The Monster Hunter movie has marines in it because of Metal Gear Solid, apparently



One of the most scorchingly hot takes in recent history is that, you know what, the Monster Hunter movie is a great laugh—it might even be the best videogame movie ever made. Not a little of this is down to its faithfulness with most aspects of Capcom's long-running series, but the slightly Hollywood exception is that they stuck a load of marines in there. pg slot

Director Paul W.S. Anderson recently spoke to IGN about elements of the film, observing that the concept of bringing 'modern' humans into the Monster Hunter setting was inspired by the feeling he had playing one of the games for the first time: examining these luscious virtual landscapes as an outsider.

"I was influenced by the first time I played the game or anyone plays the game, you know, you're a modern person going into this world and discovering it for the first time. And you're doing so with a character you've created [....] so you're essentially a stranger going into this world, and I wanted to recreate this sense of wonder I had the first time I went into this world. You can only have that sense of wonder if you're seeing it with fresh eyes."

Are you okay , how are the two related ?
