Netflix recently recalled official merchandise after misspelling the name of Vergil, a lead character from its animated adaptation of Devil May Cry, as 'Virgil' on a t-shirt. This mistake has drawn attention online, especially since Vergil's name is inspired by the Roman poet, while Dante's name, also inspired by a writer, was spelled correctly. Despite this mishap, the animated series has received positive reviews, with the second season launching earlier this week.
