Culmination of Warren Ellis career? by [Bad Signal] 10/29/2018, 9:22pm PDT
Ellis was both revolted, and made jealous, by the licensing machine. Big manifestos etc.

He lobbied to get some of his own comics & ideas developed... which I haven't kept up since then, but suspect they weren't successful if he's on a video game adaptation for Netflix...

There is only one episode worth watching. It's the second to last episode of season 2 where they have Trevor with the morningstar whip, Alucard with his sword, and Sypha with her ice platform take on a room full of vampires to a symphonic rendition of a classic Castlevania song.

As a drama it's half-assed because the characters are all 2 dimensional stereotypes. As an action show it's half-assed. And even as a collection of videogame fanservice it's half-assed. The heroes spend almost no time inside castlevania itself, barely any of the iconic rooms show up (there's a brief moment where trevor climbs on some gears) the monsters are all a bunch of giant were-bats, at best you might see one scene in an episode where Trevor throws an axe in an arcing trajectory and I guess I was supposed to come at the sight of it.

Bleh.
