** At the end of Mission 9 after Phineas tells Dante that he still has to discover his full potential, Dante tells him that he just wants to kill Mundus and his forces. Phineas responds by asking who's going to take his place after he dies, in what's intended to be both Foreshadowing and an ArmorPiercingQuestion. Then the game decides to cap it off by doing a little zoom-in on Dante with a dumb look on his face, [[https://youtu.be/I0hOwbRQQFA?si=2vHBLdHINS0Be9XV&t=519 leading to much hilarity.]]

Narms have to be attempts at dramatic/serious moments that end up unintentionally hilarious/cringeworthy. Removed entries don't seem like dramatic moments, and the commented out one is practically ZCE. Added new entry.


** Dante and Succubus' back-and-forth trashtalk, which devolves into playground-style exchanges.
** Vergil's screams of pain during gameplay can be hilarious, such as when he gets hit by a Ravager's chainsaw attack.
** Vergil's [[spoiler:attempt at a WhamLine near the end of the game comes off as being painfully obvious and unnecessary. Many found that Dante's response completely undercuts it as well.]]

* IKnewIt: Upon the reveal of Vergil, many fans theorized that he would also be a playable character. While [[WordOfGod Ninja Theory]] initially told everyone [[ExactWords they had no plans to put such content on the disc]], it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8SU9oQBWLo later announced]] that a [[PlayableEpilogue playable Vergil campaign]] would be [[DownloadableContent DLC]].

Evil Is Sexy has been dewicked.


* EvilIsSexy: Vergil looks a lot like his MrFanservice brother, and that attractiveness bleeds over even when he [[spoiler:turns villainous, or if he's [[TheScrappy generally considered pathetic]] because of his actions.]]

** ''[=DmC=]'' was initially announced as a {{Reboot}}. It didn't sit well with the classic continuity's fans, especially to those who were anticipating for a sequel to ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'', or feared that the original characters will never return. This opinion subsided over time as Capcom eventually [[FlipFlopOfGod changed their statement]] and called ''[=DmC=]'' as an AlternateContinuity, while a [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 true sequel]] to ''[=DMC4=]'' was released later on.

Per TRS.


* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: ''[=DmC=]'' features, among other things, soft drinks made out of giant monster puke, fighting ''inside'' TV broadcasts, and a living city that warps itself to try and kill you.

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: Kat seems to get thrown into the [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Keiko]] and [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Yuki]] club by the haters, utterly ignoring the fact that she endured similar torments like Dante but without his supernatural resilience, [[spoiler:successfully holds out under Mundus's torture to protect Dante and Vergil, then goes on to give them a detailed interior plan of the building she was held in after her rescue as well as specifics of how to get around security.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MemeticLoser: While his classic counterpart is seen as a MemeticBadass, this game's version of Vergil gets no such respect from fans due to being significantly weaker than Dante and being much more overt about his parental issues compared to the original Vergil.

* RonTheDeathEater: Dante gets this [[HeroWithBadPublicity In-Universe]] and out. Some critics, particularly those who dislike the reboot, took some of [[UnreliableNarrator Bob Barbas']] [[MaliciousSlander talking points]] about Dante being a "disgusting, degrading, and generally nauseating" person with "a history of physical violence and a known sexual deviant" [[MisaimedFandom at face value]]. This gets especially ridiculous when discussing the infamous scene wherein Dante taunts Mundus over the death of Mundus's baby. Dante's detractors argue that this makes him come across as a sociopath, conveniently ignoring Mundus's murder of Dante's mother, his condemning Dante's father to eternal torture and his repeated attempts to kill Dante throughout the game. Compared to Mundus's own trespasses against him, Dante's mocking the death of Mundus's baby[[note]]Which was Vergil's idea not Dante's and even then it was only to allow Vergil to sneak into Mundus's office and close the Hell Gate.[[/note]] is far more understandable if not justified than the cruelty Mundus displays.
