Nerd Talk | Castlevania Season 1 Episode 1 Review: Witchbottle

Netflix Castlevania Season 1 Episode 1 Review: Witchbottle:
 


In preparation for Netflix Castlevania season 3, Nerd Talk Dan
will be doing episode reviews of Castlevania seasons 1 and 2.
 Netflix's hit Castlevania series is perhaps the most
successful game adaptation of all time. Unlike the games where
our protagonist bravely begins his journey, writer Warren Ellis
and producer Adi Shanker begin the saga with Dracula, firmly
establishing the vampire lord as a sympathetic character with
depth. As we watch tragedy strike the dark lord, he begins his
campaign against mankind by loosing the armies of darkness from
his abode, Castlevania. 


As the episode ends, we are left to wonder who is the true
villain? Dracula who is waging war against humanity? The church
for manipulating the fears of the people to consolidate power?
Man for being so willing to be led astray? And what of the
Belmonts the heroes of the Castlevania saga?
