Darkstalkers - "Evil! My favourite subject!"

"He read a book once, folks!"
from Everyone's A Critic

[@flamentnagel]

this is unironically one of my favorite darkstalkers things, and i really do adore the dynamic morrigan and demitri have in this cartoon. like they really do just HATE eachother on a level that i'm not sure any of the other works really match

[@zcatcher8955]

They might have a love-hate relationship

[@COMBOY]

That's why I ship them. 😌

[@lunaticlemon2997]

Oh yeah, I remember this stage in Vampire Savior, the one where you battle in a studio set while Pyron broadcasts from his secret satellite for some reason.

[@Awesmic1]

They need to reference this at least once in an actual Darkstalkers game...

[@theskyrax670]

This whole show was meme gold.

[@ZakuIIKai]

They'd actually need to make an actual Darkstalkers game to be able to do that though.

[@COMBOY]

I want a new Darkstalkers game with a victory quote against Rikuo in which they tell him he looks curiously attractive for a fishman. 😆

[@dnmstarsi]

Same. They referenced the Fishman bit in one of the comics so I can see one or two more entertainingly dumb moments in this series.

[@Robbuffet]

As soon as Morrigan threw that red- 90s animation energy, I saw that being a scene that'd be neat to have as a stage.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

Funnily enough, that's probably the most accurate Dimitri and Morrigan are in this series.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@Audrion Irks Not that. I mean Morrigan and Dimitri fighting because they absolutely hate each other. I myself view Morrigan as a chaotic-neutral character.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@Audrion Irks Oh, I'm aware of how the Udon comics portray her. And I don't mind all that much.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@Audrion Irks I may view her a certain way, but that doesn't mean there can't be other interpretations of her. There can be different versions of a character with different iterations in their portrayal.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@Audrion Irks Okay, I took a deeper look and I'll admit, you are right. Morrigan is awful in the comics.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

@Audrion Irks I didn't know the full scope of it.

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

GREETINGS, LITTLE BROTHER.

[@edfreak9001]

Well, yeah. She's canonically scottish. Not just in the cartoon either.

[@edfreak9001]

@Audrion Irks yeah, in the games isn't she one of the protagonists even like she's down for a bit of bloodshed but she isn't antagonistic usually

[@edfreak9001]

@Audrion Irks i think the comics are derided for that very reason lol i know i've heard some people who were pissed about her portrayal in those

[@affegpus4195]

@Audrion Irks and everyone favorite gijoe character was baroness. i woulnt say ruined

[@godking]

I thought she was Irish.

[@Bloodlyshiva]

To be fair they were about as snarky in Namco x Capcom, so I can't exactly fault it.

[@euanmilne5302]

they do them both EXTREMELY DIRTY in the visuals department, but the convey their dynamic quite well

[@lightyearpig12]

Ah my favorite channel, TV Studio!

[@joe6443]

Xd

[@markdodson8570]

If Lilith Aensland was in the dic version I imagine she'd be a succubus that talked in a valley girl accent and is obsessed with partying.

[@dnmstarsi]

Also Scottish accent and maybe her hitting on random dudes ending in disaster for w.e. reason.

[@auditect950]

You know, I've been thinking about this after reading your comment. I assume that she and Morrigan would have a pretty bad relationship, with Morrigan possibly setting her up a few episodes early by comparing something to "her annoying little sister". I can also see Lilith being a good counterpart for Morrigan, fighting for the heroes. What is most interesting is that being Morrigan's sister, Lilith would also be a descendant of Morgan La Fay's, and therefore be able to combine her powers with Harry's, similar to how Morrigan did in the Episode "My Harry's in the highlands", and use the combined powers for good.

[@chaijulut4143]

Mmm... perhaps this is what Morrigan was like before splitting lilith outta her (no wonder she did if that's the case)

[@gonzalotorres5282]

​@@dnmstarsimake her the Scottish Pokémon Trainer: big eater, sucks at giving the SUCC (or has no idea on how to horni).

[@joeberryman3563]

Now we just need Skeletor and Shredder to show up.

[@荒巻正男]

Think this is the only episode that Morrigan was drawn decently. Every other time made her look all haggard.

[@chaijulut4143]

She definitely looks younger, prettier, happier, healthier and not like she really hates her life.

[@misterboxhead3045]

I surprised that they genuine referred morrigan as an succubus

[@gonzaloNMF]

Ho ho! You read a book once folks!

[@AmeliaJean_21]

Strangely attractive for a fish man

[@Taverens_Pull]

So I've heard.

[@Mysterydude2]

This is how normal people interview

[@Hela_Of_The_Norns]

Why do i suddenly see Jerry Springer gone Darkstalkers?

[@kagemaru259]

Hated how they made Pyron, Dimitri, Morrigan, Anakaris and Lord Raptor bumbling idiots in this show.

[@theHedgex1]

Interviewer:..... Just bang already.

[@maxwellgraves635]

Is Pyron the voice of Dumb American Cartoon Bison?!?!!?!?

[@jamesmontesi4667]

My favorite darkstlkaers are 1.Anakaris 2.rikuo 3.victor 4:FeliCa

[@affegpus4195]

oh yeah Rikuo is curiously attractive for a fishman

[@Rgoid]

@@affegpus4195 And Anakaris is such a goofball.

[@DoodOverThere]

She can't decide on an accent!

[@RenzoXVII]

Why Morrigan looks nice here?

[@Dante_yo_son_of_sparda_yo77]

Probably cause they used the actual model sheet instead of going off model

[@firstcooommment3675]

Is this what leads to the TV station stage in DarkStalkers 3?

[@eway44]

What is this...? Is this a kid's cartoon about Darkstalkers!? I know that Mortal Combat got a kids cartoon but DARKSTALKERS!?

[@Levitz9]

Yep, made by the same folks who did the old Street Fighters cartoon. Being a Canadian gig, you can hear a lot of the same cast: Protoman/Ken Masters V.A. Scott McNiel voiced Lord Raptor, Rikuo and Anakaris.

[@dnmstarsi]

Darkstalkers having a kids show makes more sense than Mortal Kombat, though. Sure, there's monsters but Darkstalkers is goofy AF and has Warner Bros-esque animations so this type of cartoon does make sense but it's not intentionally funny or well written or well animated.

[@eway44]

@@dnmstarsi Darkstalkers also has Felicia who is almost naked. How did THAT get past censors

[@dnmstarsi]

@@eway44 Because most folks aren't aware that she's nude because her natural hair or w.e. works well as censors especially if you edited her look to make it less revealing.

[@eway44]

@@dnmstarsi Its pretty obvious but I guess it can be edited

[@Kolbatsu]

the writers just gave up in this episode. But to be fair there was no effort put into show anyway

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

My guess if they will add more characters: Lilith: Morrigan's good counterpart, VERY annoying (basically Scrappy-Doo as a succubus), often acts like a spoiled brat. B.B. Hood: Cute but psycho, with a grating voice that sounds like a cat being stepped on. The only human villain. Q-Bee: Makes bee, honey, and insect puns 24/7, talks like a girl trying to do a Waspinator impression. Jedah: Still evil, but portrayed like an edgy emo teen.

[@terrinauh1576]

Morrigan Lee

[@HoneyBunchesMcLover]

Let me try to put this in perspective-hobos farting into an oscillating fan would have had better Scottish accents than the Morrigan here.

[@spikeyrex5873]

PYRON HAS A BROTHER!?

[@dnmstarsi]

Of course he has a brother, just like how Demitri is the nephew of Count Dracula or that Huitzil is stronger than Pyron in this show! Seriously.

[@Physhi]

I can't my palm away from my face.
