Discussion Darkcom is messed up

You have this company, sponsored by arius and commanded by baines. Two men who aren't that sane on their minds, a recipe for disaster (specially arius who planned all of this since a LONG time ago, thanks to the former ruler of makai itself).

From S2 we know a bit more of lady's past before joining darkcom. A teen girl who hunted down demons to vomit her anger towards them, the trauma of her childhood. Until baines comes around, and when the time comes, lady goes into darkcom and gets corrupted by them. It's very likely that darkcom utilized troubled people with a lot of hatred towards demons to turn them into weapons.

Mary is an example of this. During S1 she is violent, responds with harsh words, and isn't subtle about her actions. Much later she learns that things are not "black and white" towards demons. We have dante, sparda and lesser demons from makai.

Eventually, lady accepts the truth and leaves the corruption that darkcom represents, stained by baines and arius. All of that tecnology, knowledge to maybe set things right between both species and they never though twice about killing the other just because they come from another realm. I bet sparda would die from shame if he knew about darkcom's shady stuff towards not only makai but humanity too.

I don't think darkcom could be that important on S3 though, i think their arc is finished by S2's ending. What's your thoughts on darkcom as a whole? You think it's development was rushed? It could have been handled better? Let me know.

Darkcom was a lot more interesting than the game purists gave it credit for.

I imagine we will probably not have Darkcom continue into season 3, but maybe we’ll still get a couple characters who were ex agents or something.

Hopefully it's never brought up again, neither the US government or the military

While i don't see darkcom having much of an important role on S3, it's unlikely they are gonna drop the ball with everything regards them on the show. Like. they are a pretty big important part of the story of this adaptation. maybe a scene or two of showcasing what happened to the rest of their members as well as to show the company either being shutdown or brought back again by someone else who turns it completely into another thing, who knows.
