I think it's a good idea. Why?
While I was in a book store I saw an interesting cover in the philosophy section titled simple "Superheroes and Philosophy", and it took famous superheroes and looked at their actions through a philosophical lens. There was also a villains edition too, which was actually more interesting to skim. This got me interested in taking a philosophy class and, wouldn't you know it, I enjoyed it... at least outside of writing. ^^;
Humans have a unique tendency to not listen to anything we find boring unless it interests us. I assume that everyone here at theOtaku like anime, manga, or anything geeky/nerdy, so to hear that things that are in popular or subcultures making one think of philosophical or even ethical questions is a nice way to ease people into these fields. Granted, for every GLADoS you have you must also have your fair share of Hamlets as well. "Make whatever you're selling appealing to the consumer."

@DemonKingAtticus:
But Hamlet is also awesome, so it's all good.
