Demon or not, taunting can get you somewhere. Just because you're a demon doesn't mean you can't get pissed off.


I thought taunting didn't fit into the narrative.


Let's see, he taunts a ton of enemies in combat, he taunted Lilith, Barbas and Poison in the cutscenes, and taunting is part of the story when he finally confronts Mundus. It certainly fits the neo-teen narrative.

I never got that either. Why would a mystical entity like a demon give a damn if someone said they were old?

I guess I just don't get the deep, Shakespearean implications of it.


He never implied she was old, he implied she looked 10 times older than she was.

That's the beauty of the scene. It's so incredibly stupid that it becomes hilarious. I don't know why haters are so mad at it.

She gets mad when Donte says she looks 12,000, what's up with that? Although, I'm not even sure why he said that...I dunno, I just figure it'd make more sense if he said she looked YOUNGER than 1200.


You'll see, after you'll turn 21 you won't be so glad people say you look older than your age.

It's bad writing.

Yes I think we`ve got a problem. So much for the afterglow.

Also, one does not make cracks or even ask about a woman's age. It's not very gentlemanly.


DmC spoilers

One also does not make cracks about a father's dead baby.

You got it all wrong, right here...

Poison was the one who said she was 12.000 years old, not Dante. Dante only taunted her, and she got mad, lol.

Demons can also get angry, you know...

All in all, the whole scene was hilarious, one of the better, regarding comic relief. Why so serious?

Huh, no, she says she's twelve hundred and eleventy-five years old or close enough.
