When we are introduced to werewolves with Lupin he doesn't seem to have any special characteristic while in human form. We can presume, since is canon information, that any wound he inflicts will leave lasting scars but not much more. Yet we meet Fenrir Greyback who, while in human form, shows s...

It seems like Stark's ability to lead is dependent on the plot at best. What are some cases where he actually shows decent communication skills that would be expected of a CEO? I would really like to be proven wrong, but my suspension of disbelief is lost with the new spiderman movie. Spoiler ab...

I'm trying to remember/find a science fiction movie released within the past 15 years about certain people selected to survive the massive flooding in futuristic arc ships. Thanks

In Spiderman Homecoming, So does Thor have to pay taxes on Earth? I am adding the comics tag because I do not recall this being mentioned in the movies. I imagine that it was just a kid question in the movie, but I wonder if there is a real answer.

In Spiderman Homecoming, So who bought the Avengers Tower and what do they plan to do with the building?

I'm looking for a short story I saw on Reddit once, but apparently didn't save or bookmark. It's about how, in the far future, humanity finally achieves some technological singularity and "transcends" to a higher plane of existence. In doing so, however, humanity abandons dogs, their partners of ...

I'm looking for a movie I saw on TV once (when I shouldn't have lol) about 23 years ago. There was this slug alien or something that attached to people's backs and made their tongues long and killed people when they kissed them. This old lady picks up the slug and cradles it like a baby in her ar...

Reading the first few chapters of the Sorcerer's Stone, I became very curious about the Hogwarts letter over these lines. ...and the address was written in emerald-green ink. ...held up the letter so [the Dursleys and Harry] could read the green ink address... (both from Chapter ...

Is there something akin to Internet in the Star Wars movies? By Internet I mean an interconnected set of computers that can transmit information to each other using some form of wired connection (e.g. fiber optic cables or equivalent) or wireless connection (e.g. WiFi via routers or data transf...

For some time, there have been rumblings about a ‘Damage Control’ TV series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man: Homecoming features several references to, and essentially has its plot kicked off by, the Department of Damage Control, formed by Tony Stark and the U.S. Government in t...

In the Spider-Man homecoming movie it's displayed that it accurs 8 years after new York battle. Is the timeline right?

I'm just watched the Alien: Covenant. I've watched the Prometheus Quite long back just not fully recover the story.So i couldn't exactly relate the 2 movies. But somewhat i can tell the alien covenant is just a continuation of Prometheus. Could someone please explain the story in detail. Spe...

How possible is a real-life Spider-Man, obeying all the laws of physics and so on? I'd accept an answer even if it includes a scaled down version of the superhero, (e.g. instead of being able to lift to two tonnes, our real-life Spider-Man may be capable of lifting only 100 kilos) provided it sta...

In the book Chamber of Secrets there are references to the Muggle Protection Act proposed by Arthur Weasley, aimed to protect the non-magic population against harmful or cursed artifacts made or possessed by wizards who wish to do them harm. Were in the other books any similar official proposals...

In various episodes of Game of Thrones we get to see visions, for example, in Qarth, when Daenerys Targaryen enters the House of the Undying, or many of Bran's visions. However, I think there are more mentions of visions seen by the followers of R'hllor than any other vision. However, try as I mi...

I think it is safe to assume that magical otherkin would not have a problem as they would be able to express themselves by becoming Animagi, but what would we call a magical person of unconventional gender? I doubt they would be happy being called a witch or a wizard, as both terms presume a str...

Or she is the ultimate villain built from character flaws without one redeeming quality?

I have been trying to identify a book that I read maybe 25-30 years ago, in which there are vampire or vampire-like creatures, but instead of being created in the traditional way (e.g. bite on the neck), something drops a drop of some fluid on the back of their neck, which is then absorbed into t...

Watching the movie LOGAN (2017) one sees a number of "X-Men" comic covers and pages. I looked up the cover to one issue featured onscreen, and it did not match the cover I found online. I know there are sometimes "news-stand" covers and "direct-market" covers. I was wondering if some or all of th...

As in can a wizard have an allergic reaction to allergens produced by cats or hypogriffs or to any other animal?

Whilst preparing an answer for another question about the Gryffindor Quidditch team I realised that I didn't know who filled Harry's place in the final game of the season in Philosopher's Stone. I just put "unknown player". Has it ever been stated who that player was? We know that the Gryffindor...

The airbenders would use toys to determine the next avatar . How do the other nations determine the avatar? For example how was it determined Korra was the next avatar?

"with one cherry you may pass to the world behind the glass" I remember the girl moves into her grandmas house and she finds and old standing mirror. Behind the mirror stuck to it there are some cherries and the quote. She uses it to get through the mirror into a different world.

Crazy thought I was re watching Frozen and I realized that Anna and then Elsa both acknowledge that they created Olaf when they were young. I was wondering if Olaf was sentient when he was created by the sisters before since we know that Elsa had her ice powers since childhood however Olaf has bi...

I came across similar questions, but my doubt still remains. Yes, there is a portrait of Dumbledore at Hogwarts, and it was impossible for Harry, Ron and Hermione to access it during DH. But why couldn't they create one themselves for guidance during the Horcrux hunt? I know portraits are just im...

Wouldn't all those candidates(especially our protagonists) be a nuisance to Father's plan if they just run around? Why didn't they just capture them in the first place, especially when they found out about their existence?

I am looking for a science fiction anthology. I remember two short stories in the book. The first had a main character named E and the story ends with "It just goes to show you, a flatter E will get you nowhere." The last story of the book has a post-apocalypse story about a man in a fortress and...

I'm looking for a book I think I read about five to ten years ago. It was a fantasy graphic novel, in a fairly classic comic book style. It was about a boy, maybe eleven or twelve, who got into a some sort of car accident or something near his house, and was in a coma. I remember there was a punk...

I am looking for a book where the female hero gives I believe a weird Chinese cat doll a belly rub and is transported to the future. There she hears that Earth is at war, she is an empath who can help defeat the opposing fraction or so and falls in love with a humanoid lion alien. Also, throughou...

I really don't know how to do this in terms of Spoilers, but here goes... After watching the end of Homecoming, it appears that Is there any in-universe explanation for this change from the way the universe seemed to be in Civil War?

This is a somewhat peculiar question, and I recognize that it may end up being closed. However, it concerns something that has been puzzling my for some years about Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. (Atwood's well known feelings about SF notwithstanding, this novel is clearly science ficti...

I loved a sci-fi film a while back and can't remember much about it, however my mind won't let me quit until I find it and see it again. It started off with the bad guys attacking a Base which was being defended by the good guys akin to rebels in starwars and the Base getting wiped out with the g...

Book set in a small town, possibly in England, where an undead army is waiting in the sewer. Most of the book's story takes place inside a hotel, where they find a video tape. They also dissect a vampire in the basement. The name Leamington rings a bell but I can't find anything with that? He...

There was this book I read in (primary? < 2007) school that was about an alien, I think his name was Jon, who is found and is taken care of in a family. One of the plot points was someone was bald, either Jon or the family's daughter, and later in the story Jon manages to make whoever was bald gr...
