I think I read this somewhere in the early 2000s. Batman and Robin (I think the Dick Grayson or Jason Todd, definitely not Stephanie or Damian, but it could have been Tim Drake) are investigating a series of murders of teenage girls. The common thread is that they all seem to have been killed by ...
In The Avengers,
In Captain Marvel,
Why was the Space Stone used to do this?
Should not these be the functions of the Mind Stone and the Power Stone, respectively?
Title says it all, I can't remember it, it's the episode that's stuck out to me the most.
New to this site, so please forgive any errors in how I ask the question.
I recall a rather grim short story/novelette read during my teens (early to mid 1970's) from either a magazine or anthology, so could be written prior to 1970. The setting was either future Earth or on an Earth-like plane...
Novel about a magnetic reversal. U.S. flash freezes and Antarctica rapidly thaws and reveals ancient Cyclops and other giants. Main character is a young lady. She meets up with other people and eventually escapes to military ship in the ocean.
In Avengers : Endgame, the avengers gone back in time to get the stones and undo what Thanos did.
Is that what happened in the comics?
As observed in S8E4, Daenerys needs all the people she can get to fight Cersei. Why didn't she ask Dario Naharis and second sons to join the war?
After Sandor Cleagane convinced Arya to leave the Red Keep and go home there is a scene towards the end of the episode right after Arya escapes the falling bell tower and ends up helping the woman and her child to escape, when Daenerys comes from the background towards them (woman child and Arya)...
There are numerous people in Daenerys' council who know secret ways in and out of the Red Keep.
Varys: Back in Season 1 Varys is shown to know the secret way in and out of the Red Keep when he shows Illyrio in and Arya sees them. He also uses secret tunnels and entrances for Tyrion's escape.
Ty...
I try to investigate the difference between stirring clockwise or anticlockwise. In the Harry potter series the direction in which the potion is being stirred is important. Are there any reactions which depend on the direction of stirring (clockwise or anticlockwise?) What is the mechanism relate...
I read this book sometime in the mid-late 90s. It's set on other worlds and in space, mostly human characters.
What I remember:
the FMC has telepathic and telekinetic powers of unknown limit - regarded as strongest seen.
there is a weapon on a spaceship that draws telekinetic power from FMC ...
A week ago i asked a Question about the 3 Big twists in GOT the answers cleared me up on that, 2 of them has already been revealed and now after the episode 3 "The Bells" we all saw what happened Dany gone Full Mad Queen, is this the last one?? seems like a pretty big twist to me.
If I stare at the sun, it's bright and blinding due to UV radiation. However, if I look at a star in the sky, it doesn't hurt. What causes this loss of energy that would otherwise damage one's eyes?
About 30-40 years ago, I read an unsettling story called "The Itchy Teeth". Here's how I remember it:
There is a boy whose teeth itch. His mother is irritated by the
constant sound of her son scratching at them with his fingernails.
The boy wants to stop irritating his mother, so he wo...
In Avengers: Endgame, when Hulk wore all the Infinity Stones he was instantly getting major injury before he even snapped just by putting on the gauntlet. Whereas Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War was able to wield and use all 6 (not all of them at once) without injury (until he snapped). Is this ...
This question asks about an author to a short story. However, this doesn’t qualify the story-identification tag because they already know the story. Should we create an author-identification tag?
I came across this suggested edit on Movies.SE this morning. The edit cut out two shortened links (TinyUrl), claiming they linked to a virus, and added a disclaimer not to click said links in the answer, defacing it. I rejected it with the following custom reason:
That's a good intention but ...
Once in a blue moon, I've wanted the ability to downvote my own answer to some question. (Here's one (admittedly silly) example.)
Obviously upvoting one's own posts is out of the question. But down is different. Voting my own answer down can help me improve the site by pushing my answer lower...
stop hitting yourself!

In the Game of Thrones episode The Battle of Winterfell did Jaime have any impact on the course of the battle or the main characters? Brienne defended him in front of Daenerys and the Starks in the episode prior and Bran acknowledges their last meeting and let's him off the hook but for what purp...
At the end of S8E4, Cersei has archers aimed at Daenerys, Tyrion, grey worm, and many soldiers. Why doesn't she simply order them all killed and end the war right there?
We all know Aerys II was mad, there's no disputing that. We often see the testimonies from the nobles however like Catelyn:
"Aerys . . ." Catelyn could taste bile at the back of her throat. The story was so hideous she suspected it had to be true. "Aerys was mad, the whole realm knew it, but ...
I had always assumed that if Daenerys won the war, the history books would reflect Tyrion's contributions at the battle of the Blackwater. With Varys dead though, does anybody else know/care?
Do they think he is treasonous or do they know what the audience knows? Or is it just that the North thinks well of him and King's Landing folks (what's left of them) do not?
In the play Arya watched as she was training to be a faceless man, Joffrey was painted in a negative light, but so was ev...
I read this short story as a kid 25-30 years ago at a minimum. Details in my description may reflect that time gap. I'm at a loss for the title or author, but I'd like to read it again as an adult.
Plot
The story takes place in the USA, and seems to be contemporaneous to the date of publication...
The setting of the story is about that any human being might be controlled/possessed at any time by unknown forces. Society as a whole seems to have adapted, there are even laws governing such incidents. Nevertheless, life is quite gruesome. I remember one scene in which it is described that peop...
Other than Lara Raith that is.
A total of three (non-deceased that is) other Raith sisters appear in the Dresden Files Wild Card comics, none actually referred to by-name in comic and them all being seen together here.
And only here.
After the training session, one at least (at the back by t...
The three-eyed Raven knows a lot. In particular, this knowledge could be used to exploit others. As Varys once implied, information is power.
Has a three-eyed Raven ever been the Ruler of Westeros? That is, has a three-eyed raven ever sat (and not just for a photo) on the Iron Throne?
If that ...By this, I mean death by direct fire, like Varys's and the Tarlys' death. Their deaths are often described as "burned alive," but they seem near instant, unlike Melisandre's execution method of choice
If Danaerys from Game of Thrones could destroy the entire city by herself with only one dragon, why didn't she attack and destroy King's Landing when she first landed in Westeros, had 3 dragons, and there were no giant crossbows?
This story is initially about the self insert original character adopted sister of the Uchiha brothers, at least according to the summary I remember, said character was trying to prevent the Uchiha massacre and after doing that, (possibly, the summary obviously doesn’t actually say,) becomes a se...
