    Not like the entire history of media has really differed in that regard, either. Romeo and Juliet was just a British reboot of Pyramus and Thisbe. That, and the volume of writing that just retreads other stories and mythology that came before. How many works are just riffing on Journey to the West, or stories from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, for example?
