In a footnote on page 29 of The Lay of Aotrou & Itroun Verlyn Flieger notes the word korigans appears in the 1891 compendium of folklore known as The Denham Tracts (Vol. II, p. 79) where it is in the same word-list as the first recorded use of the word hobbits, another term which Tolkien put ...

King Keith Rool, yes I that is his name, is many things, but I don’t think stupid is one of them. Just look at what he knows; mechanical engineering (He has a gun that works as a vacuum, a helicopter back-pack, and a doomsday device), leadership skills (He’s a monarch and a pirate captain), and f...

I faintly remember an anime I loved but didn't finish. There are a boy and 2 girls in a cafe in one episode. They use crystals to see what magical powers the boy has. They are elemental crystals and one crystal showed if you had a unique power. The boy has a few elemental powers, which was ra...

I never saw the full film, just a trailer, dated maybe about 1990. I thought at the time "I'm gonna watch that" but then the years intervened. I've had a search through this site but no joy. What I recall is this kid aged approx eleven is gaping in horror because he learns his parents (step-par...

In Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), Sonny Burch says this words to Hope, who is expecting the component from him: Sonny Burch: My business landscape has been shifting, Hope. Hell, S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA don't even exist anymore... but now, Hank Pym...Hank Pym is a real opportunity. We see S...

As a kid I had a book about aliens. It was a pseudo-encyclopedia of sorts with different kinds of articles and chapters about extraterrestrials. I was so young at the time, I don't remember a great deal about the text, but many of the pictures were quite striking. My dad got it for me and we love...

Mario is a big series. There are a few sub-series, and six questions on this site are on the donkey-kong tag. Of those six, five are about the Donkey Kong Country series of games. Donkey Kong the character, along with Cranky, Funky, and Diddy Kong, is clearly part of the Mario universe; Donkey...

This doesn't make sense to me Voldamort could just say Accio Glasses and temporarily blind Harry

In The Punisher season 2, we see Bill Russo wearing this mask: My question is who provides Billy Russo mask which totally signifies his character in this series (JIGSAW)? Is hospital provide that mask but why would they provide this kind of scary mask to wear? It will be quite understandable...

In Game of Thrones S08E02, Jaime said “You don’t need a king. Any knight can make another knight". But is it right in the context of Game of Thrones? Is it legal to make anyone else night by a knight himself? Is it analogous to the real world?

With season 8 came a new opening scene animation, which now takes us down to the Crypts of Winterfell and the Throne room in KL. In the older opening animation we saw the Stag, Dragon and Lion sigils on the wheels at appeared which signified the houses, in the new one however, I am quite confus...

In S08E02, while the war room scene, I noticed a lady being present, standing between Theon and Brianne. Her face seems familiar, but can't see to recall who she is. Apparently she is important enough to have a place in the war room.

I have found websites which describe all the other batmen but not the giant cloaked Batman in the back, who is this Batman and what multiverse are they from?

Charlie has a fireproof balaclava which he presumably uses as part of his work with dragons. Charlie was darning a fireproof balaclava. (Goblet of Fire, Chapter 10, Mayhem at the Ministry). Balaclavas typically cover the majority of the face but not the eyes. If the purpose of the balacla...

In the S08E02 of Game of Thrones, Bran says that the Night King will come for him and that the Night King hunted down many three-eyed ravens. Sam: Why? What does he want? Bran: An endless night. He wants to erase this world and I am its memory. I never noticed, but does Bran mean he is...

Bran has become the three-eyed raven, and can see anything that has happened in history using his mind's eye. This is an incredible gift that takes place in a world in which people doubt the existence of dragons, giants, and white walkers. People are a bit confused when they learn about Bran's g...

I'm looking for a short story about an alien from a future Earth (from an age after a nuclear explosion destroys ours). IIR he was part of a group mind and was named (?) Ushtu

As far as I can recall, the farthest time in the future that a videogame has taken place would be that of Warhammer 40k (41st century). Has there been a game that takes place in our universe but in a future even further from WH40K?

Can any dead become a wight or must they be victims of the wights or white walkers? The question comes from a discussion around people horses and dragons being reanimated.

Did anyone notice Jon Snow's direwolf Ghost in the background during that scene in Game of Thrones S08E02 where Jon, Sam, and Edd were making fun of Sam calling him "Slayer of Whites and ..."? Where had Ghost been? Last time I saw the wolf was when Jon Snow was getting resurrected.

In Game of Thrones S08E02 The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it is repeatedly mentioned by multiple characters (I counted 6) that when the Night King & the Army of the Dead attack, Winterfell crypts is the safest place to be for women, children & old people. But why is that. As far as I can s...

In general, especially before the Treaty of Alliance, and the earlier neutral zone cease-fires, the Klingons thought very lowly of humanity. However, fast-forward, in time to after the Treaty of Alliance, the Klingons likely would have access to human history. Would they have gained further res...

We have already seen The Night King's mystical powers in Game Of Thrones. He can create ice spears (such as the one he used to kill Viserion) and freeze a sword until it shatters. Can he freeze a lake or even a sea to rule over the islands and kill the humans on it? I know this thought is prett...

About 15 years ago my mum told me about a book she read and I'm trying to find out what the title is. It was about a walled off place full of crazy people. The book follows the story of a boy that's seemingly not crazy and another person who also seems sane. During the story they find out that a...

I am trying to find the title of a book that I read in the late 90s early 00s. I think the book was part of a trilogy. This is what I can remember about the story, a teenage boy leads a normal life until a man comes to him in a van. The man is an alien and and the van is a space craft. The vans ...

As it's been mentioned on numerous occasions in The Flash (2014) TV series and also sometimes in the Justice League: Animated series, a speedster needs to consume an insane amount of food just to stay alive due to their increased metabolism. Does the use of a meta-dampener (or Meta-power dampen...

I've just seen Jamie apologize to Bran for pushing him off the tower in Game of Thrones. When does Bran remember and how does Jamie discover Bran has remembered in the series?

In the novel Divergent by Veronica Roth, people are sorted into five “factions.” The factions are Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the selfless), and Candor (the honest). Knowing this, how are so few people not Divergent to at least some degree? Can...

Is the home planet of Thanos habitable for humans. As we can see that Ironman and Spiderman can live on Titan without any mask but they have their suits. But is it habitable for someone like Captain America or Black Widow or Hawkeye?

Tony Stark has made JARVIS and FRIDAY in the MCU. How many other in-universe AIs have been made by him?

In episode 2 of season 8, Tyrion says, while drinking in front of the fireplace, that every man there has fought against the Starks. Brienne is present there, so taking Tyrion’s word choices literally, is it really true that every man there has actually fought against the Starks at some point of ...

I'm looking this book I read 5-10 years ago (I read a Finnish version). I think it is intended for children or teenagers. The main character is a human kid transported with other children and some adults to an alien space station in order to be trained as a hero for a fight against a vaguely de...

When I started watching Once Upon A Time, several years ago, there was a minute and half theme song and intro that I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Now that I am revisiting the show (rewatching the whole series), the theme song has been removed from Netflix. Now there's just a 5-second title card i...

In the short story Strawberry Spring by Stephen King, which in my opinion has enough hints of the supernatural to qualify for this site, the "strawberry spring" of the title is a false spring, much like an Indian summer is a false summer. The story links this strange weather to a string of seemin...

I'm trying to remember the name of a webcomic I came across some years ago (2000s to early 2010s). I recall the aesthetic of the world (I don't think it was specified to be Earth) looked like it drew upon early 20th Century artistic visions of the future, with blimps, soaring architecture, etc. T...

I'm looking for a fantasy manga where after the main character defeats the demon king, he ends up going forward in time. He also has some sort of guild related to moons that he can "shrink down" and take with him. I also remember a plot point where he went to see an old friend, on the verge of o...

We know that the Primarchs were probably all or mostly psykers of some degree. We also know, however, that most of them didn't exhibit significant powers compared to most major canon psykers. Nor do most of them seem to have received training for these inherent powers, which seems odd if they're ...
