Max Payne Or True Detective Which Is It Maybe You Can Tell, Maybe You Can’t Quiz

Being a police detective must be tough. First of all, you need to find a suit that looked nice precisely ten years ago. Secondly, you need to build up a friendly but occasionally adversarial rapport with your partner, so that your conversational back-and-forth can entertain grieving families in their time of need. Finally, you need to carve out your own unique philosophical outlook, and have some appropriately deep-sounding remarks ready to throw out at whenever you might be called to. Also you also need to solve murders, but let’s focus on the philosophical remarks.

Rust Cohle, known for being in the season of True Detective everyone decided to like, and Max Payne, known for his roles in the Max Payne video games, have their remarks down pat. Throw any situation at them, and they’ll have an appropriately batshit crate of bollocks to wheel out and deliver earnestly. The problem is, occasionally their brands of nihilistic truth aren’t as distinguishable from one another as you’d think. Or at least, that’s the basis of this quiz. Just run with me here, yeah?

Basically, can you tell which of these quotes was said by Max Payne’s Max Payne, and which were from True Detective’s Rust Cohle? Let’s find out. Answers are at the bottom.
