        So if the cast of a show isn’t entirely white it’s woke? Are u moron?

        Race swapping a character that was white is woke, yes. Same as raceswapping a black character is racist.

          Of course an adaptation affects the original due to perception

          Netflixvania has been the public face of the franchise ever since it began due to Konami doing jack shit since then except that mobile game, they chose to leave the kids who grew up with these games in the dust

          you fight dracula

          you fight him in the past

          you fight in draculas castle upside down
          you fight Draculas fricking dog
          the main characters are either a a family of people dedicated to killing dracula, or his son, who is dedicated to killing dracula

            While true, they also specified that the particular game in the series the season is on is literally about saving people. Your girlfriend and her sister in particular. The overarching themes of the series doesn't quite matter when the plot is revolving around a single game.

              Let’s be honest, they’re not adapting Rondo. Shaft is nowhere to be found. Dracula is nowhere to be found. They’re using the two lead villains from Bloodlines. Juste is here to get buck broken. Castlevania itself isn’t here. Two of the four kidnapped maidens aren’t here. No location or enemy/monster from the game has shown up.

              There is NOTHING here aside from characters bearing the names Richter, Maria and Annette. Even Alucard is here which is fricking weird because his forced slumber was meant to be disturbed due to the lack of a Belmont.

        He's not the final boss every game and he's even the protagonist in several of the games.

        Besides Castlevania is based on horror mythos beyond just Dracula, just like vampire mythos it's vast and encompasses a lot of things.

        bullcrap, i LIKED the show until the end of season two, i stopped precisely because it stopped being castlevania and just became "random dark fantasy"

        i FORCED myself to watch season 3, then i started watching season 4, i saw how Alucard immediately figured out the secret plan from the 4 vampire b***hes and i dropped it at that very second, the writing became so fricking bad

        im not one of those morons that go:

      As opposed to the same generic royalty = good in fantasy? It's such a weird hill to die on considering famine plagued Paris then. Louis XVI went down in history as an autist and incompetent king who would have prefered to be a watchmaker, and Marie Antoinette was a spoiled idiot and an Austrian in France. It was the worst people in charge at the worst time and it exploded when the bourgeoisie exploited people's frustrations and hopes.

      'Generic' is not valid criticism. Scheming selfish greedy power hungry lords and dames is a great trope for settings in the past
      > French Revolution
      > communists
      The French Revolution was a group of nobles fighting to shape France and the world to reflect their ideals against another group of nobles fighting to keep her the way she is. The poor peasant mobs were just pawns in a greater game, whether they were storming the Bastille or fighting in the Vendee. Commies tend to ignore this ignore this inconvenient truth because it opposes their class struggle narrative that everyone is a rabid ape fighting for food.

            Hollywood writing these days is awful. Instead of having one writer with an editor do what must be done with the director, they have an entire writing "team". Heard of the old saying
            > too many cooks spoil the soup
            Still rings true to this day. Not that Castlevania needed more than one writer anyway given much of the dialogue and story is done in the game, all you got to do is put that into film. Storyboarding would suffice

        This, both had a heart to heart and talked it out, she was disappointed in not only him who she was told to seek out but also in herself projecting that running away she did on him, wheras Richter found his motivation again and assured her he won't leave again.

    Because they're bringing up slavery to a series about fighting Dracula, the storyline from Rondo to Sotn is could have been a great place to explore, Richther going from a hero to a being a minor villain .
    - Lets to French revolution instead,
    - Rich people bad, muh freedom
    - Maria is a annoying a brat the second she opens her mouth because shes lacking a father figure .
    - Richters father never gets mentioned
    - Juste is so apathetic he might as be dead
    - Priest father ends being evil at the end
    - Fathers are bad mmkay

    Then they enforce the most unrelated things about slavery and how it relates to vampirism, revolution,destruction of mankind by bringing two Black folk all the way from haiti,just to make them relevant to the story. The propoganda is too much and so obvious it ruins the story, Castlevania is not about politics or agenda, its about good fighting over evil , never giving up the will to face that that lasts over centuries.

      When Warren Ellis was writing Castlevania, he had to redo the script 8 times and each time the board's notes mattered. Not because of the juvenile swearing or the uncanny dialogue that sounds like its copied from a wiki article discussing some historical battle; but I bet its because the suits in charge wanted to add more blacks, queers, and girlbosses in pants because they themselves hate what the world looked like in the past

        Video games don't deserve respect, which is why I don't think video game adaptations are worthwhile. In this case it's a terrible show regardless, but it's not really because the source material is holding it back -- there's not much material to it to begin with and they still fricked it up.

    why does Cinemaphilemblr always defend racism and sexism when it is aimed at straight white men? you really lose all your believability by refusing to call even the most extreme woke stuff

    • 7 months ago
      Anonymous

      wokeism isn't egalitarian, it doesn't even put up the pretense of being such
      the ideology behind it basically wants retribution to systemically level the playing field - ie make white men feel like shit for a few generations so everyone feels equally shitty at the end of it
      its moronic but its what universities are teaching to non-STEMs

              The whole B plot was absolutely pointless. Neither Isaac, Hector, or Carmilla actually interacted with the main trio. If he had stayed the main villain, everything would have tied together instead of pointlessly introducing Saint Germain. Isaac killing Carmilla served no purpose other than not giving Hector anything important to do.

              The only thing wrong with Isaac is that they called him Isaac. His part of the story was great and he could have stood on his own as an original character.

              >His part of the story was great and he could have stood on his own as an original character.
              It really wasn't. What do you mean by "his part of the story"? Removing him from the story changes nothing. Do you think the trio is incapable of beating Carmilla?

              so you're right, he could had been an original character and be important

              for me thou it would not and did not take anything away with the name or character being reworked

        I think what's sadder, since it was the middle ages, the kids were better off with her than in the villages eating grass soup and dying out of hunger or disease. sure, she probably used abduction, but some were offered to her as serfs in exchange for protection since she was a feudal lord. in fact, her whole plan consisted on acquiring land for building a country of her own. No world domination or vampire supremacy, just economic and world building.

    This was the difference between Carmilla and Erzebet.
    Carmilla's castle had heating, why vampire need heating unless they were trying to warm something? She had an army of vampires she probably raised, also food was brought there, which made no sense unless humans lived there too.
    Then we have Erzebet. Her place is a literal horror dungeon, there's nothing other than hooks and chains and everyone, even vampires are tortured in the most abominable forms possible. And that's because she likes them. Imagine if she didn't like the person.

    This is why Carmilla was better than Erzebet.

    We take the example of Lenore. She's a well treated vampire with youthful features? Who turned her? Mostly likely Carmilla and where would she find her? In taking in children. In fact, her docility and humane way of treating humans gives some reasoning that people were no harshly treated there, since maybe Lenore herself also came to the castle from that very same method.

      Weren't the four Queens of Stryga all explicitly turned by the previous vampire lord, who started off okay but eventually turned into a shitbag causing Carmilla and gang to turn on him? Lenore is like Hector, she only wants pets she can control and that let her give them affection as she pleases. Like Hector that's not viewed as a great trait, and likely arose from her being abused by those nominally her equals, the same way Hector was mistreated by other humans.

        No, that's only Carmilla's backstory. We don't know about the other women, besides for a bit about Lenore having been the daughter of a noble who had a revolt/coup led against him. She talked about soldiers climbing up her home castle's latrines with knives between their teeth when she was a girl.

      Richter is a badass in the show, but the presence of "Annette" took away screen time from him. It seems that writers just add a new character with a slightly different personality every time they don't know what to do with the characters they have.

            She isn't, that's the thing. She's a fighter, she's haitian, Annette was just Richter's fiancée. It's fine if you're going to introduce someone else to be his love interest in an adaptation, but maybe just make her that someone else? From the trailers themselves I was under the impression Maria's mom WAS going to be Annette, and the new haitian girl would be a new character rounding up the main cast.

      Konami's basically just a holding company for their own IP now. Aside from low budget, high sales series like their weird Japanese Board Game Video Game or Bomberman, they seem content to just let other companies use their IP and get checks for it. Look at all those shitty contra games/reboots that have come out.

      You'd think someone would look at how relatively well Iga did with his 2 "demakes" and 1 spiritual successor for his version and try to get some of that with Konami.

        That's kind of the issue. Konami makes so much from other industries that just well is nothing to them. Some of their IPs will be cheap to lease, other like Castlevania are probably expensive. So unless IGA is cooking a Bloodstained gacha or battle royale that blows up I doubt we'll see Castlevania again. Well not under its real name anyway, and the protags will have smaller but milkier boobies.

            Especially considering that the big reason IGA fell out of favour with Konami is that his games were gradually selling worse and worse. Order of Ecclesia outright flopped, which is why it's fairly rare and expensive now - not many prints were actually made.

    Hey, I'm only like two episodes in but mind if I share some kind of incoherent thoughts?

    One of the things that I think made Castlevania better than Nocturne was that Trevor, Sylvia and Alucard were good people fighting a bad fight.
    What I mean by that is that Wallachia was a regressive superstitious shithole that killed all but one of the Belmonts because they wouldn't kneel to the church and burned Draculas' wife at the stake because she knew how to do math or something. And to protect this place; Trevor, Sylvia and Alucard team up to kill Dracula, Alucard's own father and the smartest man to have ever lived.
    They were good in the sense that they did what was right, but what was right was never perfect, and I think this kind of moral incongruity made the show interesting.
    That's why, on paper, I wouldn't've minded a vampire story featuring the French or Haitian revolutions. Because these weren't "good" things, the French revolution spawned a government more brutal the French monarchy ever was, and the Haitian revolution was a literal racial genocide. So to watch good, noble people fight on behalf of these bad things sounds interesting.
    Once again, I'm only two episodes in, but I think they dropped the ball by having Maria champion the French revolution and Annette champion the Haitian revolution with no introspection or rebuttal whatsoever. By depicting the revolutions as a universal good, not only are you wrong, but you missed the point.

    And it's honestly surreal that I'm expected to root for Annette and Edouard after I watch a scene of them just killing random fleeing white people.

    • 7 months ago
      Anonymous

      I agree, the Haitian revolution should have been dealt with Annette witnessing first hand how blacks overthrew their masters only to do the same, thus ensuring that the status quo continued. In the end, what did she acomplish.

      And the Revolution in france should focus on Maria being a idealist, with strong beliefs only to realize the revolution itself commits atrocities far worse than those of the king.

      This issue, could bring vampires and foes either together or apart. it would explain why the church sided so much with the vampire and the vampires likewise.

        Nah, I want Maria to be an idealist who ends up becoming a villain when she tries to justify the Reign du Terror et la Infernal columns en la guerre de Vendee. Then have Richter oppose Maria and have him fall to the same conclusion that

    Much as people cry about the historical and race swapping stuff. They could get away with all of it if they just pulled a Big Trouble in Little China. In fact I'd say Rondo is already well set up for Maria being the real main character who grows up over the course of the season, while Richter huh hah huh hydro storms in. Doesn't even need to be Rondo, they're just in France and Alucard came to so they can be cool guys around your previously rejected script.

                I mean, we also got repped by white people. And we've only had one Egyptian actor who brilliantly acts beyond a token cast. The only thing usually we want is if you're going to do shit with Ancient Egypt for it to be fun, and if you're going to do post Ancient Egyptian to at least try to adhere to the strengths of the period of that country. Don't be afraid of British colonialism Egypt. Don't be afraid of Arabian Egypt.

                I can't do much about the We Wuz Kangz bullshit and its frustrating, but people seem to think Egyptians are heavily darker in terms of a majority rather than mainly olive colored.

Nobody thought it was offensive and if anything it was a point of pride that people were thinking about Egypt if that makes sense. There's no doubt people were grasping their hands in anticipation for potential tourism because of those films. It would be a different discussion if you were talking about actual mummies, I guess.

                There was some recent movie about Egyptian Gods that I remember my friends and family thought was boring shit. We kinda laughed when people were apparently more mad about it being full of white people like that fricking mattered beyond execution.

    She likes to hang us by the bone of our arms. Making sure we bleed slowly as possible.
    It never ends, not even after you are turned.
    Like a hanging piece of meat to slowly chip away. Strip by strip.
    Don't want to come? That's alright, she'll get you once you fall asleep. And then next time you wake up, you wake up in the same place as us.

      I feel like this season was missing more moments like these, just really spooky/creepy shit (also compared to the last series the gore felt way toned down). Bathory was the opposite of scary, she just looked like a bad Lion-O cosplay. Hopefully we get more freaky shit with vampire Tera.

      His father's an extremely wealthy banking executive who basically bought him a career. It's why he traveled constantly as a kid - he's talked about how he was bullied at school when he first came to America shortly after 9/11, so it probably at least partially explains why he got so worked up by that Apu thing.

    If women had a devil of their own to fear, it would be Erzebet Bathory. The relentless killer of thousands of girls, under the pursuit of eternnal youth, came to be known as the Blood Countess by her very own subjects!
    Her malice, her will to torture and dominate was by all means atrocious, even by the time she was born into.

    Some say the accusations were mostly fabricated and that the bodies found inside the palace were of young girls who died of natural causes and disease, since Bathory was known to pursue medicine as a hobby. Still, the blood countess was accussed by three acomplices who admitted her crimes, even though they were confirmed under torture, and then immeditatly executed before they had a chance to be interrogated by official law sources.

    Many say Bathory was betrayed and persecuted by the church of her time and because she was a wealthy woman known to lend money to the king of hungary.

    Even so, her burial site remains hidden and legends say she will return when her very own
    blood descendent finds her unmarked grave.

        That's cause Maria is literally what Erzebet liked in her victims. She beautiful, young, educated, peasant, virgin and above all, her opposite.

    I feel like there's a certain sort of Japanese insanity in the CV games that the show doesn't replicate. Like for instance, how Soma comes into conflict with a demonic anime Edward Scissorhands who can stop time and uses Dio Brando moves. And his motivation in wanting to kill Soma? A year prior Soma killed the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland who he met in Dracula's Castle that was sealed into a solar eclipse.
