Its clearly not that popular though, you'll stop hearing about it a week or two from now when the astroturfed bot accounts and Reddit trannies stop sperging out about it on Xitter.
Just watch the opening first 10-15 minutes. When I think of DMC I think of the geopolitics and what the American government is doing about demons...oh wait no I don't.
At this point I turn it off. Everything you feared/heard about is true. Its not even subtle about it at all.
She's bi and she's mine
It has more backlash compared to the Castlevania series mainly that the DMC games have a more accessible story with a larger fanbase that can see through the bullshit. There are still some praiseworthy parts, but the cringy pop culture references, blatant meme pandering of DMC5 (like Virgil saying "I am that Storm" while the Storm song plays right after and Devil Trigger playing during Dante's scene despite that being Nero's song), the really tone deaf use of American politics for a humans are the real monsters message (which reminder Adi happily attended the inauguration party this year) while making a pretty tasteless allegory for making innocent Demons into arabs given current events (alongside the fact its convenient the only "nice demons" are all the human looking ones).
It's still getting the "OMG it's so progressive! Take that Christain Rethuglicans!" from Reddit, but word of mouth is killing its momentum. No fucking way this is popular with how Devil May Cry has a solid fanbase. It's so on the nose I can hardly see through the crowd of arabs and jews dancing to this shit.
I know this is about 4 to 5 years back but with the current lineup of shows that nobody seems to really care about i remember this little hashtag from years ago and thought it was a joke. All these tumblr types trying to trip over each other to get their bland queer/diversity cartoons that never would have had any chance plus they're too lazy to go indie. A lot of these seem like they were ran through a prompt to pitch a generic SJW show and honestly the artist side of me just looks at the style and gets a little annoyed lol. Did/Do these people not get that this stuff looks the exact same and let's say a few of them did actually get their shows greenlit. You have a network with like 3 or 4 of the same looking show with the same premises and same checklist of brownie points.
You will never be adventure time.
These made in a factory cartoons about a bunch of diversities in fantasy settings lol.
That was so incredibly mid. There wasn't a single thing in that trailer that made me want to watch the show, it was literally just "okay, don't do X thing" [cut to other character doing X thing] "wow you did X thing you suck," repeat over and over. I kind of wish someone would go back in time and shoot Joss Whedon for creating the quirky millennial writing style that poisons all of this shit.
I think the only memorable thing about it is the title. And I don’t even know if the “haha, you said nutwood, penis!” innuendo is intentional or not.
My first thought was penis, my second thought was Nutbush, and I don't think anyone wants their show to remind people of Tina Turner OR genitals. Definitely would've needed revision before making it to air.
And here I thought the town Rupert Bear lives in.
Why are they shilling him so much, is the guy in bed with Netflix execs, or what?
