Robert and Cory didn't want Science Dog in the deal with Amazon so they can make a show or a movie at some point in the future

Copyright laws are so weird, would it be very complicated for Amazon just have the right to say his name but not for a show or a movie? I mean, it's not like it's a problem or anything, i just think it's weird

Kirkman owns the copyright for all of these characters, so it's not exactly that. If you read between the lines, he's basically saying he wants to reserve the right to cash in on Science Dog and some of his other properties (Brit, Wolf-Man, etc) if the show is a success. Selling the development rights to those IPs separately is smart from a business perspective. They handled it well with the Seance Dog bit. The test will be to see how/if they handle Tech Jacket.
