  • Very true. But it feels here like they where trying to activelly piss people off, or like be controversial with certain characterizations just so they can brag about it on social media. And besides while warren elis did a good job on the first two seasons, he got kinda like a meltdown on the third season by making its own version of game of thrones, shit on the favorite characters of people he didnt like, and make a lot of fetish shit, he became very childish in that one, making some unpopular conments about shit. luckily he was fiered due to people coming out about him being a predator, and the 4th seasson was kinda rescued from his madness, who knows what type of weird sexual bullshit he could have had at the end of the series.

    And i think something good could have been made in nocturne, it just symply feels like the only ones interested are the ones that wanted to piss people off and managed to take the leadership of the project, while everyone else was just making more castlevania.


  • The whole church thing was weird to me because they do portrait them like a bunch of blind dogmatic weirdoes, with the priest gaslighting himself into thinking that him spoilling himself with the spoilers its gods plan but at the same time it seems that they are gonna whant to reddem the priest in the future, because it seems he genuenly thought that god was gonna help him and send him a sacrificial lamb to sacrifice instead of spoiler and he does seem genuenly horrorized from what happened next. And not to mention the bara knight that i dont remember his name, being paired as olroxs love interest and not even aknowledging that the church does not aprove of that at all, like, hell, its impossible for him to not have an internall conflict at least for having sex outside of marriage, let allone homosexual relationships and with a vampire/demon! That sounds like a freaking awesome character conflict, specially with the priests bullshit going on, but like the french revolution setting, it was wasted (hopefully just for now) .

    Olrox was cool, him being wathever anything doesnt face me one way or the other, i think vampires being homo or bi or wathever is kinda naturall because they usually live for a long time and thend to become hedonistic and with the mentality of nothing is sacred, so i think thats kinda natural, but whe deffinetly needed more time with him on screen thought. Personally i think he is working for dracula one way or the other but who knows.

    With belmont it was more believable with trevor because he was constantly reminicing of when he was trained during his youth, him having extensive knowledge about night creatures and how to kill them, and the whole belmonth state made him even more believeable as a fallen hunter, like he wouldnt even be alive if it wasnt for his training and knowledge, but with richter its just feels convenient, like where did he even learned how to use the wip? They could have had this explained with Juste maybe teaching him but they made him a divorsed grandpa, or maybe if they showed richter not being as super skilled with the wip like he is, like if he was just a hunter in training and have juste suplement his training some time in the future, but no, he is already a profesional vampire hunter. Maybe im nitpickng on him but it does make me uncomfortable that fact.

    Maria is fine, ilke where they are going with her at the end, but her pasion for the revolution feels kinda random, they should hav gave her a motive like a friend of hers was killed by the aristocraths, or that she is friends wit some townspeople but they are bullied by the stablishment with impossible taxes, or that she and her mom are afected some way by the government which doesnt seem to be the case, since it seems they live kinda of grid? I dont know but they are definetly not villagers, hell it isnt even show that they work, like are they merchants? Does Tera makes potions and sells them? Are they maintained by the priest an dont work at all? I might be wrong and it might have been hinted at in the show but if that it the feel free to tell me otherwise. Like i just dont find the beliebable, they just exist and maria has no real reason as to why shes so pationate for revolution, at least show something lame like she whent to college and learned in a philosophy or ethics class about freedoom and now became an activist due to that.

    Bartlett does suck right now, shes just evil for the sake of it. Drolta was very nothing but her character design was annoying, not all of it, just her pink hair and some outfits they gave her, looks more like she came out from marvel or dc rather than castlevania but shes spoiler at the end, so i guess it doesnt really mather annymore i guess.

    Juste sucks now, i hope they use him in the future.

    The night creture thing is cool, but the singing was annoying and with how long it was it felt cringe unfortunately, like if they cut some time of it it wouldnt be as annoying.

    Annete sucks to me, im sorry, i made it very clear already and the writers intentions are very clear and not well meaning, they wanted to make a controversial character for twitter rants and they did.

    Other than that im glad you enyoyed it.

    I jus hope season 2 does better since its already confirmed.

    Edit:

    added the maria part.



  • True with Tera, and with the diferent direction they are taking it, the whole french revolution thing is very wasted imo, like i said, they dont interact with any of the villagers, in fact they seem very hermit like if we go about what we see in the series, they just go to the town to rally people like politicians in a political campaign… which now that i think about it its kind of hilarious, it kinda mirrors the stablishment that they are trying to fight aggainst.

    And personally i didnt like annete ( i think i made that a bit to clear, lol), besides of the reasons i already whrote, its because it feels the writers are trying to force her to like… happen, while taking away from the main characters and into her, not belmonth, i mean both maria and belmonth and even tera, shes litterally thrown out of another story into this one, and the reason being that the writers whant to piss people off so that it becomes controversial and people incluiding them can complain about it and defend it online (i.e. american culture war bs).

    Im hopeing that the character of both maria and richter will be expanded upon in the next season, thats if they give them enough time, i dont whant to say that i doubt it, but the intentions of the writers are not subtle at all in the first season, thats why everything else was so rushed. So if they whant to make a comeback the writers should go in with a different mentality, (i.e. hire diferent writers), otherwise we are gonna get more of the same.






  • ROFL on the show, even by that shows premise combined with the tittle sounds like it was gonna be awfull.

    And i didnt knew about the fact that there was an organization that was cracking down on celebrity endorsed NFT’s, that sounds like stepp into the right direction at least (it could be a clue on the fate of the of the Seth Green NFT show) . And if nothing else it makes it the only hillarious thing that would have came out of that show, besides dumb people getting scamed with blazed cats.

    And i have no idea about the whole rape thing, but sounds like its a whole other can of worms that sounds awfull and makes the both sound like bad people.

    Edit: i looked up some more on the cat show and it sounds like it could be kinda cute if the focus would be something other than stonner humor (Which i doubt), but the whole nft thing does make it a hard sell and unnecesarily makes it awfull just for that alone.

    Fine, but dont defend tyranical regimes. They are bad no mather who they say they read. They could could claim to be following the teachings of fucking Mr Roggers but if they have concentration camps then thats not utopic or very humanitarian in my opinion, specially if ther is some mad dictator in power with everything no matter how manny extra steps are in between.




  • Well they already made a max steel movie (the new one thats in white armor and its lame) and it was a very amateurly made superhero origin story bore of a movie. Its an annomally that has been lost to the sands of time and they rather everyone forget about it and while i havent watched it, i still remember it coming out since i grew up with the original max steel toy which was pretty much just sci fi tom crouises character from the mission imposible movies and i liked the toy very much when i was a kid. Would be nice if it was brought back at least in a similar manner from its original form, and if they make a movie about it then maybe not make it a tax dodging trashbag worthy of a boxing match with Uwe Bowll.

    Here is the imdb link

    The old one thats like ethan hunt from mission imposible was pretty cool, it even got a bunch of animated movies like the ones barbie goth back at early 2000s. Probably made by the same people, of course an advertising first but they kinda had a storyline going (until they didnt) and where all around entertaining short 1:30 max time movies, they even came with some toys and candy, i remember having a collection of a lot of them.

    Doesnt seem like they are making them anymore though, i searched in the mattel store and it doesnt list any buyable max steel products.

    And yes i am very nostalgic about the toy.

    Edit: it wasnt a polish movie, dont know were i got that from so i took it out, but the other stuff still stands. And yes i am very nostalgic about the toy.

  • I think it was intentional, like the undertone is that its all fucked in the end and both sides are wrong in their own way, and it tries to make you think about whatvyou just saw, specially after they make clear that barbie is unsatisfied about all stuff that happened and rather turn into a real person to maybe find meanning, and the gynecologist line is kinda like a middle finger to reality. The power fight betwen sexes while not pointless in a societal way, its rather unfulfilling in a personal level, like stuff doesnt really change as long as the angle is still in the fight of the sexes, and both sides are capable of the same shit while in power, and its more fault of the hierchical sistem in itself (capitalism) rather that if men or women are running it. But ofcourse its not gonna be upront about it since the barbie brand sells empowerement to women, not revolution, nd empowerment means perpetuating the status quo, just under new mannagement. In its self aware angle the movie kindda remminded me of deadpool, and while i like most of the humor, i get why some people wouldnt like it that much for that (besides the “ugh feminism” croud of dumbasses) the only scene where i think it was cringe was the one where they say “note to the filmakers margot robie cute blah blah blah”, it felt very tryhard. Or at least thats my take on it
