>i am incapable of detecting subtlety
The scene of the demon talking to the priest and the holy water of the priests that werent thugs working should be enough to show you what they are trying to imply.
The point was that the local clergy was corrupt and power hungry, earned the haate of both god and dracula, so wasnt protected by god when things happened.
You can see a difference in clothing between the thughs and the actual priests, religion at large isnt muh ebil, nor is the catholic faith, but the clergy of wallachia was corrupted and abandoned god.
>even if that was the message they wanted to give it just doesn't show
Because people nowadays cant catch subtlety for shit.
You need huge lights and fireworks and everything explained to you, if they wanted to say that religion was bad and christianism was bullshit, the moments where faith and religion triumphed over evil wouldnt be there at all.
>would mean they made small allusions toward the fact
Wich is precisely what they did, specially the lengthy part of the demon speaking with the corrupt priest.
He goes on a lenghty explanation as to why the acts of the corrupt clergy had disgusted god, therefor stating that god is good in nature and protect those loyal to him, indicated by the holy water being actually effective in the first place, along with silver and salt.
>They only did it because they shat on God and Religion
But they did not, again, the priests that made the holy water were part of the official clergy, not the armed thughs that the corrupt wallachians had running things, and god is painted with a possitive light.
Trevor at the beggining is extremely butthurt about being excomunicated, but by chapter 4 you can see him acting heroic and using actual holy tools.
>All of this could be done with cultists that have nothing to do with the church, as it was in the games.
Are you implying that this kind of bullshit did not happen in real life?
Tht corrupt clergy trying to gain more control was inexistant?
Things dont need to be constantly fellating religion and the organized church to have religion painted in a positive light, the facts are there in the series, god is good, he cares for those loyal to him and faith has actual power against evil, whilre the decadent and corrupt disgust god and eventually pay for their sins.
Also
>All of this could be done with cultists that have nothing to do with the church
Forgetting order of ecclesia are we?
And im sure there are more instances of this through the games.
>God is barely mentioned except by the fucking demon at the end and by the church guys.
Therefore disproving that religion is evil you dumb, butthurt bastard, they are obviusly trying to imply that the clergy of wallachia was corrupt and angered both god and dracula.
>While in the other 3 chapters he didn't have a problem badly hurt if not straight killing people.
Wich im sure he will do more of in the future, since he never attacked a person just because, in all instances he was either protecting somebody or getting attacked first.
>This is a really fucking shitty adaption more than anything, and you're a fedora yourself for defending it.
Im actually a practicing christian, homever im not a zealot and i analyze shit before jumping to conclusions and shitting on things like a monkey because he got triggered.
>Ecclesia is a fucking cult
Funded by the god dammed church to fight dracula after the belmonts stopped being around to constantly kill his ass.
Depends, do you want more metroidvanias or try the classics?
>Have the whole show revolve around priests being bad
>BUT RELIGION IS NOT BAD!
Yes you dense fuck, because god actually protects the faithfull and punishes the corrupt, the peasants that listened to trevor and followed the faithfull clergy survived and also learned how to fight the monsters.
>Which is the whole fucking church
You DENSE motherfucker, it sure as fuck isnt, as the clergymen that bless the water obviusly show.
They are not random fucks, they are clerygymen that have nothing to do with the corrupt wallachian clergy and therefore dress diferently and walk around without any weapons.
Are you forgetting that the people that blessed the water were, as trevor said, properly appointed?
The thugs were thughs dressed as monks working for the corrupt clergy that lusted for power, not proper catholics.
> it was a random nobody
It was an actually appointed by the vatican, pius and faithfull priest, therefore showing that the problem is the corrupt wallachian church, wich also shows when the glass shard kills the archbishop, as he was corrupt and god did not protect him from his fate.
>Are you a priest
Wich wasnt that, stop spreading misinformation.
Trevor asked for a properly appointed priest, something wich that priest was, unlinke the thughs working for the bishop.
>The arcbishop was THE representative of the vatican
Who was fucking corrupt, therefore getting killed too, while the pius were saved.
>How is that different, you fucking fuck.
You are seriusly dense if you cant note the difference.
The "priests" we had seen thus far werent even real priests, hence why trevor asked for an actual, proper priest, you cant notice things for shit.
>This priest is bad because he is from the church™!
>This priest is good because he is not from the church™!
They are both part of the church, but the ones dressed in brown werent actual priests and were corrupt, power hungry thughs, while the more traditional priests were actually pius and were thus blessed by god.
>oh my god you dont parrot my own opinion, youre a leftist and whatever the hell i feel like implying!
Thanks for making any kind of argument with you fruitless.
How about we just get nice whip physics and combos instead while using items like in the classicvanias?
