Castlevania Season 2 Episode 2 Reaction

[@staticxac]

Carmilla was not responsible for Dracula’s wife’s death, it was the old healer from the village who turned her in….

[@lynxfresh5214]

Aka the nasty foot lady... ugh...

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah we know that now. And filmed this before people told us last episode but we like to go on wild theories haha 🤗

[@lhhOriginalGrey]

With how the vampires see people as livestock I Iove how they talk about Belmont's like their apex predators

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😁😏

[@voratittchunharuckchot9711]

It’s like they see Belmonts as a different species than human.

[@nathanvalley7269]

I love the absolute fear at the mention of the name Belmont among the war council. They’re from all over the world and every one of them knows to be afraid.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😏

[@-nav-398]

Especially considering the drunk, disheveled, and flippant version we've largely been introduced to. Gives something to look forward to if Belmont's been holding back.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

it was said by the bishop in the last episode that the previous wise woman or doctor who gave out her foot skin was the one who ratted lisa out to the church not carmila

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah we know that now. And filmed this before people told us last episode but we like to go on wild theories haha 🤗

[@jmhaces]

Dracula is so much more powerful than any other vampire in the show that even at his weakest, like when he's gone a long time without feeding or something like that, he can effortlessly destroy them and he knows it. And they all know it. That's why they scheme behind his back and talk trash about his actions or decsions but nobody will seriously try to take him on. Even Carmilla's challenge was mostly for show because she knows she can't take him even if every other general backed her. That's why when they had their private chat her tone was very different and she was very deferential to him. Hell, you've seen Alucard fight by now, and he had to spend a full year sleeping in a coffin in order to heal from the ass-kicking his dad dished when he tried to prevent him from taking revenge for Lisa's execution. Since Alucard has been shown to be a match for Trevor and all the vampire generals are clearly afraid of "The Belmont" while Dracula barely pays the subject any mind, that should tell you a lot about the difference in power levels.

[@danielramsey6141]

So Imagine how Fuckin Cool it would be to see him at Full Strength!

[@Shintigercurl]

trevor: "well, eat shit and die." alucard: "yes, fuck you." i love that interaction. lol.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

They have a great dynamic 😂

[@zacharyjoy8724]

Isaac’s backstory is definitely a gut punch. But it certainly explains a lot about him. 😢

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah 😭😥

[@berickslime6718]

The show has some legendary female characters. Many shows could take note from them.

[@spiddlymcdiddly4201]

Yeah Sypha will probably remain my favorite female protagonist for a long time. The way she uses her magic is so cool

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Very true 🤩

[@daysand123]

​@@spiddlymcdiddly4201and Carmilla is the antithesis because she's such a manipulative piece of shit while twisting it to be about all vanpires

[@kieranwrightstone2199]

Welp the B herself Carmilla shows herself, showing herself to be quite a few degrees more dangerous than the council of vampires Dracula has assembled with her tongue and intellect. Yeah both Issac and Hector both have good reasons to hate humanity, you seen his past as a slave and heard about Hector’s parents treated him. Both Forgemasters creating demons out of corpses and as Blue Fangs in season 1 said a literal army from hell, using souls from there to create the Night Creatures. Speaking of which two of them that attacked the group, the large bat like one and the spear using one are named Gaibo and Slogra are actually bosses in the game series that fight in tandem, or so I can dig up. Finally the vampire council of Dracula minus Godbrand never have their names said in the show ever, so might as well adress them. The bald headed male is Dragoslav, the one with more mid evil clothing is Zufall, the tan skinned male is Sharma, the Indian vampiress is Raman, and the Chinese/Japanese looking vampiress is Chō. Honestly probably not that much farther ahead than you guys in series, starting Season 3 myself and don’t know much about the games. Can’t wait to see more reactions.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Enjoy season 3 😎🤟🥳

[@nunuonroad9969]

Sypha is the most broken character in the show, she just gets stronger and cooler every few episodes.

[@CeltiesSin]

She’s like Aang, without the pacifism 😆

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Nice 😁🤩

[@Slaypilledbratsummer]

I just wanted to tell yall that you literally saved me through your videos like 4 years ago when I was depressed because of my homophobic family who don’t accept me, and yall replied to my comment about my homophobic parents saying something sweet and yall are my fav KZbinrs❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Caldera01]

With Beth's interest in Twilight and philosophical take, I can't wait until we get to a certain death scene later on. ********: "Is that all there is to it? ******, you are a silly man." It just always strikes me quite hard and I keep going back to that scene. It's just so beautifully written and the cinematography is amazing too.

[@filipvadas7602]

1. I love how even the nameless jobbers in the court knew that what Carmilla said was something you *shouldn't* And the thing is, she's lucky that this Dracula is much more emotionally controlled and less sadistic. If she had said that to *game* Dracula she would have been turned inside out on the spot or something. 2. All of the Vampires being instantly wary of the Belmonts is such a good scene. It shows, in no unclear terms, that the clan of monster hunters are still feared by Vampires all over the world despite having been nearly wiped out. Fun facts: A) Isaac and Carmilla are massively different from their game counterparts The former is a much more tragic character, with depths to his seemingly one dimensional loyalty. Carmilla was a loyal lieutenant to Dracula, whereas here she is a very obvious schemer B) Dracula in the games actually has a personal connection to the Belmonts through his former best friend Leon Belmont who was the first of the bloodline's monster hunters and was the one who swore that his descendants would fight Dracula every time he rose again. This, however, is game canon which doesn't translate to the show 1 to 1

[@illyahrthebard3303]

Lament of Innocence is, at least partly, canon to the show. You can see a portrait of Leon in the Belmont stronghold

[@filipvadas7602]

​@@illyahrthebard3303 true, though nothing else from Lament is seemingly acknowledged. Dracula himself doesn't even really hint at any sort of personal connection to the Belmonts

[@illyahrthebard3303]

@filipvadas7602 True, although there wasn't really a lot to go off of since this follows Castlevania 3. It's what makes the massive swerve in the last couple episodes so jarring: they actually had material to use and went against it

[@firecat4529]

0:39 Yeah, we sadly only see the full intro those times and never again. It's such a good intro too, imo.

[@greatgatorgaming6024]

Here’s the episode where everyone stats to realize why Isaac’s the best character. Also the reason why Godbrand’s voice sounds so familiar is because he has the same VA as the psychiatrist in Until Dawn, Peter Stormare.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yup. We finally pieces it together later. We remembered him more from Prison Break 🤗🙂

[@redwal9290]

If you are looking for Hatred, you will see it If you see Love, you will find it.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Well said 🙂

[@wafflebrothel7712]

8:50 someone’s got heartburn! Lol

[@CaptainSpycrab]

We already know who turned in Dracula's wife. They didn't exactly make some big secret about it. It was the old wise woman who Lisa replaced as the village healer in Lupu.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah we know that now. And filmed this before people told us last episode but we like to go on wild theories haha 🤗

[@johnt.6107]

Peter stormare voices Godbrand

[@JM-nothing-more]

almost all of the night creatures in the series are monsters from the 25+ year history of the Castlevania games

[@DanOMega215]

Carmilla is certainly not to be fucked with. She is very tactical, smart, and conieving. Where she comes from she has a Coven of 3 other female vamps, all highly intelligent. You will see them I think in Season 3.

[@noahrobin1941]

All due respect, that’s a bit spoilery IMO. In the interest of preserving their experience, you may want to consider deleting this.

[@darknessunknown4384]

7:30 - 7:33 These two creatures are Slogra (the one with the beak) and Gaibon (the bat-like one); first appearing in Super Castlevania IV, as part of the final gauntlet before facing Dracula. Carmilla has been around since Castlevania II: Simon's Quest; she's the floating mask, in Laruba Mansion. In the games, she's very loyal to Dracula (even being the one to revive him in Circle of the Moon's prologue); but here, you can tell she only serves Dracula when it suits her.

[@notamobilesprout4175]

Haven’t gotten this far, just commenting for algorithm

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Appreciate it 🤗

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

Carmilla has entered the building like the girlboss that she is.

[@darkdawnbringer]

And gave us a peek into the future of how they would ruin this show...

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

You must be fun at parties.

[@darkdawnbringer]

@@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 Haha, go queen slay, yass queeen, you are certainly great at parties queeeeen yaaaaaas slay girlboss...

[@jdogx211]

That is true, ive heard that bit about running water before.

[@zac0918]

guys would love blue eye samurai

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for the recommendation 😀

[@AlexanderAshcroft]

its not Carmella who turned his wife in, it was it was the old witch women selling foot powder. its because she had taken her business away.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah we know that now. And filmed this before people told us last episode but we like to go on wild theories haha 🤗

[@noahrobin1941]

Warren Ellis, for all his faults, does tend to do interesting things with characters and powers. You noticed Sypha trapping the fire in the night creature in this episode; that is a very Ellisian thing IMO (and I dig it as well). If you’re interested in seeing him play a bit with the idea of superheroes, I commend to your attention the Planetary comic (a limited series, available as four trade paperbacks). I don’t think it’s perfect, but I do think it has some interesting ideas.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for the Planetary comic recommendation 😀

[@ernestoglez6725]

5:00 ???

[@kruaser123]

Carmilla is a vampire from a novel that came out around the same time as Dracula, but because it was the Victorian era she was scandalous because she partook in the blood of other women. And as a result of this and a resurgence of her novel in the 90s, nowadays she is only put in media as the lesbian vampire. Sorry if you couldn't tell I'm not the biggest fan of Carmilla in this series, not because she's queer coded, but because she's the cliché man hating angry lesbian archetype, and that dilutes a lot of her Machiavellian tendencies to me. Besides the lesbian vampires from next season are way more entertaining and fun. I ship Moranna and Strega

[@noahrobin1941]

Last couple of lines in your comment are a bit spoilery; you may want to consider editing this.

[@mazimadu]

WHEN DID YOU GUYS HAVE A BABY.... oh it's a dog...

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😂🤗

[@ladyvexx7034]

Her name is pronounced with a long i like "eye". So Sypha, not Siffa.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks 🙏 🤗😀

[@jdogx211]

I love how Carmilla doesnt seem to care. Shes very intellegent, but she comes in, asks the ONE QUESTION everyone else is afraid to; and then at the end, the look she gives and the tone in her voice... Shame shes crazy with ambition, desire and PARTIALLY directionless rage.

[@Kickinthescience]

Carmilla entering with her Bad B walk

[@cybergeek11235]

I will never, ever understand how people can watch multiple episodes of characters pronouncing a name one way (e.g. "SIGH-fa"), and then pronounce it differently (e.g. "SIH-fa") repeatedly, over and over and over. I've seen it in A:tLA reactions, in DBZA reactions, and now in Castlevania, and it just doesn't compute to me. =\

[@andrewbecerra550]

Fun fact, never mentioned in the show. Carmilla is older than Dracula. He is not the first vampire. So even if killing a vampire did kill their line, it wouldn't kill all vampires.

[@grifcheese1076]

She's not older than him in Castlevania lore only in real life

[@cipmaster1]

First!
