fictional_fansI was inspired by a Facebook post I wrote a few years ago, expressing confusion over all the May the 4th jokes. I then realized that I'd been doing the same thing to people as a huge Harry Potter fan - they would mention they'd read the books, and I'd start going on about something that wasn't immediately clear to more casual fans, leaving them confused.
I still haven't seen past the first Star Wars sequel. I really need to amend that.
Questions for YOU guys:
1. Is there anything you like only casually, only to mislead people into excitement when you mention it?
2. Have you ever confused a casual fan with ALL the love and knowledge?
3. What is your stance on the Star Wars sequels? Do you consider them canon? (If your comment contains spoilers, please mark it. I originally asked that this be spoiler free, but that's not fair to anyone who really wants to get into it! It IS Star Wars Day, after all.)
4. What is a book, movie, or series you WOULD like to see a sequel or prequel to? Or, if it's already had one of those, do you think it could be done better?

Date: 2020-05-04 06:19 pm (UTC)I don't think I have done it. (Or maybe my mind keeps blocking all the memories of me realizing I have jumped into too deep water.)
2. Have you ever confused a casual fan with ALL the love and knowledge? Oh, absolutely guilty of that. Especially with my boyfriend - we met while discussing the "Servamp" anime. He hasn't read the manga, so I often confuse him by explaining the expanded characterization and the different motives and the new plotlines... goes on a trail
3. What is your stance on the Star Wars sequels? Do you consider them canon? (If your comment contains spoilers, please mark it. I originally asked that this be spoiler free, but that's not fair to anyone who really wants to get into it! It IS Star Wars Day, after all.) Canon's a confusing thing for me. Especially since I write for Megaten which has the most confusing timeline ever and I can't tell what ending is canon and what else. So, I keep some things as my personal canon and don't care too much about the official one. And as for Star Wars - I don't think I like that franchise enough to care about it, so I can't give an answer.

Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! I loved the sequel (or is it just a second season?). But I'd love a prequel about a badass hunk with a caring side that uses an ax to fight alien monsters with the power of love even more!
