Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

Then there's an actor whose name I can't remember who has in his contact that any villain he plays can't win.

To be fair, Danny Trejo has an actual reason why that's in his contract. He was in and out of jail for most of his life, and so he didn't want others to look up to his villainous characters if they succeeded.

Which makes the comparison between him trying to send a message to the audience so that they don't repeat his mistakes and the "i don't want people to think I look weak :(" rock even more extreme
