Why do some directors change pronunciation of character's names? @SystemDown: Thanks, I rather take your word for it over someone who asked their daughter to ask the language department. I also read elsewhere that the "Ras" pronunciation fits with the "The Demon's Head" meaning, whereas "Raysh" meant something totally inappropriate. |

Why do some directors change pronunciation of character's names? @SystemDown: Apparently the Language Dept. of UCLA said 'it was "Raysh" - with a kind of rolling of the "r" sound at the beginning of the word.' |

What would have to happen to merge the Spider-man franchise and the Avengers franchise? From @Oliver_C's link: I told Avi [Arad, Spider-Man series producer] and Matt that I realize it’s a business impossibility to share the characters, (“Thank you for understanding that” - Matt Tolmach [producer, The Amazing Spider-Man] to me)... |

Where did the worm that appeared in the black goo chamber come from? 30,000 years ago a squirrel buried some seeds in a Siberian river bank. Russian scientists discovered the Pleistocene seeds in the permafrost and successfully grew them in the lab, they produced flowers, fruit, and went to seed. Israeli scientists have grown 2,000 year old date palm seeds found in the excavation of an ancient mountain fortress. So in science fiction, it's plausible alien goo and alien worms could do something similar after only 2,000 years. |
