What i can remember from the manga is that the protagonist confesses to a girl but gets rejected,after that he walks away depressed and gets hit by a car. After that he wakes up i...

This would be a short story, probably late 70' or early 80's. It involved three boys from three different alien (to each other) races. One of the boys belonged to aliens who had psionic powers, and he never walked anywhere, he always levitated. The boys get in trouble over something and the levit...

The main character (possibly a woman) is told by another character (possibly a shaman) that their perception of the universe is extremely limited but can be temporarily opened. The main character agrees to do this but is warned that the outcome will be psychologically damaging because they will s...

Arthur Weasley responded when he came to Harry Potter recieved letter from Dumbledore: Arthur Weasley: Dumbledore must know you're here. Doesn't miss a trick, that man. Fred: No. George: This lot won't come cheap. Why did Arthur Weasley say, "Doesn't miss a trick, that man" here?

Seeing as how the Wraith could... In the series, they claimed the change was a failure because the wraith turned humans didn't magically all of sudden have the same set of morals that humans today still deal with. Don't humans go through years of moral and ethical education? The difference and b...

The aliens have been winning the war and the humans realize that their teenagers look similar, so they train teenagers to be warriors infiltrate their camp. On the way in, they are ambushed and the captain of the squad got separated from his team and knocked out. The team believes their captain i...

For some reason I recently remembered an animation that I saw on TV at some point when I was a child. I only ever saw it once and don't remember when. This would have been shown on British TV at some point between the mid 80s and early 90s, probably at a child-friendly time of day. I don't know i...

In Consider Phlebas, the Culture seem to be spreading throughout the Milky Way, but having very little to do with other civilizations. The Idiran war seems to be forcing the culture to reevaluate their stance on galactic diplomacy. Fast forward to the events of The Player Of Games, the Culture is...

Harry talked to Sirius twice (from Gryffindor common room) and Lupin once (from Umbridge's office) using floo network in the Order of the Phoenix while they were at Grimmauld Place. So that means 12, Grimmauld Place was connected to floo network. What happens if someone uses the floo network and ...

I just read the short story "The Black Terror Rides Again" by Thaddeus Howze. It's just a few-minutes read and much more interesting if you learn about the characters bit by bit through the story, so do go and read it before checking this spoilertag: I don't know much about superhero fiction, al...

It's a battle royal type anime where the players are given matches on their phones. Set in modern Tokyo. As players they are given a gift that will allow them to do something awesome. The players have to fight to the death and the loser will be digitized out leaving little blocks missing in the g...

In the first Thor film (2011), Loki visits Thor in his exile in Earth and tells him that their father died, that "the burden of the throne" has fallen to him, and that their mother has forbidden his return. Why did he tell him Odin was dead? It seems to me that this lie was completely unnecessary...

On his first Christmas at Hogwarts, Harry received his invisibility cloak with a note which said: Your father left this in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well. But there is no name/initial at the end of this note, so who sent it to Harry?

During Thor's interrogation, Agent Coulson exits the room and Loki enters and informs him that his father Odin had passed away and that he cannot undo his banishment. Not only does he communicate with Thor, but he goes to the area where Mjölnir is embedded in the rock and attempts to lift it, wit...

I'm trying to find the title and author of a short novel I read about 10 years ago. The book was in English, and the writer was a woman, and not a "big name" as far as I recall. The story concerned an alien (possibly female?), a member of a race which did not perform mathematics as an intellectua...

In the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film, we meet a secondary antagonist, Scapelli, who apparently is a professional rival to Mario and Luigi's plumbing business. Near the end of the film, Koopa de-evolves Scapelli into an business suit-wearing ape using a de-evolution gun. I was watching this film aga...

This is a movie I've only heard a couple of details about a while back, but it's intrigued me ever since. It's a live-action movie about Hercules but, according to what I heard, it's somewhat realistic in terms of the events Hercules encounters. The only example I remember is that Hercules is d...

spoilers for seasons 6 and 7 of The Clone Wars In season 6 of TCW, Fives tries to uncover the truth about the clones' inhibitor chips, ultimately dying in Rex's arms as he's killed. In season 7, during the events of Order 66, Ahsoka seeks out the report Rex made about Fives' findings to learn ab...

I've been trying to remember the name of this show. It aired during the 90s sometime. It logically must have been between 1993 and 1999, but I can't narrow it down any more than that. It featured 2 or 3 kids (I think there were 2 main and sometimes a 3rd) who had a computer in their attic (or ...

In the Star Wars franchise, the role of Darth Maul changes and I'm wondering why both within the story but also it. In other words, has Dave Filoni, et al, given any insight on this? At first, he's little more than the assassin-apprentice of Darth Sidious who mortally wounds Qui-Gon but is then c...

I've only seen the first movie, so apologies if later movies explain this. In the first movie, presumably, through the butterfly effect, major world events would change due to Bill and Ted's kidnapping of historical figures and other interference. However, every time the duo returns to San Dimas,...

Steve Zodiac appears to have been born in 2030, making him in his mid 30's during the time that Fireball XL5 was set (2065). However, I came across the following comment Steve made in a story from the 1966 TV21 Annual (see attachment): "Court-martial! Who cares - what's a few years in jail compar...

A B-movie from early 2000s, probably. It might have been based on a comic. A teenage boy (young adult, maybe) somehow discovers an alien ship that belonged to some kind of space rangers. On the ship, the guy learns that humanity was seeded to Earth by some carnivore arachnids millions of years ag...

In the Netflix series, Nina seems to forget anything she learns about the keys, or even any events surrounding them, nearly as soon as she learns it. The Locke children's initial working hypothesis, that it has something to do with age, is clearly wrong. There are plenty of adults who have no tro...

I would have read this in the late 2010s, though I'm not sure how old it was at that point. It was picked up from a local library in the Western United States. I am 50% sure there was at least one sequel. It's also likely that either it or its sequel had a glowing tree on the cover. Both titles w...
