Question: This is a question for all Deadpool films. Why does Deadpool bother wearing a face mask considering most of the people in the films (villains and good guys) already know his real identity and even refer to him as Wade? Is it just a pride thing or something?
Question: There is a mistake stating that the stick used to make Jack's dog levitate is sometimes visible, and gives when Jack is alone on the mountain as an example (ID: 84218). I watched the scene (when Jack sings "Jack's Lament"), as well as went through the film, but I was unable to see what was referred to. I still want to believe the mistake is correct, so can someone please give a timestamp as to where the stick shows up (I was watching the Disney+ copy; perhaps that version is edited?)?
Question: At the end of the film, how do Claude and Ray afford to live, much less have the money to attend a baseball game? They were both declared dead in a fire.
Answer: Being dead, they would have to get new I.D.s and social security numbers. Being elderly, they'd grift themselves to the proper agencies about being denied their benefits: elderly, disability and pension from the "companies" they worked for.
Question: At the end, when Julie gets to her new home, she taps the newly sold sign, then she gets her mail and goes inside. How does she have mail if she just started living there?
Answer: Also, we are led to believe that this entire ending is a dream sequence, not unlike the ending to the previous film. And, as we all know, in dreams nothing really matters. Also, we simply do not know how long it has been since Julie and Ray moved in. Maybe they just haven't taken the sign down yet.
Question: Was Jane lying when she said that she decorated the Maitland home (she wanted Lydia to mention this to her parents)?
Answer: Jane appears to be taking credit for what Barbara and Adam had done. At the beginning of the movie, the Maitlands are discussing the home projects they've been working on. Adam has been refinishing cabinetry while Barbara has chosen wallpaper, and they're spending their two-week vacation working on the house.
Answer: It's never answered in the film if she actually decorated the house for Adam and Barbara, but there isn't really any reason to doubt it.
My interpretation was that Jane was always chasing a buck. She aggressively pestered Adam and Barbara to sell the house just to earn a commission. She was hustling the Deetzes for her decorating services. Regarding Barbara and Adam, they just didn't want anyone in their beloved house, much less having it redecorated after all the work they did on it.
But if she actually did, then I wonder if they would care as much about the Deetzes remodeling the home?
This is a stretch, but maybe Jane wanted to keep the house as close to how Adam and Barbara had it, like a shrine. It's not uncommon for those who lost loved ones to try and keep things as close to what was possible.
What I meant was, why would Adam and Barbara, not Jane, be so upset about the remodeling if Jane did the decorating anyway? Granted, they apparently chose to live with it.
That was probably a comfort thing. They learned they were going to spend over a century in that house, and it would be one thing if it was closer to what they were comfortable with, but the Deetzes' style was too much for them.
Question: How come Diana's not electrocuted like Barbara is, given she's wearing armor, and metal conducts electricity?
Answer: Probably because they are biologically different, even though Barbara had wished for similar physical characteristics as Diana. Wonder Woman is nearly indestructible. Also, the armour is Amazon-made and may have supernatural properties that insulate it against electricity. There are likely various other reasons, but it comes down to Wonder Woman being superhuman and the armour not being regular metal.
Question: Just out of curiosity, since Blade isn't 100% human or vampire, can he still eat regular food, or only blood?
Answer: Vampires in this franchise can eat food; they just require blood because, as Whistler stated in the first film, their own blood can't sustain hemoglobin. Since Blade's only weakness is that he also needs to consume blood (or a serum as a substitute), this means he can eat regular food as well.
Question: In this episode, it mentions that the groups are always 4 humans and an animal. What was the Darrow Family's animal?
Answer: Their animal was a white cat. In "Come Undone," the last episode of season 2, right at the start, there's a shot of "The Mystery Fellowship and their cat, Whiskers"; also in this shot is young Danny Darrow with his family.
Question: Andrew was obviously 200 years old when he died. How old do you suppose Portia was when she passed away?
Answer: Between 125 to 150 years old, her life was extended by the artificial body parts developed by Rupert Burns. Andrew traveled the world for nearly 50 years before returning home, at which point Portia was about 25 years old.
50 years? I thought Little Miss said he had been gone for 20 years?
Question: Other than wanting to be with the "cool kids," why exactly did Randall end his friendship with Mike?
Question: On the death of Commander Powell, wouldn't Lieutenant Doolittle have been promoted to commander?
Answer: Just because he was forced to take command doesn't guarantee him a promotion.
Question: When Charles is being dropped off at the Boatman, why do his friends start making siren sounds?
Question: Why doesn't Superman ask the League to help him find and destroy all Kryptonite on Earth?
Question: How could the police car still work like normal after Arnie literally crushed its front?
Answer: Depending on what exactly was damaged when he landed on the hood, it may still be able to run for a while before the damage destroys the engine beyond use.
Question: When Obi-Wan accused the son of being Sith, what did he mean by yes and no?
Answer: The Son is not truly a Sith because he doesn't subscribe to Sith beliefs, nor was he a part of the early Sith Empire or the new "Rule of Two" Sith Order. He is merely a personification of the Dark Side of the Force itself.
Question: Is the song "Evil Incarnate" a real song, or was it composed for the movie?
Answer: It was written for the movie.

Answer: She's a smart ass, know-it-all. A delinquent who never grew. I have a sister who is the exact same way.
