You keep putting words in my mouth. You are fighting an argument I'm not making.

I said popular copycats happen; there's nothing new to that. Daiei still died despite having Gamera.

>endless sea of half-baked imitators
It became it's own genre, you dumbfuck. It's like still calling FPSs Doom clones. Guess what, buddy? We had Mario clones when Mario came out. Guess what again, they ain't called Mario clones now.

This holds nothing.
