I am seeing from people who hate the netflix version of dmc going sparda is a r word in the show and like is their any difference between what he did in the game and the show, I mean they even show the tower from 3 in season 2 or are these people just trusting mundus version of events

there are a few differences between dmcn and the games in terms of the mechanics of how the worlds work. in the games, sparda sealed off several gates to hell (the temen-ni-gru, the hell gate in fortuna) rather than using his own sword to erect a "wall" like how dmcn presents it, but in terms of functionality it's basically the same thing. the only major change to sparda's character is the fact he wasn't there for the twins at all and didn't seem to pass off rebellion and yamato (?) to them? which I have mixed feelings about but anyways,

it's more accurate to say a lot of the context and worldbuilding has been altered rather than sparda himself. we definitely get a lot more input about how other characters feel about him (particularly wrabbit and now mundus in s2) that paint him more in a negative light to the audience and goes unchallenged within the narrative. I somewhat understand why people are miffed by this but at the same time when they act like sparda is this super well established character in the games I'm just??? no he isn't??? there's almost no information about him at all, and for that matter the dmc games have some of the most barebones worldbuilding ever. the scope of dmc is very narrow, and dmcn expands it for better or worse.

so at this point I'm just like whatever. I don't think it's some cardinal sin for dmcn to try and do something new or provide more nuance or perspective to sparda's actions, even in a negative light. this weird kpop stan mentality fandom has adopted where a story trying something different/not validating peoples preconceived notions is seen as "slandering my goats" is so profoundly uninteresting to me and i think people need to grow up lol

Here is a reminder that in DMC canon, enough portals and spontaneous passages exist for any low-level demon (who are still above most humans) to pass through if they truly want to leave the demon world. So no one was stuck over there aside from the uber powerful demons.

Dante escapes hell after dmc2 through these portals for example. Likes of Cid, Modeus, Baul etc leave hell that way too. Yes, the portals were rare but they do exist nonetheless.

Sparda never held a grudge or hated his kind. He left the gates tact for that reason. This is an insane emotional feat for the guy who couldn't even feel humanity or humane emotions before this.

We can accuse Sparda of naivety and overgenerosity. However we can never call him cruel or unfair. He did for the demons more than they deserved.

I need more wholesome Sparda fics in my life

That moment when you find a fic that’s exactly what you’ve been thinking about

Edit: I’ve finished the fic and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

One of my favourite headcannons for Sparda, is that after living in the human world, he began to adopt several human traits, which is great in and on itself.

But my favourite thing has to be that he ended up being like a easy crier. Something mildly sad happens? Crying. Celebrating something? Delighted tears. Laughing so hard he cannot stop? Definitely crying.

Also, when I say crying, I mean crying.

At the time of DMC4 development, Capcom was actually planning to make a Sparda game afterward before the plans fell through and we got the reboot instead.

So I believe those vagueness stuff in the novel were meant to be a tease for that.

Capcom where is my Sparda game? I want a Sparda game. Give me my Sparda game.
