Wow. Talk about a politically charged development.

At any rate, killing off Optimus Prime was also a "change" toward "grey areas" -- the grey area of the company going under, and all the artists finding a new job.

I stopped watching Saturday morning cartoons, long ago, simply because they had become so "politically correct". Really, really liberal. Couldn't show dozens of Bugs Bunny cartoons because they were racially provocative, Tom and Jerry were too violent, Daffy was always getting shot by Elmer.

Sounds like Marvel is headed the same direction. So long and fair seas; it was nice knowing ya.

edit -- Sparticus was one of the Spartans that fought at Thermopylae. Either that or he was a Roman slave that led a revolt toward southern Italy. One of the two. Greece, Italy, Sicily. They're all the same. Olives and marble columns everywhere you look.
