Fandoms Q&A

Hi. It's obvious what this is. Right? If it's not obvious, it will be. Right?

Sorry if that sounded rude but I'm grumpy and really don't feel like typing up written descriptions of stuff right now. Anyone may add questions to sections or whole new sections altogether.

1. Are you a fan of Doctor Who? (If so go ahead and answer the next questions, otherwise answer no skip this section.

1a. Were you sad when Matt Smith left?

1b. Do you like the Twelfth Doctor from what we've seen of him?

1c. Do you believe the rumors about the Master returning in the next season?

1d. Do you want the Master to return, and, if so, when?

1e. What do you think will happen in the next season?

1f. Now for the basics: Favorite Doctor?

1g. Favorite companion?

1h. Favorite monster/villain?

1i. Favorite episode?

1j. Favorite print-based story (comics or written word)?

1i. Other thoughts?

2. Are you a fan of Star Trek? (Same deal.)

2a. Do you like the original series, TNG, DS9, the JJ Abrams movies, or all of the above, and why? Which of them do you dislike? Why?

2b. Who is your favorite protagonist?

2c. Favorite antagonist?

2d. Favorite episode of any of the shows, movies, or other screen-based Star Trek media?

2e. Favorite print-based (comics or written word) Star Trek media?

2f. Other thoughts?

3. Are you a fan of Star Wars?

3a. Are you looking forward to Episode VII? Any thoughts about the casting or other announcements regarding it?

3b. Favorite protagonist?

3c. Favorite antagonist?

3d. Favorite movie (one of the six episodes please, the Clone Wars movie or other DTV ones not applicable)?

3e. Did you love or loathe the prequels?

3f. Other thoughts?

4. Are you a fan of the Marvel Universe?

4a. Do you read the comics, watch the movies, or both?

4b. How do you feel about the upcoming movies (Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men: Apocalypse, Spider-Man spinoffs, etc.)?

4c. Favorite superhero?

4d. Favorite baddie?

4e. Other thoughts?

5. Do you belong to any other fandoms? (Once again, you can also add a whole new section for your fandom, or add questions to the existing sets.)

My answers.

1. Yes

1a. No.

1b. Yes. I love Capaldi's costume and his attitude.

1c. Not sure. But I want to.

1d. Yes, and I want him to come back NOW or at least as soon as possible. Steven Moffat didn't insult him, just worries that maybe he's a little too cartoony and is feeling like "if you have a good idea, bring it" so I think it's fairly plausible.

1e. The Doctor will bring back Gallifrey from the Time War, safely, allowing for more Time Lords to be on the show. If this happens it will open up a slew of possible reintroductions, of perhaps Romana, the Rani, Rassilon, the Master, the Meddling Monk, etc.

1f. 9 and 10

1g. Clara

1h. Daleks and Master

1i. Gee! I dunno. The Doctor's Wife? Tomb of the Cybermen? Genesis of the Daleks? Who knows? I do have a fair share  of ones I really like though.

1j. Gareth Roberts' novelization of Shada, a Fourth Doctor serial which was abandoned due to a strike at the BBC.

1i. Season 8 will be awesome.

2. A little bit. I thought I'd include it as it's a popular fandom.

2a. I like the JJA movies. They're pretty much all I've seen except for a tiny bit of the original series.

2b. I don't know. Spock? Nah...

2c. Khan, as portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch.

2d. Star Trek Into Darkness

2e. None. I've got to read that Doctor Who/ST crossover...

2f. No, not a big fan of it. But maybe I will be, someday.

3. Yes.

3a. Looking forward indeed. Glad the original actors (Hamill, Fisher, Ford) are returning, and the new cast looks great. JJ seems like the perfect guy to tackle it so I'm glad he's doing it.

3b. Han Solo all the way...

3c. Gah. Darth Maul? I guess. He looks cool.

3d. Empire Strikes Back

3e. Prequels are interesting... but boring. They make for good fan food but are horrible as movies.

3f. Well, it will be pretty awesome when Star Wars is truly reborn next year.

4. Yes.

4a. Mostly movies, some of the comics.

4b. Guardians of Galaxy looks awesome. I don't know about those Spider-Man spinoffs... and I can't say about Apocalypse, but Days of Future Past was AWESOME

4c. Either Iron Man or Spidey.

4d. Loki? No. Electro? Maybe. Loki? YES!

4e. Ultron is a robot made by Hank Pim (aka Ant Man). The next Avengers movie is called Age of Ultron. They're making an Ant-Man movie. I see where they're going with this...

5. Yes. Sherlock, Portal (but not Half-Life), Muppets, Oz, etc. Long list...

So now you guys can answer and/or add questions.

I just realized that I didn't say my favorite Doctor. David Tennant/10 of course!!!

I'll only answer some questions because math final tomorrow (which I am now confident at because I now know the surface area of a triangular prism by adding the areas of the rectangles and triangles. Plus mostly double percents.)

Doctor Who  

1a. YEAH I WAS! I'm sad when any Doctor leaves, to be honest. :,(

1b. No. Not a fan of him so far... then again, I hate every new Doctor.

1c. Mm, I want to, but I doubt he will.

1d. I would like him to return... with the 13th Doctor since I don't like the 12th so far.

1e. Gallifrey will come back :D Pretty sure!

1f. 10. Definitely 10. And 11 in a close second.

1g. Toughie... I love them all, really. Can't say.

1h. Daleks FTW!!

1i. Journey's End. Or the 50th Anniversary.

1j. Um, I don't know. Some internet comics made by fans are really fun though.

1k. My friend spread Bad Wolf post-its throughout the school yesterday. Only about 10 people got it. Everyone else thought it was weird, they were confused, or they thought it was mean and a wolf was being bullied...

Star Wars (yes I am a bit of a fan)

3a. Sorta looking forward to it, mostly. I heard Disney was taking over so... I hope it doesn't yet ruined.

3b. Favorite character... going to have to be R2D2. But I like all of the cast of characters (including Clone Wars like Asoka Tanu)

3c. Probably Darth Vader.

3d. A New Hope or Return of the Jedi.

3e. I thought they were pretty good, not the best though. I was scared to watch Revenge of the Sith... o_o The other two were nice, but The Clone Wars was 7/10.

3f. The next movie better be good, Disney.

Marvel

4a. The movies. I'm not a superhero comicbook person. I'll read Calvin & Hobbes and The Peanuts but not superhero comics. Just not into it.

4b. Guardians of the Galazy looks amazing, the new Spider Mans look like Hollywood productions, and I don't know about X-Men: Apocalypse. The title seems cool. And oh God another X-Men Days of Future Past fan?! *high fives* I LOVED that movie!!

4c. I'm going with the X-Men, most likely Wolverine or Mystique.

4d. Loki all the way!!

4e. X-Men Days of Future Past is a new obsession of mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll add questions later after the math final ahhh.

1. New Who, yes.

1a. I haven't seen the last season yet, but I imagine I will be. I like Eleven! *pouts*

1b. I've only seen a picture of him, but yeah. I was a little worried at first cause I've only seen young doctors, but I think he'll be quite good in the role.

1c. There are rumors?

1d. Yeah, He was cool. I couldn't say when, though.

1e. No idea.

1f. David Tennant, aka Ten.

1g. I haven't seen Clara yet, but I really love Amy and Rory. Martha may actually be my favorite, though. She was awesome.

1h. I don't know...Daleks? Santaurons? Weeping angels? STOP STRESSING ME.

1i. I don't know. It's been a long time since I saw most of them. I remember nerding out over The Doctor's Wife, but really I don't remember.

1j. Haven't read any.

1h. I LOVE THE TARDIS. SHE MAY BE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. Also, a female Doctor would be pretty cool.

2. Yeah! I haven't seen all of it, though. 

2a. Hmm...DS9, maybe? I also really like TNG.

2b. Spock and Worf.

2c. I don't really remember that many. Khan, maybe? The Borg were scary, though!

2d. Um, I don't remember? Long time also.

2e. Same deal as with DW.

2f. I went as a Vulcan for Halloween once! My brother was a Kilngon!

3. I guess. I've only seen the originals.

3a. I guess? I'm glad they're bringing back some old actors, plus some of the actors they have seem goos.

3b. Princess Leia or R2D2, then Han Solo

3c. Darth Vader?

3d. Empire Strikes Back. Five, right?

3e. Haven't seen them. Loathe, probably. I don't want to betray my family.

3f. Nope.

4. Yep.

4a. I've only seen some of the movies. I hear the comics are excellent, though.

4b. I'm real excited for Avengers 2. (Joss is the best!) and I'm looking forward to X-men, as I just saw DoFP. I might be watching the old ones soon.

4c. I love Iron Man. Thor is cool, too, though, as is Hulk.

4d. Is there an answer that isn't Loki? 

4e. What is even the point of Black Widow? Like, she's probably good in Agents of Shield and everything, and I really want to like her but...why is she there? She's a good spy, so what? Why is she an Avenger? I just wish they'd given her any reason to be in that movie other than 1. So the Avengers don't look gender exclusive, 2. To be hot and 3. To be manipulated by Loki. Not as bad as Hawkeye, though.

5. SO MANY. Sherlock, Psych, Scrubs, House, Buffy, Firefly, A:tLA, The Office...I WATCH A LOT OF TV OKAY. Also Tamora Pierce and Professor Layton.

I added a quiz about Firefly. Is that okay? 

Firefly--

1. Are you a fan of Firefly?

1a. If you answered no, is it because you haven't seen it? If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT RIGHT NOW. But get permission first if you think you need it.

1b. Were you outraged that it was cancelled? Why?

1c. Favorite episode?

1d. Favorite character?

1e. If it had continued, what did you want to happen?

My answers:

1. Yes.

1b. Yes, because it was amazing.

1c. I don't know.

1d. Inara, Kaylee, Mal, Wash, Zoe, River, Jayne...I'm really good at this.

1e. Mal and Inara 4ever, Preacher explained, Wash brought back because Joss can do that and otherwise I'm gonna start crying, basically the continued adventures of Serenity and the 'Verse.

1. Are you a fan of Doctor Who? (If so go ahead and answer the next questions, otherwise answer no skip this section.

2. Are you a fan of Star Trek? (Same deal.)

Never seen it. If I had, probably. 

3. Are you a fan of Star Wars?

Is the sun a star? Yes!!!! 

3a. Are you looking forward to Episode VII? Any thoughts about the casting or other announcements regarding it?

Well, different people are making it, so I don't expect it will be as good, and might be kind of cheesy. 

3b. Favorite protagonist?

Probably Han Solo or Princess Leia. Luke was horribly done. 

3c. Favorite antagonist?

In the first series, Count Dukoo, as he was played by Christerphor Lee. He did a good job of that. 

3d. Favorite movie (one of the six episodes please, the Clone Wars movie or other DTV ones not applicable)?

Definatly 4 or 6. 

3e. Did you love or loathe the prequels?

Loathe. The acting is terrible, the script is mediocre, and it is so mushy. 

3f. Other thoughts?

The origianals are fantastic. 

4. Are you a fan of the Marvel Universe?

No. 

5. Do you belong to any other fandoms? (Once again, you can also add a whole new section for your fandom, or add questions to the existing sets.) I love The Lord of the Rings, Jessica Day George's books, The Chronicles of Narnia, and a few other things (like, a tousand).

No.

No.

No.

Aaaaaand... no!

 

Probably I have two fandoms: How To Train Your Dragon and

(something I don't want to say because it's rather embarrasing).

(June 21, 2014 - 7:01 am)

Doctor Who: Possibly. I have been convinced to try it again.

Star Trek: Not really, though I used to jam out to a Star Trek CD when I was 6 with my dad. 

Star Wars: No evidently not. Never seen them.

Marvel: No, sorry, I don't get into Marvel.

I belong to dozens and dozens of fandoms, too many to name. I guess the big ones though are:

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Disney

Keeper of the Lost Cities

the classics (i.e. Little Women, Anne of Green Gables)

Merlin

@Gadzooks: You don't have to say, but know that nobody would laugh. There are no embarrassing fandoms. Heck, I love that tv show on Disney Junior, Sofia the First! That's one of my fandoms.

Adventure Time, for me

I love How to Train Your Dragon, the books and the movies :)

(July 4, 2014 - 6:24 pm)

1. No, though it sounds really cool.

2. No.

3. I guess so, though not as much as some other fandoms.

3a. I am looking forward to it a lot. I really like the original trilogy, and think this is a chance for George to redeem himself.

3b. Han Solo, of course. He's just so cool.

3c. Darth Vader, considering he is like...the only one?

3d. I really don't know; they all kind of blend into one epic story.

3e. I only saw the last one, when Anakin turns into Darth Vader and I was really disappointed. The acting was poor, the script was "what?" and you didn't get the sense of this huge world that you got with the original movies. Plus I feel that so much could have been done with it and nothing really happened that wasn't foreseen.

4. Oh yeah!

4a. I just watch the movies; I'm not really a comic book girl.

4b. I never really think about it, but how bad can they be?

4c. That one's hard. A toss-up between Captain America and Thor, probably, though my opinions of the former are only from Avengers--I didn't see The Winter Soldier.

4d. Loki. Loki. And did I happen to mention Loki? Talk about perfect villainy.

4e. What was up with the end of Thor: The Dark World? I will be hanging on the edge of my seat until the 3rd one comes out and I can hunt the Internet for spoilers.

5. Um, Lord of the Rings???
*hums Fellowship theme*

(June 21, 2014 - 3:49 pm)

1. Umm... heard of it, but never watched it. Sorry. 

2. No.

3. You could say that...

3a: Yes, surprisingly.

3b: Leia. Is that how you spell her name?

3c: Hehehe... Darht Vader.

3d: I dunno.. I've only seen The clone Wars and b its and pieces of the rest of them.

3e: See above.

3f: None, sorry.

4: No. I haven't seen the movies and I don't usually like comic books.

5. Do books count? I like Lord of the Rings, but that's like, the only movie... Anywho, if books count, there would be a very long list which I am not going to put here.

Ok, adding Percy Jackson! Going to call it 6 I think...

6. Are you a fan of Percy Jackson?

6a. Do you like the Heroes of Olympus series?

6b. Who is your favorite character?

6c. Least favorite? (this goes for the seven half-bloods, as well as others)

6d. Favorite book in the original series?

6e. Favorite in Heroes of Olympus?

6f. Are you excited for the Blood of Olympus?

6g. Who do you predict will die in the Blood of Olympus?

6h. Thoughts?

Yeah, that was long, but I had to add the Blood of Olympus questions. I don't exactly have the time to post my answers at the moment, so I will do so later (hopefully).

6. Are you a fan of Percy Jackson?

Yep :)

6a. Do you like the Heroes of Olympus series?

I do, but not as much as the Percy Jackson series 

6b. Who is your favorite character?

Annabeth! 

6c. Least favorite? (this goes for the seven half-bloods, as well as others)

Hmm, Jason and Piper are kind of boring, but I don't dislike them. Frank and Hazel are ok. I really didn't like Rachel in the first series, but that was probably because she was in the way of Percebeth. 

6d. Favorite book in the original series?

The Last Olympian, for sure 

6e. Favorite in Heroes of Olympus?

I don't know. Maybe The Mark of Athena? I liked the first two also, but I wasn't a huge fan of House of Hades. 

6f. Are you excited for the Blood of Olympus?

Yes 

6g. Who do you predict will die in the Blood of Olympus?

Frank. I think the line of the prophesy: "To storm or fire the world must fall"  means Franks life stick. It would be less expected than Leo's fire. I also think that two other demigods will die because it would be kind of lame if Gaia never actually rose. Maybe Hazel and Nico. But I doubt it. 

6h. Thoughts?

I hope RR doesn't ruin this last book, becasue I was not impressed with HoH. I feel like he's just pumping out the books and not putting as much thought into them. I loved the first series so much, but HoO is just OK. 

I also REALLY want him to write an epilogue with Percy and Annabeth. Maybe Percebeth babies!
