How does everyone feel about them using so many lesser-known characters?

A lot of people in the Youtube comments seemed to not know Bill and Ted or Lewis and Clark very well, I'm certain a majority of people don't know who Shaka is. I'm sure many people have heard of Confucious and Socrates and all of them, but most people don't know a whole lot about them I'd think.

I'm cool with it, knowing who they are ahead of time thanks to the wiki lets me enjoy the battle to the fullest extent, but is it good for them from a "business" angel? Youtube fans might see "Shaka Zulu vs Caesar" or "Western Philosophy vs Easterm Philosophy" and think "I don't really know them, I'm going to not watch that."

I mean, it's been over a week and Bill and Ted vs Lewis and Clark only has 4 mil. Pete has said in the past that they aim for 8 mil after a week.

Thoughts?
