I remember the goat joke thing from back in the days when Warren Ellis showed an excerpt of the script in his blog/website, it's like he had that joke prepared for some time and he was just waiting for the "right" time to use it. I also remember people used to make fun of it on the forums back in 2007... One more thing i recall... his post showed a concept art or fanart of the 4 protagonists (Grant had a turban for some reason) wonder if he at least tried to introduce him in the beginning and then he just gave up and came with an excuse later
At the end of the day, both are overall separate stories similar to DC Elseworlds or, possibly similar to how Lords of Shadow is a separate story from the original Castlevania. That’s pretty much how adaptations end up being. Lisa was retconned in with Symphony of the Night, she was part of a royal family known as house Fahrenheit, going with the Manuals. Grant Danesti is part of the great houses of Wallachia, one being Draculesti or Basarab and the other Danesti house was a rival and potential to ruling Wallachia. Thank you for the comparison made on the differences between the different stories. It gives me hope about my own thoughts on future projects .
It was either Adi Shankar or Samuel Deats who said he won't be in the series, or he will be but in such a minor role he'll go unnamed. Because.....reasons.
The reasons given were 1) They said his name was dumb and 2) They thought he was a pirate and wouldn't fit. Someone didn't research past that old manual mistranslation to know he has been said to be a thief.
@@blumiu2426 1) His name is dumb, just call him Grant only. 2) I know he was a thief, so what, Trevor is a douchbag? 3) He's essential to part 3, he's the second best playable character. Its like releasing a Ninja Turtles cartoon and leaving out Raph because his name is dumb and he's rebellious. Makes no sense and neither did his exclusion here. Goodbye!
@@tonesdad0408 Why are you being defensive as if attacked? 1) Given no one has Romanian names in Romania, everyone has a dumb name. Please explain how Grant Danasty is dumb, facts over opinion would be excellent. 2) Considering I said "they" why are you thinking I was asking you a question? I'm glad you know, the creators did not. I'm not sure where the last part came from... 3) He's extremely essential as there was a trio that set out, Alucard joining them. But three humans from different backgrounds joining together. He would have added an important dynamic of relating more to the common man compare to Sypha (a witch raised by the church) and Trevor (a vampire hunter who's family was in seclusion). However the show messed up all their backgrounds, some worse than others. And yes, he was pretty OP even compared to Sypha in game. Their reasons clearly show they don't respect the property and wanted to do as they pleased with it. Americanize it, other words. Aside politics they threw in, leaving out Grant and Death are huge mistakes even the least familiar fan should realize is following in the steps of Western studios messing with properties for self inserts and compromise to be mainstream.
@@blumiu2426 Plus the fact the Dinasti clan were enemies of the historical Dracula and not just a character made up for the games. Ellis just didn't like the character.
Good video. Can you tell me where can in found the track that start on 3:00, I have all the soundtracks of the games and some covers but that one sounds amazing and I don't have. Tnx!

Yeah, I remember when someone first linked it on the Castlevania Dungeon Forums back then and we all were poking fun at the "edginess" of the script.
@@SindraVaniaProjectswho would've imagined back then that the project would end up being animated after all with that script 😂
Really nice video, hope you'll do more in the future :)
That's the plan! Working on the next season as we speak!

Most glaring of all: Grant. If they don't get him in at some point than that's a travesty...

Apparently I'm the 666th viewer of this video.
Congrats!
So, not a lot has changed.
