A man creates robot arms to manipulate the world as he is disabled. The arms created larger and larger arms and smaller and smaller arms so they can perform gigantic and microscopic tasks? Any idea what story this is from?

We know that in the Mortal Engines series, some cities are mining cities, doing exactly what it sounds like: mining the materials that their city needs for fuel, and so forth, instead of cannibalizing other cities. This makes sense: cities have enough energy to move themselves, so they should hav...

So, a while back, I posted a question on whether or not Jean Grey was the only person Toad had slimed, and it turns out that he used it on Wolverine at one point in the comics? I was just curious, was this the only instance of him sliming someone in the comics, or has he used it on others as well?

What is the name of an anime from 80s-90s movie/series in which there is a scene, maybe the end, where a girl [who has a armor] exchange age with a dying man in a beach, so the man transforms into a baby and the girl grown to a woman?

If a Jabari challenger for the Wakandan crown had won in the ritual combat and been made ruler, would they still receive visions and power of the panther goddess Bast, or from their own Gorilla deity, and a different suit matching that theme? Answers from any canon would work, since this scenari...

When the Ux apparently decided he was the Creator. But he was hardly the only person to land on the planet, and the Ux seem to be knowledgeable about Doctor Who "technology" (they recognized the TARDIS as "dimensionally transcendental," for instance). It also seems like they wouldn't assume ...

At the starting of Avengers Infinity War we see that Loki is in possession of the Tesseract. So why didn't he use it to transport everyone on that ship to the earth? If he wanted to keep that a secret, he could have transported everyone when Thanos attacked the ship.

The story started with a family (maybe French) living in a remote island (?) They were discussing the new X-bomb experiment planned by one of the global powers. On the day of the experiment, they felt something wrong and heard from the radio that an bomber was effected by the experiment and drop...

Doctor Who often seems to find spaceships buried under London (For example the Cyberman ship) or perhaps disguised as buildings in London, (I can think of two) or hidden in bedrooms in London. How many spaceships has Doctor Who discovered in London?

It was a book I remember seeing a few pages of when I was young but of which I can't remember more than a few details. There was one story about a little monster girl, whose mom told her that old "if you keep making that face it will stay that way" except she was making the face of a cute little...

I've been adding some missing "franchise tags" lately, and I've stumbled upon the Tron related tags, namely tron, tron-legacy and tron-uprising. The tag wiki for tron currently reads: A 1982 science fiction film about a computer programmer, Kevin Flynn, who is transported into a virtual worl...

Book with 4 short stories in it, all pretty different, I'm pretty sure the title is a single word starting with L. A name maybe. In one of the stories, a guy dies and ends up in an afterlife with lots of other people. There's a canteen where they serve food that tastes horrible to start with, b...

I can't think of a punny title, but we currently have 15 questions tagged with toads-spit, while we don't even have a toad. A character tag might make sense here, since he's part of various Marvel franchises, so all questions about him could easily be bundled under that. However, I don't think a...

At the end of Philosopher's Stone Hermione states that she and Ron ran into Dumbledore in the Entrance Hall on their way to the owlery. “So what happened to you two?” said Harry. “Well, I got back all right,” said Hermione. “I brought Ron round - that took a while - and we were dashing up t...

Please help me identify an anime which I forgot the name of. All I can remember is a scene about the brother of the main character sacrificing himself by driving a missile or ship to a place in order to explode, and a woman trying to stop him but he locks the door. She tries to identify him by sa...

As seen in the Original Triology, the standard TIE fighter was inferior to Rebel X-wings and A-wings, hence the TIE Interceptor was developed to combat these higher performance starfighters. Why do the First Order still use standard TIEs instead of TIE Interceptors, that are higher performance? H...

In Lord of the Rings Return of the King just after the One Ring was destroyed in Mount Doom along with Gollum, there is a scene in which Frodo says: Sam, I could not have destroyed the Ring. Why did he say that? Why was he unable to destroy the Ring?

I don't really see the point of the montage involving Luke spearfishing and milking the space manatee. I don't see much of a story-telling reason to see how Luke has survived or become very rugged. However, this could have been achieve with any shot of the water. Do we have any commentar...

Dune Lovers, I remember seeing a video clip of Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam saying to Paul, "You cannot loose these people upon the universe!" This is straight out of the novel and foretells Paul's imminent jihad, setting up the rest of the sequels. Anybody remember seeing this clip of the ...

So, i watched episode of The Flash season 5 episode 8 (What's Past Is Prologue), and one thing got me confused about : 'When Barry went back to time where his speed had been taken by Hunter Zolomon (a.k.a Zoom)' & after successfully finding device, while he was returning from that time with his ...

A question, If a Battlestar is critically damaged from say, a battle or a accident, then how can the entire crew of the Battlestar evacuate in a hurry? Are Battlestars Equipped with Lifeboats or Escape Pods?
