Answer: Bruce can't have human kids, but Hulk has entirely different physiology, and Skaar's mother is no doubt not human either. Changes the dynamic entirely.

Show generally

Question: How can Obi-Wan believe that Anakin died after their fight on Mustafar? The movies make it clear that a Force-user can feel when a close friend or loved one is still alive, or is in pain. Yoda even sensed that Anakin was in "terrible pain" after Anakin turned, and Obi-Wan had a closer friendship with Anakin than he did.

Answer: He believed Anakin died. Anything he felt for him, he believed was just memories, sadness, and guilt for his friend. An emotional feeling filled with pain. Plus, Anakin did die. Only Darth Vader lived. A Sith Lord filled with hate and bitterness.

Answer: I would say it's a contrived plot convenience to fit the new story line. It's common (and annoying) for a series reboot/sequel to change previous plot details for a revised narrative. Writers either think viewers won't notice or care.

Episode 11 - S1-E11

Question: The aliens that capture Andor and the other escaped prisoner in the web gun at first are talking about turning them in for money or killing them. They talk about then poisoning the water with the prisons. Hard to understand them, and Andor begs them to be let go. Then suddenly, the two aliens are not only letting Andor and his friend go, but they let them take their ship. We're confused and don't understand why they suddenly helped Andor and let him take the ship.

Answer: I agree that the aliens' motivation is not clear, and this may all be a writer's shortcut to get Andor and Melshi on to the next part of the story. But I believe they are very disgruntled with the Empire, and I suspect they may be pretending to be more hostile than they really are, just to wind Andor and Melshi up. So - with no other evidence - I think they give up their ship because it messes with the Empire, it helps some mistreated prisoners escape, and the aliens have nothing better to do than walk back to their homes.

Season 1 generally

Question: In the opening sequence, Elsa narrates that violence "stranded us on the beaches of New Jersey." What happened in New Jersey that she was referring to?

Answer: Elsa's narration is a loose timeline, before 1883 (the origin story show). Elsa states "violence has always haunted" her family. They, who travelled, suffered on the overcrowded immigrant "coffin ships" (called this because so many died) sailing to North America. Upon their arrival in the new country, they were "stranded" when the ship landed in New Jersey, at one of the immigrant landing depots on the Northeastern shores. (Then, they served in the armies during the American Civil War, "devoured" at the bloody Shiloh and Antietam battlefields.)

Answer: As Reacher had arrived in town just after the murder occurred and being a stranger, he became a suspect (or at least a person of interest) and taken into custody for questioning by the police. He was released fairly quickly. It was coincidental timing of an outsider arriving at the same time as the crime occurred.
