Yeah... I imagine the scenario will play out like this:
Timmy: Look mom! I'm playing as Gangplank! Timmy's Hot Mom: What's a Gangplank, sweet-ums? Timmy: Oh, he's just a pirate with a long beard with a gun. I wanna dress up as him for Halloween! Timmy's Hot Mom: Oh that's great dear. Timmy: GP also flays people alive to carve his mark directly into their bones. Timmy: He also lets the whooole ship hear the screams so they never would think of double crossing him. Timmy's Hot Mom: That's nice dear. Timmy: And his worst enemy is this guy named Graves who smokes wit cigarwettes. Timmy's Hot Mom: ... Timmy's Hot Mom: ... Timmy's Hot Mom: ... Timmy's Hot Mom: WHO IS THE REAL MONSTER?
In strange counterpoint, Part Three presents a completely bloodless shootout that makes the transition to Gangplank's Part Four all the more jarring.

I just don't get what the problem with it is. Was I REALLY the only one with an uncle that would let me hold the light while he carved curse words into a living person's bones and put his cigarette out on their forehead when he finished? I'm starting to get concerned.
Presenting a cigar in cool-factor promotional material could encourage kids to smoke, and is illegal in some places because smoking is a problem there. Torture in non-promo, non visual content isn't likely to encourage kids to start carving people's bones out. There's perfectly good reasons for opting not to have a cigar on his splash, It's a stupid thing to make a fuss about.
