I'm not sure people complaining about that add anything to the overall discussion. At most they are drawing a parallel that actually exists but doesn't mean anything (Yes, Storm Kings Thunder is Against The Giant inspired but does that cheapen it? Does that speak to it's construction? Does it tell us anything about it's inherent value?). At worst it creates some kind of antagonism towards a thing before it's started because it's like a thing we enjoyed. I liked The Dark Knight. I didn't go 'It's a bit like Batman Begins, so god I hate that' I also didn't go 'It's a bit like the Batman comics that I like, I won't get it'. I don't get the antagonism for stuff when it's adding to a mythos - it's like ragging on Lord Of The Rings becuase it re-uses ideas from The Hobbit. Anyway, I like the idea of tomb of annihilation because finally after all these year acererak might seem like a rounded villain with realistic motivations. Not just a random joker-like Lich you think you've killed but haven't. Anyway Mistwell, I know you aren't subscribing to the viewpoint I'm arguing against, so please feel free to ignore this rant.</blockquote>
