No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It started with a 2 minute scene that plays before the Marvel intro. Like, aren't they required to start with the intro by the MPA?

There's no legal requirement for a movie to have anything.

Most people contract for certain things, but it's all negotiable. Say a big time director like Nolan wanted to have no credits at all; he'd have to make a lot of concessions to the Screen Actors Guild and the other unions, but he could do it if he really wanted to.

Why did Marvel not put their intro at the start of a Marvel film? Likely because a director convinced someone this would make it more impacting.

Afaik there is no legal requirement to have the those at the start it likely is a contractual thing.

I'm very uncertain about what various groups requires these days but format violations are usually just fines - a famous example of that being Star Wars which got into a fight with the writer's guild. The actual statutory opening credits are pretty few and most of the more visual ones (like the Marvel one) would only be enforced by a private contact between Marvel and the production company... so if Marvel was okay omitting their usual opening crawl there'd be no legal obstacle.

The internal MPA regulations have gotten very lax over time. My understanding is that there isn't a time limit between the opening scene and the opening credits.

It was technically the last half of the previous movie, so the intro isn't required.
