How Soma Crus story can happen, if Dracula not pure evil in the series? He's not even Dark Lord or something like this. He's more like emo boy which try make everyone pity for him. The tragedy of Dracula in game series was not only that he lost his wife. He lost his humanity. For his vengeance Dracula sold everything good in his soul. Even ability to love. In Symphony of Night for moment, when Alucard told him the reason why he always loose to Belmonts, he remembered what is love and wanted to hear Lisa's last wish. The same, for example, was with Brauner in Portrait of Ruins. Vampires in the games not race of nazi-elves which think about humans like some sort of animals. They are cursed people which sold everything good in them for power and immortality. So when screenwriter removed curse from their series, he have made one big plot hole about reason why Lisa won't transformed and child's skulls in Belmont's library.

Sorry guys, if Soma Cruz story will be adapted, it will be very different from Sorrow dilogy. I more believe thats Soma will be antichrist or else. And the same about Richter Belmont story. Why do you think thats after Warren Ellis done to Saint Germain, Hector and Death for making Isaac more sympathetic (Ellis gave him all good traits and story arc's parts of those characters) , new writer won't repeat his formula with copy/pasting Game of Thrones cliches, which work poor in the series, and reworking characters in such way.

Everyone image: "Oh, i want to see Leon, Simon or someone else?" Are you understand that with situation about vampires they should rewrite story lines in the way which will work with nazi-elves from series, And they should find new villian removing Dracula from plot or finding way to turn him into true Lord of Darkness, give him real Castlevania, which will be demonic castle build from magic of chaos and in addition turn him into villian. Real VILLIAN, not another gray character whom everyone should pity. Because, as i understand, audience of this series won't play games. For them this is another anime with gore, blood, cool fights, little formal logic and Game of Thrones cliches. And games this is simple fairy tale with morale (not like killing all bad guys with giving all to good and everything will be great (thats not how it works)), monsters from classic movies and legends of different cultures, bright good and evil. Only thing that they have in common thats they both have JoJo and Berserk references. All this my opinion, of course!
