Some times fans aren't even mad that it doesn't match the game...it's that it doesn't feel right. Arcane, one piece and etc weren't 1-1 but they elevated the material. If it's watering down...pple are gonna be upset. Not that I'm saying this is watered down or nah.

I take this as a great opportunity to make new fans of the franchise as long as itβs well written for what it is it should be fine thatβs my opinion but I also have the opinion of a person who came in with no expectations so I guess thatβs unfair too long time fans

Ay Lee, thanks for the drop, and as DMC fan I think the adaption is pretty good, and hits the main points. I guess some "fans" are more "hardcore" than others. Regardless, I think this adaption captures Dante's silliness and charm pretty well.

Yea...I honestly don't see what they are talking about with this. DMC , in particular, Dante's character is almost exactly like depicted here.

Yeah I know that you tend to say things out in the ether when you aren't serious about it . Its just how your thought process work things out. I just wanted to comment just in case if you are not aware of that condition.

About Dante, he isnβt really an OP character but a showboat.
Now the complaints probably come because the show is set around the time of DMC3. Itβs the most beloved game in the franchise (I prefer the first game). DMC3 is a prequel and you get to see a younger Dante.

I disagree, the show hits most of the main points from the games. Even if they are told a little differently. Exception being the White Rabbit who is apparently from the manga.

Honestly they changed so much that I just view this as a different product, something completely different from the games. What has a lot of people outraged is that the director of this adaption claimed to be as accurate to the lore as possible but dogwalks on so many things that fan consider to be DMC.
As for why when it comes to videogame adaptations and why it riles up fans, there's only like a handful of good adaptations out there so when they see their franchise disrespected in a way they perceive as a cashgrab that just wants to profit off an existing IP(which most of the time is accurate) for example the Halo TV show and that female DOOM guy thing they did for a few years ago.
As a new DMC fan who has only played DMC 5 and seen playthroughs of the others, I'm fine with the adaptation but I do wish some things are done differently. However, my god they butchered Borderlands. So I completely understand fans who get really upset when they change the source material. (It makes no sense to alienate the people that got a series to where it got by disrespecting the material and/or fanbase. Just take a look at marvel or star wars, the fans got them where they were/are and they got a slap for it.)
I do partially agree it makes no sense for them to come to a react channel and tell them this is nothing like the games. Maybe they want you to experience the games instead, which they view as the superior product.
TL/DR: Fans have been burned many times by shitty Hollywood adaptations and they just want something they are passionate about to be adapted properly( it doesnt have to be a 1 to 1 adaptation, some stuff can be changed as long as they keep the characters and the general themes of the story).

Fun Fact: Having different color eyes in real life is called Heterochromia. Mila Kunis from That 70βs Show has it.
Ernest Mitchell

There is a condition called Heterochromia where a person can have two different eye colors and it's hereditary. It's very rare but its usually harmless and I always thought that Heterochromia would be really cool to have.

At the end of every Devil May Cry episode they have a RIP for Kevin Conroy. You can tell they had major love for him.
Ernest Mitchell
2025-04-11 00:52:05 +0000 UTC
As a huge fan of all the Devil May Cry games and grew up playing the games as they released. I loved this show. Yes, it creates its own story but it used characters and aspects from the games as Easter eggs and a rough draft. I like that they are using their own story, it keeps me (someone who has played multiple of the games, multiple times) interested in what they are doing with the story and what spin they are doing. I donβt want the same story told again, I would just play the game.

This episode had all the Capcom references, Raccoon City-Resident Evil, Megaman, last episode was Street Fighter. Episode 1 they talked about Bio-hazard Weapons-Resident Evil again.
Ernest Mitchell
2025-04-11 00:43:06 +0000 UTC
So that whole raccoon city thing is a reference to the fact that dante was originally supposed to be one of the main characters of the resident evil games. I think he was supposed to be leon kennedy but then they changed it and made dante part of devil may cry.
