Netflix Has Announced a Castlevania TV Show for 2017

I wanted to post this on /v/ but whatever

There were a couple amazing games for Nintendo DS like 10 years ago., that's all i really know.

Could be comfy, skimpy outfits and a nothin personelle bad guy is all I ask

None of the games in the series could make for anything but total cringe in live action

If it's not full CG or animated it will be fucking terrible

>>79233922
It doesn't matter now. The creators of the IP have left Konami long ago so it will be a shameless cashgrab that will pander to what is left of the Twilight audience.

I think lords of Shadow could make a good movie

>>79234889
that's a really funny way of spelling symphony of the night

I hope for simon but I know it'll be alucard for the "drama"

>>79234988
They're basically the same game except the later games improved the formula with more varied level design and better challenge. SOTN is probably the easiest game of the IP. It's still a great game.

what's that one boss with the giant rod and lightning that lives in hell? I remember on the harder difficulty he was real pain. I dunno I had more issues with him than any other boss in OoE

The giant egyptian mummy/anubis thing? I remember there being armor that would absorb lightning and heal you. You could stand there all day and he couldn't do a damn thing to you.

If nothing else, it'll be terrible enough to be good.
How the fuck do you translate Castlevania to another format, though? Is the whole thing going to be fight scenes advancing through assorted environments towards whatever the MC needs to kill to get something to get to somewhere else to kill something else and repeat the cycle?

Animated or live action?

Good luck making a whip look like a legit weapon assuming this is live action.

>>79240009
There's no way a whip will be anything but awful CGI in live action.

alucard played by idris elba

Is Konami officially more insane than we thought they were?

Fuck the Belmonts, make the show about Soma.

Base story on Conrad's Heart of Darkness and have a Belmont forge through the domains of the Castle and meeting with captives, prisoners and minions while fighting to maintain sanity and humanity because of the CURSE.
24 episodes at the most, keep it fluid with a beginning, middle and an end.
What I really wish for is something about the politics and dynamics of the struggle for control of the Ravenloft realm. Liches plotting against Vampires plotting against Werewolf pack plotting against medieval Hitler plotting against Mind Flayers etc.

I wish. Only comedy movies are allowed to do that.

Its probably going to be like xena, sword of truth. Every episode actions scenes against some skeleton no names followed by character drama and protaganists getting one step closer to their goal.

Why does Netflix always pander towards the faux nostalgia crowd? Why are they always playing it so fucking safe?

>>79241360
oh lord, I forgot about that.

such a shamefur dispray

>>79233922
I have no idea what its about, but I have always really liked the art. I would probably at least watch the first episode to see what its about.

Konami fucked off from video games and Castlevania is a dead series now. This is odd timing.

>>79242374
It's exaclty what it sounds like.
Dracula is evil, the Belmonts are good, hilarity ensues.

>>79241794
Why would I want a satirical Castlevania show? Sure make it a little tongue in cheek, its about a whip wielding meathead killing Dracula but what would it satire? Twilight? And "flip the vampire sub-genre on its head" How? Why? Just make a good show, don't try to be a smart ass about it.

>Inspired by the classic video game series, Castlevania is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert and Adi Shankar.

They're not mentioning a gender, which has me somewhat concerned. Though Shanoa was the best protag.

Soma being a girl is completely fair, I think, given the whole twist and the mechanics of said twist. It might catch more people off guard.

My lack of faith comes from the writer who thinks he's being subversive. Fags who talk like that always have one dimensional characters.

/v/ here. After Lords of Shadow and Pachinko I thought the series were dead for good. I thought it couldn't get any lower.
The guy describing it seems Intelligent, Nihilistic and with a Wicked Sense of Humor”. I'd rather have no other game/movie/show whatsoever about Castlevania. Let Dracula finally rest in peace.
But they already raped the lore to death with LoS so I don't know what else they can do.
I hope at least they grab material from the good Castlevanias only.

It's not even a question. You're contrarian if you say otherwise.

Can we talk about combining the Castlevania story line with vampire hunter D?

Alucard and D would be brothers, laying waste to hordes of Dracula's servants during the day, fucking all the new and old castlevania witches at night.

A refined dusk til dawn cinematic style with the plot written by Nolan. BOOM

>>79240899
>It takes place during the 1980s

Where the fuck did you get that from?

>>79246221
I hope we just get nothing and can let Castlevania die instead of suffer too, but it's a tv show. It's made for mass audiences. It's going to be so, so fucking bad. It's not even going to come close to the spirit of the series. Hell, it won't even come close to LoS.

>>79250907
The worst part is: If the show catches on with mass Edgelords, then the edgelords will direct the future of Castlevania. If another video game ever happens, it will be nothing more than a God of War clone at best, and... and probably based on the TV series. Oh god this is going to be shit.

>>79246221
You do know lords of shadow takes place in a separate timeline, right?

>>79251287
Not him, but it's really bad that it's in a separate timeline and they still managed to rape the lore to death.

>If another video game ever happens, it will be nothing more than a God of War clone at best
Anon ...

>>79251332
It's an alternate universe like how Marvel Comics does with it's characters. I don't see the problem here. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories was an alternate take, too, and no one was mad about that.

>>79251370
Oh I know, that essentially describes LoS.

I'm saying that we'll be lucky to get something like LoS again. It can only get worse from here.

>>79233922
I don't know why everyone's bitching. Who wants to watch a show about a guy whipping/slicing Dracula to death? This has been done a billion times with varying levels of success. I hope they do do something new with it, because the Dracula genre is worn out. I don't need to see live-action Dracula say that man is a miserable pile of secrets 20 years after the fact.

No one. That's the point. A Castlevania show has no right to be happening. Literally nobody wanted this. The Castlevania parts detract from a good/versatile show. The TV-show parts detract from what makes Castlevania good.
