Christ, why can't he come up with something original! Nothing is original anymore. Nothing. There's always going to be something similar out there.

Just be glad Monty isn't doing the same old "Take characters from classic stories and make them go through the same exact stories except with some kind of twist" shit. We don't need this to be one of the many Cinderella re-tellings or a Little Red Riding Hood spoof (like Hoodwinked. *Shudders*) or one of those Beauty and the Beast retellings (wasn't there a movie that did one a couple years ago or something?).

And none of the characters are specifically based on pop culture references. A small few of them have their physical appearances inspired by something like a K-Pop band member's costume in a music video or a genderbent Roman cosplay, but that doesn't define them.

There's also the fact that he is now trying to make as many of the characters' outfits out of actual existing clothing that you can buy online or in stores as possible, for cosplayers' convenience. You can actually buy the dress Weiss wore in A Minor Hiccup and Painting the Town. You can buy Neptune's jacket shirt thing. You can buy Sun's shoes! You can buy the pants Blake wore in Painting the Town! Zwei is based of Ein from Cowboy Bebop.

Tuskon is based of Sabertooth from the X-men.

And the retelling of the tails with a twist is awesome! It basically like 'What if all these fairy tails lived in the same world?' And it's better than what Monty made.
