1. Interesting, depending. Mushu in Mulan, hilarious. Smaug in The Hobbit, awesome. I haven't seen the Hobbit movies so I wouldn't know about that one.

2. I do, if I'm safe. Rain on the window, lightning in the distance, oh, that's fun. When the power goes out and you're worried about tornadoes, not so fun.

3. Mountain Dew and ice cream. I'm a simple guy with simple pleasures. :)

I'm generally put off by dragons in any story now. It was all fine and good in ASOIAF, but it's just become mega tropey, especially the notion of riding them. I was mildly curious about what all the fuss was about Fourth Wing, but then after a few pages, nope. I slogged through Priory of the Orange Tree, which had some merits, but the beginning trials for Tané felt pretty cringe due to just peddling tropes. I'm probably an outlier for generally disliking that book.
