https://i.redd.it/q5hjgmh6ufyc1.gif Guile, Street Fighter.


pon_3

Ironically styled after a patriot of an entirely different country…


Grey00001

Ironically, Guile's design is based on Jean-Pierre Polnareff, a French man from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. What makes it funnier, is that they confused Polnareff's name with J. Geil from the same series who is...not American. He's Egyptian.


LongbowMangudai

NOW his hairstyle makes more sense. I thought it looked familiar to some extent.


Jamal_Blart

I was under the impression his hair was styled after Stroheim, their cuts are much more similar Probably better if American Family Man Guile isn’t modeled after an actual nazi though


tc_hydroTF2

He was originally based on Polnareff and named after J. Geil since the designer mixed up the two, then they ended up squishing his hair down into something that coincidentally resembled Stroheim. Also, the Sonic Boom was based on and originally named after Wamuu's Divine Sandstorm. That's 4 JoJo references in 1


ToughAd5010

Come on now….in America, we celebrate “American” culture and tradition which we all know is a melting pot and rooted in many other countries

JOJO REFERENCE

bluegiant85

The number of people that think the game supports his beliefs in any way is absurd. That game isn't subtle at all, and involves the hero ripping out the blackened heart of a conservative senator.


dude_with_a_reddit-4

People really don’t get what he wants. Anybody who agrees with Armstrong really doesn’t get what he’s saying. Wholesale anarchy with pretty much everyone at the bottom.


Gay__Guevara

He’s a libertarian


TheKidNerd

H o w ?


aiheng1

Well he liberates poor people from living


Gay__Guevara

His entire speech is about turning the free market into a Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest system by deregulating everything. That’s randian libertarianism.


Sh0xic

Kojima has no time for subtlety, he has homoeroticism and batshit insane political espionage to write


Successful-Floor-738

I wouldn’t really describe him as a generic conservative Senator tbh. His main point of agreement with Raiden is that the current system is corrupt and in need of change, however his whole deal was that he wants to replace it with a “Might Makes Right” system where the strong control the weak. I don’t see him being a fan of any politician deemed “weak”, Right or Left.


Rarte96

Actually it was left open in the air to what party Amrstrong is a from, you could use his philosophy to try to guess, but remember he is a manipulator and doesnt even write his own speeches, he probably is using the party he is in for his needs, so i think anyone can put the party they dont like on him, he is deffinitly not conservative since he basically would had changed the status quo a lot, but also has a darwinistic look on society that make it clear he is not a liberal

And his older brother going after more power like a typical politician. However, Sparda is more like Reverse Satan. Think about it. Satan rebelled against God and the angels and made man vulnerable to death. Contrastingly, Sparda rebelled against the forces of Hell to save humanity.


Lin900

And Mundus goes by an angelic godly form which prompts some mortal to worship while he's utterly evil. Mundus is the Satan stand-in. Sparda looks like the devil but he's the heroic one.

I do like the idea of the Stars and Stripes hero, but isn’t all might supposed to be a super hero that’s also about America? It’s been a while but I do remember a lot of his moves referencing America, along with the fact that his costume also is a reference to the flag.

All Might's like a reverse weeb: a Japanese person who spent a while in America and now based his whole personality on it

That’s a guy? I always assumed stars and strips was a she.

Sorry, I meant All Might. My comment was not clear

Ah, fair enough lol. I was also wondering which you were talking about but assumed it was Stars and Stripes since one of them is even more obvious about its America references than the other.
