@@johndemesa5196"Obituary" is a short article/notice, usually in newspapers, about the recently deceased person. Trevor faced Death, berated them, taunted them, and wanted to face them, despite knowing that his chances of victory are nearly non-existent, and even if, he would fall with them. Death didn't understand the logic behind this, that's why he said it: "Is there a point to this? Are you dictating the fucking obituary to me, Belmont?" That could be translated to: "Do you really want to die, Belmont?", as Death was claiming that Trevor facing them is a suicide... because it kinda is. The wording was to match Death's character and tone.
@Oscarus4250 I feel it was also a counter roast, death referring to how belmont used to just care about a meal, booze and ignoring problems. (running)

Found that so refreshing. In This day and age where every villain or bag guy must be deeply sympathetic or be forced into whatever their doing is so overdone and honestly boring. I genuinely love evil for the sake of being evil. Not everyone needs a sad story or reason sometimes their just a dick and rhas ok
@@sond.lollipop8919 Ain't it crazy how the sympathetic villains used to be the wacky subversive exception, and now it's the other way around? Tropes do be like that
He sounds utterly nonplussed. Like in DBZA when Goku cheerfully declares, "I'ma deck you in the schnozz" and Freeza just has to... stop and process that for a minute.

@@alexeipino3994 I agree since we don't have enough of them. Although be warned they may be mistaken as an edgy character. To me, edgy characters aren't bad, but most people I see don't like them.
@@My6119 I don't wanna come off as some redpilled loser but its Marvels fault. Edgy has become the new cringe, if a hero is even slightly serious hes considered Edgy, if a villain starts talking like Death ges considered Edgy and its said because some of the best well characters are Edgy. So many people are so used to heros and villains quipping, making stupid references and being "Relatable" and we miss out on cool shit like this. But it's not all bad again we have this version of death
He sounds so absolutely fucking done with everything. Perfect representation of the character, considering the character conflict he's talking about here.
Death is the embodiment of the "Sophisticated as Hell" trope. Everything out of his mouth is a weird amalgamation of typical dramatic villain speech and just sounding like an asshole, and I love it.
Death : _"I'm going to eat your soul .."_ Me : _"Meh, typical villains li-"_ Also Death : _"Sh*t it out and use it to smother your f*cking girlfriend to death."_ Also me : **Uncontrollable wheeze**
It's like an inverted version of Discworld's death. Where Death in Diskworld's simple nature and straightforward views contrast and compliment his wise and respectful speech, like a war veteran comforting you on your death bed, Castlevania's death has the nihilistic and imposing visage we'd expect, immediately kicked aside for the most batshit immature yet still appropriate phrases ever uttered, the whiplash tantamount to a car crash.
I don't think it's inappropriate at all, though. He's not doing it to be edgy. He's doing it because he can't be fucked to care how he sounds. He's an eternal, immortal being arguing with what he sees as an ant. He's a parasite who literally doesn't have human initiative. Belmont was right: all he does is eat and hide. So he literally doesn't have the energy to give a shit. His entire manner is like a spider just waiting for the fly in its web to tire itself out. So of course he sounds exhausted. The very idea of giving a shit or taking initiative runs counter to his nature. And I think that makes him very unique compared to humanlike, emotionally driven villains like Dracula. Death is a force of nature who relies on inevitability - so he just waits for things to come to him.
my favourite line is probably the "Is there a Point to this? Are you dictating your fucking obituary to me Belmont?" because it just sums this scene and his character up. Death being so old he has gone past the "I've collected this vocabulary for centuries, So I will tell you about your gruesome death with words you don't understand" to a point where he just doesn't care about that anymore. You just know he tuned out what Trevor said to him before this line.
@@mackenziewoloschuk7375 I feel like he’d flip a coin and depending on the outcome either watch horrifying videos of machine shop accidents or cat videos and only gets pleasure out of the unexpected coin flip result
It also kind of feels like a snide implication that he's been paying attention to Trevor since the beginning. He asks if Trevor is dictating his OWN obituary to him. And Trevor has been called out at least once before for spending his excommunication pulling his cloak over his face to avoid the shame of a renowned vampire hunter being seen drinking himself to death in some edge-of-civilization pub. Eating and hiding.
What makes this Death work is that all the other villains in the show thus far have been nuanced, complex, even sympathetic. They are well spoken. The philosophy of why they do what they do often becomes the focus. For death to be like this, just plain evil with no depth, is a subversion of expectations.
It makes sense, if you gave gravity a voice it wouldn't have anything profound to say, no grand motives or philosophy behind its existence or actions, it just is. No more depth than it merely existing and doing what the nature of its existence dictates it do.
I absolutely love that they did this. Death has always been depicted as some sort of "Holier than thou" force of nature. They could've easily made him just another fancy talking entity. But they decided to give him an actual personality. Death literally cares for no one, so it makes sense that he reflects that in his speech. The fact the Trevor can partially relate to Death itself also made sense since he was in a similar mood before meeting Sypha lol
Actually give him a personality? He had one in the original games, especially Symphony of the Night. I love this show, but I'm tired of people ignoring its problems and trying to prop up every element so that they don't have to admit that it isn't some perfect masterpiece.
A lot of people hate this, saying its terrible writing and I guess they're right. But I don't care, I can't get over this, its so fucking funny every time I watch it that I honestly love it.
I mean, death would technically be ever present, so it makes sense that he just talks like a hateful guy from the future. It's probably more common down the road to talk how we do and it's less likely to change very much. Or maybe he just likes talking like that. I don't know, I wouldn't call this bad writing in any way. Let deities talk how they want lol
Yeah. And I guess it makes sense he talks like this. Remember, he ain't Death, he can die, he is more a giant ass parasite. With no respect for pretty much... anyone
@@Anans1_Spyd3r When this meme was posted in different social media platforms, there was so much hate saying "It breaks their immersion" or "its overly edgy" and I can understand that but like I said, I love it
@@starbreaker6441 People are pretty exhausting. Plus I mean. They say some mean stuff when they're alive. The things they say when they have nothing left to lose is pretty rough
He just want the humans to die already, he is tired of their shit in and out... He doesn't care and that really reflects on his personality and actions
When he said. "Why is it that only human hands can reach into hell? I can't do it. Isn't that weirdly fucced up?" I don't think he was dissing humanity by saying they were the only true evil. I think he was saying Humans can be evil, but they're not the only evil out there. Yet hell seems to have a preference for punishing only them. I basically interpreted what he was saying as. "Isn't it fucked up that only humans can be considered evil? But not me?"
He does have a point though, Death (the mechanism, not the entity) is as neutral as you can get. Him feeding from death is like the bacteria in your body decomposing you after you die.
I took it as...he existed for a while so he just wants to destroy demons...but there are rules to these domains, and hell spawn isn't the domain of death
He's actually being quite literal here - the person he's talking to is _trying to resurrect the dead._ And that's something that only humans can attempt. Death himself can't even try. And I think he finds something poetically strange about that. Though, his next line is something like "I can't do it. But _you_ can. In your human greed and human need, you could and would do _anything."_ So there's definitely an element of "humans can do this because of their ambition and greed and the power of their emotional attachments" as well.
@@davisdf3064 but hes not actualy death the concept hes a demon who feeds on living things as they pass on its just he was born first and so became assicoated with eath and took on its persona. even its claim to be death itself is a ego stroking false hes just the oldest demon not even the strongest. in reality it really is just a demonic parasite on the entire human race a tik we couldnt dig out.
The thing is Death should know every language since he needs to talk to everyone. So him knowing modern English makes a lot of sense. I sorta imagine his words get auto translated into whatever your the language you know the best.
It makes sense. Dracula has hidden away in his castle for centuries so he didn't change his old timey way of speaking. Death, on the other hand, must be interacting with people all the time, and probably has a rather tough job to boot.
@@Nopeasaurus bad writing?? lol what? what do you mean medieval version?? the word has existed for longer than any can recall. historical documents still show the usage of the word. you're not the deciding authority and you're simply incorrect
@@Nopeasaurus casual??? you realize that most people back then didn't speak in a formal and posh voice right? peasants wouldn't, the belmonts don't. death has met so many humans he's probably found his own way of speaking. if anything an eldritch horror doesn't need to make sense given context. eldritch horrors exist because they have no context therefore your point is null and void.
''I was put here at the dawn of life on Earth, to feed on the last breath of everyone of you fuckers.'' It's one of my favorite lines ever, it sounds epic at the start then he hits you with the real shit! XD
People hating on this missed the point. He's literally death, he's been here for millennia and do you think he'd give a shit about being polite and elegant in his speech? Edit: wow its a warzone in my replies :D
The funny and (kinda) realistic part about this is Swearing is pretty much a sin to God (accdg to Bible of course) even in the exorcist, the demon is dropping F-bombs like no tomorrow. It actually thematically fits that he speaks that way.
This is actually a good interpretation of the Castlevania's death. He is either Galanoth or Dracula's bitch. So why should he continue to act like a butler when infact he's a walmart employee who just went AWOL.
He clearly has the ability to talk poetically, he demonstrates that in the first clip. He isn’t doing this because he can’t speak poetically, he’s doing this because he’s simply just like that
I kinda like it for him. It gives the vibe that he’s so ancient and powerful that he has neither the need nor desire to act grandiose. There’s no show of power, just power. Besides, why be polite to people you consider food?
As a fan of the games since childhood, I absolutely _dig_ this version of Death. Everything from his design, to his voice, to his characterization is absolute perfection. I was worried for a while that we wouldn't get to see him in the show, but he didn't disappoint. I also like that they flipped the dynamic between him and Dracula, although I never minded that he was only number 2 in the games. It made a lot more sense within the context of the show, however.
Yeah, it made sense that sure, Death is also extremely powerful, but he lacks Dracula's charisma and wit, which make it possible to organize the plan. So rather than having him be subservient, Death just follows Dracula because Dracula can make his wish a reality.

@@zurielschubert9410 lmao crusader kings turned me into a monster that would even make Hitler tell me to calm down 🤣
Found that so refreshing. In This day and age where every villain or bag guy must be deeply sympathetic or be forced into whatever their doing is so overdone and honestly boring. I genuinely love evil for the sake of being evil. Not everyone needs a sad story or reason sometimes their just a dick and rhas ok
@@sond.lollipop8919 Ain't it crazy how the sympathetic villains used to be the wacky subversive exception, and now it's the other way around? Tropes do be like that
Death sounds mentally exhausted. Like he's been through this so long, he's pretty much lost any joy in his job.
Big mood
The irony is that despite talking like an social media shitposter, he’s actually intimidating and can be taken seriously.
"Are you dictating your fucking obituary to me, Belmont?" idc what anyone says this iteration of Death is the best one
Same
True facts
Best line ive heard honestly
What a line.
the seriousness he says it with is the cherry on top
I love how bothered he is when Trevor calls him a thing.
“I’m a little more than a…thing.”
Just a little not much
He sounds utterly nonplussed. Like in DBZA when Goku cheerfully declares, "I'ma deck you in the schnozz" and Freeza just has to... stop and process that for a minute.
"Fuuukaaazz"
"Why is it that only human hands can reach into Hell? Dont you think thats weirdly fucked up?" Yeah i do actually wtf
Immortals just just completely ceasing to give a single shit and being completely done with everyone and everything after a while is a trope I will never get tired of.
This one scene made me want to watch the whole show and it was not a let down
Castlevania is great
MY MAN I ONLY SAID CASTLEVANIA IS GREAT AND I HAVE 570 LIKES
Its a fucking great show
U should I loved it so much
I thought the exact same thing
Wait, so this is what the show's like? Gotta go watch it now.
“You don’t make anything. You don’t live. You just eat and hide.”
I am become death, shitter of souls
100th like and that sounds like a line from name a heavy metal band
"Is there a point to this? Are you dictating your f*cking obituary to me wowb1965? I'm going to eat your soul, sh*t it out, and you use it to smother your f*cking girlfriend to death"
And smother of girlfriends
Why is Belmont describing me?
His body is a machine that turns souls into diarrhea
"Belmont im death itself for fucks sake, not some cliché super villain, i don't have time for fir your 2 episode long internal monologue about how your going to defeat me"
"To feed on the breath of everyone of you fuckers"😂😂😂
We need more villains who talks like him.
Edit: What I mean is a good written villian who use curse words nicely, not for sake of edginess.
It's hard to write a villain like that since swear words are cheap to use, literally speaking. But hey, do it anyway, maybe you'll fuck up, maybe you won't.
We need more CHARACTERS that speak like this
@@alexeipino3994 AMEN!
@@alexeipino3994 I agree since we don't have enough of them. Although be warned they may be mistaken as an edgy character. To me, edgy characters aren't bad, but most people I see don't like them.
@@My6119 I don't wanna come off as some redpilled loser but its Marvels fault. Edgy has become the new cringe, if a hero is even slightly serious hes considered Edgy, if a villain starts talking like Death ges considered Edgy and its said because some of the best well characters are Edgy. So many people are so used to heros and villains quipping, making stupid references and being "Relatable" and we miss out on cool shit like this. But it's not all bad again we have this version of death
Every sentence said from this guy, one half is poetic and the other half is a unhinged shit post.
Half of it is Shakespeare and the other half just consists of those Gangster Grim Reaper images with the Bad to the Bone Riff
He sounds so absolutely fucking done with everything. Perfect representation of the character, considering the character conflict he's talking about here.
Death is the embodiment of the "Sophisticated as Hell" trope. Everything out of his mouth is a weird amalgamation of typical dramatic villain speech and just sounding like an asshole, and I love it.
He is THAT ASSHOLE, and Malcolm McDowell did it perfectly

The way he talks genuinely tickles my brain
His voice and vibe, you'd expect him to speak shakespear but then he casually drops F bombs 😅
Tbf if Shakespeare were alive today, he’d probably be writing dialogue a lot like this lmao
It's like an inverted version of Discworld's death. Where Death in Diskworld's simple nature and straightforward views contrast and compliment his wise and respectful speech, like a war veteran comforting you on your death bed, Castlevania's death has the nihilistic and imposing visage we'd expect, immediately kicked aside for the most batshit immature yet still appropriate phrases ever uttered, the whiplash tantamount to a car crash.
Netflixvania Death you mean. He never talks like a Reddit user in the games.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 early sotn translations was a bit wonky but not as bad as netflixvania lmao
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475he kinda did in the spin off fighting game we dont talk about
I don't think it's inappropriate at all, though. He's not doing it to be edgy. He's doing it because he can't be fucked to care how he sounds. He's an eternal, immortal being arguing with what he sees as an ant. He's a parasite who literally doesn't have human initiative. Belmont was right: all he does is eat and hide. So he literally doesn't have the energy to give a shit. His entire manner is like a spider just waiting for the fly in its web to tire itself out. So of course he sounds exhausted. The very idea of giving a shit or taking initiative runs counter to his nature. And I think that makes him very unique compared to humanlike, emotionally driven villains like Dracula. Death is a force of nature who relies on inevitability - so he just waits for things to come to him.
my favourite line is probably the "Is there a Point to this? Are you dictating your fucking obituary to me Belmont?" because it just sums this scene and his character up. Death being so old he has gone past the "I've collected this vocabulary for centuries, So I will tell you about your gruesome death with words you don't understand" to a point where he just doesn't care about that anymore. You just know he tuned out what Trevor said to him before this line.
If he had a cellphone, he'd be playing cat videos while Trevor tries to be edgy broken hero man lmao
In close second is "I'm going to eat your soul, shit it out and then smother your girlfriend to death with it."
@@mackenziewoloschuk7375 I feel like he’d flip a coin and depending on the outcome either watch horrifying videos of machine shop accidents or cat videos and only gets pleasure out of the unexpected coin flip result
It also kind of feels like a snide implication that he's been paying attention to Trevor since the beginning.
He asks if Trevor is dictating his OWN obituary to him. And Trevor has been called out at least once before for spending his excommunication pulling his cloak over his face to avoid the shame of a renowned vampire hunter being seen drinking himself to death in some edge-of-civilization pub. Eating and hiding.
I guess he had his fair share of people trying to cheat him,starting with passionate speeches.
I had no idea until now that randomly inserting swears into lines could actually be funny
caliborn pfp commenting on a video about death :o
Likely juxtaposition.
I see you, filthy Homestuck
Yeah, it can be pretty fucking funny.
How could you not know that already but have Caliborn on your profile pic
He starts off every sentence sounding like he’s gonna say something profound or intimidating, but quickly devolves into a Reddit shitposter
Wich makes sense, because he's Death, de doesn't give a fuck
He always starts sentences with some profound and meaningful speech about something before devolving into madness and I love it lol
What I love so much about Death in this show is that he's so charismatic yet evil as sin!
Only Malcom McDowell
Hey a man’s gotta eat
never new Death was voiced by Malcolm McDowell, no wonder the voice sounded so familiar
He wasn't evil. Death is death you know.
damn, I thought it was Mark Hamill for a sec
@@silencia08 Wait, so you're telling me Dr Monty from CoD Zombies is Death?
What makes this Death work is that all the other villains in the show thus far have been nuanced, complex, even sympathetic. They are well spoken. The philosophy of why they do what they do often becomes the focus. For death to be like this, just plain evil with no depth, is a subversion of expectations.
He doesn't need "depth" he's just a force of nature literally.
subverting expectations done right
It is what it is
Everyone else has goals and dreams n shit, death is just death.
It makes sense, if you gave gravity a voice it wouldn't have anything profound to say, no grand motives or philosophy behind its existence or actions, it just is. No more depth than it merely existing and doing what the nature of its existence dictates it do.
Death if written by vizieppp
He still sounds so weirdly dignified while doing it too.
I absolutely love that they did this.
Death has always been depicted as some sort of "Holier than thou" force of nature. They could've easily made him just another fancy talking entity. But they decided to give him an actual personality.
Death literally cares for no one, so it makes sense that he reflects that in his speech. The fact the Trevor can partially relate to Death itself also made sense since he was in a similar mood before meeting Sypha lol
Someone hasn't read Discworld.
Actually give him a personality? He had one in the original games, especially Symphony of the Night. I love this show, but I'm tired of people ignoring its problems and trying to prop up every element so that they don't have to admit that it isn't some perfect masterpiece.
@@SefniAsheforr the problem being?
@@SefniAsheforr Glad not everyone who watched this shit can't speak and think for themselves.

This is not one of them
A lot of people hate this, saying its terrible writing and I guess they're right. But I don't care, I can't get over this, its so fucking funny every time I watch it that I honestly love it.
I mean, death would technically be ever present, so it makes sense that he just talks like a hateful guy from the future. It's probably more common down the road to talk how we do and it's less likely to change very much. Or maybe he just likes talking like that. I don't know, I wouldn't call this bad writing in any way. Let deities talk how they want lol
Who said it bad writing when this came out? I saw nothing but overwhelming praise
Good writing is writing that works. This death works really well
Yeah. And I guess it makes sense he talks like this. Remember, he ain't Death, he can die, he is more a giant ass parasite. With no respect for pretty much... anyone

I actually loved it, no modesty just a A$$hole and snarky, he had me crack up and trembling at the same time.
Castlevania is a beloved world of mine.
To be fair, Death is probably long since done and over with everyone's shit.
@@starbreaker6441 People are pretty exhausting. Plus I mean. They say some mean stuff when they're alive. The things they say when they have nothing left to lose is pretty rough
He just want the humans to die already, he is tired of their shit in and out... He doesn't care and that really reflects on his personality and actions
When he said. "Why is it that only human hands can reach into hell? I can't do it. Isn't that weirdly fucced up?" I don't think he was dissing humanity by saying they were the only true evil. I think he was saying Humans can be evil, but they're not the only evil out there. Yet hell seems to have a preference for punishing only them. I basically interpreted what he was saying as. "Isn't it fucked up that only humans can be considered evil? But not me?"
He does have a point though, Death (the mechanism, not the entity) is as neutral as you can get. Him feeding from death is like the bacteria in your body decomposing you after you die.
It’s still fucked up, and darkly hilarious
I took it as...he existed for a while so he just wants to destroy demons...but there are rules to these domains, and hell spawn isn't the domain of death
He's actually being quite literal here - the person he's talking to is _trying to resurrect the dead._ And that's something that only humans can attempt. Death himself can't even try. And I think he finds something poetically strange about that.
Though, his next line is something like "I can't do it. But _you_ can. In your human greed and human need, you could and would do _anything."_ So there's definitely an element of "humans can do this because of their ambition and greed and the power of their emotional attachments" as well.
@@davisdf3064 but hes not actualy death the concept hes a demon who feeds on living things as they pass on its just he was born first and so became assicoated with eath and took on its persona.
even its claim to be death itself is a ego stroking false hes just the oldest demon not even the strongest.
in reality it really is just a demonic parasite on the entire human race a tik we couldnt dig out.
that last one got my whole mouth full of water all over my screen. Dudes got ZERO chill
The thing is Death should know every language since he needs to talk to everyone. So him knowing modern English makes a lot of sense. I sorta imagine his words get auto translated into whatever your the language you know the best.
Death in the games "Woooooo! I am the Grim Reaper! Fear my late-game boss powers!"
Death in the show: "Piss off, Belmont, I'm on a schedule."
🤣
You know a villain is good when you kinda agree with them.
And I agree that truly is weirdly fucked up.
You're an incel. Get some help.
"Why is it that only Human hands can reach into Hell?💀"
"Don't you think that's weirdly fucked up?💀"
"I can't do it.💀"
That's one Helluva dialogue
“You don’t even create!”
“I made this pretty wicked-looking Scythe!”
I love how he always sounds just so absolutely done with the world's bullshit
Tbh, after all the events that unfolded. I think he was done
Like "you fuckers burnt the world not me"
Homeboy’s hitting new levels of hangry lmao
Death is literally my mood dealing with the mfs in my Family istg 😭😭🙏
He's bad to the bone
Ironically this is the most organic dialogue a villain could have
Wich sounds funny, 'Death sounds alive'
yes, death enjoy eating souls and harvesting them while they scream in pain, "is there a point to this?"
It makes sense. Dracula has hidden away in his castle for centuries so he didn't change his old timey way of speaking. Death, on the other hand, must be interacting with people all the time, and probably has a rather tough job to boot.
yes lmaoo

you realize that most people back then didn't speak in a formal and posh voice right? peasants wouldn't, the belmonts don't. death has met so many humans he's probably found his own way of speaking. if anything an eldritch horror doesn't need to make sense given context. eldritch horrors exist because they have no context therefore your point is null and void.

"Are you dictating your fucking obituary to me, Belmont?"
Hot damn is that a radical line.
Death and Trevor’s fight has the dialogue of a drunken bar brawl where both sides are sure they’re owed money by the other
Classy Death be like: "I shall consume thine soul, excrete it, then proceed to use the resulting waste in smothering thine beloved one."
People hating on this missed the point.
He's literally death, he's been here for millennia and do you think he'd give a shit about being polite and elegant in his speech?
Edit: wow its a warzone in my replies :D
He probably started off that way, but gave it up when people stopped listening to him
The funny and (kinda) realistic part about this is Swearing is pretty much a sin to God (accdg to Bible of course) even in the exorcist, the demon is dropping F-bombs like no tomorrow.
It actually thematically fits that he speaks that way.
What’s funny is that since he is the most evil being in the universe he would obviously have the most vile dialect ever
“Fuck do these donkey fuckers think I care about their opinions of how I choose to talk while railing their mothers?”
@@DeathkaiserG That is a common misconception. Swearing is not a sin
Well if I was immortal since the dawn of time and had to listen to millenia of souls whine, I would definitely skip the formality all together too.
Just remember that the guy who voiced this character is the same guy who played Alex DeLarge in "A Clockwork Orange".
Rudeness is weak mans imitation of strength
Death would totally be the type of bad guy to say "Shut the fuck up".
The embodiment of the “Well, just f*cking kill me then” meme
This is actually a good interpretation of the Castlevania's death. He is either Galanoth or Dracula's bitch. So why should he continue to act like a butler when infact he's a walmart employee who just went AWOL.
Every single 'fucking' is absolutely perfect
the comment i've been looking for
Death talking like this actually got me by surprise, I actually enjoyed it ngl
"are you just dictating your fucking obituary to me" is such a good line bro, if I ever get monologued to, that's my response
He clearly has the ability to talk poetically, he demonstrates that in the first clip. He isn’t doing this because he can’t speak poetically, he’s doing this because he’s simply just like that
This version of death just seems so fucking done with the job cause people make it unnecessarily hard by trying to fight death literally
Except he’s not really death.
I kinda like it for him. It gives the vibe that he’s so ancient and powerful that he has neither the need nor desire to act grandiose.
There’s no show of power, just power. Besides, why be polite to people you consider food?
Exactly, he's just an old hungry man
Would you talk to a Hamburger?
@@Ixidora I would 100% swear to a hamburger
@@Ixidora Well it's a Hamburger that talks
I mean, after enough talking hamburgers, you probably get used to it.
As a fan of the games since childhood, I absolutely _dig_ this version of Death. Everything from his design, to his voice, to his characterization is absolute perfection. I was worried for a while that we wouldn't get to see him in the show, but he didn't disappoint. I also like that they flipped the dynamic between him and Dracula, although I never minded that he was only number 2 in the games. It made a lot more sense within the context of the show, however.
Yeah, it made sense that sure, Death is also extremely powerful, but he lacks Dracula's charisma and wit, which make it possible to organize the plan. So rather than having him be subservient, Death just follows Dracula because Dracula can make his wish a reality.
