"Ripping off Cuphead" is an odd thing to complain about, when Cuphead took its art style from Fleischer Studios and early Disney, and its music from Cab Calloway
Cuphead itself shamelessly rips off other works, is what I'm saying. Really, really shamelessly. To a degree that's less charming than uncomfortable. So if another game wants to rip them off, fine.
It's actually kind of hilarious how angry people are at Enchanted Portals for ripping off a rip-off.
"Did they ask the creators of Cuphead first :("
Idk who did Cuphead ask?
I mean, if it's all public domain, who gives a shit if another game rips it off?
And if it's that important to give credit to creators of original content, Cuphead's entire aesthetic is ripping off, I mean, paying homage to, original creators.
Then there's the fact that that the character designs and animation Cuphead took from were often quite overtly racist, and in tweaking them just enough to put in the game, Cuphead whitewashed that.
But that's an essay someone else has already written: https://unwinnable.com/2017/11/10/cuphead-and-the-racist-spectre-of-fleischer-animation/
