Here's a funny thought: Ninja Theory's DMC is basically Bayonetta if it starred a man.
* Both star an amnesiac protagonist who is initially only out for themselves.
* Said protagonists are born of a forbidden union between heavenly and hellish aligned individuals that results in at least one parent severely punished.
* Both end up fighting their family members after having just remembered them.
* Look at the scene in which Dante flies through the air naked and gets dressed and tell me it doesn't look like the scenes in which Bayonetta strips and then redresses in the first two games.
* Bonus: Bayonetta is British and Ninja Theory is a British theme.
Y-...you're right.
I can't argue with any of this. If Ninja Theory Dante had better and wittier one liners it would be an exact 1:1. The 2000s sexism even had Bayonetta facing her Corrupted Evil Dad while Dante faces the memory of his kind, Dead Mom Plot Device. Which is also what gender benders would do in fandom spaces at the time.
Dante's RV being so close to an amusement park because he's a clown, is the closest masculine level of ridiculousness as Bayonetta being a stripper nun in a graveyard. Fuck, now I'm doing all sorts of weird comparisons in my head which are based heavily upon old warner brother cartoons.
