  • I’d argue both DMC and Castlevania has more depth than Duke.

    Def! I said that specifically.

    Of the two especially Castlevania offers much more depth & independence to it’s characters.

    Duke 1 & 2 didn’t even leave that much character impression on me as the 3(D) did (ok, nether did Keen tbh).

    Duke Nukem series will def be it’s own thing (like DMCs & Castlevanias), taking characters & the base premise & do its own thing. Same universe but unrelated to the games. Like comic books - the number of different ways Bruce’s parents get deaded is absurd :D (one time even due to Teen Titans actions).



  • Yes, but it’s a very good character & world/lore to build a story + the games themselves have a ton of situationally epic things in them to include or even build around them.
    (If Duke doesn’t shit up the throat of a decapitated alien we riot.)

    And tho there is more lore, it’s not like Castlevania and DMC are directly screen-playable, but they did a fairly good job (there are better showrunners in the genre, but I think Duky Nuky fits the chill & just barely enough complicated/just over the border of simplistic vibe of DMC show, and I’m sure won’t skip on epic cool shit, maybe even a decent joke or two … I dread the inevitably cringe oneliners).





  • Yeah, I too was perfectly fine with it (Omega as og Omega was “dead”/outside of influence after all, and this Omega was ever-existing outside of time with a lot of influence & in line with sessional arc about god magic) …

    … but generally speaking - if they even bothered to offer an explanation (which in this case they did, it was central to the plot), I feel like I should be happy/glad with the matter as in so many other cases (Doctor Who too, but I mean mostly other such universes) change previously known things significantly (just to “look cool” as the sole goal & noting else) & don’t offer anything in return, not even a background hint for an explanation.

    Just as a random btw:
    wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)

    In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.

    Tom Clancy also wrote about hijacking a Boeing & flying it into Congress.

    In previous such cases they advertised the scenarios via news & movies/TV shows in advance.

    Anything on the radar now?
    What are official sources showcasing as an easy target nowdays?

    Trains/railroad attack?
    Air traffic control attack?
    Congress attack so they can just disband it?
    Attack on protesters?
