In the Dune film adaptation, Duke Leto Atreides possesses a pug (a dog) that appears in several scenes. At one point, Gurney Halleck, as portrayed by Patrick Stewart carries it into battle. I don't remember reading in the book that Leto had a dog at all, although I could be mistaken. In-universe,...
I’m not a comic book junkie as most who follow the MCU, but I’d like the storyline to make at least minimal logic. Here’s my quandary...
Ego was alone in ALL of the Universe for millions of years as he began to learn without being taught by any older being. That’s odd in itself, but not the ques...
At the end of The Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers, Sam puts the Ring on to hide from orcs and then follow them, and afterwards passes out.
Now the flicker of approaching torches and the clink of steel ahead was very near. In a minute they would reach the top and be on him. He had taken too lon...
Quenya, the popular Elvish language is used in all the Lord of the Rings books and movies and appears very beautiful due to its flowing letters and has a charismatic visual appeal.
How would I go about learning the Quenya alphabet and word definitons?
After Voldemort is defeated at the end of The Deathly Hallows, it's mentioned that all the people under the Imperius Curse were freed.
Does that mean that Voldemort was controlling all the Imperius'd? Considering people like Stan Shunpike wouldn't have come into contact with Voldemort til later ...
To merge something else in here; it's worse than you describe. Any comment that contains the word "duplicate" and a link to another question is deleted when a question is closed. This might be solely comments that are owned by someone who voted but I'm unable to test.
It doesn't matter if the co...
In the opening scene of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we see a submarine crew discovering their submarine is not the largest thing in the bay. If I recall correctly, they weren't worried about that initially, figuring that there wasn't anything large left alive in the bay.
How long after the e...
We Know that Harry Potter Got one cloak from his father, James Potter. We also know from the fourth book of Harry Potter that Mad-Eye Moody also has an invisibility cloak. I was under the impression that there was only one invisibility cloak that was made by Death and given to one of the Peverall...

I was attempting to edit an answer I submitted earlier and I ran into what may be a bug. I had already accepted someone else's edit, using the "Improved edit" button to add some further clarification on top of their edit.
Two days later, someone commented on a grammar mistake, so I went to edi...
In La Passe-Miroir (The Mirror Visitor) series, by Christelle Dabos, there are various arks, or floating isles. Each has a family spirit with various powers, inherited in part by their descendents.
Now, Farouk of the Pole has mental powers1 of all sorts. We know that among these powers must be ...
During the Elseworlds crossover for the CW shows Arrow, Flash and Supergirl the android Amazo is activated. Cisco and Caitlin determine that the robot was built to track (and copy) metahuman powers.
But Superman and Supergirl get copied as well. Their powers are not meta in nature at all, are ...
Having read Lloyd Alexander's best known works, The Chronicles of Prydain, when I was six or seven, I sought out the rest of his then-existent oeuvre a few years later. For whatever reason, I read the rest of his books roughly in the order in which he wrote them. So I finished The Marvelous Mis...
In this scene after Bilbo leaves, Gandalf seals the One Ring inside an envelope.
He seems to fear touching it. He very briefly touched it when it lay on the floor inside Bilbo's home. That provoked the ring, or allowed Gandalf to sense some malevolent presence w...
The story is from a comic book I read in the 90s.
The X-Men discover a mutant boy, maybe 6 to 10 years of age, whose mutant power is pyrokinesis.
I faintly remember that the boy was a sweet little kid who seemed to take a liking to the X-Men but after a mob assaulted him he caused serious havoc...
Hogwarts is definitely not wheelchair friendly
So, i've read the book Hammer and Anvil by James Swallow and i'm a bit confused.
I really like the Adepta Sororita, but even so i'm still puzzled as how a simple sister could actually win against an army of necron or win against a necron warlord.
In the book, at the end:
As i know even a who...
Is Leia considered a Jedi? She does have the Force but she doesn't have a lightsaber, nor did she undergo training like Luke. What are the requirements in order to be called a Jedi?
Sooooo turns out the logic for this was explicitly excluding things from deletion which had any edits. Anything that started with our prefix and had the link, by community, which weren't edited were removed.
All good, right?
Nope, then a regex ran looking for effectively "duplicate..." and dele...
For a few years after the launch of the Sci-fi channel they aired FTL Newsfeed, a series of short news segments from the future. I was wondering if they ever were collected in order somewhere? I have been able to find bits and pieces of it on youtube, but not a contiguous whole I could watch be...
In her previous scenes we see that Bubble is practically impervious to any physical damage as she can alter her body so she won't get hit or damaged.
So what happened to Bubble in her last scene?
I have just watched the Spiderman: Far From Home trailer, and I'm confused. If this is an MCU-connected film, does Disney/Marvel own the rights? Or does Sony Pictures?
I thought Disney/Marvel owned the MCU films/stories, but the trailer is put out by Sony Pictures, which I didn't think Disney o...
I read it as a teen between 1989-1991, and have ever since wanted to re-read it.
I think it was normal, adult fantasy fiction rather than a "young adult" book.
These are the few images I retain from the book: -
Published either by a feminist publisher or otherwise as part of a showcase of wo...
The trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home has just been released:
With Tom Holland being in this film it gives some interesting insight into what might happen in Avengers: Endgame. However, that depends on when it is set in the in universe timeline.
Where does...
What was the name and author of the sci fi story about a group of big game hunters in Canada who end up being hunted by an alien panda with tentacles? I read this story when I was a boy in the late 1960’s.
On Area 51, when you go to the revisions screen, you can see the number of revisions that has been made and who made what. However, the actual revisions are missing, not just in style but the actual content. It looks like it should be gotten with Ajax, but I don't get any JavaScript errors.
In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Dooku fights Kenobi and Anakin in front of the 'captured' Palpatine. At the end of the duel, Anakin disarms (and dis-hands) Dooku and takes his lightsaber (and uses it, along with his own saber, to decapitate Dooku). Anakin then 'pilots' the ship...
I don't quite understand where in MCU events of Spider-man: Far From Home take place. Are they before Avengers: Infinity War or after Avengers: Endgame?
