I mean, the movie and the character are hardly obscure. It's kind of like saying you've made a Ranger named "Strider" who hangs out with elves but is really a king in exile and he quotes Tolkien. Someone who had never read or seen LotR might then read the books later and be all "!!!", but maybe whoever did it originally thought the inspiration was quite clear. Hey, it sounded like your bitter planetouched character developed some depth with a cartoony sidekick, so if it's cool, who cares, amirite?</blockquote>
