Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 6306292" data-attributes="member: 18">The problem here is the one I keep repeating, but people seem keen to ignore - the sort of people creative and talented enough to come up with a truly brilliant cartoon like Avatar are not the sort of people who want to be bound to someone else's IP.It's not impossible, and I could easily envision such a cartoon, but you would really need to find and convince the right people, and that would not be trivial in the least.See above - the sort of studios which have the talent to make this kind of thing sing do not want to be bound to other people's IP. You would have to either create a studio, or locate one which was on the cusp of brilliance, but still poor enough to want to use your IP rather than a look-a-like one.To be clear, this isn't a theory of mine, either - this has been explicitly stated by multiple studios and publishers - they'd rather take a risk on their own IP, which they own and which can never be taken from them, than go with slightly more certainty from an existing IP (the main exception being Star Wars, because that's bigger than god).Furthermore, D&D has issues here because it is the original IP that caused studios to start worrying about this - the reason we have Dragon Age is because of all the annoyance WotC caused BioWare with the D&D license.This on the other hand seems more viable - very few comic books today use new original IPs, and thus comic book writers/artists are much more likely to be happy to use your IP to tell interesting stories.</blockquote>
