ZTG Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I think Disney's new movie John Carter is plagerising The Bara Magna story. Not going into a rant, but so far it's either similar or full out coPy right. John Carter is sent to a new world and must fight to return (Mata Nui did that too!) he befriends a native, has this slobbery pet(not a bug but still) and must fight a horde of unbeatable foes(skrall much?)!

Wyrd Bid Ful Araed Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's based on a series of books that predates the Bara Magna storyline. So no, it isn't plagiarising it. If anything the Bara Magna storyline may have taken a few cues from John Carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyrd Bid Ful Araed Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 'John Carter of Mars' is an upcoming film. I'm sure you can find a trailer if you look. Its based on a books series by Edgar Rice Burroughs where a man from Earth is mysteriously transported to Mars where he gets into various adventures. The first book is Princess of Mars in case you want to check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
