well despite the criticisms, people shouldnt assume Iâm slamming the whole effort. those 4 episodes are still around 8/10 score, which is above average and the greatest debut of a Castlevania series that could have ended up worse than the MK or Darkstalkers cartoon series.
So they did get most things right, sort of. but they are only are at 50% into what would be equivalent to a 2 hour movie and complete CVIII story. so Iâd rate it like an early access game still in development, nice start, now season 2 should increase the action and be more Castlevania.
Didnât Sypha wear a hood in her original appearance?
Motherfuckers didnât even know Sypha was a woman unless they beat the game with her, Samus Aran-styleâŚ
true, but by that logic, Syphaâs identity would have been concealed and hooded all these episodes. so I do give them credit not going the CVIII route with Syphaâs secret, which even lore wise, Trevor wouldnât have to be with Sypha long enough to discover sheâs a woman. They did right with her personality, so in some ways, netflix Sypha is better than CVIII Sypha,though the CVIII devs really arenât at fault since CVIII wasnât really intended to be social and story heavy, so they went with the generic low detailed sprite concealing Syphaâs gender until last minute since CVIII was low on twists and surprises. they wouldnât be able to get away with that if the game was highly detailed and in a real situation, there would be no vague pixels hiding her face, and no 8 bit audio not including her voice.
CVIII interpretation wise, Trevor knew since he rescued Sypha that sheâs a woman, but the player was kept out of that fact because the secret was a gimmick twist the devs wanted the player to figure out the long way. So Iâm glad the tv series didnât go through that bullshit route of making Sypha some androgynous hooded character with anime hooded shadows hiding her face. So its great they avoided that drama, especially since for generations the fanbase already know Syphaâs sex.
and in the making of the tv series, they probably wanted to make sure Syphaâs identity is revealed ASAP in season 1 right after being rescued, in case thereâs no season 2. Syphaâs character adds a lot more to the story and interactions without disguising her sex and voice. so there are some positives this series improves upon the original.
sheeeeit, Sypha looks HOT as hell on this showâŚthatâs good enough for me.
This brought back so many memories, man⌠I loved that game so much⌠game-wise, I enjoyed playing Sypha almost as much as Alucard. I still have the âinstruction bookletâ, actuallyâŚstill looks new as if the game was purchased yesterday⌠heh, it is funny that people forget how silly Grantâs last name is⌠âDanastyâ sounds like the name of some dude from a porno flick.
your judging his surname based on american ghetto lingo and juvenile rapper interpretation of the name. that point of view doesnât do the name justice.
anyways, the complaints about the dialogue is crazy. the 4 episodes have some of the most fitting and meaningful dialogue they can whip up for that scenario, itâs not nearly as cheesy as some other things out there. I think people would appreciate the Castlevania dialogue more if they watched Chaos Wars.
So tell us the entomology of the name Danasty Affinity. Educate us.
what? that word doesnât even have anything to do with Danasty. Anyways
I googled the Danatsy name, but no family name examples in history came up, but itâs still a natural original name, and especially considering the family name was invented by Japanese developers, it has no ties to the immature âDa Nastyâ western definitions of those similiar sequence of letters and similiar sounding word(s).
So aside from literally being Danasty, itâs nothing like Da Nasty.
Gotcha lol.
Lololol at the risk of sounding stupid, Grantâs last name is as every bit as âpirateyâ as they come since it is a very apt description of a 15th century pirate upon which their monikers are typically derived from i.e. âBlackbeardâ, âOne-eyed Willyâ, â@affinityâ or âCaptain Hookâ to name a few.
iirc, the game refers to Sypha as a male magic-user/warlock instead of female. Grantâs last name is officially spelled as âDaNastyâ with specific note of the âNâ capitalized for emphasis.
well DaNasty could be equivalent to how some surnames are designed, like McBride and MacMurchadha. Iâm sure back in the 80âs, the Japanese creators of CVIII didnât even know what âDa Nastyâ referred to in america. and there was no internet social media back then.
Yeah after watching it again with my gal really the only actual âbadâ voice acting is the main priest dude. Fuck he was unbearable. Like half the time I couldnât hear or understand wtf he was saying. I hope whoever did his voice never works again.
why people gotta ostracize a particular VA? they were all great and convincing in their personality and tone. plus naturally not everyone speaks in a way that people can hear/understand. I know people my folks donât understand, but people accustomed to various english dialect, tone and style of speech, can still understand what theyâre saying.
thinking someoneâs career should be over just because they dont like their VA delivery, is just plain heartless, what if you knew the person and actually like them as a person and are a friend or good natured well to do aquaintance? youâd still want doom and gloom upon them?
Yes bitch, I want that fuccnigga to starve to death for making me suffer through that bullshit. It would be even better if I could sit and watch him decay as I was hand fed peeled grapes.
But no seriously that dude was booty and everyone else was decent to great. The lame generic screams were off putting and as I said some of the audio sounded strange but it was a good effort overall on that front.
These two right nowâŚ
No one cares. Take that shit to Pm or something.
yeah grant should be in the show, why all these people hating on affinity. what a bunch of sheep. the belmont guy was an annoying whiny emo character not unlike the new darth vader wannabe loser in force awakens.
best part of show was dracula fucking shit up and the shitty priest getting rekt. the chick was hot too. 7/10 will watch season 2, hope they add grant and make trevor not so fucking emo alcoholic
Thread title needs to be changed to âGrant Danasty Fangirl Thread.â
Itâs funny because ainât none of the fuckers gave a shit about the abomination that was Grantâs design in Castlevania Judgment.
All these supposed fans of a character that hasnât had a real appearance outside of a couple cameos in 25+ years.
