After seeing him and Maria in the Infinity War after-credits scene, and seeing him again in the recent Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, I was a bit confused. At the end of Winter Soldier, he's not the Director of SHIELD anymore and he says he's going to finish off the rest of Hydra in Europe. B...
I'm trying to identify a story/filmstrip in which the main character (boy/girl?) can access a secret world behind a bookcase. As they age, they are more and more restricted from visiting, until a final visit.
Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
Does any one knows the anime where the main character has a green little friend from other dimension? He and his friend fuse by joining hands
It's like his buddy and he join bodies and then he has green armor on the main character.
@Stormblessed You can always flag the question for moderator attention and suggest this. In my experience, there's a lot of overlap between too broad and unclear, and I generally wouldn't worry if it's between those two flags. It's of more concern if an off-topic post is mislabelled, or vice versa. And a duplicate that's closed as something else should definitely be corrected.
I remember watching a show on Hulu (90% sure it was on Hulu, but when I checked a list of their original programming I couldn't find it) that involved people meeting with a supernatural figure that acted as a middleman between the people and God. I don't know if the figure was a demon or an angel...
I am trying to identify an anime from my childhood of a wanderer in the desert with a rice hat on. He fought with and alongside lots of Mad Max type characters, and wrecker-women. There were also balloon decoys of the main character that he deployed?

I'm looking for a book about a man who wakes up in medieval times and uses his advanced knowledge to get ahead. He becomes a knight and winds up having a fiefdom of his own to develop. He then builds structures for his people, like apartments, windmills etc., and improves on farming and sanitatio...
This story was about a farm boy who built a ham radio and found himself communicating with aliens on a space ship heading towards earth. The townsfolk and army gather for the event with food vendors (maybe carnival stuff as well) and the aliens describe how they have landed in a lake of acid with...
I read this sometime between '02 and '09 in a collection of short stories in one of my English classes. I don't know how old it is, but I'll include every detail I can remember.
A ship crash lands on a barren planet far away from the rest of (presumably) human civilization and is damaged beyond ...
The Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer is out. One thing that I clearly noticed in the trailer was the initials on the suitcase Peter is carrying-"BFP". As I clearly mention in the title, my question is "who is BFP"? I guess it should be Uncle Ben, so that it spells out Ben F. Parker. But then I'v...
The answer was pretty straight forward. I remember both the scenes pretty well. There are a hell lot of articles doing rounds that explain the feather, even videos doing "complete breakdowns" of the teaser. Yet the depth and detail of the answer would have surely deserved an upvote, only if it didn't come from the same person who asked the question in the first place. — Prakhar Mishra48 mins ago
Oh yeah that one surely did well, just another comment about it and well... I like moaning
Does anyone have a original source that supposes Uncle Ben was modelled after Benjamin Franklin? I've heard it lots but not tracked anything down bar interviews repeating it
Does Albus Dumbeldore possibly have dementia or some type of amnesia from overuse of the Pensieve? Or does the Pensieve perhaps alter his memories unknowingly to him?
> Pensieve fact file MAGICAL PROPERTIES Memories can be siphoned into the basin to be recalled at a later date PURPOSE To clear the mind of certain memories; to examine memories at a later date; to show memories to a second party
> To clear the mind of certain memories
That seems to imply the memories are removed from the mind. it's unclear if they're necessarily removed or that it's optional to do so.
> “I use the Pensieve. One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one's leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form.”
FWIW I VTC'd as unclear cos I think it needs some more reasoning to find out what they're actually driving at
If Snape was removing his memories of Lily and placing them in the pensieve every time he and Harry practiced Occlumency to keep Harry from seeing them, does that mean that Snape, in essence, could no longer remember them? Does that also mean that if you removed a memory to the pensieve to keep ...
@TheLethalCarrot It's news to me - I don't recall it from anything Stan Lee wrote or said about Spider-Man's creation. Not that that's definitive or anything.
Look I've been hunting demons for a long I own 15 different seraph blades. It doesn't matter how loud u say the name. It only activates t gf e sword then the rest is up the Shadowhunter. I've seen a lot demons. After living for 7 millenia u never get tired of it.
As it says in Elantris, only an Elantrian can create an Aon that has an effect. The problem is that in order to become an Elantrian, Elantris needs to exist (as shown by the fact that people became half Elantrians when the city was an incomplete Aon). So who built Elantris as a functional Aon?
Started off nicely but then it goes on the "boring" slippery slope and doesn't get back up

I don't know if the term is correct - but how are these icons set on some tags?
Do I need a special privileges to do that?
And what about the IP permissions - can I for instance set a picture from Wikipedia?
so since Slytherincess isn't really active but did accept your Meta answer,
@Slytherincess just to check, before I/we start editing - you give us permission to transfer these screenshots of yours onto SE's Imgur, right? — JenayahJan 11 at 19:19
I read a story when I was about 14 in 1968ish possibly in the John Carnell series New Writings in SF in which, as I remember, there were a man and a woman, one of them strung out on speed and the other on barbiturate. The woman painted herself with luminous/fluorescent paint, I think.
I made a comment on a question in Stack Overflow. Then some minutes later I wanted to navigate to the question again for making another comment. So, I went to my profile / Activity / all actions / comments. But my comment was not there.

Actually, I don't know if you linked it. But it was edited into the question and there's a comment from you saying that you read too quickly so I assume you had left an earlier comment linking it as a duplicate.
In The Punisher S01E10 "Virtue of the Vicious", there is a scene where Karen is held at gunpoint by Lewis and is also wearing a bomb vest. The Punisher (Frank) quite craftily signals Karen to pull out a wire to defuse the bomb. As soon as she pulls out the wire, she reaches in to her purse and fi...
I'm trying to remember a story about a couple who have a designer baby.
The story is written in the first person as a series of letters or possibly e-mails from the baby's mother to a friend. It starts quite innocently with the mother saying how great it is that genetic diseases can be eliminate...
I wanted to buy Stargate SG-1 DVDs for some time now. However, I am unsure because I want to buy the original discs and those (I suppose) are pretty hard to find.

Young isn't the issue, it's more that we try to keep a... professional tone? I think is the correct terminology? So... best to avoid making jokes like that too often
@Mithrandir I don't usually. It's just that the all-too-common use of the wrong word for canon made it come out mildly amusing, and I wanted to share the amusement.
@Jenayah Hey, still three characters. No, I'm just horribly prejudiced against being rude and abusive. It's just how I was raised, but I just can't overcome it. I'm so ashamed.
