Red Vergil

Odd couple on a date (Kamikaze Girls movie frame redraw)

this party's getting cuhrazy!

I often see ppl think Dante doesn’t love/care about Nero when as far back as DMC4 this scene where he looks at Nero one last time fondly before leaving exists. He just thought he couldn’t be a part of Nero’s life because he thought it wouldn’t bring him happiness.

Ridin' 'round, foreign cars

Real hot girl sh!t

Making the whole theme of the DMC Netflix show that "demons are actually the victims of jingoistic American military imperialism" is such a fundamental antithesis of the entire beating heart of the Devil May Cry franchise. Honestly it's exactly what I expected from a cynical western production.

The Devil May Cry series is about how humanity is superior because humanity is capable of love. Demons may have power and strength which allows them to assert their will over the world and cause suffering. But humanity will always overcome, humanity is capable of more than demons ever will be. Because devils never cry. Only humanity has the capacity for love that allows them to feel sorrow at the loss of their loved ones. Only humanity has the drive to self sacrifice in the name of protecting those we cherish and value.

The reason Dante and Nero are the badasses that they are is because of their human genetics, not their demonic blood. Vergil loses because he tried rejecting his humanity and just embracing his demonic lineage in the name of striving for more power. Vergil loses his soul and is enslaved and humiliated because he pushes his only remaining family away, he forgot that the very reason he became obsessed with power is because he wanted to be able to protect Dante the way he couldn't on the day they lost their home. And Vergil is only redeemed when he is reclaimed by his son, and has familial love forced onto him whether he wanted it or not. The theme song of DMC5 is called LEGACY for a reason, because the ties that bind for better and for worse will always be a part of you. And it is the characters HUMANITY that makes that the case.

Family and love is the FOUNDATIONAL theme of the Devil May Cry series from the very beginning. This isn't even very depthful literary analysis, the games are incredibly blunt with these themes.

This is incredibly surface level reading. And yet somehow the creators of the Netflix show either didn't get it, or deliberately disregarded it. Either way, god awful show. If you enjoy it, you CANNOT say that you also enjoy the video games. They are mutually exclusive. What exactly do you like about the games, if you derive ANY enjoyment whatsoever from this show that uses the source material as toilet paper?

At least have the integrity to admit you just think the video games are stupid and the show is superior because it isn't a video game. At least then I could respect that. Don't try and pull this "I enjoy both" bullshit. Bullshit as in you're fucking lying.

Dante but he’s chilling

I drew this one a while back, it took me forrreeverrrr, but I can share it here finally

I spent a little bit of time looking for Dante’s car in the dmc anime and thanks to my friend who’s a car guy, he found one that’s remotely similar to the one in the anime the glorious Austin Healey 3000 Red

Let me tell yeah it was hell drawing the car so I high key traced a photo of it, to really understand where the fuck certain parts were supposed to go, I definitely used the photo too much but honestly I liked the background in it so I did a recreation of it. To the best of my ability.
