Lots of works ask questions. Some of these are rhetorical questions, never designed to be answered. Some of them are [[DrivingQuestion big questions that drive the entire plot.]] You could be respectful and wait for the work to finish addressing these questions. Or, you could be a jerk and give a sarcastic answer right now. This page is for the second one. Answer a {{rhetorical question|Blunder}}. Make snarky responses to a work's driving question. Go ahead, this is a JustForFun page. That kind of stuff is allowed. Warning: unmarked '''spoilers'''.
