Reuben Langdon (Dante of DMC) blames sexual harassment victims; thinks MeToo and BLM"goes too far" UPDATE: Regrets nothing; Capcom never investigated
- Thread starter Kyle Cross
- Start date
Yeah, JYB dances circles around Langdon when it comes to the VA performance.
You directly support the artist by consuming their art. And it's unfair to everyone else that worked on the game but that's just how it is.
I could see him getting the DMC2 Trish treatment from here on out.
Making a DMC game without Dante is like making a GoW game without Kratos, or Legend of Zelda without Link.
I watched that interview a few days ago because of that thread saying that Itsuno was about to resign from Capcom because of DmC. I figured I might as well watch the video after that point because I like Dante and was curious about what his actor was like... and then everything entered crazy land with UFO conspiracies and ancient aliens pseudo spirituality nonsense and I instantly started to realize that this guy was a little nuts.
That's all fine though cause crazy people are interesting and aren't necessarily bad but then he started supporting Trump and saying that black lives matter and me too have "gone too far" and at that point he went from being crazy to being a monster. I will now pretend that Dante is voiced by a sane human being now and not a crazy bigot.

Royalty deals for VA are very rare in the industry to my knowledge. He's already gotten his check for this
Capcom is finally making good games again but it came at the expense of PR disasters. Jesus Christ.
At least I have hope of them changing Morrison, he has a minor role after all.
I'm not sure how relevant he'll be going forward, but if there's a chance he'll return it better be with a different voice.

Not really? There's been an obvious passing of the torch to Nero since DMC4
Maybe you should separate the poster from the post. I mean the poster didn't have anything to do with making the game anyway.
Disappointing to hear, Reuben always comes across as a really nice guy. Honestly though, I wouldn't bat an eye if he was replaced as Dante and Ken etc. I feel like anyone could do those roles (and probably do a better job at it). If he doesn't understand he's in the wrong then I think it's time to move on from Reuben.
Royalty tho? I dont think I ever hear video game VA get paid like that.
If they're anything like the Splinter Cell fanbase when Blacklist happened then loll
I don't think they will either. This came out at the wrong time. They're a long ways off before considering DMC6 I feel and by then I think most people will have forgotten or be unaware.
Like apparently his QAnon shit was known going into DMCV but I had no idea
DMC4 already moved away from Dante being the main series protagonist. I have no doubt in my mind that Nero is being pushed so much because Itsuno wants to soften fans up to the idea that Dante is more of a backseat driver now, especially since Itsuno more likely has a personal preference for Nero being his own creation and all.
Best course of action would be getting him back. This way they don't risk making the fanbase mad and at the same time they tell Reuben to GTFO with his shity views.
You know I've been trying to figure out what it is that makes me like Nero better then Dante and honestly this might be a big part of it.
JYB manages to pull of both serious and cocky whereas I feel Reuben isn't as good when things get genuinely serious.

Reuben, I hope you get to keep your job because you are a fantastic VA. These folks ain't going to like that. If I was a famous celebrity I would just go with he party line since you an get fired for this
David hayter was replaced because Kojima jerks off to Hollywood and by all accounts, he's a great dude. Replacing Langdon for being a piece of shit will only get other pieces of shit mad. and fuck them too
Yeah... this isn't going to go anywhere. By the time they're making DMC6 nobody will remember this story and they'll have him on a tight leash. Ideally they;'ll just recast for the next game but the likelyhood this story spreads far enough to actually get to Capcom in a substantial way is very low.
I mean...the best course is for him to realise how bad these views are, denounce them and we all carry on looking forward..
But it usually doesn't work out like that.
Yeah but I highly doubt they would completely write Dante off given how much people associate DMC brand to Dante, at least not yet. I just hope they recast Dante, as I still think the Dante character is interesting and has strong screen presence.
Edit: Also gameplay wise Dante is still the best for me, the various style forms are so satisfying to use during battle.

over a dude that has less than two minutes of dialogue.
alt?
he has nico to play off of to be fair, it goes a long way
Far as I can tell, Langdon is a stunt performer who so happens to act while JYB decided to really become an actor after his time on Power Rangers, hence his time landing leading roles in animes and video games in the '00s.
If you were a famous celebrity you could also not blame the victims of assault for being assaulted
personally I can't wait until DMC6 where Dante takes on the baddest demon of all: hillary clinton
now I want DMC6 to be
even more than I did before. Fuck outta here, Langdon.
focused entirely on Nero
