On Queen's Thief vs Tangled

 On the recent post regarding the similarities between the Queen's Thief series and the movie Tangled:
How do these similarities make you feel about the movie? Do you resent them/the movie? Do you find it suspiciously or annoyingly interesting? Or do the coincidences make you like the movie all that much more?
I'm on the fence myself. On the one hand, I sort of sniff at the movie for being blatantly unoriginal and because Gen the Thief is totally superior to Eugene the thief. But on the other hand, ahh, it's coolly uncanny how many similarities there are!

AH! Ed! That's who it was! The suspicion that Gen was similar in physique to some other character I knew has been nagging my for a while!

Gen and Ed are also the only two male characters I can think of off the top of my head who braid their hair.

An excellent point! :P

Now I'm making analogies... in QT world I think Sophos most closely resembles Alphonse. They're both kind-hearted, and their exterior (since CoK) is frightening and doesn't match who they are inside. Also if anyone is like a younger brother to Gen, it would have to be Sophos.
