@AnkitSharma This is the point that I'm trying to get across. It's understandable if you were now creating something that's not covered elsewhere. Like M&TV covered more than SFF did, and Lit covers more than SFF does. However comics covers nothing that already exists. And maybe you'll collect the users into one place, but how much good does that do you with the realistic aim of breaking out of beta? Considering Lit has yet to break out of beta.

@Randal'Thor literature and movies both added extar value to SE then SFF, so getting them was good idea. Comics.se on the other hand add nothing new

We're hardly "lacking" comics questions. They come up all the time

@AnkitSharma I think it would make more sense to point out that not every comic can be considered OT on Science Fiction and Fantasy....

The funny thing is that probably actually accomplishes the original goal of keeping dogs out of people's way. Most of those human-plus-dog-in-bag pictures seem to take up less total space than the equivalent dog standing up arrangement would.

@SQB considering that they demonstrated a "don't care much" behavior with many other scenes (*Tom? Who is Tom? No character called Tom in the kid illustrated version of the book we used as a source) I doubt they considered that scene much more than "Hobbits drinking Cola"

Ah! Angela from the Inheritance Cycle kills at least one named male character (and a bunch of canon fodder) in single combat.

Q: List of novels containing Female killing Male in a battle or one-on-one duel?

In Immortals of meluha, the heroine of the novel takes on a bad mouthed guy to a one-on-one duel,in the end she completely overpowers him and had him under her mercy in a sword fight ....The fight scene was nice,so I was wondering are there any other instance like this .

Q: Was Doc ever blamed for the clock tower?

Towards the end of BTTF, we see Doc be approached by a police officer. Doc explains that he's doing a weather experiment as he's wiring up the two light posts. Later that night the clock tower gets struck by lightning and stops working. Was Doc ever blamed for or suspected of breaking the clock? ...

@Edlothiad: Although, for all we know "Barad Dur" may not be about a barred door and could be a really nasty racial slur!

Last time I cycled fast I hit the back of a car so I try and keep slow at the moment.

well, yeah, it'd be silly to exclude all the rest of canon if the original movie doesn't provide an answer
