Castlevania (Netflix series)

Yeah, Carmilla actually uses her F-Bombs really well; dipping into crude language when she's surprised or upset. It highlights her two-faced nature.

For the final scene of Season 2, I actually set this music to it:

(I refused to set it to I Am The Wind. Plus the CV 4 credits has a more bittersweet tone to it)

Is Alucard controlling his sword with telekinesis a reference to Donovan from Darkstalkers?

Or his sword familiar from SOTN.

I do hope the Sword Familiar shows up if they do SOTN. Alucard's sword was cool, but he loses it when he gets distracted. And more importantly, it doesn't yell out "SLASH!" and "SLICE!" Or "GATHER BROTHER SOUL BLADES!"

So yeah, finally wrapped up the series.

Camilla was a delightful Love to Hate character, even though (possibly rather because of) she accomplishes nothing and winds up helping the heroes rather than hurting them. Then again, the heroes teleporting the castle away probably helped her too, since she didn't seem to have an actual plan for dealing with Dracula himself. She's so close to being competent but such a Smug Snake that it's entertaining when she fails.

Isaac was great. Really enjoyed every scene with him. And his Sequel Hook at the end of the season was absolute gold.

I find it really odd how Castlevania itself was hit with a huge case of Adaptational Wimp. In the games, it's as much an enemy as Dracula himself. It's self-sufficient, impossible to destroy, and just wills itself into existence on a whim. In the show, it's completely mundane save for its teleporting engine, and it doesn't even have that now.

Dracula's revival could believably empower the castle as well if they go with this being the point where he becomes the avatar of Chaos.

Finally had time to watch Season 2. Found it a bit hit-and-miss in some places, but it still had a lot of great moments.

And episode 7 was fucking fantastic. Easily makes up any shortcomings as far as I'm concerned.

I could see Dracula's resurrections as a serial Came Back Wrong, further deteriorating his mind while also increasing his power.

It would definitely help to keep the series going, along with Isaac and Carmilla being their own villains.

According to this, Adi Shankar has plans to adapt other characters, even the lesser known ones.

Huh. He's got a pretty perfect attitude towards adapting it, which is not something I expected from the guy that gave us Power/Rangers.

Grant Danasty is still spinning in his mummified grave though.

If Alucard is staying with the castle that means the coveted third asshole slot on the team is filled. There's totally room for Grant

I'm hoping we see Saint Germain at some point.

Love his enthusiasm, looking forward to this being an endless thing.

Curious to see all the future Belmont’s & I should really get into the games.

"we're marrying emotionally engaging storytelling with the rich Castlevania world as we know it"

I hope he can maintain the former over multiple seasons. Castlevania itself killed the idea of resurrecting Dracula over and over again because it got stale and he never did anything interesting narratively, and after the way they decided to send him off this season they're going to have to do come up with A+ plots to make his constantly coming back feel like it really means anything but video game fan service.

Yeah, I’d rather they focus on Isaac and/or Carmilla as the upcoming main villains of the next season(s). Let Dracula have his dignity in death.

I assume that if Drac does come back it will be in the next generation to nemesis the next Belmont depending on if they don’t just use a new similarly powerful vampire.

On a related note, while I don’t know much about the Belmont’s I know Simon is the barbarian so I thought it be fun if he could physically match Drac in pure brute force blow for blow, punch for punch through nothing more than just being that hardcore.

I'm trying to think of which games could work if you removed Dracula from them. I think out of them, i'd definitely want Rondo of Blood/Symphony of the Night and Order of Ecclesia (Since Dracula requiring the Dominas Glyph to be rekilled is a big part of that game's plot). I also realise that they have to bring back Dracula at some point, since without that, no Soma. Who I think works best if Dracula has come back at least a few times, since that's where the drama of him becoming Dracula again lies.

If they ever get to the Sorrow games, i'm expecting them to make Mina out to be Lisa's reincarnation.

I don't care as long as I get more to see of Hector and Alucard. They are easily my favs.

Same here, I like Isaac, Sypha, and Trevor but Alucard and Hector are my favorites.

I just realized that the series with Dracula’s growing depression perfectly sets up the idea in future seasons of outside forces reviving him as a weapon, rather than him having agency to do things himself. Like Carmilla, Shaft, and Elizabeth Bathory (If this series somehow finds itself lasting up to Castlevania: Bloodlines) who all revive Dracula for their own ends. The guy that sadly says he’s killing his boy would never come back on his own.

I'm wondering if they might simply use the threat of him being revived, without it actually happening (or only happening for one scene before he's kicked back to the afterlife).

The latter is literally half the games in the series. (The aforementioned Bloodlines among them). It would actually be really easy to do.

We’re getting Castlevania: Curse of Darkness next season, that much seems to be a guarantee.

I am I kinda disappointed that Trevor lost his Killed Drac First cred... IE the thing Trevor is remembered for... Yeah Yeah he got the finishing blow but Drac himself had given up by that point

Though I suppose thats when Simon or Heaven hoping Richter show up The Idea of a single human defeating the Lord of Beasts won't be old by then... IE Simon does it with some difficultly... Richter just pretty much kicks his ass completely

If we get that far, big if. But Simon is gonna be hard to justify. Less so Richter who’s practically a shounen anime hero with the Item Crash.

Watch as they throw a complete curveball and we somehow end up going to the Morris family and Nathan Graves next.

Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia adaption with Soma Cruz somehow making a cameo?
