The other day I was thinking that Charlie Sheen would be perfect as Gordon Freeman but then I realized that The Arrival is like 30 years old and even older than Half-Life.
>>719516490It's a decent sci-fi film that never found its audience.Personally I love how 90s it is.
But we still black Gordon, r-right, guys?…right? ;_;
>>719516490>then I realized that The Arrival is like 30 years old and even older than Half-LifeThere's a good chance that Freeman is directly based on Sheen's character, at least visually.
>>719516490Legitimately one of the greatest movies ever made, alongside Last Action Hero, Rumble in the Bronx, and Baby's Day Out
>>719517906This is what Gordon looked like pre-The Arrival
>>719516490You posted this on /tv/
>>719518193Gordon's design and redesign had nothing to do with The Arrival. Harry Teasley came up with the initial design based on "big beefy bearded Linux programmers" such as co-worker Ken Birdwell. Chuck Jones took that design and translated into the blocky 3D version that became known as "Ivan the Spacebiker," where he was primarily looking at Quake's blocky models and focusing on keeping the number of polygons down. After the "Ivan" design was tossed, Chuck Jones revised the design to be based on his own face and goatee.Marc Laidlaw later quipped that white guys with goatees basically all look the same, due to receiving mail questions asking if Gordon was based on his face, as Marc also had a goatee at the time.
>>719521339>Chuck JonesI don't really see it
>>719520897would
>>719523204They reciprocate in the scene where they anally probe Sheen
>>719521508I sort of see it but Gordon on the box cover for Half-Life 1 totally looks more like Charlie Sheen in The Arrival unless Gordon was depicted differently on a first edition physical copy or something.It’s a conspiracy!
>>719523503perfect
>>719523549Even the special effects Half-Life probably borrowed, like the foggy green energy orb in the first couple seconds herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByJXECzjegY
>>719516490I had a point and click based on this as a kid, scared the shit out of me so I never got far.
>>719523646I should rewatch this. I'm pretty sure it gave me nightmares.
>>719516490That's directly where they got Gordon's design from. Half-Life was in development the following 2 years after that movie released.
>>719516490And now you noticed that?The Arrival is LITERALLY Half Life the originshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgUy9wwVQQs
>>719516490>>719526173>>719523549i literally had to ask grok for this and resort to aislop but...Yeah, Zane = Zen = Zane's World
>>719525971Exactly, they only changed his face in HL2 to evade lawsuits, but by all means, HL1 gordon's face is still charlie sheen
honestly I'm still all in on bryan cranston
>>719527148The Cranston meme was born after Breaking Bad, and no one knew who the fuck he was before Malcolm in the middle outside voice acting and other stuff.
>>719527148That’s funny because Bryan is 69 and Charlie is 59 but Gordon is 27.
>>719527463that's fine, but I think it would work>>719528112most people don't believe gordon is that young to be fair
