Allow me to tell you a story. It's a story about two worlds - supposedly identical (but not really) until one key event. In the story's aberrant, yet paradoxically primary world, a villain causes mass death and devastation before being killed by a hero. The lasting impact of this event is the corruption of most of the world's heroes; most notably, the primary hero, the leader, the traditional symbol of hope in the setting (that stupid people think is bland and uninteresting) as well as his ancient princess girlfriend. A few heroes remain uncorrupted and are able to restore two of their friends to their old selves and recruit a former enemy fr

Hello and welcome to Wasted Plotential, the show where we discuss the wasted potential of our favourite plotlines. I hit upon a certain realisation while making the A Line Through Time episode on DmC. Looking back on, specifically, the encounter with Poison - you know, the most meme-orable scene in the game, where not a single line of dialogue isn't the very height of cringe? - I realised that this Dante is written like he's trying to imitate the real Dante's whit. Not the writers trying to imitate it; but the character himself. And that's when it hit me. Imagine how much better the plot of the game could have been, had this Dante turned ou

<cover ft. dante> Nice Try. Welcome to A LINE THROUGH T⌛ME, where I take the time to look through your favourite franchises and work out how it all lines up. This time, we're discussing Capcom's baffling blunder of a reboot, DmC. If you want to see me discuss the real Devil May Cry, here's a separate video for you to check out. I work out how old Dante is in that one. Before we really get started, though, I need to make one thing clear: no, DmC is not a canonical prequel to the main series. It's a separate continuity. If you think otherwise, you're an idiot. Dante's weapons are completely different. The world the game takes pla

"Devil May Cry 5." "The time has came and so have I."Welcome to A LINE THROUGH T⌛ME, where I take the time to look through your favourite franchises and work out how it all lines up. It's been a while since I talked about Devil May Cry in a fan-made Game Theory episode that ultimately spawned this show. A video that pissed off a lot of people for "Ripping off MatPat", because that's what presenting my own theory and research in his style as a tribute is, right? I've been waiting for Itsuno-san's announcement since last January to decide when best to do this video, but Sony apparently refused to show the DMC5 trailer at PSX, forcing us

Hello and welcome to Wasted Plotential, the show where we discuss the wasted potential of our favourite plotlines. There were a number of revelations made in the bios and arcade endings of Mortal Kombat 2011. They mostly don't have any impact on the series' plot, and that's probably for the best because most of them are just dreadful. From Smoke being some kind of amnesiac/reincarnated demon, to Johnny Cage being descended from a warrior cult, to Kung Lao being the reincarnation of the Great Kung Lao (despite that being impossible). But the one addition that I wholeheartedly support being canonical is the revelation about the creation of Erm
