I can't get over how a big plot point is taking a ship from Hungary to Germany. I just absolutely can't get over that It is a plot point introduced solely to make this not dracula, but copyright expired just call him dracula
????????????????????????
I'm sorry but WHAT
You can sail up the Danube lol
Didn't they say it was on the ocean though in the movie
People are dumb I guess. Unless it was during the time Hungary controlled Croatia during the 1400s
It's set in 1838 which is kinda funny because I was like "don't just assume it's the same borders as your dumb paradox game" but actually, it is
I'm too ancient to play video games 😔
dracula also took a ship to england
oh heck yeah! it even has it's own movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Voyage_of_the_Demeter
I actually really liked that movie, it's a fun slasher.
Yes because that's the way to get to England, it is not the way you would travel to Germany.
who hasn't sailed the plains of Europe in a magnificent land ship
Hexbearians outing themselves as uncultured swine. Truly nothing can compare to the smell of crushed thyme wafting up as you sail o'er the rolling hills of France.
I mean it's obviously in England but they're just calling it Germany. Nosferatu was always just a very legally dubious Dracula.
There was even a legal battle about it at the time. The fact that they intertwined it in the movie made it all the more true.
If he was really determined to travel by ship for part of the journey the Danube river runs pretty far. It doesn't run through Transylvania, though, so he would need to get to the river first.
But it's a coastal city, and he comes there by ocean. It can't be the danube which would make sense. He'd need to either travel through Russia and take a boat from the black sea ports or go down through the balkans and take a boat from there to Germany. Either way he has to cross all of the Mediterranean a bit of the Atlantic, and apparently sail through the north sea pointed vaguely in the direction of Germany based on the last bit of the journey being at high seas (Going the long way around great britain instead of through the channel?)?!
Or do we combine the two and he takes the danube to the black sea, and then the river boat also takes the long way around?!
I guess you could argue travel by sea is safer for a being who can't be exposed to daylight
Probably right that it was a narrative oversight.
You're absolutely right, it's clearly on the ocean. The film is just dumb haha
I wouldn't call it dumb. It's because it's just an adaption of a ship going to England but nameswapped to Germany. The story is still good. It's just that my brain is bad
noticing things is actually brain being good tho
