I think you're right, but my overall point is that DC sued under the simple basis that Captain Marvel's chin looked like Superman's and that both had black hair.

According to the 'Supreme logic', check the following:

If I did 'Castaways' Island' and filled it with a professor, a farm girl, a moron, a fat skipper, a movie star, and two billionaires then those that own Gilligan's Island could sue me and win.

If, however, I did Castaways' Island with new characters BUT recycled plots from Gilligan's Island I would never get sued.

At least according to the 'Supreme logic'.

Be honest, if someone did something called Castaways' Island and it used the same plots from Gilligan's Island what would you call it, a rip off or a homage?
