A player has now designed posters in the style of 80s action movies to pay tribute to the meanest strike bosses from the MMO shooter Destiny.
Destiny sometimes has a bit of a “direct-to-video” sci-fi movie vibe, fans probably have to admit that too. In the 80s, space was still stylish and the second home on Mars was just a few years away. So, dark space rulers were thought up who, just like us, practically lived around the corner and were waiting to cause trouble. And they had an army of sidekicks, space monsters, and other villains on their side: so to speak, the “monster of the week.” And this “monster of the week” concept has been adopted by Destiny for its Nightfall strikes. Now the circle is complete.
User ginoguy on reddit has essentially transported the strike bosses from Destiny into this era, pretended that the “monsters” are in an 80s movie, and has created a creative tribute to the strike bosses Phogoth, Aksor, Sepiks Prime, Omnigul, and Sekrion – with plenty of hidden references to movies from that time.
My MMO thinks: Alongside Samuel L. Jackson as Ghost and Minecraft-Crota’s End one of the hottest ideas in recent weeks.
