Nah... everyone bites everyone when it comes to movie posters. It's a limited space that you can really only do so much with since certain elements are required. I think I've seen a line up of dozens and dozens of movies posters that are all pretty much the same, just different head shots of actors/actor, different fonts/font treatment, and background.

 

[AlexxKidd]

Someone stop the madness!

 

[Guy_who_thinks_hes_cool]

i believe this is quite common

 

[The Alien]

Lol. MGS doesn't own profile pics of the main protagonist.

 

[luij81]

Nah that's just a coincidence.

Now this was a ripoff!

Hell. Konami used to do it all the time.

Well, everybody (sort of) does it here and there:

 

[VN1X]

I've reported all of you in this thread.

I hope you are happy.

 

[Rest]

You think that Metal Gear Solid invented the profile shot?

 

[baphomet]

A profile shot.

You think a standard profile shot is ripping off MGSV's cover?

 

[Arcadialane]

Cmon guys, at least read his full post, it's more than just the profile shot

 

[Majormaxxx]

I think that the thread shows people see details and patterns in different ways. Something that is obvious to me is to others either negligible or downright non existent. It's interesting. At the same time, still other participants in the thread see even more details than me, but don't see the pattern. I still think there's a pattern and someone modeled the movie poster on mgs 5, but maybe it's a coincidence.

Metal Gear Liquid : The Phantom Piss

WTF? Are these all real?

 

[Kamina]

The movie is a plot by hideo
#TeamReal

Also the piss pictures are probably photoshopped or part of that weird fashion trend.

Seems to me these are photshopped. Maybe it's a 4chan joke. Like the long running Richard Gere joke. Or the Kanye joke on South Park.

 

[Toots]

WTF? Are these all real?

I want to think they are real because I love the idea of Liam Neeson, classically trained actor and huge Hollywood star having no care in the world and just pissing hisself anytime he feels like it, but I really don’t know…

 

[TonyK]

The two only entertainment products with a side view of the main character's face! Shocking!

 

[EDMIX]

Kojima invented men facing sideways

Was just about the say the same thing.

They invented a black background and the side profile, clearly someone is stealing here as such concepts did not exist prior to this /s

lol

I never understand how folks come up with this shit

 

[93xfan]

If you look closely, I think it’s even the same guy

In fact the picture in the OP is probably going to be the bluray cover
And what do blurays come in?.... that's right, a blue box.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Wonder if he'll piss himself in this movie.

I thought this was a joke.
Apparently, It is not.

 

[Negotiator101]

How much longer is Neeson gonna limp through these action films? Fair enough Taken was great but that was 15 years ago for God's sake!

 

[Negotiator101]

Wonder if he'll piss himself in this movie.

WTF

 

[IntentionalPun]

That's because everything about that cover is cliche as fuck.

 

[bender]

 

[Teslerum]

3 pages of stating the same thing over and over again + a discussion about Liam Neeson pissing himself.

Yop, smells like a classic gaming thread.

 

[Ezquimacore]

didn't know kojima fans were this crazy

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Same font, same profile, same lighting.

Maybe it is the same graphic designer?

Wonder if the movie is any good

My God, Neeson's nose could cut fucking glass. His profile looks like someone who's bad at photoshop combined the top of one guy's head with the bottom of another's. You shouldn't have an Everest nose and a weak chin. Looking like some kind of Qui Gon Parrot.

 

[Trunx81]

It’s not the same as you can see that Liam has full blown aids on that picture.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Just saw the movie. The script is NOT written well. Pacing is off as well. Just seems off overall.

 

[nkarafo]

Spoiler

....your on his list.

That list is an absolute good.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

After all the shit Kojima stole from the West over the years, a design for a poster is the last thing he should be upset about.

 

[Ivan]

This thread reminded me of old gaf in a good way, thank you all for that

 

[SenjutsuSage]

This literally makes no sense. There is no gun, no transparent silhouette, and no bullet breaking through glass effect on the Metal Gear cover. And other things I could point out but won't.

 

[clarky]

More shit stolen from MGSV & Kojima, CALL THE COPS!!!!!

 

[Belthazar]

Is this some sort of copypasta? Joke thread? What the hell is even this?

 

[Von Hugh]

Cmon guys, at least read his full post, it's more than just the profile shot

Naaaahhh, it is clearly only the profile shot like every single post is saying.

Profile.

Shot.
