Topic: Why did they take out Sonia from the series

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

I don't really have a problem with the Belmonts have a little 'supernatural' in them due to their nemeses.
I don't see why so many people do have a problem, either.  They are kinda super-human in what they can do, at times.

Even people not related to the Belmonts and/or Drac are doin' it, too. I just don't like the whole idea about Julius and Soma, for example, being technically brothers, or even further technically having a great-great-great-great(insert greatx15)-grand daddy/son relationship.

I dont think the Belmonts and Dracula should be related. It sort of kills the big rift between them. The Dark vs Holy thing.

Which is one of the main reasons I dislike LOS as a origin story.

Belmonts and Dracula should be completely seperated and should not be related.

Also, didn't Alucard kind of have this thing about "not wanting his cursed bloodline to continue," or some such? Why would he have a kid with anyone, then?

Case and point.

Where is it expressed that Trevor was the first to defeat Dracula?

I've seen the translated CVIII in-game story and it doesn't say that he is the first. It does mention that the Belmont family were vampire hunter for centuries.

[Puwexil]

Indeed.  Extreme opinions are very ugly...

I was talking 'bout asinine fan reactions to things like "canon issues" and championing characters who do more bad than good for the overarching storyline, like Sonia. Or conjecturing ludicrous scapegoat stories about Igarashi or whoever. It's so blasé. Whereas there's no harm in calling a terrible video game just that.

[DragonSlayr81]

Yup, cause IGA totally produced CVIII and that game was a product of his personal view of Castlevania.

IGA has a raging boner for CVIII, and wanted Trevor to be the first Belmont to kill Dracula. It makes Trevor look badass. Sonia, in his opinion, tried to steal Trev's glory, hence had to be wacked from the canon.

13th Century Alucard is not as mature as 18th Century Alucard.
That's like comparing something you did when you were 14 and saying 'you'd never do such a thing' when you're in your 40's.

And this whole thing with "I want my bloodlines separate" has been destroyed with LoS anyway.  Really, people are so uppity with their bloodlines being clean.  HITLERS!

Is it stated in game somewhere that Sonia's child was Alucard's......or is this just more fan speculation?

I think it was the secret ending to Legends. Not sure though, never beat that hellish game.

It pretty much HEAVILY implied.

Fact is that she was in love with Alucard and Alucard was in love with her. All of the sudden after the game we see her with a baby.

Its really as simple as putting 2 and 2 together.

I dunno, the whole "main hero is actually related to the villain" plot has been done so many times already, what's wrong with keeping it simple & having them be nothing more than longstanding rivals due to a falling out in the ancient past?

I like the idea of the Belmont family remaining the holiest in a world full of evil, not being tainted by vampire blood or anything else other than sheer will & Belmont Warlord Chromosomes.
