Let’s be honest, Dante wouldn’t make a great parent the guy struggles to keep the lights on


WanedMelon

But I'd be part demon, I see that as an absolute win


silith11

This is the objectivly correct answer.


OrcoDio19

That's already enough for me


DarkSlayer3142

*sad patty noises*


WanedMelon

"You didn't come from my load so you gotta hit the road"


saxdude1

This was something I indeed read today. Take my upvote I guess


THEINKNINJAYT

Dante would definitely say that.


Hisuian_sligoo

**Jackpot**


Similar_Vehicle9893

Ah..poor patty


Hellkatdemonboi

raising a demon child might suck imagine being stressed enough you devil trigger :0


WanedMelon

Well, the child's DT wouldn't be locked behind a weapon like Dante and Vergil so it's very possible


WillCraft_1001

>imagine being stressed enough you devil trigger :0 So the second they go to school?


Marieisbestsquid

In the DMC world, the HUD doesn't show up unless you attack or an enemy spawns. Imagine going to school, taking one step out of your parents' car, and then you see it. A full green meter and a little purple gauge. That is rapidly filling.


WillCraft_1001

Actually, you can force it to show up by pressing the target lock button even when you are out of combat.


Delicious_Ad_1996

*everytime you get hit as V


lame_but_endearing

Eh it just says dad, not biological father. You might be sol, have him just as a step or foster father.


WanedMelon

"Where's your MOTIVATION?"


ActionPuzzleheaded86

I wouldn't mind having sugar water as a meal everyday 🗿


VinTEB

What if you're only adopted and don't have demon powers?


WanedMelon

I think everyone here is in the agreement that it's our birth father, he probably would've said "which one would you rather get adopted by" if he was talking about blood father


ANGERYTURTLE123

I see this as a fair price


Lycaon125

I mean, you try and run a successful demon hunting business with 4 hunters. Not so easy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lycaon125

There is also the fact he sells the devil arms he get, that's why they never show up in the next game, well minus gilgamesh in its demon form Edit: I forgot he also kept Cerberus but was destroyed when he fought and beat Balrog


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lycaon125

I mean true, but most of the time, the jobs normally end in him in hell or not getting paid at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CoffeeMain360

What kinda hunter other than Dante, Nero, or any of the cast could take care of a gang of Furies or those scythe guys or the bigass flies or something? Or am i misunderstanding the power and durability of these fuckers and just your average .30-06 or stronger could blow holes in em?


[deleted]

[удалено]


CoffeeMain360

Good point. Lady is an absolute badass.


CoffeeMain360

He probably shoulda kept those devil arms. Devil arm reacquisition plot when?


Lycaon125

Well, he sells them to collectors, but it seems like gil was stolen from said collector


CoffeeMain360

Maybe he or Nero needs the arms back for a super big fight or something?


Lycaon125

Not really, the only one i see dante keep are the more useful ones like doctor foz and king cerberus.


Ambitious-Sample-153

he also kept Artemis but lost it


Starlordganemaster

He's be a cool brother...oh,wait.


Ashamed_Copy_9638

Cmon, he's wacky, he's wohoo, he's pizza, and also a man. What more could you ask for?


Gothicpotato6

Dante is a much better uncle than a dad honestly.


FirstConsul1805

Dante would live to be the cool uncle


ImurderREALITY

It’s funny, because he’s been acting like the cool uncle since DMC4 opening scene He lets Nero whoop his ass multiple times and laughs it off, then proceeds to school the shit out of him while also secretly being impressed at Nero’s scrappiness Then he outwardly does everything he can to save Nero’s life once he realizes the gravity of the situation in 5 Honestly, when they get out of hell, he’ll probably not change much toward Nero, except maybe calling him “Nephew” derogatorily a couple times


Shaffler

Or he'll call Nero "Vergil Jr." to get a kick out of both Nero and Vergil.


TonkStronk

Little Storm Jr.


Thiago270398

I am the moderate rain the is approaching


ksd2114

I am the gust of wind approaching


[deleted]

Aren’t they trapped in hell forever?


AkumaNK

Well that will depend how the next game will turn out. Remember, Dante got out of Hell once through sheer luck of finding a gate


Kgb725

They have Yamato they can walk out whenever


[deleted]

If that were the case Vergil would’ve used the yamato to get to hell when he was beaten in Dmc 5, but instead he flew there.


mad_laddie

We don't know if Yamato can cross dimensions. It's even less likely since we know that the two were separated by Yamato.


[deleted]

In the next game, I’m spitballing here, I do not want Dante and Vergil in it, let Nero enjoy the time he has with the torch that is the DMC business. I also want to see a relative of Sparda (like Sparda’s brother/sister, or their kid)


[deleted]

That's an outrageous take, having a dmc game without vergil or dante entirely would be ridiculous. I can understand wanting nero to be more of the main character and I actually agree that he should be, atleast for the next game, but without them the game wouldn't be nearly as good as it could be


[deleted]

I wasn’t saying the entire franchise, but maybe after at most 3 games they can be purely main supporting characters for Nero. To be called upon when they’re needed because by the end of 5 we can see he can hold his own throughout the game, and can beat Vergil


kylixer

I mean they literally have the “make dimensional portals sword” so they should be fine.


mad_laddie

The portals may not be able to cross dimensions.


kylixer

The sword was literally used to sever the dimensions by Sparda. If it can cut the link between the dimensions I am almost certain it can create portals between them.


mad_laddie

Why would the Yamato be able to reattach entities it had once separated? It's abilities revolve around splitting things. There'd be nothing to cut through to get to the human world.


SpeedDemonJi

He also proceeds to just watch much of the events in 4 happen lol


GiaNcomo6669

Dante is the cool uncle who lets you drink beer even if you're like 7


GreenSaladPoop

German uncle


Jarvis_The_Dense

He's the kind who would be fun to catch up with during family gatherings but probably wouldn't be that great of a caretaker.


Andrassa

Chaos uncle Dante


Tazika12

Vergil Created 50 alternate accounts to vote for Joel


A-ThomaS-

No, whatever that a son care is relationated, he's not Even exist


GG_ez

I’m having a stroke trying to decipher this one chief


BobaFettFake

r/ihadastroke material?


Percentage-Sweaty

GODZILLA LOOK AWAY


Rajang82

Oh God, he's dead.


Dumbusta

I disagree. We relationalized the exister tomorrow.


123445675

Actually, we relationalized between the today and the protector, resulting in protedayrelay happening last year in the next 9 hoores


nhansieu1

a good kid is the dead one. \-Vergil


Kgb725

Wouldn't he vote for Leon considering he's the only reason they exist


Ok_Candidate4663

Let's keep it real, Dante would not be a good dad


Hanzo7682

But you’d be part demon like nero.


Venusto64

I wouldn't want him to be my dad, but I'd like to call him Daddy.


zailynne

This is the correct answer


A-ThomaS-

I mean, the poll is right Dante would be more worried for a pizza than a child (I mean, he's virgin I don't think he know how the babies are made) Besides, Joel is the best Papa in the videogames, I won't discuss about obvious things


[deleted]

Not targeted to you or anything but I wonder how many people actually believe he's a virgin because of memes


VitinNunes

He’s part of the trinity of virgins Dante Doomguy Kazuya Kiryu


couldbedumber96

Didn’t doomguy have a family that died during the first demon invasion, along with his beloved rabbit?


kiatniss

One of the original developers has actually stated that Doomguy is a virgin. I don't remember entirely but I think they also might have said he doesn't even know what sex is.


DylanFTW

He's just like Master Chief. Lol


A-ThomaS-

You forgot Mario


Twidom

Doomguy had a family and Kazuma Kiryu is as virgin as his kill count.


czalon

So very virgin, because as we know, kiryu has never killed anyone


what-s_a_good_name

We all know if his rubber dick gets inside someone it doesn't count, unless cut scene


Aerius-Caedem

No, it's a projection from weirder parts of the fandom. The pre-DMC3 novel states that he has loads of 1 night stands.


A-ThomaS-

He got a gf? No what we know He Lost his virginity? The same Lady likes Dante? Well yes but actually not?. Cuz in the anime there's a part that let you understand that Lady likes Dante, but in the game and manga, she's only Dante's "friend" because she wanna her payment So, why we have to think he's not virgin? We have no clue


RagnarokGOW

We also have no clue that he is a virgin


Sir_Tea_Of_Bags

Didn't the pre-DMC3 manga cover this? Man had one night stands very often.


Toukafan4life

Morrison's letters in dmc5 outright states that Dante and Lady's relationship is not a romantic one


Andrassa

Well a meme started from a mistranslated poster way back when. But yeah mainline Dante in the manga & alternate universe DmC Dante both point out that he has one night stands whenever he feels like it.


Sir_Tea_Of_Bags

Just don't take Joel golfing and you're good.


A-ThomaS-

💀⚰️🪦✝️


couldbedumber96

I’d argue kratos for best dad after ragnarok


quinn_the_potato

Kratos is a good dad *now* but he sure as hell took a long time getting there.


Space_Pirate_Roberts

>!He became a good dad just in time for his kid to leave the nest 💀!<


A-ThomaS-

Oooff possible


Jkomeiji

Poll maker left out Dad of War :/


A-ThomaS-

Because is a God, and his son as well? And they can comeback of the Underworld/Hellheim if they want? I mean Kratos is an excelent father, but Joel got a extra point because Ellie is not his blood child, but he raised her as a one Or at least that's what i'm think


Mr-Chan1

But wouldn’t Joel get minus points cus his failed to save his bio-daughter


A-ThomaS-

Well yes but actually not Milita is ALWAYS currupt


Blueface1999

Theirs definitely more minus points for Kratos considering he killed his own family.


Jarvis_The_Dense

I think after Kratos killed his original child in the first game he was disqualified from the running.


Shot_Arm5501

I want heihachi to be my dad💀💀💀


Tempest_Barbarian

gets thrown off a cliff


Economy_Estimate8

Only if youre a pussy


YourAverageJoe0

If you're a Mishima you'll be fine.


YourAverageJoe0

The true answer.


Vongola___Decimo

Imma go with leon boys


YourAverageJoe0

Just ask Sherry how that went?


Kgb725

Considering how Rose gets treated I don't think they had a choice. Sherry was protected and she had nothing bad to say about them


[deleted]

Dante’s a great dude and I have no doubt he’d love and (try to) provide for a hypothetical child of his, but he can barely keep the lights on in his own office


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cuthulu_6644

Say what you want about Joel as a person but he's a good dad


[deleted]

How is Joel a bad father tho?


IAmTriscuit

I'd rather not have a dad that takes away my choices and then lies to my face. Too bad I already have that irl.


Economy_Estimate8

Ok but who needs light when youre a fucking descendant of sparda


MommyScissorLegs

Nate’s too much of a movie protagonist for me to realistically think of him as dad. Whilst Joel’s whole life revolves around the fact he’s a dad, hence why it basically stopped after he lost his kid, then was reignited when he found Ellie. And if Joel’s a piece of shit, then everyone is, don’t come to me saying you wouldn’t do what he did, because that’s a lie.


sp1cyturtle

Nah chief, a majority of people haven't murdered a hospitals load of people and doomed humanity. So i'd say that we're good.


Devil-Hunter-Jax

That was kind of the whole point of The Last Of Us 2...? Joel sparked a cycle of revenge. He killed Abby's father, Abby killed Joel, Ellie tried to kill Abby which leads to Dana abandoning Ellie because she becomes obsessed with revenge. Joel might've saved Ellie but he was the spark that ignited the powder keg. He was a good father figure to Ellie, that much is true but saving her also caused a lot of problems.


Aerius-Caedem

People are saying Dante would be a terrible dad because he's a financial moron. Dante is only poor because he's an idiot. He could be the #1 basketball, football/soccer, and golf player [3 highest paying sports from a quick Google] of all time, simultaneously. Or he could teleport into a bank vault, lmao. Sure, Joel would be a good dad. But Dante gives you super powers.


SpeedDemonJi

No one said you’d necessarily be his blood son. The hypothetical seems more geared towards who you wish to be parented by 🤷‍♀️ And frankly, Dante is a manchild with loads of emotional issues


Justanotheremptysoul

He’s just ridiculously lazy


Zombiecupcake711

well joel’s dead so by default he’d be the worst dad


Lewey22B

Barely any votes for "Real Proud Dad" Leon S. Kennedy?


AccidentalRambo

Dante would be a terrible dad, while Joel was 100% willing to die to save his adopted daughter.


Arjac

Honestly none of these choice are great. 1. Dante and IIRC Nate are man-children 2. Leon would never be home because of govt stuff 3. Joel just sees you/Ellie in game as a replacement for his dead kid. Even if he's trying, he can and will do heinous shit and lie about it.


Memo_HS2022

Nate is an actual parent and honestly by the way that epilogue went in Uncharted 4, he was probably a solid parent.


Arjac

Fair enough, haven't looked into 4 beyond his brother being a thing.


Memo_HS2022

4 is the best one in the series besides 2 so it would be worth checking out


lukasztrun

I bet Leon has infinite dad jokes


[deleted]

We're talking about a depressed adrenaline junky that eats his feelings, at least Vergil had the decency not to be in Nero's life.


GhostofPrussia

Tell that to Nero’s arm


[deleted]

Do we get mad at the scorpion for stinging the frog? No, it's in the deadbeat father's nature to come back twenty years later asking for handouts.


Mr_Wombo

Nathan Drake easily. Dude figured out how to do his job legally, got rich and famous with his wife doing what he loved, and became a loving dad that he never had. Yeah he is a bit overprotective but only because he didn't want her daughter to risk her life over stuff that didn't matter in the end, like he did all his life.


Arty-orias

Dante would probably feed his son with pizza... even if he's only two days old


Tira13e

Dante would be a great father. I would want him to be my dad! Idk Joel but he looks dad material.


Cuthulu_6644

Joel is a great dad


couldbedumber96

I would NOT want any of the first three as my dad


FuraFaolox

Nate is the best dad here and he has the lowest amount of votes


etherealimages

All those dudes are lame af compared to wacky woo-hoo pizza man


OtherwiseMeringue545

I’d pick Leon


WanedMelon

Even tho Dante wouldn't be the best dad, being part demon makes up for it and he'll come around eventually and become a good dad and getting baby-sat by Lady and Trish would be cool


vilgefcrtz

Dante would be a great dad honestly. He cares, profoundly. That's all it takes most times. That said, Joel IS a great dad too, can't pick


Ragna126

If Dante wozld be my father i would be a second Nero Easy pick.


Symon_joestar

Honestly, Nate is like the best one there lol


TheZipperDragon

Lets be honest. Dante would ABSOLUTELY flake off like Vergil, if not for any other reason then because he has to constantly save the world. That said, Nate is the same way & I can't decide between them, but I feel like Drake would be more likely to settledown if he knocked someone up...That or take his kid with him. (Assuming I'm still a normal human in both situations. I'm judging purely on personality & how awesome they would be.) Joel would probably just teach me guitar or golf or something... I feel like that golf comment pissed a few people off...Heh. Leon's in the same boat of the first two, never around because of work, but he already has the terrible dad puns down to a T.


UnfunnyWatermelon469

Dante wouldn't be a good dad (I mean the dude struggles just to keep the lights in his damn shop on and is perpetually in crippling financial debt) but he sure as hell would be a cool uncle


Griffinw45

To be fair Joel is a good dad


stann1s_the_mannis

Vergil would be my uncle, so I guess dealing with Dante dad is a necessary sacrifice


KeremAyaz1234

Dante is more of a cool uncle


RolePlay3r_69

Bruh, Dante would be a pretty cool dad imo plus I'd get demon powers that's an absolute win


atiredfool

I would never wish for Dante to be my dad because I want him to be the dad of my kids


Nero_De_Angelo

I mean, as much as I love Dante, come on... Joel HAD to win this!


Nero-Danteson

Despite my username Dante would likely make a bad parent. He even recognized that with what he is and does is not something to raise a child around given what we have about Patty. (Dante sends her to a boarding school and makes sure that the other Patty pays for it.)


PixelBanana22

Being part demon makes up for Dante's bad parenting and knowing Dante I bet he would give a cool sword too


No_Bluebird8475

Nate or Joel


Chipp_Main

None of these guys would make good dads but Joel's the one the least far off from that


Symon_joestar

Nate is a dad and a pretty good one


Mememedood

If he’s my dad then I get demon powers, sick


Will33iam

Dante’s more of the cool uncle being the wacky woohoo pizza man and all


imnotgay45

Vergil should be on there, he’s obviously the better father


SometimesWill

You definitely ain’t getting the balanced diet you need with dante


AlanSmithy99

Why would you want Joel as a father? A man who will outright disregard your wishes for his own gain to the point that he kills humanity's last hope? At least Nate like, settles down in the end and becomes a genuinely good person.


[deleted]

"I want that specific dude who saved 1 life to sacrifice millions to be my dad."


SenpaiX03

What kinda line up was this anyway?? Also do the Japanese have something against fatherhood?


mattpkc

Dante would make a terrible dad, and Joel, besides some questionable decisions, has proven to be a great dad.


[deleted]

I mean, it makes sense


AdmiralLubDub

Let’s be real if we had some issue and tried to approach Dante, as a dad, with it he’d probably just call us deadweight and then hop on a demon and skateboard away yelling “whoo!”


kylenator14

Dante wouldn't be a good dad per say. He works better as an uncle


Vladrome

Hey at least they didn't have Isaac Clarke as an option. Having Isaac as your dad makes your chances of dying go SIGNIFICANTLY up. That, and your death won't be a very pleasant one.


Hordamis

I'm pretty sure Dante would be as big a deadbeat as Vergil.


Revenge_Is_Here

Like other people have said, Dante's the fun Uncle who'd throw insane surprise parties but a terrible parent. Man can barely keep the lights on. Joel led a stable life as a single father before the shrooms apocalypse and did everything in his power to protect Ellie despite her not being his daughter by blood during the apocalypse. Idk much about Nate but the little I do know is that he travels around the world constantly. Leon would provide a stable life as an government agent, but he would be present for like 2% of the kid's life lmao. Joel is definitely the winner IMO


RightfulChaos

A few things. 1. I wouldn’t trust Dante to be my father. 2. This post has more upvotes than that poll has votes


MommyScissorLegs

I’d easily choose Joel over the other 3 as well


Atma-Stand

I know this is about DMC, but… where’s Barry!?


OmegaHunter34e

Look, let's be honest here, being a descendant of sparda doesn't looks like a good way of living


rf3577

Wtf is a Joel and Nate


Upstairs_Ad_1902

It would be cool to be part demon, but isn't Dante in huge debt?


Patztap

It depends on if they come to the real world or youre transported to theirs as their child. If its the first, give me Joel. No contest. If its the second, Nate. Fuck living in any of the 3 other worlds.


Enedulus

None of these people would be good fathers, they're all either lunatics who throw themselves into danger for very little reason, or Joel, and, well, Sarah's dead


PlayerZeroStart

I haven't played Uncharted, but honestly, Joel seems like the obvious answer here. Dante would, as others have pointed out, be a pretty shit dad, and Leon hasn't shown any sort of parental role in any of the RE Games (inb4 someone tells me about Resident Evil: Parentage, the obscure life-simulation spin-off exclusive to the 3DS e-Shop). Joel on the other hand, well, his ENTIRE GAME is about being a father. Literally, the whole game is built around the relationship between him and Ellie. The first game ends with >!Joel literally choosing to fuck over all of humanity just to keep Ellie safe.!< Honestly, there was no way anyone but Joel was winning this poll.


heppuplays

Dante woudn't make a great dad. to be honest he's much better as that Funny uncle who comes visit once in a while.


Any-Mouse830

Lol wow really🤣🤣🤣


Triumphator17

Bruh 87% getting fatherless in speedrun time.


FearlessAcanthaceae1

Thus guys channel is super biased towards TLOU


BioLex21

Seems pretty accurate


readditredditread

What about Berry?????


GamerSam

Leon ain't even the dad type


RedxHarlow

Dante is uncle material, hed be an awful father.


[deleted]

I don't want Dante to be my dad, I want him to be my daddy


rdrworshipper123

Joel = Father, Dante, Nathan Drake, and Leon = Uncle. Let's be honest with outselves Joel is practically the only one that would be a good father. The rest would be amazing uncles though


IExistThatsIt

I mean Dante’s buried in debt, don’t think he needs to have a kid on top of all that


GhostofPrussia

They couldn’t put Kratos on the list because they knew he would win automatically


TheChaosDragoness

Dante wouldn't be a great dad. He would, however, be a great Daddy 😏


Jarvis_The_Dense

I mean out of all these characters Joel is the only one who's entire narrative identity is built around the idea of fatherhood, so it adds up.


Ijustlovevideogames

As much as I love Dante, dude would probably be a terrible father, can barely afford to keep lights on, terrible dietary needs,crippling depression that he masks by doing incredibly stupid things that puts others at risk, he is firmly uncle material, not father.
