The Trivia section states that Bug was considered for the movie but left out because Marvel doesn\'t own the rights to the character. I wonder if the user who posted this assumes that this is because Bug started as one of the Micronauts. If so, it\'s incorrect. Characters like Acroyear, Biotron, and Baron Karza are restricted from use by Marvel for those reasons. But Bug, like Commander Rann and Mari are up for grabs and according to WordOfGod, they just felt there would be too many characters. BTW, Bug, like Rocket Raccoon, was also created by Bill Mantlo.

If we leave it as \\\"a bad thing happened and thus any joke ever made that shares a vague association with that thing in my subjective opinion is officially unfunny forever\\\", the article\\\'s going to continue to suck.

No, I completely agree. Even for a YMMV, this article is a minefield of smug subjectivity. The Simpsons subarticle is especially egregious and way too long; there\'s one reference to 9/11 and the rest is repetitive snark about the bad old days when people didn\'t know that being less-than-serious about racism, gay rights, gun violence, bullying, or George W. Bush\'s presidency was an evil thing to do. You can practically hear the axe on the stone.

Worse yet, almost none of the jokes have more than a tangential relationship to the specific tragedy they\\\'re being associated with.
