I haven't seen She-Ra and the Princesses of Power which that page talks about. But the page also mentions Thor & Loki.. now, this isn't related to what that page talks about, but it made me notice the similarities between the characters Thor/Loki/Hela (from the movies) and Caramon/Raistlin/Kitiara (from the DragonLance books).
I'm not the first to notice it; the Wikipedia page on Raistlin even mentions it:
Hellers calls the twin brothers Caramon and Raistlin the series's most compelling characters: "Caramon is a large, powerful, goodhearted, slightly childlike warrior; Raistlin is a sickly, complicated, mysterious, morally iffy magician. The dynamic feels like it's lifted straight from Thor and Loki, and that archetypal resonance is what Weis and Hickman are obviously shooting for. And almost entirely hit."
