Remember when Edward Norton’s character in Fight Club said, “Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy”? That line perfectly sums up the vibe of Coolie’s new posters.
Coolie’s new postersThe makers of Coolie published some new posters recently and they had an uncanny resemblance to the posters of Madame Web, Rebel Moon, and Beast.

While these posters do bear similarities to one another, it’s also true that certain design patterns have been in use for years. Many film posters tend to follow these familiar templates, making it less about copying and more about adhering to a tried-and-tested visual formula that the industry has been using for a long time.
The reactions to Coolie postersUsers are bashing Coolie makers and are calling them ‘copycats.’
Many of them also said that War 2 posters are at least original.
One user commented, “Every freaking poster of #Coolie is copy and paste. This whole movie's hype is sustaining on #War2. Agar clash na hota toh nobody would notice that there is a movie coming named Coolie.”

Another user commented, “So basically, 3 out of the 4 posters recently released by the Coolie team are copied from somewhere else. Can't even believe someone like GP copied even from a fan-made poster of Beast.”
