I don't see what makes these movies Tarantino rip offs? So if a movie is a crime drama, with R rated level violence and profanity, that automatically means you are rippiing off Tarantino, because only Tarantino is allowed to tackle that kind of movie??

Man, I don't know. I always considered Tarantino's signature style being that he makes over the top modern homages to defunct genres (noire, spaghetti westerns, ww2, Kung Fu, etc.), which is necessarily unoriginal. People are listing movies that came out the same year or before Pulp Fiction, so I'm pretty sure they're just crediting Tarantino for every over the top movie in the 90s.

I didn’t realize noir, westerns, WWII, and martial arts were subject no longer tackled in any movie ever.

They're no longer common. I didn't say they never happen. At one time each of those were the most popular genres.

You said defunct, a word which means no longer existing. So, yes, you did say they never happen.

Yeah, agreed. Like by that logic, tarantino is a rip off of Scorsese and DePalma.
