Bluebear turns out not to be the last of his kind, so why does Prof. Nightingale admit him to the Nocturnal Academy? The reader doesn't know at the point where Bluebear is admitted that he's actually one of a race of colourful bears, but surely a nocturnomath would know. Or does his uniqueness ...

In "Opportunity Knocks," Mona enters the house of her son in order to leave a welcome note for her son's housesitter, who is supposed to arrive there the next day. She brings with her the keys to the house in order to leave them for the housesitter who is arriving the next day. To her surprise,...

In the Senate, and later again in his office, chancellor Palpatine tells Anakin how Darth Plagueis taught him everything before being slain by Palpatine. Does this include the power to save lives and to make midi-chlorians create life? Palpatine later tells Anakin (now Darth Vader) that only Plag...

At the end of the movie, it is clearly not Carvey getting run into by the car, but it is clearly a stunt double, as he has a different style of hair than Carvey. However, even after the take with the car accident, the stunt double is still seen lying on the road in front of the car, even after t...

I know that Stan Lee's final cameo was in Avengers: Endgame. However, I would assume that the MCU is still going to honour him in some way: whether it be some clear cut reference or something a little more minor. Was there a reference to Stan Lee in WandaVision?

A while back, I asked a question on the Shrek Headscratchers page on TV Tropes and someone answered beginning with the following sentence: A game on the DVD only allows you to rescue Fiona. What is this DVD game? How do you play it? Is it like the Dating Game parody that the Mirror does in Shre...

If you look at this video, Asajj Ventress hacked Savage Opress merely by touching his head. This is more impressive than Jedi Mind Tricks. But, how did she do it? Is this some Sith power as she was trained in Sith arts by Dooku himself? This is surprising because ...

There is this movie I saw with my dad back when I was still small (like 13 years ago or something). It's a relatively old animated movie, probably Japanese but can't remember to be honest. What I remember about the movie is that the main character is a young cyborg boy and he is living in a futur...

I don't understand how/why Mccoy would be able to help with the torpedo setup. He's a doctor not an engineer.

Help me identify a 90's gothic cartoon. All I can remember are three main characters. One of them was a dark knight summoned from his grave in order to kill a warrior in every episode. This warrior was helped by a wizard/priest. The whole theme of the animation was really dark. As much as I can r...

Near the end of Chapter 3 of Phantastes the flower fairies get hold of a cat and proceed to forcefully and violently “remove” electrical sparks from the the feline: ...by this time the party which had gone towards the house, rushed out again, shouting and screaming with laughter. Half of them we...

The Inkheart trilogy was pretty popular in the early 2000's, at popular enough that the author, Cornelia Funke, sold the film rights to all three books to New Line Cinema. The first book was adapted and a film was released in 2008. It was barely a financial success (making $62M on a $60M budget)....

In the animated movie Justice League Dark: Apokolips War there is a character purple in colour whom I cannot identify. Who is this character and what are her powers?

I would like to read the following stories in chronological order, according to story events. I am not sure if they are standalone stories, or meant to be read in a particular order. I am unsure how they fit together. Aliens: Dead Orbit (Dark Horse comics series) Aliens: Dust to Dust (Dark Hors...

I remember watching an animated show during my childhood(I was born 2004 so must've been around 2008-2014). The main premise of the show was about a group of friends that each owned a unique cool car. And the show was sci-fi. With their cars they would fight against robots in different contests w...

In the end of episode 7 of WandaVision, Agatha says the line: "And I killed Sparky too!", revealing that she was the one that killed him in episode 5. Why did she do that? How would that help her in her goal?

In the end of the 5th episode of WandaVision, Pietro Maximoff turns up- But he is the Evan Peters version of him, not Aaron Taylor-Johnson's. From Wanda's perspective, she hasn't seen this man in her life, and there was nothing indicating that he is her brother. So why did Wanda recognize this ma...

I'm trying to find the name of a novel I read in maybe 1975 where an evil hacker was taking control of a city's computers. I think he was doing this to extort money from the city. The part I remember most clearly is that the hacker demonstrated that he could change the timing of the city's traffi...

In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark has the problem of poisoning from his Arc Reactor. He stops this by The new element was created and in the comics was actually Vibranium! However, in the MCU, it's definitely not; so what is it called? I've heard extrapolations that it was called Starkium, and based on ...

All I remember is watching it in b&w it involved 2 kids & an older gentleman that could have been the granddad. They were on a beach where there were HUGE worms or cocoons. They spoke with an accent & the beach was along cliffs (i.e if you was to see the Irish shore line). The man was able to tel...

In WandaVision, the hexagonal shape comes up a lot, and there seems to be a specific reason for it, as we can see Jimmy writing it on the board. Things that are hexagonal in WandaVision include: The shape of the Hex, the intros for the first few episodes, the pattern on Wanda's blanket, etc. Som...

A dear friend has been trying for years to remember the name of a book she once read without success, and since a lot of y'all are well-read nerds I figured trawling the hive-mind might help. Here's what I know about the book and its plot, as described by my friend (some details could definitely ...
