There’s so much stuff in Total Eclipse alone that really isn’t ripped or blatantly stolen but rather adapted and made into âge’s own content. That’s what I really want to discuss in this post by using Total Eclipse and âge how authors dance between the line of taking blatant elements from somewhere else, and using something that already exists in the culture at large either regionally or globally. It’s still really forgivable, but it’s not really the content that majority of the audience will experience. Yet something like that is never the main focus, just another addition on limited releases aimed for the fans themselves. For example, Tekkuman is not a homage or a reference, it’s a blatant ripoff. Certainly there are numerous things that we can call âge out on taking certain things from existing products. Never are these the focus or the main content, unlike with some other products out there. âge’s employees are well known for their well-versed history and in-depth information on various animated series, movies, games and literature that they constantly lampoon, reference and nudge at. Muv-Luv, unlike what people seem to think, has original content. Now I see somebody has mixed blatant stealing to using archetypes and elements that are not really unique to one or five things. Then again, perhaps the best thing would be to ignore them completley, as even pirating some of this stuff is giving them too much credit.īut Aalt, you’re a Muv-Luv fan and that’s schlockfull of ripped off material. As long as they keep producing this sort of crap, they can only blame themselves for people wanting to pirate their stuff.
I will not for any reason spent one cent in either product or their franchise family, nor anything similar because of their attitude and disrespect towards the audience or to business honesty.
It’s completely unacceptable for product like Avatar and Angry Birds to exist without any penalties. Even the creators say that it’s OK to copy ideas and elements. This isn’t acceptable, and yet it happens. Angry Birds is a complete and utter ripoff of Crush the Castle, which was a ripoff of some other game with the same content.
The film has no original content from script up.
Why is that we allow Hollywood, and technically any entertainment industry, to get scot free from recycling same ideas to the point of plagiarism? While we all can agree that everything has been invented is true to an extent, why do we do not condemn blatant recycling of ideas? James Cameron’s Avatar has been blamed to rip off Pocahontas and Dances with Wolves among other sources, and I agree.
