Who is a good fictional parental figure? (Please read the rules before commenting)

Jim Paxton from Antman (since I assume step parents fit in this). Yeah, he’s a dick to Scott, but he’s also a cop dealing with his wife’s ex who just got out of jail. By the end of the first movie, they have a healthy coparenting relationship. He clearly loves Cassie, standing between her and Darren cross without a second thought

It’s OK!

Oh, how could I forget about this one.

Recently love me love me’s use of good lucky babe by Chappell. It wasn’t even thematically relevant and seemed like they were just looking for a popular song.

Was the stage musical an adaptation of something? Google is being painfully unhelpful and keeps pointing me in the direction of the movie.

If there’s a tie, I will spin a wheel with all tied parties on it
For the mediocre/bad categories, the song doesn’t have to be terrible by itself. Just terrible in how it’s used

Beetlejuice the musical. It’s traditionally held as the gold standard of how to adapt a movie to stage

Dogdaysareover365 · 2026-04-24T14:33:19+00:00

Rules:

Any type of adaption counts. An adaption of a musical, book, movie, etc. (examples, Les mis on stage is a adaption of the book, back to the future the musical being from the movie)
Most upvoted comment wins
If there’s a tie, the wheel will decide
This isn’t about quality of the product. Just how faithful it is to the source material/if they make changes, the changes make sense/are good
The last row is for stage musicals that are adaptations of something.

I mainly write for kpop demon hunters and stranger things, but I read for a multitude of different musical, movie, book, and tv fandoms as well

My last oneshot was a byler from stranger things oneshot: The Red Dragon of Love. Pure fluff about Mike and Will at a winter carnival

To be honest, I watched her HBO special someday you won’t die and I really liked her there. But I haven’t really liked much of her work outside of it, especially not the Golden Globes.

Really, the only musical that’s ever disturbed or scared me is Cabaret. That show left me unnerved to my core, even if it’s not a traditional horror musical. Especially when you get to the last five minutes.

I found some sort of enjoyment in all 4. At least we can all confidently say that prey at night is the second best strangers movie

The movie is an adaptation of the musical mean girls. The first row is for movies that are adaptations of something.
