Before I even thought of those stories I was drawing parallels to (probably hundreds) of anime shows where teenage kids are chosen to pilot huge mechs. This is a bit different, seeing as they don't physically pilot the Warframe and the 'frames are not gigantic, but the similarity still struck me.

That being said, it didn't bother me one bit. As another reply said, it's a bit unreasonable to expect everything to be an original idea these days. Avatar and Ender's Game drew many concepts from previous works, too. I think they were better off using an existing concept and giving it their own personal touch, rather than trying to do something super outlandish just in a desperate attempt to be 'completely original'.

I'm not going to say that this new development in the plot impressed me a great deal, but it *did* surprise me a bit, and what I absolutely loved was their execution of it in the quest. When the Warframe first has to carry the Tenno to safety, it was this wonderful moment of sudden vulnerability that really added something fresh to the experience.
