Rocky's son in rocky 4 watches his fight with ivan drago, hes like 8 years old. Rocky 5 starts after the fight, he arrives back home from russia, and his son is like 16 🤨 It was a LONG flight back. I like the theory that Rocky 5 is just Rocky's hallucinations caused by all the brain damage Drago gave him.

Along the same lines as the NCIS thing, how suspicious would people be of Jessica Fletcher with how many murders happened around her. Just something I want to add. Once I got bored and bought some books 📚 from the local library selling area. One book was a "Murder She Wrote" book. Figured why not, kill some time. Anyway in the book Jessica and bunch of people from the show, including the cop, take a vacation to another country, can't remember which. Anyway upon doing some site seeing a gun man took a area hostage and threatened to kill himself. The area around it had tons of police and onlookers. Jessica & Company came upon the area and naturally were turned away by the police. The cop guy of the group wanted to help out and go get the guy but was turned away by the local cops basically saying "this isn't your department, you have no rank here" HOWEVER, Jessica convinced them to let HER go up and talk to the gun man, ALONE. Why? Cause to the local cop, she had a good way with her words. Mind you, the local cop had no idea who she was or read any of her books Doesn't really add anything to your statement, but I just couldn't finish the book after that

Do Xenomorphs like have to eat? They are clearly organic creatures, but after they burst from your corpse they don't seem to need to consume anything anymore.

I couldn't really give a shit now because f*** JKR but
In the Harry Potter movies nobody uses a mobile phone, ever
I heard that the books establish wizards can't use modern tech, do the movies ever establish this?

Marvel comic universe: Why do super villains still try to do stuff in New York City considering just how many super heroes are there? Yeah. That's one that makes no sense. At least with Avengers and X-Men level threats the heroes have planes and can fly to other places in the world. Spider-Man and Daredevil's foes can just rob a bank in a town 100 miles away. I believe Shocker did that. He went to Jersey and realized he was a big fish in a small pond there

The Alien wiki says they’re partially feeding off of the hosts they inhabit. They’re pretty much parasites, a sort of bio-robotic take on that.

Why people in films and TV ignore dogs barking and yell at them to stop. If a dog is barking, there's danger somewhere! Pay attention!

The Alien wiki says they’re partially feeding off of the hosts they inhabit. They’re pretty much parasites, a sort of bio-robotic take on that. Still no possible way it could work. For the alien to grow after chestbursting it has to have the mass to grow. So it either has to be eating something or it has to have the mass built up before bursting. Basically like it supercompresses mass like air in a SCUBA tank. But then that would mean before bursting the host would have the equivalent weight of a full grown alien in their chest. Even if an alien weighs roughly the same as its host thats a 200 pound ish weight in your chest. And unless the host is consuming a massive amount of food before it bursts then the alien would have had to consume most of the hosts body to have that kind of mass.

I believe they do, if nothing else there is Arthur Weasley's comic befuddlement about regular human muggle technology. It's really one of the stupid parts about Harry Potter, culminating in the "Wizards didn't have plumbing they just magicked their crap away" stuff.

Arthur Weasley didn't even know what a rubber duck was for. The pure blood families are unlikely to use modern tech, but mudbloods and maybe half bloods would when not at school.

Does it count if there was a scene scripted but never filmed where the crew of the Nostromo finds out the alien raided their food stores?

Not really IMO especially as no other movie has addressed the issue.

Harry Potter takes place in the early to mid 90s. Cell Phones were nowhere as common as they are now.

The NCIS Team would have like every medal ever and would have replaced the presidents on Mt Rushmore if all that shit they did was "real". "Yeah I'm just your normal run of the mill military investigator with 500 confirmed kills on the job, I get into massive shootouts a couple times a day sometimes, 14 drug cartels broken and dissolved, I've been shot 19 times, superninjas have poisoned me twice, I solved 250 murders, defused a half dozen nuclear/chemical warheads in downtown DC. Oh yeah and our tech in the lab has discovered like two dozen cures of cancer and solved the JFK conspiracy by enhancing security footage that was 3 miles away and deleted twice. Oh yeah I've also survived like 5 carbombs, 2 office bombs and every year or two I meet a family member I've never mentioned before but trust me they are SUPER IMPORTANT to me in my life." On a similar point, I used to work for a CBS affiliate and had to "watch" a few seasons of Hawaii Five-O. And there was more than a few times where Steve McGarrett literally got shot so many times that there was no possible way he could have survived. Like, shot in the chest and stuff. I get that they're trying to show how tough he was, but this happened a few times a season. And almost every time he just kinda shrugged it off. It was really weird, even for a police action show.

Cell Phones were nowhere as common as they are now. that, book wise harry was born in 1980 (7 days older than me if he was a real person.) so the last book/film takes place in 1996/97 when mobile phones were expensive to buy and use(40p-50p a text?), not to mention horrible to type on why take 5 minutes to type and send a text when you can just teleport to the person and tell them face to face.

Vampires in BTVS trying to destroy the world never made much sense.
Even Spike pointed out that for a vampire, the world was an ideal place to live.
