To each his own, I suppose, but in my opinion, if the main reason you loved Castlevania was for the established canon and storyline, I don't want you to have any influence over the fate of the series. It would seem that some fans would prefer it if Castlevania was a convoluted anime series, and care less about it's core fundamentals: Exciting/challenging game play, Gothic/horror theme and mood, and the Belmont lineage vs. their archenemy Dracula. The rebooted series is delivering all of that, on a grander, more serious scale. LoS's story telling was a little sloppy, but no doubt presented the most compelling tale since Symphony. The old canon had become a joke. We will never know if Mercury steam was the best team for the job, but we should be happy with what we got; a modern re-imagining of our beloved series that took a whole game to set up the motives of one of the greatest villains of all time. And now we have our true Belmonts, (presumably) behaving exactly as we have come to expect them to.
