In fairness, it HAS been setting up some fourth wall-breaking multiverse shenanigans.

At least with Vader.When Sora sees Luke or Vader's Lightsaber is he going to point out the similarities at Xemnas' weapons?
The only time we could get Pete as a party member.With Mickey & Pete entering public domain next year, someone could totally make a KH inspired indie game with redesigned fairy tale characters.
Better idea: Kingdom Hearts with cartoon characters from all over the public domainWith Mickey & Pete entering public domain next year, someone could totally make a KH inspired indie game with redesigned fairy tale characters.
That's basically Kingdom Hearts minus a couple of worlds and Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.Better idea: Kingdom Hearts with cartoon characters from all over the public domain
Yeah but you could also add characters like Popeye or Felix the CatThat's basically Kingdom Hearts minus a couple of worlds and Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.
Quick research says Popeye's still under Copyright in the US even if he's PD elsewhere in the world. Felix seems to have a few hang-ups due to Dreamworks trademarks from 2007:Yeah but you could also add characters like Popeye or Felix the Cat
In thhat case, I guess I should fully expect Disney to make things difficult with Mickey as well.It's confusing - his very early cartoons are public domain, his first appearance is public domain which means the character is public domain BUT he is still trademark protected by Dreamworks in 2007. You can take the character and make your own based on his earlier works but you can't call him Felix on the cover, you can't use the trademarked name as a selling point basically. You might be able to get away with calling him Phelix lol but when it comes to trademark in the US at least it currently trumps public domain.
Um, what?If the Disney canon matched Kingdom Hearts: Alice would have never escaped Wonderland, Dumbo and Bambi would be dead, and any property that didn’t make Disney money for puke no longer exist
I suppose you could similar things about any other dark reimagining of fairy tale characters, like Fables/Wolf Among Us.The mobile game SINoALICE is basically Kingdom Hearts but if it was written by Yoko Taro.
