#QuestionOfTheDay: What's the middle child of a franchise/series that you like? By middle child I mean like not the ones people love and remember but not the black sheeps either that are cult classics or make "underrated" lists. Like the ones that get forgotten and get no discourse.

#QuestionOfTheDay who are your top 5 favorite animal/creature companions in fiction?

Bonus if you give why

#QuestionOfTheDay for no particular reason, make up a fake group chat that you'd want to be accidentally added to.

(examples: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a work that you think is underrated/overlooked because of when it came out? (for example, it came out right between 2 major releases and got overlooked, or right after or right before the much more successful thing that redefined the genre it is in, or it came out when the genre/topic/style was out of fashion or it came out before the genre/topic/style got hot, etc)

Could George Lucas make Star Wars if he started today?

I love weird ranked lists, whether it's the BAFTA list of the "most iconic video game characters of all time" (https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/lara-croft-crowned-most-iconic-video-games-character-of-all-time-according-to-bafta-poll) that had Sackboy 5 ahead of Pikachu and Pac-Man, and the guy from RDR2 and 2 characters from the just released Baldur's Gate 3 on it, or the IGN list (https://www.ign.com/articles/the-best-100-video-games-of-all-time) that was heavily Nintendo at the top and had FF7 at 97 and it was clear that the people making the list didn't really play sports games or JRPGs because there were so few

So the #QuestionOfTheDay is what's a memorable weird/terrible top X list (from any topic) that you remember and want to share? What's weird/terrible about the choices?

What’s a '90s or 2000s trend that you’re embarrassed to admit you participated in?

#QuestionOfTheDay what's your comfort media thing when you're stressed or scared or need distraction? Like a show or episode of a show or book or chapter of a book or movie, music, game, comic, anime, manga, YouTube video, whatever

#QuestionOfTheNight if you could own one fictional vehicle that could fit in a 2 car garage, what would it be? assume that powering it is somehow not a problem, and there's no issues with legality

#QuestionOfTheDay what's an objectively bad/mid work of media that has a banger piece of music it absolutely does not deserve?

Share the music.

(This can include commercials that have a great song/theme too if you want)

#QuestionOfTheDay what is the worst adaptation of something you like/care about? (any adaptation from one medium to another counts, so it can be video game to anime, comic to movie, movie to video game, board games, books, myths, poems, theatre, etc, anything counts as long as it went from one medium to another)

bonus points for explaining why it was a bad adaptation

#QuestionOfTheDay what's your favorite derivative scenario that you love seeing show up in fiction?

What I mean by derivative scenario is one where the main characters are in a scenario derived from a popular source, like common ones are The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven scenario where the main characters have to defend a village from attackers, usually by recruiting others and teaching the villagers to fight with them; or The Twelve Angry Men scenario where one of the heroes is recruited to a jury where they're the only one who knows the truth and has to convince everybody else; or the Die Hard scenario where one of the heroes is stuck in a terrorist situation in an isolated place and has to fight the terrorists and stop their plot on their own, etc

#Retro #Book #QuestionOfTheDay show me your favorite old school fantasy or sci fi book cover.

As a bonus, tell me what you like about it or what memory/experience it's tied to if it is!

I need distraction and enrichment. So time for a #QuestionOfTheDay

(feel free to go into details or spoilers, just mark them for others who might care)

Two part #QuestionOfTheDay

1) what is something that you think is overrated due to coming out during a period of low/no competition

2) what is something that you think is underrated due to coming out during a period of high competition/marketplace saturation?

(something can refer to a product, music, a piece of fiction or other work, it can be a franchise or series, it can even be software or a celebrity/athlete/band if you want, I couldn't think of a good all encompassing noun, but feel free to talk about whatever you think fits)

Two part #QuestionOfTheDay: what's a twist in fiction you saw coming and what's one you didn't?

Was it good writing that you saw the twist coming or bad writing?

Was it good writing that you didn't see it coming or bad writing?

Feel free to include detailed spoilers if you want, just put them behind a cut or something, but I don't mind spoilers myself.
