Netflix’s ‘Black Knight’ Is Being Accused of Plagiarism


Some people say that the Korean show Black Knight on Netflix is a copy of the video game Death Stranding. The streaming service quickly denied the claims and said that the show was based on a webtoon.

“Black Knight is based on the 2016 webcomic by Lee Yoon Kyun with the same name.”

The actor Kim Woo Bin stars in the show, which is about a group of delivery men who risk everything to bring oxygen in a post-apocalyptic world where breathing air is hard to come by. The show’s main character finds out about a plot that could change everything for them.

The main character in Death Stranding makes deliveries in a version of America that is also dealing with the fallout of an apocalypse. Kojima Productions, which Hideo Kojima runs, made the video game.

Some Internet users think the idea of the game and the show are too similar. However, since the webtoon came out three years before the game, the accusations of plagiarism are likely to go away.
