Rocky Balboa as the prototype of Marcoh.
(Marcoh is also based on Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza, but I don't play the games)
I must say right away that I only watched the first movie and use a translator for this article, so I'm sorry.
A short biography of Rocky:
Rocky Balboa was the only child in an Italian-American family. Born on July 6, 1945. He studied with great diligence, so he wanted to become like his idol, Rocky Marciano. Forced to live on a small salary, participating in local club fights and unable to find work anywhere else, Rocky got a job as a collector for Tony Gazzo, a local loan shark, just to make ends meet. His nickname is "The Italian Stallion", which he invented for himself because of his Italian origin.
1. They are boxers and similar looks. (wow, curly hair and badass face expression)
2. Moral compass, kindness, morality.
Rocky collector, working for a loan shark, did not break the finger of a man who did not have enough money to pay off the debt, but he must do it. He is a great moralist, he even imposed on the girl (do not hang out with some group of teens, otherwise you will become a bad person in the future) even when he became famous, he did not deteriorate.
And Marcoh helped Olivia (a girl he barely knows) to bring a wheelchair from a dangerous city, he is also attentive to us as a true gentleman.
They both look formidable, but in fact they are kind people.
3. They are considered stupid.
Rocky Balboa was portrayed as stupid because he is uneducated. He didn't finish high school. His father told him: «You weren't born that smart, so you better start using your body» It is clear that he did not have the support to continue his education. Rocky was boxing. Also, it is used to show the difference between Apollo and Rocky Balboa. Rocky is a primitive animal, and Apollo is a genius. Rocky Dumb is used as the complete opposite of his girlfriend. She should be a smart and shy woman. Rocky should be a nice idiot. These polar opposites were supposed to fill in the gaps in their hearts.
When we attack Marcoh, can we insult him by saying «muscles take precedence over brains?» which is similar to the phrase of Rocky's father. Marcoh said «peace before the storm» instead of calm before the storm (Olivia corrected him) And he asked Olivia what an «atheist» was. This does not mean that he is stupid, just not quite knowledgeable.
4. Shyness and quiet personality.
Rocky has said many times that he is shy.
Marcoh blushes when we approach him, he seems confused by our attention.
Rocky named the turtles, happily barked with his dog and I still remember the phrase «birds are like little multicolored candies.»
And Marcoh seems to like rats and frogs. (he has three whole partytalk, where he talked to frogs, said that rats are cute and «no little critters around?»)
What I saw from the screenshot of the second movie and in the first one there was a cross hanging over the bed.
And Marcoh said that he prays All-mer sometimes in that partytalk.
7. They trained on meat carcasses.
In the movie, Rocky was shown how he trained.
Marcoh do the same, this was said in the prologue.
8. The motto is never to give up.
Rocky's quotes deserve special attention. Like popular: «It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!»
Oh, Marcoh's constant motivational phrases, sometimes out of place, even when they fell into a toilet, he was the only one who told the whole team not to give up.
9. Finally, they are Italians and work with not the kindest bosses.
End of similarities list.
They are almost the same person but Rocky seemed to me little more emotional, Marcoh is calm almost always, Rocky too, but then Rocky has certain triggers for example when he was told to take his girlfriend on a date to the zoo or a moment of emotional breakdown with a coach. For Marcoh it was only a Bremen soldier «I saw a Bremen soldier and could not restrain myself punch him»
Many compare him to Jotaro kujo, but.
I think Miro took Jotaro part 6 as a reference for the sprite.
Rocky and Clint Eastwood (He is the prototype for Jotaro) are quiet heroes of the old time, using one-liners, therefore having similar vibes, but the archetypes are very different Clint Eastwood is a typical persistent guy the hero of a western and Rocky is a man who overcomes difficulties, going to the very end and inspiring.
