The irony is, if Adult Swim didn’t try to insist on their having 100% creative control over Charlie The Unicorn when it was pitched to Adult Swim, Charlie would BE in Multiversus.
I really hope the editor who okayed this was fired. It was probably some young well intentioned guy who was just a big fan of Charlie The Unicorn and thought it’d be neat to see them in the game, but had no understanding of how copyright works. I don’t blame him, he was probably new and naive, but there should have been a supervisor or someone in legal to stop and ask “Wait, do we own that?”
