Did he really self insert?

Yes.

what a massive faggot

The worst characters usually are just the author's self inserts

It depends if it's an honest self insert or a "does nothing wrong" self insert.
I will not elaborate further

yes, why do you think Dante suddenly smoked?

honestly looking back, it was such a baffling re-imagining of the DMC universe, in such a western, gauche way of doing it.

Dante in the canon setting, has probably dropped the F bomb like twice, ever, other characters do it all the time, but its not something he does, and he's consistent, along with many other consistencies to the character in the manga, games and the old 2007 anime.

all of it thrown out for this new character.

No, Capcom told them to make it big more different until they arrived at tameem

It looks a lot like him.
The video game is a bit skinner and has a longer face, but it still looks a lot like him. I can see it.

Even if you think it's flattering, it's nowhere NEAR as egregious as the average tranny's cartoon avatar of themselves

what's funny is he looked better here than the finished product which made him look like a shitty little pre teen in the face with that smug ass smile.

he at least looks like a grungy punk loser here, which was the intended look.

its still not "Dante", you can't reimagine such a fleshed out character as a completely different character and even different origin, different racial makeup (demon and angel now) and all the major characters being completely different as well (Sparda is now some bitchboy).

Dante is .. Dante, you can't do this and have it work.

Why do mexicans want to be white so much?

Fuck you.

I wonder how it be received if it was only said to be "inspired by DMC" instead, maybe dropping just the name altogether but still published by Capcom

impossible, its so obviously a shitty rip of DMC1 and 3, that it can't be avoided.

I mean, replace the name of a few character and it's less noticeable

well they went the other way, aggressive shit on the franchise, its fanbase, and their reaction.

its now one of the most hated games, immediately forgotten once DMCV came out to roaring applause and love.

oh how it must gaul Tameem.

ironically many DMC staff members liked that game. Itsuno even wanted to see a sequel

sure, on a technical level its fine if not simplistic.

they likely simply did not understand why we hated it because they dissociated from it so much because they make the "real" DMC anyways.

Wtf a jeet created DMC? I thought it was Japanese.

Dante in the canon setting, has probably dropped the F bomb like twice, ever, other characters do it all the time

I'm fairly certain there was no swearing in DMC pre-reboot. The first curse word in DMC's main timeline was Nero saying Fuck You in DMC5

I have much more respect for the DmC guys than the netflix show guys

yes, he really inserted into himself

Anime.
Something along the lines of

You're the one who looks tasty, you pudgy fuck.

I laughed my ass off. Hard to believe that anime is almost 20 years old now.

The correct classification is "power fantasy" and "trauma dump"

What's "trauma dump" as a character ?

he looked better here

No he doesn't, he looks like a fucking methhead, lol

nero flips the bird in 4 if you count that

Shinji Ikari

Never thought I'd ever feel the need to cut Tameem some slack. The Netflix adaptation was... is there even a word for it?

well Shinji is a good character, even if he's a big mess and Anno's half-self insert on his younger self, at least he brings something interesting

At least the reboot didn't shy away from saying "yes it's completely different" and fully embraced it, the netflix series feels like it's trying to pass itself as the real deal when it's something else, like some skinwalker pretending to be somebody else

yea Dante says it once and Lady says it once.

its that rare, which is good, its a sort of wholesome consistency you don't see in many properties.

and of course Nero says it once in DMCV as you say.

its half alright DMC, half god awful fucking allegory to the Mexican Border and American Military Industrial Complex Circia 2002.

like Dante himself acts.. about the part, and does what you expect, but everything else is wrong as fuck.

I even liked the White Rabbit guy as a villain, but the entire refugee angle is so unbelievably poorly done and on the nose that it makes me gag.

Tameme has a mini me now. Lord help us. Also both worked within Alex Garland, weirdly.

Hoon Lee would have made a great Arkham. Too bad he got stuck as the rabbit. Also the Netflix show makes Dante kind of stupid.

Dante is kinda stupid, well he was dumber as a young man.

Dante has always been more wisdom and empathy focused than intelligence and logic.

I don't know. Something about Netflix Dante not thinking he was part demon until later in the show was kind of dumb. Unless I am misremembering. Overall Dante itself was the least of that show's problems. It's everything else they royally fucked up.

I remember game journalists tim rogers and brandon sheffield spent more time talking about that characters hair than the actual game.

I think those are actual women. Not very attractive women, but women none the less

Alex Garland

yeah 28 years later must be shit
fucking normiefaggots who paid 20bulls to thunderbolts will gladly eat goyslop, they even liked it

At least DmC can be divorced from the franchise as its own thing and all thing considered it is a decent action game, the show actually pretends like it is an adaptation of the mainline games.

Itsuno's involvement in DMC started with having to try and unfuck someone else's shitty game and then turning it around completely into a good sequel, so that makes perfect sense for him. He probably sees it exactly like 2 considering.

The actual creator is blacklisted from Hollywood because he calls them feminist cunts to their face.

The left one is not.

How can it even pretend to be a adaptation when Lady's whole backstory is changed?

he calls them feminist cunts to their face

Kamiya after being forced to faced weirdos he can't block irl

How can it even pretend to be a adaptation when Lady's whole backstory is changed?

Because unlike DmC which clearly brands itself as a separate thing with its aesthetics the show uses the original games' look as a skin suit, then injects girlboss shit into the story, it's the usual Netshit tactic, they did it to Death Note when they made Misa into the mastermind and Light into a faggot, they did it to Cowboy Bebop when they turned Spike into an old fuck and made Faye hypercompetent and they did it to One Piece when they desexualized Nami and made half the cast into niggers, not even Winx was safe, they took a silly cartoon for little girls about pretty teens with magical powers and cute outfits and turned into Riverdale with buzzwords.

The word is dogshit.

many such cases

I noticed recently that Donte has been memed so much he's been pretty much mischaracterized for years and people STILL treat it as fact.
Everyone paints him like "DMC if it was written by vivziepop ohmaigawd hes so fucking cool" but he drops his jackassery not even half through the game.
There's also the all-stars Donte, but that one is mostly that way because he was supposed to be the OG until capcom forced the change so i dont think you can really count it. Still, he's a pretty normal dude there too.

I dont have anywhere i am going with this, i just thought this was a neat observation.

I enjoyed DmC (2013)

You are a fartslave

yes and the game was so shit he immediately shaved his head to distance himself from it

I kinda wish we got this Dante.
At least it feels like the half angel thing wouldn’t exist

the old 2007 anime.

He drops profanities and fuck left and right in Japanese dub.

Didn't the creator of expedition 33 self insert too?

Sad

Whenever I self insert into a story, I just prefer to be “That guy.”
The one who you kinda notice and then he just leaves

I will not elaborate further

Well your distinction doesn't make sense to me. What do you mean by honest? I know a lot of creators who self insert openly and aren't regarded as faggots for doing it (Well many are women, but still.)

Tameem won

You're based beyond belief.

Why is he a nigga now?
