I FREAKING LOVE HOW BEAUTIFULLY THEY SHOWED THIS MOB OFF!

[@Meg_Lovegood]

That moment when you see the Wall of Flesh "Legion" The origin of Legion's design comes from a biblical account about a large number of demons who possessed a man. The New Testament outlines an encounter where Jesushealed a man from Gadara possessed by demons while traveling, in an event that came to be known as "the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac". Thus, from the concept of being "composed of many" came the design of the shell composed of a large number of human bodies. The Symphony of the Night boss, Granfaloon, is named after a concept found in Kurt Vonnegut's 1963 science fiction novel Cat's Cradle. In the novel, a "granfalloon" is defined as a "false karass"; that is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless. It is a satirical reference to a group of high-minded people who share a similar belief. The group is described by Vonnegut as "a proud and meaningless association of human beings". The Granfaloon in Castlevania would be a literal representation of this ideal.

[@MrCat-zz5eo]

I feel Isaac fighting the Granfaloon is kinda symbolic, in a way. The original definition of a Granfaloon comes from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle (the one with the all-freezing Ice-Nine), and is used by a religion in-story to refer to a gathering of many people that is ultimately purposeless and meaningless. Isaac fights the Granfaloon while he's on a journey of finding himself after years of being Dracula's loyal Forgemaster. He's in search of belonging and purpose, after having lost his original purpose (loyalty to Dracula). As we recall, Dracula's cabal was ultimately a misguided self-destructive war plan by a broken man who had no intention to win: a granfaloon in its own right. I've seen discussions of how the nameless magician is a foil to Isaac, a magic-user who controls the flesh of helpless mortals as weapons of war. It feels very intentional to pit them against each other in an arc where Isaac is searching for himself and improving himself. Ultimately Isaac slaying the Granfaloon and the wizard in control is Isaac defeating his own worst self, purging his doubts and hangups from the past, and leaving the metaphorical granfaloon that hangs over him behind.

[@morlunknight884]

I didn't even think about this being the representation of legion , but damn that's such a good way to show it.

[@lowhp_comic]

Game: Hector = Cool, Isaac = Tool Netflix: reversed

[@jeremyallen5974]

This scene was great and all but it was Isaac's conversation with Fly Eyes that made him the TRUE MVP of the show

[@rawirihemi27]

It’s always good when they get a game adaptation right.

[@cakerberg1735]

1:05 Isaac: Ok even for me that's fucked up

[@Al-ok1lj]

Who is this magician btw? He’s controlling the townsfolk with virtual crowns of thorns?

[@blaster23456]

Just a random magician that Issac kills. He enslaved the town to form an army of laborers to build him a fortress or something. It's actually mentioned I believe that the towns folk can still feel pain and think and such so to them, it's an I have no Mouth, but Must Scream situation so death would be preferable to life.

[@Omnicras]

If you like theories, the wizard bears a striking resemblance to Saint Germain

[@bichitomax]

@@Omnicras have you watched the show ? St. Germain is literally presented at the beginning of the first episode.

[@uandresbrito5685]

He's technically Legion's Core-- but not a literal core.

[@hashbrownslinging-slasher872]

JBeja M Well, he is a time traveller after all.

[@willn8664]

So this is what a Boss vs Boss fight is like.

[@emeraldmorgan6644]

Oh yeah! I forgot Isaac is suppose to be the villain

[@venessafugi6768]

I love how a lot of night creatures’ attributes seem randomized, but they can also manifest as anything a forgemaster needs them to be

[@FirstLast-cg2nk]

Castlevania: The only series where the guy who stabs people in the heart and has their corpse possessed by a demon, and leads a demon army with the intent of wiping out the entire human race... is one of the good guys.

[@jimstoesz3878]

I really appreciate that Isaac fights someone who's at the end of the road he's currently walking: a sad, lonely, pathetic little creep who sees other people as mere tools for him to use and discard as he sees fit. It forces him to see that he's wrong, which is always important to redemption arcs.

[@rainyliquid5644]

Gotta love this show just for how it works its magic.

Isaac: Path of the King Alucard: Path of the Lonely Trevor: Path of the Dark Hector: Path of the SIMP

[@supernaturalawesome1]

Isaccs journey and character development in this series was top notch. His original stance that humans don't deserve to live and should be wiped out is subverted when vampires betray Dracula and Issac is assisted and even saved in his travels by helpful humans. Then he sees this. Someone like he was in the beginning. Using human beings as tools and pawns. Disregarding them as things, and Hector's face says it all. He feels bad for these people and wants to kill the monster responsible. He then buries these people with dignity in proper graves and repairs the city so that eventually people can repopulate it. Brilliant character writing 🖋👍

[@antoniotorres1674]

This version of legion was DOPE.

[@FBI-1987]

So, basically forgemasters are essentially unstoppable.

[@nickyl3884]

THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD

[@Icelock88]

Isaac And Sypha had the most creative fight scenes this season. Hell, maybe even this year so far lol. XD

[@alincoman4605]

The best character alongside Trevor,hats down.

[@yoboikamil525]

watching this on the family TV hoping this shows up when someone walks in instead of Hector or Alucard

[@fallenknight3016]

isaac has been listing too much gloryhammer

[@nobodyimportant4778]

In retrospect a demon horse with horns pointing toward the rider instead of forward is a bad idea

[@SylasReidd777]

Can't wait to see Isaac vs Trevor

[@risinghopper1213]

Meanwhile Alucard is having a good time...until it turns into a bad time

[@Dextros-zs2xj]

Can't call it legion. There's not a laser shooting tentacle monster underneath all of them.

[@Renkencen]

Funny how despite knowing Isaac fully intention, I am still routing for him!

[@cherryshark9170]

Legion?

[@martmandred9182]

Close enough.

[@kenneth27205]

Granfaloon

[@Ninjaananas]

@@kenneth27205 The same demon.

[@rahulsar2030]

So about time Issac realized that killing bad evil tyrants is better than killing everyone in general.

[@hasanyelok3277]

Isaac is my favorite character in this show, and I am rooting for him. I hope after killing all the sisters in Styria, he becomes a good person to spread wisdom and kindness to people, like the Captain said. Also, does the Magician look like Saint Germain, or am I wrong?

[@ianmeadows6941]

Hasan YELOK that would be the biggest change of his character. SPOILER AHEAD: He’s the one to bring Dracula back to life.

[@Ninjaananas]

Saint Germain is someone else whom you can see in the series.

[@alexanderplatypus3664]

Isaac is in for a rude awakening when he fights the Vamps + Hector. Just sayin... now, if he teamed up with Trev Syph and Alucard then we have problems

[@zander8485]

Isaac is the secret protagonist of Castlevania

[@edk487]

Issac and hector are complete opposites. Issac was out there getting shit done. while hector was getting played the whole season

[@sebas8225]

Isaac - Opressor; Hector - Opressed. The irony is, either of them could´ve had the other´s role easily, if they werent so different in their ways of thinking, Isaac would never put himself in the positions Hector does, whereas Hector never uses his powers to opress others and ends up being opressed instead.

[@alexanderplatypus3664]

Hector wants to get played deep down I feel like. Lenore understood that about him, he needs guidance and direction from other. In season 4 he will become like Isaac using his powers to conquer humanity and expand the Vampire empire.

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

This has got to be the one of the coolest looking renditions of Legion I've ever seen in this franchise.
