovers ship just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I think that is called a friendship. A sexuality does partake in sex. Just depends what is arousing for them. Gay likes men, lesbian likes women bi bounces both way, and hetero bounces across.
It just seems like you can't handle different opinions to your own. Polytrix fits as AU, polytrix seems crack. Because you have to change the dynamic of Huntrix in order for it to be romantic.
So you asked a fandom for their opinion, I gave you mine. However, your more hung up on me disliking polytrix. I don't know what you expected, but for everyone to have the same taste in ships. I don't talk about fannon I like cannon and what the movie showed us.
No, i am fine with different opinions, but i am not fine with homophobia, your whole mindset about queerness and it's erasure of asexuality, and calling a fictional queer ship as a perversion. If you just said you think they're all straight women and it's purely for the comedic value, then fine, but your wording, and your other posts made it very clear that you're just a bigot and i can't just let that shit go.

So I know back when each Spider-Verse movie first came out, there were a lot of people asking how Spider Noir would feel about black people when he's from 1933. I think the general conclusion people came to is that he's not going to be rude because it's a kid's movie and they weren't going to touch that with a ten foot pole, and a character that you're supposed to root for probably wouldn't be racist anyway.
But I've been catching up on his comics, and to my surprise, they actually answer this question in Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face, a four issue comic that I truly believe is one of the best Spider-Man stories we've had in these many, many, many spinoffs of Earth-616. I highly recommend this comic in general because it's well written and has great art, but I also wanted to drop some panels of that in here for anyone who wants proof and to gush about how good this is.
The thing is that Batman DOES have a sense of humour.
But his sense of humour is made for his OWN amusement and that's why nobody gets it.
or finds it funny.
Think whatever you want about Scott Snyders Batman, but he gets Bruces humor really well.
Bruce's thoughts about being thrown through a window at the begging of No Man's Land made me think of this post.

For people who read "Peter Parker in Gotham" fics please go read their 1995 and 1997 crossovers, while it's not really about Peter being stuck in Gotham, i think it's a really good place to look for inspiration for the dynamic between Bruce and Peter, plus they're really fun stories, especialy the 1997 one with Ra's and Kingpin.
Especialy the running joke of Peter being unsure of when Bruce is completely serious and when Bruce is pulling his leg.
I especialy enjoy them in their 1997 crossover because, with it being longer, they get to interract more together and they get to have more moments. Especialy the moments of Bruce trying to be his loner mysterious self and Peter just not letting him do that, Peter consistently stands up to Bruce and forces him back down on a human level. There are these moments where they relate to each other and when they're vulnearable together.
Why is he drawn like an 11 year old?! Why is he in a Tim Drake costume?! WHY IS HE PALER THAN BRUCE?! Wgy is he written like the last 6 years of Damian comics never happened?!
Genuinely FUCK this run, aside from generaly being mediocre writing and fact it's both trying to be a "back to formula" Batman run AND follow up on the end of the prevois rn and does meither well or interstingly, the treatment of Damian makes me so angry, AND I AM NOT EVEN A BIG DAMIAN FAN, but everything about this run connected to Damian is so fucking bad and everytime i see him i am stuck onthe fact he's SO GODDAMN WHITE.
They stole his drip, his melanin, his character growth, his height, they had Bruce say that Damian, an artist, writer and musician who reads, is uneducated in ART AND MUSIC. They ignore the fact he's going to high school, his relationship with Flatline and his growth over the recent years, plzs they completely forget to give him any of his likeable traits. Fuck this run.
