I just saw John Carter. Now, they could have done literally anything for the costume desgn, since the books had... None. But anyway, since they could have designed anything for the costumes and red Martian tattoos, apparently they decided to give Dejah Thoris Shanoa's clothing and shoulder tattoos for roughly half of the movie.

I mean... it's gotta be a coincidence, right? She wears the same top! And they patterned all of her tattoos in the same way as the art. And the text in the books is vague enough about those designs that they could be anything (and we all know about the clothes). So, it's very, very weird.

And what does this have to do with the Castlevania series?

Not very much, it seems! So, I moved it to the Off Topic subforum.

This thread shall live out its days here. Cheers!

In Todd McCarthy's review of John Carter in The Hollywood Reporter, he called it pastiche. I thought it was funny because the actor's last name is Kitsch.

I never read John Carter books so I'm not that inclined to see it. The title was so bland, though, that it made me curious as to what it was so i had to look it up.
