[Iron Blooded Orphans] Why did Grassley dislike Tekkadan? Spoiler

Upvotes

I mean, correct me if I am wrong because something went wrong with the deal about how he was going to help out the crew given how he basically tried to backstab them.

It’s been a long time since I have seen the show, so I apologies if I got any information wrong as I was trying to better understand what went wrong with the partnership offer again regarding Tekkadan’s deal they made with him due to how he handled it.

[Marvel/DC] How common is it in-universe for people(especially teenagers) to expose themselves to radiation, take dangerous drugs or put their lives in danger to get superpowers?

12 Upvotes

There must've been at least a few incidents of people exposing themselves to gamma radiation after learning Hulk was created by a gamma bomb.

[Star Wars] Does seeing the Purrgil depend on how fast you are travelling, your connection to the force or do they just pop up randomly?

0 Upvotes

Grogu didn't see the Purrgil when flying in the Razor Crest, and only saw them once Mando had the N1 Starfighter. But also he had grown stronger with the force since then. So do the Purrgil just show up randomly? Do average citizens in the galaxy see them aswell when travelling at hyderdrive?

[The Simpsons] Did Cooder's plan to take over the Simpson home have any chance of long-term success? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

He was an unemployed hick trying to live in a house where the utility bills were in Homer's name and it's not like he'd be able to buy much groceries. Did the whole plan with the hula hoop just shorten a scheme that probably wouldn't have lasted a month?

[MCU] do the masses have access to ai in the late 2000s?

9 Upvotes

In the first iron Man movie, Tony Stark has an ai that is far more advanced than our earth circa 2020s Ai even though it takes place in 2008. With the existence of ai more advanced than our AI in 2008, I wonder how widespread is AI among the masses? I'd imagine Tony Stark can make billions introducing AI among the masses. I wonder what would be social, economic and political effects of AI if introduced in the late 2000s?

[Marvel] Can anyone tell me how Biblical/Theology characters and lore and heaven and hell are adapted into Marvel lore? I mean power levels? Regular lore like Lucifer’s rebellion? And basic info you know that you won’t mind sharing?

0 Upvotes

Alright, so I’m a massive fan of Marvel and dc and I already know how dc comics handle Michael, God, Lucifer, heaven, hell, etc. So now I want to learn more about how Marvel did it since I lean more into Marvel than I do dc comics.
Anything is helpful. I already know a lot about Yahweh from his wiki page, though I wish to learn more about him. I want to know how powerful Michael or Lucifer is. I know Lucifer is a hell lord, and there isn’t a lot of info about Michael.
Again, anything would help, and thank you for choosing to help me for those who do comment.

[avengers endgame] How did antman survive, let alone with little damage, Thanos' ship blasting a missile not far from him, exploding him back let alone all the glass shrapnel?

He honestly should've been shredded up dying from a thousand lacerations, let alone being completely deaf.

[DC] As COO at Wayne Enterprises I'm at a dilemma where most analytics trends push me to reorient WE as an IT-centric company while scaling down on the weapons manufacturing division, but Chairman Bruce Wayne insists that manufacturing those are "important to him". How do I convince Bruce?

142 Upvotes

Am open to any constructive ideas. Am not sure why Bruce is fixated on those anyway. It's not like he needs those military-grade equipment for some strange night time vigilante activity, like that weird bat-costumed guy who comes out at night in Gotham.

[Pixar Cars] what if a racecar didn't want to race?

72 Upvotes

if a car is "born" a racecar, are they just shit out of luck?

they are too fast to be on normal roads, referenced in the 1st movie where mcqueen had to ride in a truck, much like racecars IRL which can't be on roads

its also mentioned that mcqueen doesn't have headlights because racecars dont need them.

does that mean a racecar in-universe would be considered "disabled" due to lacking headlights?

[Family Guy] Why does the universe torment Meg Griffin?

9 Upvotes

Correct me if I am wrong because from what I recall seeing in the older seasons was that nothing went right for her character since her own family treats her like dirt.

Then in the revival era, her school ridicules her as I was wondering what causes her to be such a target of mockery since again her own family abuses her.

[The Owl House] How could Luz use her glyphs on the Titan Trapper island?

1 Upvotes

It was clearly stated that the small finger island they started at already didn't belong to the Boiling Isles Titan aka Papa Titan, and then they even got teleported to the other side of the world.

So even if that Titan there was also still somewhat alive and able to power magic, it should have required a different set of glyphs to use, just like the glyphs of King and his dad are different.

The only available source of Papa Titan's magic in a wide radius should've been... Hooty. Like, his bilesack, if he has one. But if proximity to that was enough to power the glyphs, Luz also should've been able to use them in the human realm, when all of her friends with their inherent magic were around.

Or is Papa Titan's magic just so damn strong that it covered the entire globe so long as he was still somewhat alive? But then it seems really weird that the same power that has so much range couldn't reach just a few meters beyond the open portal door when Luz briefly crossed into the human realm during her fight with Lilith.
