>>120702300>To be fair, wasn't Man of Tomorrow sort of a pseudo-American Alien adaptation that did a lot of shit that wasn't in American Alien?Years ago Mark Waid explained how people are entitled to pay out creators for using old story ideas. Essentially, unless they called that movie American Alien, they would not have to pay Landis anything, and I think that's what people would actually be happy about considering Landis' history.
Waid has said that he wasn't paid for the story in Justice League: Doom basically being JLA: Tower of Babel, but understands that it was the contract that he willingly signed.
