OK that negates my premise, which just means that regardless of what he said most people were still going to be turned off by such an unoriginal story lol...
If we are using the term 'literally' in its original sense then sure I wouldn't class that as homage.If I make Indiana Jones in Space, and literally replicate the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark is that still "homage" to you?
Indiana Jones in space was pretty close with the Crystal Skull.If I make Indiana Jones in Space, and literally replicate the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark is that still "homage" to you?
The difference is Lucas drew inspiration from those sources but he didn't replicate their basic plots, nor did he shamelessly crib ideas from other movies. That Honest Trailer was obviously made for laughs but nonetheless many of the points made with respect to the lack of originality ring true. Whether Snyder did it deliberately or unconsciously (like a rock band unknowingly reusing someone else's riff in a song), it's still a form of plagiarism. Not that anyone's going to be up in arms over that in the movie industry, but when the foundation for this franchise is a patchwork quilt of previously seen plots, tropes and character types the desire to see more of it wanes considerably.
This bickering is pointless.
Who cares if it was an "homage" or a "rip-off" or a completely original idea or scene for scene remake.....what a stupid thing to get hung up on and argue about for days.
Nothing can change the fact that it's just plain NOT a good movie.
I know there are two posters here that insist it is and it's the rest of the world that's wrong and that's why these arguments are taking such twisty and turny paths to avoid the obvious bottom line: it was a lousy movie.
It's so poorly made it's laughable. It's an embarrassment to everyone involved.
But at the end of the day...so what? It's just another in the long line of **** garbage spewed out by Hollywood in a never-ending production line churning out CONTENT. Content, content, content. "Just turn your brain off man, and sit and enjoy some fresh content for a while."
It would have been completely forgotten a week after it dropped if not for the two cheerleaders that refuse to let it go.

Yes Hidden Fortress with the finale of Dam Busters. To his credit *that* particular combo had certainly never been done before, lol.I always assumed Star Wars New Hope was based on Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, with the comedic bickering duo and peasants ending up saving a princess.
An episode of The Clone Wars was basically a direct rip-off of SS but that obviously came much later. And then post-Lucas there was that Scout Walker episode of Mando that was essentially "Two Samurai" so it has become a pretty tired "homage" even prior to Rebel Moon.I wonder where all this "Lucas stole from 7 Samurai" stuff came from? Disney?
Talk about the movie. Enjoy the movie. It's cool.
Stop with the nonsense about "Well....what's the difference between homage and plagiarism, really? Aren't ALL movies plagiarism?"
And who could forget such chestnuts as the back and forth about "Stop making blanket statements!"
If we're gonna argue, at least argue about interesting stuff like tentacle sex monsters and the colors of the sky and bone staff weapons.

Those swords that lady had were a rip off of lightsabers
Also the droid's voice was clearly stolen from Odin in the MCU.*Throws line in the lake
