Oh, damn

I just realized that a backstory for a main character in one of my things was completely taken from The Lion King. Or, I mean, I worked backwards to figure out how to get the guy to a certain place while fitting in certain things, and took some inspiration from Everard's Ride while I was at it, and by convergent evolution I ended up with The Lion King. It doesn't matter how, though, because I still ended up with The Lion King.

Is it better or worse that I realized it after seeing this?
