In Harry Potter 2: Chamber of Secrets, Uncle Vernon says: We even let you have Dudley's second bedroom out of the goodness of our hearts. There is plenty of evidence that there's no "goodness in their hearts" when it comes to Harry. They had no problem with him living under the stairs for a...

In Spiderman: Far From Home, all characters travel in different cities of Europe, and Peter Parker doesn't want to be seen as Spiderman there to avoid to reveal his identity. So in Prag, he used another type of suit, but Is this some kind of reference to another comic book ? Or is it just mad...

Billy Batson is a kid who transforms into a superpowered adult when he says Shazam. But when he grows up, does saying Shazam just give him the suit and powers or does it make him look any different?

We've seen in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame two Snaps to be performed, the first by Thanos Each of them were really soft, happening with a delay by becoming dust. But in Spider-Man: Far From Home, in the first minutes of the movie, we can see It's so sudden, no warning, no a...

I read this old short story in an anthology (about 25 years ago) but can't remember the title. The plot was that human colonists/astronauts arrive at a planet inhabited by rather primitive aliens. Caught unawares, they were captured and became slaves and beasts of burden to the aliens. Many ge...

A group of kids break into the building, which used to be where a strange scientist worked, possibly a relative of one of the kids. They find a machine invented by ...

There's this one short story where some people or some guy gets stranded on an island on another planet. He starts recording messages for himself so when he's old and senile he's basically making fun of himself for being an old man who doesn't know anything.

Imagine a space marine chapter which has lost contact with most of the Imperium (in particular, with Mars and other forge worlds) for centuries or even millenia, or a chapter which has fallen out with the Adeptus Mechanicus and can no longer send techmarines to it for training. Assuming such a c...

I read this manga last year but I accidentally left it after reading only two chapters. The story was about a high school couple or more like childhood friends. The guy has an angelic face and is loved by all and he is ridiculously popular. The girl is kind of a caretaker of the guy (that is how...

I read this book forever ago. It is a Native American inspired story about a girl whose village needs food. Her grandmother had a vision and sends her to travel across the country with a man (no real romance there, he was more family friend/guide). I think his name was Coyote something I can’t r...

I think I read this somewhere in the late 1980s to the early 1990s. My grandmother bought me the first book in the series, which was a fairly thin paperback, and I bought a later one (maybe the second one) on my own. It follows a young girl (maybe early teenage years) who gets a job babysitting a...

Whenever spaceships open up to space, the air rushes out. That’s because space is a vacuum. The atmosphere on earth doesn’t get sucked into the vacuum of space due to gravity. Many sci-fi spaceships have artificial gravity - most notably in Star Trek. So why doesn’t artificial gravity work on the...

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Miles experiences a significant growth-spurt after being bitten, which means that his pants no longer fit him (see around 14:05). However, he's shown wearing his shoes shortly after that, and they presumably still fit him (see around 14:17). How is this pos...

I was re-reading Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox and couldn't help but miss how Artemis contacted Mulch when he and Holly are stuck in the trunk of the car.
