I mean, the guy lives in a world were things like aliens, gods, sorcerers, plant people and talking apes are real and very much public knowledge. And the heroes are aware there's a government faction conspiring against them. Why would anything the Question says be considered stranger than what already exists in the DCAU?
shareZealots always make people uncomfortable.
Spenser with an "S", like the poet.
Because he took conspiracy theories to the extreme, always living in a world of anxiety and suspicion. The guy thought mouth wash wasn't meant to help teeth, but to send out signals so the government could locate you, and that the plastic tip on the end of shoelaces sent out radio signals. That type of paranoia suggests mental instability.
shareLike Batman said, he was "wound a bit too tightly." That served to make him arguably the best character added during the JLU years - with all due respect to Green Arrow - but I definitely don't think I would have wanted to share a Watchtower with him.
I wish we could have gotten an episode of him dealing with one of the founding members beyond his conversation with Superman in "Question Authority" (one of the best scenes in the entire series).
Conspiracy THEORY...not theories. All were interconnected. Girl Scouts behind crop circles. Boy bands part of some plot (he never specified) and of course a secret 32nd ice cream flavor!
I think the Question would have been entertaining to be in more episodes. But given he has seemingly weird notions and goes through people's trash, I can see why they think he's a kook (which is funny, coming from The Flash).
Exactly this. Those two scenes I think showcase why he is viewed that way by the League. He sounds pretty crazy when he talks about boy bands behind something and girl scouts doing crop circles and stuff, and then when he says he digs through everyone's trash.
So yea the world they are in has lots of strange stuff but he's seeing stuff that seems strange for even there along with odd behavior.
I loved the Question in this show. His characterization was very balanced. He was played for laughs, but he wasn't clownish. He was played staight so he was actually quite serious, but not toooo serious. Most of the characters on this how drive me nuts. Green Lantern was the worst, but most of them have a stick up their butts.
