In context, that is the laziest bullshit I've seen in weeks.
You have completely failed to learn the lesson of Prelude to Axanar, which is that a determined group of average Joes can match the production quality of top studios with consumer products. The only thing limiting people is their attachment to existing intellectual property.
With all seriousness, I think one of, if not the, worst mistake of western civilization was the invention of copyright. It was a mistake, it should never have been invented, the very concept of intellectual property should never have crossed the line into fiction and music and art. It should have remained in the realm of patents and trademarks and the creative endeavors should have been left on the level of minstrelsy in the eyes of the law.
TI, I don't get you. Your perception of how shit works (can work, does work, should work) is stubbornly rooted in how the world worked in the 90's.
You remind me of a number of people I know. Rather than tell all their stories I will clump them together and say that they all say they have something they want to do, but they aren't doing their thing because they're missing some component they're convinced they need (typically money).
It's basically a mindset that actively goes looking for excuses to not try, and it pisses me off to no end.
I don't mind people who are lazy and have no ambition. Because at least they're honestly living the life they chose. But I hate cope. I absolutely despise cope and people who practice it because in my eyes they're trying to claim virtue on the basis of having dreams. Frankly it's even more disgusting to me than the SJWs that claim virtue on the basis of immutables. At least their BS is measurable.

The correct term you're looking for is weaponized autism.
Autism is certainly involved if shit like Eragon and The Golden Compass can get made.
The right doesn't seem to appreciate telling STORIES, and when they do bother it's shit like The Passion of the Christ.
You'd think conservatives and libertarians would be able to churn out stuff like The Expanse left and right but nope nope nope.
The right has told plenty of stories, their kids now own the rights and sell it to leftists to warp the messages.
Fuck fandom.
Seriously, fuck fandom.

Which is why it was shot down.
Now, imagine if they had used their talents to produce something entirely new.
You're still thinking about this in old terms.

No, they don't. Jesus, you're like my boss who thinks REST is newfangled bleeding edge and that we should stick with EJBs.
