So depending on exactly what "basicly" means it isn't obvious to kirarakim  |
Ah well, yeah, I suppose it depends on what was meant. I would say that all premises have the equal potential to convey an enjoyable story to their intended target audience (i.e. within their scope). But, yeah, the scope of the premise is different. A successful and popular genre piece may never reach the same level of popularity as one with a broader scope that appeals to more people. But for people who want a really good work within a certain style/genre, that particular work can still be a classic, seminal piece.
(Meanwhile, the rather pointless side-debate continues...
You can just redefine "concept" and "execution" to mean whatever you want because the two go hand-in-hand.)
