Wasted Potential Ep.2 - Netflix Castlevania (Uncensored)
Unlike my W.P. Game Of Thrones video, I'd thought to try a subtly different approach to this video. I had meant to have this video ready for release last month, but more pressing matters required my attention as well as the time it took for me to edit this in Shotcut and redo the audio in Audacity nearly 4 times. I do profusely apologise for the jarring audio at certain points of the video.
I take no pleasure in speaking negatively of this show or the people involved and I have tried, but failed to remain neutral in this video.
In truth... I utterly despise both this show and its writer as it's both a mockery to my favourite video game series and an insult in good writing. If you're a fan of this show, you will find my thoughts on this show... biasedly unpleasant.
Before this, at one point, I forgot who Warren Ellis was and after seeing this show, I wish it stayed that way. I now understand how the Star Wars/Star Trek/The Witcher/etc. fans feel at this point.
All credits are in the video itself. If I've missed any please let me know so that I can add them as well.
