Part of the reason Superman doesn't always get the respect he deserves is because people find he is both "over powered", and thus things are never a challenge for him, and that he has things "too easy" with all his abilities. More respect is given to warriors like Batman [who had to hard earn all...

In this story I read long ago, the trees of each forest are all connected (through their roots ? by some psychic power ? I forgot). Each tree is thus just a "body part" of the forest he belongs to, and it is the forests that are sentient, not the individual trees. I don't remember any other livi...

Kryptonite makes Superman weak so how come he can easily break the cuffs with kryptonite on it?

From wikipedia, Feminist critics have praised the dominant role taken by Furiosa and the range of atypical female roles including the wives and the gun-toting Vuvalini. It is very well recieved by Feminist also. What is the significance of feminism in Mad Max Fury Road?

I'm looking for the scene where Superman has to learn to control his powers. Specifically hearing and sight (I remember the super hearing causes pain until he learns to focus, and the sight is similarly problematic).

The latest entry in Arrowverse universe is Batwoman, I wanted to jump into it but I am not up to date with Arrowverse shows. Like I have not seen Legends of Tomorrow from the last 2 seasons and Arrow's last season. So I want to know how much should I know from Arrowverse before jumping into Batwo...

In the comics, how did Superman learn to control his super hearing and super sight? Did they work perfectly when they first started, or did he have to learn how to handle them, perhaps being overwhelmed by his senses until he learns to focus? Did someone help with the process, or did he learn it ...

Forty-some years ago, I read a fact article in Analog magazine that said humans ought to be able to fly with arm-powered flapping wings -- on the Moon, with increased atmospheric pressure/density. Some time later, I read a story in which the characters did this, in the air storage "cave" in a Lu...

Star Trek DIS has around 15 episodes in each season and PIC is going to have only 10. But TNG and VOY had nearly 30 episodes in each season. Why don't they produce longer seasons anymore?

I read a short story sometime in the late '80s. It was about a group of people walking along a tube that had doorways leading to different worlds or realities. The main focus was on the dynamic of the walkers though. They sang a song about walking up the tube as they went, this was a running t...

I'm trying to remember which book series this is. It was an illustrated novel where it takes place in a future where the human race is replaced with a robot dominant population and a man teams up with a talking gorilla (and maybe a team of others?) where they're trying to survive among these ro...

I know this film has slightly different content in the US compared to other releases, how many releases exist and what are the key differences? While researching a question about the ending I learned that there was at least one release of this film which did not contain that ending. When The New...

I know that Edgar Rice Burroughs' nephew, Studley Oldham Burroughs, designed for him an ex libris bookplate showing Tarzan holding the planet Mars, but I would like to know if Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote something about Tarzan in Mars.

I read this as an eBook in the last two years, so I'll see if I can find it in my book history, but the setting is somewhere in the nearish future where full-body VR is possible, and people participate in elaborate MMOs. It has been discovered that if you stay logged in too long, you can no longe...

I found a shabby copy of this book at the library in the early 2000s. The central conceit of the story was that the characters were characters in a stereotypical medieval fantasy book, and they experience people reading this book as being summoned to act out the events of the story. The protago...

What is the name of the graphic novel that comprises the below elements from my recollection? I purchased it from a local Borders during the company shutdown & liquidation. It was leant out, and never returned. I rather enjoyed it, and would like to see if more content by the writer/illustrator...

After Hermione mixes cat hair in the Polyjuice potion it takes her weeks to recover. I wonder why that is? What about animal hair and its interaction with her took weeks to reverse or wear off when it took the boys less than an hour? Would it have taken years if not for Madam Pomfrey? She did r...

We know thanks to the Ancient One's explanation that when an infinity stone is removed from it's own timeline and goes to the past or future, that an alternate reality is created. However, Bruce says if they return the stones to the same time, that specific reality won't be affected and it'll be ...

I was discussing this with a colleague at work, and we couldn't find any definitive answers. Are, for example, the joints in Wolverine still regular ones, or are they covered in adamantium as well? And what about his cartilage? In short, what are the ears of Wolverine made of?

For instance, in The "Half-Blood Prince", Draco spends almost his entire school year trying to fix the Vanishing Cabinet so he will be able to bring back-up Death Eaters into Hogwarts. But couldn't he have used a house-elf to bring them all to Hogwarts by Side-Along Apparition and skip all that f...

I'm looking for the title of a short story that I would like to offer as suggested reading to my kids. It was in the late 80's early 90s when I first read it. English was the language. It may be part of a collection. From what I can remember, the premise is that humans were at war with space ...

Dobby apparated to Hogwarts to put a charm on the Quidditch Bludger to follow Harry and try to hit him. The question is, though, how did Dobby apparate to Hogwarts if he had never been to Hogwarts before? The exact location is a secret and it is unplottable. You need to know the location of a pla...
