- Thread starter Kalentan
- Start date
god damn it people
Damn people are already getting ruthless lol
I like how those who were killing Demon's were not going to get fucked over, while those who were fucking were literally going to get fucked over.
Re: the twins
I'm still not understanding their sudden heel turn. Way too fucking abrupt and out-of-character for them. Alucard wasn't training/powering them up quick enough so they... kill him? And rape him first? Nothing we were shown about either hinted they would ever roll like that.

I mean there was quite the signs that there was something suspicious about them. Constantly asking if the castle can be fixed, getting waaay too friendly too quickly, and general just weird behavior. Like they might not have intended to betray him (though the fact that they had those rings...) from the start but they had a really larger than life image of Alucard. A guy whose only actual human contact was his mother, Trevor and Sypha and so he doesn't really know how to act around other people and that made them get frustrated and start to think he's a fraud so better just off him and take the castle.
As Sypha noted in S2, he's a child/teen in an adults body since he aged fast.

Forgot to mention, that moment actually had me yelling at the TV screen.
Lenore is a straight up sociopath and what makes her even more chilling and vile than Carmilla is she literally thinks that she's doing Hector a favor.
Striga looks a lot like that guy from Samurai Shodown...Asura or something? I can't remember his name anymore.
Maybe its just me but can we say the stand out scene of the season wasn't an action one or some lore reference or dirty joke but the scene in episode 6 between Isaac and the "scholar" around the campfire? Maybe it was the series of events surrounding Isaac leading up that discussion or the the voice of the demon but something about that scene was so deeply haunting. Damn that scene gave me chills!
That scene. I don't think I could even imagine what was going through his head as he was hearing that.
Just finished. Rough season emotionally. Excited to see Isaac vs Hector & The Sisters in S4 and hopefully Sypha and Trevor reuniting with Alucard and breaking him out of his downward spiral.
Same here. I loved that scene. Sad that that demon didn't play a bigger role in the town battle.
If they're following the original lore then yes, those two are a couple at this point. Thats how it went in the original game after all. Thats why Trevor and Sypha's descendants are far more powerful vampire hunters since they can use some magic in combination with centuries of monster hunting tactics and techniques.
That scene and the scene between Isaac and the Captain both had excellent writing I thought.
I really like Isaac so I'm glad he got plenty of development and some great action scenes well.
Finished the season.
Really looking forward to
Kind of bummed it seems like we're stuck in this era. Want to see the other games adapted, especially Richter's saga and Symphony of the Night but I'm guessing its not going to happen since the showrunners seem to have grown too attached to the characters which is was what I was kind of afraid of happening.

Hector getting his revenge on the smug vampire sisters, especially Lenore and Carmilla.
Dude has been mindfucked by vampires enough.

This is my greatest worry and why the ending to S3 makes me so unenthusiastic
I've come to terms with it. I would be down for a 2 hour animated movie about Simon, maybe from a different creative team and something a bit different from the series in terms of tone, characterization and of course the monster slaying.
With all the monsters and vampires out there the way humans act in this series always feels kinda off to me.
Only way they can make it up to me is if they actually bring in Grant or Death next season.
*shakes Warren Ellis*
Why do you hate Danasty? He was a fucking pirate captain and a crazy lil man with a knife that climbed on walls, you love that weird oddball shit.
I hope Season 4 is the end of this chapter so desperately.
I can't in good faith equate Grant to Simon
I legit cannot tell if Lenore actually likes Hector or if the whole thing is a farce. If it's a farce then she is really good at manipulation. Her entire persona just screams secret sociopath.
Maybe they can Legend of Korra a series about Richter or another Belmont down the road.
Being a vampire almost mandates you be one, with the whole subsisting on human blood and what not.

And honestly, what's so frustrating to me is I don't even need another season with these plot threads. Like, I feel we could wrap this up with 2 more episodes.
That would be nice.
I wonder how the show is doing for Netflix. I'd like to think the series could have that sort of longevity but I worry.
I think it's both. She cares for Hector but not as a person. It was a farce that she made him think that she actually cared for him as an equal.
I would be satisfied with Simon, then Richter + Alucard. Anything less is a disappointment. I love how they're covering some niche things from Castlevania but to not cover the main Belmont that started it all in real life would kind of really suck. I wanna see those Medusa heads and marching up the Dracula stairs
Binged the whole season. Loved it and can't wait to see more.
I guess they never said they were but boy did the show lead me to think otherwise.
So apparently Sumi and Taka aren't twins or even siblings like some here were to believe.

I was sort of confused as to why people were calling them twins. Thought I missed something; I never got that impression.
About Taka and Sumi
I knew there was something weird going on when it became obvious they were obsessed with asking about the castle teleporting mechanism but didn't expect them to try to kill poor Alucard.
Felt abit out of nowhere at first but if the implication is that they were hiding their true motives from him, it make abit more sense. That and they were raised as slaves by a vampire, thats bound to leave you psychologically damaged.

I guess cuz they were always together as if they grew up together and weren't romantically involved. Usually that means their siblings.

Better to let it play it out then rush it just to move on. No one get's what they want when that happens.
It's just an incredibly sad situation all around. A situation made worse because on their journey since their escape apparently everyone they've met reinforced their perception of that simply is how the world works.
I felt the Alucard, Taka and Sumi storyline needed more screentime but otherwise loved the season.
The way Sypha uses her magic in this show just keeps on getting more creative and badass. The finale fight gave me chills.
It's a sprinkle of the former against a metric shitload of the latter.
Well, damn. The only upside for all the protags is that Vlad was not resurrected. Otherwise this all ended on a very very somber note for everyone except maybe Issac. Also, I'm glad nobody was home when watching the 9th episode. Still, all in all, a fantastic season.
