I kind of agree and I definitely waffled on it myself. Titanic was based on a bunch of different things (including a real event, obviously) so you could make the argument that it isn't entirely original.
That's a whole other conversation about originality, I guess. If Top Gun 2 has an original story, is that any less original than Titanic? It's based off something and has some pretty strong connections to that thing, but it is it's own story.
Either way, adding or removing a few films doesn't change things much. People get hyped on things they're familiar with and enjoy. That's not strange.
