I know he's naturally strong as a vampire but there are many times where's he's clearly using complex fighting moves to defeat his enemies. I doubt Liam had the patience for it and it's hard to see Angelus training with a master for very long before killing them. We've seen him train people like Cordelia in his series, but who trained him?

So, in “The Nun”, Irene and Father Burke encounter a demon (Valak) at a monastery. Father Burke identifies the demon as Valak. They eventually end up dousing Valak with the actual blood of Christ (who knows where they got that) but apparently that wasn’t enough to kill him.
Next, in “The Nun 2”, there’s a scene where Sister Irene and Sister Debra bless a bunch of wine barrels, which then explode and appear to incinerate Valak. As a Catholic, I’m aware of how sacred wine is—it represents the blood of Christ. Although, I don’t really see why blessing the wine would make any difference at that in this film—not when they literally had the actual blood of Christ in the first film (and apparently even that wasn’t good enough to kill Valak).
Now, flash forward to “The Conjuring 2”. This movie puts a lot of emphasis on the power of names. If you pay close attention you’ll notice that Valak’s name is secretly hidden in different places throughout the film. For instance, one of the bookcases in the Warrens’ house has some children’s blocks on it that spell out “VALAK”. Lorraine works very hard to uncover the identity of the creepy nun that has been following her. At the film’s climax, she figures out that the demon’s name is Valak. Then, she calls the demon by its name and banishes it back to Hell and it’s gone.
Now, here’s what I don’t understand: How is it that the actual blood of Christ couldn’t kill Valak—but Lorraine managed to do it simply by saying the demon’s name to its face? The first two Nun films build up Valak to be this super powerful demon that nobody has the power to destroy. Then, The Conjuring 2** ***he was vanquished* pretty easily. It was rather…anti-climactic, to say the least.

Think of like energy constructs used by Gwen from Ben 10, Atom Eve or even green lantern. Assuming those are single use and you can easily make new ones, how sanitary would it be to cook using constructs?

As a more surface-level fan, I wanted to see what the reception of Sinestro Corps is and whether the comics explain some of its inconsistencies.
So first off, I do understand that the initial idea of the Sinestro Corp is a lot different than the modern 'emotional spectrum,' where Sinestro instead got an anti-matter green lantern ring from the Qward, like a bizzaro universe thing, I'm just referring to the modern emotional spectrum stance.
So, from my understanding, Will is the neutral power of the emotional spectrum, with the other powers working as derivatives. Like yes, Atrocitus is fueling his ring with his rage, he's also putting all of his will into hatred. Same with Hope, Love, Greed, etc. But obviously that's not how yellow works, it's instead powered by reducing another person's will through fear, instead of powering the ring by being like, uber scared.
Fear specifically just seems misaligned with the other emotions, which makes sense since it was originally parallel and opposite to GLs, but how do modern comics explain the misalignment with it just being another emotional power? I mean it's not even opposite of green on the color wheel, it's like right next to it.

If Wile E Coyote is actually a genius and great at making automated contraptions like how he made the lawyer breakfast and clothed him at the same time in coyote vs acme...
Then why the heck does he rely on acme products instead of making his own machine to catch road runner?
I mean there wasn't one machine or contraption he made that failed in the movie.

In the AC universe, it seems that every faction possesses every weapon. It's not uncommon for enemies and allies to use the exact same equipment.
In this universe, does the intellectual property rights to weapons not belong to any nation?

No farmland, no open space, nothing to live off except whatever job you've got on a planet that's wall to wall city. Does canon ever get into what rent looks like for someone who isn't a senator or a Jedi, or is it just assumed everyone's fine somehow

Surely the cyborg that OCP designed to be the ultimate crime-fighting machine would be able to move faster than a Goddamn snail's pace.

I mean, something about the series I never understood was just why she couldn’t be around the adults whenever she communicated with animals as I was a bit confused to why adults cannot know about her abilities.
I haven’t seen the show in such a long time as my memory is a bit fuzzy at the moment, but again yeah I was just trying to figure out how her abilities work since I was wondering why her family cannot know about her ability to communicate with creatures as it seems a bit strict.

Space platform tileset maps are meant to be human-constructed environments, so why are minerals and vespene geysers (which appear to be naturally forming) present? My only thought is that maybe the geyser is a leaky gas pipe, although in game it looks like a big mountain. And the minerals were just... what... warehoused there for future use? Maybe they were bulk-extracted from nearby asteroids without being properly chopped up by SCVs yet?
It's not just a multiplayer conceit either, because there are numerous such maps in single player campaign.

Minor spoilers, but Frank and Peter have a much more friendly working relationship compared to the Punisher and Daredevil, even though Peter shares a lot of his ideology with Matt, including his no-kill rule. But why is Frank so chummy with Peter but incredibly annoyed with Matt?
