That's depressing. I know a Leon fan or two who are going to be crushed.

why? he's just corrupted, was anyone crushed when Richter was in his Evil Long Hair phase in SoTN?

people should be happy you get more of a character who got one games worth of screentime.

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING WITH JOAN'S POWER THE CONTROLS GET 500% SHITTIER AFTER GETTING IT

Because in Leon's case, his possession happened because he apparently had a retard moment? It's not like Richter or Soleil's possessions.

I ll be honest, the metaphysics for corrupting someone in this setting are fucking dubious at best, some ground rules could help.

Richter was a super powered man of God with 400 years of eugenics and magical blood and some guy named Shaft just OOOMPLAH and its done.

Come on, there's a difference between a mage having to focus and concentrate on a domination spell that can be dispelled by simply hitting him really hard, and total damnation and control of your soul by Satan's roommate. Shit ain't the same.

the difference is Leon is dead, so it might be easier to pull off.

that bitch is Red

This type of ambiguous, slightly unatural skin tone was pulled off in Hades 1. Hades’ cast should have been all White, but they made all the characters have these muddy and/or slightly unnatural colors as skin tones. They almost all look like mutt zombies. It’s a new, innovative and subversive way to race swap. In Hades 2 they dropped the mask, I wont go in details, but a chunk of the racially ambiguous characters in the first game are now undoubtedly race swapped. In the supposedly GREEK cast, only Demeter, Aphrodite, and Persephone pass/are White.

It’s the same shit here. Subversive race swapping. And dont get it twisted, the blerds will gatekeep you from cosplaying this rendition of Carmilla because she’s “black coded”.

And I admit I have a ulterior motive - I liked that as a Catholic, there existed a series that respected Catholicism and made it look like a force for good for once. To then take a series I liked (even on its own merits) and then use it to blasphemously attack Saints (Joan of Arc is apparently a boss) is too much for me.

Castlevania honoring God was on accident. (Fun fact, The Legend of Zelda is also a series that honored God accidentally) But even thought all the Christian symbolism in it was just for the aesthetics, we STILL weren't allowed to have that. Everything happening to the religious aspect of Castlevania has been destroyed and corrupted on purpose.

Tell yourself this, the Pharisees might have killed Castlevania, but the Word of God is eternal.
