Considering that he not only fought for the country in WW2, but is also pro-military and pro-authoritarian as apparent from several Cap. America and Avengers films, is it too far fetched to think that he is a right wing nationalist and could totally support someone like Donald Trump in today's age?

In the mid 1970s I read a short story on time travel. Pretty sure it was English, ie. written and set in England early twentieth century perhaps Scotland.

When I was young, I read a collection of Robert Sheckley's short stories. I know it contained "Can you feel anything when I do this?", but that's not the story I'm looking for.

In some ways the traveler appears to possess almost Q like (or at least proto-Q like powers), so has there ever been any interaction or suggested connection or relationship between the two in the existing Star Trek canon that might shed a little light on that?

The One Ring could rule all the other rings. So why didn't Galadriel took off her ring? It seems so dangerous to wear that ring. Before The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring the location of the One Ring wasn't known. So if by any chance Sauron got hold of the ring then wouldn't they g...

A recent question was put on hold as "off-topic". The initial question text (as it has changed): Has any story, movie, TV show depicted a spaceport on either of Mars' moons, rather than a spaceport on the surface of Mars? At least 5 users voted it off-topic, presumably because they consi...

This is a chapter book that I would have read in the early/mid 2000s, though I suspect it was published closer to the 90s or late 80s as it wasn't new when I read it. It was given to me as a kid's book, and it was fairly short, but given some of the subject matter I suspect it would be sold as YA...

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, it is obvious that Poe Dameron is the coolest X-Wing pilot to have ever existed. He an extremely skilled pilot, but I have a head canon that he has made custom modifications and tweaks that even the Resistance doesn't know about, such as removing...

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the character of Sheik seems to be sporting a new design that matches neither Ocarina of Time nor Hyrule Warriors. What (if any) prior appearance is this version based on? If no previous media has sported this design, what is the new design based upon?

The wizarding world has always been sexually and racially advanced, far more than most western cultures. For example, already in 1920, America has a female magic president, and many students and aurors are black, even back then. However this is very weird compared to how backwards the wizarding ...
