"Spin-Offs and Originality"

SMBZ Ramble: Spin-Offs and Originality by ShadicStudios, Sep 16, 2015, 11:03:54 AM Literature Scripts & Screenplays Comic Scripts Greetings everyone, how have you all been? Before I get started today, I'd just like to give my late congrats to Alvin Earthworm for reviving SMBZ. While I'm personally not the biggest fan of the series, it's good to see a lot of people are happy that it's back. I wish Alvin the best of luck with his series and I may check out an episode or two when they're done. Anyway, onto some controversy! Today's little post is going to be both a PSA to the internet and a bit of a rant. This has been something that has been bugging for quite awhile and now I think this is the best time to address this. Do please try to keep an open mind when reading this. I'm not trying to start any arguments, call out Alvin/the quality of his series or anything of the sort. I'm actually trying to clear up some misconceptions the internet has created over the past few years in regards to "Super Mario Bros. Z". Debates are welcome after reading, let's just not bite each others heads off, OK? All righty, onto the first topic! 1. Super Mario Bros. Z and Spin-offs First, let's start with Dictionary.com's definition of the word "spin-off": "Any product that is an adaption, outgrowth, or development of another similar product." In short, pretty much take a parent product, take a character, topic or event from said parent product and make a series about that. To use SMBZ as an example, a series that went into detail about Metal Sonic's uprising and rebellion against Eggman would be a spin-off. Or a series focusing on the adventures of Wario and Waluigi during the course of the series. A spin-off almost always takes place inside the same universe/continuity as the parent product. Now, you maybe wondering: "I know what a spin-off is, what's the point of addressing what it is?". I'm addressing what it is because it seems not everyone has gotten the hint. Yesterday, this was brought to my attention Share this Entry G+10 Like us on Facebook5 What do you think? Spicy or mild? O Spicy, all the way 。Mild, man PROTIP: Press T to view the image galery, ' to iew the video gallery or 'r to view a random entry Spread Since its dobut in 2006, Supar Mano Bros Z has gained a signficant online following on Nowgrounds and elsewhere among the fans of the three ideo games and anime franchises, with every episode in the senies gamening over two millon views, much thanks to its high 90s nostalgia factor and impressive quaity of battle sequences Spin-Offs With the massive amount of fan support from the series, more than a dozen of modern remakes and spinofs in altemate universe (AU) continuationsiel were proposed after the series went on hiatus, though only a few have ended up reaching the production phase Super Manio Bros Heroes of the Stars Mega Sonic Bros. AF Super Mario Bros. Kai Z Super Maio Broa. Z Reign of Darkoness Mario and Sonic: Worlds in Danger . Mario and Sonic Dawn of the Tue Power Super Manio Bros. Z: roaRXion Mario and Sonic Super Rival Sega New Super Maio Bros. Manio,Sonic and Megaman: Heroes United Super Mario Bros. Z: Mocha Sonic's Dofeat Super Mario Bros. GT The Grand Adventu Continuation On October 5th, 2013, Avin stated that he had regained some interest in working on the series. The creator required fash, and as a test, remade the frst scene of the first episode However, Alm subsequently stated that the scene was only an exercise and there were no plans to recreate the entre series, and if he were to return to working on the series, he envisioned the project as a complete reboot with significant aterations to the original storyline, as he felt dissatisfied with the quality of many of the original episodes. However, on September 4th, Alvin uploaded a video to his YouTube channel confirming that a reboot of the series was indeed in progress Super Mario bros Z reboot intro SUPER Yes. According the Super Mario Bros. Z Know Your Meme page (check it if you want), all of those are spin-off series, my series is among them. I can't speak for every one of those series (although some of them I can hazard a good guess), but I wish to clarify something that has been surrounding my series since day 1: OT Here's a fun, behind-the-scenes fact about "Super-Rival Saga". I came up with the title, first draft of the story and original sprite comic BEFORE I had even heard of "Super Mario Bros. Z". My series has around in one shape or another since 2007. I'll admit, I have stated in the past that Alvin Earthworm inspired me. What I meant by this was that he inspired me to start animating. He did not inspire me to create "Super-Rival Saga". Hell, my original intention for sprite animating wasn't even for "Supr-Rival Saga", but an unrelated "Legend of Zelda" series. After that fell through, that is when I decided to bring back "Super-Rival Saga" as a flash series. What I consider my series to be is called "fanon". In simple terms, I have the canon Mario/Sonic characters that star in all of the games in a fictional adventure. My mentality when writing for this series is "How would Nintendo/SEGA actually do a story like this I am treating this as if it's an actual, canon story, even though I know it is not. Yes, liberties are being taken, that is unavoidable, but my version of the Mario/Sonic characters and Alvin's version of them are completely unrelated. I seriously do not know where this mentality came from. Just because a sprite series (hell, any kind of series) is a crossover between Mario and Sonic does not automatically mean that it's a spin-off of "Super Mario Bros. Z". Unless the creator specifically states otherwise, do not assume that. This leads me into my next point: 2. Super Mario Bros. Z and Originality Here's a plot twist that would shock even M. Night Shyamalan himself Now, before anyone starts demanding my head, I want to clarify I am not talking about the quality of writing in SMBZ. Hel, I'm not even saying that my series is original. It's nowhere near original and I know that. What I'm talking about is the mentality a lot of people seem to have in that they think/act like Super Mario Bros. Z was the first Mario/Sonic crossover ever made. If you are seriously one of those people, pull up a chair and sit down because I am about to go over a little history lesson with you Sonic the Hedgehog was released in 1991. From Day 1, he was marketed to be a rival to Mario. This was in 1991. Super Mario Bros. Z did not start until 2006. That is a 15 year gap between Sonic's release and SMBZ's release. I can guarantee that stories of Mario/Sonic crossing over were thought up or written (hell, possibly animated) well before 2006. He, I'm sure there were stories in 1991 of the two series crossing over. Ideas for the two crossing over came well before Alvin started his series and they will continue long after Alvin finishes. The question now is: "Was SMBZ actually the first crossover that was a hit?". I can't answer that for sure. It's a possibility,but it wouldn't exactly surprise me if the answer was yes. But, at the end of the day, my point being is that not every Mario/Sonic crossover is related to SMBZ. Not every sprite artist that creates a Mario/Sonic series to trying to be "The next Alvin Earthworm" or to "continue the legacy of SMBZ"· Like I stated on last point, unless the c states otherwise, PLEASE STOP SSUMI Are there some people who copy Alvin and want to make the next SMBZ? Of course. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" as the saying goes, but not everyone wants to do what Alvin Earthworm did. Alvin took an over decade old idea, added Dragon Ball Z elements to it and he struck gold with the internet. But that does not make every single Mario/Sonic sprite series afterwards a copy. I am being redundant as hell thoughout this, but it bears repeating. Please stop assuming/stating everyone that is making a Mario/Sonic crossover is trying to copy Alvin Earthworm or is making a spin-off of his series. That is TLDR: Not every Mario/Sonic crossover series is related SM t the Mario/Sonic crossover Stop assuming everyone is trying to copy Alvin
