AMERICAN POLITICS? IN MY DEVIL MAY CRY??!!??
To be quite honest (and adding this to the post I just reblogged) the only thing that sets Nero and Dante (and Sparda) apart from the other demons (and Vergil) is just that they have someone / something they care about.
I mean, look a bit closer:
You have this inhumanly powerful guys, who likely will get shunned by humans usually because they stand out, are different, are scary… who live a much more dangerous life in general because every damn demon is gonna be after them… who live much longer than a human (at least in Sparda’s case)… who lost their family or never had family to begin with…
That gotta break even the most positive and kind person down some day.
Look, I would totally get if those guys just stopped caring about the world at large at some point. Because this “shitshow” called life keeps repeating itself. Because no matter how much you try, the next demon follows up the one you just cut down. Nobody ever thanks you for helping them out. It’s infuriating. It’s exhausting. Because sometimes humans are just as bad as demons, in their hunt for power (and, especially, the power of Sparda).
They don’t want anything to do with it anymore, just give them a break.
You see it in Dante’s attitude back in DMC 3 – that’s not just snarky banter and witty comebacks, he seems downright bitter and pissed a lot of the time. “I don’t have a father, I just really don’t like you.” – “You show your thanks by shooting me? Whatever, do as you please.”
Because at this point in time, Dante’s been alone for years, and there’s nobody he openly cares about anymore. He climbs Temen-ni-gru because some part of him thinks it’s his duty to clean up Sparda’s mess and stop Vergil, but he’s neither enthusiastic nor passionate about it.
There’s only a change in attitude, a hint of care the moment Lady is open with him after their fight and then keeps standing by his side after everything is over.
That later extends to Trish, Lucia and Morrison (and, if they keep her, Patty Lowell). Dante doesn’t fight for humanity as a whole – he does his job, takes out demons (especially those after his father’s power, because he sees that as his duty) and apart from that, will fight for the few people who earned his respect and love.
It’s the same for Nero – orphan, not welcome in the Order at large, likely eyed suspiciously in the whole city because he is a stranger to them – he only cares about Kyrie, whom he loves, and Credo, who was brother and friend to him. Nobody else. He doesn’t show any hint of care for Sanctus getting shot in the head in front of everyone, he only moves to kill the demons attacking people when Kyrie throws herself in front of others…
Basically, the Sparda descendants don’t give a damn about saving the world (despite Dante’s grand speech how you don’t get the opportunity to save the world every day) or humanity at large – they only fight and care for a selected few people. That’s their whole driving force. They are not heroes with a large heart who would sacrifice themselves selflessly at every turn – nope, especially Nero would likely have walked away if he didn’t know the victim of an attack.
Doesn’t mean they are not good people! They are, once you get the honor of being important to them. Then they would do everything for you.
It’s just that they are so used to being alone, being damaged, that it takes a while to even get a place in their heart, you see.
(Not to mention that they are also part demon, which is a race not exactly known for love, care and selflessness. We probably can’t even fully measure them with human standards and morales.)
Always wanted to put one of those on my blog~🎶

Long. Heartless. Jolting.
Am I.. a horny snake? Or an aggressive hagfish?
No. Most likely I'm a literal Heartless from Kingdom Hearts 😔🤌
“Living weapon” covers a lot and all of it is hot
Even if Capcom didn't plan anything with the writing and Project W wasn't a thing until RE5, I still love the fact that the reveal recontextualizes Wesker's line to Chris in RE1:
It's meant to be all smug he's like "I've always been with Umbrella 😏" But now knowing Wesker's backstory it's quite a sad and ironic line. Like he really has always been with Umbrella... This is one of my roman empires my guy thought he was chilling as Dr. Frankenstein when instead, he was actually Frankenstein's monster.
"I think I've been shadowbanned:(("
