Instead of merely copying what's popular at the moment, they were like "how can we make this different?"<br /><br />Also, name any foreign superhero, I can tell you exactly where they were copied from. Everything comes from something.Aris B.

Back in 90's pinoy's only access to Manga is close to nothing because most of them are really expensive and most of them won't even reach the local shore. So Kick Fighter is the answer to the growing demand of Komiks based on the most popular video game back on those era. though creators based the character designs from Street Fighter characters, the story and personality of every characters created in KF are unique on their own way.<br /><br />In reality, there is no such thing as perfect originality. Or kung meron man it is super rare. What really exist are ideas inspired by other ideas. Even the Elmer of Gerry who you used as an example is in my opinion is not entirely original. We know a lot of comic books with talking animals. Pugad Baboy for example. Pero niripoff ba ni Gerry ang Pugad Baboy? No, because Gerry used that idea and created his own. That is the same with Kick Fighter komiks. <br /><br />If you will open up your mind, you will find out there are a lot of best selling or award winning titles that are not entirely original. I'm sure that you will be shocked.Joriben Zaballahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532346347069397682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552337539512473269.post-74327947578956731262011-01-17T19:52:36.294-08:002011-01-17T19:52:36.294-08:00Something is better than nothing.

My point was that there was at least some effort to differentiate Biotrog from Vega/Balrog in terms of story and appearance (although as far as the latter aspect goes, the similarities may still be too close). If I may be so bold to say so, I can compare it to how the original Captain Barbell was created; superficialy, it's really Captain Marvel, but everything else about it is very different. Captain Barbell the TV show, on the other hand, did the reverse; turning a character with an established history and some claim to originality into a complete rip-off.<br /><br />Actually, as far as originality in superhero comics goes (in general, not just local ones), I'm of the opinion that every superhero has been "inspired" by something, especially the major ones. But that's another topic altogether, I think.<br /><br />Anyway, you're certainly entitled to your opinions and I appreciate your sharing them (although I didn't quite appreciate being called "sugflsdhgdgdgdfg." Just kidding (^_^)). And thank you for your comments, I'm glad you like the site. I'm just doing my modest part in preserving Filipino comics history.Aris B.

It is a great collection you are doing.<br /><br />I honestly believe that we Filipinos are very talented BUT we sorely lack originality. Every time I pick up Pinoy Indies at conventions SO MUCH of it are still just analogs of popular American & Japanese concepts... but stuff like Mr. Aliguilan's Elmer still give me hope.SFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552337539512473269.post-19190600326992230212010-12-22T08:37:02.476-08:002010-12-22T08:37:02.476-08:00And to this day the character STILL looks like Veg...And to this day the character STILL looks like Vega/Balrog... long blonde hair, partially bare chest, claw & hip sash.<br /><br />"Inspired by"<br /><br />sugflsdhgdgdgdfgSFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552337539512473269.post-7783519754994779512010-12-22T08:33:17.703-08:002010-12-22T08:33:17.703-08:00"inspired by"?

Like selling bootleg CDs & clothes. You take a brand & copy it & profit.
