It may be an homage, but it’s clear that God of War (2018) inspired (to say the least) one of the most spectacular scenes in history. this animated film made in India.
Cases like Palworld (Pokémon clone that has been very successful on PS5, Xbox and PC) or Light of Motiram (plagiarism of Tencent’s Horizon) highlighted this problem in the current industry, but the reality is that this has been happening for decades.
Now then: in such a blatant way? It depends, but Mahavatar Narasimha He doesn’t seem to understand the subtleties, because copy one of the scenes from God of War shot by shot.
It may seem exaggerated, but the tweet posted by Black Thunder On social media he makes this very clear.
Black Thunder is one of the most recognized fans in the God of War community, to the point of ”appearing” in God of War Ragnarok as a wink, so we can trust his word.
Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand wordsso don’t hesitate to take a look at this tweet to check for plagiarism.
The Indian film that ”plagiarises” this moment from God of War
In 2024, the Indian animated film was released Mahavatar Narasimhadirected by Ashmir Kumar. It became a huge hit in its home country, but also on Netflix.
”Believing himself invincible, the demon Hiranyakashyap swears revenge on Vishnu for his brother’s death and declares himself a god, but his son Prahlad remains devoted to Vishnu and stops him from doing so. Vishnu manifests as Narsimha to defeat the demon and restore balance”, is its synopsis.
At first glance it looks like an original animated film in terms of its theme, but everything changes if we look at one of his scenes.
They are just 20 secondsbut there is no doubt that this sequence of Mahavatar Narasimha and a blatant plagiarism of a scene from God of War (2018)the acclaimed PS4 game.
Those who have already played will find many similarities with the first fight between Kratos and Baldur in the Santa Monica game, as both characters make the same movements.
Black Thunder Tweet has gone viral in the last few hoursagreeing with the Kratos fan, who literally quotes the following: ”Copy and paste”.
For now, neither Sony nor the film’s Indian producer, Kleem Productions, have commented on the matter. Perhaps it is a sought-after tribute to the game directed by Cory Barlog, but still remarkable.
did you see Mahavatar Narasimha? Certainly its opinions in the West will multiply after the succession of interactions due to this plagiarism, so it is still good news for its creators.
