Original Movies Vs. Copycats. Which were better?

This isn't about remakes. This about a movie that generated a copycat version. Sometimes the original was better and sometimes the copycat was better.
I'll start:
Gumball Rally vs. Cannonball Run
While the Cannonball Run was good film, the Gumball Rally was a much better movie. Raul Julia, as always delivers.
What do you have?

Wyatt Earp was an enjoyable movie to me. But Tombstone was better.

I remember in the 90s there was a volcano one, dantes peak and some other one.

Deep Impact is a better movie than Armageddon, but has a shittier name.

The Prestige and The Illusionist. The Prestige is miles better.

I saw a youtube explaining all this.. Its like there is a pot of scripts that gets hustled through hollywood... And when one studio picks one up, other studios quickly try and write a copycat script and film and release before the other.
that's how you get Olympus has Fallen and White House Down in the same year.

I thought Desperado was better than the original El Mariachi.

It happened a lot in comics too, with X-Men/Doom Patrol, Vision/Red Tornado, Swamp Thing/Man-Thing... You had writers hanging out with each other and reading the same stuff and watching the same movies, coming up with the same characters at almost the exact same time.

There is a movie, a Tim Robbins movie "The Player," which delves into studio mindsets, script and storyline competitions and why movies parallel one another between studios during given periods of time.
There are always going to be different takes, among studios, in the same genre ....
DC Comics vs Marvel
This asteroid strike disaster vs that
This zombie apocalypse vs that zombie apocalypse
That's not the same as remakes but it is the same as copy cats.
Two or three of the most famous examples of remakes are ...
A Star Is Born ... (1937 Janet Gaynor, Frederick March)(1954 Judy Garland, James Mason)(1976 Barbara Streisand, Kris Kristofferson)(2018 Lady GaGa, Bradley Cooper)
An Affair to Remember and Love Affair.
Parallel releases are another thing as previously mentioned with the Wyatt Earp and Tombstone releases.
