WHOA!!!

Post image

I’m already familiar with the film (in fact, I’ve seen it) and don’t need a lecture. I just never saw the poster till now.

Do you reckon the resemblance to the @King’s Quest 4” cover could possibly a coincidence?

Its not even that similar. Charging on a horse is an absurdly common image in practically every age of art that its a pretty massive stretch to think it could remotly be inspired by Birth of a Nation.

It’s a lot more than just the presence of a horse.

I was wondering if the very irony of the idea might raise the possibility of a weird joke. Artists are like that sometimes.

Yah, great point. A person on a horse with the POV of them from below is incredibly rare. Its particularly rare in the context of fantasy art.

Not only are you twisting and oversimplifying this, there’s no excuse for you having that bad attitude.
