unless you count "x is a poor man's y" which I just usually say for the sake of brevity

@tiffany I've fallen into using this in the past, but it's not really meaningful as actual criticism because it divorces both works from their respective contexts

@tiffany Mind if I steal that idea and run to a T-shirt printing shop ?

@tiffany Remember: As cliche as it is, context is crucial when critiquing media. A comparable database of tropes and archetypes will identify storytelling beats but won't actually articulate any effective use of craft or storytelling tools outside of it. It's functionally the same as pointing out that two characters from different series both wore red shirts at some point.
