I mean, hell, I can do pretty much the exact same sort of thing for {{Cloverfield}}. Should I? Is it notable? But most tropers are not that familiar with Kaiju films to know that the idea of giant parasitic organisms falling off a Kaiju dates back to 1985, or that parasites with obscenely lethal toxins in their bites can be tracked to the late 70s, or that the idea of the monster as a lost and confused animal goes back to the early 60s.
Frankly, a link to the overarching trope in general, as is the standard format for TV tropes, is all that is really needed.
The clincher is that, aside from John Carter, no reference (IIRC, ignoring John Carter of Mars) predates 1975 (Eco-Friendly sci-fi can be dated back to at least 1972\\\'s \\\"Silent Runnings\\\"). It\\\'s tropers recalling things this movie reminded them of in the most superficial of circumstances.
Sorry for all the edits, I keep finding out more details to damn that entry.

I increasingly continue to doubt it. The only valid one, IMO, is John Carter of Mars (because Cameron admits that is his inspiration). The others are just cases of people being more aware of tropes and common media concepts as well as archetype storytelling.

I\\\'d stretch the historical president ones into this as well, if only because they make the article sound like a college (if we\\\'re lucky) film school paper.
