Trevor asking for an actual priest & his comment on how that priest has a knife fir for a thief should be taken as proof that the priest that helped him out was most likely the only real priest in town.
The people he fought against were just thieves & bandits given power & authority by a corrupt authority figure to maintain control.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
x4 If it was just a matter of killing the things with a crucifix and some mistletoe I don't think it would be as big a deal, but the Belmonts are implied to delve in Dirty Business (At least in the eyes of the standard God fearing fifteenth century Christian) since they are said to deal in "Black Magic" to fight monsters. Which of course is grounds enough to excommunicate them.

By that logic, I'd say he does his job very well. It makes his Laser-Guided Karma all the more worth it. The Blue Fangs' "reason the priest sucks" speech was also badass, and understandably creepy when he got to the "we love you" part.

On that note, I finished season 1 yesterday. I think out of every TV or movie adaptation of a video game, this is very easily among the best, if not the best.

So...is anyone else kinda wishing they could rework Silent Hills as this kind of Netflix Original Series adaptation, or should we seriously just forget about it at this point?
I've never played any of the Castlevania video games, but as a Netflix addict, I decided to check out this cartoon.
I gotta say, this show's got nice visuals, though the story really needs to be more fleshed out. Its first season only has four half-hour episodes, and most of it (the second and third episodes especially) felt a bit too dragged out (for example, that overly long Bar Fight scene).

Two episodes in, really digging it so far.
That said, the dancing around the identity of the elder's granddaughter is nonsensical. I assume it's got to be Sylpha, but... why exactly are they hiding that fact from Trevor? And awkwardly referring to (I assume it's a she) as "them"? I mean, that's just... dumb.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Could be it's such a Crapsack World that they didn't want to risk Trevor being a creep who would take advantage of that knowledge. Or an awkward way of shoehorning in that mistranslation-induced
confusion.
Withholding that from the guy you A: Trust and B: Are sending to find her just reeks of nonsense.

The other two party members were male, so they just made one generic script applicable to all of them.
As far as I know there was nothing in either localization that went out of its way to obscure her gender otherwise.

From what I remember the Japanese never did that intentionally, it just used gender-neutral or no pronouns because it's that kind of language. English isn't, and thus ended up creating one due to Dub-Induced Plot Hole because of the above combined with the fact that the ending text does describe her as a "her".
The Sweet Polly Oliver disguise aspect may or may not have been Ascended Fanon because of the West. But the show going out of its way to make it ambiguous was awkward. It would've been easier to just say "they" meaning Sypha went down with a bunch of others and the head Speaker was upset because one of them was his "grandchild", or Trevor just concluded the person down there was family and he didn't elaborate with pronouns at all.
True, but while grammatically and situationally it makes sense, her grandfather would know the most of anyone that Sypha is a "she", so using "they" would have to be a conscious choice of his to deliberately be obtuse with Trevor.

Fear by the common people could be understandable, but when you have Catholic saints in canon being depicted as fighting monsters then it becomes questionable if it's really that justified.
