If it was a little less played with it wouldn't be so bad. I can understand using a mace or a flail, hell, even the leg of a table to crush a skeleton. But the Vampire Killer whip is a main plot device of the franchise if not THE main one. If they make his sword the Vampire Killer then I guess that will pass for many people. Maybe tie it in with another beloved story like it was once Excalibur or something and it changes form and function to suit it's current purpose. Even still, I'll have secret wishes that the sword can break into connected segments and resemble a whip like the Ivy Sword from Soul Calibur.![]()
