Spoilers for events of the game: the game features a cult that worships the Cenobites and wants to ascend to Cenobite status, but the Cenobites are unimpressed by the cult's efforts and even voice their rejection of the cult's leader. Funnily enough, the cult has used the Genesis Configuration (a similar device to the Lament Configuration of the movies, but with extra abilities) several times to summon the Cenobites and one high-ranking member has survived multiple trips to the Labyrinth.

Considering how dismissive they were, could the Cenobites just ignore any further summons from people who annoyed them?

"A summoning at 6 pm? It's those annoying cultists again, let's not even bother showing up."

So far as I understand it, outside of Trueborn, vampires are heavily limited in their abilities by how far their linage is from Trueborn. But I've also read they through they can drink the blood of other vampires, either voluntarily or draining them, to get stronger.

Have there been low ranking vampires, like 4th or 5th generation, that haven't gotten significantly more powerful through this method? Does getting stronger mean they can provide additional blood kisses? Does any of these strength get passed on? Like a 5th generation vampire consumes enough vampires to the point where they're essentially a 4th generation? Could a new bloodline be founded this way by blood mixing?

What would happen if a Trueborn gave some of their blood? How dramatic is the power boost by generation? Like is it deeply impactful to a 2nd generation as much as 4th? Does it drive all but the strongest insane or something? Or does it not work? Anyone ever drain a Trueborn vampire?

so in the show, goo proves that you can just...pop up an imaginary friend at any moment. and we see plenty of food-based friends all the time, one such imaginary friend being created for the explicit PURPOSE of being food.

with that said, if im willing to set all morals and ethics aside, can I ward off starvation indefinitely by just...creating a food imaginary friend whenever im hungry?

even more than that, can I just create an imaginary friend that can PRODUCE an endless supply of food, since some imaginary friends have been shown to have special powers and abilities?

Question in title.

Title

When the Imperials gave the order to release the KX droids to "suppress rioting" on Ghorman they seemed like completely unstoppable monsters, hails of blaster fire were totally useless and they waded through entire crowds killing everyone in their wake. Even Andor armed with a military grade blaster could do little to slow them except by ramming one with a space car.

K2S0 would demonstrate similar levels of tankiness against the ISB security teams on Coursacant and was quite resilient to stormtrooper blasters on Scariff but he was still brought down with reasonable amounts of fire. When Andor and Jyn stumbled into an stormtrooper squad he did not say "boring conversation anyway" and simply start bitchsmacking everyone in sight. K2S0 is a good force multiplier but far from invincible. Also comparing them to the B2 super battle droids explicitly built with military applications in mind, clone blasters demonstrated remarkably better impact. Their armor was tough enough that they didn't need to seek cover even without overwhelming numbers, but they were also still not able to simply fight a squad of clones on their own.

Possibly their armor is just the next generation and it's tougher, but considering how long Star War's history is it seems unlikely that armor could consistently make massive generation leaps. An old republic era cruiser is famously used during the battle of Scariff and 4000 year old durasteel plate was still quite comparable to ISD armor plating. Potentially overhauled but how much could modern people really do to refit a 1700s ship of the line for ramming into aircraft carriers? How could this first wave of KX droids be so effective? And if so why not deploy them in greater numbers? Palpatine might have inherited a galaxy traumatized by the droid armies but he has never been squeamish about schemeing to do whatever he wants until his popularity hits 0%

I mean, to better clarify, I was observing their relationship over the first four movies as I sat down to watch the series a couple of months ago.

Like what I am saying is that I don’t know why Rocky goes out of his way to help him out since Paulie is a drunk fellow, and on top of that, some of his antics have driven Rocky into bankruptcy that I don’t understand why Rocky doesn’t ditch him.

When Aang finally met her, she asked him what he had done, bringing Tagah to the Lion Turtle Islands and the staff, only to then tell him she hid the staff in hopes that someday another Air Avatar would find it to make more Airbenders.

But how was that supposed to ever happen if not only was her name basically erased from history, but over several centuries or even millennia she never actually reached out to any Avatar, and even more so apparently actively refused any attempt at connection?

And so Aang had to go rummaging through a shit load of his past lives who had never even heard of her at all, even though she should've been one of their past lives too, to finally find some ridiculous foot fetishist who knew anything at all, with the only piece of lore about her he could give was the location of Tagah, whom she explicitly did not want to be found or brought to the staff.

If she really wanted the staff to be found and used by an Air Avatar, which after the 100 Year War and the Airnomad genocide would've been the perfect time for, she couldn't have possibly fucked this up any harder if she tried.

Even if she thought that freeing Tagah was necessary to clear the path as Aang was the only Airbender left or to find the Islands at all, which she made clear was not her intention, she still could've reached out before Aang actually recovered the staff or Tagah tried to kill Aang's friends.

So why would she possibly wait until all the damage was already done, only to then basically blame Aang for her own mistakes?

Many jokes in Konosuba, and some great moments in Isekai Quartet, come from Aqua hating demons and undead. We eventually see that she isn't unique in this regard among the gods, and some of them are even worse in this category than she is.

Do we ever get a reason why the gods hate demons and undead beyond them being assholes?

(For the record, my dog watches it, I am just becoming immersed in the Bluey lore as a side effect.)

The animal changing asparagus seemed to end on a cliff hanger. Was it actually magic, or an elaborate game?

Wolverine is a chain smoking alcoholic with untreated PTSD that kills people on a regular basis. Xavier gives him free room and board and lets him hang around children.

Meanwhile, whenever Magneto kills people, no matter how justified it was, he acts like it’s a Greek tragedy.

What’s the deal with that?

As far as I know, the light doesn't change much besides the powers and the ability to be rezzed.

However, I remember it being said that Guardians don't get sick and don't scar. And I'm not sure if the memory wipe after being chosen has anything to do with it.

And there's also the case of the Hive's Light Brood. What changed with them?

So, in the movie 2012 the super-wealthy and world's government officials all fund these arcs that supposedly would save humanity. Unfortunately, for the most part, there is very little diversity in the type of person who is accepted. (Some Chinese laborers and most of the main cast survive.) Wouldn't the fact that they didn't include "regular" people harm the species' survival? I know they mentioned that most of Africa may not have been harmed by the shifting of the world, so maybe that would make the result more diverse when they get to the land, but still.

What abilities would it have?

What would an ultimate form look like?

How much would ben personnality change?

Her death isn't strictly necessary for the sacrifice, so if she lives, do they just let her go, like they re-open the tunnel and let her drive home? Do they compensate her in any way or give her medical treatment? Longterm or psychiatric care?

I know Anakin turns to the dark side in hopes of saving Padme. But when confronted by Obi Wan, are his reasonings for hating the Jedi valid, or just lies he's telling himself to justify his fall to darkness?

Because if they are indeed valid, and I assume Vader eventually wanted to kill Palpatine as well, does this imply Vader wanted to start his own version of the Empire? Free or the Jedi and Sith altogether?

Just wondering if this was ever a train of thought that crossed Vader.

Was he legitimately trying to erradicate both sides?

In the story of mgs3 after ww1 a bunch of rich and powerful American, Russian and Chinese men got together and amassed 100 billion dollars of wealth to influence the world I guess. metal gear has a lot of real world figures as well.

one good candidate is John d Rockefeller could have been one of them. He was the richest man on earth and influenced America in a massive way.

any ideas for others on the Russian and Chinese side or even Americans.

After watching one of the episodes showcasing Purple Haze's ability I wanna know if Dio's immortality is able to completely nullify or at least withstand Purple Haze's virus.

Outside of the human actors trapped in the show, I mean. Were they just made up so the credits would look realistic?

Spice is said to be deadly addictive. Once addicted you have to keep taking it or you die.

Spice is all present on Arrakis,it can't be avoided. If you stay long enough you will naturally develope the Eyes of Ibad, the blue within blue eyes of a heavy spice addict.

Spice is also the most expensive substance in the Empire.

Given all this isn't a job on Arrakis basically a death sentence? You will get addicted to spice if you stay on the planned and you will die unless you keep taking it when off the desert planned. So do workers just accept they will die or is there some provision in their contract that they have a guaranteed spice allotment so they don't die from withdrawal? Or do they make enough to be able to afford spice for the rest of their life?
