Yes, but it’s a very good character & world/lore to build a story + the games themselves have a ton of situationally epic things in them to include or even build around them.
(If Duke doesn’t shit up the throat of a decapitated alien we riot.)
And tho there is more lore, it’s not like Castlevania and DMC are directly screen-playable, but they did a fairly good job (there are better showrunners in the genre, but I think Duky Nuky fits the chill & just barely enough complicated/just over the border of simplistic vibe of DMC show, and I’m sure won’t skip on epic cool shit, maybe even a decent joke or two … I dread the inevitably cringe oneliners).
I’d argue both DMC and Castlevania has more depth than Duke. While DMC can be summed down to “Cocky man kicks ass”, there’s been greater depths explored with a lot of the cast. Not an ocean, of course, but there’s more to the characters than mere face value.
Castlevania has a wide cast of characters who, while not always presented in the most complex manner, have implied histories and personalities that can be built upon. There’s enough skeleton to support some good muscle.
Duke has the depth of a petri dish. He’s the embodiment of “What You See Is What You Get”.
Like I said elsewhere, a single movie in his peak, or a low budget tongue-in-cheek throwback, I could get behind.
I just don’t see the potential of a Duke series, or even a film getting beyond cult classic status among a select few.

Def! I said that specifically.
Of the two especially Castlevania offers much more depth & independence to it’s characters.
Duke 1 & 2 didn’t even leave that much character impression on me as the 3(D) did (ok, nether did Keen tbh).
Duke Nukem series will def be it’s own thing (like DMCs & Castlevanias), taking characters & the base premise & do its own thing. Same universe but unrelated to the games. Like comic books - the number of different ways Bruce’s parents get deaded is absurd :D (one time even due to Teen Titans actions).
Yeah, lol, didn’t know how to phrase that - down the throat would def be if he shat in the throat part of the body, but with the head you could say both (‘up’ in regards to the usual way things go down the throat but ‘down’ in regards to gravity).
I guess “down” would be the better choice, my bad.
edit: … my brainhole fucked up, he shits down the throat of the body. Why do I remember him sitting on the decapitated head? Was that in Fornever Forever?
