Except for the fact that markus's ability's have nothing in common with the vampire lord ones
It has nothing to do with ability. The replicated image is too much.
...okkaaayyy... Well, if that's how you feel...
However, I respectfully disagree, and say that it's awesome that my favorite movie villains are being cloned into my favorite game.
I can appreciate your thoughts. However, there is nothing wrong with getting inspiration form another source, to act as an influence towards a completely separate creative idea. But to carbon copy something shows lack of professionalism.
Besides not taking away from either the game or the movie, I just feel that they should remain separate entities. I do not want to watch one and be reminded of or feel like I am part of the other.
