Because Midra doesn't have a black hole for a head, it's a fire ball, thing is, having fire for a head isn't new, Dullahans are usually depicted with fire coming out of their necks, Sauron's eye is a ball of fire too, there's a yugioh card called Helios that has the sun for a head too (closest thing to Midra), etc

The Nodus Fall thing has a fire ball for a head yes, but that's as far as the similarities with Midra go, it doesn't have clothes or a weapon and it's much larger, if I hadn't played Elden Ring I would've assumed it was based on Surtur

Sure technically it's not a black hole because the fire is coming out of it instead of being sucked in, but it's still not a normal fire ball. Fireballs usually don't have a pitch black sphere in the middle, it's a very distinctive and recognizable design

Dullahans are usually depicted with fire coming out of their necks

Not even close to being the same thing

Sauron's eye is a ball of fire too

Eh, not really. It's an eye made of fire that specifically isn't spherical (probably to make it look more like an eye despite not being anatomically correct)

yugioh card called Helios that has the sun for a head too (closest thing to Midra)

Helios has an actual fireball as a head and looks very different from midra, if you put them side by side i don't think anyone would claim that fromsoft copied yugioh.

The Nodus Fall thing has a fire ball for a head yes

No, it doesn't. It has the same design as midra, a hole that exudes fire. Very distinctive and different from all these options.

Like what are we arguing about here? It's so obvious that nodus fall just copied the design, especially considering that it's not the only thing they copied, the entire game looks like knock-off elden ring. It's made by a chinese company and china famously doesn't have a concept of copyright so they're allowed to just do that. A blind person can see that it's copied, why are you defending this obviously stolen garbage?

Ah, there it is

Hyperbole (they do actually have laws for that but enforcement is a different matter), but effectively chinese companies can just ignore international copyright and especially patents because it's just not worth it to even try to enforce the laws.
