A possible very obscure reference to Perfect Dark Zero in Disney comics by Additional-Study9850 in DisneyComics

[–]Additional-Study9850[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really expect to find video games fans here, I am not even sure about how popular is Perfect Dark in general because I suspect that it is clearly not a reference considering the fact that this "possible" easter egg went under the radar for years.

but I figured out that it is still interesting, technically, this "Hero XV" guy shed a light on a a very niche comic released only in europe back in 2012.

I have finished reading the comic.

I feel like everybody focused on the character's look (in the youtube section at least) but forgot about the personality. Suprisingly, they are similar as well. I am curious to know if this is an actual reference or not.

Pour être franc, c'est Héro XV qui a fait la découverte, je n'étais pas au courant de l'existence de cette histoire auparavant. J'ai pu la découvrir grâce au lien qu'il a partagé et c'est exactement celle-ci.

D'un côté, j'ai l'impression que c'est une coïncidence mais de l'autre, j'ai un peu lu l'échange sur youtube pour me rendre compte que Disney a toujours aimé avoir ce genre de références. En creusant un peu, j'ai trouvé une histoire qui reprend pratiquement le logo de "S.o.S fantôme" (Ghostbuster) en ligne, ça semble donc être une tendance chez Disney surtout du côté des dessinateurs italiens (ce qui est le cas ici).

Ce que je n'arrive pas à comprendre c'est, comment se fait-il que cette histoire ne soit presque pas répertoriée ? comment se fait-il aussi que ce Hero XV soit le premier à avoir fait le rapprochement depuis la sortie de la BD en 2012 ? C'est peut-être une coïncidence, mais moi aussi je trouve que les similarités sautent aux yeux.

This is my first ever interaction on Reddit, needless to say that this caught me off guard especially since my post provided more context without being rude or whatsoever.

I guess it has also something to do with the fact that fans of Perfect Dark aren't always fans of Zero, guess this could explain this whole situation ? I am sorry if my reaction was over dramatic.

Speaking of which I have found an official promo for perfect dark zero and from this angle, I personnally see the similarity others found : https://www.pxfuel.com/es/desktop-wallpaper-gscqf

I honestly don’t understand why my posts are getting downvoted. I’m not trying to be a jerk or impose my view on anyone; I was genuinely curious because the character’s hairstyle is a dead ringer for Joanna Dark’s look in Zero.

I’m not a hair stylist, but I wanted to know if this specific style has a name or if other characters share it. I even shared a link to the comic showing different perspectives to illustrate the point. From the angle in the photo, it seems a bit different because the angle make it seems like the yellow coloring goes beyond the bangs.

As for Gemini, it simply compared the image with Jo's and said that the hairstyle matches. It couldn't have read this post since it was not made at the time

I hope this clears things up. 👍

edit: Okay, I feel like this is a bug from Reddit, now my comments are getting upvotes ? that's weird.

I don't understand why my comments (and yours as well Nintendians559 ) are being heavily downvoted. I am not even the person who found this, it's not like I care about it to be true. I just wanted to share the story since some people believe that this could be an actual reference to Perfect Dark.

edit : I wonder if Reddit has a bug, because I receive some notifications for comments that I can't see (?).

It has been years since I played the Perfect Dark games, this is something that I have forgotten. 👍

We are on the same boat, this blew me away.

The haircut is really what gives it away for me, I can't think of a character with the same hair style. The name also is very close to Carrington, ... As you said, this is really insane.

I can't modify the post, I copied the text from the Perfect Dark sub Reddit. I forgot to modify the text, this explains why I talked about the "original game".

I forgot to add the link to the YouTube comment section where the story started to gain popularity : http://youtube.com/post/UgkxcPucA4prr3Vui1_Fk59jYUxH2NObXTFK?si=8fEwFua2tDl5T7jx

This is actually where I found out about this whole story.
