No, but it will be. Artists and writers never want to just do what they are given, they always have to put their own mark on things. What if Luke was an asshole? What if Starfleet was run by incompetent teenagers? What if Megatron looked like a bunch of paperclips lost a fight with a hot glue gun?
That’s the nature of creative people, they want to create, not just copy. I find it infuriating, but it’s why we have so many cool things to enjoy.
History does not repeat, but sometimes it rhymes.
This is a very obvious rhyme.
