Heaven forbid writers be forced to come up with something original or anything

Pretty much why I prefer manga. The convention for manga is creators come up with their own characters and stories rather then remixing preexisting ones. Of course there's original stuff in the west, but people don't talk about those nearly as much. There's also some examples of Japanese characters getting passed about to different writers, but that's also less common.
