If that's how you feel, sure, but I don't think it matches up.
Journous latched on to DmC, then also bought into the stupid marketing desperately trying to paint old DMC as uncool, and that Donte was the hip new thing making the old games obsolete, then being very bitter and passive aggressive about this not sitting right with many people.
Hell, with an actual new DMC being announced at E3, not just ignoring DmC, but perhaps even shitting on it (definitely relegating it as non-canon), you can now happily drink journo tears, like I'm doing.

I'm not doing any of what the journos were doing, I in fact never thought at any point that Metroidvania made Classicvania obsolete, and that they were more cool and that you shouldn't play the older games. I think that the Metroidvanias were fun games in their own way.

I didn't mind the transition from action platformer to more exploration oriented 'pseudo-RPG', I thought the games were fun, still, better in some ways, worse in others.
The 3D games never clicked with me, but I don't make a big deal about them, I just don't play them. It's not like Super Castlevania, Castlevania Chronicles, or Dracula X stop existing because I like Symphony Of The Night or Aria Of Sorrow, or that the latter make the former stop existing. I grew up playing both.
