Could the psychic creature that is not in the movie be ripped off of the film forbidden planet?

By the way how do you do that hidden spoiler that you have to highlight to read?

 

Why are you so worried that things will be "ripped off" one film/book or another?  As long as it's not done in the exact same way, why does it matter?  I don't think a single movie in the past 30 years (maybe even 50) has had an original idea.  Every major blockbuster has taken ideas that came before it, repackaged them, and made them look new and fresh.  Isn't that enough?  From Star Wars to The Matrix, every single movie has borrowed and reborrowed from what came before.

Unless the writers/directors/producers never read or see any other comic or movie, they're going to be influenced by everything that has come before and they're going to include little things here and there that are either blatant ripoffs or nice little homages.  As long as the story is adapted properly, not much else should matter.
