Iron man PLAGIARIZES starcraft 2

When I saw this clip I was OUTRAGED. I cannot believe it. Just look for yourself.

Nothing else needs to be said cept.... what the %&$#?

 

Tonnes of things use the same concept of people being suited up by machines. From StarCraft to Ironman, even Wallace and Grommit. It's nothing unique to StarCraft or anything so it's not plagiarised.

 

Its not the concept so much as it is the execution

 

Rip off, or homage?

Jon Favreau could very well be a SC fan.

I'll let you decide.

For the record, Tony Stark>Tychus Findlay.

 

yes iron man > terran marine.

but

ghost + iron man suit = gg.

 

Been there, done that

 

that's such a strong word to crtisize iron-man, i believe that it was definitely not plagiarism coz iron-man has been first born since starcraft.. stan lees marvel heroes were created long time even before we get to knew the terran marines from sc1 now would that hurt you if what was the truth is iron-mans the first of its kind???

anyways they arent even comparable so its senseless to discuss plagiarism.. they are both unique in their own aspects and amounts the same respect as they should period. ^_^

 

Thats quite annoying.. Stealing blizzards brilliant execution of the idea. Even the stages of how the suit is put on is similar, along with the camera shots and the ****ing colour of the mechanical handles of the machine.

But rofl now that i watch it again, i think blizzards actually did it a lot better xD. Just goes to show how ftw blizzard is i suppose.

 

And how many things has Starcraft "ripped off" from other sources? The dropship is a rip off from the dropship in Aliens. The colossus is a rip off from War of the Worlds. Just the concept of humans fighting an insect-like alien race spreading through the galaxy is a rip off. But no one cares because things get reused and recycled all the time.

 

Actually, I'd like to put forth the notion that NOTHING is original. Everything has been done, in some shape or form.

 

But this looks almost exactly like the SC2 trailer... Ok that there aren't many new ideas nowadays, but this is too much

 

Idd its not even a subtle copy. its just so blatant.

 

So how long has that video of what's his name been out? I can't see them having that recorded as one of the first scenes, as that way they give the CG guys LOTS of time to work with those scenes..I mean, I doubt they finished that up a couple months ago.

 

I agree Fenix, nothing is really original they just get reused. But I think it would've been funny if he said "It's about time" now that would've been a copy.

 

It's not the idea, its actually JUST like the SC2 announcement trailer with the Marin getting suited up. Sci-Fi suits are nothing original to SC< but the composition of this scene looks suspiciously similar to the cinematic from SC2!!

 

chris benoit is right, but as ive said theres no point in saying ironman plagiarized.........

and what kind of notion is that?? saying nothing is original.. are you trying to point out that we are mere copies of our perfect selves?? its pretty pointless saying nothing is original but maybe you are just the one whos like everybody else.. i strongly believe everyone is unique hence the reason a brain cell of mine emitted impulses to form these reaction lolz

somethings ARE original.... peace

 

First off, Blizzard isn't the only company to have this style of execution, and it's not even that hard to come up with. Yes, Blizzard executed it well, but that does not instantly mean that they're the only ones to have come up with that concept or style of execution.

Secondly, about the stages of how the suit is being put on, if you're talking about the order, it's not the same, and if you're still talking about the fact that it's a machine that's equipping him, again, apart from tonnes of people having come up with that idea, they're still not the same. StarCraft2 has it all welded and screwed into Tychus, and Iron Man has the suit being all pulled in at once and being locked into place that way. Iron Man was around ages before StarCraft2 was announced so apart from the fact that the comic almost definitely had cells of the armour being put on in the same way, they already had their design for the suit, etc. In short, neither are put on in the same order and neither are executed in the same way.

Thirdly, about the camera shots, what else would you expect? Again, this is nothing unique to Blizzard and it's not as though they came up with this brilliant and innovative new camera technique, it's just common sense. If you're having an epic scene of a man slowly getting armoured up, you're going to have a close up shot of it. It's not as though they're going to have it from far away or upside down or anything, because you can see how that would completely mess up the scene. Close camera shots are pretty much the only way to go.

Fourthly, again, machines like these are stereotypically these sorts of colours. They've got the metal hands, and the rest is commonly yellow, as if for safety reasons, etc. Again, nothing unique to Blizzard's execution of it.

Lastly, who's to say that Blizzard's was actually created first? Both StarCraft2 and Iron Man, the movie, would have been in the development stage for years, so just because Blizzard's was released first it doesn't mean that the Iron Man movie couldn't have already had that particular scene.

 

Stop being so mad you silly men.
From transformers, to halo, to all sorts of other things, men are suited in armor. as previously stated, no one is ripping off blizzard. Ironman is a very old comic book and it was here before starcraft was. that's not to say SC is ripping off anyone, either. As also stated earlier, the concept of people being suited in armor or ,achines has been done. As well as the execution. the thing is people are just fascinated with machines, that's all ^-^

[edit] Preach Hex, preach~

 

Name one thing in today's world that has never been done before by machine, man, or nature.
