Other Random question of the day

No answers yesterday. What a shame. Not sure if I asked this one before, but...

Random question of the day:

Who's the most iconic movie bully (In your opinion)?

 

[Onmyoji]

Have you ever looked forward to going on a trip only for it to be cancelled? If so, did you still get to go on the trip later on?

When I was studying abroad, I was supposed to go home for winter holidays. But I couldn't go in the end because there was too much snow and flights got canceled. So I ended up spending holidays alone at the uni campus. I went home eventually but not during those holidays.

Who's the most iconic movie bully (In your opinion)?

Jabba the Hutt in the old Star Wars movies. I mean, he was literally bullying Han Solo and Leia in episodes 5-6.

 

[DarkKitsune]

Even though she made a minor appearance in the first book. Nancy bobofit from Percy Jackson and the lighting thief.

Random question of the day:

What's the scariest/most tense scene you've ever seen in a movie/TV show/video game?

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

No answers yesterday. What a shame.

Random question of the day:

Are Disney Princesses and Disney Princes good role models for girls and boys alike?

 

[1Lucker]

Not really. They always get into situations where they make terrible choices, especially in the earlier movies.

 

[Idea]

They can be. It’s just a question of focusing on the point and intent being conveyed, making the distinction between the message and what part of the behavior is to be looked up to and what is fairy tale dressing.

Random question of the day:

Who's your favorite movie/TV show/video game villain?

 

[MxKit]

Hi it's me, your local Villain Fan, 1000% unable to pick a favorite because I have so many I love.

I guess a shortlist of main favorites would be, uh...

Spoiler: Way too long of a list. I warned you.

• Lance from Balan Wonderworld
• Micolash from Bloodborne
• The Riddler from DC Comics
• Maxwell from Don't Starve
• Gangryn from Dragon Flyz
• Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls
• Skeletor from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)
• Tri-Klops from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)
• Hades from (Disney's) Hercules
• Malone from Highlander: The Animated Series
• Doctor Octopus from both Marvel Comics and The Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon
• Ghost from Marvel Comics
• Mysterio from both Marvel Comics and The Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon
• Gali from Monster Farm
• Naga from Monster Farm
• Scarab from Mummies Alive!
• Jackle the Mantle from NiGHTS into dreams...
• Reala from NiGHTS into dreams...
• Doctor Facilier from The Princess and the Frog
• The Wolf from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
• Homunculus from Shadow of Destiny
• Tinkerer from The Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon
• Toffee from Star vs. the Forces of Evil
• Shockwave from both Transformers Bayverse and Transformers Prime
• Knock Out from Transformers Prime
• Starscream from Transformers Prime
• Fracture from Transformers: Robots in Disguise
• Vertebreak from Transformers: Robots in Disguise
• Andrei from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
• Stanley Gimble from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
• Sebastian LaCroix from Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

I think maybe my favorite villain I sympathize with most is probably Maxwell, Starscream, or LaCroix; my favorite villain who was purposefully written as more of an antagonist who turns out to not be villainous is The Wolf; my favorite purposefully sympathetic villain is Malone...

But oddly enough, maybe my favorite villain who was actually meant to be a villain who I don't sympathize with at all and I think was super well done and enjoyable to have on-screen is actually Eddie Fiori from Kindred: The Embraced. Really not the best TV show, it only ever got eight episodes and one of them never even aired on TV (and that was the correct decision, tbh; it's a very bad episode), but what it got right it got really right and enjoyable, and "The Rise and Fall of Eddie Fiori" was a legitimately great episode.

Claude *clap* Frollo *clap*

He's just so evil and I want to fight him and his songs are so good and little Jewish me cried while watching it for the first time because little Jewish me had just read about some of the shitfuckery the catholic church threw against the Jews (a seven-year-olds guide to antisemitic persecution. nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!). He's creepy, he's self righteous, he thinks he is a good guy (unlike most Disney villains who are happy to be evil) he's just so human, in his lusts and his hate and his twisted ideals.

and hellfire is SO DAMN GOOD.

Not sure if I asked this one before, but...

Random question of the day:

Who's your favorite movie/TV show/video game villain?

My favorite villain happens to be Don Quixote Doflamingo. He’s a complex character that’s very well written into One Piece specifically introducing him properly into the Dressrosa arc. What makes him terrifying isn’t his devil fruit abilities but his motives.

Following up yesterday's question, who's your favorite movie/TV show/video game hero?

Random question of the day:

Following up yesterday's question, who's your favorite movie/TV show/video game hero?

Luffy for me he has proven to be a good and respectable character as well as bad ass.

 

[MxKit]

Random question of the day:

Would you say that much like celebrities, YouTubers adapt as the media world changes through the years?

 

[Idea]

Honestly, Media personality or otherwise, I think you’d have more trouble finding someone who doesn’t do that than someone who does.

Heck I’d go as far as to argue most people who would tell you they don’t are simply unaware of how they’ve adapted.

 

[Arthurbd]

Random question of the day:

Would you say that much like celebrities, YouTubers adapt as the media world changes through the years?

I'd say they have to adapt significantly more. Their job is directly tied to their fans interest where as celebrities can and do get to keep being celebs when they release a few bad movies or shows.

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

Random question of the day:

Have you ever watched Mythbusters? If so, what was your favorite confirmed myth? Following this, what was your favorite busted myth?

 

[Idea]

I watched it at one point, but it was far too long ago for me to remember, to me it was another show that happened to be on when I was bored and the stuff I actually wanted to see wasn’t on. It was just kind of there, not very memorable.

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

Random question of the day:

What's the most accurate depiction of the objectively humble vs the objectively arrogant in pop culture (In your opinion)?

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

No answers yesterday. What a shame.

Random question of the day:

Have you ever gotten so frustrated at a video game that you broke your controller in the process?

 

[Onmyoji]

Ugh, no. Controllers are expensive, knowing their price stops me from breaking them even in frustration

 

[ForgetTomorroow]

Unfortunately, yeah, sleep exhaustion, working nights, and a loud family — a lovely mixed combo which cracked me like an egg a few years ago. I broke my switch during Pokemon, of all things, and in hindsight, I was behaving like a little toddler. After that, all switches are now treated as gold and, thankfully, sleep is no longer an issue. Little titbit of advice: never play a game when your sleep deprived and emotionally exhausted.

 

[Idea]

Not a controller, but I did at one point crush my headphones.

 

[Catlestial]

Almost broke my wiimote and nunchuck in highschool playing donkey kong country I was very surprised when I picked it up and it worked after, haha. I was more careful after that--
