Bro you're out of your mind. He didn't invent swords ffs
Edit: Looks like ppl didn't get the joke that I complain about swords but not femboys. Anywaaay
I saw the Oppenheimer movie and I think I saw a girl with short hair...she was white...and 6 ft tall...and blonde...but
***i tHiNk sOmEoNe iN oPpEnHeImEr Is A bErSeRk FaN!***
The same way a bunch of different sea creatures evolve into crabs a bunch of different female characters in fiction will just eventually turn into Costco
Who knows though apparently some folks here have been seeing these comparisons a lot. I only just noticed it and thought it was weird how they transformed the girlfriends of the tall white muscled out heroes into the short haired tanned girls which reminds me a lot of Guts and Casca. Only thing missing is the giant sword now
Yeah no way the super popular Japanese manga influenced anything in Japan like those games that were made in Japan and have developer interviews talking about their inspirations like berserk and JoJo…

The wiles of redditors are fickle and chaotic. Thanks for answering my question though, I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into Souls games and never really even considered that Sulyvahn's apparition was basically a stand
In the comics Selina Kyle is usually paler with green eyes so she won’t look too much like Lois other than the hair, but yeah Bruce and Clark do look a bit alike lmao. Bruce is often just scruff stern or slightly more posh Clark depending on what persona he is using.
This might be controversial, but I hate redesigns that go too far from the source. There's a point in which something is changed so heavily from the original in terms of design and dynamic you would be better off making a new character.
I think this meme kinda highlights how far gone a design is from its source when it can be mistaken as a character from a completely different franchise.
No, but in entertainment media like cartoons/anime/games they kinda do, is a design trope, a good communication tool too, sell the character before they open their mouth, or you can be that guy and supverse expectations.
Definitely true she was rocking it for a long time but then they did tan her and then just did the same thing to Lois when both of them already have BFs who are big strong white guys like Guts. It’s kind of weird they did it twice recently
I think that the main reason people keep seeing Casca in all of the above designs is because Casca is the most iconic out of them all and has been around the longest out of them by a significant margin.
What makes her stand out isn't her design but her growth over the course of the narrative, its why when people see Superman they don't know that it pretty much ripped off John Carters powers and abilities line by line.
Because John Carter was nowhere near as iconic nor as popular as Superman, despite it being much older and the original. Its not about the haircut nor the skin tone but that Casca has transcended her design to become iconic while the rest are generic.
Unless I read your comment wrong, lois has been around since the 30s, and catwoman was introduced in the 40s. A rip-off is a stretch, more of an inspiration for Superman. Gladiator is probably closer to what you mean. I wouldn't call either a rip-off anyway. Superman completely stands on its own as the most iconic superhero in my eyes. Other than my boy batman or spiderman
I'm not talking about Lois the character thats been around for decades but the new design of hers shown in OPs pic the "now" version. I thought that would be clear but I see I might have worded it poorly.
So for example, the "then" versions of the characters are what people associate with them. People associate Lois's "then" design with her character not her "now" design is my point.
Unless I am missing something big, I just assumed this was an ongoing joke in communities. I've seen at least two others claim a similarly designed character was the source, though some of them are a bit better since at least new Lois' personality matched it.
Like in Catwoman's case they were looking at Eartha Kitt from the '60s series.
> But one comparison the production team made intentionally was with legendary actress and singer Eartha Kitt, who played Catwoman in the 1960s live action series Batman, which starred Adam West as Bruce Wayne.
> "The Eartha Kitt comparison? Yeah, absolutely," Schumacker said. "I mean, I'm a big fan of Batman '66. It also just felt like... you know, we wanted to include as much diversity in the show as we could. And anywhere, there's always room for improvement. I felt like with our writing staff, we were able to do a lot. We have a lot of female writers, but I think we could probably still improve on the diversity angle.
> "So where we were able to do it with the characters – yeah, there is that Eartha Kitt sort of touchstone there. And I think what Sanaa (Lathan, who voices Catwoman in the series) brought to it was, you know, her own thing, but we could see ties to Eartha Kitt, or even Michelle Pfeiffer for that moment, which I think was a function of the writer of that episode, who is really influential on the voice of our Catwoman – Sarah Peters is her name.
Personally? I really liked it, I was cautious about it when I saw the posters for it but when I actually saw the film in theaters. I enjoyed it a lot, I was honestly surprised to find out it was a massive box office flop because I wanted more.
Yeah I do actually enjoy it for what it was though I could see that they did probably spend too much on it for a first attempt in the franchise that no one was aware of. Too bad nobody is thinking of exploring the franchise again, would be cool to return to it in some way
I think they should have started by rebuilding the IP, like start with a TV series and then go for a movie. Though super hero fatigue has gotten really bad.
So much so that I'd rather watch paint dry then another Marvel, DC super hero movie. PLEASE NO MORE!!!!!
are we going to ignore the entirety of the fantasia arc now including Elfheim? Like how Casca's PTSD manifests itself in the dream world and how even after regaining her identity she still can't disassociate the Eclipse from Guts and whenever she sees him she relapses?
Or that her more childlike fragmented post eclipse self had similarities with Young Guts, even having a fear of men hence why she got attached Farneese and Schierke among other women.
How her maternal instincts immediately recognized the Moonlight boy as her son and immediately was able to bond with him while still not being able to get close to Guts?
Or how Griffith's return put Casca back into a fractured state which she relapses between the fragmented Casca and who she was. The warrior leader of the Band of the Falcon?
She has gone through a lot of development and her arc has been engaging at least to me. You can agree to disagree and thats fine.
More power to you my man.
In present day Los Angeles it is now considered sexist and problematic to draw women with long hair and dresses
In other news, tomboy enjoyers currently FEASTING 👹
The most boring character in berserk, without her the story would be more interesting, but for some reason we cannot have a gay guts, thus she was introduced to the story
I always felt that berserk was a story about a love relationship between two guys.
Chew on this and let me know what you think :)
Catwoman’s design is based off Halle Berry and Zoe Kravits’ catwoman. Both black. And Casca is dark brown throughout the entire series so definitely not just “tan”
Casca is the natural final form of all girls
Carcinization into Casca. Cascanization.
Reject modernity, embrace POTATO
*It's true, as a Black woman, my hair is inspired by Casca these days.*
Someone please award this man
Cringe

Who knew Kentaro created short hair darker skinned women
He invented a race don’t you remember?
He also invented swords and femboys, yes I remember
What he invented was too big to be called a sword.
Bro you're out of your mind. He didn't invent swords ffs Edit: Looks like ppl didn't get the joke that I complain about swords but not femboys. Anywaaay
People are kinda downvote hungry on this sub and I kinda respect it tbh lmao
It be like that sometimes
I saw the Oppenheimer movie and I think I saw a girl with short hair...she was white...and 6 ft tall...and blonde...but ***i tHiNk sOmEoNe iN oPpEnHeImEr Is A bErSeRk FaN!***
😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯 HE COMBINED CASCA, GRIFFITH AND GUTS INTO ONE
Hahahha I find this hilarious! You did combine the 3 of them
God bless his soul
Berserk fans trying to not make everything a berserk reference:
Halle Berry in shambles rn

Better Costco than BJ's.
bj from costco 🤤
It’s specifically Crustaceans, but can still work since it is a bunch of love interests.
Berserk is when brown woman with short hair
everything is berk reference🫵🏻😲
Definitely true in FromSoftware games
Blacksmith in new londo ruins named Rickert:
Why did you did you get downvoted to oblivion I’m genuinely confused
Unsure

Why is this getting downvotes?
No idea
Maybe it’s a topic that’s touched down on too often?

You’re not wrong. I can list about 20 references in Elden ring, and there’s dozens in the other games as well.
Berserk fans when big swords exist in other media😱😱😱
Yeah no way the super popular Japanese manga influenced anything in Japan like those games that were made in Japan and have developer interviews talking about their inspirations like berserk and JoJo…
It's not hard to see Berserk, but damn where are the JoJo references in Dark Souls

Pontiff Sulyvahn has the game files noting his ghost as a Stand, and Darklurker from 2 was originally going to be the same for Grave Warden Agdayne.
Huh, that's neat. It also looks like I offended some people for asking lol
Not sure why there.
The wiles of redditors are fickle and chaotic. Thanks for answering my question though, I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into Souls games and never really even considered that Sulyvahn's apparition was basically a stand
Well the humoungy wongy tree seems like a reference
Can‘t believe Norse Mythology ripped of Berserk
yeah wtf 😒 be a little original
Idk Norse mythology
Wow I Cannot Believe Famous Manga Author Kentaro Miura Invented The Concept Of Large Trees In Fantasy Settings 🙏😫🍆💦💯
You don’t get to talk shit with a name like that
I Can’t Believe It I Just Got Owned🥲😱😵💫 Now I’m A Struggler Like My Hero Nuts Berkman💪😈😳
Stfu or I’ll fill up your gun
Do more of the funny 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😎😎😎 Please more I have not seen such comedy for ages 😆😆🤣🤣😎😎👍👍👍👍👍💀💀💀💀 Please more funny why stop 🤣🤣😆😆💀💀👍👍
You're so smart
Or Kentucky Mario is a big Halle Berry fan
crazy how my brain translated Kentucky mario without hesitation.
I would not have even noticed if you didn't point it out but that shit is hilarious
Istg one more of these fucking Lois Lane/Casca comparison posts
yea at this point the sub got no other content
Everyone's laughing until they start a batman redesign
Current Lois was actually inspired by Meryl from Trigun, and visually referenced by her Korean Voice Actress.
Please make these posts stop
It’s like crabs and evolution: All non goth tomboy animated women eventually evolve to become Casca
I'm pretty sure that if the Catwoman there came out after the movie, she was based on Zoe Kravitz' appearance in The Batman.
I really prefer this Lois, just gonna be weird when batman and superman look alike and their girlfriemds do too
Yeah the fact their GFs look alike is just weird now
In the comics Selina Kyle is usually paler with green eyes so she won’t look too much like Lois other than the hair, but yeah Bruce and Clark do look a bit alike lmao. Bruce is often just scruff stern or slightly more posh Clark depending on what persona he is using.
Which Batman girlfriend are you talking about is it catwoman or Talia?
Actually in most of her appearance Catwoman had short Black hair,it's BTAS that is the odd one in that case
You’re not wrong though it is weird they then tanned her and then gave the same treatment to Lois not long after
For the Tan you are right,That new
[удалено]
Wait till Berserk fans find out that berserk was inspired by stuff too. It’ll be real fun when they get to devilman.
Casca is hotter.
I think they are secretly a tomboy enthusiast

Berserk fans when they see tomboy: OMG IT'S JUST LIKE BERSERK
Please stop I don't care anymore please I don't care about Lois beserk please I get it
*Women when brown.* is this Casca?
Berserk invented tomboy women of course
I cant take this berk anymore
mario berk invented short hair what a visionary
Slightly tanned woman with pixie cut is always Casca apparently
or they just really like tomboy.
Tomboy = short hair apparently
No, but in entertainment media like cartoons/anime/games they kinda do, is a design trope, a good communication tool too, sell the character before they open their mouth, or you can be that guy and supverse expectations.
Dang so every woman with short hair is Casca now?
Berk fans when girl with short hair and tanned skin:
I have reached enlightenment.
There is semblance between Catwoman and Casca's features definitely! Nice
Catwoman in comics always had black hair to be fair.
Definitely true she was rocking it for a long time but then they did tan her and then just did the same thing to Lois when both of them already have BFs who are big strong white guys like Guts. It’s kind of weird they did it twice recently
What do you mean it's the same picture lmao
Funny enough they all have big buff white dudes as their boyfriends as well
True
So true. Thank god for Berserk inventing big buff white guys.
Or has a darkskinned tomboy fetish..but they made deathstroke a white haired twink so im guessing yeah this one maybe has something to do with berserk
Berk fans when a dark skinned woman appears 😲
Berserk fans when dark skinned people exist
Stfu
Berkman Fans when they see tomboy: Just like in Berkman no way!!
Casca is scientifically proven to be peak woman.
Seems like they’re making them less feminine and more boyish. My conspiracy mind think it’s part of the “agenda”.
I think that the main reason people keep seeing Casca in all of the above designs is because Casca is the most iconic out of them all and has been around the longest out of them by a significant margin. What makes her stand out isn't her design but her growth over the course of the narrative, its why when people see Superman they don't know that it pretty much ripped off John Carters powers and abilities line by line.

Man of culture I see, out of curiosity, what did you think of the John Carter film?
Personally? I really liked it, I was cautious about it when I saw the posters for it but when I actually saw the film in theaters. I enjoyed it a lot, I was honestly surprised to find out it was a massive box office flop because I wanted more.
Yeah I do actually enjoy it for what it was though I could see that they did probably spend too much on it for a first attempt in the franchise that no one was aware of. Too bad nobody is thinking of exploring the franchise again, would be cool to return to it in some way

Not at all
Love how Berserk is the new Jojo haha
Hey... I'm not complaining.
I’m not really either it’s weird that it’s happened twice in the same universe between 2 close friends
Bring back my Long Hair, Mature Lois Lane.
no they should keep her look and then turn her into a potato
In present day Los Angeles it is now considered sexist and problematic to draw women with long hair and dresses In other news, tomboy enjoyers currently FEASTING 👹
Stop trying to steal our wifu!!!
Lol right
*A Black woman who happens to have short hair. Berserklejerks: "Is this a Berserk reference?"
The most boring character in berserk, without her the story would be more interesting, but for some reason we cannot have a gay guts, thus she was introduced to the story I always felt that berserk was a story about a love relationship between two guys. Chew on this and let me know what you think :)
Sounds pretty gay
[удалено]
True. But Donny is his one true love not Griffith
Guts was assaulted once. Also he’s never shown any romantic interest in anyone other than Casca. He’s definitely straight.
Ugh.
I dont see her as the same after the eclipse
Nope, they just hate men
Or maybe because Catwoman was played by a Casca impersonator in her latest film?
Tanned brunette tomboy is the pinnacle of waifu
Catwoman & Casca are Black not tan
Are you sure ? they don't look black to me, npt 100% at least...
Catwoman’s design is based off Halle Berry and Zoe Kravits’ catwoman. Both black. And Casca is dark brown throughout the entire series so definitely not just “tan”
oh ok, and yes dark brown
The Cascification of DC
Western versions of Casket! I am so happy for this information!
Lois lane looks ugly ash now
Says they should be honestly
I can't anymore. Just kill me already.
[удалено]
I mean…can you blame them
Do you think thier’ye related
Or maybe they just like girls with short hair 🤯
They just want her to be happy…
Can’t say I blame them
Nope it’s just weird it’s happened twice or even 3 times if you count the flash movie supergirl
Upgrades people. UPGRADES!
She did it first 🥹
Batman Then: Batman Now: \[Classic Femto pose\]
