What am I supposed to believe here? Alucard would have jumped in bed with Trevor and Sypha if they let him? Is that what those dolls are for?
Fuck's sake, maybe I'm not a prude. Maybe I just want Castlevania and porn separate. It was just enough to be too much. I think this kind of stuff panders to the lowest denominator.
Honestly, the older I get the more tired I am of sex appeal practically being the forefront of people's engagement in entertainment. Seems like all people care about is who is fucking who, or who they want to see fuck who. It's mentally exhausting. You know what's pretty neat? Magic. Sypha does that.
This is not the same complaint as covering up statues in Castlevania IV, bloody hell.
My complaint with this though doesn't even crack the surface by comparison in terms of the Netflix show's terrible pacing/plot twists.
I know Alucard is a little brooding, but he's not this much of a bitch. Being in the same show as Hector doesn't make it look any better.
That end fight of S2 can't carry the entire show. For the most part it's just... garbage. It tries so hard to be gritty I can't tell if it's actually a dark comedy and I'm not in on the joke.

If I didn't know any better I'd think these scripts were written by some kid from a gated community who had to go to Sunday school all the way up until he got out of high school and just got his first pc.
What really grinds my gears though is that this show is the face of Castlevania as far as the rest of the world is concerned. I can't really brush it off as a side-thing.
There are things to like, but they're just too far and few between.
To think I once thought Curse of Darkness was making things weird with Isaac.
Can you ever forgive me, CoD?
Isn't it kind of strange though, that Isaac of all characters isn't... portrayed in any sexual manner in this show? Why the hell not? Am I missing the point? Is it just opposite day?
Also, Isaac, the reason people don't like your stupid ass is because you're rolling into town with hellbeasts animated from the corpses of people that were presumably somebody's relatives.
The philosophy in this is almost as bad as the Legacy of Kain series. "Duh, humans are just as bad." Like, guys, I don't know how to tell you this but at the end of the day you're still monsters.
Everybody sucks, but that doesn't make you "woke."
