His place as a half demon who is out to kill them doesn't matter, then?
Okay, a good reboot that takes absolutely nothing from the previous? Conkers Bad Fur Day. A complete reboot of the character and the series.
Excuse me while I call BULLSHIT. Conkers bad fur day was a sequel to a gameboy game on an entirely different system, it might have changed themes, it didn't suddenly make Conker half alien or switch to focus entirely on the weaker aspects of the game.
That bit about Dante being half demon is still there, but now for some reason he's also half angel, removing any trace of the original character who was always proud of his humanity, and who started a demon hunting business because his human mother was killed by them.
Obviously the games aren't lauded for their story, but that's one of the first things you learn in the first game, and ignoring it shows you really don't give a shit about the source material.
The number of human demon hunters in media numbers in the dozens, possibly hundreds. The number of demons fighting demons? Dante. Him being demonic is what makes him unique. All being human does is give him motivation to fight demons. Oh geez, where are they gonna find a reason for him to hate demons. I mean, its not like they're, you know, FUCKING DEMONS! And "you killed my mother" is your great reason? Really? Its so fucking old and overused its nearly the oldest cliche in existence. You could use any other motivation and it would be less cliche. You could say he hates demons because they took his Bar Mtzvah money, and it would be easier to take Dantes motivations seriously.
And if you've ever actually played Pocket Tales, you'd know it was completely different on every single level, and did exactly what you said - it made Conker a horny alcoholic, and switched focus to a weaker aspect of the game - the humour. So, yes, this is exactly like Conkers Bad Fur Day.
