timeline - Do Judy and Peter remember anything from the events in Jumanji?


According to this answer, the game Jumanji teaches its players important life lessons.



Jumanji appears to be an artifact designed to teach the players important values, as games often do, but with a far more sensory-immersion effect. Considering when the game ends, the lessons learned are lasting moral ones, learned under realistic conditions with examples of the consequences of actions fully displayed.




Not just Sarah and Alan play the game, but Judy and Peter as well. However, after finishing the game, we see the timeline reset to the moment where Sarah and Alan started playing. The movie then ends 26 years into the future of a new timeline, where the Parrish shoe factory has remained successful (or grown even more so), and where Alan and Sarah are married and about to meet a new employee, his wife, and their two kids: Judy and Peter. Sarah and Alan of course recognise them, but do Judy and Peter recognise Sarah and Alan in turn?
And are Sarah and Alan the only ones who learned anything from playing Jumanji, or have Judy and Peter learned important lessons as well (like not cheating) in turn for their troubles?


Do Judy and Peter remember anything from the events in Jumanji, from a game they haven't played in the new timeline?



Answer



No; Peter and Judy do not remember the events of the movie, as they do not remember Sarah and Allen.


As previously mentioned, there is a clear distinction between the surprise of Sarah and Allen, who remember the events and recognise the children, to the unresponsiveness of Peter and Judy, who do not remember the events nor Sarah and Allen.


Furthermore, the children to react with confusion, when Allen says that they are 'just as he remembers them'. This feels especially conclusive; had the children remembered the events, they might still pretend to be meeting Sarah and Allen for the first time, but they would not be confused by the two recognising them.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
