Stories are often recycled from other stories, with the setting changed with just enough of a gimmick to make it look different. This is not just an audience reaction; advertising for the newer work will usually play up the connection between the earlier work and the newer gimmick. One of the most common methods of adding a gimmick is to change the setting, which allows the characters to explore the same plots with a slightly different approach, make the story feel more contemporary, or change the genre (moving The Odyssey into space changes it to a Science Fiction story). Other gimmicks include turning the characters into children or animals. The more "gimmicks" you use when recycling, the less of an imitation the work is in the first place. This brings up Tropes Are Tools; just because a newer work is based on a premise invented by an older work doesn't make it bad. After all, the point of the gimmick is to find new stories to tell from the original story. Advertising will describe how the newer work is intended to be an imitation as well as the sort of changes that the newer creator took to differentiate their work from the original. This trope almost never applies to a normal sequel, remake, or adaptation; only when a major change is made to the work that is used to sell the newer work as different from the original. Contrast Better by a Different Name (characters comment on the similarity between works), Follow the Leader (multiple stories imitating the tropes of an earlier story), Recycled In Space (a game where we describe how Work X is basically Work Y, with a twist!) and X Meets Y (a game where we pretend two different works are the inspiration for a third work). Compare with Whole-Plot Reference, which can overlap. For example, The Flintstones is, by Word of God, The Honeymooners recycled in the Stone Age, but is not a Whole-Plot Reference because Fred isn't literally intended to be Ralph Kramden, only to resemble his mannerisms. This trope is a Sub-Trope of Recycled Premise and Spiritual Successor, as well as a Super-Trope to Setting Update and "Die Hard" on an X. |

Romeo × Juliet is a retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet are still Star-Crossed Lovers from Feuding Families, but it's now set in a fantasy world, Juliet is a masked vigilante, and the expanded supporting cast is named for characters from William Shakespeare's other works. | |

The much-maligned episode "Meridian" was, as admitted by producer Ira Steven Behr, Brigadoon in space. Recalling this idea at a later date, Behr admitted: "I am a moron." | |

Japanese Spider-Man, when Spider-Man received various tropes that would eventually be absorbed into Super Sentai (specifically Battle Fever J onwards, as stated later). Spider-Man gets his powers and costume from an ancient alien race and gets a car and a giant robot to go along with them. | |

The Lyrical Nanoha franchise is an oddly gradual version of this. While it started a Magical Girl Warrior spinoff (to Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever), it added more and more mecha elements and Shout Outs over time, culminating in Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force where the characters are military officers using Powered Armor. | |

The novel Inferno (Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle) by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, is a modern-day The Divine Comedy (note how it shares a title with the latter's third book). It has a Dead to Begin With, sci-fi Genre Savvy protagonist instead of Dante who tries (unsuccessfully) to explain Hell as Lost Technology or an "Infernoland" created by aliens. His guide isn't Virgil, but Benito Mussolini. Additions to the original include a Hellish version of a Celestial Bureaucracy in which damned souls as well as demons work, new torments for both extreme environmentalists and wanton environment-destroyers, and the theologically questionable revelation that anyone can escape Hell through redemption and sincere effort. | |

There's a comic book adaptation of Moby-Dick in space. The whalers are asteroid miners, the giant squid is a white star named Kraken, Moby Dick is a (possibly sentient?) comet, and the final harpoon is a 10-megaton warhead. | |

Star Fox Adventures became The Legend of Zelda IN SPACE! (it even has a similar you-just-solved-a-puzzle music) when Nintendo replaced the setting with Star Fox characters and also made it a game that didn't please the fans of the series at all. Before that, it was more like Zelda WITH FURRIES!, something Rare has done quite a few times with more success (Super Mario 64 -> Banjo-Kazooie, Mario Kart 64 -> Diddy Kong Racing, not to mention the older Donkey Kong Country games). | |

Red Dwarf was originally pitched by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor to The BBC as Steptoe and Son if it were set in space (as well as being on acid). This is most notable in the general hopelessness of the situation that both sets of characters are in, as well as the bickering relationship between Rimmer and Lister, which is very similar to that of Harold and Albert. They've also compared it to Porridge in space, in that there is something literally preventing the characters leaving, while the only thing trapping the Steptoes is themselves. | |

Team America: World Police are the Thunderbirds from Eagleland!

The Lion King transplants a number of William Shakespeare tales to the African savanna and retells them with a cast of talking animals. The Lion King is heavily inspired by Hamlet. Both stories star a princeling (Simba/Hamlet) who returns to his nation after the death of his father (Mufasa/Hamlet Sr.) whose ghost he is haunted by; in the meantime the throne has been taken by an Evil Uncle (Claudius/Scar). Both stories also have a comedic Those Two Guys duo (Timon and Pumbaa/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). The Lion King ends on a much happier note, however. The Lion King II: Simba's Pride was heavily influenced by Romeo and Juliet, as it has Simba's daughter Kiara have a forbidden romance with the scion of a banished lion tribe, Kovu. The Lion King 1 ½ is unabashedly based on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, as it is based around the points of view of the Those Two Guys duo and features much banter between them. |

BattleTech, the Trope Codifier for the Western Mecha genre, is essentially medieval Europe with Humongous Mecha-piloting knights in space. Despite two of the Great Houses being mostly Asian. The Star League is the Roman Empire, the Successor States are the assorted kingdoms of Western Europe (the Federated Commonwealth may qualify as the HRE), CommStar has influence similar to the Roman Catholic Church, and the Clans are the Hordes from the East. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: The episode "Balance of Terror" is the 1957 WWII submarine movie The Enemy Below IN SPACE! Even the bearing of the unidentified initial contact and the captain's maneuvering orders to the helm are copied nearly verbatim. The Romulan ship is cramped and has lots of piping and conduits in all background scenes. The Enterprise's phasers act like depth charges, and at one point the Enterprise and the Romulan ship both go to silent running, fearing to talk loudly lest the other vessel hear them. The Romulans in this episode were The Roman Empire IN SPACE!, as exemplified by Mark Lenard's dignified Centurion character. They didn't stay that way, though. Compare the Romulans in the Star Trek reboot movie. The episode "Elaan of Troyius" is The Taming of the Shrew IN SPACE! There are also some allusion to the The Trojan War, inverted. The Arranged Marriage of princess Elaan from planet Elas with the ruler of planet Troyius is supposed to stop a war between their respective world. |

The Foundation Trilogy: Isaac Asimov was open about his efforts to write a Science Fiction saga that was effectively The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire IN SPACE! Trantor is the capital of Rome, and the primary perspective is from a planet at the outer edges of the empire, watching as they grow to supplant Trantor as the capital of a galactic empire. Several aspects of the collapse are recycled to fit the new setting, such as the Byzantine Empire (Cleon II is Justinian I and Bel Riose is Bellisarius) and the sacking of Rome (Trantor's City Planet is torn apart and the capital is moved to Neotrantor). | |

Marvel 2099 recycles familiar Marvel Comics characters like Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, X-Men stories, in a cyberpunk future. This is especially the case with Punisher 2099, as there is little to distinguish Jake Gallows from Frank Castle aside from the setting, whereas most of the Legacy Characters at least had unique origins to set them apart from their modern-day namesakes. | |

Starslip is an art museum strip in space, and its characters know it. They drink "space grog," try not to get "behind space-schedule," and shout "GOOD SPACE HEAVENS!" when surprised. | |
