Wakanda forever emote?

[Bullhammer]

I had a thought.... I'm sure most of us are nerds and love comics... And with the passing of Chadwick and everything he did... Would it be a good idea to make a "Wakanda forever" emote and some of the proceeds if not all should go to cancer research or something he promoted? What say you?

[Leareaux]

This would be pretty cool.

Or just go ahead and support a charity in his name anyway since SE hasn't done ingame tributes for real life incidents or deaths so I don't see them starting now.

[DPZ2]

Yeah, the charity would be best. I doubt Marvel would ever let their Intellectual Property go freely into a video game.

[MPK]

No. This is Eorzea.

[Kukajoo]

No thanks, Chadwick is a person not a character.

I can already see Disney ready with a sue just for existence of this thread

Change it to Eorzea forever, but use the same gesture and problem solved with legal. You can't trademark or own hand gestures.

EDIT: We already have DBZ powerup emotes, etc. Might as well add something like this as well into the Mog Station.

[DPZ2]

ou can't trademark or own hand gestures.

You may want to check what, exactly, is covered by the 'Wakanda' trademark before you give legal advice. It can get quite detailed, and video games are mentioned in the precis.

I would agree here. I don't recall much that the company did when the actress who originally played Yugiri passed, so unlikely that an outside actor passing would garner much of a response from the game's developers. Not to mention the licensing issues trying to get Disney to let Square use that in perpetuity. And as aggressive as they are in their copyright claims, even the suggestion of making it the same emote but "Eorzea Forever" is so close to the actual trademark that it would also garner copyright infringement lawsuits if it were officially added into the game.
