Man/soldier finds ancient ruins in i think Vietnamese jungle when hiding from enemy troops. In those ruins he falls into nephrite jade well which transports him to Mars where he d...

After Voldemort died, shouldn't the remaining Death Eaters still fight back? We know that they don't need a leader to organize their attacks: Loud jeering, roars of laughter, and drunken yells were drifting toward them; then came a burst of strong green light, which illuminated the scene. A c...

If the Queen really trusted the two Jedi knights, why not reveal herself?

okay, so what I remember was that it had (its really vague but its all I got): -three or four main characters, one of them a girl, two of them guys, then there was like a dad of grandpa helping them. they have magic stones they use to capture creatures, or they like live inside the gemstone t...

I recall that it was a boy and a pen falls from the sky. I think he draws a fish and it comes to life and jumps yo the river or pond. He takes it home and has a blue wall at his room and he draws a hippo, and it comes to life. I just recall that they livef in a fishing town and lived by tje bay o...

In Avengers: Endgame after Thanos arrives and destroys the Avengers base, we see War Machine yell out, "Canopy! Canopy! Canopy!" This appears to be a command which releases him from his suit and allows him to move freely. My question is what is the significance of the phrase? Why would that spec...

In the MCU, the Eye of Agamotto houses the Time Stone, and Dr. Strange has demonstrated numerous powers, including: ageing/deageing fruit trapping Dormamu in a repeating time loop seeing 14,000,605 possible futures However, as I understand it, in the comics, the Eye of Agamotto is not relate...

In Avengers: Endgame, during the brainstorming session with all the surviving Avengers, there is a scene where Nebula recalls that Thanos went to Vormir with Gamora, retrieved the Soul stone, and came back without Gamora. Then Scott Lang (Ant-Man) says "Not it" awkwardly. What did it mean? Wh...

Paige asks Sheldon if humans will become extinct like dinosaurs and Sheldon replies, Yes, but not before some of us merge with computers and become immortal cyborgs. Sheldon then says he got the idea from a comic book. Anyone know which comic book that is?

I realise I'm late, in fact 5 years late but I got to properly see the movie only now so please be patient in answering. 1)How does time travel in Interstellar work? I understand the whole plot of the movie and that Cooper was Murphy's ghost. But if Cooper had to be her ghost, he should have gon...

OK, tricky one. I know the title, not the author. Sometime in the last couple decades, ANALOG magazine ran a story called "Super Hero" about a robbery of a submarine sandwich shop (hence the pun title). It takes place in a future where genetic engineering has given people an assortment of trait...

There are quite a lot of creatures from our real world ancient myths, that exist in the world of GoT: giants, dragons etc. However, are there any creatures that are mythical in both worlds? Creatures mentioned in either book or show which are mythical both in our real world ancient myths and myt...

When he came to Dumbledore asking for a job at Hogwarts, he hid Ravenclaw's diadem in the Room of Requirements. When Harry saw the memory, he noticed that although he did not look like the handsome Tom Riddle, his features were not snake-like as of then. Ravenclaw's diadem was his last horcrux be...

David Edding's series The Mallorean, consisting of five books, is set in the same universe as his prior series, The Belgariad, also consisting of five books. (These books are not small.) Now, I've read The Belgariad, but not The Mallorean. However, if I have a friend who has the ability read The...

There was a programme I saw on TV a long time ago. I think since that "episode" was self-contained that it was either an episode of a series similar to the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limit. There was a disease (it might have been called Rigum) and those infected were exiled to this ship. The dis...

Was it in order to keep an eye on him? Wormtail had taken a habit of eavesdropping on his conversations, according to Snape, so keeping an eye on him seems like the only plausible reason why he was sent there.

Can't remember if I even remember this movie correctly, but here goes. About 50 years ago I saw a BW sci-fli flick on TV. It had sorta pumpkin headed aliens in it who had landed on Earth. Their eyes were on the back of their hands. One of the hands gets severed and it crawls thru the forest in th...

I’m just asking, because she joined Fiona’s princess circle even though she isn’t a princess and one tie-in book called her “An Honorary Princess.” Also, I’ve tried to make a Royalty by Association category on the Shrek Wiki, but making categories is not one of my strengths, so I’ve asked others...

I read this novel when I was young and dumb, and I would love to read it again as an adult to suss out some more meaning. Parts of the plot that I remember: Super advanced insectoid winged aliens invade earth. They are very random, doing things like cure disease and pour wealth from spaceships ...

She was clearly not a psychopath. She loved Voldemort, psychopaths do not love. Psychopaths are charming, she wasn't (I am talking about book Bella, not HBC). Psychopaths rarely lose control, she often lost control. She had emotional attachment towards people and causes. She wasn't even psychotic...

I was poking around and I noticed that his account was suspended. I am expecting this question to be marked as a dupe in about 5 minutes because it's probably hidden in some question that I haven't found. I was just curious: why was Himarm suspended?

I’m looking for an online (very) short story written in English that I read about 10 years ago. The story is about a couple of scientists making repeated experiments on a robot that is attached by a power cord to the wall. During the experiments the robot becomes sentient but cannot communicate ...

The games say that Daisy is a tomboy. However, I don't see her acting like one. Is there a good reason why she's called a tomboy? Here's the background: The Japanese instructions for Super Mario Land, the game where Daisy debuted, seem to be where this started, describing Daisy as: ちょっ...

I'm looking for a children's book that I read some time between 1997 and 1999, but it wasn't a new book so I guess it might have been written before 1990. I must have been about 8-10 years old when I read it. The book I read was in German, I don't know if it has been released in any other langua...
