Netflix’s latest original sci-fi series 1899 received widespread critical acclaim. After successfully closing the German sci-fi series, Darkcreators Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese came up with the highly anticipated multilingual series, 1899. But apparently this series has already received a serious accusation from Brazilian comic book creator Mary Cagnin, who claims that Netflix plagiarized all of her work to create their new show.
1899 copies Silence noir?
Mary Cagnin created the science fiction comic black silence and now she’s taken to Twitter to show off some identical images from her comic and 1899. Here, take a look at the black pyramid common to both properties:
ESTOU EM SHOCKED.
O dia que descobri qu’a serie 1899 é simply IDÊNTICO ao meu quadrinho Black Silence, published in 2016.

Cagnin also shared some additional images and story details that apparently reflect in 1899:

Next, Cagnin then revealed the story behind his comic black silence, and how it broke her heart to see her work picked up without mentioning her at all. She tweeted:
“[Translated it in English] I cried a lot. My dream has always been to be recognized for my work nationally and internationally. And seeing such a thing happen really breaks my heart. We know that in Brazil we have few opportunities to show our work and be recognized for it.
I had the opportunity that many comic artists never had: to be able to show my work to an international audience. People. I gave lectures. Talked about the plot. I introduced him to influential people in the area. The matter is serious. »
While the black silence creator fights to be recognized, the 1899 co-creator denies all of his accusations.

Netflix and Baran Bo Odar defend themselves
Baran Bo Odar took to Instagram and shared an image of what a Netflix executive had to say about the ‘plagiarism’ accusations:
I wanted to stay quiet, but seeing the creators themselves receive hurtful messages, which were basically intimidating them into saying something, is taking it too far. They are two incredibly talented people and they put so much effort into creating their own ORIGINAL stories. It makes me extremely angry and sad to see so many people attending Mass, not knowing what they are talking about. 1899 is a special project that they have been working on for many years and it has nothing to do with comics. But if you saw the show and read the comic, you would know – and we wouldn’t be having these conversations. I will always stick around and stand up for them because I know what they create is always something unique.
Odar also claimed that he and Jantje Friese had no idea who Mary Cagnin was and the comic she created. They contacted Cagnin in the hope that she would withdraw her accusations because the links between 1899 and black silence are almost non-existent.

Really, the only similarities between these two stories are the presence of Black Pyramids and Outer Space elements. Those who have read the comic and finished 1899 would be able to conclude that the two properties are totally different. So no! 1899 is not a copy of the aforementioned Brazilian comic.
