I know people said this, but Mickey Rourke doesn't look a thing like the Prince. the moment his head moves up, he wouldn't look anything like him.
But hey, that's a pose seen a great many times, Prince of Persia used it as well.

It's a fairly generic pose and style, so I'd never think it could be called a complete rip-off of PoP. Inspired by possibly, but not a rip-off.
Well as long as it doesn't make the same mistakes in tone that PoP:WW did then I don't think it's a problem.
Yeah unless the bust out into melee combat (for why?) I'm not sure this'll be much of a fight.Callate said:
Unless whiplash can lash his whips and create energy waves of death and destruc...wait...I be that's what will happen. Man I hope it is.
In advertisement there is no such thing as a coincidence. Everything is carefully thought through, from the overall look to the smallest of details. Thats what I've been taught over the four years I've been in studying advertisement and its associate subjects.
I'm just going to guess that you didn't see the first movie butSomeUnregPunk said:
most likely a copied Arc Reactor like the one Tony has in his chest, or an arc reactor built to the exact specs due to tech being stolen from Stark (this was a common theme in the comics)
Definately overthinking it and.....
Since when did a movie "ripping off" a game become "news"? This piece of "news" has highlighted more the fact that the new villian is known as "Whiplash" more than the silly comparison with POP: WW. And have you somehow failed to look at any other game case apart from POP: WW and this poster? There are loads of ones with characters posing like this, this certainly isn't the first. I await some actual news to be honest, not "OMGZ!! THEY LOOK SIMILAR, NEWS STORY!!!".
This.Slycne said:Nah, I think you're looking into it too much. A triangle composition is often used in art for its strong lines and promoting the eye to be drawn to a specific point, many famous works of art are structured this way. The outstretched arms draw the eyes to the face. It's not pure coincidence or intentionally copying, just basic design structure.CantFaketheFunk said:Iron Man or Whiplash, doesn't change the image itself being a pretty clear copy

That be Whiplash matey, looks pretty goddamn awesome though.
Would be willing to go see it, since Iron Man 1 rocked.

It's not really fair to call it a ripoff. It's not like that pose is exactly revealing or imaginative. It's just a generic cool-looking pose.

Anyway, yeah that does look cool, and I think I'm going to enjoy this supervillain alot more then the previous one. Also, I realize now that I've never had any idea who Mickey Rourke really is, and if I was shown a picture of him, I wouldn't know it was him.
It probably doesn't help that he was heavily made up in one of the last major roles he played (Marv in Sin City).Vohn_exel said:
Not to get off topic, but how do you even pronounce Gyllenheimerschmidt? Anyways, I really want to say that it's just a coincidence, Iron Man is a big enough title that it doesn't need to copy off another movie. However people in Hollywood do talk, and ideas do get thrown around a lot.CantFaketheFunk said:
