Topic: Castlevania - The Plot Hole Thread

[Inccubus]

Pro'lly. I have a half a mind to correct that and play it again with a very smug look of translation superiority on my face.

Let's see, plot holes, plot holes...
Where did John Morris get his steroids all the way back in the 1800's?

[Raphael Belmont]

He doesn't want to rule the world.  He wants to exterminate all humans.

oh yes, you're right, as Shaft said: "to cleanse and purify this world"

[X]

The only problem with exterminating the human race completely is that Dracula and other lesser vampires will have nobody to dine on. They would have to resort to feeding on animals which might be very undesirable to them. Clearly Dracula has not thought this through...

Actually I think Dracula, like most "Final Boss" type of characters, would destroy all of mankind, then destroy himself.  I don't think he cares about other vampires nearly as much as he cares for that final goal.  It's all very nihilistic.

[Raphael Belmont]

nihilistic.

So by wiping out the entire human race he is, in fact committing a form of suicide through genocide?? Talk about a screwball vampire.

how does that jive with his other goal of defying God?  does he want to actually overthrow God or is destroying God's imperfect creations sufficient for him.  did he decide that God didn't exist and forget about that goal?  what about ruling the underworld, where vampires probably don't need human sustenance?

Well, at first all he wanted revenge against god.  To do that, he became a vampire so that he would have eternal life.  Thus, he would defy god's decree of limited life.
My interpretation based on the existing evidence is that he only started to desire the extinction of the human race after Lisa's death to avenge her.

If God truly created humankind in His image, their extinction would assuredly be the ultimate Fuck You a demented douche like Dracula would aspire to.

And remember kids, suicide is our way of saying to god, "You can't fire me! I quit!"

whoa....this thread is going too deep.....
it's just a game anyway, i always thought ridiculous "you can't defeat me" by Drac followed 5 mins laters by "this cannot be, you defeated me for the 38.563.658.375th time!!!!!"

If only Dracula could have a dinner date with Vorador or Kain then maybe he would realize instead of killing off humanity he could just enslave them and use them as cattle and just thin the herd. An eternity of  living in mortal fear and being tormented by a vampire ruler seems to be a better form of revenge then genocide to me. Also maybe he could learn a new move set because the one he has now just hasn't been working for the past few centuries. No wonder the Belmonts and now everyone else can beat him.

Grandpa Belmont: " Okay little simon here is what he is gonna do. First off he will say something about how weak humans are blah blah then throw his glass full of blood down and say Have at you. Then he will turn into  some bats and appear infront of you and use a fire ball spell. Now all you gotta do is jump over the fire balls or use your whip to destroy them then smack him in the face or throw a couple tire irons at his head. He will turn into some bats and appear behind you just keep doing this until he transforms into a a really huge and really ugly demon then he will just jump around and shit green energy down on you, just kinda step out of the way when he does this or he will use his fire breath. Just keep whipping him and tossing tire irons at him until he says "Oh no this cannot be!"

Simon "That doesn't sound too bad....and hes been doing the same routine for centuries?"

Grand pa Belmont: "Yup its gotten so bad that some pretty boy with a 75 dollar hair cut beat him last week."

Simon "Wow...and here I thought I had something to worry about. Wait I thought he only appeared once every hundred years?"

Grandpa Belmont "Nah that was so 1994. The new director decided it would be better to just throw in some more people and have them fight Dracula every week or so."

Simon "But wait then what the hell are we having to deal with this if anyone can just beat him?"

Grandpa Belmont "Beats me."

EDIT

Grand pa Belmont: "Also when you get there if you really wanna piss him off call him Mathias."

Simon: "Why would I call him that?"

Grand pa Belmont "Well as of Lament of Innocence it turns out Dracula is some guy named Mathias. He just thought the name Dracula sounded cool or whatever also he got made fun of in highschool so it brings back bad memories."

Simon: "So let me get this straight.....Dracula is Mathias not Vlad Dracula Tepes....okkay...also what the hell is a lament.."

Grand pa Belmont "I think its a sad song or poem.."

Simon "Who is sad???"

Grand pa Belmont "IGA..."

Simon "Who the hell or what the hell is an IGA"

Grand pa Belmont " Believe me...you dont wanna know... now before you go off on your quest we need to do something about that hair...and put this on.."

Simon: "What the hell is this granpa Im not into bondage!"

That story is soooooo sad and very true about our beloved series.

Seriously though Kain or Vorador would wipe the floor with Dracula both are older and more powerful and are more true to what a vampire should be, Vorador more than Kain because Kain is on his quest to restore balance to nosgoth where as Vorador believe vampires to be dark gods whoes duty is to thin the herd plus he lives in a creepy mansion in a dark swamp/forest. The only reason Vorador met his end was because of mobius' staff had the effect to paralyze vampires but because of the paradox Kain and Raziel created he was able to be resurrected thus appearing in Blood Omen 2. Kain is also no longer effected by such weapons since he lost the heart of darkness. Both have done battle with "holy brotherhoods" and have outwitted them and out musceled them where Dracula seems to be defeated every time by such orders.

Here's a plot hole that I don't think anyone was mentioned yet.  In AoS, when Julius regains his memory, he says that he sealed the whip in the castle to weaken its spirit, but as Alucard says in SotN, the castle is a creature of chaos and changes with each incarnation.  In other words, the castle should be different from the way it was during the Demon Castle War in 1999.  Yet, in AoS, Julius says that he knows precisely where he put the whip.  So, how can that be if the castle is different from when the whip was sealed their?

And yes, I've performed some Thread Necromancy.

If only that were true, but you can't quit a life that you yourself, have willingly chosen.

This is another indication of IGA not thinking things through before implementing them. The man really needs to loosen his grip before the rest of castlevania slips through his fingers.
