Memor-XAt the start when David Kane is fighting Arthur Curry on the sub David's father's crew went to steal we see that David's blades could not hurt Arthur.

Q: Jeepers Creepers: Is the Creeper given a novel motivation?

releseabeAt least as far as movies are concerned, I do not think I have encountered in my watching experience a monster that is motivated - the need to replace worn-out or damaged body parts -- by the same reason. This accounts even for its reason for deliberately frightening its potential victims. Thi...

I hate how when I have a Meta that’s a dupe but the problem was never fixed after YEARS
I’m not sure Meta works a lot of the time
this got over 200 downvotes and the top answer in support got over 400 upvotes but nothing changed

@Stormblessed well... I just looked up Russell's filmography. (Funnily enough, that's one of the few films of his I haven't seen)
But I felt writing "found by looking at the guy's bio" might be perceived as condescending, so as it's not a Google query or something, I thought I'd leave that out
 
6:34 AM
@Stormblessed meta's goal isn't to fix issues, it's to raise them. Issue fixing is just a happy event happening... Sometimes.
 
Well that's a bit cynical.
 
@Mithrandir what is?
 
"issue fixing is just a happy event happening sometimes". If a problem can't get resolved through meta, that's a bit of an issue.
 
Ah. Yes, I was being cynical. I thought you might mean the story-id thing.
But well, meta hapoenings aren't determined by the number of upvoted it getd
 
I realized something.
Kylo Ren says to Rey: You're nothing
I guess he's right.....
 
6:52 AM
How do they do it in the Japanese dub?
> Kylo Ren: you're Rei
> Rey: well, duh
 
I mean, I don't know if it literally means nothing, but zero is pretty close.
I guess Rey's name is very significant!
I mean, the Spanish is obvious.
But given that Star Wars has always been influenced by old Japanese films, perhaps this is the real meaning.
 
Well you wanted her to be a nobody so I guess that's good
Or rather, a random person

Q: Was pager message from Nick fury to Captain Marvel unnecessary?

naiveThis question has been bugging me for a while. Maybe it is a bit over thought. Question is: Does Nick Fury really need to send a pager message to Captain Marvel when Thanos did snap. I mean there is just 50% chance that Captain Marvel would survive and if she does, she will come to know what had...

Q: Could the Infinity Gauntlet have saved Asgard from Ragnarok?

HRIATEXPIf Odin/Thor/Hela would have had the real Infinity Gauntlet when Surtur showed up at Asgard for Ragnarok, could the power of the IG have defeated Surtur and his Twilight Sword, or would Surtur still had been invincible because he had the Eternal Flame?

 
6:30 PM
@Marvin Why's this POB?
It's essentially asking which is stronger - the Gauntlet or Surt. Since they exist in the same universe, that should be answerable.
 
@Mithrandir It's borderline okay but the edit jacks it into POB, IMO. There's no "an Infinity Gauntlet", there's only one real and it certainly wasn't around Asgard at this point. Technically the gauntlet isn't all there is to the power, but still. Add to that that there's no indication on how to measure one power of the other...
This is basically asking "could Batman kick Superman's butt with this weapon I made up"
 
It's... pretty understandable that they mean whatever Thanos had in Infinity War.
 
Mh, no. They could've meant the fake one Hela came across.
Wait, have you seen those yet? Or did I spoil you?
 
> with the real Infinity Stones
 
sure, but there's still only one gauntlet. Which is why I wrote "Technically the gauntlet isn't all there is to the power, but still."
 
6:39 PM
@Jenayah Nope. I've only made it through Phase One so far. The rest I've gleaned from the internet.
 
oh, sorry then
 
Eh, I don't care about spoilers :P
@Jenayah Exactly - only one Gauntlet. So the question is if that Gauntlet could have saved Asgard.
 
> had an Infinity Gauntlet
like, as if there were several "functional" ones
which still function like the one Thanos had
 
That seems like you're reading too much into the word "an". Change it to "the" and that solved the problem, no?
 
Well, OP were the one to change it...

It’s confusing when users hide their accounts for every site except one and then you see them on another
 
You get used to it
And soon realize that some people are far more active on the network scale than you'd think :-)
 
7:39 PM
It works quite strangely
I clicked on one user (who I can only see their SF account when on SF) on another site
Their network profile showed questions from SF, but only other accounts were listed
 
Yeah network profile is just plain wrong sometimes
Better not to rely on kt
 
Weird
They don’t have a network profile linked on SF
 
Yeah. That network profile thing is just full of not even half-working features
 
Maybe it’s that their SF profile is the one hidden, I guess

Q: How is it possible for there to be Death Star wreckage remaining?

Some reading on the subject... Not much has changed though

You’ve said
I didn’t actually know about that feature ever existing, but it’s very nice
 
Yeah it's super handy
And it was quite boring that it got down
 
NaA
Not necessarily redacting worthy, but definitely doesn’t answer the question
 
@Stormblessed off-topic is the only close reason which allows you to actually write down why you think it should be closed
 
8:32 PM
@Stormblessed I think you meant this comment of mine?
@Riker POB is the close reason that encompasses​future work policy, for lack of a better, specific one — Jenayah Mar 23 at 7:57
Factually answered isn't all there is about future works policy though
 
@Jenayah But POB is the close reason we're supposed to use, as they are just speculation and can't have a source really
 
The close reason isn't the most important thing as long as FWP is mentioned in comments.
(for FWP at least...)
 
8:49 PM
@Jenayah Oh, really? That'd be awesome!
 
For the record, I've also checked the Star Wars in 100 Scene factbook, the Inside the Worlds factbook, Star Wars Golden books, Little Golden book, Random House Reader, Read-Along Storybook, 6-Stories-in-1 junior reader, 5 Minute Star Wars Stories, 2016 graphic novel, Original Trilogy webcomic, ROTJ Manga, ROTJ Tokyopop graphic novel and the 1983 Marvel ROTJ "Official" Comic. None of them have anything useful. — Valorum Nov 29 '17 at 8:54
Thorough lol
 
@NapoleonWilson what, it's not?
 
@Jenayah I don't know. But you say it is and the answer is quite new, so I don't have much reason to doubt it.
 
Well I haven't tested it yet but I trust the answer
I thought you were using the conditional because of the usual snark:P
 
I'm sorry if I gave the impression I'm unproportionally snarky. :'(
 
9:01 PM
Ahah! Maybe you fell to my snark! :P
 
Why is that a bad impression to give?
 
Because snark, like many things, is better enjoyed in moderation.
But the internet doesn't really help much to moderate it, again like many things.

Should the Mario tag be with ? Mario is in a shared universe with all Donkey Kong games, but never shows up as far as I know in the Donkey Kong Country series
 
Isn't there a world name?
That we could use as universe tag
 
@Jenayah No
DK Island and Mushroom Kingdom are distinct locations
Maybe just
And for non-Mario series games like Yoshi games and DKC
