doesn't make the comparison any less valid / obvious

UA literally premiered 4 months after haunting of hill house


Meaning it would have been impossible for them copy that dynamic, especially when Umbrella Academy is based on a graphic novel...

i never said they copied anything nor do i have a problem with shows being similar to each other thematically

i just said its similar to haunting of hill house except with super powers and also its not as good as haunting of hill house

Then why bother pointing out that it premiered four months later, unless you just like stating things that have no relevance to the conversation...

It has a similar dynamic in one regard, but there's literally nothing else that likens them to another. It's a pointless comparison

E: Haunting was a much better show, but they're different genres, which makes a comparison difficult.

because it helps shows why i drew the comparison?

because one show was very recent that was very good

and another similar show came out recently that was not very good

i'm not the only one with the opinion that the shows are very similar thematically, google is your friend

Your argument is that stupid people on the internet drew a similar conclusion and that adds validity to it somehow? Okie dokie

Like?

Serpico and The Departed are the same, there are dirty and clean cops.

Inception and Heat are the same thing. There are guys with guns who are stealing things.

It's a pointless statement and acting as if finding people online who agree you makes you right, is what's really the dumbest thing anyone has ever read.

Did you know vaccines cause autism? Literally thousands of people online agree with me, it must be true.


E: the dysfunctional family with one or multiple estranged siblings is not a new dynamic. I agree that they have that single thing in common, but there's nothing else substantial that connects the two and that's why I insulted the comparison.
