Maybe we'll get a new writer/story direction.  Hopefully someone who played the games.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

It would be icing on the cake if they replaced Trevor Morris while they are at it. Preferredly without the scandal.

Does it need to be illegal? It's predatory and gross, and well beyond what most people consider acceptable.  Nobody is saying he should go to jail, but I won't be surprised if he's dropped by Netflix, and I would support the decision.

At this point I don't mind at all if Netflix drops the series. Season 3 pretty much wrecked whatever interests I had for someday watching the show.

Yay, another decade of non-Castlevania entertainment whatsoever. Just what all of us fans wanted.

Enjoy your pachi-slots & digital re-re-re-releases of Symphony of the Night

I personally can't understand why fans would even want this show cancelled, even if you did not like the latest season the fact is that Konami apparently has no interest in it anymore and thus the ONLY love it is getting in today's market is the popular tv show, if the show leaves than once again where stuck with nothing CV related to experience and is that what you truly want which is for the series to sink into obscurity yet again?

Besides I like the show, my only complaint is that they seem intent sticking only to the CV3 era when I feel the lore of CV is so perfect and ripe for spanning between different eras between seasons and eventually making it to the Sorrow saga for the final season but obviously that is not going to happen now since we are nearing 4 seasons and still stuck in the CV3 era.

For me personally I'd rather have good/decent CV over bad/terrible CV. I don't mind if the netflix series goes away due to this incident. I was not really onboard with it since the beginning so I'm not missing anything. Others will feel differently about it obviously. Each to there own right?

Speaking for myself, I don't necessarily want it "cancelled", I can see the worth it has for the brand. But if it depended on me, nothing > unasked bastardization of the product. The only thing I feel this show has going for it is the visuals. The writing has flunctuated between mediocre and atrocious from day 1.

Be realistic everyone. The only way the CV brand will survive at this point is the Netflix series, unless Konami sells the game rights by some miracle.
The fan community is dying. It's been out of the mainstream eye for a long time.

The first thing people think of when they hear Castlevania now is the show. It's the first half of the google page. We'll probably get a game based on it at some point if things don't go sour because of this.
The CV brand has changed its face and its image and whether you like it or not, the show is the face for most people now.
UPON THE COMPLETION OF ITS STATEMENT, THE BLOOD MONKEY LEAPS TOWARDS YOU, BARING TEETH. IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU.

This is true. And I hate that it is true. We all wouldn't have to deal with any of this shit if Konami just unfucked themselves already. But that will never happen. We'll never get proper Castlevania back.
