In Apex Legends a new character named ‘Seer’ is coming soon. There is also a new trailer that shows the character’s origin story. The style and presentation remind many fans of a quirky series on Netflix.
Who is it about? In Apex Legends, the new Season 10 is coming soon, and as usual, there will be a new weapon, a new arena map, and another hero (legend). This time it is a stylish young man with the codename Seer.
Concrete information about him is scarce, except that he apparently has an affinity for moths and changes everything he looks at with his gaze. He is also said to be somewhat cursed, as an asteroid struck the nearby moon of his home planet at the time of his birth.
This is addressed in a typical ‘Stories from the Outlands’ video:
However, the video reminded some Apex fans of something completely different: the iconic Netflix series Love, Death & Robots.
Fans love Seer, compare him to TikTok star and iconic Netflix series
What’s the deal with the Netflix series? Anyone who sees the trailer for Seer and knows the series Love, Death & Robots will immediately think of a particular episode. In episode 14, ‘Zima Blue’, it is about an eccentric artist of the same name and his unexpected origin story.
The drawing and animation style of the trailer and the episode are extremely similar, and the main characters share similarities with their stylized, effect-honed manner. In the trailer comments and on reddit, there is lively debate about whether Respawn Entertainment shamelessly copied here. One reddit user says: ‘I only saw a snippet of the image and thought it was a Zima Blue fanart.’
Other users have placed scenes from both films side by side to emphasize the similarity even more.
