Why does cover even bother re-skinning existing deities? Can't they just add Zeus and say "ok, this is zeus, just don't ask him why he's a girl and definitely don't ask him about the swan thing" (I know they wouldn't reference rape, this is a joke, you fucking retard)
They could've at least chosen more iconic occupations, like thunder god, or god of the underworld. Chronos is pretty iconic, but the first thing normies think of is thunder.
Personally, I want Anubis as a cute, brown dog girl. Sana could've been that.
They're playing it way too safe.
On the other hand, I like how the girls are their own thing. It is pretty tiring, the Roman and Greek pantheons are everywhere.
But again, why even bother re-skinning gods that exist already? Might as well just roll with it.
I mean, it doesn't really matter, it's just live CGDCT, no one cares about lore that much, including the girls.

If you make literally Zeus you can't copyright the design since it's public domain, or at least you can't stop someone from making a very close copycat.
If you come up with weird unusual chuuni names and designs that are way out there, you can easily prove a copycat and sue them

Your post is very confusing, can you form a coherent thought before making a thread please?
I'd love to argue with you about this but I'm not sure if you want zeus as a cute girl or just zeus to be your streamer.

also there are other companies than hololive and also indies.

>> No.9490820

>>9490103
>cute girl zeus or just zeus
Either is fine, I simply used girl Zeus as an example.
I don't see how the post is confusing. I'm saying that I'd prefer existing deities as hololive characters instead of donut steel OCs and "we have Chronos at home". I'm also saying that choosing to imitate the more recognizable deities would've garnered more attention.
OCs are fine, too, and this approach is an interesting alternative.
I'm also pointing out that it doesn't matter that much, either way, most of the audience just wants to look at cute girls.
Was what I wrote in the OP really disjointed?

>> No.9490983

Listen mate, the lore is like the last thing on the list of priorities for a streamer.
Pekora is just a god damn rabbit and she is the most popular JP holo. Nobody tunes in for the lore. As Kiara put it when council lore appeared, cool story bro.

the lore makes it easy to justify design, and gives off a lot of starting points for artists, streamer, fans, and possibly future content. it's up to them anyway if they want to maximize it, or just have it dangling off of their streaming personality.

i'd rather have this ease than have another cookie-cutter vtuber with barely anything to jump off from other than their potentially interesting and engaging personality.

It's a pointless thread. The OP even acknowledges it's a pointless thread.

The fuck more do you want then? You're looking for a mythology discussion, not a Vtuber discussion.

er, yeah what >>9489140 said, im pretty sure thats not how it works, having done my copyright and copyleft reps. the concept of zeus AS A CHARACTER cannot be copyrighted because of PD, but your own unique interpretation absolutely can. why do you think disney can use Thor, the god of thunder or whatever?

Pretty sure Pekora is supposed to be a princess or some shit, but yeah no one really cares about the lore they start out with. How they develop tends to become their lore in the long run.
