I’ve been researching this issue for about 4 months now, apparently cartoons like; southpark, family guy, MAD and Rick and Morty use copyrighted Characters from other media. Did they ask for permission or is it made by the same company? No, the answer I got was parody. Manly because people like it when they have their characters put into parodies while they discuss and scream while the Character is on screen. Parody is obviously a creative something that is usually criticized or made fun of. (It’s for opinions though.)

It all started when I was researching transformers stuff, and I stumbled across who is soundwave’s wife? (Soundwave is my favorite decepticon) and it was a family guy thing, and I was like; Soundwave dose not have a wife, what is he doing in family guy even though he is a copyrighted Character? Well me, the answer is parody because do you know how much fun hasbro had while watching their character mate on a human being? Yes! Lots of fun laughing historically at the television, while drinking soda with their fellow employees. (I’m kidding, they never did it on purpose)

Now, I’m not a big fan of parody at all to be honest. But I was researching copyright and trademark since yesterday and today because I always wanted my character in a transformers comic. because yes I’m a transformers fan, and I’m a fan of the characters so if I’m not allowed to ad those certain characters to my story even though they are trademarks to hasbro, What do I do? I know fan-fictions fan-inserts fan-characters and fan-art is okay, but still.
