@@josetomascamposrobledano4618 no, he didn't retire. He just came out and said he didn't retire. I'm not even sure where people got that rumor from.?
To clarify it’s not that Reuben wasn’t chosen. It’s that he chose not to voice act during the time of the shows making or for anything around that time due to Vaccine mandates. He is still voicing for roles of Dante now it’s just he chose not to around this shows making.
Reuben said in most recent interview that constant attacks from woke/cancel people led him decision to retire completely from acting. He did say he’s still be around and focused being more in a producer/management role.
He did say some transphobic stuff tho, I do agree with him saying humans couldn't compete with dante, which makes lodgical sense considering a normal human wouldn't compare to a half-demon. Praying on my last leg Capcom somehow get drew to play Dante again, or even Matthew.
And when u look at the hair it's quite different than it was when it was down but i feel like he could be nero but he wants to be like dante in the continue of dmc5 when the story takes place a year or two or this could be a story where vergil isn't in it yet
I would love nero to be the new DMC "Main protagonist" Theres not much to say about dante now , he resolve his trauma by being disconnected But nero faces his fear and all , i think he is the one to have the potential carry the most theme among them all
I would love that, too! The way the story has gone so far, Nero has so much potential to be something really great. I wouldn't mind seeing the brothers again at some point, but seeing as how Reuben Langdon is apparently done with acting it might be weird to see Dante with yet another voice actor - OddballEA (Elijah)
Ever heard deuteragonist? Dante can still be a main focus in term of gameplay just him alone, the plot doesn't have to be moving around him or "sons of sparda", despite that deuteragonist can still have a massive impact to the story because their actions and decisions. no need a sidekick like Nero become the main character again. All capcom need is hire a better and competent writer.
@@rockbottom-ml5hj i mean , dmc5 Nero was pretty cool tbh Plus. Protagonists does have some kind of lifespan , you cant get stories over and over with a same character, especially if there is not much. Gameplay wise , i would love to see a fully mature Nero , with maybe his own spémecial weapon (the Yamato ?)
That's what I'm saying! I thought we would see him in this trailer, but it might be too soon to show off a character that big. So maybe when we are closer to the release of the show - OddballEA (Elijah)
In the manga which takes place before dmc3 Dante didn't awaken to his devil trigger instead it was taking over him like how inuyasha reacted with his Yokai form and there was a mad Hatter a rabbit and a girl named Alice For the amulet I don't know but that explains the red eyes and he only has that issue after his first encounter with the quiphod tree that took place before dmc3 manga when he was making money to buy his shop Some of the enemies and settings look very similar to the manga and books So the reason is youth Since the bloodline of sparda makes them similar I wouldn't be surprised if Dante at one point sounded like nero Enzo from Bayonetta will be in it too
A cool reason would be if Nero was posing as Dante not to "fulfill his role," but to trick another dangerous demon or something. Though I doubt that's the case. Adi Shankar did ONE perfect adaptation of a character/series, to my knowledge, and that was The Punisher in "Dirty Laundry."
2:51 those aren't ebony and ivory, but then in one of the other scenes you showed, Rebellion was awakened, judging by the arms on the guard being opened and the pommel not being split. So I'm confused when this takes place.
I mean 20 years later Reuben no longer has a voice that would fit young Dante since he would sound old. And Johnny sounds great as a young character so why not
It's not Nero it's Dante people need to stop this bullshit that Nero is taking over Dante's spot for the series because just because Johnny is going to be voicing a young Dante doesn't mean that it's Nero and then on top of that a lot of people don't get that the only reason that Johnny is voicing Dante is due to the fact that the actual voice actor for Dante who was supposed to play Dante just retired from voice acting this year so that's why it even took a while for the show to get off the ground because they were looking for somebody that can voice younger Dante and I'm not going to lie I think Johnny is good enough I mean I understand there could be better voice actors that could take Johnny's place but that's the thing some of them might not just wanted to do that because they felt that they had their spotlight they had their time playing a lot of characters throughout the years and they just wanted to do with the fact that they would rather let somebody is a great voice actor and he has a big record of doing a lot of popular characters when it comes to voicing themmaybe this is just my opinion but people need to stop with this oh Nero's going to be taking over the show bulshit
I wouldnt take it too seriously or deeply like there is nothing wrong with starting something new fresh seperate from the originals, its own Dante story. I would be cool if ther was a reason but I doubt it, Johnny is an incredible voice actor. I do prefer him as Nero ngl bevaus eits so in line with Ichigo but it is what it is
The reason is because Reuben got cancelled for absolutely no reason at all other than he's a based guy. Obvious that this thing is going to be a woke nightmare especially since it's being produced by Netflix
Ha I click into this to hear your take on the Netflix DMC show. I end up hearing you list the two theories I posted on DevilNeverCry's analysis to the trailer 2 weeks back. The Nero is Dante theory and the alternate universe theory. Interested to see what ends up happening with the show
I'm very interested, too! I feel like the alternate universe is a given at this point. Considering Castlevania and Adi Shankar calls all his stuff the "Bootleg Universe" - OddballEA (Elijah)
I don't have a problem it's a different VA. Dante had different VA's in 1, 2, guest appearances, reboot. It's just Nero tho. I already know that someone out there would use ai voice morpher to make custom voiceover with young Reuben.
0:37 there's no such thing as a "main protagonist". "protagonist" already means "main character"; so "main protagonist" would be like saying "main main character"
Well, that's what Nero is. He is the main main character. You can word it differently if you like, such as primary protagonist or central protagonist. Semantics aside, there can be multiple protagonists, as there are in Devil May Cry. There are other protagonists in the series, but right now Nero is the one they focus on the most. Dante used to be the primary protagonist of the series, but now he is a secondary one. The story is still important from his point of view and does revolve around him somewhat, but the true focus is shifted to Nero's side of the story. - OddballEA (Elijah)
