This \\\'\\\'might\\\'\\\' be the right place to ask, but in retrospect... I\\\'m now curious why the MythologyGag trope is being used for the pattern wherein \\\"A character in \\\'\\\'Genshin Impact\\\'\\\' looks very much like, or has several similarities to a specific character from Creator/MiHoYo\\\'s other game, \\\'\\\'VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd\\\'\\\', sometimes complete with [=miHoYo=] intentionally hiring the [[CastingGag same Chinese and Japanese voice actors]] to supplement these similarities.\\\"
Note that this trend has been observed, listed, and documented by fans of both games even in other sources aside from this TV Tropes wiki ever since \\\'\\\'Genshin\\\'\\\' was still new, it\\\'s just that there might be a better trope for this. Is it really MythologyGag? Or would they all fit better under {{Expy}} and be moved to that trope instead?
I admit that I might\\\'ve contributed to using MythologyGag in listing some of the earliest examples of this trend when the \\\'\\\'Genshin\\\'\\\' pages on this site were still new, but now I think that it\\\'s probably not the perfect trope anymore after doing some observations. I\\\'d like to ask for others\\\' inputs before attempting to make massive changes or updates... especially because some of these characters already have both the MythologyGag and {{Expy}} tropes in their folders, which IMO, seem redundant.
[[folder:List of Character-specific Mythology Gag examples that might be affected]]
* For example (and for easy access to their pages), the \\\'\\\'GI\\\'\\\' characters who fit this exact pattern (look-alike or similar appearance, several other similarities, and especially the same voice actors) are:
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactCelestia The Unknown God]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdKianaKaslana Kiana Kaslana]], voiced by Dian Tao (Chinese), Rie Kugimiya (Japanese) - As a matter of fact, the page\\\'s edit history had the MythologyGag example about this being deleted because another troper said it\\\'s a misuse of the MG trope
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactInazuma Yae Miko]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdOtherNPCAndHistorical Yae Sakura]], voiced by Du Mingya (Chinese), Ayane Sakura (Japanese) - Mythology Gag and Expy tropes are both already listed
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactRaidenShogun Raiden Ei]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdRaidenMei Raiden Mei]], voiced by Juhuahua (Chinese), Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese) - Mythology Gag and Expy tropes are both already listed
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactSumeru Nahida]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdStFreyaAcademy Theresa Apocalypse]], voiced by Hua Ling (Chinese), Yukari Tamura (Japanese)
* The \\\'\\\'GI\\\'\\\' characters who fit a portion of this pattern (look-alike or similar appearance, several other similarities, but not having both of the same [=VAs=] in JP and CN, or the [=VAs=] are not yet announced) are the following. Unlike the above examples who also have similar voice actors in both JP and CN to dispel doubts, these below need knowledge of both games to understand how or why they are expies.
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactArchons Murata]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdStFreyaAcademy Murata Himeko]]
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactHilichurls Unusual Hilichurl]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdOtherNPCAndHistorical Dawei]] - Mythology Gag and Expy tropes are both already listed, though the one about the HOMU Doll is a definite MG example
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactMondstadt Diluc]] being compared to Murata Himeko
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactMondstadt Venti]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdHonkaiBeastsAndHerrschers Wendy]] - Mythology Gag and Expy tropes are both already listed
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactSumeru Alhaitham]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdFireMOTH Su]], voiced by Yang Chaoran (Chinese)
** [[Characters/GenshinImpactTheKnightsOfFavonius Noelle]] being compared to [[Characters/HonkaiImpact3rdSchicksal Rita Roseweisse]]

The other reason why I\\\'m bringing this up because other \\\'\\\'GI\\\'\\\' pages on this site, such as the main Video Game, WMG, YMMV, Fan Nickname, and Trivia pages use {{Expy}} instead of MythologyGag when talking about this trend.
