I don't get why people get triggered whenever Adi strokes his ego. He's generally being unserious and rightfully so with y'all party poopers lurking at every corner
The success of “Devil May Cry” Season 1 and Season 2 has clarified something that most people suspected, some people feared, and a few trolls are still emotionally negotiating with: Adi Shankar is a generational talent.
I am a generational talent in the measurable sense. In the “Adi Shankar can take a globally beloved video game franchise, metabolize twenty-plus years of iconography, preserve its soul, re-arrange its body, expand its audience, trigger its purists, convert its skeptics, and still make the algorithm bend the knee” sense.
My Devil May Cry anime wiped the floor with AAA IP adaptations with millions of dollars in marketing. I am a ratings God …. Two seasons in a row.
I set out to make American animation cool.
I set out to expand the footprint of “Devil May Cry” by orders of magnitude so that there can be more of it.
I set out to prove that video game adaptations do not have to be flavorless corporate sludge assembled in a content factory by emotionally vacant brand managers who secretly loathe the source material.
Mission accomplished ✅✅✅.
For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time.
Season 3 was an inevitability.
This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat
Season 1 was Inferno🔥.
Season 2 was Purgatorio ⚖️.
Season 3 is Paradiso 🪽.
These three seasons make up “The Force Edge Saga.” Since inception “The Force Edge Saga” was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series.
One last thing … “3” is not going to be a normal third “season” of a TV show. With “Season 3,” I am doing something very different. I am crafting a blueprint for how this game is won.
See You all in “Paradise.”
- Adi Shankar
@MvelaseP Coffee machine is just a front. The masses are merely thanking the man for his services to the country.
It's like someone handing you R100 to go buy yourself a sweet. Nothing literal, it's a good gesture.
@shadeytoon1010 Ungrateful much, they gonna miss all the excitement NDMC gave them because like the series or not they still watched so they can something to yap about. 😂
@denteb01 Yeah but the announcement looks promising for future DMC works, so it's not all too bad. And ultimately that is the whole point the Netflix show. More DMC.
