If you write stories, you're bound to find yourself caught in that rut where you realize, "Oh my god, this sounds just like [insert other media]". We've all been there, so my question was this: What similarities does your story share with other published stories? (i.e. Not someone else's WIP, but a book, movie, TV show, comic, podcast, etc.)
And, of course, how are you handling it?

I'm personally struggling with my main character's backstory/origin having inadvertently mirrored Star Lord's (from Marvel) in some ways, and am trying to keep the climax of his character arc from following suit.
There are other similarities throughout my WIPs, of course, but that's the one I'm mostly concerned with at the mo'.
Now tell me about yours!
