Had someone in my comments that was pretty dissatisfied with Season 2 of DMC Netflix, and Dante in particular, so I wanted to try and lay out where I think they're going with it. It doesn't mean it's going to be for everyone, but with this I do feel like I can at least see the trajectory clearer.

If it helps with your appreciation of the new series as well, I'd say to consider that Dante's 'humanity' in the new series is his ability to endure the trials of life and retain his carefree attitude, that the central thesis seems to be one of all people truly being able to share and empathize in moving on with our hurt. I did think Eva's talk in episode 7 was a good thesis statement for the show, and keeping in mind that this new Dante isn't as strong as the one from the games, his new strength is his ability to endure hardship and keep on going. So him losing fights but never giving up sets him as more of a traditional struggling protagonist in a world with major powers moving against one another, which does match with the way they were setting him up in season 1. He's not DMC Dante, but he's still A Dante, and it seems like they want to explore what that means. Dante's capacity to be hurt and embrace it vs Vergil's desire to chase power for the sake of never hurting again. It's a different spin, but I do think it's a solid enough thesis that I want to let them cook.
