"Why did they have to show the deer?" Cause this show is AWESOME at showing what teleporting mass would ACTUALLY look like. I leads to THE BEST WTF moment I've almost ever seen.
There's a story from one of the crusades. A muslim was treating a wounded crusaders leg, and it seemed to be getting better. A christian came in, refused to listen to the heathen, and declared the leg must be amputated. He had an axeman chop the leg off. The patient died soon after. Knowledge lost from petty religious squabbles.
The greeks figured out a lot before the wars came and the church suppressed knowledge. It took a long time for people to rediscover how to make concrete
Dracula wasn't fond of humans before Lisa died, but he didn't do anything about them - yet he has always been aware of humans being sentient beings, unlike other vampires, who see humans as nothing but food. You can't have a distinct feeling toward a bunch of cattle that is just squirming around in your eyes. Dracula is different from that. That is why he was able to love a human. That is also why he is able to hate them.
Just to point out, Hector and Isaac are not Alchemists. They are Forgemasters. They make night creatures. You shouldnt underestimate either of them, theres a reason those 2 are the only humans in Dracula's court.
@@thecritic860 IMO they should have combined seasons 3 & 4 and then cut out half of it. Because it dragged heavily in both seasons. (at least it ended strong)
I absolutely wish that Castlevania would get a Final Fantasy 7 Remake quality level remake. Too bad Konami stopped bothering to make good video games after they broke up with Hideo Kojima.
Alucard is literally Dracula backwards which his why I goes by that name to opposite his father. And I realized that when Lisa was burning to the stake I have a feeling she was talking to her Son but a may be wrong 🤔
I think she was talking to Dracula. She was the one thing stopping him from going crazy. And definitely didn't want him going on a rage because of her death.
During this time period (1500s-1600s) there was a sort of stalemate and regression in technology and medicine, during these times because the govt. system (feudalism) and the inclusion of the church who admittedly had way too much power for a religious entity caused a ton of power imbalances and created a big regression in the dark ages. Where in the far past thousands of years before Greek, Roman, Chinese, and Muslims scholars were wayyyy more advance with generally everything(i.e. Government, Medicine, Aqueducts, learning institutes, space discovery, philosophy, and so much more)
A short list of the accomplishments from this allegedly dark era in European science includes: William of Saint-Cloud’s work on solar eclipses, Dominican friar Dietrich von Freiberg’s discoveries about rainbows, Jean Buridan’s application of impetus theory to explain projectile motion, free-fall acceleration, and the rotation of the night sky. Bishop Nicole Oresme argued, in his youth, for the rotation of the earth, though there was not then either empirical evidence or conclusive rationale arguments for the idea. Meanwhile, at Oxford, natural philosophers were applying mathematics to the study of motion. We now know that science happened throughout the Middle Ages at places like Oxford, where a university was founded in or about 1096 CE (though legend puts it at 872). Universities were also founded at Bologna and Paris before 1200 CE. By 1500, there were about 60 of these institutions seeded around Europe, with about 30 percent of the curricula dedicated to the study of the natural world. The organization that was the greatest supporter and underwriter of the development of these institutions was… wait for it… the Catholic Church. Historian John Heilbron (best known for his histories of physics), wrote: The Roman Catholic Church gave more financial and social support to the study of astronomy for over six centuries, from the recovery of ancient data in the late Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, than any other, and probably all, other institutions. - The Sun in the Church, Harvard University Press, 1999. Michael Shank-professor emeritus of the history of science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison-notes in Galileo Goes to Jail that the discovery of the Church’s role in funding these early universities has been met with the argument that, of course, the students at these schools were monks or priests chiefly studying theology. According to school records, however, this was not the case. Most students had no theological subjects at all. Yes, there were clerics at some universities studying theology, but this required the taking of vows, for one thing, and a Master of Arts course of study for another. Indeed, some universities didn’t even have a theological faculty, so only “secular” studies were taught. The point is easily missed that even if most scholars were studying “the queen of sciences” (theology) along with astronomy, natural history and mathematics at the behest of the Catholic Church, that would undermine any notion that the Church saw natural philosophy as something to be eschewed by Christians. Thousands of scholars (Professor Shank cites a figure of around 250,000 in Germany alone, beginning in 1350 CE) were learning the latest in scientific knowledge-whether clerics or laymen. The Church not only permitted this, but encouraged and funded it. But were there instances in which theologians came into conflict with these universities? Certainly. For some reason, this happened a number of times with the University at Paris and the local bishop who, at one point, also fell into disagreement with his Aristotelean colleague, Thomas Aquinas. In fact, it seems to have required a papal bull (Parens scientiarum or “mother of science”) to uphold the university curriculum against the Parisian bishops. In 20/20 hindsight, the danger of imputing the actions of local authorities to “the Church” or “Christianity” should be obvious. It allows for the creation of a mythology that fosters prejudice and irrationality and gives a skewed view of the historical relationship between science and religion. In general, the Church-as an institution-did not suppress science, but rather promoted it.
@@houseofaction Obligatory note: The original version of the Big Bang theory was made by a Catholic Priest, his original theory was rejected by the church because they felt it held too much to dogma and doctrine over scientific evidence. That's right, they initially rejected the theory because they thought it was too religious. The idea of the church, and religion, smothering scientific development in a modern one, one I find is often tied to the modern religious movements that do reject scientific evidence. But most religions, and the Catholic church in particular, have always favored scientific study, even today. Its that people outside the church and nobility were often uneducated, because it was expensive and books were costly investments.
@@houseofaction never said that the church didn't contributed technological wise (or in general) but compared to the golden age of India (4th-6th century) or the The Islamic Golden Age (which started at 622 AD a lil under a 1000 years) or the Tang Dynasty (started around 618, which could be debated with the song dynasty coming right after in the year 900) it really doesn't compare to creations of things like paper, gunpowder, the Chinese civil service examination (which is why I said feudalism was big problem for Europe as well) and democracy. The church defiantly did a lot of good things but there's a reason it's called the Dark Ages of Europe.
@@ORIGNALRECIPE except no actual educated academic calls it the 'Dark Ages of Europe'. There are many problems and shifts in structure in Europe, but a dark age is a misconception populist by renaissance thought. I don't have the time, or patience, to go into all the nuances of what actually happened unfortunately.
Guys, I'm so stoked you're doing these reactions. But please watch this timeline recap of all of the Castlevania games. It'll give you guys an edge into the lore and small details of the series that makes this show so amazing. ruclips.net/video/yxgQDHN7EVU/видео.html
I cant decide if i love or hate Hector or Issacs characters in this. (Spoilers Bellow!!! from both the shows entire series, and Castleania curse of darkness game that the characters are from.) I mean... having played the game they are from.. the really changed both of them. Hector was the playable "hero" of that game. and they kinda screw him hard in this show. So in both the game and show, Hector betrayed dracula, but in the show, he was tricked into it like a moron, and made a vampires bitch for the rest of the damn series. In the game, he had enough of Draculas mindless killing and just betrayed him. Abandoning his roll as forgemaster and general, which lead to helping Trevor defeat Dracula. He renounces his dark powers and leads a normal happy life with his wife. Till issac has her killed. As for how strong he is. Hector was able to defeat Issac, and was Draculas favorite of the two. He even beat Trevor as well in a fight. In the show he tried to kill a vampire bare handed like an idiot and got his naked ass beat around his cell for it. Not once did he even have a chance to fight anyone because he was such a bitch and couldnt do anything by himself combat wise. On the other hand, in the show, Issac kills several vampires, and thousands of others, wiping out entire towns with his power and is able to fight head on with enemies that are clearly way stronger than he is as a human. He would have destroyed Issac in a fight. As for issac otherwise.. In the show... hes not even remotely like in the game. first of all. Hes now a calm cool black dude instead of a bondage loving redhead psycho. Instead of being hell bent on revenge and eviving dracula, he has no interest in reviving him.. which was the entire point of his characters plan in the game, and he was wanting to do so using Hector as a host. Instead, in the show, its hector who wants to bring back dracula because he regrets his actions, a complete flip for the 2. Just really weird how they went about them in the show. Doing Hector dirty.... shows Issac is way better though.

I love how quickly Kacee went from "WTF is that monstrosity" to "How dare you kick the poor innocent zombie pug, Godbrand?!"
"Character development"
*undead pug exist*
Kacee: what a horrible creature, kill it with fire.
*Godbran kick undead pug*
Kacee: Leave that precious creature alone!
"Why did they have to show the deer?" Cause this show is AWESOME at showing what teleporting mass would ACTUALLY look like. I leads to THE BEST WTF moment I've almost ever seen.
No DBZ friendly "instant transmission" here
Hector is Greek and Isaac is Middle Easterner/Moorish/European. Their names make sense
Isaac is my favorite character of the show. He sneaks up on you and before you know it, you absolutely love him.
Hector and Lenore being a married couple for all of season 4 was amazing lol.
@@smocloud agreed
@@smocloud If she had giving it a try, maybe she can live with Hector in the new era.
There's a story from one of the crusades. A muslim was treating a wounded crusaders leg, and it seemed to be getting better. A christian came in, refused to listen to the heathen, and declared the leg must be amputated. He had an axeman chop the leg off. The patient died soon after. Knowledge lost from petty religious squabbles.
Now just to clarify something, Alucard is a Dhampir, a race of people born from the union of a human and a vampire.
Yep, seems like he gets all the perks without the downsides of being a vampire.
The greeks figured out a lot before the wars came and the church suppressed knowledge.
It took a long time for people to rediscover how to make concrete

I think FMA:B was still on their minds at the time lol.
YaBoyRoshi just posted their Castlevania S4 penultimate episode reaction. The whole episode was pure hype!!! Can't wait for these two to get there 😂
Just watched that ish. Did not dissapoint.
Ahh, the episode I’ always waiting for others to see, a true delight. That and season 2 ep7 and season 4 ep6
Too bad most of season 3 and season 4 are really bad.
Sorry to say, but I must disagree with you on that. They weren’t as good as season two, but they were no where near bad.
@@thecritic860 IMO they should have combined seasons 3 & 4 and then cut out half of it. Because it dragged heavily in both seasons. (at least it ended strong)
A little fun fact. Godbrand the viking vampire is played by Peter Stormare. One of my countrymen. 😉
"It's not magic, but sciences lost to time."
"I think it's the church keeping them from the people--"
Do you not know what 'lost to time' means 😂
Anthony's giggle gets me every time. I never expect it to come from that beard.
I absolutely wish that Castlevania would get a Final Fantasy 7 Remake quality level remake. Too bad Konami stopped bothering to make good video games after they broke up with Hideo Kojima.
They gave up BEFORE, that's why he left...
Bloodstained is a thing...I guess. It's pretty decent
You guys are going to love Isaac so damn much. He steals the show for many of us.
Isaac and Hector are forgemasters! They’re faaaar stronger than humans, and on par with vampires!
Hooray! I was literally just thinking I hope another Castlevania reaction was gonna come out soon.
I love seeing this through the eyes who have no idea about the games etc.
Are you guys really unaware that is seriously based on a video game from 1985 Castlevania on Nintendo Entertainment System
Cutest zombie dog ever
Alucard is literally Dracula backwards which his why I goes by that name to opposite his father.
And I realized that when Lisa was burning to the stake I have a feeling she was talking to her Son but a may be wrong 🤔
I think she was talking to Dracula. She was the one thing stopping him from going crazy. And definitely didn't want him going on a rage because of her death.
The animation literally only gets better also Alucard is just Dracula backwards lazy anagram lol
Lazy anagram..maybe but can be used well like Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.
@@glitchfamous8308 Plus it's just a cool sounding name.
Wait till you see issac's back story and you will understand and probably agree with his stance on humanity.
3 weeks since the last Clone Wars reaction! Y'all forget???
Isaac best boy

Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards
Alucard: draculA
"It's funny how none of these waffle muchers ever put it together that Alucard spelled backwards is..." shout out to Hellsing Ultimate Abridged
You have a pug?!? I have a pug mix! (Pug/Jack Russell) and my mom has a pure Pug. I love them!
Awwww I wanna see your pug 🐶
Dashing Boy Issac and Hector is here 😁
Castlevania is done, this generation of it anyway. I've not actually played the games, but I do know they follow multiple generations of Belmont.
You guys are gonna lose your minds at the season 4 finale 😆
Kacee you are the most georgeous youtuber ❤
thanks for reaction

Its more like necromancy than alchemy.
Great reaction!
Ayeee nice reaction, can’t wait to see y’all reaction to 2x7, that episode is by far had one on the best animated fight scenes I’ve ever scene🤩😌
Yay Pugs!
"your lie in april " reaction please ❤️
Guys.....curb the freakouts and fake laughter. just be natural and contemplate what you're watching. for this and every show. and listen.
Where the timestamps at? :/

Its pretty rude to say you have a Pug but not pick them up and show them to the camera. Pictures are simply not enough
smh
👍📺👀
First maybe? Yay
