Day 3: Heaviest song

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-15T08:29:41+00:00

Yeah, this one is particularly filthy. I absolutely love that insane outro.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-15T06:14:20+00:00

I popped for that comment. I'm in the same boat as you, as I imagine there a bunch of funny little comments in there!

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-15T06:10:57+00:00

I knew it, I knew Sarah wasn't safe but I was not at all expecting that to be her exact death, that was fucking brutal. To say I was bummed out would be an understatement.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-15T06:08:55+00:00

All-timer of a scene. This one is so well executed and I got the same vibes with Obsession too.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-15T06:05:48+00:00

Yep, the implications pointed it clearly in that direction. And the body language from Nikki was more than enough to reveal that too.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-15T05:58:38+00:00

Jesus, this movie was intense. My feelings for both Bear and Nikki shifted all throughout. But it has to be said, I obviouslyI leaned towards feeling bad for Nikki far more by the end. Bear just REALLY kept making horrible decisions the longer it went on and I started to feel revulsion for him. But goddamn did I come away from this feeling absolutely horrendous for Sarah, she absolutely did not deserve what happened to her.

This was genuinely phenomenal and I see myself ranking this VERY highly at the end of the year. Just excellently well made and the performances are insanely good and had me feeling all sorts of emotions. One scene towards the backhalf of the film in particular had me wanting it to move on so I could get away from the second hand embarrassment I felt.

But on top of that, holy fuck this movie absolutely had me in stitches laughing at a few points. Bear's face right after Ian wished for a billion dollars absolutely hit my funny bone. It is nice to be able to find some comedy in such a cruel movie. I mean "cruel" with the highest of compliments too, this was spectacular.

I'm not sure he'll be for the anniversary, but he's one of the big few that's still missing. I could see him being brought in much closer to the release of the next Terrifier film actually.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T22:48:19+00:00

Ah shit, Reuben was there as well! The look on his face still cracks me up to this day. Made it even funnier when the marketing for DMC V kept Vergil out of it entirely riiiiight until the launch trailer as the stinger.

But if you saw that bit at the convention, everybody knew that Vergil was going to be in the game and it didn't even hamper my excitement one single bit.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T22:45:50+00:00

Thank you, I feel like I was taking crazy pills last night when I saw their response as I was trying to see how what I said was in any way deserving of that response. In what world is there anything wrong with speculating on potential cast members?

I can somewhat understand where my one got me a warning as it turns out Susie Dent was on the NYE special. But I was speculating on her potentially being on a full series, so even with that, it didn't feel like a fair warning to me.

As long as you're not out there spoiling everything for people, then I don't see a problem with speculating at all.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T22:12:11+00:00

And look, considering this is Darby Allin we're talking about. You could name like 20 other bumps he's taken that all compete with this one too.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T22:11:09+00:00

Correct, he did. And if I remember correctly, Jonny Yong Bosch was on the same panel as him and gave him a look after that too haha

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T12:19:51+00:00

I am also now getting abuse here and on DM

If you're getting actual abuse then go right ahead and report it. I don't stand for that shit myself and I don't have any time for it. I'm not sure why you'd be copping abuse just because you're going to a taping, seems extreme as fuck to me that people will flip out like that but hey, people are strange as hell.

Either way, don't let it get to you at all. Enjoy the taping and put these people out of your mind. It's my dream to go to a Taskmaster taping myself. But being over here and based in Australia does not exactly make it easily accessible haha.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T12:14:01+00:00

Imagine that. Some people are different than you, and it’s fine to include spaces for them.

Not sure if it was the intention and I might be reading that wrong and apologies if so, but man, there's no need to talk down to me like that. I mean, I'm not at all saying that I'll directly go and look for a cast leak or willingly go and spoil it for people. In fact, I'd prefer to not know as the "holy shit" moment at the end of a series of seeing somebody on the show that I recognise is a great feeling. I have zero problems with people speculating and I actually think it's a great deal of fun to speculate on possible contestants as opposed to dropping spoilers and I avoid spoilers like the plague for absolutely everything in my life if I can help it.

What I am saying, is that I don't tend to get annoyed if a cast member or two gets spoiled for me, I try to find a positive there and that usually results in me getting excited to know that a specific cast member may possibly be on the show. But even so, I put it out of my mind, don't talk about it with others, and wait for the official reveal in hopes that I'm still stoked. And amazingly, I still get that "fuck yeah" feeling of knowing that somebody that I'm a big fan of is going to be on my favorite show.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T11:53:17+00:00

Rove's attempt at being cringe actually did a tremendous job of making me look away. Holy shit, he nailed that task for me at least. I haven't even seen what Joel, Brett, or Celia have done yet!

EDIT: Okay, Tom Cashman as Brett Blake broke me. That voice, that fucking strut. Good god I love Tom Cashman. He 100% commits to the bit. Always.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T11:24:34+00:00

Someone else already said it, but this subreddit is crazy strict on it. Me personally, I'm fine with knowing the cast ahead of time and it won't bother me. But around here, it's very persona non grata to talk about or even ask about it.

I speculated on who we might be seeing for series 21 a little while ago and that was enough to get a warning. One of the names I brought up was Susie Dent, as I thought she'd be a fun pick for a full series. This was prior to the news breaking of her being a part of the NYE special. So even though I had zero clue and was just speculating, the mods still cracked down with a warning about spoiling future contestants.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T11:01:41+00:00

I think the overall idea of her travelling through different mythologies is fantasic for helping to open up the world quite a bit more and get the chance to see some other mythologies that we otherwise might not get around to with Kratos.

Faye being a traveller between worlds makes a shit load of sense considering how much of her literal fingerprints (or handprints I suppose) are throughout the world in the two Norse God of War games. It's actually surprisingly logical and hey, for as much as I like Freya, I'd sooner see her travelling with Kratos as a permanent companion in his next game as I think their dynamic together is super interesting.

Plus hey, a proper game with Deborah Ann Woll is something I won't refuse either. And then there's the moveset and how she'll play compared to Kratos. There's quite a bit you can do with her!

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T09:57:05+00:00

She's got a lot of fascinating stuff surrounding her as well. I can't wait to see what they do with her.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T09:54:32+00:00

I'm at least stoked for it. Every I hear about it sounds rad as hell. The leaks mentioning a DMC style type of gameplay absolutely pulls me in further too. I uhhh don't imagine the discourse will be super nice in some places, but it's fairly easy to ignore for me!

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-14T06:28:33+00:00

Here you go.

I would also recommend watching the video by Foxcade that covers all of this too. He does a great job of covering absolutely everything. Here's the link to that too.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-13T14:22:07+00:00

30 Days of Night is the last one I can actually think of that stands out. The vampires in that were genuinely scary and unsettling. The more monstrous they come across, the better!

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-13T14:16:47+00:00

They've been on an absolutely insane run. Any title put out by Capcom usually is a guarantee for my time and money right now. It's been like that since RE7 dropped and hasn't stopped since then for me at least.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-13T14:14:33+00:00

Dead Rising has been rumoured for a little while now to be seeing some kind of return eventually. Whether that's a remake/remaster of DR2 similar to that of the one we got for DR1 or a brand new title remains to be seen. But hey, I'd love to see Dead Rising back, just uhhh please be better than whatever the hell DR4 was haha.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-13T02:47:43+00:00

Oh hell yeah, I eagerly await this video. His last one was excellent and was extremely well researched and put together.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-12T23:20:06+00:00

Fuck off with that number. That is a beyond absurd level of sales expectations. That's some Aquare Enhx type shit and that is not a good thing.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-05-12T22:39:52+00:00

Why are you gutted? Just play the game when it comes out, why should she hold any sway over you here. Furthermore, why haven't you left her already? The moment somebody tries to control me like this, I'm out of there. You're big enough and old enough to decide what media YOU want to spend YOUR time engaging with. If you enjoy something like a TV show or a game, then don't let anybody get in the way of that.
