Headscratchers / [Work Name]

Go To

  • Legitimate question about something that didn't make sense.
    • Explanation attempting to make sense of the moment in question.
      • Rebuttal explaining why this explanation wouldn't work.
      • Slightly snarky counter-rebuttal of the above.
      • Counter-counter rebuttal filled with genuine hate for the people who believe any of these explanations would work.
      • Massive Flame War.
  • Other legitimate question.
  • Thing that actually made sense, but the person who wrote this missed some details about the work that made it make sense.
    • Response insulting that troper for misunderstanding the work.
  • Long list of meta-examples complaining about the work and its fans. Probably an artifact from when this section was called "It Just Bugs Me" that nobody noticed or removed.
    • Example asking how the writer could think writing an unpopular episode was a good idea.
    • Example wondering why the fans are so annoying.
  • Question full of first-person language and hesitation that I am not sure if it's really an issue, but I vaguely remember something about that work that didn't make sense. Maybe it was just me missing some details but it's still bothering me a bit.
    • Response listing the details you missed and explains how the thing actually made sense.
  • Nitpicking about every single unrealistic thing.
  • Question about something that's really obvious.
  • Question about something that didn't actually happen.
  • Why does [character I personally dislike] get to continue living? They should die. This is definitely a legitimate question about the plot and not just complaining.
  • Question that comes off as half-headscratcher, half-complaining.
    • Genuine answer.
      • Reply that the answer still makes no sense. Might come off as an unintentional attempt to start a Flame War.
    • Answer that also comes off as half-complaining.
  • Question about a small moment in the work that doesn't really make sense, but is easy to ignore.
    • Several large paragraphs worth of rebuttal.
    • Even more paragraphs of counter-rebuttal that took more effort than it's worth.
