Creativity = Plagiarism


The more we support this kind of mimicry, the more we push new ideas aside. I would rather watch a quirky 80's comedy than watch the same rehashed premise over and over again. Switching bodies, suppressing emotions, superhero origin stories....come on.
Go watch the trailer for "The Lobster". Sounds ludicrous, but at least it's an original idea. How about a few more young adult novel adaptations while we're at it. OH!! I know! How about one with an empowered teenage girl who befriends an attractive teenage male to disrupt an overpowering ruler!! Original yes?!

I'm with you on that, you are completely right, it's upsetting and actually downright insulting to viewers

but newer generations are not bright enough to be insulted. their pockets are emptied, and thier life goes on.
