          So what you’re tell me all artists in history should be sending residuals to the first caveman to draw on a wall?

          You know what, sure, let’s go with that. Maybe copyright enforcement is the way to discovering time travel in this reality.

            I will issue you a challenge: create art inspired by absolutely nothing and 100% orginal.

              Why would I agree to a challenge that I know is impossible?

              I thought the implications of my sarcastic comment about the first cave painting was that there is no 100% original or inspiration-free work of art at this point in human history. However, there is a difference between plagiarism and transformative work.

              Dante’s Inferno is based off the Bible. Does that mean Dante should have given all credit and proceeds of his sales to the Church? Jesus? God? That’s what my cave painting joke was trying to highlight.

                Dude, I’m sorry.

                I wasn’t drunk or hungover yet posted a reply to the wrong person. That was meant for the touching grass user.

                I totally agree with you.

            Don’t be silly, residuals only last until 70 years after the artist’s death… that caveman died thousands of years ago. /s

            Absolutely. If you create a piece of art. Its precious and anyone who ever looked at that piece owes the artist something. This debt should be paid for life and beyond for all time. End of story

      The only true artist is Ooonga Baloonga, who invented art when he drew something roughly resembling an animal on a random cave wall 6 bajillion years ago. Everything since then is derivative bullshit, lifeless imitations of his unique vision.

      That’s the point. It’s supposed to be a facsimile of s man. The whole plot of the show is a critique of comic book tropes and the consequences of idolizing superheroes etc

      Exactly. It’s like Elon pointing at a SpaceX rocket and saying that he made it.
