Awww cop lady got a promotion.

A worthy reward for selling her soul. [lol]

Also damn an official image already. Looks like it’s a chopped up release after all.

Yeah. Really disappointed in you, Lady.

Dante will be justified in putting your head through a wall when this is done.

Hell, he'll be justified in putting your head through a wall, even after you defect, and every day for the rest of your life.

I mean butchering White Rabbit's family probably earned her a visit to a firing squad given how heinous a war crime that is.

So unless this is some kind of misdirect, it looks like the shit at the end of season one only made her double down.

Yeah, I dont think this version of Lady is really salvageable for me anymore.

Dante owes her a good beating and probably some mental shattering.

Or will it be Vergil who does it?

Amusingly you can consider this a reversal of their game dynamic, where she's going to owe to him for the rest of her life.

This is a significant amount worse than game Dante wrecking game Lady's bike. Like vastly worse.

[up] Well she does do some extremally heinous stuff here, hell in any other story what she does in the season finale would qualify as a moral event horizon.

I get she's still in the middle of her character arc but she still winds up falling into the problem that law aligned characters like Suzaku from Code Geass suffer from who believe they can change the system from the inside so they come across as spineless dumbasses who vainly believe the horrible system is worth preserving out of some misguided belief that it has value.

It seems like they are setting her up for a What Have I Done. We only have a single picture of her wearing more Darkcom clothing. She's intending to stay with her organization.

I mean, that's how I'd be writing this. She's clearly not happy with what Evil Bruce Wayne is doing. She wasn't expecting them to start nuking the demon world.

Are we going to have characters like Lucia, Arius and Mundus play a bigger role in season 2?

After how smug, arrogant, and bitchy she was in Season One I'd love for whatever villainous demon comes next to just brutalize her to Break the Haughty.

If Dante doesn't do it himself.

Undoubtedly. Without gameplay they absolutely will provide some adaptation expansion, and using those characters provides familiarity for hardcore fans, and depth for new ones.

[up][up] I’m hoping Vergil just completely annihilates Darkcom to such a degree that they all go to Arius and sell their souls for demon power.

Just highlight what a gigantic hypocritical crock of shit VP Baines is.

Yeah. They're gonna have to really put in the work to undo the bad feelings from her actions in season 1.

And most of us aren't very forgiving, so it might not matter.

I figure the best way to do things is to have Dante decide he wants nothing to do with her. He won't even flirt or joke with her.

Lady MARY is gonna have to jump through a lot of hoops to earn back both Dante, Demonkind, and the fans trust.

In other words.....make her Endeavour.cool

Or not. Whatever.

At this point it might be easier for them to give the Lady role to Beryl, Nell Goldstein, Lucia, Trish or Kat.

Amazing how changes can radically alter a character.

Game Lady is a unaligned individual demon hunter with a vengeance on a particular individual which casts her as a lost soul in need of help.

Lady becoming a government agent changes her entire thing because now she's a member of an oppressive system and instead of a sympathetic individual she's someone else's rabid attack dog.

All things considered they should have just made Lady an OC. Her entire backstory is changed anyway so nothing would change much had they made her a different character altogether.

Well, them greatly altering characters is a thing they've done.

Making Sypha part of the speakers instead of working with the church.

Changing Isaac's nationality and making him less of a Depraved Homosexual stereotype.

Changing Annette's nationality as well, and....making her an actual character.

Altering Maria's personality from Silly Ass Magical Girl to Young (and very angry) revolutionary.

Some changes have worked, some have not.

Mary didn't work. I do wonder why they felt they needed a character like this, but I suppose Lady MARY is still undergoing her Character Development to bring her more in line with her game self.

But Shankar's work seems to like playing fast and extremely loose with the canon of whatever they adapt.

Most of those changes make the characters more complicated and sympathetic.

Lady's changes just makes her worse as a person.

While there is some comparison to Maria from Nocturne, she is still a freedom fighter on the side of good, she just gets goo overzealous. Even her worst act, murdering someone, was done to a turn-coat who sold out humanity and his own family to the vampire hordes.

Lady meanwhile murders a bunch of innocents and sells Dante out to the organization engaging in a US imperialism. While she isn't a completely horrible person, her attitude and actions make it hard.

The official music video for Evanescence's "Afterlife" just got released, and it apparently reveals some scenes for the next season? The vid shows a longer-haired Dante possibly testing out his signature Ebony & Ivory handguns.

Edit: I guess the quick takeaway is that... these scenes prove/confirm some post-Season 1 fan theories claiming Dante will be working for DARKCOM, and Lady will introduce him to Nell Goldstein, and Nell will eventually craft his Ebony & Ivory handguns (the latter is just like in the OG continuity).
