dc - What and with what was Luthor doing in the ship at the end of the movie?


After Doomsday was defeated, a spec-ops team sent to the Kryptionian ship in Metropolis found Luthor submerged in water, in front of a... thing, which "held" three metal cubes. The thing looked up, roars, and dissipates into thin air.


???



What the hell was that all about? I am really confused. What was that creature and what was Luthor doing with it?



Answer



We really don't know.


It's likely that demonic looking creature is some servant of Darkseid, but we don't know for sure.


It could be Yuga Khan (Darkseid's father), or Steppenwolf (a genral in Darkseid's army). Both wear long horned helmets, but neither really look like the creature we see in that scene. But whatever tech is being used seems to be only displaying an approximation of whoever Lex is talking to, so they probably look very different at the other end of that communication.


Those boxes are very likely Mother boxes, like the one we see in the Cyborg scene earlier in the movie. They are crazy advanced New Gods tech used for all sort of things. But, if that creature is a servant of Darkseid, those boxes could be Father boxes, which are Darkseid's version of the Mother box.


Why Lex is attempting to communicate with the creature is a mystery. He could be promising earth to Darkseid in exchange for power of protection? We don't know yet.



Ankit Sharma's answer over on the Movie Exchange is (some might say) superior to mine :)


Worth a look:



Who was the horned creature luthor was seen with in Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edition?

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 - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

Which Doctor Who works are canon?

I have been watching a Doctor Who documentary and they mentioned that Paul McGann did audio stories so he wasn't just a one-hit Doctor (and that there are novels featuring his Doctor as well). My question is: is Doctor Who canon just the show, or is it like Star Wars where some books and audios are canon and some are not? The documentary also shows that before 2005 they did audio stories where the Doctor is female and obviously that cannot be — not the female part, but the show doesn't count any female Doctors in episodes like The Day of the Doctor . Answer Nothing, and also everything The definitive piece of writing on Doctor Who canon is this blog post by writer Paul Cornell . I'm essentially going to be summarizing his post here, much less eloquently, but one section I want to quote directly is this: Nobody at the BBC has ever uttered a pronouncement about what is and isn't canonical. (As I'm sure they'd put it, being such enthusiasts for good grammar.) Be...
