Q: Djinni in modern times

AlfredI read this novel about 10 or 15 years ago, but it might be a bit older than that. Not very old, though, not much more than 20 years old, I think. I'm pretty sure I read it in english. I don't think it was a translation from some other language. It takes place in our world, in our time period. Bu...

Q: Recent Anime where male main character is being chased by an organization that holds underground fights between monsters

WD40I know the organization was criminal in nature. I remember there was betting on the fights. I cant remember if the monsters were summoned there or if the underground place was a lab where they engineered them. I think some of the monsters were human sized and wore armor if that helps. I do believ...

Ian TimingsI'm looking for a children's science fiction book I vaguely remember from around the late 70's in the UK. From what I remember it features a boy onboard an alien spacecraft where the aliens appear green and robotlike (they and their craft have organic features.) A distinctive feature is their mou...

Q: Why did Shuri not believe in the Ancestral Plane?

MyykroIn Black Panther Wakanda Forever, Shuri obviously does not believe in the Ancestral Plane which informs many of her less successful decisions. But why did she not believe? T'Chala had first-hand experience of it and surely would have told her about it. Same with her father, T'Chaka. Did she ju...

Altair That's the thing: I had seen this cartoon (might be an animated series) a long time ago, like 20 years or so and my memories about it might have slipped away a bit. Some of the details may not belong to a single piece of fiction. Here are those: It's a sci-fi cartoon or animated series. There we...

Q: First science fiction story to use the word "laser"?

releseabeI doubt that the word usage preceded the invention of a functioning laser but I think that is possible since the principle of the laser was understood years before one was created. "Ray guns" I recall seeing in old (1930s) Flash Gordon episodes. "Death rays" were seriously discussed in the 1930s ...

Chelsea FayI've heard people talk about how they don't like the 'strong female character' story in hero movies because they're written bad, but how is a good strong female character written?

Q: When was Trypticon first depicted as a Titan outside of the G1 Cartoon?

Aaargh ZombiesIn the Transformers comics, Trypticon was originally depicted as being a large character on the scale of Omega Supreme or Devestator (Issue #27 - King of the Hill) but not as a Titan (Which didn't exist as a concept at the time). He fought the Dinobots and was maybe 3 times their size. He was dep...

All I remember is that She and another female character have some similarities in looks, so she was adopted or picked up from the road. when she and the female were in the frame, all three male characters only save the female. When she back to the past before she ...

Ugh. So that Harry Potter question now has 33 answers (plus 6 deleted). Sounds "likely to be answered with opinions instead of facts and citations" to me, but what do I know?
