In The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025), Earth-838 seems distinct from most universes/timelines in the MCU films because the Fantastic Four seem to be the only superheroes around. While several supervillains are present, I didn't notice any indication of other superheroes like Captain America (...

In The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025), there are several scenes of New York City showing various billboards and business signs that appear to reference other Marvel works. At least one is a business sign for "Westview Appliances Television," which seems to be a nod to the town of Westview tha...

In the post-credit scene of "Thunderbolts*", which features a connection to the upcoming "Fantastic Four: First Steps", we witness the following discussion: Alexei: We had a Sentry who could fly... Bob: Sorry, I know, sorry guys. Can't be the Sentry without the... other side. However earlier he...

In The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025), Ted Gilbert introduces the team with a montage of clips. During Ben Grimm / The Thing's segment, there's a brief scene where two kids watch a cartoon version of the Thing yelling, "It's clobbering time!" before leaping and punching something. Does this...

I never saw the original run of Star Wars / Episode IV: A New Hope in theatres. In May of 1977 I was finishing kindergarten in the US; my parents didn't take me. Over the winter of 1977/78 we moved to Saudi Arabia. At some point in 1978 while living in Riyadh, I saw Star Wars for the first time...

In Ironheart S01E06, "The Past Is the Past," the Marvel Comics character Mephisto is portrayed as a British man, complete with a British accent and use of British slang like "pillock" when mocking Dormammu. For example, he says: Dormammu? That ugly pillock isn't fit to clean my glorious asshole....

In the 2025 MCU series Ironheart, the Marvel character Mephisto makes his MCU debut. He's shown orchestrating Faustian bargains ("deals with the devil") with various characters, offering them power, wealth, or other desires. In one scene, he's seen wearing a black shirt with an abstract design re...

Partway through Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), we see Luke learning how to use a lightsaber onboard the Millennium Falcon. Obi-Wan advises Luke, "your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them", and gives him a helmet with the blast shield deployed that effectively blocks his vision: As...

I was re-watching Iron Man (2008) and something always puzzled me: why did Tony Stark have such a small escort? I only counted about three Humvees (though I could be wrong as the scene was bit chaotic). For someone of his importance, I'd have expected a much larger security detail, or even air su...

In The Incredible Hulk (2008), General Ross recruits Emil Blonsky (aka the "Abomination"), a Russian-born British Royal Marines commando serving on loan to the U.S. military, to lead the mission to capture Bruce Banner after he's been tracked to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The movie made some signifi...

At the end of Captain Marvel (2019) Carol Danvers destroys the Kree fleet, but spares Ronan. He launched an attack against her and she did not have any concerns with killing Kree. Why did she spare him?

In Captain America: Brave New World (2025), Sidewinder/Seth Voelker (Giancarlo Esposito) offers Captain America/Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) information about a villain in exchange for certain demands: Sidewinder: Reduced sentence. Allenwood. My own cell. After receiving the intel, Captain Ameri...

I'm interested in the upcoming Doctor Who spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea, but unfortunately, most of my knowledge of Doctor Who only goes back to the Matt Smith era (the Eleventh Doctor), which aired over a decade ago. I don't recognize the lore elements or background that this new...

After finding out that Eobard Thawne is his descendant, during the fight in the particle accelerator, Eddie Thawne shoots himself in the chest. This prevents Eobard Thawne being born in the future, thus neutralizing him in the present. But was it really necessary for Eddie to kill himself? I imag...

I haven't seen the moive, only trailers and short clips. When Barry had a conversation with Bruce initially he said that he's not Batman anymore. Then there is a scene when he flies or comes to the cave (dressed as Batman) and says "Yes, I'm Batman". What was between those two scenes? Why he was ...

In The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022), Bzermikitokolok and his band (played by the Old 97's) perform a parody song called "I Don't Know What Christmas Is (But Christmastime Is Here)." The humor of the song relies on the lyrics being comically inaccurate interpretations of Earth's ...

In Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), imperial stormtroopers are combing the desert to find evidence of the escape pod and its contents. One stormtrooper exclaims: Look sir! Droids! ...and holds up a fairly large metal or plastic part. Where did this part come from? Did it come from C-3PO or R2-D2? ...

I should have paid more attention to that movie, but it was boring. Phantom Mence totally killed my interest in the series. Was it out of despair that the Sith had taken over?

In the opening sequence of Thunderbolts* (2025) (also featured in the trailers), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) performs a BASE jump from the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—the second tallest building and structure in the world. This impressive stunt was shot on location with Florence Pugh ...

The end credits of Thunderbolts* (2025) feature several stylized magazine covers, posters, and drawings that appear to reference iconic real-world images. I recognized Yelena striking a pose clearly inspired by the famous "We Can Do It!" World War II propaganda poster. However, several other im...

The new Death Star, under construction in Return of the Jedi (1983), is markedly larger than the original Death Star in A New Hope (1977). Graphical comparisons appear to vary widely, but this image gives an impression: The new Death Star is much larger - and even then, key operational equipment...

I don’t like crying babies and toddlers in movies and I thought that banning all toddlers and babies from crying will solve but I will cause problems

At the end of Thor: The Dark World (2013), we can see the Asgardians Sif and Volstagg giving the Aether (Reality Stone) to the Collector. There are already solid theories about the why, but how did Thor, or anyone entrusted with the task to safeguard the Aether, know about the existence of the Co...

In Daredevil: Born Again S01E08, "Isle of Joy," Matt learns that Mayor Wilson Fisk had Benjamin Poindexter (aka Bullseye) moved from ESH (Enhanced Supervision Housing, which I believe is essentially solitary confinement) to general population ("gen pop"), putting Poindexter's life at risk from ot...

When fighting Batroc on the Lemurian Star in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, according to the subtitles (on the Disney Plus version at least), Batroc challenges Captain America by saying: I thought you were more than just a shield. The subtitles explicitly say he is speaking French. Cap st...

The first season just completed filming, but they're not releasing the show until next year. Why?

In Daredevil: Born Again S01E04 ("Sic Semper Systema"), Matt Murdock visits his rooftop hideout, where several Daredevil helmets are stored. One of these seems to be the golden/yellow helmet commissioned from superhero suit designer Luke Jacobson, which first popped up back in She-Hulk: Attorne...

I watched Knights of the Zodiac last night and there was a scene which seemed to be a shot-for-shot copy of one of the opening scenes from A New Hope. Is there any discussion online of this (or other visual easter eggs) in the movie?

In Daredevil: Born Again S01E05, what exactly does the bank robber Devlin mean when he talks about the "significance of St. Paddy's Day… for a Protestant"? During a St. Patrick's Day bank robbery, hostage negotiator Detective Angie Kim tells Devlin (the leader, who introduced himself as "Jesse James

In Daredevil: Born Again S01E01 "Heaven's Half Hour," Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk have a conversation where Fisk claims he kept his promise despite being free. This seems to contradict the deal they made in the finale of Marvel's Daredevil (S03E13 "A New Napkin"). Here's the relevant bit from "H...

In Daredevil: Born Again S01E02, "Optics," Wilson Fisk delivers his victory speech as mayor-elect in Times Square on New Year's Eve. The scene features several billboards, including a prominent one for Rogers: The Musical, the in-universe musical first introduced in Hawkeye (2021) and referenced ...

The video The Only Movie Made By the CIA discusses the 1954 film Animal Farm, that it was funded by the CIA and that they changed the ending from Orwell's original story. (cf. Why was Old Major's death scene changed in the 1954 animated adaption) But it goes on to suggest changes in other endings...

In Star Trek, alternate timelines often emerge from key decisions or external events. I’m wondering if there’s a specific moment in the series where a single decision could have prevented the creation of a major alternate timeline. Is there any indication in the canon that a particular choice mig...

The third Harry Potter film marked a significant visual and narrative shift with Alfonso Cuarón taking over as director. His darker and more stylized approach contrasted with the more childlike tone of the first two movies, setting a more mature direction that would influence the rest of the fran...

In-universe, the Doctor spends a lot of time in London. Quoting the Twelfth Doctor: DOCTOR: London! What a dump. OSGOOD: London's okay. DOCTOR: No, it's not, it's a dump. OSGOOD: You spend an awful lot of time here, considering it's a dump. DOCTOR: I spend an awful lot of time being kidnapped, t...

In Captain America: Brave New World (2025), a specific date is shown prominently, which is unusual for the MCU, so I'm wondering if it has any special meaning. During a scene where Sam Wilson, Isaiah Bradley, and Joaquin Torres are en route to the White House for the Celestial Island World Summit...

I'm trying to figure out exactly when the events of Daredevil: Born Again occur within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline, particularly in relation to Wilson Fisk's mayoral election and other recent MCU events. In Born Again, it was revealed that Fisk has been doing some soul-searching ...

When playing Geordi Laforge (at least up until First Contact), Levar Burton wore a 'visor' his character needed to see due to being born blind. Ironically enough, seeing him wear the visor in scenes from the show has led me to think the visor would have impeded the actor's vision in real life- if...

In Daredevil: Born Again S01E02 "Optics," Wilson Fisk (the Kingpin), now the Mayor of New York City, has a conversation with his staff about his upcoming appearance at a senior center: Sheila Rivera: Once we arrive at the senior center, you'll say a few words, and then they want to present you w...

In the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), which of the two protagonists (Batman and Superman) did the filmmakers intend to be in the right? My interpretation is that Batman is right, as he essentially believes that humanity learns from its past mistakes and rises again, which is ess...

In Captain America: Brave New World (2025), Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, appears with his prosthetic arm intact. The last time his prosthethic arm made an appearance in the MCU was in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022), where Nebula took it and gave it to Rocket as a Chri...

In the movie Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, why we're the Weasleys called blood traitors by Mrs. Black? Sirius also said it. (I am talking about the book.)

Is the Hogwarts located in the same universe where the muggles also lives ? If yes what would they(muggles)see if they visit the place and why the four founders of Hogwarts choose that place.(Is the main reason was to hide it from muggles or something else) PS : I have not read the harry potter b...

I don't have exact examples, but I'm sure that I've seen it happen on many different starships in the Star Trek universe: replicator technology exists, but the people have a strong preference for food they've cooked themselves. I can imagine different explanations: It tastes better (in the sense...

Many question have been asked about "Interstellar" (2014) and especially about the part covering Miller's planet. Now, I am usual no one to be overly pedantic when it comes to scientific accuracy in movies. After all, it is just entertainment. In this case, however, I have the feeling that I simp...

I am introducing a theory for review, regard the role of Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones. The dramatically ironic revelation is as follows: Count Dooku : What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark Lord of the Sith? Obi-Wan : No, that's not possible. The Jedi wou...

I recently watched the first two episodes of Creature Commandos (2024), the first entry in the DC Universe (DCU), which is a reboot of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Interestingly, Creature Commandos, created and written by James Gunn, directly references events from his DCEU projects, The Suic...
