    Or they wanna say it’s a rehash of old stuff. It’s just zombies, it’s just sci-fi, it’s just medieval fantasy.

    Not realizing all of those and more were created like by the 1st century AD at the latest but likely soo far before that. The epic of Gilgamesh and Egyptian mythology alone cover almost all bases. Toss in True History by Lucien of Samosata and that’s basically every IP concept covered.

      Yeah, the most annoying thing is when you point out recent or upcoming original movies and they say those are just ripoffs of other movies. They broaden their criteria of original to mean it can’t even superficially resemble anything that already exists. That’s almost literally impossible
