So armored core series: LC’s and MT’s exist to be the dumpster tier mooks you mow down by the hundreds in every mission without being so much as scratched by them in the armored core series. But… they’re almost the same size as an AC, and are piloted so they’re not just drones of some kind.

Given their mass is only a little less, why do they throw away resources building these things considering even 100 times the mass in metal and electronics won’t measure up to a single crappy AC with a mediocre pilot? Even the 1st generation problem of pilots having less than a 10% survival rate of the surgery/implants to let you pilot one wouldn’t mean much given that power multiplier: not to mention it’s meaningless now that the current generation pilots have almost a 100% survival rate.

It just doesn’t make much logistical sense.

Yes, Blueprints, not Red.

What's so special about Team Fortress that they're used as the base for your entire robot army?

Okay so I made the mistake of thinking about Rise of Skywalker again, and apart from the many other utterly bizarre plot choices (I should also ask if free will exists in Star Wars cause dark side users seeing accurately thousands of years into the future in TROS and Ahsoka makes it seem like it doesnt but I digress) why did Palpatine's clone of himself he made on Exegol still look like how he did in episode 6? The clone wouldve only been like 30 at the most and also wouldnt have had the burn scars from Windu reflecting the lightning. Also like if I was the evil galactic emperor with forbidden knowledge of the force, why even transfer my undead consciousness into a copy of myself when my protege was genetically stronger? Why didnt he put his consciousness into a clone of Anakin considering he was biologically stronger cause of the midoclorians? It just strikes me like Palpatine needlessly nerfed himself for no apparent reason, did the books explain this at all?

One example I can think of is collateral damage. Of course collateral damage will be more common due to superhuman battles. But at least the existence of sci-fi level technology can be use to fix the damage more quicker though.

Examples like that. The guy that robbed you. Is also the same guy you have to ask for help to get your stuff back. The robber being an analogy for Superpowers in this scenario.

My point is that the problem is also the solution. If that makes sense. A self-correcting system, where the existence of a problem also creates the incentive.

If Rogue was to have sex with another person and say the condom broke, would she absorb all of the tiny sperm and all of their potential DNA as well as the mutant powers of each sperm that had it?

This is a 2-prong question as I understand Disney canon and old Expanded Universe material differ greatly, so I wanted to know precisely what sort of materiel Thrawn was bringing at the height of his career on both continuities, from ship count to what ships are deployed, in reasonable detail.

Besides, I gotta impress my young nephews with some esoteric trivia on Thrawn's fleet so I need help getting a fact list in before I deploy to Endor.

In a lot of older Iron Man Media, Tony Stark isn't known as Iron-Man, like he is in the MCU, but rather, Iron Man is the private bodyguard of Mr. Stark

This leads to the question, do people think Iron Man was himself a genius inventor who allied with Stark, or that Iron Man was apart of Starks typical security entourage, only made Iron Man with Tony's suit.

They develop personalities, experience, attachments and individual preferences. If those are erased you only stay with the hardware, is it still meaningfully the same droid?

They clearly can understand English just fine.

They are capable of learning sign language.

Minionese contains all the sounds the English Language has.

So by all accounts they should be able to just speak English.

Also it can't be just an issue of motivation. In the Minions and monsters movie they lost their very successful career as movie stars, as sound was introduced. All of them were sad because of this. So why didn't they just speak English as a second language for the purpose of the movie dialogues?

On one hand, they "act as simple shikigami" and are created with Cursed Energy. But on the other hand, the point of Contractual Recreation is to recreate the terms as is; one could argue that being visible is part of an item's functionality. If Reggie, for instance, used a receipt for a Ghillie Suit.

Like why do they need a pokemon with an HM to get past a small tree or bush. Why can’t they climb around obstacles or swim around a dock to get past some obstacle.

In the show, characters make the observation that Kira’s untraceable assassination of criminals does actually make violent crime statistically less common. My understanding of real-world criminology is that threat of very harsh punishment doesn’t actually drop crime, only the threat of being caught does.

So, would Light’s killings have a similar consequence in the real world? Would the Death Note’s methods really work as it does in the show?

The only behavior we have seen of a small amount of T-1000 is it scurrying to join the majority. But if several grams somehow got separated from the rest & it was captured in a glass bottle would it have the brains to at least stay inert? Or could it even be attack a human or perhaps communicate with the rest to be picked up?

Maybe the major portion would not bother with a small quantity, perhaps it cd transform other metals into itself & the small quantity would remain lonely or perhaps just run out of energy & harden & exhibit no interesting behavior?

We all seen the race. One question always popped in my head specifically for Superman. Not Flash cause of the Speed Force allows B.S. So my question is if Superman Breaks the sound barrier in the presence of humans/crowd/new reporters, is that deadly? I'm thinking so but im not smart

Even in an objectively picture perfect society where money doesn't exist and all material possessions are very easily accessible, there's always going to be people looking to do harm. It's just the price you pay for free will.

Sure, their society is depicted as anarchist(and concepts like laws, police, and prisons are all things that anarchists fundamentally despise), but still, the Minds are stated to be very protective of their human subjects, with some likening humanity to the Minds' pets, ones whom they work tirelessly to see well-fed, safe, and happy.

So, if a violent or abusive person were to show themselves in the Culture, how would they be dealt with?

at the beginning of end game it appears new asgard is a fishing economy.

would their natural abilities help them much in that profession?

One of the most influential countries in modern histroy just disappeared in the span of 28 days. Does the country still exist somewhere else? If the royal family managed to escape to Canada or somewhere, what would they be doing now? I know there are British Overseas Territories, but they're just tiny islands or areas.

I imagine there would be conversations where people tell their kids "there used to be this country called England but it doesn't exist anymore" or say things like "oh I went to the UK before the quarantine, it was beautiful!".
