In the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Nebula (when she is firing on her sister Gamora) says: "Out of all our siblings, I hated you least." But then in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Is the quote from the first movie just a throwaway line then, or was there a fundamental shift in ...

A story from my youth, so the description is sort of fragmented. 1) Humans are almost extinct, most that remain are mutated or crossbreeds. 2) Earth's location is forgotten, but main characters find it. 3) Earth surrounded by blockade of derelict ships. 4) Aliens lack the ambition/survival drive ...

There hasn't been any definite proof of what is the magnetic field is made of. Theories say virtual photons but would a gravity field be needed to curve a photon. Some say a sub atomic particle to small to detect. I stay that it is a particle that exists in two dimensions. Not fully in this one w...

In Revenge of the Sith Palpatine says he wants all the Jedi to be killed in his speech and the Republic cheers. What I am wondering is what made them turn on the Jedi? Didn't they know the Jedi were protecting them? They must have seen some value in them if they were giving them missions still...

In the trailer of Thor: Ragnarok, we see that Mjolnir is shattered. So can that be that the Last Infinity Stone is in the HAMMER. You know, it sounds also because T- Tesseract H- HAMMER A- Aether N- Necklace O- Orb S- Sceptre So, Maybe!! Its a theory made by me. So, enjoy :)

I am just curious. It was a Huge, destructive and a famous war. Ministry of Magic could have helped them, but why did it not help? Please help.

In Back to the Future Part II, when Marty and Doc return from 2015 to 1985, Marty asks Doc: "Did we make it? Are we back?" Why did he ask that? Did he have doubts that the time machine was working? They had used it successfully a couple of hours before to jump into 2015. What could have been wro...

I read a book series a few years back about a dystopian type of society that was surrounded by some kind of barrier. The girl (the main character) is looking outside the barrier at night and sees a light, but I believe no one is supposed to be alive outside the barrier because of radiation. Someh...

In Back to the Future Part II, when the old Biff steals the DeLorean in 2015, Marty is just a few yards away. He might not have seen it because he was looking at his future house, but he must have heard it. The street was empty and quiet. Clearly it was not possible not to hear the DeLorean engin...

The fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga has just been released. I have only few memories of the story of the three first episodes, and I didn't see the fourth one. If I remember correctly: The first three episodes form a trilogy, with its own story and most of all plotline...

Lex Luthor is occasionally known for heroics, if only to further his own schemes. When does he have to defeat Superman to save the universe, the world, Metropolis, Louis Lane, etc.?

How was Voldemort planning to return into power (meaning having a body) after the eventuality that he was defeated but one or more horcruxes survived? Was anyone of the more trusted Death Eaters aware of the existence of the horcruxes and able to help him? If not, the horcruxes (except for the ...

We know that some charms need exact hand movement like Wingardium Leviosa. Is there such specific wand movement for Patronus Charm too? I have visited the Harry Potter Wikia of Patronus Charm. It says there is a specific wand movement. Below is the image. This hand movement is used by Luna Lov...

While it is rather common in the real world, that people have siblings (at least among the people I know), I can't recall any Marvel main-character with actual siblings. Well, there are Thor and Loki, but the latter is just adopted. So, as I've only seen the MCU movies yet, my question is: Are t...

We know that Hogwarts students learn how to do nonverbal spells in the 6th year. From which point they are expected to use magic nonverbally from there on out. We also know that some wizards can do wandless magic, such as Hermione with the Confundus Charm at the Quidditch trials. Both of these ...

I have a vague memory of reading a story in my childhood and was hoping someone might be able to help me identify it. I've been googling all day and would be extremely grateful for any ideas! I'm not 100% certain on any of the following details, but they describe a rough impression I have of the ...

There's a book a read a few years ago which I can't remember the name for but can remember some of the plot. Human race has devices implanted in their head so they can share information and communicate through the device Because of this implant the majority of people don't learn how to speak (a...

As a part of his routine aboard the Covenant the android Walter checks the stored embryos. Nothing special has happened by that point, the colony ship and its crew and cargo (~40 crewmembers, 2000 colonists, a number of frozen human embryos) are still supposed to be save (not just presumably s...

When the colony ship Covenant has suffered some severe damage some people aboard the ship die. Why? What happened to that cryopod? At least on-screen, none of the crew seemed to be concerned about establishing the specific nature of the technical failure, which makes me think that the ob...

I remember an episode of a TV series, I guess late 60s/early 70s. The protagonist (I think a writer) seems to have spells where he becomes some kind of SF/Fantasy warrior in an alien or future world. I vaguely remember plastic armour and a sword or ray pistol. It could be that the setting is from...

In her fifth year Hermione clearly knew the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook, upon which the theory exam was partly based, back to front. “What is it this time, Miss Granger?” “I’ve already read chapter two,” said Hermione. “Well then, proceed to chapter three.” “I’ve read that to...

In the Avengers Age of Ultron they make a big deal about picking up Thor's hammer. When they are on the aircarrier the hulk tries to pick it up and he can't... But the aircarrier (or earlier a table) does support it? Does that mean it only works on "living things"? Because when you follow this lo...

So in the post-credit scene but there is no reasonable explanation for that: even if he magically came back to life like the crew of Salazar, Does anyone have a theory or an explanation for that?

When Lockhart tried healing Harry's arm and ended up removing his bones, why did the spell only affect his arm? As bad as Lockhart is with magic, it's not impossible to imagine him turning Harry into a pool of skin soup with the wrong flick of the wrist, so what stopped the spell from dissolving ...

In some of the Harry Potter movies, the train guard at King's Cross station shouts something. It sounds like "Egg jewel on!" Philosopher's stone: Chamber of Secrets: Must be some kind of railway slang, or maybe in a thick accent...

I am remembering a novel from the 80s, I've never read it but the cover was in the vein of Darrell K. Sweet, Don Maitz or Michael Whelan and featured the gates of a city with merchants are coming and going. One merchant is leading a pack animal that is elephant-sized. Ring any bells?
