Discussion Expy / FIlm

• Deliberately avoided in the Indiana Jones films. As one of Indy's characteristics was to be a Chick Magnet and as a result to have a new Love Interest in each movie, Spielberg and Lucas made their best effort to make any new girl as different as possible from the previous one. Kate Capshaw even had to dye her natural brown hair blonde to play Damsel Scrappy Willie Scott in Temple of Doom, as the also brown-haired Karen Allen had played Action Girl Marion Ravenwood in Raiders.

Why mention aversions?

• Also, "The Twins" may or may not be Expies of Jazz, except while Jazz was kinda cool but happened to use slang that was 30 years out of date in the '80s, The Twins use modern slang, aren't nearly as cool, and put together STILL only have half the brain of Jazz. Or, maybe they're just expies of the two Ethnic Scrappy charactersfrom Transformers 1.
• Skids and Mudflap have NOTHING in common with Jazz. While Jazz was apparently based on hip-hop culture, the Twins are just a pair of immature idiots with pottymouths. NO real, racial, ethnic, or cultural marks.

• Joe Don Baker's character of Texan CIA agent Jack Wade in Goldeneye is arguably an Expy of Texan CIA agent Darius Jedburgh in the British miniseries Edge of Darkness. Both were directed by Martin Campbell. Mercifully, neither characters have much to do with Mitchell

Non-YMMV trope.
