Serana in Underworld?

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 4:30 pm

Okay, so I did a search and didn't find any results.. but:

I'm sitting here and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is playing on tv. I just happened to turn around when Sonja is standing there looking down at Lucien in his cell. And I think, wow.. it's Serana's twin!

Although, this could also be just that they both have dark hair and both have full lips. :P

Yeah, I know there are many things in Skyrim that are reminiscent of things from other movies and such. I just never placed this one until now.

Serana-Selene look alike.
Marcus Corvinus bat form looks like the Vampire Lord form.
Sonja has parental issues like Serana, though Sonja's mother died when she was born. Like Serana, Sonja is a pureblooded vampire.

Nothing is original nowadays bethesda didn't even attempt to cover their tracks when they ripped off other media sources. Also if you play a clip of Lord Harkon, and Viktor from underworld they sound almost exactly they same, and act the same.

Hmm, I don't see Selene. Selene is more of the petite type. The structure more resembles Sonja, to me anyways.

Yup, knew about the vampire lord resemblance.

this. Theres even a mod for vampires to have the blue underworld eyes xD

Alot of people already recognized this as an underworld rip off, but I liked underworld so I don't really care about that.


Also by serana - selene look alike, I think it was more the name structure she meant not the appearance. Although all 3 would have similar appearance as the protagonist was kept alive purely for looking like the murdered daughter.

Same here, love Underworld.

Yeah, I guess that was the idea. That Selene looks similar to Sonja, so then Serana would be similar to both. But I just see more similarity to Sonja than Selene.

Oy-vay, the S names are getting to me now. :P

Serana does look like both of them combined. Nice touch, Beth! :D.

What?! That is absurd. You have not lived if you have not seen those movies.

I am in love. I know Kate is twice my age but she is so beautiful! Anyway, I like how they did mix between Selene and Sonja, they gave her Selene's look, but Sonja's parent issues and what not.

Eh, Kate=meh. Rona=Yes!

:lol:

But the more I see it, the more I am convinced 99% of Dawnguard was inspired by Underworld.

The pic with Sonja...the armor she wears kinda looks like a mix of Ebony and Steel Plate....

I watched the Underworld movies but I would have never seen the similarities between those three. The Vampire Lord thing I kinda facepalmed but other than that.

Funniest thing was that I watched the Underworld series the day before I got Dawnguard....

They did do a good job of finding the middle ground between the two didn't they. :biggrin: Personally I think she resembles Selene :wub: more then Sonja.

Which is the better of the werewolf looks out there IMO, could be worse you could look like http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120512014141/warriorsofmyth/images/thumb/4/4a/Bear_monster_%28werebear%29.jpg/250px-Bear_monster_%28werebear%29.jpg which I'm sure scared the livers out of my grandmother when she first saw the Wolfman movies ( from the 60's ) but really doesn't cut the mustard now a days. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m96pzxTglT1rdbp57o6_400.jpg, http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/7/74523/2136353-van_helsing1.jpg and http://playinggodwithmonsters.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/werewolf1.jpg is what it takes for a werewolf to be scary these days and if you ask me it's a much better look when compared to the Wolfman look :thumbsup:

I agree. I have always preferred the slightly more wolf than man appearance of a werewolf. It looks more.... beast like.
