Question: When John is telling Lawrence about the argument with Ben, John says that Ben would have taken Gwen away from him. Does this mean that John was secretly in love with Gwen?
Answer: Of course, probably not real love, but he wanted to possess her.
Question: Who was the 4th person killed? In the when he confronts Toby, he says "Help me understand why 4 ppl died..." To my count, there were 3 ppl killed: 1. The customer in the bank in Post 2. Ranger Parker 3. Tanner (Ben Foster). (01:33:20)
Answer: The fourth person killed was the security guard in the bank at Post. He was killed just before the bank customer.
Question: Dale only pretended to be installing the radio antenna on Hank's roof, so Hank would allow Dale to have it on his own roof. How could Hank stop Dale from installing what he wants on his property?
Answer: The neighbourhood seems to have a Homeowners Association (HOA). Other episodes mention the neighbourhood having a block charter. Hank is the Block Captain. The antenna might be breaking a rule, or people could complain to Hank.
Question: How old is Mayday supposed to be in this movie? It's supposed to take place 16 months (one year and four months) after Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which makes no sense. Peter would've had to re-marry MJ in his universe just like that and nine months later, their daughter is born, so Mayday is three months old?
Answer: Who's saying they got married first? They reconciled, she got pregnant at some point, and they got married whenever. Do we even know if they are married? Mayday could be as old as 7 months. She's crawling and seems to have basic motor functions like pulling her hat down, so she's likely at the older end of that scale. While she's big-ish, she's not talking or anything, so she can't be that old. Plenty of younger babies still have a lot of hair, plus we can't be 100% sure how his universe works, in terms of child development or indeed be sure that time passes at exactly the same rate as Miles'.
Okay, you made a fair point on the whole marriage thing.
Answer: She is an infant; she appears to be around 3 or 4 months old.
Question: When the typist realizes that three Ryan brothers have died, they eventually take the information to an officer with one arm. Would someone with such a permanent disability be allowed to stay in the service, even in a non-combat role? Was it a wartime measure?
Answer: There would be absolutely no reason for him not to remain in the service; he's a colonel, an important officer, and as you say, he's not in combat, so how would it disqualify him? As it's not a disability that would (significantly) affect his ability to discharge his duties, it would be strange to not allow a high-ranking officer to continue in his role, wartime or not.
Question: This question pertains to all of the Harry Potter movies: What's to keep even one rogue wizard (from the academies) from taking over the world, ruining economies, or blackmailing individual countries? (Voldemort and his allies seem to concentrate on attacking Potter and Hogwarts, not the world, and anyway, the Ministry doesn't seem to stop him.)
Answer: The ministry wasn't seeming to stop him because they couldn't. He was extremely powerful, with a lot of followers, and was able to use magic to hide his crimes. He wanted a pure-blood world, which was strange because he was half-blood (he mostly just hated "mudbloods," though). His ancestry to Salazar Slytherin was one of his main goals to purify the Wizarding race. It is very possible that, after controlling the wizards and getting rid of dangers for him, he would have moved on to control the Muggle world and kill whoever stood in his way.
Answer: One rogue wizard would be incapable of such a feat. For one thing, most wizards had little interest in, or understanding of, how the Muggle world worked - including technology, financial systems, military functions, infrastructure, and so on. Destroying the Muggle world would only result in the wizarding world collapsing, so there would be no benefit whatsoever. Even other dark wizards would think this was insane and would likely prevent one crazed wizard from attempting it. Gellert Grindelwald wanted to enslave Muggles in the mid-20th century but was defeated.
Question: Benjamin and Gabriel both agree that moving Charlotte and the children to the Gullah encampment would be a safe place to hide. How is living out in the open by the ocean a safe place to hide?
Answer: It's the idea of hiding in plain sight, somewhere your enemy is unlikely to look. Tavington and Cornwallis are both upper class Brits and would not likely think of a village of slaves/ex-slaves as somewhere a gentleman would go. Nor would they likely know of any connection they would have there.
Question: What happened to Alex's journals and equations when he left on his trip?
Answer: When Alexander is travelling through time, he sees everything in his lab being removed very quickly, so the equations on his board were most likely erased and his journals were probably thrown away.
Question: Why didn't Leia keep the bomb she'd had earlier when she turned Chewbacca over to Jabba, when she unfroze Han?
Answer: She likely wasn't allowed to keep it, as it would be considered a continued threat to Jabba and his minions. To claim the reward, she probably had to relinquish it. Voluntarily surrendering it would be a show of "good faith" once Leia (posing as a bounty hunter) got the payment for Chewbacca. Wanting to keep it would be suspicious.
Rusty and the Boulder - S5-E26
Question: Why does Rusty switch between his large-scale model and his small-scale model throughout the episode?
Answer: Because in that episode, they had to use his small scale model to interact with Thomas and Percy.
Question: Did Emily scream because she saw Samara going after Jake?
Answer: Yes, people are able to witness her killing someone, just like in the first movie, where Becca witnessed Samara killing Katie.
Question: What was the deal with Dr. Chamberlain? Was he not a real doctor and just a waiter? Or was he possibly a temp and had more than one job?
Answer: He was actually a waiter that Viola paid/bribed to pretend to be a doctor.
Question: Why did Cecil tell Charlotte to give him the sovereign? Wasn't he owed only 15 shillings by Freddy? A sovereign's 20 shillings so was he gonna give Freddy back the other 5 shillings? I don't understand, please explain.
Answer: He was owed 15 shillings and a pound (in those days) was 20 shillings. Since he was owed most of a pound, he thought, "just give me the pound and call it even." He wasn't going to give change.
Question: Can anyone explain how Ray managed to get the Doctor to help him? Ray told him to read the book in Hobbes' office, then all of a sudden the Doctor is willing to help.
Answer: It proved to the doctor that Ray was who he said he was.
Question: Why doesn't Boris the Animal kill Jeffrey Price after he gets the Time Jump Device? He doesn't seem to have problems killing anyone else who gets in his way or helps him. (I don't think saying that if he killed Jeffrey, there's no way J can go into the past is sufficient as that's a plot device.) (00:11:25)
Answer: He may not have known about the son when he killed Obadiah in the space prison. He thought no one else had a time device. Besides, he was completely focused on his mission. He thought of nothing else.
Question: If time travel was banned throughout the universe and they imprisoned Obadiah Price as the inventor (time 1), why didn't MIB confiscate the devices and continually make sure his son Jeffrey never has the devices or lets others use them? He has a log book and Boris the Animal's entry is more than a few pages in (time 2). (00:30:21 - 00:32:00)
Answer: They did, but the son had the knowledge in his head, so he did it in secret. The son dealt in black market devices.
Question: In the scene at the House of Blue Leaves, (right after the Bride kills GoGo), O-Ren is holding Gogo's small sword. She begins to unsheathe it before stabbing it into the railing. What was the point of it? Was she upset because Gogo died, or was she contemplating suicide in lieu of facing the Bride?
Answer: To be honest, it's a mix of both. O-ren and B were close in the hit squad. B knew O-ren's backstory, suggesting a shared past. They had common interests, spoke Japanese, and used samurai swords. O-ren confided in B and may have been her squad member. O-ren shared her shame with GoGo, indicating a deep bond. Bill supported O-ren's Tokyo takeover, indicating their closeness. Their shared dialogue suggests an inside joke. O-ren contemplates suicide for betraying her friend and killing her child. She feels remorse for failing to defeat Beatrix and cares for GoGo, who died protecting her. When the 88's arrive, O-ren resolves to fight for honor and avenge GoGo. She knows Beatrix will defeat the 88's, so she prepares for their upcoming battle.
Answer: If you watch closely, when Esther is carrying the bible (before Daniel knocks it out of her hand), it does look like the pictures are in the pages. However, when the papers scatter, the pictures are not visible on the floor. They were covered by the pile of pages on the floor. The pictures must have been there, or else Esther wouldn't have been panicking to gather all of the pages.
