Do you think that DMC Netflix is in the safe zone of the adaptation?

In general basically, of course we can say that the story and source material was altered and being questionable. But do you think in general, that NETFLIX DMC is safe from the Hollywood nonsense like how Adi Shankar said in his interview?

Personally, I think it is not screwed. Is it the best adaptation? Maybe not, but is it cool and decent adaptation? I can say yes on that. But what do you guys think?

This is the first time in my life I felt so strongly about an opinion no one seems to agree on me with and I question if I have gone mad.

To clarify, I don't like the DMC anime. I think it's hot garbage. With that said, I still firmly believe that DMC2 is the entire landfill.

I genuinely don't understand people who try to convince others that the anime is somehow worse than DMC2. Am I crazy for thinking that, as bad as the DMC anime is, it's starting to become a little overhated? Like yeah, it's bad, but it's not DMC2 bad. Like even if the show sucked it was atleast a little entertaining as apposed to a game that has the most boring gameplay imaginable lumped in with a story that makes **ZERO SENSE EVEN IF YOU YOU COULD CALL IT ONE.**

I feel like a lot of this comes down to recency bias. The anime is much more recent, while DMC2 came out all the way back in 2003, so I think people are starting to forget just how awful that game actually was. I've even seen people seriously compare the reboot to DMC2, and I'm just like, bro... **AT LEAST THE REBOOTS GAMEPLAY DOSNT MAKE ME WANT TO CLAW MY FACE OFF**

**DMC2 is literally just spam the shoot button until the enemy dies.** That's not even an exaggeration. 😭

The anime might be Netflix slop, but DMC2 is on an entirely different level of awful. I feel like people need to go back and actually replay DMC2 before putting it above the anime or the reboot.

?

Dont know anything about the franchise. I just always listened to the dmc 3 theme song back when the game released.

Only watched the first episode and honestly thus far it looks very promising. Not a big fan of the Marvels/Disney type of dialoges this guy Dante has, but atleast all the killing and gore makes up for it.

Im however constantly reminded about all the shorts I watched prior to the series, where the consensus seemed to be that the series just isn't particularly good. Part of me feel demotivated investing time if I will probably be dissapointed lol
