I really enjoyed The Legend of Eli Monpress series, though it’s not pop culture.

They don’t have to win. They don’t even have to follow through on their threat. They’ve already done what they meant to do and that’s just to intimidate everyone else. There will be plenty of folks who see this and maybe speak out a little less or stop speaking out entirely. Do you think this case is going to get the same exposure after it’s been dropped? They’ll already be onto the next intimidation tactic.

Your ideas aren’t original anyway. For every script that makes it to production, there’s another 1000 in the rejection pile that have the same basic story and probably a lot of similar dialog and jokes.

How does a first time chef ensure someone along the way doesn’t rip off their cheeseburger recipe?

The super-dimensional beings that wrote the chicken script came first.
