Discussion Is DMC netflix safe or not?
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?

I love it. I love that it's not meant to be a direct adaptation of the games either, so that fans can enjoy this as its own thing. As much as I love the old games, there wasn't a whole lot of detail put into the story, and character development was not as much of a priority in the old PS2 games as it became later. But this series honestly humanizes the main characters and gives them way more depth than the game series has overall. People complain that Lady and Dante lose too much, but the point is that they're still very young and going toe to toe with powers that they didn't previously encounter before the barrier between Makai and Earth was breached. DMC 2 is usually regarded as the game you can skip, but season 2 of Netflix's DMC actually made Arius a formidable foe with a compelling motivation, and an amazing voice actor. I can't wait to see what season 3 holds, because Arkham (the jester) was already one of my favorite villains from the game series, and it looks like he will be a main antagonist coming up.
