So the "Green Knight" movie looks like it's heavily inspired by Dark Souls

[sn00zer]

That's Dark Souls right? Im looking a Dark Souls inspired movie arent I?

 

[Aurica]

I didn't feel that way when I watched the trailer.

 

[Vondudu]

Dark soul have not invented dark Fantasy.....

 

[¡ B 0 0 P !]

Dark Souls did not invent the Gothic medieval horror vibe. Soooo no.

 

[Crushed]

dark souls did not invent castles and armor and shadows and fire

 

[808s & Villainy]

Lol nah

 

[Deleted member 34873]

I don't want to dogpile OP but lol

 

[Eidan]

Gamers...

 

[pikachief]

That didnt look like anything dark souls to me. Maybe it was inspired by the dark fantasy stories dark souls was inspired by.

Even then probably not.

 

[super-famicom]

The Green Knight is the Dark Souls of A24 films!

Also, the game did have a "Green Knight" armor set:

 

[Tuorom]

lmao how old are you OP

 

[Dest]

no
stop

 

[Biestmann]

Not once watching this did I think 'This reminds me of Dark Souls'.

 

[1upsuper]

The Green Knight? As in Gawain and the Green Knight?

 

[sn00zer]

Y'all are butts. I'll bump this thread in a year when the director does an interview and calls it out

 

[HK-47]

Unless it starts showing signs of ripping off all its best visual ideas from Berserk, than no.

 

[soda_culture]

It's an adaptation of a 14th-century poem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Gawain_and_the_Green_Knight

 

[Swiggins]

The Dark Souls of A24 Films.

OP, Stop it, get help.

 

[Alric]

First thing I thought this was about was " Sword of the Valiant" with Sean Connery. I remember watching that as a kid, it was so trippy.

 

[fade]

More like Dark Souls is heavily inspired by the source material that Green Knight is based on.

The Green Knight? As in Gawain and the Green Knight?

Yeah, A24 is making it, coming out later this year.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

That thread title made me cringe. Good lord OP, DS didn't invent castles, knights, and gloom

 

[1upsuper]

Yeah, A24 is making it, coming out later this year.

Huh, that's neat.

 

[Absoludacrous]

This video will never not be relevant

 

[Fonst]

Dark Souls did not event knights and medieval times.

 

[gogojira]

Since Dark Souls invented everything, absolutely yes of course why not. Everything is Dark Souls.

 

[super-famicom]

If anyone wants to actually talk about the film and its source material, and not dunk on OP, there's this thread in OT: https://www.resetera.com/threads/th...v-patel-alicia-vikander-joel-edgerton.169854/

 

[the_wart]

oh ffs come on people

 

[dom]

You mean Berserk? Since Dark Souls already copies that.

 

[monmagman]

Not seeing it tbh OP.

 

[EdibleKnife]

1st Act: Weapon crafting & farming lizard tails
2nd Act: Gawain dying to common mobs & dodge rolling more often than walking
Last act: Final battle where Gawain is joined by two random ethereal characters we've never seen before to help him fight

 

[nded]

Hey OP, check out Brotherhood of the Wolf.

 

[Fendajaz]

Are we finally getting a sequel to Black Knight!?

 

[SunBroDave]

Look at me. Look at my avatar.

No.

Martin Lawrence Cinematic Universe when

 

[shoemasta]

More like the opposite way around OP

(The original Green Knight poem influenced Dark Souls)

 

[@dedmunk]

sorry OP I aint seeing it

 

[s y]

whos gonna make the "dark souls looks heavily inspired by berserk:" thread

 

[softtack]

It was inspired by Monty Python, get it straight.

 

[Hey Please]

Bruh... I posted this today in the morning....

Aesthetically, looks like Dark Souls of movies.

🥴

I have no idea about Green knight's legend. Time to google.

Please consume other dark fantasy works

 

[FormatCompatible]

The Green Knight is the King's Field of movies.

 

[No Depth]

How difficult will it be to buy tickets????!!!
Will I require jolly cooperation?

 

[Jessie]

I watched a show on Netflix called The Witcher and it felt like it was ripped straight out of The Elder Scrolls.

 

[R.T Straker]

People like OP actually make me embarrassed of being a Souls fan.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

It's an adaptation of a 14th-century poem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Gawain_and_the_Green_Knight

That 14th century poem is the Dark Souls of poetry.

 

[crespo]

I did enjoy a comment saying this looks like a Dark Souls version of a Wes Anderson movie, but that's about as much DS as I got out of this trailer.

Either way, I am watching the shit out of it. Looks amazing.

 

[MillionIII]

Ah finally a film for hardcore gamers

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

Dark Souls invented hot takes

 

[fundogmo]

Poor OP is getting murdered.

To take the heat off, everyone should check out this trailer to Excalibur (1981), which no doubt had a great influence on Berserk, and eventually Dark Souls.
