Random: Check Out These "Epic" Free Guy Posters Inspired By Iconic Video Game Covers

Nintendo: Demand!

Okay but that third one. It looks like Final Fight or Fatal Fury, but I don't think its either. The others are all iconic... I'm struggling with that.

Since Nintendo is lawsuit happy, do we think they will try to sue.
Do these violate a copyright or something

I think that Mario 64 one's going to give me nightmares...

@link3710 Street Fighter II

@link3710 close, it's actually street fighter 2

Okay the OG US Mega Man box art spoof is golden.

@link3710

@link3710 Blanka doing a barrel roll.

The Mega Man one is my favorite, it's awful like the original!

@blindsquarel Some of the posters are based on properties that aren't theirs so no

I actually like these, but am I the only one that this movie is trying just a bit to hard at being. .....IDK apart of the video game fandom?

@link3710 oh I thought it was Street fighter 2 , and Ryan was the Blanka pose

@blindsquarel These would fall under "right to parody," so there's no copyright issues with these posters.

@link3710 No, it’s street fighter II. Come on. You really should know this. Like really. There’s a reason that half of the comments are responding to you.

Sarcasm implied. Can never be too careful on this site.

@JR150

And still somehow less cursed

Have no idea if the movie is going to be good, frankly I kind of doubt it, but these posters are fantastic.

@Snatcher Agreed. I too like these but it does feel a little like it's saying "ha, I'm so in on the joke, right guys?" 😄. Were there other kinds of promo you saw for it that made you feel that way? Just curious, it sounded a little like it to me.

That Mega Man one is priceless

I love this, and to be fair I might actually go to the cinema to see this, been waiting on it for ages.

@StefanN Ya, alot of them actually, All the trailers and the actor are kinda pushing it, I mean, it was even at the summer game fest.

Film looks awful

@Snatcher Its getting good reviews over the past week so, IDK, I'll give it a go.

Also, this was meant to come out over a year ago, so, they really need this to make money. Thats why there is a massive push for it. I remember, before covid, Ryan Reynolds was starting the push for Free Guy, but that all stopped in 2020.

I hope it does well.

@readyletsgo Same.

Hey! The Mega Man one isn't the ugliest! Wait, maybe it is.

Have to say, my initial reaction to it was a huge amount of scepticism. But it's been reviewing very positively. A large part of that positivity seems to centre around the fact that it gets videogame culture.

Well, it's no Baelin's Route.. But . ok, I'll give it a go.

@LavaTwilight Yeah, I didn't get too far through that one. A lot of K-Dramas seem to go down the "And then they fell in love, and all the original plot fell out the window" route. It's hard to find a good one that keeps the sci-fi element throughout.

Never heard of the movie, but this posters look pretty cool.

I LOVE the American Mega Man box art design. This is absolutely hilarious and I love that they referenced Mega Man.

@Snatcher Oooh okay, interesting. Thank you!

The trailer looks interesting. I may give it a go. Really digging the poster art.

This movie was delayed by like 3 years. So the New Horizons parody is clearly a new poster. I wonder if all of the parody posters were created more recently by the ad-teams of if any of them are remnants from when they hoped the movie would initially release.

Not /especially/ interested in the movie, will probably catch it on streaming one day, but I do like it when movies do fun stuff like this!
