You do know the film is based on one Frank Miller's graphic novels right? It was published in the 1980 IIRC.

Funny I thought you'd be a decent addition to the community at first, first impressions heh..

Edit: Actually I was wrong, the storyline was based on The Long Halloween apparantly. Pusblished in '96. So if you're talking about Metal Gear Solid 4 you're way off, if the MGS series in general.. MGS was published in '98 I think.

 

 

I was going to point out the fact that Dark Knight was already ready to hit the theaters when MGS4 was released so yeah, probably the other way around, MGS copy Batman if ANYTHING.  but mearly coincidental me thinks.

What we need is a stupidity disclaimer. It kinda works like a thumbs up/down system. The first brave pioneers venture into a thread and decide the level of sanity. If it's balls-against-the-wall nutty as this, you can click the "retard button", thus rendering the thread in question somwhere in the loony bin-area. It's still visible in the forums, but it will have a disclaimer that you're about to enter a dangerously stupid thread.

Um...

TDK was an awsome movie.
The only people I have heard say anything negative are people who think people who love it only like it because of the circumstance about Heath Ledger and such... it is almost like they dont want to like it so they cant be accused of liking it because a dead guy gave and incredible preformance. its really weird.

 

No, people are negative because TDK is now the highest rated movie of all time according to IMDB which is utterly pathetic and ridiculous to stomach for someone who has watched thousands of movies from various era's and countries.

So if the Dark Knight influences in MGS 4 are disgraceful, then how disgraceful are the Escape From New York references in MGS as a series? The whole character's image, name, Naked Snake's eyepatch, the raspy voice are all taken from Kurt Russel's character Snake Plissken. How disgraceful! In fact Kojima himself must be disgraceful because he admits how influenced he is by motion pictures in his games. Wasn't Snatcher just a big Blade Runner ripoff and Policenauts was Lethal Weapon in space?

It's a good thing you ran from this topic quickly so you don't have to answer many replies that show the innacuracies in your arguments.

 

The difference is Kojima admits his influences and pays respect to its creators by doing so. The creator of TDK hasn't admitted that he took many of his ideas from Kojima and that's whats shameful here.

I never said TDK copied from MGS4 specifically, it stole ideas from the entire 10 years franchise of MGS.
