| omarct said: Things will work themselves out, those "abusers" will not last long. Only those who make true gems will go forward. As for the new character aspect that you mentioned I will say 2 things, nostalgia and familiarity. Imagine if they made a new superman movie but instead of superman it was "amazingman" and they changed everything but followed the same concept, doesnt matter how great the movie was people wouldnt like it and it would feel off. The 10 years would start after the product was released so im not sure how the length of making it would come into play here. 10 years is a lot for me, that is 1/6 of my full cognitive life. But I could see the argument for extending it or reducing it depending on the product. Life is very short I dont see why you would want to limit what you could experience just so that certain people have an easier time making more profits. |
if something is off about that movie, then it must not be very great. Parody movies exist, you know? If the movie is great, and has good word of mouth, people WILL like it. There's nothing stopping you from making "amazingman" today. If it's a good movie, people will see it. End of story.
That rule doesn't exist, and I don't remember you specifying that, so how could I have known.
No one likes going through the trouble of having something they've created taken away from them. Look at Oswald, and Mickey. If you have all this so-called experience and know-how, why can't you make the extra two baby steps it takes to come up with your own characters, if you're going to make literally everything else from scratch. It doesn't make sense.
Imagine if Mighty No. 9 were a mega man game. People would blame Capcom for that garbage. Nintendo's stock went up when Pokemon Go first kicked off... Guess what. It dropped again when people learned Nintendo didn't make it.
Now, I'm done talking about this fictional law that doesn't make sense. Nintendo is in their right to take down people's Mario games on PS4, because it incentives people to buy PS4s, and if it's considered fan-art, or fair use, or whatever... I'd honestly be ok with that too.
