Q10 GIMME X• X is extremely negative in meaning as it is used to refer to someone who stays at home all the

time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)

• Usually an X person has nothing better to do with their life so they pass the time by watching anime, playing videogames, surfing the internet (X is also used to refer to a nerd/hacker/programmer).

• In the Western culture, people confuse X to be something positive like "Guru". If you think about it, it's not really good to be called a guru if it means you are a total loser who can't socialize with other people except through the Internet.

Q11 AGAIN, GIMME X

• According to urban dictionary, X is a place of sheer genius and utter stupidity, and there is often a thin line dividing the two. here you will see a state of mind that exists in most human beings, but is rarely if ever shown. this is a place where taboos do not exist. X cannot simply be regarded as a simple website or imageboard. it is so much more than code. X is alive and constantly changing. this is a subculture, a self-governing sect of the world. rich in history and foundation. to become a X user is to speak a different language. to leave behind any methods of conventional thinking you once knew.

Q12 A MOVIE IS ABOUT TO BE MADE ON THIS COMIC CHARACTER, GIMME THE NAME OF THE CHARACTER AND THE ACTOR WHO WILL BE PLAYING HIM

Q13 X PLEASE?

• S'chn T'gai X is his full name, generally considered unpronouncable to humans.

• The parallel universe version of X is distinguished physically by his goatee. Science fiction blog io9 said that X's beard in the episode introduced "the best shorthand ever for evil parallel universe duplicates".

• When X re-released the 3D version of ‘Y' in 2012, he made a minor fix to the film. When he was asked about this scene revision, he was quoted as saying "Oh, there is one shot that I fixed. It's because Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is one of the US' leading astronomers, sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at that time of year, in that position in 1912, when Z is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen, and with my reputation as a perfectionist, I should have known that and I should have put the right star field in. So I said, 'All right, you son of a bitch, send me the right stars for the exact time, 4:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, and I'll put it in the movie.' So that's the one shot that has been changed.“
