Something recently reminded me of a science fiction novel I read back around the mid-1980s (say, somewhere in the range of 1983-1986). It was written in English, published in hardback, and I checked it out from a public library in Indiana. I don't think I recognized the author's name from anythin...
Aida’s Inhuman powers are attributed by Fitz and May to experiments on transferring Inhuman DNA done within the Framework, suggesting that the transfer was done there:
COULSON: No, no, no! She has Inhuman powers now? Can we get a break,
please? Can we get one break?
MAY: Guess they we...
Vijay Nadeer is (was?) an Inhuman who was the brother of the Inhuman-hating Senator Nadeer. She kindly shot him and dumped him in the ocean.
It was heavily implied that he survived, since upon hitting the bottom, he underwent Terrigenesis again (not the usual procedure for dead Inhumans), so it ...
After Fitz refuses to "choose" Aida, she devise a plan to make him and S.H.I.E.L.D. suffer, and restore her to power of the sort she enjoyed as Madame Hydra in the Framework.
Some quotes make it seem like she has some supernatural plan to supplant the world outside the Framework with one simila...
The Mormonts of Bear Islands has been loyal to the Starks which we come to know in Season 5. When Stannis Baratheon asked them to pledge fealty to him. A raven sent by Lady Lyanna Mormont carried a letter that announced her refusal saying, "Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, who...
I've been a fan of Mike Carey's Lucifer comic series, for its believable portrait of a fallen angel. The series spun off from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, which established this incarnation of Lucifer Morningstar.
In short, Lucifer gets tired of the role given to him by God, so he abandons Hell an...
As some of us (if not all) know, Kara Zor-El and Mon-El are from close planets (are they?) hence the super powers. In the Supergirl episode where Supergirl breaks into the mother-ship to save Mon-El and Lena, she was able to defeat the guards easily. To my understanding, she shouldn't have been a...
Short story about a guy thinking of leaving his spouse by substituting a lifelike android of self to cover in his absence. But when he finally decides he shouldn't follow through, he lays back down bed with his wife and when he rests his head on her chest he realizes from the sound hat she has al...
In Rogue One, destruction caused by single laser fire of Death Star looked similar to nuclear weapon destruction. But, seeing it was given such a big focus (even Empire was showing it off to create fear), I wondered whether there're nuclear weapons in Star Wars universe.
Also, I see TIE fighters...
Watching this
makes you think that Skeletor isn't as bad as it seems. It was really so bad for fun?
How did Voldemort not know that Avada Kedavra wouldn't work on Harry even after the Forbidden Forest attempt? Wasn't it foolish to try again after he came back to life? Why wasn't he thinking of alternate plans?
So there were many references/parallels made to
(or I assume him) in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, especially at
In particular, I was wondering if someone could explain them all
as I imagine they are not all from a single work by him, or did were there comparisons to other individuals at ...
In Batman V Superman, Lex sent some photographs to Clark and some papers written with You let your family die to Bruce ?
Later in the movie, they both realized that it was all planned by Lex, but who did they think the sender was, at first ?
In Return on the Jedi, the Empire made a shield around just the Death Star and a small part of the moon of Endor.
In Rogue One, the Empire made a shield around the entire planet, Scarif.
If it can shield an entire planet, it can also surely shield a moon (plus nearby space station).
Why no...
The Dark Lord has forced Mr. Ollivander to make a wand specifically for him. Does Mr. Ollivander do that service to ordinary paying customers?
I am asking this because the question How does a wand choose its new owner if the wand was created for the owner? seems to assume this. But we only see...
If I recall right, a Pokedex revealed a ghost Pokemon that was creating an illusion. Were they ever used in a novel manner, like to communicate or identify tracks?
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol:2 credita original ravagers team members get back together..
There was this woman looking very similar to Hela.
Are they another species?
There is a spy book about a girl whose name is M. I can't remember the book's name so please help me.
Therefore, Voldemort would be entirely dependent on the Elixir, and if it ran out, or was contaminated, or if the Stone was stolen, he would die just like any other man.
As said in the quote, if the Elixir is contaminated/defiled or the Stone stolen, and a dependent user isn't able to drink ...
I've read a lot about the special bond a wand makes with it's owner. Examples taken from this answer with more emphasis added:
Further, some wands are more “choosy” than others. Phoenix feather wands are picky:
Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to
potential owners...
When Harry 'dies' from Voldemort casting Avada Kedavra in the forest, why does he make Narcissa check if Harrry is still alive?
I am not asking why Narcissa was chosen, only why anyone was chosen at all
Before then there is only one recorded moment when the aptly named "Killing Curse" did not d...
Considering this movie was all but purging the Jedi clan, by the later second half, Palpatine orders all his followers/Stormtroopers to execute all 66 of the Jedi (so i understand). Of the 66, how many were actually saved/rescued?
I often hear/read people saying that The Witcher books became popular because of the games, but I personally don't believe that.
Recently I heard an interview with the Brazilian translator of the books (Tomasz Barcinski) where he said that The Witcher book franchise has sold over 5 million copi...
Darth Vader sets a trap for Luke at Bespin by capturing his friends and torturing them. The torture triggers a force vision in Luke. Lucky for him, Yoda was nearby to tell him it was the future he was seeing. Based on this intel, Luke flies off to save them, falling into the trap.
If Yoda had n...
This story is probably from an anthology. It involves a kid or teenager who is secretly developing a black hole in his room. Eventually things get out of hand.
I believe this was written in English.
