The book or series is based in the future the character was born in a desolate world and grew up with an almost animalistic survivability. It was not by L.E. Modesitt. I want to say it had something to do with a binary sun.
Have any reviewers of Frank Herbert's Dune commented that the worms represent kundalini and that the vocal commands given to them represent the power of mantra? If so, what did they say the "spice trade" represents?
When I was a kid, I used to read a book (likely from the '60s) about a pair of kids who find an ancient lizard/fish man inside a cave. The cave has been recently exposed by an earthquake and the creature is inside a super technologically advanced stasis chamber. I think this creature's name is so...
Who owns the rights to Valentine the Dark Avenger?
It seems funny to me that it uses the name Avenger but its not made by Disney owned Marvel. I'm not quite certain if this question is either to basic or not in the scope for the site.
Years ago, I read a novel whose title I'd like to rediscover. What I can remember is this:
The novel's world has powerful, amoral-or-evil telepaths who are in a dominant social position. They've got large, unusually-shaped heads. They might be aliens?
It must have been published before 1996. I'...

I'm looking for the movie I watched in early 2000-th, but I'm not sure when it was filmed. Maybe in 80-th.
It was about aliens invaded earth using giant robots.
Rebels build their own robot from parts found in car dump.
Main twist was that aliens was in fact dinosaur like creatures.
I think it ...
In Avengers: Infinity War, after the passage of Thor, Groot and Rocket to Nidavellir, Eitri has nothing left to lose, his planet is dead and he can no longer forge weapons by himself. Given that he is huge and that he can defend himself or at least help, why did not Eitri join the Battle of Wakan...
In Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), as Han controls the plane, he contacts Beckett:
Beckett, we're .8 from the bridge! Val's still on the track!
What does ".8" mean?
I'm looking for a short story by Isaac Asmimov about someone who creates dishes not in the kitchen but by combining ingredients in his head.
In Game of Thrones S08E01, Cersei was so disappointed for not getting elephants and it's being part of so many memes and joke now, like:
But why does elephant matter? Her competition/rivalry is with Daenerys/Starks etc. And they have dragons. So what purpose elephants can fulfill? What is the ...

What did Thanos do to Eitri's hands? Are they:
encased in metal?
cut off and replaced (by Eitri or Thanos) with metal?
turned to metal?
something else?
In Avengers: Infinity War, Eitri reports on Thanos' visit:
Eitri: I thought if I did what he asked, they'd be safe. I made what he wanted...
We see numerous iconic scenes directly lifted from the Tobey Maguire-era Spider-Man films in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, such as:
etc.
What are in out-of-universe reasons (rights, story-telling, fan-service etc.) for the inclusion of this era and not the eras of Andrew Garfield or Tom H...
From Googling around a bit I've gotten the impression that:
The Light Novels (LNs) are the source material
The "Progressive" novels (PNs) expand upon the source material
The Manga was adapted from the source and contains no new content
The Anime was adapted from the source and contains no new c...
Didn't know how to reduce subject to one sentence.
It was a series, something like Spaceways Patrol or something. Kind of pulpy, maybe, around the 80s. Small books, maybe around 150 pages.
One of the books had some guy who was storing his fat outside of his body in cases maybe, and when they ...
I don't remember the plot but in the anime a scientist makes a boy's toy into a robot to fight the alien robot. The anime was very new and had very good animation. The boy controlled the robot in white colour maybe to fight the alien robot.
I am asking this because in the Half Blood Prince we see a younger version of Dumbledore (that is still played by Michael Gambon) And Voldemort was born 1926 (I think) so when it shows Voldemort as a kid, the time would’ve been atleast 1930s. So when Fantastic Beasts 3,4 or 5 come out, wouldn’t t...
In Brave New World does Huxley ever describe the look of the World State? The buildings, clothing, technology, or anything like that?
No one says X-zerox for Xerox
No one says X-zylophone for Xylophone
No one says X-zenophobe for Xenophone
No one says X-zylograph for Xylograph
Why do people so many ignorant people insist on saying "X" before they say Xavier????
While writing an answer to Was there any reason to think that there might be students younger than 17 coming for the Triwizard Tournament?, I came across this line:
“A Portkey?” Ron suggested. “Or they could Apparate — maybe you’re allowed to do it under seventeen wherever they come from?”

World is a non-Earth and mostly steriotypical sword and sorcery. I think there were only humans. I believe it was a stand alone novel, but it could have been in a series. I think it was written in the 70's or 80's.

Since Gimli was very proud of the dwarves hospitality, how come he didn't know the password to enter the mines?
Additionally, what awakened Balrog? Was it the greedy dwarves mining too deep? Was it the Ring?
Why didn’t the dementors fight with Voldemort in the last battle of Hogwarts?
In Star Wars EU, Palpatine's clones lacked the Sith lightning damage that the original Palpatine had sustained from fighting Mace Windu. Assuming that the Palpatine in Episode 9 is a clone, would his skin show damage?
Current status: we do not have consensus to pursue this under the present system (which only allows custom off-topic close reasons). We may re-visit this if the system is changed to allow a custom close reason for a different type (e.g. "primarily opinion-based").
We have a policy that questio...
