What Star Trek got wrong about the future-past is that The Temporal Wars will most definitely be started by Disney using time travel to place legal defendents in impossible to defend IP copyright infringement circumstances.

Oh, honey, we missed the Bell Riots. We're in the Mirror Universe. Haven't you noticed all the bearded and crop top wearing bisexuals?

I had dismissed it as just another corrupting influence of anime, oh no!

It kind of made sense how everyone was getting sexier, but the rising villainry didn't fit...

~~I'm trying to even remember when Nintendo sued someone who might actually be able to defend themselves in court and not just regular people and small, independent developers since they lost against Galoob over the GameGenie.~~

Why the fuck am I thinking about Nintendo? lol

Mickey Mouse (trademarked character) isn’t in the public domain. Steamboat Willie (film/story) is.

Including the version of Mickey in that particular film.
