Hilda "RIPOFF"?!

[@AnomalousNormie]

I feel like we blur the lines between "inspired" and "ripoffs" too much these days.

[@The_Otherworlds-101]

Just take a look at the Inheritance Cycle, a book series heavily “inspired” by The Lord of the Rings and countless others.

[@jime1636]

I never expected a Hilda ripoff kinda funny to see it though, but honestly I kinda think it's heavily inspired

[@triciaunknown6757]

Yeah I also think it's inspired

[@Obsession.999]

Yea its kinda original

This is not a ripoff, did you even watch the video?

[@HawkAnimations-0]

It's very good . _ . 👍 I love the animation and creative art style

[@michaelmenei5403]

Wouldn't say a ripoff. Likely a coincidence or the author took inspiration from Hilda. Regardless. I'd love to see this be made into an animated series like Hilda was. Looks like if Hilda and Adventure Time was put together. :D

3:16 That face, I don’t know why but that face has some serious “imma bout to commit some crimes vibe” honestly she is already hildas slightly edgy rival

As someone who has read both books I completely agree it may look like a ripoff but there’s a vast majority of difference between them

Thank you for showing me something to bring back the lost feelings of some legendary shows that have ended! I’m so grateful 😊

If Amphibia and Hilda had a child it would be this (and I love both franchises ‼️)

[@sweetcartoons7354]

Maybe a crossover between Aster and Hilda and that would be cool actually. British and French.

Hey yeah that could be connected to it

[@delilahdelusions]

hilda is scandinavian

[@kitkatdoesstuff747]

I read Aster and watched Hilda and never considered any correlation between them… interesting!

[@The_TacoCat]

As someone who read aster before watched Hilda, I can say that I didn’t notice anything, other than them both being in the mountains and hav in a cute animal siekik

[@outl]

honestly, this one seems interesting because of how the character, the illustrations, and the similarities

[@datbo1]

what I'm getting it at is that hilda dna ster are peer IPs so to speak who both had similar ideas and drew inspiration from modern children's entertainment media from around europe.

[@serenroberts2883]

Hilda feels like watching a show on that one little sibling that gives you endless anxiety as they continuously nearly die and somehow are indestructible

[@Corgimations]

Steven Universe:

[@kaylasilverstein4137]

You hit the NAIL on the head

[@biyaonibakasan]

something that could fill this empty void of mine, more hilda-like content!!

[@NoMercyProGirl]

Most stories written go through certain structures. That doesn't mean it's a ripoff and from what you showed along how you describe its similarities-it's just a natural way of writing. People gain inspiration from others work; albeit, even what you pointed out wasn't a ripoff. There are many stories with a character who have pets as their companions (paranormal park, his dark materials, and fareseer trilogy) and to be honest, there isn't much of a resemblance between the characters. It just seems that Aster has some aspects that you see is similar which is very common in books. Please refrain from saying ripoffs because it does hurt reputations when doing such and is mainly used when the author is clearly going story by story or in many major/minor aspects (such as characters, relationships, storyline, and personality)

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I think I have an idea as to why people say it's a ripoff when there are enough differences to make it an original work. The reason might be because the art style, specifically the colors, is similar enough that it reminds people of hilda. I bet, if you completely change the art style, no one would say it's a ripoff. Just don't judge a book by its cover, Also, reading a bunch of other comments, I'm not sure a many of those commenters actually watched the video (which is really sad)

[@VigilanteLulu]

First, Gumball with Miracle Star, now this. I know Hilda is an adventure series first and foremost, but it would be funny to see her roast HER knockoff.

[@bubblegumluv2007]

DID U WATCH THE VIDEO? ASTER ISN'T A RIPOFF

[@SpongeBob-lt8mu]

This keeps happening in the comments section, this is not a ripoff you idiot

[@ks58843]

The similarities seem to simply come from classic folklore themes that Hilda is also based on.

[@Scissorie]

I like how in season 3 Hilda’s grandma is named astrid

[@TheRandomShow7009]

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

People really should know the DIFFERENCE between.........INSPIRED BY and RIPOFF, like I just need to watch the art and yes clearly the artist admire Luke Pearson work, and yes they probably love Hilda, but that doesn't make this comic a RIPOFF, who many stories and comics or movies or games are inspired by others that came before.....I know you got the the same conclusion but making the video and entitle as a RIP OFF is not a good thing for the people who made this book (that looks adorable why the heck you do that), not cool dude, not cool.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

He put ripoff in the title because of clickbait. Only the people that don't watch the video to the end will not realize that it isn't actually a ripoff.

[@Plantonpawz]

as someone with the original hilda and the troll book, and not a copy, i literally watch hilda everyday when home from school.

[@berniekatzroy]

Hilda isnt a rip off. It was inspired by the aster but still its own. Its like how many shows have art styles inspired by adventure time or steven universe? A lot right. Everyone is inspired by one thing or another what makes the biggest impact is what is known in pop culture like marvel or dc, gumball and its chinese ripoff, rick n morty and everything else.

[@sebastiantorrealday7019]

I want Hilda season 4 and another movie and that's final

[@BenStimpsonAuthor]

If it was a ripoff... the legal department would be involved to cease and desist... if the idea is just different *enough* then they don't have a case. Luke Pearson ofcoruse would not answer your question, why would he? If he said anything to you about it he could potentially put himself in a legal bind... so ofcoruse he wouldn't say anything to you. Inspirations happen all the time, look at harry Potter and Worst Witch.

[@Gregoriahsskittle]

Tbh Aster sounds almost as interesting as hilda

[@emilyhopemeechem4183]

If there is another ripoff of Hilda, then that Hilda clone would have Periwinkle hair (purplish blue hair)

[@Charlotte226]

Dude It's Not a ripoff Maybe a bit similar but magic stories like this existed way before Hilda this is reaching a ripoff is something that obviously changed nothing but copy the entire source material and claimed as there own with to many things that are the same from the og source they are taking from. You clearly don't seem to know that as this Video Implies it is a ripoff like others say it could be a bit Inspired and that's normal so what now you gonna call Ninjago a ripoff of tmnt because they have a blue and red Ninja.

i'd say it's not a direct ripoff, taking the approach of hilda, but doing it's own thing with it. like how undertale takes the rpg aspects of earthbound, but makes it different and it's own thing.
