His examples of direct-to-video fodder is cherrypicking, of course. I could point to Dracula and then all the good things like Anno Dracula and the Hellsing anime (which are both sequels made by different parties to the same novel), but that would just be tit-for-tat on the cherry picking. I'd rather just go for the philosophy's jugular and point out the fact that, fundamentally speaking, no idea comes from nothing. Everything is based on what came before it; the good the bad and everything in between. He can also complain that The Witcher series "ripped off" an earlier series he's fond of, but he doesn't want to take that extra step back and see how that earlier series "ripped off" preceding works. Copyright-free memes can be used for crafting literary gold nuggets or garbage, but what the public domain is not is "intellectual Marxism".

@Neo_Dolus@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club @TheQuQu@shitposter.club @danwolfgang@shitposter.club @hakui@tuusin.misono-ya.info @niceposter@shitposter.club @switchpoint@shitposter.club @takao@shitposter.club speaking of, he has called certain Japanese media "unoriginal"...one notable example: Ghost in the Shell and Snatcher cribbed material from Blade Runner, according to him. But to be fair, the box art to the original Metal Gear is literally just Kyle Reese from the Terminator. And John Carpenter actually avoided suing Kojima for copying Snake Plissken's look in MG Solid, because he apparently had no problems with Kojima. So anyway, Razor hates Kojima.

I forget which ones are any good. Also, Metal Gear and Snatcher take place in the same "cinematic universe".

I don't even know if watching the theatrical cut would undo the damage it did.
