It's a common trend among such creators. It's like Marvel. Stan Lee (and these days, Disney/Marvel) would like to have you believe that everything sprang from the mind of Lee, purposely ignoring people like Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby. And speaking of Disney, Walt Disney himself downplayed the importance of people like Ub Iwerks, who were instrumental to the creation of Mickey Mouse.
- teruakohatu 5y ago> Disney/Marvel There are no doubt teenagers who think Thor, Loki, Snow White etc. were all thought up by Disney/Marvel. Disney has been laundering (and copyrighting) folk history for a century now, and Marvel mythology for a little less time.
- wolverine876 5y ago> Disney has been laundering (and copyrighting) folk history for a century now, and Marvel mythology for a little less time. Almost every fiction ever written does that. It makes better stories, arguably: 1) Those stories persisted across eons for a reason, and 2) it anchors the new story in something people already have an understanding of.
- effingwewt 5y agoI think not. It's one thing to adapt/re-boot something and quite another to try and re-write history via shitty contracts to try and make yourself the sole creator (Disney, Marvel/Stan Lee). Credit used to be given, now it is stolen.
