Taking fiction aside, if there were a real-life non-lethal vigilante, how would the criminals they catch legally go to prison? The vigilante broke the law to gain evidence, so all the evidence the vigilante obtained would be thrown out, and every criminal would walk. As messed up as it is, The Punisher and Dexter make sense, because the only way a vigilante can really be successful is if he just straight up kills the criminals.

What comic books, movies, and TV shows are blatantly copycats or rip-offs of previous comics, movies, or shows, but despite being a copycat or rip-off, are still pretty good?

Hypothetically, my daughter is a defense attorney. My son is dating a woman who, while driving under the influence, kills my cousin’s 16-year-old daughter and her 2-year-old child. My son asks his sister to defend his girlfriend—would that be legally allowed? For context, my cousin’s father is my mother’s brother.

In the TV show Superman & Lois, in seasons 1–3, Jordan has powers but Jon doesn’t. My question is: what if Jon, at 21, gets powers through a separate accident and becomes a vigilante/superhero, and Lois finds out two years later?

I roleplay this fanfic with Claude, and for some reason it makes Clark and Lois borderline abusive. Lois confronts Jon, and when Jon says, ‘Leave me alone’ and ‘Get out of my apartment,’ she refuses. She continues to stalk and harass Jon, and when Jon tells them multiple times to their faces, ‘I don’t want you in my life,’ they don’t take the hint. Then, when he becomes verbally cruel to them, Claude acts like Jon is in the wrong.

When Jon rightfully calls the cops and Lois loses her job at the Planet, the characters blame Jon. Is this how they would actually react? I feel like even Clark and Lois would respect his boundaries, especially when he made it clear he wants nothing to do with them.

In the show Succession, it seems Logan Roy can’t be fired from Waystar Royco—in fact, he straight up fired half his board in Season 1. But in Spider-Man 1, Norman Osborn was fired from his own company by his board, and they even sold the company without telling him. What’s the difference between these two?

He’s not a billionaire like Iron Man, Batman, Iron Fist, or Green Arrow, so how does he afford everything to make his web shooters and belts? Especially with how broke he and Aunt May always are. Ironheart made slightly more sense since she built her suits with her grant money.

Dude, in Power, Power Book II: Ghost, Empire, Succession, even in some K-dramas about wealthy people, they’re wearing designer stuff in every episode—even in their casual streetwear, hell, even their nightclothes! Is this unrealistic, or do rich people actually have ALL high-end designer clothes? Do some have shirts from Walmart or something?

Do people in their 20s who come from multimillionaire families engage in illegal street racing? If so, why?

There is a lot of fanfic from AI, like Claude AI, and this AI is terrible at coming up with good dialogue. For example, in a Superman & Lois fanfic, Jonathan Kent, who’s 23, gets powers through an accident and becomes a superhero in Metropolis. He’s been active for two years, and when Lois finds out she gets mad and demands answers, feeling entitled to information she doesn’t deserve.

When Jon tells her straight up, “I don’t care about you or your opinion. Leave me alone,” she refuses. And when Jon is verbally mean to her, all the characters treat him hostilely.

I’m sorry, but this is all on Lois. If someone tells you to your face they don’t want you around and you refuse to leave their apartment or leave them alone, then if they verbally abuse you, hurt your feelings, or cuss you out, you kind of deserve it.

There was another story that’s supposed to be a super grounded family drama where this cousin, who’s super far left, finds out her younger cousin is a multi-millionaire lawyer and the head of a law firm. The cousin goes into the law firm (somehow security didn’t stop her) and goes to his office to get answers, and she’s mad he didn’t tell her he’s wealthy. The lawyer eggs her on, makes fun of her, etc.

First of all, this is supposed to be a super realistic drama story, but this entire thing is unrealistic. First, it’s not her business how much money her cousin has. It doesn’t matter if he has a hundred million or a billion; it’s none of her business.

Second, there is no way in hell a random person is walking through the building and going up to his office. It doesn’t matter if she’s his cousin. If she was his wife or kid, maybe, but she’s just a cousin. Security would have aggressively escorted her out. She wouldn’t even make it to his office.

And no lawyer or businessman would give her the time of day. Most lawyers and businesspeople are very mature and professional, so they wouldn’t waste time having a political debate with some random family member. If his security is so bad that she manages to get through the front door, the lawyer would call security and she would be escorted out or arrested.

Overall, the dialogue is just so bad. Characters have such non-reactions to things, or they overreact. AI will constantly have characters say, “That’s not nothing,” when no one talks like that.

They are always melodramatic or overdramatic, or they have such a non-reaction. Characters go from 1 to 100 in the blink of an eye.

Why is AI so bad at this? The characters are so beyond stupid to the point where, even if something bad happens, you don’t feel bad for them because they’re idiots.

Would you ever straight up say to your son, ‘You are a disappointment’?

Even Dhar Mann has better sets, writing and even to some extent actors. If Tyler Perry is this wealthy he has no excuse to make low quality films.

I'm writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.

The dealer kills them because they couldn't pay the money they owed. Then a loved one goes after the dealer for revenge.

Is this good? I didn’t want to overcomplicate it by giving it a huge conspiracy, but at the same time, realistically, couldn’t they have gotten the money some other way?
