They can choose to be as lenient or difficult as they'd like. While they can have more leverage if the franchise is large, it's not always the case, and a more obscure license doesn't necessarily mean an easier one. For instance, to make Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for North America, Capcom obtained all of the Tatsunoko video game rights, including Yatterman and Gatchaman, which are usually pretty difficult (as they are popular in Japan, and in the case of Gatchaman, helped define the American '90s action cartoon landscape as G-Force)--except for Bob in the Bottle, as the European rights holders, while not using it at all, held steadfast and refused to allow Capcom to use characters from the show for any reason. Inversely, as you have already seen in The Pinball Arcade, Monster Bash showed up with no problem at all, even though it contains six of Universal Studios's iconic horror movie characters. If it weren't on here already, I would have chalked it up as beyond Farsight's reach, but there it is.On top of all the deal with Raul Julia, MGM is working on an Addams Family movie. This means it fully intends to rebuild the franchise, and there's a good chance MGM will demand more out of Farsight than can be reasonably given.</blockquote>
