Question: Why, when KC's visiting her mother, daughter, and son, won't her son talk to nor hug her?

Rob245

Answer: Because she's a working mother who travels the road, she probably missed birthdays, holidays, and family get-togethers. She wasn't there to see his accomplishments, nor tuck him in at night.

Batman (1966)

Answer: There were three well-known actors who played Mr. Freeze, each one a different height, weight, and physique. As these were notable guest stars, the costume designers would adapt the costume to best fit each actor who likely would want to avoid comparisons to the other Mr. Freezes, incorporate their preferences, as well as refresh the look, rework whatever didn't work in previous versions, and so on.

Killer Instinct - S2-E9

Question: Did it cost the network too much to use the team names of the Bears and Browns for the championship game when the actors are dressed like those two teams?

Answer: Even today, it's totally possible to get hired for random temporary jobs without a résumé or references, especially if you're getting paid under the table. Most of my early jobs were like that. Local businesses I'm familiar with needed a hand for a few weeks, and I needed a little extra money. Boom! I got a temporary under-the-table job where I got a couple hundred bucks a week in cash to just come in and help out. Technically not legal, but lots of places do it. And from what I've read, back in the 70s a lot of these types of gigs were more widespread, hence it was easy to find them.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Plot hole: There's no reason the other villains couldn't have used Chief Underhill as a hostage to escape. After all, he's not some hardened criminal like them, nor insane. He should've been put in the same private cell as the Riddler informant who's a cop.

Amsterdamned (1988)

Plot hole: Somehow, the killer, with a scuba tank on his back which weighs a ton, can quietly sneak in and out of a poultry shop in the split second the butchers have their backs turned, to steal a knife.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Bug: Before Azrael makes his choice at the end of "Heir To The Cowl" in the Clocktower, his sword's blade appears to get longer as he approaches Batman.

Answer: The Hulk is accused of killing Dr. David Banner and Dr. Elenia Marks. After the lab explodes, McGee sees the Hulk emerge carrying the body of Dr. Marks, so he assumed the creature is guilty. It was McGee who caused the explosion. After following the trail of evidence of the Hulk to the lab, he hides when David and Elania arrive. In a darkened storage closet, he knocks over a bottle of flammable liquid. He confronts them, then is forced to leave by Banner, who says, "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." When Banner reenters the lab, it explodes, caused by the Hulk when it went on a rampage trashing the lab, causing many electrical systems to catch fire, thus igniting the flammable liquid.

Answer: The phrase "Incredible Hulk" is coined by Jack McGee in one of his tabloid articles. He's trying to find proof of the Hulk because no one takes his story seriously, so probably nobody takes his name for the creature seriously either.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Question: Are the victims of Professor Pyg, the ones Batman identifies, people who worked on the game?

Rob245

Stupidity: There's no reason the robber can't use baby Ricky, who's still in the car, as a hostage to force Billy out of hiding.

King of the Hill (1997)

Answer: I don't think this has been explained in any episode. At some point, he most likely asked people to use his full name. Perhaps he wants to highlight the "Redcorn" at all times, out of pride for his family history.

Answer: John is a common enough name that they might know several other Johns that we've never met, so they're being specific.

To Catch a Killer (2023)

Factual error: Eleanor Falco is mentioned as having substance problems. No way would the FBI recruit someone with such a problem.
