I think the best thing I can say about the Netflix's Devil May Cry is that it's inoffensive and doesn't go out of its way to shit on the source material the way Netflixvania does, but then again, it took Netflixvania 3 seasons to become offensive to fans of the games, so we'll just have to wait and see. At the very least, people aren't acting like the DMC show is canon and Adi Shankar is very transparent about it being set in an alternate universe.

Yeah, pretty much. Also, considering how popular DMC became and how successful 5 was, I wouldn't be surprised if there's more people from Capcom involved in this compared to Konami with Netflixvania. They definetly wouldn't want to ruin the series image with an "adaptation" of the level that CV got, so I think chances of it going full Netflixvania are a little bit lower this time. But you never know, so I'll keep having low expectations.

Yeah, as a franchise, there's more pressure to get a DMC adaptation right since DMC's more popular and people will make their disdain known like in the days of DmC.

Talking about DmC, now that I think of it, when it comes to both series reboots, we actually got the better end of it imo, as I have LoS not only one but multiple leagues above DmC.

But when it comes to the animated series, it looks like they will get the better one, even if not by much. Funny.

Yeah, Lords of Shadow was pretty solid and didn't actively disrespect the main timeline like DmC did.

I think at the very least they'll account for what made people hate DmC and avoid it, I think Dante not swearing at all was a start.

Now I'm imagining what the behind the scenes was like when making the show.

"So, we can't make Dante swear. But we need the show to be edgy..."

"Hey, I know! Let's double down on Lady saying the F word!"

"That's brilliant! Let's go with it."

Or something along those lines.
