In the case of something like Death of Superman, faithful is better because it makes the story more presentable to people who aren't fans of the original storytelling medium.In the case of Castlevania though, I agree wholeheartedly with your point and have often expressed similar sentiments. Not many people seem to be watching it who weren't already connected to the franchise in some way -- almost every single viewer seems to be either a fan of the existing Castlevania franchise, or a friend of said fans. The latter seem to view it as a decent place to step aboard (and it is; it even starts essentially at the beginning of the story!) but are nonetheless "familiar enough" with it. So, given that basically every viewer possesses at the very least a cursory knowledge of the original material, Ellis has my fullest blessing to express a bit of artistic license. He gets to feel like his talents are used properly rather than as a very highly paid photocopier, and we get some twists and turns that keep things a little more interesting. It's a win-win in my opinion.As long as he sticks to the major story beats like he's been doing, I really don't mind some changes elsewhere, even hefty ones.
I love the picture! Baby Al! Squeee~♪
Confirmed. Lady vampire in the trailer is Carmilla.
There's three lady vampire sin that trailer. You mean the blonde one?
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.
