T-Rex: The year: the future. The time: five seconds from tomorrow.
T-Rex: And no new stories have entered the public domain in generations!
T-Rex: In this new era of perpetual copyright, every story except those that predate the founding of Disney are owned by someone! Even fan work has been monetized, with clearing houses demanding fees be paid even if you just wanna draw your MPREG Sonic OC crossing over with Pokémon!
T-Rex: ESPECIALLY IF you wanna draw that, actually!
Utahraptor: Sounds dystopian!
T-Rex: But there is a bright side!
T-Rex: Out of copyright peeps are free and clear, so THEY'RE reworked within an inch of their lives. Dracula is reinvented as a Batman analogue, Robin Hood becomes a new generation's James Bond! This is precisely analogous to how on islands without mammals, other animals (like birds) evolve to fill those niches!!
T-Rex: SURPRISE, YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS ABOUT SONIC OCs BUT INSTEAD YOU LEARNED SCIENCE!!
T-Rex: That's the T-Rex Experience, Baby.™
