Read on Twitter
I know I'm late to the train, but I wasn't on Twitter in January and even after searching there seem to be no tweets talking about this in detail. It's not just the general vibe of the Walls and the SMG mv that are super similar. Take the start - singers lonely in the desert
Then there's Louis personal set - he's even wearing a very similar outfit!
Everyone's favourite door - placed on top of a hill, leading to dancers. And, again, similar outfits (down to the bit of black above the brown jacket/ coat)
Dancers dressed in black and white. A singer in the middle. Need I say more?
Noticed the masks the dancers wearing in the SMG mv? Well, there are also masks in Walls. They probably represent Louis' fans - but what if the masked dancers in SMG are also a fan representation? This would explain why in Louis' mv, the dancers seem more grown-up (fans age too)
The Walls mv very prominently features shots of musicians - in the desert, in the ballroom. Seems familiar? Except, here the musicians are isolated
Then there's the use of elements - Louis puts fire, where SMG features water. Coincidence?
Everyone freaked out when they saw the scene with the five silhouettes. But it gets even creepier - there is a shot almost too similar to it in the SMG mv. They're backlit as well and even the order is almost the same! (Why did they make Niall and Harry change position though?)
I'd even go as far as saying that this scene is a sort of comment on the other. A performance in the middle of the desert, on the one hand juvenial chaos on the other grown-up technical simplicity.
When looking at the Walls mv, the only scenes that do not have a parallel to SMG are these - Louis in the hallway (which is maybe linked to the sky door - and there was a song for this too in 2017), in front of the mirrors and the target thing.
Conclusion: It is not a coincidence, that the videos are so similar. In fact, there was most likely a plan behind it. End of thread. Read more of my thoughts on this matter here: https://onesalvation.tumblr.com/post/629098079081070592/steal-my-walls
