Vague question title, unfortunately, to avoid spoilers - the real question is: What effect did the coming of winter ultimately have? 'Winter is coming' was a common refrain during the early seasons of the show, but once it came it seemed to be barely mentioned again. It didn't seem to have mu...

I am looking for a story which I can only remember one page from. It starts with the villain saying something to the effect of "you don't dare to fire that". It then cuts to a panel with Spider-Man holding a weapon, with Ant-Man next to him. The nest panel has Ant-man press the button to trigger...

In the last episode of Game of Thrones, While there is no longer Iron Throne, I'd expect the new king to at least wear a crown. But alas, I don't remember seeing it happening. The new Queen of the North does appear to get an elegant crown, but not the King. How so? Is there some explanation...

Does hitting someone's wand with Expelliarmus leave a burn mark on the wand or make the opponent's wand hot to touch? For example, if someone cast Expelliarmus at my wand and I obviously dropped the wand due to the spells effect and then if I was to then "grab the wand" which hath been forceful...

In Avengers: Infinity War Who is the ruler of Wakanda after the snap?

This is my first post so I'm not sure this is in the right place. It is science fiction and fantasy based. I'm working on writing a story wherein there is a revolver inspired by Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy's samaritan. My question is; can such a gun, as described below, work? Or would it be a b...

Is it ever mentioned in the movies or the books whether it is possible to vanquish or get rid of a ghost forever? I am not talking about a ghost somehow moves on by itself, more like an evil ghost being handled by living wizards somehow.

Arcanum Unbounded has the prologue from the 1999 version of White Sand. I started White Sand and didn’t really like the comic book form. Does Brandon Sanderson intend to ever publish a canon, full written version of White Sand, or will it only officially ever be in graphic novel form?

In Game of Thrones season 8 episode 6 Jon kills Daenerys. As we know from previous seasons, if you kill a Khal you become a Khal and Dothraki will treat you as their leader. There was no mention of them after Daenerys dies, so what could happen?

Characters seem able to immediately figure out who's from Earth, who's from Mars and who's from the Belt. How can they tell? Surely some Belters have some really picturesque appearance, but not all of them; still, everybody seem to be able to recognize anybody's lineage on first sight. Is that t...

This is a short story that I read in the mid-to-late 1980s, most probably in a science fiction magazine that was published in the 1960s or 1970s.

In the Game of Thrones series finale, a council is held where Another question touched on the subject of why the Iron Islands didn't ask for independence as well, and the consensus there seems to be that Yara didn't have the political savvy or the clout to pull that off. However, could an alt...

In the Game of Thrones series finale, after Drogon arrives at the scene, and Jon and Drogon have a bit of a staring contest before Drogon ultimately I can think of a couple of interpretations of what happened here: During this "staring contest", Jon attempted to wield whatever manner of i...

My understanding of Russian names is that for women, the names end in "-ova", and for men they end in "-ov" or "-off". But Black Widow's last name if always listed as "Romanoff" - shouldn't it be "Romanova"? They might have gotten it wrong when the character was first created, but they would ha...
