The Marvel Cinematic Universe has famously introduced us to the concept of multiple/alternate universes. We were first introduced solidly to the multiverse within the MCU in Loki Season 1 1. And has introduced us to the concept of the Sacred Timeline - Earth-199999. There is also a meta-concept ...

In Death's End, we are introduced to sophon-free rooms where sophons are unable to enter. Given their small size, what is stopping them from entering the room when the door opens for someone to enter or exit?

I read this short story at least 30 years ago, probably in a collection. At the beginning of the story, some kind of "time machine" already exists. But it is not very efficient : it allows to look at a small area of the distant past as if through a spyglass, and sometimes to bring back objects. M...

In Frank Herbert's Dune, the people who are native to the Planet Arrakis are known as "Fremen". Whilst the planet Arrakis is under imperial rule, the Fremen have certain freedoms which they have hard-fought for. One of the ways they've fought for that freedom is by having bribed the Space Guild t...

The trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) features Dafne Keen reprising her role as Laura/X-23, which she originally played in Logan (2017). Folks who've watched Deadpool & Wolverine know that the Wolverine in the film what about Laura? Is she a variant, or is this the same character we met in...

I've been scouring the internet for an anthology I read in middle school (sometime between 2007-2010) that combined science fiction and fantasy short stories.

In Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), Wade Wilson is kidnapped from his home timeline by “Paradox,” a low level executive working for the TVA, from whom he learns that the death of his timeline’s Wolverine means the end of the entire timeline and the death of his friends. Wade responds by reclaiming hi...

I wish to ask about a post apocalyptic film, with odd cars and UK and US actors (as far as I recall) screened in the 80s and 90s. My recollection would suggest it was made any time between 1968-1982, but I would think the early 70s is the more likely time in which it was filmed. Key details - ...

I'm looking for a book I believe I read in middle school, which would have been 1999-2002. I wish I could recall anything about the characters other than I'm fairly certain it's told from a female POV. I can't recall if she's a princess or assassin or just a normal person, but I feel like there w...
