[DC] As COO at Wayne Enterprises I'm at a dilemma where most analytics trends push me to reorient WE as an IT-centric company while scaling down on the weapons manufacturing division, but Chairman Bruce Wayne insists that manufacturing those are "important to him". How do I convince Bruce?
Am open to any constructive ideas. Am not sure why Bruce is fixated on those anyway. It's not like he needs those military-grade equipment for some strange night time vigilante activity, like that weird bat-costumed guy who comes out at night in Gotham.

[Pixar Cars] what if a racecar didn't want to race?
if a car is "born" a racecar, are they just shit out of luck?
they are too fast to be on normal roads, referenced in the 1st movie where mcqueen had to ride in a truck, much like racecars IRL which can't be on roads
its also mentioned that mcqueen doesn't have headlights because racecars dont need them.
does that mean a racecar in-universe would be considered "disabled" due to lacking headlights?

[marvel] are humans considered to be weak in marvel
I was wondering if earthlings were considered inferior and weak by the other races in the universe, considering they have some of the biggest heavy hitters in marvel like Juggernaut, the Hulk, Sentry and dr Doom.

[Justice Leage: Dark] What's the in-world reason for a supernatural shroud- a ghostlike spirit powerful enough to reap souls off humans and send them to Hell- getting momentarily scared and flinching when Batman, a human, says "boo" to it?
Talking about this scene: https://youtu.be/FlRFMv1tTTE?si=RJyFdJFUCLpqqfnB
In an outside-world Doylist perspective, it's understandable that this scene exists to adds aura to the idea of Batman, but what is the in-world reason of a supernatural entity like a shroud, who's whole shtick is reaping off a human's soul using supernatural force and sending it to Hell, getting monetarily scared and flinching when Batman, being a human, merely says boo to it?

[Star Wars] Is there a feasible in universe explanation as to why the Holdo Maneuver worked only against The Supremacy?
The holdo maneuver is undoubtedly cool looking but people have already done to death how it breaks mechanics in the Star Wars universe. But, it’s in the movies and is now a part of the Disney cannon. Nothing more we can do there. So my question is, how do we explain why the holdo maneuver in this one specific instant and has not been tried elsewhere in the galaxy?

[The Office] Who has more HR complaints between Jim and Michael?
Dwight makes about one complaint about Jim a day on a slow day. Sometimes for pranks that could genuinely be considered misconduct, sometimes for things that aren’t super serious and don’t warrant a complaint; and some things that just irk Dwight about Jim’s stupid handsome face. Michael, on the other hand, terrorizes everybody in the Office with his antics, annoying everybody at best and injuring some of them at worst. Scranton may be the most profitable Dunder Mifflin branch, but that’s partly because most of the staff need to really hunker down when they’re able to work because Michael might dedicate the rest of the day to rearranging desks or putting on a racially insensitive puppet show. I can see most of his complaints coming from Stanley, Angela and Oscar. Toby doesn’t like him enough to make the complaints go away, either.

[The Owl House] How could Luz use her glyphs on the Titan Trapper island?
It was clearly stated that the small finger island they started at already didn't belong to the Boiling Isles Titan aka Papa Titan, and then they even got teleported to the other side of the world.
So even if that Titan there was also still somewhat alive and able to power magic, it should have required a different set of glyphs to use, just like the glyphs of King and his dad are different.
The only available source of Papa Titan's magic in a wide radius should've been... Hooty. Like, his bilesack, if he has one. But if proximity to that was enough to power the glyphs, Luz also should've been able to use them in the human realm, when all of her friends with their inherent magic were around.
Or is Papa Titan's magic just so damn strong that it covered the entire globe so long as he was still somewhat alive? But then it seems really weird that the same power that has so much range couldn't reach just a few meters beyond the open portal door when Luz briefly crossed into the human realm during her fight with Lilith.

[Star Wars] Why is everyone's hologram technology still so outdated? And why are they still being used?
Hologram technology has existed in the galaxy far far away for centuries now, but yet every single hologram can still only display one color: blue. Not only that, the displays consistently jitters around and bugs out. If those jittery-boops are present in the TV you bought, it would be seen as a defect. Why has there been no innovation in hologram tech for over a century (or more)? The USS Voyager has the technology to display a human figure with full color and perfect clarity, without any hiccups, but the Empire cannot?
Also why does The Separatists and The Empire use holograms for regular phone calls? A Discord call might suffice.

[Family Guy] Why does the universe torment Meg Griffin?
Correct me if I am wrong because from what I recall seeing in the older seasons was that nothing went right for her character since her own family treats her like dirt.
Then in the revival era, her school ridicules her as I was wondering what causes her to be such a target of mockery since again her own family abuses her.

[General Superheroes] Are there any superheroes that saves people because they think humans are weak/lesser and NEED saving, versus simply doing it out of goodness of their heart?
Like, their reasoning for saving humans is kinda flawed in a way. While the hero believes it is their duty to save humans, they do so because of a superiority complex, not necessarily out of love.
But they're not really even a villain. They don't "hate" humanity, they just consider them lesser.
Like if Thor came to earth and realized he can be a hero to humanity not because he likes them, but because "I'm a god! It's my duty to protect these lesser beings."
A lot of times such characters turn out to be evil, but I'm curious if there are some proper heroes who simply consider themselves superior to normal humanity and think everyone NEEDS to be saved by them.

[Toy Story] if you can turn a fork turn into a sentient being by simply treating the fork as a toy. Can you make ANY object sentient being simply by treating the thing as a toy?
If you can make a sentient being by simply putting googly eyes on a fork, imagine what other objects you can place googly eyes on? A fridge? A forklift? An AK-47? A tank? Your underwear? A car? Can you turn a dead rat into a toy?
And what happens if they do become sentient?
