You Don't Look Like You: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

* Virtually every character in the ''[[Tokyo Majin]]'' anime does not resemble their original character designs. Some characters such as Marie and Kozunu have it worse than others in that they not only do not look like their original designs but their personalities were also drastically altered.

* At the start of the ''[[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]]'' manga, very few Pokémon resembled their official designs. Rumor has it the designs were based off what the mangaka thought the sprites looked like, [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters/pm_01/03_wild_poke.jpg which looked incredibly off]. As the series went on the Pokémon started looking more like their game counterparts, even resembling the official art better then other adaptations in some examples.

** Not all counterparts of game protagonists look identical to the protagonist. [http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/3695/148542-249px_mitsumib_large.jpg Mitsumi] from ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]'' looks very little like her [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/1c/Diamond_Pearl_Dawn.png game counterpart]. [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/ac/Shuu.png Shu] and [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/a4/Red_E_Chapter_Adventures.png Red] look very little like their [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/53/Red_Green_Red.png game counterpart], even more so after the redesigns for the remake.

* Big Mom from ''[[One Piece]]'' looked like [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120101192607/onepiece/images/9/9b/BigMomGP.jpg this]{{Dead link}} when the Four Emperors were first mentioned. However, when she made her first physical appearance in the story, she looked like ''[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111228114009/onepiece/images/c/c2/Big_Mam.png this]{{Dead link}}''. In other words, she went from looking like a typical [[Gonk]] in her appearance as a silouette to horrific when she actually appeared. However, it's possible that Oda wanted to tweak her character design to make her more intimidating for when we first see her.

Line 74:

** In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' he had a case of You Don't Sound Like You. [[So Bad It's Good|Let's go, Junior]]!

** And King Boo in all appearances. [[Luigi's Mansion]] had him look plain horrifying, later games made him a normal(ish) goofy looking Boo with a crown who was just a standard [[King Mook]].

* The FMV opening in remakes of ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' depicts, in rough order of appearance, the [[Big Bad]] [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070324001446/finalfantasy/images/c/ca/FF2_Emperor.jpg Emperor Palamecia] [[The Hero]] [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080420191733/finalfantasy/images/8/83/Pers_Firion.jpg Firion], [[The Big Guy]] [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080225080751/finalfantasy/images/1/1d/Amano_Guy.jpg erm...Guy], [[Black Magician Girl]] [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080225080647/finalfantasy/images/5/56/Amano_Maria.jpg Maria] ([[Stripperiffic|image mildly NSFW]]), and [[Black Knight]] [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080225080550/finalfantasy/images/1/18/Leon.jpg Leon]. And some [[Night of the Living Mooks|mooks]], but no one cares about them. See the opening [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtt9PUZWKiY here], and marvel at the differences. Leon doesn't get it too bad, Guy is badly altered but still basically "Guy," Firion and Maria resemble the actual character only vaguely, and if you hadn't been told beforehand that that was the Emperor, you would not recognize him.

* The entire original ''[[Alone in the Dark]]'' trilogy is the only time Edward Carnby ever kept his appearance consistent. Carnby himself has his appearance changed about three times, and that's not counting [[Alone in the Dark (2005 film)|the Uwe Boll movie]] [http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=freezeframe-75 but rather counting] ''[[Covers Always Lie|his ingame appearance after the boxart of the 2008 reboot!]]''

* ''[[Quake II]]'s'' Strogg race have received a total makeover in ''[[Quake 4|Quake IV]]''.

Line 85:

* The ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' version of Pit from ''[[Kid Icarus]]''. Also serves as an [[Early-Bird Cameo]] of the character's incarnation in the upcoming game ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.

** A similar case could be made for the ''Super Smash Bros'' interpretation of [[Fire Emblem Akaneia|Marth]] - while he retains the basic design tenets, he looks fairly different from his appearances in earlier games ''and'' subsequent games. In the case of subsequent games, this was accidental - the ''Shadow Dragon'' redesign of Marth was finalised just as they'd finalised his appearance in ''Brawl'', with neither development team having any idea of the other redesign effort until the ''SSB'' group came to show the ''Fire Emblem'' group their finalised Marth.

* ''[[StarCraft II]]'' gives Jim Raynor almost a complete redesign. [http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nhSrUCC4Kl8/0.jpg This] is him in the original ''Starcraft'', while [http://www.freewebs.com/starcraftnurdz/hero-raynor-thumb-02.jpg this] is him in the sequel.
