A Bit Of A Rant Under The Cut Because I JUST Noticed This Parallel And I Feel. Not Very Good.

a bit of a rant under the cut because i JUST noticed this parallel and i feel. Not very good.

Ohhhhh. My God.

I just noticed this fucking parallel in music class last week and now I'm rocking back and forth, mentally breaking apart like that one stupid Stewie Griffin GIF. This one just confuses me as a whole.

Honestly, I've felt this way for a while, but I feel as if the team behind NFCV really wanted to adapt literally any other Castlevania game besides the one they were specifically supposed to adapt. I know that probably sounds really obvious, but at the same time, isn't that just proving my point?

The people behind NFCV clearly didn't care about Dracula's Curse. Alucard's outfit is from SOTN, Trevor's design as a whole is easily comparable to Judgement, and hell, they even used fucking Bloody Tears as one of the songs to put in this show! Bloody Tears, a song from Castlevania 2, in an adapation about Castlevania 3!

And now, this. A direct parallel to the cover of Castlevania 1. Well, this is obviously intentional, because how in the Allfather could this be a coincidence?

I could say that the showrunners were experiencing some nostalgia high or some shit and just decided to make everything in their adaptation about CV3 resemble CV1, but I know too damn well that the showrunners couldn't give a single crumb of wall meat about the game series they were adapting. Hell, Bloody Tears? In a CV3 adaptation? When CV3 has gems like Aquarius and Mad Forest? 'Tis beginning to feel less like they care about Castlevania so much, to the point that they'd dogpile any reference to the other games they can whilst still adapting the game they should have been adapting... and more like they just didn't bother to check which songs and references were from what games.

I mean, i'm not necessarily complaining. It's nice that they referenced a Castlevania game here, but all the while, couldn't they just... I don't know, maybe reference the one they were adapting? I guess it could be because CV1 is easily one of the most recognizable Classicvanias (I mean, it IS the game that started it all...), but couldn't they redraw the CV3 box art instead?

I mean, come ON! Look at this damn thing! It's awesome! All the characters get their seperate spotlights, the poses have diversity, and it just looks fucking cool.

Considering how well-known Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard are in NFCV as being the "main trio" or whatever, and considering how much pride the show takes in their rather poor attempt at the 'teamwork makes the dream work' genre, and just taking in the fact that Dracula's Curse is literally the epitome of Friendship Is Magic-ness, it would have been so much better to have a cover for Season 1 starring all the damned characters in it, besides Trevor and Dracula. Just, if your show is meant to have multiple protagonists, why not show it in a much more dynamic and effective way, that actually puts the game you're making a show out of into the spotlight?

also just never do my main man simon like that again okay? okay thank you

fun fact: yes

it's almost draculatober
