Topic: Netflix Castlevania Animation: Cast Revealed

[Aiddon]

I go away for a couple of days and suddenly this thread:

Not nearly that awesome, unfortunately.

Anyway, another interview with Shankar in which he makes an interesting comment on Death:

Arent there like 3 CV sites (being generous) and deader than the chapel?

Being a purist about a book i understand. Being a purist about a game with barely any story (having A LOT OF STORY FOR A NES GAME doesnt make if full of story) released 30 yrs ago i dont. For all we know IGA might have changed the CV3 story to something like that had he gotten the chance to do CV3R.

Of course it is not a full story, man. Nobody here is saying it is. And nobody here wants down-to-a-comma purism. At least, I don't. It's not even ENOUGH story to want a "true purism".

For all we know IGA might have changed the CV3 story to something like that had he gotten the chance to do CV3R.

Hypotheticals aren't really debatable. And if he did, many would dislike it just aswell. IGA is not a god, and "it's good because IGA did it" is just as ignorant as "it's good because Ellis did it".

Things are getting very heated but during the LoS period it was worse, I think.

Oh yeah. The LoS days... It was a great war that lasted YEARS. Just look at the page count on those two LoS and LoS2 threads!

Even those who do not like the show have to agree that it's still loads better than anything LoS ever had to offer.

Then i dont get your reaction. It might not be the BEST ADAPTATION EVER DONE (Well, maybe the best videogame adaptation so far but that's not a huge achievement) nor be a flawless series but the reactions some people have here make it appear like if it was less faithful than the RE movies

[Belmontoya]

I think threads like this would be much better off if those who do not like the subject made a comment or two about why they don't like it, and then moved on.

If you don't like something why continue to go back and check up on its thread just so you can continue to debate why you think it sucks with those who come here for a positive forum experience?

If you don't like it great, tell us why and move on. Don't keep beating it into the ground and antagonizing the fans who did like it.

THAT is what creates a hostile forum environment and I can imagine that users who come here and see that type of behavior get turned off. This isn't about silencing fans, it's about maintaining a positive forum experience.

For the record I didn't like everything about the show. I didn't like the music. I'm not gonna chime in every time I see someone praise the music to remind them that I think it sucks. I don't like arguing with people. Especially about things I don't care for.

Long-ish text. No, I'm not fighting you 

(click to show/hide)

That's the problem. Either people read one word of what I type and assume entire paragraphs, or read nothing at all. If you allow me the benefit of doubt and let me explain myself:

I said it was loose, not that it was bad. My opinion on if it's good or bad has YET to be voiced. And I'm not really inclined to voice it at all in here, considering what's happening. I was dying to write a Dungeon review with pictures and jokes, but as soon as the first person said they didn't liked it, all hell broke loose.

What you have seen me do here (in regards to """"debating"""" people, the reaction you mentioned) is just because people liking the animation are outright stating inaccuracies to make people with dissenting opinions look silly. This is unfair to them. People can't express their dissenting opinion without someone trying to "debunk" them, it's ridiculous. That time I flew at Sumez's throat was specifically because I couldn't take it anymore to watch someone say it's loose and someone feel the UNCONTROLLABLE NEED to correct them with a meme (wrongly, because it is loose). The person reads me say "loose" and understands "I HATE IT WITH A PASSION!" Reading comprehension is dead.

 These people are expected to "get debunked" and shut the fuck up to "not disturb the environment". Why is praise allowed but dissent frowned upon? Nagumo made her point and moved on. Uzo made his point and moved on. Then Calvo, not standing to read dissent, decided he had to "debunk" Uzo and low-key imply that those with dissenting opinions were just doing it out of stubborness. TheTextGuy says he finds it loose and moves on, then Sumez steps in trying to debunk his shit and make his opinion look like reductionist bullshit. Not even Dracula9 (who wrote in FAVOR of the series) or Aensland escaped Sumez's attempt at a debunking.

It's always like this. Go back and read the responses, you will see with your own eyes I'm not lying. Person A expresses dissent and moves on > Person B feels the need to upstage their opinion by poking them for unexplained reasons > Person A gets angry, because nobody feels nice being made to look like an idiot > Person B starts crying when those painted as silly or dumb by his comment get angry. C'mon man, people with dissent can be made unconfortable all day long, but as soon as the praise is made unconfortable, THEN it's wrong? It's OK to make the forum hostile as long as it's hostile to those who dislike the product?

Notice that in every single case, the person not once tried making someone's praise look silly, speaking only of their own minds. They made their point and TRIED moving on until Person B felt he was somehow entitled to debunk other people's opinions. This is why I got pissed and started firing.

And, back to me: What I said was expressely that this is a loose adaptation. This entire "debate" was not my opinion on the series. I could be that guy and compare the animation with the original plot and tell you exactly where the contradictions are. But, beyond the fact that I'm not interested in starting another shitstorm and looking like an idiot trying to win fake internet points, that's not the point, y'know? It's a loose adaptation, and as I said before, "loose" doesn't mean "bad". The word "adaptation" itself already implies that it's meant to be a new idea. I'm not dumb. The adaptation should stand or fall by its own merits, and for some people it falls.

That's not to say comparing it with the source material is wrong. The thing has a brand name in it and expects you to be familiar with it -- so when it tries being too different and plays too much with people's expectations, some people are bound to complain. But I, personally, could criticize the entire material by itself without once appealing to the original game.

This, so much. If you do not like something, give a reason, write a whole massive threat about it, even, but don't continually come back to throw it in the face of those who like it. Taste is something that can't really be argued reasonably about, so why someone would even attempt that is baffling.

And just for the record, I found the series to be okay. I like it mainly because it gives Castlevania life again. As a hardcore fan, I disagree with the things changed and/or added in the show, but I could enjoy it on its own merits well enough. I like it more for what it represents, rather than what it is.

Ah the LoS days.

Good times. Many a computer burst into flames, but good times.

[Dremn]

The LoS series was a dark age. I sincerely hope we never have to go back to those times ever again lol

Looking at what happened here with LoS and now with the animated series, just imagine if the forums existed when this came out, the world would be burning and Dracula would be ruling it with the hate generated by it:
