"Snowpiercer" a piercing stab at Terry?

[bruttenholm]

I wouldn't mind even if Bong had had more talent and would've been better at imitating Terry's style, but his choice of incorporating a character in the film that's not there in the original comic that's most blatantly based on Terry and whose characterization and behavior as a villain and traitor in the context of the film looks like a hostile attack on Terry IRL certainly doesn't seem just like a friendly nod.

The character Gilliam isn't the only one that doesn't exist in the book. Actually, practically all of the characters in the film are inventions from the screenwriters (let's remember that in the comic book only one character travels to the front of the train). You're seeking too far, I think.
