Q: Looking to find out what this old movie was I rented from Blockbuster as a kid

JakeNot sure if it’s even possible to find out with this amount of detail but I rented a movie from Blockbuster as a kid but never got to watch the whole thing.

Q: Provide a magic link to the more detailed tag info page

AncientSwordRageCurrently, as a Sci-Fi moderator, if I want to send a new user to read up on how to use the story-dentification tag in a comment, I have to manually link to https://scifi.stackexchange.com/tags/story-identification/info. This is because the magic link for tags, e.g. [tag:story-identification] cur...

Q: Why did Ymir die after being pierced by a spear, if she should have the regenerative powers of a Titan?

PabloIn one of the last episodes of the anime of Attack on Titan, we see a flashback where Ymir is pierced by a spear and because of this she dies.

Q: Story Identification - Boy invites in a female ghost who was standing under a tree outside his house

amkingTRPThis is probably a book (or story in an anthology) from the 80s (or very early 90s). The gist that I recall is that there's a brother and sister who see a woman standing under a tree outside their house (possibly the other side of a river), just staring at them. I think they realise it's a ghost ...

MCU And You Film BlogAll Hunters in Loki do not remember their names and instead have a letter and number label, there is Hunter B-15, Hunter C-20, Hunter D-90 for example. On The IMDB page for Casey/Hunter K-5E. Was Casey referred to as Hunter K-5E in Loki?

I know sometimes a raw path without the domain works (like this? /rooms/80712/sugarcube-corner ?), but meta is on a subdomain

Q: Fantasy middle-ages animated series on YouTube featuring ninjas and a "this is my horse" cameo appearance ~2010

LibaviusI can't remember the title of a fantasy middle-ages animated series on YouTube. It was humorist, a bit brutal and featured ninjas as the bad guys. I think there was a cameo appearance of "this is my horse, my horse is amazing". In the beginning there was a scene, where soldiers crashed a door and...

RobertI'm reading the Adversary Cycle by F. Paul Wilson and just finished book three, The Touch.
