Ryan Coogler sued for allegedly stealing "Creed" concept!

Quote :

[Jarret] Alexander alleges that the concept of “legacy” is crucial to his script and was used prominently in marketing materials for Coogler’s “Creed,” and that the defendants must have seen his copyrighted materials and ideas because he submitted links to his website to them via Twitter.

“We will vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit and hold Mr. Alexander accountable for filing it,” the studios’  statement concluded.

So some dude submitted a link to his website on Twitter, which made Stallone and Coogler use his material from said website? 

Yeah, I don't buy that.

WHAT!? But the concept of Creed has been done many times before. It's really nothing new.

His tweet proves otherwise.

Worst part about this is that this is part of a 40 year old franchise. How the fuck can you sue the creator over your little fan fiction? If anything, Sylvester Stallone should sue. It's HIS franchise after all. That would be like me suing Disney and J.J. Abrams for taking my idea of Star Wars: Episode VII focusing on the next generation of Skywalkers.

The funny thing is that the lineage legacy part of Creed and Star Wars is the same.

The dude may as well try to sue anyone who's ever used such a concept.

This is just as stupid as the Fine Bros trying to trademark the word "react".

Those guys that do those "Kids React" videos. They were going to trademark the word "react" and other generic words, and scam people by forcing anyone to do reaction videos under them and take most of the profit off the video you make. After they have been exposed they lost hundreds, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Forcing them to drop all of their plans.
