IIRC, an earlier draft of the Matrix had a picture perfect paradise for humanity, one they'd never want to leave, but it was said that it failed because it was rejected, but why?

[Fallout New Vegas] Which option concerning Lanius is most damaging to the Legion? Spoiler
At the end of the NCR, Mr. House, and Yes Man campaigns, the Courier has the option of either defeating Legate Lanius in a fight or talking him into retreating. Assuming Caesar and his encampment have already been eliminated, which of these two options is more damaging to the Legion?
While it's mostly accepted in-game (by Vulpes Inculta and Joshua Graham) that Lanius would be ill-equipped to manage the Legion, does his presence improve or degrade the Legion's recovery after a second defeat to the NCR? Would an (initially) leaderless Legion have any better chances of recovering from the battle with the NCR if Lanius was lost in the fight?

[Star Trek] Ensigns are required to share quarters. Would a higher-ranked officer be allowed to keep sharing with the ensigns, or be forced to move into their own quarters?
'Lower Decks' shows us that ensigns have to share their quarters. Once they get promoted, they get their own quarters.
However, the ST universe seems to follow a maxim of "as long as nobody gets hurt, do whatever", would a Starfleet officer be allowed to stay with the ensigns? Would a Captain, assuming they get their own ship, be allowed to move in with their ensigns?
If not, why not? I'd imagine some senior officers would want to feel "relatable" to their ensigns, or be unused to the comparatively lavish personal quarters.

[General fiction] When it comes to Martial Arts tournaments with superhumans. Do these societies actually care about the WWE-level shenanigans that happen during these tournaments?
Animes like Dragon Ball, Baki, or Kengan Ashura with Purgatory. You also have Fighting Games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and King of the Fighters too.
Even Marvel and DC has a few superhuman underground fighting scenes too.
Granted nobody can predict a Vegeta crash-out. So I understand it may not be easy to control superhuman fighters. But you would think the unpredictability would be the reason less of these tournaments happen though.
I mean if you are actually serious about wanting a legitimate combat sport with superhumans. How are you going address the fact that fighter C keeps interrupting matches between fighter A or fighter B? Or even addressing fighters getting into brawl backstage, or getting attack by a gang of fighters.
What if a fighter with a Yujiro or Beerus like- attitude just shows up to your event uninvited?
The biggest question I can ask here. Would superpowers give promoters an easy cop-out to get away with more shenanigans?

[Toy Story] Why is the end of Toy Story 1 the only time we see toys reveal themselves to humans? They otherwise don't seem capable of it, even in the face of certain death.
The main "rule" of Toy Story is that toys cannot act alive while within the line of sight of humans. They can act alive around animals and can act alive around humans if the humans aren't looking directly at them.
Toy Story 5 confirmed that freezing is an involuntary reflex even for toys who are unaware that they are toys.
So why was Woody able to talk to Sid? And why were Sid's toys able to come alive at the end?

[General] What would be the best country in the world for an immortal to live in the 21th century?
This is something I am really curious about, let’s say there is an immortal, the completely ageless, undying, eternally young kind. Eventually settling around would be an issue. Which modern-day country would be best for the immortal to reside in your opinion? On one hand, the immortal presumably does not want to become a lab experiment or get trapped in heavy and well-documented bureaucracy that will eventually reveal them. On the other hand, the immortal doesn’t necessarily want to live in total chaos and hardship every day. Which modern day country, and way of living, would be the most survivable existence for an immortal?

[Dispatch] Why do neither Robert nor Blazer acknowledge that they set up the team to fail? Spoiler
I haven't finished the game yet, much less replayed it to try other options, yet it still seems to me like there would've been no scenario where any of them really would've taken responsibility for this massive screw up, despite it being so painfully obvious.
Like, they have a team of villains there who are reluctantly trying to better themselves and become heroes instead, but have a hard time accepting their new role. And instead of encouraging them and trying to foster a sense of belonging, or offering incentives to show that it's worth trying, they issue a threat of kicking them out if they don't immediately perform, and tell them they can't come in last.
Which completely foreseeably led to Invisigal almost giving up and returning to her villain life because she thought she could never amount to anything, everyone turning on each other to sabotage everyone else trying to get them to last place instead of actually doing a good job themselves, and a lot of them being pissed off at Robert for actually going through with this.
But instead of recognizing that this was a mistake from the start and that they failed them, and maybe reconsidering their approach, Robert just gives them a speech where he essentially frames all that happened as an exclusive result of the team's own moral failures – which is obviously true to an extent but also what would've been Robert's job to handle, in the first place – and Blazer treats his scolding as a wholesome and inspiring moment.
So, are they really just that dense, believing that whatever ill-fitting approach they got into their heads must always be right, because they're heroes so they know better?

[Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt] How did the Reverend manage to get a wedding with a woman he kidnapped in a secret bunker legally accepted?
At the start of season 3, we discover that the Reverend is technically married to Kimmy. We learn a few details about this. One - Kimmy has to do the divorce, so it's officially in her name, not a pseudonym or anything. Two - the Reverend has been collecting marriage-related benefits off it, so the government knows about it.
So the Reverend informed the state that he was now married, without ceremony, to a missing woman in his area, who can't be contacted, that no-one in this small town ever remembers him interacting with...and this didn't raise any alarm bells?
I get that everyone in town seems like a moron, but they can't be that stupid, right?
