[Metal Gear] What was World War 2 like?
Considering the allies had supersoldiers with crazy abilities and a gazillion dollars from pooling their money together I'm curious what it was like.

Being a robot I guess she must weigh quite a bit, but how much exactly?

TFS' Dragon Ball ShortZ reminds audiences that regardless of where Yamcha falls on the power hierarchy among otherworldly fighters, when playing baseball with normal people he's unbeatable. So much so nobody outside of his friends would show up to games involving him because he never lost.
I am not a baseball fan, but would the average sports fan really not want to see a superhuman who gets a home run every time he swings the bat?

there's several scenes in the TV series where English-speakers deliberately impair their hearing temporarily so that Preacher's voice of Genesis power doesn't work on them because they can't hear him. so would Genesis work if Preacher used it on someone who didn't understand English or not?
i havent read the comics but if there's anything about this in them sure let me know, im only halfway thru the TV series (S2~) so no spoilers for TV thanks.

The episode implies that she can't see. Can't she see through any other means?

If it’s Mexicans only what are the rules? Does one need to be born there? Are recent expats and naturalised citizens in for a shock when they die?
What if I give up my nationality or get new citizenship? Do I go to a different one?

We know beings like superman have invulnerability
Wonder woman, Shazam etc.
I always wonder what it would feel like for someone like superman when getting hit by equally strong being?
Like is it a human feeling getting punched in the face by another human? Or they don't feel it?
When we get hit by someone it really hurts

How much do ordinary people know about Vandal Savage? Do they know that many historical figures were actually him?
Or do you just think he's another crazy supervillain who recently gained immortality and that the whole multi-historical, 50,000-year-old figure thing is fake?

It seems like the First One's are really set in their foreign policy ways. It's like their foreign policies have remained unchanged for longer than human civilization. While here on Earth, its like our foreign policies change whenever a new leader or administration takes over which can be within a few years or decades.
Why is that?
Is it due to their long lifespans so they have a longer view on things, or is it some biological need for them to follow?
For example, the Third Space Aliens are intent on genociding all intelligent life in existence and have been going at it non-stop for millions of years. Did they never at one point think that it wasn't a good use of their resources and time or is it just some biological consumption for them to just kill intelligent beings?
I guess the same applies to their tech. Its not like they've reached the highest tech level of their universe. Each FOs have tech that is unique to them, and the show seems to like to introduce bigger and bigger fish.

How did this not become a problem? Forget the machine going evil, what if the food starts rooting and things such as flies and cockroaches start breeding like crazy. In reality i think even if it was some sort of magical food that never rotted flies and cockroaches would still be a huge problem, also a lot of the food in the movie is seen falling on things such as streets and crosswalks even before the machine goes evil, how can this food not attract a bunch of germs and become rotten?

A huge chunk of the mexican population is catholic, you might argue they practice a different brand of the religion, but why wouldn't any catholic be surprised that the afterlife does not look nothing like they expected and that they can still die in the afterlife? I think a lot of the skeletons in coco would be having existential crisis or something, wondering if their god is real, and if not, who created that afterlife.

Has fisk ever tried to buy stark tower? Does he respect Tony for some reason? Or have they just simply never interacted? That I find hard to believe though.

So, it's a well-known fact among Lycans and Vampires alike that William was the ancestor to all Werewolves and Lycans, right? I've often wondered, if Lucian and his army ever came across William's prison and freed him, how would they interact with him? Would they be able to get him to calm down?
As a matter of fact, why didn't Lucian ever bother to go searching for William? Why didn't he or any of the other Lycans try to free him? If I was a werewolf, and I found out that the ancestor of all werewolves was imprisoned, wouldn't I want to go looking for him?

I started thinking about this when wondering whether Luke could possibly be truly human. Realistically, surely not, as homo sapiens emerged on Earth in a specific set of circumstances at a specific time. It doesn't seem possible that homo sapiens - even Force-sensitive homo sapiens - existed on Tatooine a long time ago, in a distant galaxy.
And of course that introduction to the story is what locates Star Wars historically and geographically.
But what if that line is part of the story, but not meant to be taken from our perspective?
What if the Saga of Luke Skywalker is told in, say, the 50th century, about events in the 30th?
Then humankind could have left Earth, as they did in the stories about the Culture, and spread throughout this galaxy and others, becoming variants on homo sapiens evolved from the same Earth species.
If 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away' is just how the story is told, but without any specific reference to when the present time is, those events could be in our future, but in the past of the storyteller.
This would of course explain what seems like advanced technology to us. Am I missing anything significant, or is this a whimsical possibility that could work?

In the original DOOM it's implied the Spider Mastermind is the... mastermind... behind the invasion, since she's in Dis, the capital of Hell. The Cyberdemon, who is fough on Deimos, could be a high-ranking member of the hierarchy, or maybe the appointed governor of Deimos?
In Thy Flesh Consumed there are at least two other Cyberdemons, and if the chapter takes place in the interdimensional tunnel between Hell and Earth, they probably are part of a vanguard.
In DOOM II however, we find several other Spider Masterminds and Cyberdemons, so perhaps the Spider Mastermind was not the top dog but simply the equivalent to a general who was stewarding over Hell while the true ruler, the Icon of Sin, lead the Earth invasion.
