Be specific about what you're talking about here. We have folks on this thread who clearly think you're talking about black hobbits.I'm saying Wheel of Time, Rings of Power, Blood Origins, and Willow all look incredibly similar due to the creators' shared "vision" of how "modernizing" these franchises should look like. Instead of unique settings with their own morals, cultures, and fashions, we get slight variations of fantasy "modern day Hollywood".
WotC is also feeling the same vibe, thus the similarities. I don't think any of these shows are copying D&D, I think they are just in creative agreement.
