Media comparisons that annoy fans

The game is simple find too examples of media that have a significant amount in common, but that fans of one would find the other annoying at best and repulsive at worst.

Example

These two both have

• A security worker who works for a company that make cybernetics tries to stop a super villain only to end up with horrific injures and is rebuilt as a cybrog.
• The is a period of adjustment were he can't properly control his mechanical parts, he feels angst about this.
• His girlfriend is involved in making him a cyborg though her research, at some point she is in peril
• The bad guy who caused the damage is also a cyborg, he must be defeated to get his girl friend back
• The main character must fight another cyborg with similar abilities to him.
• A bad guy is trying to gain control over the cybernetics technology for their own ends.

They are

Deus Ex Human Revolution and Inspector Gadget

I may need to tweak the format of this but what does everyone think?

Doesn't this belong in the Forum Games subfora, since you stated that it's a game?

?

You are correct, I'll move it.

moved it.

Let me give this a try;

• Both have a fanbase of twenty-somethings who would most likely have grown up with another show from the same creator.
• The main characters of both shows are sent elsewhere on the eve of a celebration, where they meet the rest of the cast.
• Both characters are also quite lonely and unfulfilled until this happens.
• Both shows are used in popular memes regarding merchandise.
• The main character has an unusual talet which lead to them being selected by the one who sent them elsewhere.
• Their relatives aren't mentioned or shown until later episodes.

Futurama and My Little Pony Friend Ship Is Magic

Good job on that one.

Come on everyone, there have to be a few more we could use for this.

• There are three female main characters.
• Each group has a Monster of the Week they must defeat.
• Both groups have fought Kaiju at some point.
• Both groups have fought enemies on a scale that is not human.
• In both trios, there is a brave and intelligent one, a shy and sweet one, and a cocky and violent one.

Ultimate Girls and The Powerpuff Girls
