Silverblade5 he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Let's start with the obvious one: "Is Reckoners Cosmere?". Great. Now that we have that large elephant out of the way, what do you think some of the ones we have are? 5
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) As a Downtoner, I can say that I find it very annoying when people call it "Downtown Abbey" instead of "Downton Abbey." There's also calling him "Doctor Who" instead of just "The Doctor." (You don't call the Master "Master Who," do you? ) And, while we're on the topic of Doctor Who, one of my personal peeves is when newbies focus on the companions' flaws: "Rose doesn't seem very smart." "Donna's kind of a nag." "Amy's a little clingy." That's the whole point. The Doctor doesn't choose his companions because they're the most intelligent, well-adjusted people in the world; he chooses them because they're ordinary people with ordinary strengths and flaws. It's their lack of extraordinary talents that makes them special. Edited August 31, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 5

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Oh, but you simply must watch the rest of it darling! I did. Not sure if they actually watched the show or not.
mail-mi he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I did. Not sure if they actually watched the show or not. I'm sure one of their writers did at some point.
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Thinking Aang and Korra are the same. Thinking Captain Kirk and Captain Picard lived in the sane time period.

Zathoth Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 People complaining about Jojo's bizarre Adventure being weird... well, yes, it is right there in the title, what did you expect?
The Honor Spren she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 WoK spoilers People wondering where Shallan got her Shardblade. After reading both books. 4
Kobold King he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 As a Downtoner, I can say that I find it very annoying when people call it "Downtown Abbey" instead of "Downton Abbey." My dad refers to MLP as "My Pretty Pony" constantly. It drives me bonkers, and I think he does it on purpose. 3
Guest Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 People consistently calling Episode Six of Star Wars Episode Three. GAAAAAHHHH
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 WoK spoilers People wondering where Shallan got her Shardblade. After reading both books. Do people seriously do that? I mean, really. Pattern even says "I was the Shardblade all along." 2

ThirdGen Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 People consistently calling Episode Six of Star Wars Episode Three. GAAAAAHHHH Maybe this doesn't bug most fans, but calling the original movie A New Hope. Nope! It's called Star Wars. 1
Blaze1616 he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe this doesn't bug most fans, but calling the original movie A New Hope. Nope! It's called Star Wars. Along the same lines, calling Raiders of the Lost Ark "Indiana Jones". Um, no. That was number 2 and 3. Indiana Jones is a character in Raiders, but that movie is not called Indiana Jones. 1
Curiosity he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Well, mentioning the Percy Jackson movies causes my brother to rant almost reflexively. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Well, mentioning the Percy Jackson movies causes my brother to rant almost reflexively. What Percy Jackson movies? They never made any movies. (Those books weren't my favorite, but they were fun enough that I disowned the movies.) 3
The Honor Spren she/her Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Well, mentioning the Percy Jackson movies causes my brother to rant almost reflexively.Don't even get me started on those movies!! The books were great, but the movies? Just...just...NO!!! Edit: What Percy Jackson movies? They never made any movies. (Those books weren't my favorite, but they were fun enough that I disowned the movies.) I guess they probably seem better when you read them when you're 12. . .

Blaze1616 he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I am disappoint. Another thing that irks me is when people don't realize that there's often more than one character who has taken a super hero's name. To use Green Lantern as an example, Most people my age recognize John Stewart, the black Detroit architect, due to his use on the Justice League cartoon. But there's also Hal Jordan, the most popular one, Guy Gardner, the hot headed one, and Kyle Rayner, the creative one. And let's not forget Alan Scott, the original GL from the golden age. This applies to Flash, Robin, and really any other hero who's had multiple iterations as well.
Ookla the Absent Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Don't even get me started on those movies!! The books were great, but the movies? Just...just...NO!!! I didn't even realize there was more than one.
Quiver he/him Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Kobold is a terrible fan. "Goku is the most powerful guy in fiction and wins everything." Wrong. Goku isn't even the most powerful character in Dragonball Z, and he loses his fair share of fights. The arc villains he personally defeats are Freiza and Buu. (Dragonball is a different story...but Gohan beat Vegeta and Cell, and Goku was stronger than Ginyu, but it was Krillen and Gohan who stopped him)
