Let us journey.. Through the Mines of Moria!
I dont get it.
Not necessarily.
care to explain?
And before you do, am I going to get some kind of exploitable loophole to Cox's statement answer lol?
Well... Sort of? I mean, Alucard is NOT Trevor.
He can still however, "have been" Trevor.
And I really do not understand why so many people are swinging for the Satan possession theory. It just makes no sense, when the epilogue to LoS clearly marks the actual return of Satan, as most likely the big bad.
MoF is supposed to be more of what the fans wanted, which is Belmonts vs Dracula, with Alucard thrown in for good measure. it tells the story of what Dracula was up to between LoS and LoS2. It's where he "no doubt once was" the Dragon, as Zobek put it.
Satan has no part in what MoF is about. He got his ass GOD whupped by Gabriel, and MoF is not too far after LoS, allowing for at least 2 generations afterwards, for both Trevor to grow up, and Simon to grow up. I'm pretty sure Satan will need a bit more time than that to build up his vengeance.
Im more convinced the "Lost soul" is Zobek, an that he, as the Lord of the Dead, will have some part in Trevor's resurrection as Alucard. Or maybe the lost soul is NOT Zobek, and is instead something to do with the Mirror of fate, like some kind of soul bound to it or something. But I couldnt count Zobek out just yet. his dialogue with Gabuela suggest they have seen each other post LoS.
As to the screens and artworks,
Fuck yeah, that shit is bonafide creepy and I fucking love it. The face is probably like, a toymaker or something? Probably something along the lines of Frankenstein, where you go through his trashed workshop and fight possessed demonic toys and shit. We might even fight the Puppetmaster, who could be the Toymaker's soul bound to a demonic puppet.
