Reminder that the Witcher is a direct RIPOFF of Elric of Melniboné!

Reminder that the Witcher is a direct RIPOFF of Elric of Melniboné!

If you still support the Witcher with your purchases, then you support PLAGIARISM!

GOD

Geralt is an ancient elf-king?

So is Drizzt. Any dark albino elf tends to be a rip on Elric.

How many rip-offs of Elric are there?

So white haired characters are all the same you silly virgin?

Geralt is practically the opposite of Elric. Even just his physicality alone. One's fragile, the other can tumble down a mountain and sleep it off.

>both are morally ambiguous supernatural whitehaired beings widely scorned and both called by the nickname "the white wolf"
>HURR IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT SOMEHOW MAGICALLY DURR

they have a similar look and that's about all

stop with your prattle, knave

Don't forget they both have practically identical blackhaired lovers. The Witcher is a blatant theft.

Hi, Razorfist!

See

what the fuck, is Sup Forums being raided by polacks?
there are quite a few similarities between them, it's easy to notice it if you read both works, and it's quite clear sapkowski was inspired by moorcock

sapkowski is a dick for denying this, typical polish mentality
as far as i know if not for this moorcock would be a-ok with that

>The only similarity they share is in their look and Nickname
By that logic Berserk is a rip-off of Sword art online

So, does Griffith also ripoff Elric?
How about Sephiroth, or that dude from Amon Saga, or any white-haired protagonist ever, emo fag?

>blah blah im autistic blah
That's you. That's what you sound like.

fuck off polish scum

Stop undermining our national treasure.

fucking pathetic

Do you you have autism, user?

This. There are almost no similarities really between these characters. These "plagiarism" people are just stupid.

Elric of Melniboné was more darky, edgy, and a king. which is almost nothing like the witcher. both series are good in it's own way. read more novels most novels copy novels, just like everything nowadays.

I watcheddon't the, Razorfist video too.
[Spoiler] I actually ordered the first one of the comics off Amazon after watching it [/spoiler]

Is he /our guy/?

It's not like they're both proficient users of magic potions to supplement their physical abilities.
Or both notorious sad sacks.

Berserk came first, retard.

This. The Witcher is lighthearted and not edgy.

>Autism

He's spoonyone who actually gives a fuck.

is razorfist-posting a brand new meme?

Sapkowski had no access to Western fantasy because commienism, with LoTR being the only exception.

Didn't they give Obama a copy of W2 which he proceeded to throw in the trash?

Witcher has like social commentary, if you totally are socially and culturally retarded.

At least The Witcher has actual fucking.
The Elric comics were made for impotent edgelords who masturbate exponentially like Gayzorfist.

>being this fucking stupid

Tbf, he's the only eCeleb worth a damn.

>masturbate exponentially

What did he mean by this?

This has to be bait.

Each day instead of masturbating once, the next day you do it twice. Then four times. Then eight. Then 16 and so on. Then trips to the ER on the regular.

>direct ripoff
>doesn't have the best character
Elric isn't much without based Stormbringer.

>Responding to bait

>being this fucking stupid
Fits your description well, user.

Plagiarism is a myth. You can't own an idea, therefore it can't be stolen.

>Elric of Melniboné
Is the Elric Saga actually worth reading?

No.

>Is the Elric Saga actually worth reading?
Gee, I don't know user, is pizzagate real?

Moorcock is better in theory than in practice. He has creative ideas, but his writing is super dry.

It's true and I don't give a fuck.
Sue me.

They were going to make a game about Elric in 90s, didn't succeed tho...

Oh well, not that guy, but just started reading the first novel and these are exactly my thoughts.

>Moorcock
>More cock
>Gay

I'm getting conflicting answers here.

Sounds about right. Maybe I'll give it a look later on. I have too much on my backlog anyway.

Tolkien is being plagiarized since last century by calling it "high fantasy" and a "genre".

Tolkien plagiarized too from Norse and Germanic mythology.

Everything is a Remix.

You're a fucking shit fagging shit penetrating cocksucking shitskinned vaginashitting turnip sperming pee licking rectal plunger, user.
Get laid.

Even if it were, who cares? The people who made the video game series didn't write the books. Kill yourself.

I've read the saga recently, and this guy is correct: , some really cool ideas, but the stories usually follow a pretty predictable pattern. It's an alright pulp fantasy, but it kind of lost this edge nowadays and the ideas were copied so often they aren't quite as novel.

Stormbringer is a great character, though.

>Moorcock
>moor cock
BIG

Elric also looks a fuckton like Sorin from MtG. I imagine they copied there too.

there's kain from blood omen, and sephiroth

god damn you people are easy as fuck to bait

>Eric of Melborne

wtf who wants to play an albino abo?

Bullshit, I'm original.

At first I thought that was Amano art, but then I found out there was art of Elric drawn by Amano. You should have used Amano's rendition of Elric as this is a video game board, and Amano's one of the more famous vidya artist. Only people more famous than he are Miyamoto, Toriyama and Nomura.

>fuck up
>I-I was just pretending
Let this be a lesson to you, young man: google before spouting bullshit.

amano is a confirmed homosexual

Thanks OP, I'm actually really interested in this and never heard of it before.

There are literally no similarities besides the hair.

to anyone saying that they have little similarities:
- both albino
- both white hair
- both have glowing eyes
- both nicknamed white wolf
- both use potions to power up
- both use magical swords
- both have augmented senses:
elric uses "witch sense" to see/investigate things, geralt uses "witcher sense" to do the same lol
At this point I couldn't stop laughing at the blatant rip off

I don't care about which of the fat old slobs gets the check so people can plagiarize whatever they wish as long as the end result is enjoyable.

oh and by the way i forgot to mention, there is a lot more similarities.
You'd have to be one hell of a deluded braindead fanboy to deny that geralt is a pure ripoff

Calling Stormbringer simply a "magical sword" is a bit dishonest. Also, Elric doesn't use potions to "power up", he uses them to stay alive. And later he doesn't even need them as long as he keeps killing.

or maybe it is enough to merely know what the fuck you're actually talking about on both sides in an actual sense, past having read it on wikipedia

Recommend me a fantasy novel or series to read.

I was interested in this Michael Moorcock and his Elric of Melonbone but anons are saying it's not very good.

Discworld.

Read it, it's not bad.

>A few coincidences constitutes a rip off
You're really stretching here, mate.

Jack Vance's Cugel books are pretty great.

I recommend Lord of the Rings. It's a cult classic, not many have read it.

Recommend the Silmarillion while you are at it.

Reminder that everything is a direct ripoff
Art is the longest game of Chinese whispers

No. You're a remix of your parents. You even made the same mistakes.

>You even made the same mistakes
My parents used Sup Forums?

I'm currently reading Abercromie's First Law series, it's pretty decent, and it has a character that is actually very good.

>baseless statements
Your arguments mean nothing without evidence backing it up. I don't believe that everything is a rehash.

I appreciate the feedback and will investigate them.

The Kirito/Guts bait is really common.

If you fell for it you have nobody to blame but yourself.

not him but you'd have to literally be too braindead to be here to fuck up that hard, he got you man

>he continues pretending
It's an anonymous site. Just drop it.
>samefagging with a phone IP
Really clever.

This image legit makes me wanna punch someone in the face etc.

>black swordsman
>neither of them are black
When are white people gonna stop stealing our color?

Obama is racist against slavs

Is Elric of Melniboné based on multiverse theory and Arthurian legends you call it a ripoff?

>woman on the left staring at Obama's crotch
