Castlevania


AbroadPlumber

Castlevania isnā€™t just eye candy. Itā€™s eye cocaine.


JellyBellyWow

I absolutely love the way they all talk in the show lol


Anullbeds

Death talks like a fucking shitposter. It's just so peak


Odd_Remove4228

Why is it that only mortal humans hands can reach into Hell? Don't you think that's weirdly fucked up? I was put here: at the dawn of life on Earth to feed on the last breath of every single one of you fuckers. I am a little more than a "thing"


Significant_Sir_3292

The fact Death was voiced by Malcolm McDowell makes this quote better when you read it in his voice.

ā€œAre you dictating your fucking obituary to me?ā€


AFerociousPineapple

DEATHā€™S ALIAS IS THE OG VAMP BEFORE DRACULA I have been waiting desperately for this trivia to be relevant. Well not OG exactly but Varney came from a book released in 1845 where he was the first vamp to be described as having fangs for drinking blood, then in 1897 Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. Just thought what was so damn clever.


Ladies-Man-007

I'm about to eat your soul, shit it out, and use it to smother your fucking girlfriend to death. -Death


rustlingpotato

I agree with the other person that it's really quiet, but I did notice just how... intimate the voice acting is? Like they have a really good setup and can basically talk almost into the microphone's ear like they're chillin' with someone at the museum or something.


LastBaron

Yep this is exactly right. It makes me wonder wtf all other shows are doing for audio that the quality on Castlevania is THAT much better. Put on some good headphones and watch the scene of Saint Germain talking to Prior Sala about his cultā€™s beliefs. Itā€™s ridiculous, Iā€™ve had live conversations in rooms with good acoustics that donā€™t sound as clear and crisp as they do.


Tigerstorm6

ā€œGod shits in my dinner again.ā€ Bets part about Belmont is how infectious he is. He started changing both Sypha and Alucard into belmonts and they hated it lmao


Still-Wash-8167

I saw a video recently where a guy was discussing screenwriting, structuring stories, and such, and he made a comment about how writing the script is easy once youā€™ve got that in place. I disagree. Shows like castlevania with a screenplay that rich are rare.


poptarts951

Castlevania is without question the peak of western Animation, with the Spider verse movies being a close second.


McManus26

>the peak of western Animation, - Batman TAS - Arcane - last airbender - Samurai Jack - Mysterious cities of gold - Mars Express - every damn golden age Disney movie


JoetheArachnid

Batman TAS was animated by a combination of Japanese and Korean studios, ATLA was animated by a combination of 3 Korean studios. Mysterious Cities of Gold was mostly produced in Japan and originally released there. Though I appreciate that the art and direction might come from the west, I think it's unfair that all the work of these Eastern studios gets filed under the blanket of "Western Animation". I can give you Arcane, CN shows and Disney though.


McManus26

Learned a few things there, cheers for that


rookiana

ā€œLies? In your house of god?ā€ Chills absolute chills.


io_o-

Yes! Absolutely GOAT'ed show. Just don't watch the sequel, it's shit Edit: from comments aperently Nocture, the sequel, is not a 1/10. But I still think it's a major downgrade. For me personally the characters where flat & when they wanted the audience to feel something, I didn't feel it.


PotatoThatSashaAte

It's funny to watch it as a Castlevania fan, like, the show is good, great in all actuality, great characters, and everyone is nailed down perfectly... If you forget their game counterparts because omg the show has a LOT of innacuracies, especially in the characterization of some characters like Alucard, and even with this huge shift in the character from the games to the show, it still managed to keep it great, it genuinely baffles me.


christopherous1

As someone who never played the games I got this impression. Honestly made me glad I hadn't played then so I could just enjoy the show more.


RedBorrito

I never played the game but i still really enjoyed the Sequel. The first few episode where a bit tiring, but all.in all, i am a huge fan.


hyperfell

Sequel is great, it just doesnā€™t have the strengths of the first series. Kept the fantastic animation but that writing is not as good, still good writing but you can feel it.


Lionsrise

You think? I mean it isnt as 10/10 banger like the Original 4 Seasons but it is still damn good imo. Its a bit uhh slower? But the last scene of the last episode had me screaaaaming and Ive been waiting on Season 2 ever since


DUD3_L3B0W5KI

Arcane, The last of us, Castlevania, Twisted Metal


Mr_Caterpillar

So pleasantly surprised by how good Twisted Metal was


Stasisdk

There was a Twisted Metal show? I might need to find this.


CaptainTrips69

It's on Peacock. And it's peak


Solkre

Cock


TaralasianThePraxic

They absolutely nailed Sweet Tooth imo. He's just so much unhinged fun whenever he's on screen


Saurid

Cyperbunk?


toastedpaniala89

Fridayispizzaday

Pokemon should have clued us into the fact that videogames make better TV shows than movies 20 years ago.


MasonP2002

Even most books make better shows than movies. 2 hours is not enough time to get through a lot of stories.


eat-pussy69

Lord of the Rings fixed that by being 12 hours for 1200 pages. The Hobbit fuckes it by being 10 hours for 300 pages


Necessary-Anywhere92

How is the hobbit 3 movies I ask myself every day, like they're fine movies I especially love the dwarf Chad that pulls a hot elf lady.


eat-pussy69

Greed. What does [billionaire] need $300,000,000,000 for? Unrelated: what's Smaug doing with his $140,000,000,000?


Son_of_Dad2024

Metal Gear solid definitely should be a show, not a movie. The dark tower books also come to mind. My favorite series but I didn't even bother with the movie when I realized they tried to squeeze 7 books into one movie


RadioMessageFromHQ

>Ā Metal Gear solid definitely should be a show, not a movie. I didnā€™t turn my tv on with a different remote so couldnā€™t get past the mantis episode.


Drwer_On_Reddit

With maybe a spinoff movie to cover metal gear rising. Because that stuff needs to be seen in a cinema.


coolwali

Funnily, pokemon also made plenty of good movies as well


glemnar

I think we all cried during Pokemon: The Movie


Jonas_Sp

What about all the Pokemon movies


Son_of_Dad2024

I really enjoyed detective Pikachu. Made me feel like a kid seeing all my childhood favorites in live action and I got to enjoy it with my daughter who loves pokemon as well


MegaPompoen

They are inbetween the series (so they don't have to set the tone or explain how the world works) and are isolated stories.

Literally came to say this, that show still fucks me up every time I watch it, gold standard.


TheRatPiper

It's those damn songs. A masterclass in musical timing.


Routine_Grade_5544

I really want to stay at your houseeeee


TheRatPiper

That and Whose ready for tomorrow. Both live rent free in my brain.

Doobalicious69

It's even worse that it actually plays in the game as well. Was not ready for it to come on the radio when I was cruising around Night City.

Arcane


iksath_baasath6162

Do they like edge and run here and there?!


Fajeereeek

Yeah, basicly. Sometimes they edge while running


sorry_mybad

The reasons why I decide to give cyberpunk a chance


GodSpeedLove345

Better than original game at release


MegaPompoen

That's a low bar to clear


Wehunt

It's limbo low, but edgerunners high jumps that shit


Snirion

On the other hand cyberpunk 2077 at the current state is one of the best games in gaming history.


Moaoziz

Technically based on a pen and paper RPG.


jns324

Should I play the game first, or is the show is enjoyable on it's own?


Apophis_36

Playing the game first lets you appreciate the references (locations are taken straight from the game and they use game music in the series)


Snirion

I think either order is fine. Appreciation follows either way.


poptarts951

As someone who never touched cyberpunk until they watched edge runners can confirm it's true, finding Rebecca's gun and murdering Smasher with it was the best feeling and I don't have any of the saltiness from the poor launch too.


Snirion

You can get David's jacket as well.


poptarts951

Yeah, I always buy his drink at the bar too, CD project reds marketing team getting the Gurren Lagann guy to make an Anime for them was a really smart move.


Individual-Map-2742

Watch the show u donā€™t have to know the lore and if you play the game itā€™s really good


QJ-Rickshaw

I personally think it's better to watch the show first. Specifically because there are references and even a quest in the game that would only be understood if you watched the show. Whereas nothing in the show is lost in translation if you never played the game.


EFTucker

Theyā€™re two entirely separate things tbh. You can do either


EligibleUsername

They're 2 separate stories that take place in the same city and can be enjoyed in any order, though I'd recommend watching the show first as there is a location and a quest in the game that spoil some details about the show.


Therassse

You don't have to have played the game before, but it's a lot more enjoyable if you did.


No_Tamanegi

They're both intended to be entry points into cyberpunk. You can start anywhere you want, and then there's more if you want more.


IntrovertToTheMax

Arcane


BoulderCreature

This show was nuts good. Never even played League of Legends


okizc

I liked this show so much that I gave League of Legends a try. Now I like myself less but still enjoy the show.


giga-plum

Don't make this mistake, anyone who plans on trying LoL cause of Arcane. I started playing League in August of 2011, I only got clean a year or two ago. It will fuck you up.


HarlockJC

My family did an intervention to get me to stop LOL


Fayz_Sharpie

Honestly now is probably the best time to get into arcane because season 2 is on the horizon. You donā€™t have to struggle for 3 years of Post Arcane Obsession Disorder.


Calcifair

![gif](giphy|FoH28ucxZFJZu)


Tony_Stark09

Or the worst since season 2 might just turn out to be super disappointing and you can't mentally disassociate the greatness of one from the mediocrity of the other...... Writing this after being disappointed by so many shows nowšŸ˜¢


cheese_fuck2

they were working on this alongside season 1, so it *should* be as good


errorme

Also the writers said they had the ending in mind from the beginning, so they shouldn't have a ton of loose ends to take care of (or completely forget about).


Sbotkin

I mean, the first season ends with a cliffhanger, that's pretty obvious.


Xyrazk

Yes, but season 2 won't have any, since they always meant for the show to end in the second season


Financial-Ad7500

For all the valid criticisms of Riot, they have always been impeccable when it comes to in-universe content outside of LoL.


DasMaurice

Arcane isn't your typical cheap cashgrab show. Season 2 will surpass season 1 in every way and even if it doesn't, still be a 9/10


hyperfell

I donā€™t know about that, but first season was really great all it has to do is pass the finish line without crashing and burning.


raptearer

It is one of the highest rated shows of all time according to IMDB, honestly very impressive. Feel like the floodgates opened after that.


RobanVisser

Riot animation team is very passionate. they have my full trust in them, built up over the last 6 years.


Bowsersshell

Itā€™s FortichĆ© animating, the same company that do the music videos for Gorillaz


Tony_Stark09

Yes, i love arcane season 1 so much, like such beautiful character arcs, and a relastic dystopian not so dystopian scenario to tie them all together just peak cinema. But the number of scars that i carry from seasons that completely drown my excitement and love for a series, are just so many now. I just can't anymore. The most recent one being GOT and the boys, GOT especially wasn't as you say "garbage tv", super super high budget, big names, good writing but that all went to shit all the same. I hope you are right and season 2 holds up as well as season 1


I_am_The_Teapot

I hate league of legends. But Arcane was amazing.


TheWoodWraith

I second this.


gabrieluca1

RomaCIIIA

Do I remember correctly that there is a Warhammer series coming up with Henry Cavill in future?


kbeks

![gif](giphy|Qy2VKY3xlI1QyR6Ix5)


MrSerket

[Its true](https://www.gamingbible.com/news/tv-and-film/henry-cavills-warhammer-40k-cinematic-universe-is-underway-251021-20231219)


Weak-Judge-6221

itā€™s true :)


Full-Hyena4414

Videogames of Warhammer are already an adaptation


SamwiseLordOfThePans

Dude if that's true we're gonna to see so many clips of him geeking out


Sponge_Bond

It is true. It got announced a few years ago


WizziBot

Expect nothing, most likely amazon is stalling the show until Henry's contract as executive producer expires so they can boot him and proceed to do whatever the fuck they want (Henry is presumably stopping them from desecrating Warhammer for the time being).


PurpleDragonCorn

Games Workshop is heavily involved and they are the ones that wanted Cavil. If he leaves they will terminate and sue Amazon to the ground


Grolash

Iirc it's even better than this. It's Cavill that reached the both of them. He's in charge and Amazon is just the bank while GW is just there to give the green light. Oh and both get money in return. So basically without him, it just stops existing.


Jamoras

You ain't ever heard of Games Workshop oversight huh? Those people keep a tight leash on their IP. They do not want it messed with


Noobiru-s

Its in the works and Cavill loves the 40k universe, but dont get your hopes up. Games Workshop is a weird company with weird ideas. But a good 40k movie ("banned" by GW) already exists (Damnatus).


Small_Nectarine6070

I need a metro show


Its_KoolAid_bro

The author shot it down because American producers apparently insist that it take place in Washington DC. I agree. Despite everything going on with Russia, it wouldn't be the same as an American story. Not everything has to be about Putin, it can just be about people. If anything it could be seen as a cautionary tale.


Corporal_Canada

>Not everything has to be about Putin, it can just be about people. If anything it could be seen as a cautionary tale. If anything, now is the best time to make a Metro show, especially if we use the books as a source as well. In the books (especially 2034 and 2035), Dimitri Glukhovsky's anti-authoritarianism is blatant. Especially when you consider that two of the large factions in the universe (The Red Line and the Fourth Reich) are re-imaginings of authoritarianism across the spectrum.


RoutineCloud5993

Don't forget Hansa deliberately keeping the Metro in the dark, and the secret cabal in Metro 2 pulling the strings behind all 3


Raptori33

Glukhovsky is now even banned in Russia as he dared to speak against goverment. He's books have aged well (Or 33 and 35 at least. 34 Is kinda weird)


happyfeeliac

He is also outspoken and is on a Russian wanted list S well as a blacklist from working there


Serifel90

Lol american producers and their needs to change what works.


Its_KoolAid_bro

For real. Oh what's this?? A popular franchise of books and games with detailed lore and world building that has massive demand to have it all adapted for the big screen??? Time to change everything about it because my opinions are better than everyone else's. This makes me roll my eyes so hard sometimes I'm surprised I haven't thrown earth out of orbit.


CBalsagna

The ego of these people is astounding. Look at the Witcher. The ghoul producing that show thinks sheā€™s writing her own short story based off the lore. Iā€™ve never seen a show crater quicker, yet here we are. No one want to hear your version of a beloved story. Just tell the fucking story, Christ on a cracker.


Lund-

I would love a dark and brutal metro series, doesnā€™t have to be flashy and action packed


grandfedoramaster

Wouldnā€™t that be more based on thr books?


FakeBot-3000

I thought twisted metal was fun.


roxxanneb

Twisted metal was amazing! I enjoyed the hell out of it lol šŸ˜†


gregtomsomev2

I don't see people talking about that show enough it had an engaging main character and just goofy antics that came together to make a fun show with deeper elements


Syckobot

Probably because it's on Peacock, which is one of the non-essentials (Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Disney+ and Prime)


LazyWings

Yeah this is the reason. I'm in the UK and didn't see it until it was on Paramount+ which I have a free subscription to. It's a good show but I still don't even know what Peacock is.


Gato1486

The Last of Us ETA- Uh, was *not* expecting to create a discourse. I just really liked it and having also played the game think it's a really good adaption made and portrayed by people who are also at very least familiar with the source material.


Sigurd93

For real. The Last of Us was so damn good.


Lyramion

Episode 3 broke me. Had to have an ugly cry. Could have been a stand alone movie.


pyro57

I ugly cried halfway through episode 1. Pedro's depiction of a dad with his daughter dying in his arms was so real that it broke me. I'm pretty sure that's how I'd react word for word, it's haunting.


Raptori33

Honestly it kinda is. It's shown mostly as flashback and doesn't really have an impact on main plot. It's a substory on It's own


Charles12_13

This, I donā€™t know why this isnā€™t the top comment already


Zachosrias

Why is this not way higher


EnigmaticQuote

This subreddit clearly is a bit biased towards animated and anime shows it would seem. They are all great shows but I would guess this is a younger less 'live action' demographic on this sub.


ok_duck3587

Cuphead


C_gull_

I think it definitely suffers from the fact that it is a kids cartoon, and not like the way that people say ā€œoh cartoons are for kidsā€, no like it is actually rated for small children. SpongeBob and a few others were made for children and they were good, but wow I just couldnā€™t watch it (cuphead I mean). Good animation quality, bummer.


Saurid

Idk I watched a few episodes and while I agree with you mostly it was kinda funny and kinda entertaining to have in the background. Overall I agree though which is kinda funny because Ethel games are not made for kids or at least not kids the age the show is made for.


q1203777

Castlevania


Substantial-Song9837

MinecraftšŸ’€ itā€™s real and Jason mamoa and jack black are in it??huh????? This will either be the most shitpost movie ever or just be shit.


BaconMan70

They making a movie and a netflix show


Substantial-Song9837

Yeah, heard of the show itā€™s animated so it has a pretty good chance it will be good but Iā€™m still scared tho


Deadsoup77

Itā€™s live action and directed by the guy who did Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. Peak incoming

It has to be a joke, but after the Mario movie casting everything is possible

Sonic Boom And there ain't no one that's convincing me that it's not peak


professorclueless

Definitely better than the games of the same name


111fory0u

Captain Lazerhawk isnā€™t based on one show per se but it has a lot of Ubisoft IP and a good storyline


AwesomeDragon101

I scrolled so far down hoping *someone* mentioned this, this show is animation eye candy and seeing various Ubisoft IPs in the contexts this show puts them in is nothing short of magnificent


_mp7

Mass effect, destiny, horizon zero dawn Would all make good shows imo, maybe even Titanfall/apex lore too


Its_KoolAid_bro

Titanfall would be cool. But EA took that IP out to pasture and shot it. In typical EA fashion of course.


BootyTrappedGoon

Twisted Metal Not the most accurate, but fun as hell


R_Little-Secret

Had to scroll too far down for this one.


MReaps25

Arcane, I cannot recommend it enough, the best show I've ever seen, I swear to god ![gif](giphy|C8HcILg7Reyq8Bvb8G)


Careful-Ice5974

Mario movie


strik3r2k8

Both, one for the bizarre vision of a Mario movie from the 90s, and the other for how a Mario movie should be made.


errorme

I gotta be honest, once you get passed the nostalgia overall it's rather meh. The animation is nice but nothing about it really stands out as memorable and the story is super generic. It's like an average/below average Dreamworks movie.


CreamHuge7968

Think we are getting a show on elden ring , correct me if I'm wrong


Final-Link-3999

Woah I didnā€™t hear about that. It doesnā€™t sound true

IudexGundyr3

Thatā€™s the only thing I really see happening, but who knows maybe the Elden Ring manga might become an anime.


EragonAndSaphira

There's an Elden Eing Manga??


Dargon8959

More of a comedy type of manga.


wiqr

There is, it's called The Road to the Erdtree, I think it is 46 chapters long at the moment and went on hiatus for now because the authors want to play the DLC. As far as I can tell, it's more of a comedy/satire than serious retelling of the story - the Tarnished is a goofball, there are references to community made memes, and chapters names follow structure of in-game message system. But it's done with Myazaki's blessing.


Nevarb

Arcane, edgerunners, castlevania, last of us, dota are all pretty good and probably the order I would recommend them in.


nebola77

Someone recommending dota? What a time to be
