No caso da Lisa entregamos a informação como ela é EXATAMENTE igual dentro do enredo: Ela é morta pelo povo sobre o qual o Drácula reinava, por rumores de bruxaria. Não foi a igreja que matou, foi o povo. Graças a rumores iniciados por vampiros. E a pessoa entende "ah tá então a culpa é da igreja"

Trevor Belmont sprite remake. I don't ever hope to compete with Fake Trevor, but I still wanted to give it a go. Sprite based on his 8-bit sprite and the japanese manual design. #pixelart

(I really, really dislike the idea that Liu Kang became a god. I dislike the idea of making heroes of humanity into gods, and I especially dislike when the sequel powers them back down with a bullshit excuse because the lore made them implausible to be playable)
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
Also it'd make for a great idea to touch on the "Dark Raiden" moments we have in the canon. This alternate Raiden is what happens if our Raiden fully loses his patience against humanity. He could gloat about it: He KNOWS canon Raiden has this evil inside him, too.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
I find it funny how MK's lore is so different from the franchise starting with MK2 onwards (especially Raiden), where elements become more solid. So I imagined what if they used these differences to move the franchise forwards. One can dream. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
Embrace the retcons, make AltRaiden's tournament have the dragon logo in reverse (remember that from MK1), have him be all white, bring back any villains and gods as evil. And when this story is done, create a MK1 aligned with the canon. Ahhh... Everything is possible in fanfiction.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
The setting is now BACK to being about a tournament, BACK with an important host figure, and better yet: It clears the path for a TRUE "Mortal Kombat 1" because it means that we never actually saw what the first tournament is like in the canon timeline. Our canon timeline starts at MK2, not 1.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
He invades Earths where alternate Raidens have defeated their respective Shang Tsungs for good. And now that our canon Raiden did it, this one considers him worthy of a true Mortal Kombat, where he is the host.+
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
This Raiden, also, is the one from Mortal Kombat. The original game. And we're saying not only this game existed on an alternate timeline all along, but Raiden was the victor +
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
This Raiden comes from an alternate world where, after winning the first Mortal Kombat and destroying Shang Tsung (whose sorcery never impressed him), he enlisted other gods to the tournament, and their battles destroyed the world. This Raiden is an evil god, not Earthrealm's protector +
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
All realms are finally free from Outworld, Earthrealm is at peace. Some time passes. A portal opens: Raiden comes out of it, with an ensemble of gods. They start wreaking havok on Earthrealm, and Raiden challenges Earth to Mortal Kombat. This is not our Raiden+
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
MK9 says that Shao Kahn won Armageddon, then Raiden does the whole "he must win" stuff and we get the first reboot, which leads to 10, 11 and One. Sure. Now, imagine this theoretical MK9: Raiden wins Armageddon. He reaches Blaze, and uses his power to wipe out Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn for good +

Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually, remembering Ecclesia (where he sucks blood using his hand), I wanna get back to CoD. It may be very well the case he's not actually biting Hector... At least not with his fangs. Notice how he embraces Hector with his wings? Look at his wings here. Lined with freaky fangs! :o
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
So, is it yet another reference or just a limitation? The important thing is ol' Drac isn't biting Shanoa :P
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
Order of Ecclesia's director, Shutaro Iida, is a HUGE fan of Jojo. Castlevania has several easter eggs and references to Jojo due to him. DIO, who is the inspiration for Dracula's voice being Norio Wakamoto starting with SotN, is a vampire that DOES drink blood through his fingers +
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
He does not actually bite! I imagine due to artwork/technical limitations, he is made to absorb blood from Shanoa through a grab However, I think there's room to suspect this is intentional. Here's a funny thing +
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
You're absolutely not wrong. Some kind of events involving Quincy Morris, who is a Belmont relative, and possibly Van Helsing (who, with our current knowledge, is ALSO a Belmont relative) go down. But Castlevania being a very different universe, it's really hard to predict how they turned out.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
I wonder if someone who decided to read the novel after playing Bloodlines was like "ok alright but where's Quincy's kid" for the entire reading lmao
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
You're right. And not just Dracula, but the whole worldview and context. The entire thing does not fit the game universe at all.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
In fact, just one character is confirmed in the same approximate time period (Quincy) Three others (Seward, Lucy Westenra, Wilhelmina) are on the far future, FAR removed from the same context, and all three are sorcerers :P
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social)
Are there people who still think Bram Stoker's novel is canon to Castlevania? Do YOU reading this think that?
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
I suspect the reason he's seldom shown biting someone in the main canon has to do with the greater focus on him as "Dracula the incarnation of evil" rather than "Dracula the vampire", despite him being unquestionably a vampire. But that is too long winded for now, maybe a thread someday.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
He does that to attack Hector though, at least one time in canon, on Curse of Darkness. And it refils his HP too! But it's not story-relevant like Annette's is.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
Dracula X is a reinterpretation of Rondo for the SNES, with substantial differences including in the story (funnily, this is a topic for my next thread) DXC is "Dracula X Chronicles", a remake of Rondo for PSP. Modernized presentation, but few deviations at the core.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
In DXC, Annette says this. In the guide it says "Dracula gave her eternal life". So, one COULD extrapolate Dracula bit her. Grimoire of Souls does add some confusion here though, which could put into question if it was REALLY Drac that bit her. But I'm chosing to ignore it for this moment.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
btw, the "spirit projection" thing I mentioned isn't explained in the game. The castle exists BOTH whole and destroyed at the same time in LoS2. I asked Enric Álvarez (the game's director) directly to confirm it. It's not "time travel" or something, the castle is a manifestation of Dracula's ego.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, here is him biting Laura and drinking her blood. This is how Dracula becomes a vampire in the Lords of Shadow canon, so he's not yet one here in this scene. Here he needs to become a vampire so he can enter another realm and defeat a powerful demon.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
One more Castlevania Dracula biting someone, this time on LoS2. This Carmilla isn't "real", in the sense this is a "projection from Dracula's spirit" thing going on. The castle and everyone in it become real from Dracula's spirit when he projects it into reality. But a bite is a bite.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social) reply parent
In the Netflix show, another Castlevania Dracula bites someone again. A MUCH more flattering portrayal of the character, with all due respect to the comic. In here he's hazing merchants that have disrespected him.
Mário Santos (@mariosantos.bsky.social)
Yes, *a* Castlevania Dracula has been shown biting (and turning) someone. This is from the Castlevania: Belmont's Legacy comic. Does that qualify :P ?
