But I’m on the second episode and I guess the Christian god just canonically exists in this show? Crosses and holy water and shit work on vampires. Seems like a bold choice for a show to say “uh yeh that deity canonically exists in our show but I guess it’s just indifferent or whatever?”
Maybe this gets lampshaded at some point but in the second episode it’s weird as fuck lol
I'm reminded of the castlevania anime; they tried to get past the religious connotations of the cross so they specifically explained the reason the cross works is because....vampires are disoriented by mathematical symbols. Yes really.
I mean, that's sort of in line with the old mythology of them having to count each grain of rice if you pour out a bag infront of them, like that numbers and math are some weakness for them? Still kinda whacky though.
I think for me one of the issues was that it takes geometric genius to build Dracula's castle, so it didn't make sense to me.
So there's another reason that a vampire teaches counting on Sesame Street other than "The Count" pun. Cool.

Yeah but if you know how to leverage that weakness into a strength, you get a good paying job in children's television.
Didn’t that show have a moment where a priest throwing holy water did nothing, but a Belmont was able to ignite it? It was implying true faith mattered more than earthly authority.
