https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargirl_(film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargirl_(TV_series) I like Disney, but them making a movie with same name as a DC character kind of comes across as... well, jerk. Jerky. It's like totally stealing Stargirl DC's thunder, and I liked Stargirl in JLU. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If only Disney used their oracles to find out DC would do a show with the same name.

DC can't sue Marvel for plagiarizing their title because their title character plagiarized Captain America's outfit.

I seriously doubt Disney was even thinking about DC's Stargirl when they made a movie adaptation of a book with an entirely different premise.
And it isn't like Stargirl is the world's most original name. Skye Reynolds posted... DC can't sue Marvel for plagiarizing their title because their title character plagiarized Captain America's outfit. Also worth noting that while the character Courtney Whitmore predates the book Stargirl by a year, she didn't actually start using the Stargirl code name until after the book came out. --- S*** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again. - Forgotten Love Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl ...

Honestly, DC has personally fucked over Captain Marvel/Shazam too hard to ever be allowed to be mad about Marvel having a Captain Marvel. The whole reason Marvel was even able to snag that name was because DC sued Fawcett Comics into oblivion because they claimed Captain Marvel was copying Superman. Only later did they buy the Fawcett Comics on the cheap and tried to relaunch the character.

The character has been around for years. And her father starman was around in the 40s.That doesn't change the fact that the Disney movie was in development for two years before DC decided to make their show. Again what was Disney supposed to do, look into the future and decide not to make the movie just because DC decides to make a show using a C-lister with the same name? --- I was a God, Valeria.

Regarding the book, I just looked up the summary as well. Strange that it's not mentioned. It could be that I'm completely mixing up that story arc with one from another book I read around that time. I remember reading like 5 books that summer, lol. The story I'm remembering is a girl that --- Congratulations! Your post was deemed response-worthy. ... Copied to Clipboard!
