Decent idea, and the resulting posters are indeed stunning.
But… I’d prefer to see an artist spending his time on original ideas of his own, not mashing up other people’s works. After all, if we are going to constantly harp on Hollywood for returning again and again to reboots and remakes and sequels, rather than developing original properties, don’t we have to demand the same thing of all artists?
I understand that these types of mash-ups are a good way for an artist to get noticed, the same way a musician might put up a cover song on YouTube in order to draw viewers in. Yet I still stand by my point that, if we demand originality of one group, we must demand it of all groups. Besides, isn’t it better to fail at your own thing than ride someone else’s coattails?
