Okay 1st episode done and I was somehow still NOT prepared for how BAD this was gonna be.
First off
"This is NOT a matter of religion anymore, it's science." Actual line from the episode and I can already see Adi incessantly trying to scientifically explain shit that doesn't need to be explained. Like how demons and humans apparently have similar DNA due to common ancenstry, which is obviously to explain WHY they can have kids with each other, which DOESN'T need to be explained. You're overcomplicating it for no reason
You acknowledge that the existence of demons proves God's word as FACT but chalk up the religious elements to "different mythologies have the same stories for a reason". You write off the magic element to say "demons methodologies may SEEM medieval but they're understanding of Quantum mechanics is FAR beyond ours" to justify the world separating spell (done by Force Edge here) and the amulet key that will apparently break it.
Then we had the "political satire" scene which I cringed the whole fucking way through along with the crazed religious nut.
Also you mean to tell me that America would have this "DARKCOM" organization to deal with demon shit (which makes sense by the way, I don't have anything against the idea) but the fucking VATICAN wouldn't have any anti-demon defences at all?
Also a bunch of human guys with a net-gun are not subduing Lucia, much less torturing her without her devil triggering and flying her ass the fuck out of there. Unless she's not a demon here, which wouldn't make sense if she's still using her blades as her main weapons which was shown.
Also also, the Vice President (who runs Darkcom) ordered ALL Devil Hunters be brought to them, you had them capture Lucia (who should be on an island outside of American jurisdiction mind you) but not anybody from FORTUNA. The place that has a religious ORDER of demon hunters.
- Dante being surprised by a demon disguised as a human is not a thing (man can tell, play DMC4)
- Dante passing on jobs because he's "bored" is NOT a thing (if he takes a job, he sees it through)
- The White Rabbit has Vergil's amulet, that better not be Vergil being "possessed" already which they said was a thing strong demons do because they can't physically cross over.
That was thirty minutes and it felt like every other minute, i would have to stop to process something else stupid that happened. There's seven more fucking episodes of this shit.
