Netflix Devil May Cry 2 Season 2, 1 minute review
Imma do a quick review as a HUGE DMC fan, played all 6 games and after watching season 2 today, here’s my quick review
Pros:
Vergil is awesome
Music is Fire
Animation is (mostly) great
Both Villains were entertaining
Fighting was really good (especially all dante vs vergil fights)
Lady is a WAAAAAAAYYYY more likeable character than season 1
Cons
Dante is the biggest con of the series, he’s almost completely useless and lacks agency (just like in the first season) ,he’s like invincible, never wins a fight, but at least marks journey is endearing, here we come from games where he is the most OP mf there is, to him being a total weakling, only styling against mobs and not a single character
Arius is hard to take seriously , and this isn’t entirely the serie’s fault, its bcs he was a joke in DMC 2 the game, so from that to him being extremely intelligent, competent and powerful, is a tough but manageable task.
the episode’s 5 and 6 feel rather weak compared to the rest of episodes, 1 is ok, 2 is good 3 is awesome, 4 is very good, 5-6 were uninteresting, 7 was good and 8 was also good, which leads me to another complain
The show peaked early, episode 2 and 3 were so good that everything after it felt like either a big or small downgrade
Overall 7-8/10 of course subject to change as we see how it ages.
