    I have always wondered what the writers were thinking with it, but I hadn’t voiced my opinion on it till now. Next thing you know will probably get a “King Mao” or “King Stalin”.

    Sorry, but that goes too far. Saying this you make it sound like the writers choose the name with the intent to honor King Leopold II of Belgium and his crimes against humanity even. Is that what you are thinking? Now I doubt they were really aware of it, think that they were simply not thoughtful enough to see that naming a king Leopold could be taken as a reference to a brutal ruler. They made a mistake, the naming is, looking at history, insensitive, alright. But we should leave at at that and not start offending the writers.
