Why did Robert show up to Winterfell only flying Lannister banners? I don’t think I saw a single Baratheon banner when they arrived.

[funny trope] People always get their name wrong

Nikolaj (Brooklyn 99) Some are able to properly pronounce it, but Charles often has to correct them, even Jake has never said it properly!

Blitzø (Helluva Boss) The ‘O’ is silent! It’s fuckin’ triggering and I’m pretty sure you KNOW it’s a hate crime—

Glorio (Dragon Ball DAIMA) This is more Goku specifically, but up until the last episode he can’t say Gloryhole’s name right.

[A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones/etc.] Was the “Targaryen Madness” a thing before Aegon’s Conquest?

I’m sure the phrase “Every time a Targaryen is born, the Gods flip a coin” is one come up with after they ascended to rule the Seven Kingdoms, but is there any evidence of this happening prior to Aegon conquering Westeros?

[Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon] If a Targaryen’s dragon dies, are they able to claim another?

Viserys was the last rider of Balerion before he passed of old age. If he were interested, could he have claimed Vermithor, Seasmoke, or one of the others who were unclaimed? Has it ever happened? This goes for all of them, of course, King Vizzy’s just the best example I can currently think of.

Favorite trans characters?

Sallie May (Helluva Boss) Millie’s sister, she hasn’t appeared in much yet, but she’s a fan favorite still! I’m really looking forward to seeing more of her!

Vivian (Paper Mario TYYD) Vivian’s gender (And that of her sisters) was a little ambiguous in the original 2004 version, but the remakes outright confirm that Vivian is trans!

Shouldn’t Trunks be a lot stronger than Goten?

I get that he has far different experiences than Future Trunks, I’m not saying he should be busting out Super Saiyan 2 or anything like that (Not yet, anyway) but I mean more with regards to their training.

Goten likely isn’t getting a lot of training from anyone except maybe Piccolo. He trains with Gohan and Chi-Chi for the World Martial Arts Tournament, but only Gohan is going to be able to train on a level that would result in him getting stronger (Except his Super Saiyan transformation, of course, I’m pretty sure he canonically did it for the first time training with Chi-Chi but that miiight be filler? S’been a while.) Aside from that, he might have done a bit of training with Goku between Buu and Beerus, but after that, Goku just kinda fucks off to train with Whis.

Trunks, on the other hand, is part of the Royal Saiyan bloodline (for whatever that’s worth these days) with the best Capsule Corp technology around and a father who is most certainly not going to let him skip out on training. Vegeta does also fuck off to train with Whis, but knowing him, he probably still has a strict training regimen for Trunks to adhere to while he’s gone with severe consequences if he doesn’t.

I get that neither of them could train to the extent that their fathers want them to, given their mothers’ insistence that they pursue academics, but Trunks is able to power up enough that Goku can sense him from Beerus’ planet, something that nearly killed Gohan (Granted, he was pretty badly hurt already, but this was also Tracksuit Gohan, so…)

There is, of course, ample evidence to suggest Goten is a prodigy in his own right, much like his brother and father, but we see so little of his own feats that it seems like the power gap between them should be a bit wider.

[Attack on Titan] What if everyone just let Eren proceed with The Rumbling?

They all just stay on Paradis eating pie and picking out new homes in what used to be Wall Sina. Does Eren just come home once it’s over? Does he bring the Colossal Titans back and make them harden into the Walls again? With nobody left to attack Paradis, how would they expand their territory into that trampled land?

[Loved trope] Invisible characters

Hagakure (My Hero Academia) Has an Invisibility quirk that’s almost always active.

Drax (Guardians of the Galaxy) He may not be invisible in the traditional sense, but he’s mastered the art of staying so incredibly still that he’s invisible to the eye.

Sue Storm (Fantastic Four) Also has invisibility powers!

Something about a dog and barn animals

It was live action, and I remember having the DVD for it when I was around 5 years old (2007-ish). I don’t remember much, but I know the dog protag had the catchphrase “Great Danes!” Whenever he was excited about something, there was a running gag about a chicken who talked too much so the other animals would tell her to “Shut up!” To which she’d respond “Okie dokie.”

There was also some running scene that had the William Tell Overture playing in the background. I’ve searched for this movie for the better part of 20 years and haven’t been able to find it.

[Magic School Bus] Does Miss Frizzle have proper jurisdiction for all these field trips?

She’s the only chaperone, nobody ever signs any permission slips or gives consent for these kids to go, a good few of them involve her choosing a child to microscopically enter the body of, where if the bus experiences any technical difficulties it could expand and kill them. Is the school allowing these, or is it just a “Seatbelts on and mouths shut” situation?

Is the Colossal Titan easy to control on purpose?

It’s mentioned that Burritotoes easily mastered it on his first try, and there’s no mention of Armin having any difficulty controlling it either. How would Marley have been able to handle a rampaging Colossal Titan in previous generations?
