Topic	Reminder: Castlevania is out on Netflix RIGHT NOW
MariaTaylor 07/08/17 12:35:22 PM #28:	It seems like Trevor should be working to redeem Dracula rather than destroy him, and it seems like we're supposed to be rooting for the Church to be destroyed... so is the Church supposed to be the ultimate antagonist in this series? And if so, why? Dracula should be. It's Castlevania, not r/atheism. It's going to be even more confusing as the series progresses because we know that Dracula should ultimately be vanquished, not redeemed. So the Church was right about him being an ultimate evil that cannot be trusted. But the Church is presented as being antagonistic. It just gives me a headache thinking of how poorly this logic loop was done. Episode 1: A fair set up plot. I'm surprised they dedicated so much effort to expanding Dracula's character, though. Episode 2-3: These ones sort of blend together for me. I can't remember exactly which events happen in which episode. This is where Trevor gets his development and the supporting cast is introduced. The supporting cast is not developed. Episode 4: Definitely the best part of the series. Exploring the catacombs is the coolest segment and the most visually impressive of probably all of the shots. The final confrontation with Alucard at the end gives us a really awesome battle (despite being very comic book-y in that the heroes need to fight each other to a draw the very first time they meet, a super tired trope) and at least a bit of backstory and a good introduction on Alucard's character. Because he is only just introduced he of course gets no development as well. If you want to watch a cool cartoon with some awesome action, gore, and a cool main character then yeah this is a good series. I will continue watching it for sure to see what happens next. If you're expecting anything on the level of like some of the best produced eastern and western cartoons in terms of story and directing... sadly, this falls short of the mark. I still enjoyed it, but I can definitely see a lot of missed potential here. 7/10 --- Embodiment of Scarlet Devil http://i.imgur.com/1KnydFa.jpg <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:882548045] in Reminder: ...
