Castlevania: Season 3 - Review

Castlevania on Netflix has released season 3, and we're in a much different place than season 1. Here are my thoughts on it.
#Castlevania

[@tgr3423]

My favorite scene in Season 3 was Isaac's discussion with The Captain. It's such an amazing dialogue. The Captain is actively challenging Isaac's view on humanity, not necessarily by pointing out the flaws in his logic, but by showing him what he's been blind to because of his rage. Showing Isaac that because he's so fixated on the acts of malice committed by humanity, he keeps forgetting about the humans that have willingly helped him because they wanted to. If Isaac hates how ignorant and scared people are, instead of slaughtering humanity, he could potentially save it by becoming a teacher, showing everyone to be more willing and able to understand others. Isaac is routinely shown both of these aspects of humanity, which is exactly why he's struggling so much as a person. It's why every time he enters a new town, his guard is momentarily let down because a prior act of kindness shown to him makes him believe for just a singular moment that there's hope in humanity. Then it swiftly gets crushed by the masses. What a great fuckin' scene.

[@Droemar]

I admit the Captain was the last dude in the world I would've expected to play angel's advocate.

[@patrickblanchette4337]

TGR To be honest you too would be hesitant to let someone into your town who literally has a pack of hell-spawn following him.

[@friend2263]

I liked the scene where Isaac talked to the monster's life. I thought that was Pretty intersting

[@patrickblanchette4337]

Bro9650 Good point, but on the end other hand, they were probably thinking that if they let him through that he would kill even more people. Especially if word of what happened in Wallachia has spread.

[@inquisitorquinnge8762]

Bro9650 I mean to be fair if someone walks into town with a bunch of night creatures i would be super skeptical

[@Thurmaan]

Everyone is praising Isaacs conversation with the demon and I’m here loving the one with the captain! The talk about good and evil was amazing!

[@yarpen26]

Honestly, the writing this season is overall top-notch. Even some of Saint-Germain's talk with Salas sounded like something straight out of Umberto Eco.

[@mementomori8991]

The conversation with the demon was much, much more fascinating though.

[@danieljohansson6872]

Best scene of the season

[@VladGrim]

I love the captain and eventhough I disliked Isaac because they changed his design from the original game, he really rocked it this season. He had the best character development for me, and the captain would have made him a way better person if he stuck around longer.

[@jortharob3406]

@@VladGrim I liked the change they made to him but that's just me. Also the writing was great for everyone that isn't the main characters of the game.

[@thats4thebirds]

I thought Sypha and Trevors arc was pretty amazing. She’s just a bubbly adventurer and he knows better, but let’s himself get caught up in her energy. By the end, she’s come crashing down with the realization of how dark the world really is and Trevor has fully sunk back into those feelings. Then adding Alucard starting to walk his fathers path and you have some stellar setup... and that’s just the main characters!

[@AeneasGemini]

Honestly, I liked most of their arc, but the reveal of the Judge as a bad guy at the end, was just unnecessary. It felt like an attempt to be edgy for the sake of it. I get that they were building it up subtly, but literally that was a step too far down nihilism street

[@alilweeb7684]

@@AeneasGemini my main problem is that it never showed any sings, like physcological sings he was killing children for like... no reason. i guess that is creepier that way but still i dont think the decision to make the jugde a monster bad but the execution that was lacking

[@SlickSkuddy]

AeneasGemini I felt that the two people alucard was helping were the ones that made me feel that way. I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that the judge was also a piece of shit low key. The 2 visitors that alucard was helping turned on him at the last second. It was unnecessary.

[@Psycorde]

@@AeneasGemini yeah, I'm kinda torn on the Judge thing too, seemed unnecessary.

[@alexchism5192]

@@AeneasGemini Naaaa it was totally on point. It shows that not everyone is who you think they are plus if you didn't get an off vibe from the judge to begin with then your tripping. Ultimately it serves as character growth for Sypha so she can begin to come to terms with the reality that the world isn't all fun and adventurous like she began the season.

[@geraldodelrivero8982]

But enough talk HAVE AT YOU

[@ninjastorm540]

I took season 3 more as Isaac's statement: "when they ask why did you try and help murder everyone? ill say because you're all so fucking rude" This was proven for all the characters in every perspective. All the central characters got to see the worst in people in one way or another.

[@Spinnekk]

One of the biggest moments IMO was when Isaac had that conversation with one of his minions; the philosopher. It never occurred to me that those minions could even be sentient and that they were once human. That entire scene was very well done and just awesome!

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

All of Isaac's deep conversations were so good. I'm so hyped for more episodes of the Isaac show

[@Wingedmagician]

I was kind of hoping that I’d hear more night creatures/demons talk after that. Especially the big bads at the final fight, they could have said something!

[@Spinnekk]

@@Wingedmagician Yeah, that would have been pretty cool to see.

[@VarjoPira]

In that moment, it really makes you think: if this guy's *this* sentient, what's preventing these guys from running with it and taking over at some point? The last words the "philosopher" said were greatly hinting at more agenda than just "following orders".

[@Wingedmagician]

NorthernRedStar he must follow orders tho

[@saintcarreyett]

The reveal of the Judge in the finale was pretty dark.

[@yarpen26]

But really pointless and makes little sense. How the hell does the leader of a town get joy out of murdering little kids? Not to mention the fact that this doesn't fit his personality at all.

[@saintcarreyett]

@@yarpen26 So in your opinion, what should his personality be? They did foreshadow it.

[@saintcarreyett]

@TresspasingToad That is the thing. He did love the town and felt the children running around were ruining it. That was his motivation for killing them. But I do agree. It would have been nice if they had done more with it.

[@watertommyz]

It wasn't pointless...he served as a means to develop Sypha and see that the world is fucked up. Why Trevor even drinks in the first damn place. Also, I think they wanted you to like The Judge so that you'll feel like shit too when you learn the truth. That said, this series has always pushed a mean spirited gorey nature that was never in the games. Yeah, you kill demons and shit, but it was never gorey or mean spirited. It is the one thing I both hate and love about the adaptation. Just once, I'd like Bloody Tears/Vampire Killer to play during an action scene but because of how the tone is so dark, it really doesn't seem like it would fit. Maybe the world will become more peaceful and normal by the time Simon Belmont is born. And the seried could earn that track, but for now, I feel like these guys would have done better with a Bloodborne anime. Something that is dark by nature, and has this whole other world...the creatures looked more like that, than they ever did Castlevania enemies. But that's just me. It's a guilty pleasure...on the one hand, this is exactly how I used to imagine an adaptation would look like, so I'm 50/50. As long as they tell a good story.

[@samc5934]

yarpen26 nahhh he seemed to have an obsession with the perfection of his town to me. And it’s really great character development for Sypha

[@Lespaulofdoom]

Is sad how Alucard is mentally a teenager. He’s lonely and wants love. The two people he trusted show him love in a physical way. He’s moved by that emotion that he starts tearing up during sex. The parallels with Hector is also evident since he was also abandoned and wants acceptance and love which makes him susceptible to Lenore.

[@montenegroafro4454]

It’s also incredible how the animators show the parallels between Alucard and Hector in that the former is a vampire who falls in love with humans, while the latter is a human who falls in love with a vampire.

[@ianmoone2488]

Hector’s naïveté actually makes sense; he’s been repeated compared to a child or an animal, meaning he’s never truly matured. Remember, he burned his parents alive as a boy and it seems like he never found another family, He’s trusting because he doesn’t know any better. But damn, after Season 2, he SHOULD’VE known better!

[@matthewmuir8884]

After season 2, he did know better. Initially, he didn't trust Lenore at all, he saw through her early attempts to manipulate him, and he even hatched an escape plan that only failed because Lenore can turn into a swarm of bats at will. It took a lot for Lenore to get Hector to trust her, and, at that point, I honestly would've found her being genuine about wanting to make a deal to be not only more surprising, but more interesting.

[@JMsaintmilo96]

Remember hector is the heroe in castlevania curse of darkness

[@Alex_Logan22]

Matthew St. Cyr He did know, he tried to pull a fast one and continuously doubted her/them. He just steadily got seduced and figured regardless of what’s true and what isn’t, it was in his best interests to obey her, this was the best he could make of a terrible situation. Compare where he’s at in the end of season 3 to season 2’s end, he’s much better off as Lenor’s pet than Carmilla’s, and she at least genuinely cares for him on some level. She manipulated him but not outright lie, giving him the best he can get while still having what she and her sisters want. He’s not as foolish as some are making him out to be.

[@marche800]

Well to be fair he was also in alone in a cell after god knows how long treated like less than piss and not allowed to wear any clothes. It doesn't really surprised me that any show of kindness would eventually get under his skin, plus it's not like he wasn't suspicious. Lenore is just a master diplomat playing with an inexperienced boy who's been deprived of kindness for months, likely as long as Alucard if not longer.

[@buntado6]

@@JMsaintmilo96 He's the hero that defected from Dracula, it's only jarring because we're all more familiar with the story of a guy that had his resolve clear from the moment we knew him, not the guy that out of grudge agreed to help Dracula cull mankind for being outcasted. Yet his conviction wasn't as big as Isaac's, he hates to dirty his hands by directly harming others, prefers the company of animals since they have no complex feelings like hatred, and he brought them back binding them through devil forgery because he couldn't accept death. He was bound to be a guy with very low self steem for his background to make sense, and unfortunately for him instead of finding someone that genuinely connected with him like originally happened, here he fell in the hands of schemers that exploited his immature desire of a life without consequences.

BamBam Jesus There’s a level to this show where the writers are sorta metaphorically putting common religious beliefs on blast, in a fun/compelling way.

Season's moral lesson: Dont stick your d**k in crazy . I bet the vampire blacksmith that made Hector's slave ring will help him remove it and make him vampire killing gear. Hector liked the book given to him by Lenore and even complimented its contents but Lenore said later on that the book belongs to the blacksmith which maybe a hint that the blacksmith is a wise vampire. Further dialog hints also that the blacksmith is oppressed in their kingdom and is just treated as a tool. And if this series will follow some of the ideas in the game... Hector IS a vampire hunter.

Since it is adapting some of Curse of Darkness, and that he has an "hour glass" on his attire, and the fact that he says he will see Sypha and Trevor again before closing the portal, I am most certain he will be showing up.

In a way though, it's kinda right. Castlevania was never this mean spirited nor was it ever gorey, gross, or sex driven. Even Lords of Shadow never got as messed up visually as the anime does, and that's the one that got the mature rating. It is both the reason I love and hate this adaptation. It's most certainly how I imagined Castlevania would be adapted growing up, but at the same time, this isn't the Castlevania I grew up with. It's not the kinda atmosphere that lends itself to the music of the games, so we're likely never going to hear some of the most famous tracks or tunes. So, already a big chunk of what made the games is missing. But at the same time, I kinda really like where they're going with it.

[@ninadiamant8937]

I've posted this a few times on other reviews, but oh well. Here we go: Don't obsess over the sex. People need to understand that Alucard craves for human interaction or at least someone who can accept and maybe even understand the pain he's going through. Up until then, I don't think he even had any experience with being deceived in such a way. And loved? He thinks he doesn't deserve to be even seen as a person who should be loved, let alone can be. Imagine having to guard your dead father's magical castle (killed by you no less), the Belmont hold and trying to survive freaking eternity! What?! Please, the show perfectly portrayed a young self-loathing man on the brink of suicide. Again, don't obsess over the sex. Obsess over the fact how much this betrayal has wounded him and probably closed his heart for anyone coming his way in the future.

He talked to the captain who treated him with kindness and gave him the "not all humans" talk which seemed to give Isaac food for thought but then immediately abandoned the idea when a bunch of humans refused to let him walk his hell squad through their town again.

I see your point but I think that the arc was incredibly needed for Alucard. He's learned that he was too trusting with humans and has started to sink into the emotions and actions of Dracula. Sure some of it was awkward but I feel a lot of it makes sense as he was obviously being forceful with trying to fill a hole which is why he tried to keep the new characters around and that in turn it what made them betray him. We had a lot more talking and learning this season but I feel like it was entirely justified in building Alucard as a reflective of his Father which can be built upon next season.

I see it like this. Alucard is still practically a child at this point in terms of maturity. He’s been spoiled by Trevor and Sypha being such good people that he doesn’t have first hand experience of just how cruel humans can be. (Dead mom aside) And with how lonely and isolated he was, it’s no surprise that he was deceived to such an extent. (Preeetty sure Dracula had more than his fair share of betrayals that hardened his heart to any humans before his wife) The sex just added onto the layers of deception; They fully took advantage of him in every way. This will definitely lead to a wiser, hardened, more violent Alucard in the future.

[@maxacorn]

i don't think the last 2 eps of this season would've been as impactful if we didn't have so much character building for all the cast in the other eps. at first i was kind of let down but after really thinking on it, this season was brilliant. like in another comment section of a vid showing trevor and sypha's relationship, someone said it would've been better if they kissed since hector and alucard got kisses as well and full on sex scenes. then i countered with this: true, hector and alucard got some on-screen kisses and sex but they got them from people who didn't really care about them and in the end, betrayed them. on the flip side, trevor and sypha never say they are a couple, never do PDAs, outside of holding hands, never kiss and never have a sex scene together, even though we see them sleeping together. but yet, they trust each to the degree that such actions are not needed. trevor: sypha.......do you have my back? sypha: always.

[@ascalon8001]

You might not fully realize the situation he was in. I actually liked this part of it. People who do not have strong convictions, ambitions or sense of purpose will be inherently more easily swayed because the mind looks for something to cling onto. And while being beaten and humiliated might make you more insecure it also breaks down your self-esteem and resolve which makes you more prone to manipulation in its own way. Although you might think Hector should know that them not killing him and letting him live is a tactical move, the mind does not care and it will affect him nonetheless. It is really interesting to analyze these things and see really how malleable our minds can be. Such things happen in real life too, a famous example might be the girl kidnapped by the urban guerillas or something and then joining them willingly after being locked in a closet and manipulated for a month or two.

What happened to both Alucard’s parents and himself is an unfathomable tragedy, all three of them. We can’t even begin to understand what it would be like to be Alucard, it’s very compelling. Dracula was also just as lonely in season 2, being surrounded by vampires and demons didn’t help.

[@budgethero4hire12]

The only thing that bugs me in this season is how little Trevor gets to interact with the world in general. Story just sort of sets him in a passive pace so the rest of the characters and lore can flourish.. it's fine, but as a Belmont fan I feel like there was not nearly enough forces of evil being whipped into non-shape. Him relishing the chance to unload on the creepy monks and unsuccessfully hide a body in a barrel was quite fun. Sypha was fantastic, as was the narrative of the story arc coming full circle from the plucky life of an adventurer to whoops, everybody sucks, is dead, or somewhere in between. Here's hoping when season 4 manifests our heroes still have some fire within to keep things going and do not simply sulk and brood as everything comes apart at the seems.

Kililng Dracula was the main mission his lineage inherited. With that done, and not being very appreciated by that anyways because of Leon's fallout with the church, maybe he didn't feel that necessary anymore, letting Sypha lead. I don't know if living "his way" means he'll retake that, or will search isolation like Alucard.

All of episode 9 felt screwed up beyond belief. I had been watching the series with my parents........ that episode got my parents thinking of kicking me out

[@Hieiman]

😂 You watch this with your parents?

[@watertommyz]

It's not like you made the show...and the gore in the first season didn't mess with them any? I mean, a demon literally carries a baby off in its mouth. But episode 9? That's just too far. The fuck.

[@BahamianSpice]

Isaac’s arc is my favorite in this season. I feel really bad for Alucard and Hector tho. Hector got used and Alucard got betrayed.

[@matthewmuir8884]

I think they made a nod to Grant this season when Trevor refers to bumping into an idiot who put wheels on a boat and called himself, "The pirate of the roads". Apparently, they didn't want to put Grant in the show because they thought a pirate is out-of-place in landlocked Wallachia.

[@mattmccleskey9598]

Lenora actually did like hector she just liked him as a pet

[@lockedin6699]

She's gonna train him to be a fuck machine.

[@matthewcourtney8239]

I don’t know I mean Lenore is playing him but like he was inevitably going to end making their army but like she still gave him the things he asked for.

[@zextthenomad2916]

I think one of the biggest bomb shells of the whole season goes to the apple tree...It's so messed up...

[@DarkBrother26]

Season 3 of Castlevania was a great season can't wait for season 4

[@PharoahsKingdom]

Nah this was the worst season. I'm waiting for season 4

[@elnopalero4691]

PharaohsKingdom doesn’t make it bad though I thought it was great. Maybe you’re the type like everyone here that doesn’t appreciate dialogue

[@RaydeusMX]

To be fair Alucard has always been that way, though most people wouldn't know unless they have access to the VERY old audio dramas and the original Japanese Symphony of the Night since the translation makes him sound somewhat "cooler" (PS > I'm really hoping this anime is so successful we get to see later generations, specially the Richter and Simon storylines.)

[@rorylennon4043]

I feel like it took a while to get going, and there wasn’t as great payoff (compared to last 2 seasons). It felt like more of a set up for future seasons

[@BEATmyguest31]

My thoughts exactly. Still had great moments, but, ultimately, i believe that is exactly what this season was used for.

[@FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

My thoughts exactly. It was a mixed bag, but like you said, it seems like it's setting up for the next season.

[@AlphaladZXA]

So... hows the next season?

[@TheGameCupboard]

This season takes place 2 and a bit years before Castlevania: Curse of Darkness on PS2 so it feels like they're building into that. Knowing the characters in that game and the situation they're in at the beginning it's really interesting to see how they got there. Can't wait for season 4.

[@fablejoey3666]

I absolutely loved this season. I have to say episode 9 and 10 have some of my favorite animated action sequences, of the last few years!!! So insane!!!

[@jonathanlemmon9597]

The war between Dracula and Humanity may be over, but the battle between Alucard and social distancing has only just begun.

[@davidspice3907]

So first things first when that plot with “rule 34 girl” and “forge loser” was going on I was like “this is interesting a vampire that’s a people person.... well sorta a people person but more like a dog person.” Then the collar came out and I was like “I didn’t mean it like that!”

[@danielb270]

David Spice she is dog people person

[@Wingedmagician]

Forge loser. Real compassionate! He’s just naive and good hearted.

[@davidspice3907]

Rob Vel I understand what you mean but I didn’t care for the character and so far he has only ever been tricked and used. Then again Issac is the opposite and constantly gets angry. So I can say the flaws are well written.

[@nimahanna1709]

Hector didn't really have a better alternative and Lenore made it clear, it was either torture and co-operate, die, or live comfortably and co-operate and he chose the best option for now. The ring is something he couldn't have seen coming.

[@mannholloway]

I much rather have the battle of the bastards then a speech about chaos! Now Cersie putting on a black outfit and blowing up the keep. That's chef's kiss.

[@jaromstrong6545]

Season Three was my favorite. I feel like with the character development the first two seasons did, this season had the room to really explore the world and build some lore.
