#ok you see the thing missing in dmc 2 dante was his personality he was just 😐 <- like that

Potential hot takes incoming:
Ok but remember when people got overly dramatically mad about the V twist in dmc 5... like capcom didn't fucking make it but fucking obvious in like literally ALL of the trailers he was in??? They showed the SUMMONED CANES IN THE FUCKING TRAILER. It was just as secretive as Nero being Vergil's son with that obvious evidence being earliest shown in dmc 4. Like guys come on, capcom wasn't trying to hide shit πŸ§πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
Then there's the "V should have been his own character 🀬" crowd overly upset at Vergil for a "dumb plot twist" missing the entire point of dmc 5 being a wrap up for a story arc spanning over 4 games (not counting 2 bc Vergil wasn't mentioned at all in 2) Like I'm sorry if that makes one less fictional guy in your head for you to simp over - no kidding when the leaks happened and the plot twist revealed no kidding I saw more than five blogs say they given up the series completely over it and say they fucking hated the franchise forever because of it all because they felt their simping character had been completely taken away(?) or some shit it was fucking ridiculous 😭 - but both he's the whole fucking reason why Vergil's a redeemed character now: he's Vergil's humanity personified realizing all the fucked up shit he's done, acknowledging his own weaknesses, and taking accountability for it by going to the person he's had the most animosity with in the past who knows can fix all of his shit he caused: Dante. And I can write a whole god dammed essay about his interactions and relationship with Nero and how I'm 100% sure V thought Nero was Dante's son the entire game up to the point where it fucking dongs on Vergil's like:
"He's my son?"
*cuts to Nero bitch slapping Dante*
"Okay he's my son."
And I mean you can still see V as his own character in a way, I'm not saying you shouldn't (and I know of course there's the civil part of the crowd too but this is more about the hostile part) but it's important to acknowledge that he's also the bridge for Vergil's development we see at the end of 5 and as a lot of panels from the visions of V manga show us he still had quite the bit of Vergil's attributes more than people give him credit for.
Wow three years ago pre dmc 5 launch was fucking wild πŸ§πŸ»β€β™‚οΈanyway, I love V and Urizen's story and how they both built on to Vergil's already complex character and made it possible to put a chapter end to the sons of Sparda storyline :) I just hope if in dmc 6 if we get a new male character the fandom can thirst after we don't get toxic ass fans (bc especially in this fandom that's the last thing we need more of) like early pre launch dmc 5 ones did with V that don't go overly rabbid if he so happens to tie back to the Spardas in a similar way V did where they call the whole franchise dumb because it doesn't meet their standards because they own care about that one character they have the hots for and literally nothing else and harass anyone who calls them out (good dmc twitter memories πŸ₯²)
