Superman fans are complaining that Underdog should be sued for
being a copy of Superman.

Get it through your heads. It's a parody, not a copy.

If there weren't any scenes in it that were a parody of Superman,
then it wouldn't really be "Underdog".

"Look up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. No, it\s
Superman" (from the various Superman series')

"Look up in the sky, it's a bird. |It's a plane. No, it's
a frog" (from the original Underdog tv series)

Clark Kent always running into the inside of a phone booth
to change into Superman. (from various Superman series').

Shoeshine boy always running into the inside of s phone
booth to change into Underdog. And the phone booth explodes
every time he does. (from the original Underdog tv series).

Superman regularly saying "It's up, up, up and away I go"
(from various Superman series).

Underdog regularly saying "It's hip, hip, hip and away I go.
(from the original Underdog tv series)

WShen told it's a parody, Superman fans reply that it's a
copy, not a parody , and that just because it was changed
into a comedy doesn't make it a parody.

That just changing one word, the word "Superman" in the
opening line to "a frog" doesn't make it a parody, only a
comedy that's a copy of Superman, not a parody.

That just addi9ng one extra scene after the identity chabge
in the phone booth (the phone booth exploding) doesn't make
it a parody, only a comedy that's a copy of Superman.

That changing one word ("up") in the line "up, up, up and
away" to the word "hip" ("hip, hip, hip and away) isn't
a parody, only a comedy that's a copy of Superman.

Okay, Superman fans,just for the sake of argument, let's
assume it is a copy of Superman instead of a parody.
After all, there's also scenes in the original series like
bullets bouncing off of Underdog since he\s invulnerable
to them. Underdog having X-Ray vision and atomic breath.

The statute of limitations expired decades ago.

If you wanted to sue Underdog for being a copy of Superman,
you should have done it fourty three years ago instead of
waiting fourty three years before filing a lawsuit.

I\m sure a judge would throw the case out of court if I
waited almost half a century aftere some incident happened
before filing a lawsuit about it.

After almost half a century, Underdog is now firmly rooted in
popular culture.

And while I''m at it, should the creators of Underdog sue
The Powerpuff girls for coptying their idea?

Fans of The Powerpuff girls say that the issue of
superheroes destroying the buildings while they're
saving someone was never mentioned in any cartoons until
that certain episode of The Powerpuff girls.

Well, they're wrong. It was adresseed and mentionedin the
very first episode of Underdog, decades before The Powerpuff Girls
ever existed.

If you don't believe me, just take a look at the Underdog
episode titled "Safe Waif"
