I hate how so many people act like every kind of art or media is now derivative because someone else out of billions of people and thousands of years had a somewhat similar idea.

for me the issue isn't that the ideas are similar, the issue is from a lack of depth. when you boil every character down to the bare-bones of fulfilling their function in the story, with no other humanity to them, then every film with a similar plot will feel the same.
