#QuestionOfTheDay what's a good piece of media you want others to know about that got overlooked due to the medium it was released in. Like a TV movie that got overlooked by not being a cinema movie, a video game that got released on a system nobody cared about, a story that was only published in a small zine, a show that aired at a weird time or on a small/dying channel, etc

#QuestionOfTheDay in honour of me watching the Minecraft movie, what's the worst piece of fiction/art you've ever consumed in full. Not "so bad it's good" or anything, or like widely considered to be bad but you think it's funny, like so bad it's bad, the least enjoyable thing you've ever experienced, you want to erase all memory of it from your mind. Keeping in mind you have to have watched/read/played/listened to it to completion.

What is something you quote all the time? It can be from a movie, TV show, book, comic, whatever.

One example from me is from Parks and Rec where Tom says, “I thought we as a culture agreed to forget the year that everyone was into swing.”

What about you?

#QuestionOfTheDay in sports, the "Ewing Theory" posits that some teams where the superstar player receives inordinate media and fan attention but the team doesn't do well, actually do better when the player is gone.

My question in the same vein is: name a work of fiction (game, anime, manga, TV show, book, whatever) that you think is better when the main character/hero/protagonist isn't around.
