Not accusing anyone of anything.
With Covid and weak health, I spent just lots of time reading here, on YouTube and other sharing services.
Years ago, I remember Joseph Campbell sayin that there are only a few different stories to tell. Lately I am seeing undeniable confirmation of that. Often I'll be reading a story or watching a movie and I'll remember seeing a scene or hearing a line from somewhere else, especially with things that come from Hollywood.

Me too.
I don't like video storytelling (i.e. movies or TV dramas) but I have had similar experiences with novels.
My father, however, loved movies, but late in his life he told me that he had started watching more films in foreign languages (which he didn't speak) because that way he couldn't figure out what was going on in the movie until he had seen at least half of it. Meaning, therefore, that he could guess the endings of English language movies much earlier than half way through.
I'm not as good at guessing how a book will end, but there are scenes that seem to be repeated from, and echo in my mind from other novels I read years ago. Now if only I could remember just exactly which earlier book that might have been, so I could consider re-reading it.

Re reading David Weber's Books
My favorite is the Honor Harrington series.
