It's like he wants to be Dante*. Trying way to hard to bring that Cocky-with-the-right-to-be character and it just doesn't work anymore.
[spoiler]I mean from back before they turned him into an angsty, whiney bitch of a teenager.[/spoiler]

Oh my god you're one of those dumbasses that britches about DmC aren't you?

No, I bitch about the shitty portrayal of Dante and Virgil. DMC: Devil Makes me Cry inside, is otherwise a sound game. They're the sons of Sparda, the demon who sealed away all of Hell by himself. Not some whiney ass brothers who can't even shut down a single demon overlord without screaming over being shot. Pathetic.

That sounds more like a personal problem.

Persona-l perhaps. Trying to make a character who was written originally to be absurdly powerful and well aware of his ability into an angsty smuck who flipped his shit over something he wouldn't even have noticed before? There's a reason DMC: Devil May Cry didn't sell as well as its predecessors.
