Don’t Let This Happen If You Create A Really Cool Character

If you create a really cool character, please don’t let this happen:

I know money may be a big issue, if not for you then perhaps for someone else involved in the project of which your really cool character is a part. You might even not be the decision maker anymore. I know this. I know there is only so much control one can maintain, whether through copyright law, contract law, or what have you. I understand this…but still. Please don’t let this happen.

I think everyone else is probably already aware of this commercial. I think it was shown during the superbowl, but I don’t watch much tv…if any. I just came across it. However, that doesn’t change my point.

Just don’t let this happen. Please.

Frankly, if there is any good reason for letting this happen, it might be that the two sequels to The Matrix already did such damage to the original creation that putting Morpheus in a Kia commercial just doesn’t matter anymore. Presuming you didn’t do something to your creation like The Matrix sequels though, please don’t let something like this happen to any cool character you create.
