Behind every cape, catchphrase, and cartoon lies a labyrinth of legal battles that define who owns our most beloved fictional characters. From courtrooms to corporate boardrooms, the fight for character rights shapes not just entertainment, but billion-dollar empires.Dive deep with us into fascinating cases that reveal the high-stakes world of character ownership. The Pokémon Company's swift takedown of a $40 million bootleg mobile game shows how fiercely major franchises protect their roster of creatures. Meanwhile, Star Wars faces unexpected challengers as actors from deleted scenes demand £190 million for their likenesses appearing in new content – potentially changing how studios use archival footage forever.Explore Disney's $10 billion Moana lawsuit, where an animator claims his unpublished screenplay was appropriated for the hit film, raising profound questions about idea ownership in Hollywood. We also examine what happens when copyright protection expires, as Popeye and Tintin enter the public domain only to be immediately reimagined as horror characters and noir detectives.The emotional battles over El Chavo del Ocho characters demonstrate how performers and creators clash when trying to separate the artist from their iconic role. María Antonieta de las Nieves' landmark victory to perform as La Chilindrina independently stands in stark contrast to Spider-Man's tangled web of rights shared between Sony and Disney in an unprecedented co-licensing arrangement. And who knew that Sherlock Holmes showing emotions could trigger copyright infringement claims?These stories reveal a fundamental truth: in our character-driven entertainment landscape, intellectual property isn't just about legal documents – it's about who controls the soul of our collective imagination.

Dr. Drea Letamendi (she/her/ella) is a clinical psychologist, media consultant, and TEDx speaker with degrees and training from Cornell University, UCSD, and UCLA. Dr. Drea is a practitioner-educator based in Los Angeles and holds a Masters and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. At UCLA, she serves as a campus mental health and wellbeing consultant leading resilience, crisis-response, and suicide prevention initiatives. She manages a private practice as a behavioral health advisor for the gaming, visual effects, and entertainment media industries (with clients including Warner Bros., Marvel/Disney, and Lionsgate). By way of social media and podcasting, Dr. Drea uses storytelling in film, television, gaming, and comics to teach audiences about resilience, cultural healing and liberation psychology. She created and hosts The Arkham Sessions, a podcast about the psychology of superheroes and other pop culture narratives.She has written publications about the positive impacts of media storytelling on mental health, and her latest publication is titled, The Force Awakens: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Using Star Wars. In this episode, we explore the world of fictional characters and the connection to psychology and mental health. From superheroes to villains, we uncover how these characters can offer a sense of belonging, a mirror to our own struggles, and a way to process personal trauma. We discuss how storytelling allows us to confront our own experiences and how these characters often reflect the most vulnerable parts of ourselves. We also also touch on why horror stories can bring comfort and a sense of cathartic relief for certain people, and the psychology behind rewatching our favorite comfort shows and movies as a way to ease anxiety. Overall, we share an insightful conversation about the psychological impact of fiction and how connecting with these characters can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. *I am currently accepting new clients virtually in California.
