Between all three of them, it is. I was meaning that the Hunger Games was the original between Divergent and itself.
Battle Royal came out in 2000, the Hunger Games came out in 2008 (the book), and Divergent came out in 2011 (the book).
Yeah, theyāre practically the same, just different actors and some minor plot changes.
White House Down is about a father getting rejected from a job he wanted (secret service) and then takes his daughter on a tour of the White House, pretending that heāll work there, they get put into the middle of a hostage and attack situation where a group of people want to kill the president. The father protects the president and eventually does become secret service.
Then youāve got Olympus Has Fallen whereas a group also attacks and takes hostage the people of the White House where a former secret service officer, as he resigned after an accident, looks for the presidentās son and helps save the president. But when all is said and done, he gets reinstated after protecting him.
I mostly just said it because theyāre both about a group (small, big, whatever) of people tracking down ghosts, demons, and monsters. xD
Also, thought of a few others:
Star Wars verses Harry Potter
Sky High verses X-Men
Cars verses Doc Hollywood (Iāve never seen Doc Hollywood, but I saw a video that explained how Cars ripped it off lol)
Why does this surprse you? People have attractions to badly written hotties, which perpetuates this into insanity.
And Im well aware of it, which is where the start for this chapter Iām currently writing comes from:
The Essence of U
Rumors started going around pretty quickly since Daniel spent all that afternoonās classes sitting with a girl no one noticed before, although, by the teacherās reactions, she must have been there the whole year. Several people were trying to figure out āwhat she looked like before she glowed upā.
Whatever the difference was, there were quite a few envious looks over it. The unobtainable bad boy and the fresh queen that no one else had a chance with, which should have kept the gossip going for days.
Should was all that Daniel could think of as everyone was crowded into the auditorium and their principal badly broke the news of Oscarās death. They hadnāt done this for Seanāa much more beloved asshole than his so-called best friend.
This guy is one of āthe bad boysā, and he doesnt date because where he plays the part, his friend is the real deal evil, ans he doesnāt wa y to get entangled with him over it. (So, secret marshmallow tendencies, too. And NoT letting him gEt ThE gIrL in the end.)
these are all the shows that i think are very similar and feels repetitive (but i still watch them bc idc)
warrior nun and the protector
one recent similarity for me was warrior nun and the protector (turkish) which are both tv shows on netflix. not many people would make the link, especially if they only watch english shows or shows in their own countries but it is very similar. the main-characterās power is related to a church, both of them have something in their skin that makes them glow (a halo for warrior nun and an ancient shirt that literally manifested into the main character in the protector), they have āloyal onesā and āwarriorsā whoās only purpose is to keep them protected & safe, and both of them have extraordinary abilities that help them fend off people who are going after the things that make them powerful.
games of thrones and the witcher
it gives me similar vibes, first of all the advertisement for it and well, pretty much the whole theme is very similar. both are fantasy series with epic themes and medieval settings.
the i-land and the wilds
(really big similarity here) both involve survival situations with groups of people stranded in mysterious locations.
shadow & bone and cursed
the oc and one tree hill
both are teen dramas set in affluent communities and focus on relationships and personal drama.
santa clarita diet & izombie
both are comedic series involving supernatural elements and the undead.
i am not okay with this and carrie - are they not basically along the same lines, same kind of thing? bullied main character, who unalives student/s at prom before walking home in completely red? i swear, when i saw the main character in i am not okay with this covered in red just like carrie, coming from a prom, just like carrie, and having supernatural telekinetic powersā¦just like carrie, it wasnāt hard to make the connection.
the office and parks & recreation
both are mockumentary-style sitcoms set in workplace environments.
boston legal and suits
both are legal dramas centered around law firms and feature charismatic lawyers.
wentworth (prisoner: cell block h) and orange is the new black
these are shows, yet again, from different countries but are actually similar. prisoner: cell block h is dated back to when my mum was growing up in the 80ās but had a reboot series renamed wentworth in 2013. it revolves around a character named bea smith who goes to prison and well, she makes some friends, she loses some, side characters have their own little plotline stories, a lot of lgbt+ representation too. orange is the new black, reminded me so much of wentworth.
buffy the vampire slayer and supernatural
i mean, come on. both shows touch on many mythological creatures that they either kill or are friends with. one just has a woman slayer with a bunch of friends and the other are just brothers.
greys anatomy and er/nurses
station 19 and 9-1-1
remington steele, castle, bones, the mentalist and unforgettable
hawaii five-oh and the ncis, csi franchise.
the night agent and the recruit
itās basically the same movie/series, just different fonts. actually, thatās a lie. they may as well have used the same font style for the posters. itās basically identical.
how i met your mother and friends.
killing eve and bambaska biri (turkish)
one is about an mi6 agent chasing a serial killer in which she develops somewhat feelings for the killer, and the other is about a prosecutor chasing a serial killer to whom (tbf unknowingly) she falls in love with. this one isnāt too similar, but it reminded me of the other while watching it, especially the ending. the ending is basically the exact same. the main thing thatās different in this one is that in bambaska biri, the serial killer has a split personality and the prosecutor falls in love with one of his personalities (the main one) who is also famous journalist but she does find out soon enough that his split personality had been the one who had been the serial killer the entire time. also, the main personality was not aware that his alter ego had been unaliving people. itās acc worth a watch. but it is pretty similar in terms of - detective/agent/prosecutor goes after and falls in love with a killer.
the last kids on earth (cartoon) and daybreak
probably based off the other potentially but incredibly similar, both involve post-apocalyptic settings with young protagonists.
idk if anyone remembers believe (with a powerful gifted telekinetic little girl called bo and her dad, tate) but when i watched raising dion, immediately thought of it.
the gifted and umbrella academy (could be a far reach but idk)
rebelde and elite
the vampire diaries, twilight and fallen. i donāt really think i gotta justify this one tbh.
percy jackson series, the shannara chronicles, and the mortal instruments
hear me out, thereās actually a few similarities. quests, one person realising their capabilities or finding out that theyāre powerful and basically working together (mostly as a trio) to solve mysteries, save their people etc.
there is alsoā¦ nancy drew and lockwood & coā¦ and maybe, perhaps, chilling adventures of sabrina.
they really give the same vibes. teenagers who solve mysteries and deal with supernatural spirits etc. a shame that lockwood & co was cancelled.
and these are just tv-shows. i find that there are so many links/connections in regards to like books or songs sometimes. like for example, life with the walter boys and the summer i turned pretty, and songs, well thereās a few but i think theyāre most likely sampled songs.
omg, thank goodness you went to this emergency vet, wouldnāt wanna see our lil guinea being euthanised omg wth just sounds like that was the easiest option for them or they didnāt look further.
iāve been great! third year of university now, graduating next year though. itās pretty decent, not so bad as i thought itād be, iāve been managing to get first class in most assignments so thatās good but i canāt wait to graduate and move on. iām so glad i caught you on here! usually i think i come on here for a little while and then dip but i always hope that at least one of you guys are active so i can check up on you! how is everybody else? they all good?
Weāve all been in and out with rl stuff (work for most of us and school for a select few) but weāre still around periodically. I know Iām usually on, just lurking ā¦ I got married!
OMG WHAT? youāre married now? congratulations! iām so happy for you omg. how was your wedding? did you enjoy it? whoās the lucky one? sad it wasnāt me jkjk, knick (mari) is my number one fr, i semi-stalked her wattpad account today thus why i was reminded of wacky and thought iād do my half-a-yearly drop in.
- I only thought this because I hear it was much older than I thought, so I could be totally wrong.
just sounds like that was the easiest option for them or they didnāt look further.
but i always hope that at least one of you guys are active so i can check up on you! how is everybody else? they all good?
