Why didn't Ligotti and Alan Moore sue?

>>9179136
Because they're not Harlan Ellison.

Ligotti's too much of an autistic shut-in to care. he's probably just happy he's selling more books.

>>9179359
Can confirm. I bought a book by him just because of this show :v

You know the bit at the end of the first season, where Rust is talking about the light winning? Basically lifted verbatim from an issue of Top 10.

Ugh, the dingus left out the one important panel.

Here. It is rather verbatim in actuality. And silly as the material appears, tonally within the whole of the comic the stuff packs a punch when you get there

>>9179668

I'm not a dingus, you're a dingus.

Dingus.

What's the similarity between Ligotti and TD? Haven't watched TD yet although I'm excited to

I get the notion that a lot of this was Pizzolato reading Ligotti with a pad of paper and a pen in hand. He changes just enough that it isn't a 1:1 case of plagiarism, but...

And this shouldn't be construed as a warning away from the first season, as it's excellent. But the second season is incredibly disappointing.

Pizza BTFO.

Season two provided he was just a thieving hack without any original ideas.

Top 10.

Because nonfiction is fair game in fiction.

>>9179136
Because it is a "homage"
