In order to counteract "the snap" in Avengers: Infinity War, in Avengers: Endgame Tony Stark:
invents and constructs a workable time-travel device, and
joins other unsnapped Avengers in traveling back in time to "borrow" the infinity stones from the past (called a "time heist" in the movie).

My idea of how a dragon can breathe fire is that it produces some form of flammable liquid, and lights it in its mouth using an organ that produces sparks.
The problem is, there's no way a dragon could store or regenerate such a liquid enough to breath the amount of fire Drogon did with little r...
OK, I'm not sure if this can be answered or merely discussed, but I hope there is a logical answer.
I just watched the end of Season 1(of 1 currently) of George R.R. Martin's Nightflyers and I think it generally makes sense, apart from one detail.
(spoilers ahead)
I'm looking a story I read as a teen back in the seventies, in an anthology no doubt.
The plot point that sticks with me is this: a young pianist who is moving off-world has to sacrifice the piano, which is too heavy for the ship to carry.
I've Googled around but haven't found it. Does the st...

For those crimes and to secure Stormlands, Lord Rogar Baratheon sought his step-son King Jaehaerys I's leave to...
How did Dr. Strange bring everyone back to the Avengers HQ without him possessing the stone? The stone is supposedly in the gauntlet. So how did he do it? I haven't watched the Dr. Strange movie so maybe I'm missing out. Can he do that without the stone? Did he train for it? I watched the majorit...
I just finished the book, and I enjoyed it very much, but I don't seem to fully understand everything, especially about the events around the alien artefact that was found by Fassin, Saluus, Ilen and Taince.
What is the significance of the alien artefact? Is it the Second Ship that's talked abou...
I'm trying to do a time series analysis on the total number of deaths (of not just important characters but everyone in general) per epsisode of Game of thrones for a course project. I was wondering if there was a statistic/dataset on total number of deaths per episode per season. I've come to kn...
In Avengers: Endgame, Tony & Nebula are stuck on Titan & later on the Guardians's spaceship, running out of food and water. During the scene in which he records a message to Pepper & when Nebula puts him on the chair, he looks frail & starving with veins popping & blood shot eyes.
When he ret...
I started watching Chernobyl, and after watching the first two episodes I did a great deal of reading around the disaster that happened in 1986.
I still couldn't find any source of information regarding this particular sequence, I don't remember the names properly yet, but this scene is from Sea...
In one of the episodes of Game of Thrones, Sansa woke up to found blood on her bed. She became fearful and started to hide this from Cersei. I didn't understand it. Cersei was cruel to Sansa, but I don't think she wouldn't have given Sansa medical attention. Afterall, Sansa was going to marry Jof...
Rewatching The Avengers and I noticed that during the Battle of New York, Thor went to a nearby building, struck the top with lightning before striking the Chitauri.
But why would he need to do this when he can just directly attack his enemies without needing to strike a building first? Is there...
The story follows a teen who is too scared of the highways (where violence and murder are encouraged) and is teased for acting like an old lady. One day, he has to get his license, gets on the highway, fights for his life against a motorcyclist with a number of kills racked up, and wins. The stor...
I know SO's policy is "you don't have to register to ask questions,"
I have decided this policy no longer makes sense, given a question volume of 4k-5k questions per day.
So from this point on, registration is required to ask questions (but not to answer).
In Avengers: Infinity War, up until Thanos
in order to use the Gauntlet he needs to close his fist, as we see in the fight scene on Titan.
Tony: "Don't let him close his fist!"
So why later does snapping work?
It seems to be general knowledge that with the all the Infinity Stones the wielder (if he is strong enough) can do...
Anything.
Certainly the Asgardians seemed to be aware of it...even Odin had a fake Gauntlet made up.
In addition, both Wong and Dr Strange are both aware of the Infinity Stones...
As the question says, what can he do? For example, let's suppose Jon turns against Daenerys and comes face to face with Drogon. Can he kill the dragon with the tools he has at hand? For clarification, the tools aren't necessarily limited to one on one combat. For the intent of the question, all e...
In The Avengers, the Council contacted Nick Fury and supposedly, they want to nuke Manhattan. Nick didn't agree so they contacted a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative to nuke Manhattan.
When they found out that an unauthorized jet was trying to fly, Nick grabbed a rocket launcher and fired it at the jet, wh...
In Iron Man 2, Stark created additional Iron Man suits. During his birthday party, however, Rhodes was able to take and put on one.
In a later dialogue, Nat said this shouldn't be possible. To quote from the movie scene (the one where they where in a donut shop with Nick Fury):
Nick: Is that...
In Game of Thrones s08e05 we see a fight between the two Clegane brothers, Sandor(Hound) and Gregor(Mountain). From the start of the fight, the Hound seemed to have the control and stabbed the Mountain with his sword in the belly:
However, it looked like the Mountain didn't even feel anything s...
Of course, I'm refering to
Now obviously this involved a
How did Chris Hemsworth modify his training regimen and diet for this movie compared to his previous appearances?
Read this in UK maybe 2010, but it was a library book heavily stamped, no doubt a few years older. A reasonable-sized book of maybe 400 pages.
World building implied there were teleportation cabinets everywhere of importance, the protagonist was (I think!) some kind of artist and also an investi...
At the beginning of season 7 Melisandre has the following exchange with Varys when Jon Snow arrives at Dragonstone...
Varys: I wondered why you weren't there to meet our guests.You begged
us to summon the King in the North, don't you want to see him again?
Melesandre: I've done my part...
Arya's killing list included Ilyn Payne, the king's torturer and executor.
Was it mantioned anywhere if he died or not?
Just, why not? She can be herself and him himself without any of them needing to change.
Besides, I think they might give birth to half-ogre humans or half-human ogres.
Here are the pieces I remember. Lived in a society with strict rules, parents die and younger brother gets taken into the governing society, doesn't acknowledge sister. The working class lives in trees? and work in a foundry? forging some kind of figurine. They escape into the outer world that th...

In Game of Thrones we see the Red Woman Melisandre remove a necklace which presumably acts as a glamour and gives her the appearance of a young woman. When she removes it we see that she is in fact rather old and decrepit. Considering her god is known to bring people back to life, particularly th...
