I disagree with your last sentence. The new setting has to add something, otherwise the whole thing is derivative. Something new must be added or else it is just smoke and mirrors fooling people into seeing the same movie 2-100 times. I think this was evident in the Avatar thread. Dances with Wolves on Pandora.
