10 Hilarious Dragon s Dogma Netflix Logic Memes Only True Fans Will Understand

Netflix's Dragon's Dogma is a polarizing anime, with many flaws in its logic — leading to many fan-made memes. Netflix's Dragon's Dogma is a polarizing anime especially for those who have played the video game. On one hand, it's which is always a good thing. But on the other hand, it's not exactly a stellar representation of the franchise due to the somewhat clunky CGI and the poor pacing of the series. Not to mention it also changed up a rather important aspect of the games. That would be the lore. Needless to say, Netflix's Dragon's Dogma made up and modified the existing rules of its franchise's own world. This led to a lot of logical inconsistencies-- some of which are just too hilarious to not make memes about. So the community banded together to point out Dragon's Dogma's in the most appropriate way possible for the current day and age. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Who d Have Thought That Wolves Do That

It's good to see that the show is still paying homages to in the subtlest of ways but the execution is rather underwhelming. A wolf suddenly started stealing Ethan and his foster son's kill when it suddenly attacked and was confident enough since it had backup. Of course, Ethan, with his superior hunter know-how, just ran away from the wolves instead of climbing trees then using the bow to kill them off so that Louis could ask help from the village garrison at the bottom of the mountain. Wolves do hunt in packs, but that doesn't mean they can climb elevated areas as humans do.

Something About Lust Dunno

Fans were a bit hyped but were also somewhat disappointed that it only had seven episodes. Even worse is that one of these episodes (or maybe two or three?) isn't even necessary. That would be the notoriously short and uneventful "Lust" episode or the sixth one. It's that episode that attempts to hook the viewers in with Ethan and Olivia's backstory but ultimately failed because Ethan was already a scumbag at that point. Really, it's mostly just an excuse to add some nudity to make the show seem more "mature."

Shadow Of The Dogma

Another prevalent theme in the show is how it's always jumping from episode to episode in what appears to be disjointed homages to the monsters of the game. Hence, it felt more like another game called Shadow of the Colossus where the protagonist just travels from point to point to slay giant monsters. Oddly enough, the video game wasn't like this and involved plenty of social interactions between the humans and within cities. It was a rather odd narrative choice for the anime to make the in-game enemies as each episode's star. Most of them feel shoehorned .

Ethan s Master Plan

Speaking of giant monsters that are present in the game, one of the most viable strategies for dealing with those is to mount them and chip away at their weak spots. That makes sense in the video game-- in the anime, it makes the character look like an absolute dunce. Sadly, Ethan has proven that the number of abs he has is not indicative of his brainpower. So he mostly just latches onto the enemies when Hannah herself could have easily shot those said enemies. Moreover, Ethan was already a hunter at the start of the show, why'd he have to be a stereotypical RPG meathead swordsman?

Well Look Who s Talking

Of course, it's not just Ethan's choices that are devoid of any reason. Hannah is a bit guilty and likely needs to take a close look at the mirror or do some self-awareness evaluation. She constantly criticizes and questions human beings' choices when she doesn't know her purpose. Really, she just suddenly appeared and started becoming loyal to the Arisen, even risking her life and safety for a stranger. How's that for foolishness? Additionally, she's always concerned about Ethan's wellbeing but doesn't care much for his monster-mounting shenanigans. Hannah needs to make up her mind.

It s Not Like There s Tons Of Creative Material Begging To Be Used Right

One big complaint with Netflix's Dragon's Dogma's plot is how it didn't follow such a readily available source material that's just waiting to get adapted. Instead, Netflix's Dragon's Dogma goes out of the way to invent something different and disregarded a lot of things established by the game. The worse part is that the anime probably could have been better if it recreated what the game had instead of following its thematic episode structure where each episode represents a biblical deadly sin.

World Building Whatever Is That

Sadly, that meme above can easily be used for lots of Netflix Originals, whether film or series. Netflix's Dragon's Dogma is no exception as the showrunners pretty much butchered the video game's lore with inconsistencies and garbled its world. Not to mention that ending is very much dissatisfying especially for how much of a slog the show has become by episode six. Even the episode titles don't make much sense nor do some of the monsters that were supposed to represent them.

Oh Such A Dogmatic Dragon

Then there's the dragon who's always raving on about how what he does is not his fault even. He's also like this in the video game except he was at least more believable there as the story had plenty of time to develop. In the anime, the dragon is just nonsensical. One of its biggest excuses for killing is instinct and that none of what it did is evil. Except it also burned down a whole village and killed a pregnant woman even though it was perfectly capable of thinking like a human. That's why the whole "I'm not evil" shtick doesn't really sit well. Even the dragon in the video game only went for the Arisen's heart and didn't burn down all of Cassardis.

Like Carving Turkey With A Toothpick

So far the rules for the monsters in the anime are quite faithful to the video game's (minus the hydra's digestion window). One exception was the dragon's skin, however, as Ethan somehow managed to pierce it with a standard blade during the last episode. Clearly, the dragon's skin can't be penetrated by ordinary human weapons as is shown when it attacked Cassardis and was welcome by a million arrows from the local garrison. Then along came Ethan with the same sword used by the said garrison stabbing the dragon effortlessly and ending the ordeal of watching the series.

Eh Can t Complain

One of the scenes in the anime is when Ethan demanded answers from Hannah as to who she is and what's her reason for helping. Hannah merely answers with a dismissive "that's how it is." Many fans of the franchise wished that exchange was a joke, but the showrunners were dead serious about it. As a result, the meme perfectly sums up just how silly Hannah's motivation and explanation was for being a servant of the Arisen. The result was both her and Ethan not having any chemistry at all, making their journey boring and tedious.
