Netflix announces Castlevania miniseries

>>79284396

Name one good vidya miniseries.

Netflix shows are usually either really great or fucking terrible. They'll probably turn Castlevania into gay vampire shit.

>>79284457
So just business as usual since SoTN?

>>79284396
I'm the King of Cautiously Optimistic. That being said, this is probably going to be fucking sweet.

And! If it's fucking sweet, Konami might want to cash in on CastleVania video game rights and I can have new CastleVania games!

>>79284396
Isn't it gonna be animated?

>>79284881
yes

Along with the edgy crap the producers have been spouting my expectations are low

LOOKS LIKE MARROW IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!

>>79284396
Castlevania is a dead series. It has no audience anymore. Except a bunch of autists in their 30's from /vr/ who don't have any neet bux to spend on this trash.

>>79286206

There will always be an audience for gothic and vampires. This will probably easily draw in a ton of people who have never even heard of Castlevania,

Written by Warren Ellis. I'm sold.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE

>>79286571

I'm optimistically pessimistic.

He's involved here too. https://www.engadget.com/2017/02/08/castlevania-netflix-series/

It doesn't sound like it's going to go well.

I read something about it being a "parody on monster tropes" which leads me to belive it will either be an "action comedy" or just a downright "comedy".

Castlevania's plots have always been goofy, but part of the charm of them was that they always took themselves very seriously.

If Netflix shits out some eye-brow-raised Belmont who's dripping with parody and monster-culture references it'll bomb into infinity.

What I advice they do is make one season per game, and try to tell the Belmont bloodline's story as they try to kill Dracula but that motherfucker keeps coming back.

Later they can deal with the mess that is Soma and Alucard and all those guys, if the show hasn't bombed by then.

If they do it right, it CAN become gothic-kino. But based on what little is known I strongly doubt it.

>Netflix announces that they wasted money buying an IP that no one cares about for a franchise so generic no one could even accuse you of theft of you ripped it off

Smart move.

>>79287082
ok, now I'm hype. I'm glad he stuck it out 10 years down the road

>>79287149
I think stopping at SOTN would be the best choice.

With the way Netflix is doing lately, they're very likely to turn Belmont into a nigger. Yeah I can see the story revolving around DeMarcus Belmont.

Also this >>79284457 . The gay vampire trend is in full swing.

>>79286206
/vr/ is still miles better than /v/ will ever be

>>79284396
This played in my head when I read this. I hope they make it the theme song, bonus points for leaving it like it is, or using the Genesis theme.

They could easily do that. If anything SOTN could be some Spartacus-like side-season thing.

The problem is that Castlevania has always been a very gothic series, and the word "parody" coming up anywhere in the show's descriptions raises all sorts of red flags for me.

What this show needs is to go grimdark with almost overly dramatic characters and tons of organs playing renditions of in-game songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxHgrQSaXkg

>>79287149
It's gonna be based on Castlevania III. So Alucard is most likely gonna be in it.

Frederator studio does gothic:

This is what I'm expecting. . .

>>79287359
It was this for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzEeWzLQa7w

Will they show him break candles?

>>79287366
Well there's no way they're stopping at Rondo especially if they elaborate Richter's disappearance. I think SOTN would be a cool climax where the son of Dracula fights his father.

For the second time at least.

>>79287366
I don't think it will happen, they won't reference any source material beyond the name Castlevania and a few monsters like the skeleton or fishman and start something different so they can sell licensed games without parting with more cash.

Reminder it's the same producer from Dredd who's a straight edgelord

I miss how this series used to be until Order of Ecclesia. I love both Classicvania and Metroidvania, the new stuff just doesn't do it for me.

>tfw still no megaman cinematic universe

>>79290328
seriously? dredd was great. i trust him with the source material. who cares he's an edgy loser irl.

>>79290328
but dredd was actually breddy gud

This.

I can't wait for for evil white Nazi Dracula.

>>79286206

>I'm a millennial that didn't grow up with Castlevania in the 90's and 00's

>>79290838
Who's the gay one? Alucard? Trevor? Lecarde?

All of them?

>>79290864
>I'm loudly and proudly on the "effing millenials!" Facebook bandwagon

Kys

the netflix Voltron show is pretty entertaining

Not being done by the guy who made Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
What's the fucking point?

>>79290328

Shankar is great matte. Didn't you see his power ranger short film? the whole concept was so fucking good it preemptively ruined any chances for the actual movie of being good.

If we are gonna trust anyone with making real vampires make a come back it's gotta be this guy.
