Devil May Cry - PlayStation2 Save Icons

The major reason Dante and Vergil's rivalry works better than almost any other take on the trope is because the games are totally self aware about how dumb and immature the whole trope is and they lean way the hell into it. Like yeah, there's real stakes, turmoil and emotional wounds between them that drive their eternal conflict but at the same time it's pretty obvious that the real reason they fight all the time is because they're both just the biggest goddamn children on the planet.

It really is just playground bickering elevated to apocalyptic proportions by sheer virtue of them both being demigods.

Also have it w orange contrast lighting, couldn’t decide which one I likes more 🤷‍♀️

Almost every person I've seen highly praising the new Netflix DMC adaptation has almost always followed by saying, "I've never played the games" or "I've only DMC 5"

And that tells me everything I need to know

DMC3 Dante getting Devil Trigger: Loses a fight and is stabbed through the chest by Vergil as a final statement of where their relationship lies. A permanent line drawn in the sand as his own brother, his only family left, rips the last memento from their mother off his neck and leaves him for dead in this mad bid for power.

Ninja Theory Dante getting Devil Trigger: Literally breaks the last chain that locked away his childhood memories of what really happened to his mother and how he ended up alone. An image of his late mother apologizes for not being able to protect him and hopes this power grants him the freedom he's been hunting for his whole life.

Netflix Dante getting his Devil Trigger: He fell out of an aired plane and got weally scawed. :(
