Hey there, there's something I've realized when looking at most Devil May Cry fanfics. They always love to make the characters very overpowered at the start don't they? I am just genuinely confused on when they make it a Y/N story or most of them being either Son of Dante and so forth, they always make the characters overpowered at the start, while simply stating outright they got their weapons from their parent/got it off screen type of vibe. 
          	
          	I don't know if it is just me, or it just doesn't really sell it for me sometimes. While I am the type to enjoy strong characters, to me it should be right to give them a weakness. Sure, I can understand it is leaning more into the power fantasy, but it just doesn't feel entirely earned if that makes sense?
          	
          	I have mixed feelings about it, but feel free to tell me that I'm wrong if you want to, since to be honest, I just prefer to start a character off weak, then work them up into their best selves over time. If I ever write DMC fanfics, which I am still working on one now, I intend on working from the weakest point, then working up to the best point of the character. That is my opinion, that is all.

@PhoenixTMC I feel the same way. Which is why I want my version of Bbs to be very strong, but not overpowered.

@PhoenixTMC Well, we have an example in Nero. Sure, he was decently strong in 4. He still had to put a lot more effort into bigger enemies and very obviously didn't have the same experience as Dante, which is why Dante just kinda destroys him

As an update for the moment, I am planning this timeline of which stories I will be working on for the next couple of days to make things easier for me. It is Wednesday on my side at the moment, so I will go over which stories I am going to be working on for the time being:
          
          Devil May Cry: Legends - Today to 22 April.
          My Vigilante Hero Life! - 23 April to 29 April.
          
          I am taking week long writes to make sure chapters get done. At the beginning of next month, I will give the next list of stories I will be focusing on within the weeks that follows. So that is all!

I have heard now that Gawr Gura will be graduating, having been similar problems like Fauna and Mumei more or less. Honestly, I kind of expected it, mainly because of the amount of breaks she had along with how much slower her content had become as well.
          
          I will forever respect Gura for all the hard work she has done, along with how much she brought into the Vtubing Community. I only wish her the best as much as Mumei. That is all I have to say on the matter

Okay, I got around to watching the first season of Netflix's Devil May Cry. I do have some opinions and thoughts about it and I feel like talking about it. So spoiler warning ahead if you're still going to watch it, but I will give my opinions now.
          
          Adi Shankar went for the route where it is an alternate Universe, a story telling from his perspective on how he imagined Devil May Cry would go. Honestly, there are some good things he kept, and some questionable decisions he made. So over all, I won't compare and just see it as an alternate Universe where things are slightly altered and different over all. 
          
          I think they wrote Dante rather well. I enjoyed him as a character, as he felt like the Dante most people would recognize, while also to some degree, nerfing him to make things easier I suppose? I don't know why they nerfed him to some capacity, but I still enjoyed the moments where he shined. Even if it was the voice actor of Nero, I still enjoyed his character development, even if his history and character is slightly altered. 
          
          Lady is a bit confusing for me to be honest. She swears a lot, and is working for a made up organization within this fictional alternate Universe. I don't hate the decision made for it, though they kept her hating Demons to be good. Her parallel path to the main villain of the season was compelling in its own rights. Since this is a different Lady, I will see what they do with her in Season 2, since they confirmed there being a second season. Just lessen the amount of swearing, and I think her character is decent.
          
          The central antagonist throughout most of the first season, the White Rabbit. I enjoy his talk, insulting the typical American dreams, which I found hilarious since it gives that vibe. His motivations are reasonable and understandable. I think he was the best written character within the season honestly.
          
          Over all, even if I enjoyed it, I'll give it a solid 7 out of 10. Season 2 needs more Dante scenes. That's it from me.

@kirbydragon I guess the reason is because people like comparing to the source material and point out all the inaccuracies

For those who have watched it as well. Feel free to share your opinions here as well. I am not against people's opinions, I am just sharing my own and feel like talking about what people like and dislike about it.

@Raptorsquad79 I honestly, don't know too much about World of Warcraft to be honest. I only know the basics, so I can't give a direct answer.

Hey, do you remember those old cartoons moments where a character won't fall until they look down right? Well, in my world has that as well. But when people noticed that they are high in the air or are no longer touching the ground, they having thoughts like this.
          
          "Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down, don't look down."
          
          And when they do look down, always scream.
          
          "WHY DID I LOOK DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!?!?!?" or "I SHOULDN'T HAVE LOOK DOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!!!"
          
          What I'm trying to say is that scine my world often acts like in an anime and cartoon, it would take those logics way to seriously. Kinda like TAOWG (The Amazing World Of Gumball. I heard that they are getting a new season this year.)
          
          Also, great pfp. I was confused as to why you aren't in my followings, until I read your name.

@_red117 No problem. I can understand your world's logic. I honestly like it, it would be fun to explore

Hey, I've been wondering...what are your thoughts about Wildcat's anger percent?

PhoenixTMC

@_red117 I find it rather resourceful, and rather interesting. I feel like the Crew sometimes makes him angry on purpose just to get an edge against an enemy at times. Since it does make sense that Wildcat tends to get angry at his friends a lot at times, while also seemingly being loyal about their friendships. Over all, I really like the idea, and now it makes me think on how destructive he could be if he goes all out?
