Gannon Banned: Difference between revisions

* There's sometimes confusion about whether it's ''[[Watchmen]]'' or "The Watchmen." This provoked a lot of fan-rage when the movie came out, especially because "watchmen" was an [[Arc Words|Arc Word]] in the comic, and became the name of a superhero team in the movie..

* ''[[Spider-Man]]'''s title gets this a lot. As ''[[Friends]]'' helpfully explains:

'''Chandler:''' "No, it's not like he's Phil Spiderman. He's a SPIDER <beat> MAN. You know, like 'Goldman' is a last name, but there's no '[[Chrome Champion|Gold-man]]'." }}

* This sometimes happens regarding [[Lex Luthor]]'s name in Superman media, particularly [[Justice League Unlimited]]. A talk show host interviewing Luthor, who happens to be running for President at the time, pronounces it Luther, while in another episode Superman gets it right by forcing the 'thor' part.

* Refer to [[Pink Floyd]] as "[[I Am Not Shazam|he]]" and prepare to be laughed at.

** The [[Pink Floyd]] example was actually referenced in their song "Have A Cigar":

** And later ''[[The Wall]]'' was sort of written about the life of a character named Pink.

* You're unlikely to be slaughtered for it, but expect some groans, sighs and face-palms if you walk onto a forum/comments page/website/whatever for a Visual Kei band or song and ask something along the lines of "Are they all men?" or "Such-and-such is a woman, right?" Hardly anyone finds these questions bad in their own right, it's just that they get asked so many times that people get fed up with having to answer them.
