Theoretically, if Zeus and his siblings were able to hold down and chop Kronos into pieces, effectively "killing" him, could there be a way for the gods or goddesses to die as well? And since the Titans were actually stronger than the gods, would it take as much power/people to kill them, or woul...

Ripley asked that to the panel during her inquest in Aliens, but the events of Alien Covenant show some signs of the purest forms of stupidity in the actions of humans during these missions. Can anyone explain why in Alien Covenant a team of trained space travelers moving a cargo of 2000 colonis...

In the canon Star Wars comic, Obi-Wan & Anakin, the Jedi pair travel to the planet Carnelion IV, where a distress signal has been sounded. The planet is ravaged by war, with its most advanced technology being a walking tank or something. The people use bullets and airships. All I want to know is ...

What are the things clones sleep in? I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find it. All I know is that they show up in "Clone Cadets"

The comic begins with a siege on a castle by orcs(I think?) and the king, who had been bent on dominating the land, realizes the battle is lost. He becomes mortally wounded and dies. In the future (still medieval times), acolytes revive him and he takes on a fiery/demonic appearance having new po...

In both the Flashpoint storyline and Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox animated adaptation, we find out at the end that the Flashpoint timeline was created by I can maybe understand why this would result in a butterfly effect causing changes to other superheroes on Earth (e.g. perhaps a p...

at the end of The Pyramid at the End of the World Bill learns that The Doctor was lying and is still blind so she rushed back to the Alien Monks and confirms that they can restore his sight and giving them her consent to rule the world (she represented The Doctor who at the time was President of ...

Supposedly the (ancient) builders of the first jump gates are unknown. The Vorlons are ancient, and keep many secrets from the younger races. We know the Vorlons have built de novo jumpgate technology in the form of the Thirdspace artifact. The ships of the various First Ones each have a unique ...

In The Shadow of the Torturer, the main character Severian goes to a brothel with his friend and fellow torturer Roche. This brothel is called "House Azure".

and in the end some army attacks the place they are going to send the question from, forcing the guy who first heard it, to ask the question, I also think there was a side plot about his son being there too

The prophecy of the Neverine said that they would return and drive out the outlanders and return the dumner to ancestor worship. In the end the loss of Vivec's godhood meant Vivec's city was destroyed and the island of Vardenfell being almost fully abandoned, with the Argonians using the opportun...

Bathrooms at Hogwarts have water closets and porcelain faucets, which are relatively modern inventions, considering Hogwarts was founded over 1000 years ago. Are the toilets magical, and upgrade themselves to modern standards, or have they been renovated (by house-elves, I suppose)? How often do ...

A probe (which might have looked like a stuffed animal or other toy) was sent to recruit a child or children because human DNA was needed for another colony of humans on another planet? Of course they do not seem to be humans till the very end when they lift their visors.

I'm looking for the title of the movie I've seen on a bad quality pirate vhs in Hungary, in 1986 or 87. It was in color, and probably recent stuff then, but not sure. It's about a man who gets invincible. Any wound he gets heals completely in seconds. In the beginning there is some scene with the...

I'm looking for the title of the movie I've seen on a bad quality pirate VHS in Hungary, in 1986 or 87. It was in color, and probably recent stuff then, but not sure. It's about some special weapon. Not sure if it's some laser or some other kind. It makes people evaporate. The only scene I can ...

Severian, the main character and narrator of The Book of the New Sun, is a notoriously unreliable narrator, according to many Gene Wolfe fans. There's no doubt that Severian often leaves out information (such as answers to questions he thinks he learns the answers to, 1 & 2), and that he most li...

Through the movie we come to learn that Ego had hired Yondu to pick up his children to deliver them to him. We also know that he was paying Yondu quite a lot for each job as well. When Yondu finds out what happened to the others he stops delivering them and this just so happens to have been Peter...

Through the movie we learn that Ego had hired Yondu in the past to deliver some of his children to him. We also learn that when Yondu eventually stops delivering the children at some point in time, happening to be Peter being the last one he picks up. At this point, or before Yondu, is there any...

Many times in the prequel movies, whenever force users were disarmed, they didn't attempt to use any telekinesis to to give them an advantage, even though they were disarmed. For example, when Count Dooku was about to be killed by Anakin, Why didn't he use a force push on him before Anakin killed...

In the movie X-Men: Apocalypse, there is a little girl called Nina, who is according the plot the daughter of Magneto. This girl apparently has a power related with animals or nature. I was searching on the Internet about her and apparently this "Nina" is Anya in the comics. I have 2 questions...

My question is what happened to Remus Lupin and his wife Tonks? Who killed them? I watched the movies and also read the books but I didn't understand that part.

In this scene, Aragorn was with Legolas and Gimli killing several Uruk-Khai. When Legolas hears the horn of gondor,Aragorn hears it as well. Aragorn comes to the aid, but he was surrounded by many Uruk-Khai. If we are going to look at Aragorn's situation, he has ...

I'm looking for stories that involve a young (usually teen) protagonist who finds out they have a power when they turn a certain age. I know I've read and watched a few but I'm having trouble pinpointing them. An example would be "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" finding out she's a witch at aged 16. I...

There may or may not be unhidden spoilers from the novel here. While watching the fourth episode of American Gods, where Laura and Shadow's mutual history has been revealed (to be the first major deviation from the novel), I noticed that the novel didn't explain what exactly it was Shadow did ...

When the rings were being handed out, the only races that were given magic rings are Men, Elves and Dwarves. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest...fairest of all beings.Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mounta...

We know that characters in HP world become ghosts after their deaths if they were scared of death and they have chosen to die. "I was afraid of death. I chose to remain behind. I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn't to have… well, that is neither here nor there ... in fact, I am neither h...

We know that Yondu didn't deliver Quill to Ego to spare him the fate of Ego's other children. But this creates a problematic dichotomy. If Yondu knew that the children he delivered were being killed, then the fact that he kept Quill does not redeem him because of the staggering number of deaths ...

Dethethor, the 26th Steward of Gondor and father of Boromir and Faramir, was born in 2930TA and was around 11 yrs old around the time of the Battle of Five Armies (2941TA). Therefore, during his early adulthood around the 2950s or so, it must have been a relatively quiet and peaceful time (at le...

It seems that the Kings (or at least the Chieftains) of the North remembered, since they fostered their heirs with Elrond. Did the kings in the south remember that Elrond was their long-uncle? Did the stewards remember after the kings were gone?

I recall, from Legends, a quote along the lines of; There is no Mando word for hero. To stand up for yourself, your family, your clan, that's expected. It's only cowards we needed to find a word for. This directly relates to Mando'a culture. Can anyone remind me of the origins of this q...

I've been re-reading some Sandman stories, and this time it was "Ramadan", exquisitely drawn by P. Craig Russell. One thing towards the end confused me, and I hadn't even noticed it in my first reading - "the other egg of the Phoenix", as told by the boy walking on the streets of destroyed Bagh...

In the linked/related questions sidebar, there is an icon inconsisty. Questions with an accepted answer have a (green) hexagonal icon, and questions without an accepted answer have a (grey) rectangular icon. Is this a bug?

This is a tricky one. I remember reading this story about an astronaut being stranded on Mars, most likely an explorer. There were no colonies on the planet. He was alone. He wandered around and found some sort of installation, which lead him into an underground complex. There, he met an alien....

Hi there I'm brand new here. I have read most of Lovecraft's stuff at one time or another in my life, but I seem to recall a story which had the main character wandering through an old part of the city an into a sealed house, where he encounters some kind of Puritanical Evil Preacher type (this i...

At the end of Return of the Jedi we're shown that Anakin, Yoda, and Obi-wan are Force ghosts. At that time they were one with the Force, their living energy had been returned to it, but they were able to maintain their consciousness and appear to Luke. My question is: over time, did they eventu...

After watching Pirate of the Caribbean 1 yesterday, I decided to watch the sequel today. With the first still fresh in my mind, I noticed that Jack, the monkey, was still cursed from the Aztec gold, despite the fact that no one else was, and that the Curse had been lifted from everyone else (as f...
