Since there were over 100,000 wizards who watched the Quidditch World Cup, and most saw what the Death Eaters were doing, like burning tents and people; levitating a Muggle family; the spinning of a Muggle child; and the casting of the Dark Mark, there were obvious pieces of evidence of the resur...
As we see in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, and Luna Lovegood could penetrate the Time Room in the interior of the Ministry of Magic with ease, despite not yet having graduated from Hogwarts. Why didn't th...

Back when I was a kid I remember reading an X-men comic where they get transported to some sort of citadel in another planet by a villain, in order to retrieve some sort of gem.
What I remember about it:
I read the comic around the early 1990s, although it could be older.
The villain wanted the ...
In other combiners like Devastator, members form their limbs by attaching themselves to the torso. However in the case of Menasor, the Stunticons cars simply attach to the sides of Motormaster limbs. This would mean Menasor's height should be about the same than Motormaster's, unless some "magic"...
I just re-watched season 7 of Marvel Agents of SHIELD, in the context of End Game/WandaVision/Loki/What If...?/No Way Home, and especially focused on the finale, where Fitz summarizes the branching and re-merging of timelines. (I haven't seen Multiverse of Madness yet, but what I've read so far s...
I remember when I was a kid, I watched this one wuxia series about 2 brothers who were demigods with special power. The youngest had eyes that could see through anything and they had 2 swords that would get stronger if they put it as an X together.

Am I just imagining it, or is there some increased activity in Tolkien questions (here and on Lit), possibly because of the newly planned films?
@AncientSwordRage There's not much need. Harry Potter questions already get lots of pairs of eyes to check them (except for the fan-fiction identification ones), so there's not much for smokie to add.
scifi.stackexchange.com/q/167993/4918 "How could Dumbledore's Army ride thestrals even though only Harry and Luna could see them?" has the highest score, and I think it counts even though it doesn't have "why" in the question. scifi.stackexchange.com/q/55128/4918 "Why didn't Tom Riddle kill Harry Potter in Chamber of Secrets?" is my favorite. scifi.stackexchange.com/a/112941/4918 "Why did Lucius give Tom Riddle's diary to Ginny?" may be one where the question is better.
I think he moved to the New England area. I remember him having magical powers and living in a mansion. If I recall there was a younger relative (maybe cousin) who watched this evil tv show or three was an evil character who infiltrated the show to gain control of the boy. I really want to pick t...
In X-Men Annual Vol. 1 Issue 11 from 1987 Wolverine is regenerated from a drop of his blood.
You can see his skeleton on page 37
Click images to enlarge.
Which means he hasn't got his Adamantium skeleton and claws left, but in X-Men Annual Vol. 1 Issue 12 he seems to have them back:

This question First story to feature the trope "the nice self-sufficient society that welcomed us are actually cannibals"?
jogged my memory about a sci-fi short story that I read maybe 15 years ago.
Two diplomats visit a planet to meet the high officials, a long lost earth colony - they are serve...
The key detail from the story was that because of cosmic rays or some other deadly phenomenon, pilots of spacecraft returning to earth had to be dead people who had been specially reanimated. Living pilots would be killed by the re-entry process. Most of the pilots had been condemned criminals, b...
