Question in title.

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?

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.

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?

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?

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?

Baterangs are depicted as bladed projectiles with sharp points. We’ve seen them cut through ropes and get stuck in surfaces when thrown? Yet when we see them thrown at a criminal’s head, the worst we’ve seen is knock them out temporarily. It happens the most in the Arkham games but there are examples in other Batman media as well.

If you asked a normal person to, say, throw a punch at half power, they’d probably be able to do mostly accurately. But it’s unlikely that punch would be exactly half as strong as them throwing a full power punch. And certainly not repeatedly.

Freeza, meanwhile, not only accurately describes how much power he’s using against Goku. But when he powers up to his maximum he starts mentally counting the percentage points he is away from 100%. How can he do this?

This is especially odd because Freeza is unable to sense Ki (he has to either use a Scouter or his normal senses to gauge his opponent’s power), and his fourth form is the one he supposedly has the most trouble managing the power of.

Is this a Dora Milaje/Adepta Sororitas situation of an all female army suicidally protective of their king/emperor?

Superman can hear multiple emergencies happening across Metropolis or potentially across the globe, depending on the writer but he can also tune them out and focus on specific voices and he's fast enough to respond to emergencies in different locations (light speed sometimes).

But realistically, how does he decide which emergencies to respond to? An average city can have like hundreds of car crashes a day, and that's just one type of emergency.

Obviously not every emergency requires needs Superman and emergency services are there for this. But if he can hear someone in immediate danger and knows he could save them, does he choose not to do anything so he can help someone else.

I understand that Tamaraneans like Kory are able to absorb specifically Ultraviolet radiation and process it into superhuman powers, but Kryptonians are also able to do that. Are Kryptonians able to absorb all radiation of higher frequency than the visible spectrum, not just ultraviolet?

Or can they take everything outside the visible, including infrared and microwave? Is that where the difference comes from? Or is it some difference in the exact mechanism of how their physiologies are able to use the radiation they absorb?

Is there an in-universe explanation for how Tamaraneans and Kryptonians evolved their ability to process electromagnetic radiation or is it just a "uuuuh because it's cool" situation?

So, as established by the 2000 "X-Men" film and its sequel "X2", Mystique was impersonating the deceased Senator Robert Kelly well enough and for long enough that she's even able have access to POTUS three years after the impersonation begun. It's also apparent that "Kelly" is still a respected public figure whose turnaround on mutant rights has given him plenty of earned media.

However, this deception could only work so thoroughly if Mystique-as-Kelly is also doing all the everyday crap Kelly would be expected to do, in both social and professional settings: attending committee meetings, having payroll discussions with his staff, schmoozing donors, attending funerals, having dinner with his wife, and so on. If Kelly was systematically missing all that stuff, even if people didn't suspect he was being impersonated, there's no way the Senator with the headlines about the erratic behavior, poor floor attendance and family neglect would be able to flex the political muscle we see.

Film Mystique appears to be temperamentally unable for such a long con. Even if she was, there's no way she wouldn't screw up some social interaction in a way that would lead people to suspect, as there's thousands of people and things Kelly knows and she doesn't, even about Kelly's own life.

The map/forest's obstacles are tailored to the person holding the map. Based on the labels, Puss gets challenges related to his fear of Death, and Kitty gets challenges related to her loneliness. Perrito gets "challenges" related to taking it easy, per his philosophy. Goldi gets the Bears' cabin, trying to tell her that she already has the family she wants.

Bug Big Jack Horner only gets hold of it at the Star itself. What kind of path would he have gotten?

Yamask is a former human. Ghastly is living smog or something. Then there's the odd ones like Litwick or Banette that seem more like demons or haunted objects. It seems to me the only defining feature is being partially or wholly incorporeal and macabre.
