Castlevania Nocturne

I absolutely LOVED Castlevania the story of Dracula and Lisa and how within 5 minutes of that first episode i understood their love and Draculas pain. The structure of the original series was as an adventure and we the audience bonded with so many characters and it created Inner conflict for who we were rooting for. It was amazing and I re watch it and it just feels like a timeless story. So when I saw Nocturne I was excited until I got through the first 5 minutes. Watching Ritcher Belmont felt for a moment so promising until that OP fight between his mum and the vampire it was ridiculous and then it just got more silly In the next scene. The story telling is so messy and the characters in my opinion haven’t connected to the audience in the same way. Also the lore of the night creatures is that they exist under the will of the forge master and to have one which is “free” is INSANE and undermines the entire plot between Hector and Carmella and how she had to manipulate him to make an army loyal to her cause. Honestly I am so frustrated by this “free” night creature. I am only 4 episodes in and I’m already deeply fed up with it.
