Why is it forbidden for any alien species to visit Earth in Marvel NOW?


Why is it forbidden for any alien species to visit Earth in Marvel NOW? I read this on the Star-Lord wiki page. Does this extend to other Marvel Universes?



Answer



The short answer is because Freyja, the All-Mother said so.




  • A collective of galactic empires considered destroying the Earth because it has been at the center of galactic events more than once and yet does not even have a stellar empire to speak of.





  • Freyja (presumably speaking for the Asgardians) sensing potential treachery, warns the leaders of said empires she would fight to protect Earth as Odin did before her. She warns them to "be content with you have."

A bit more detailed:


The Earth has been considered a threat to the other galactic empires on Marvel Earth-616. The Galactic Council comprised of the largest and most powerful forces in the current Marvel galaxy decreed Earth off-limits due to their potential threat to life in the Universe.





  • The council recounts the number of times Earth has either been at the center of galactic conflict or has due to the prodigious number of metahuman beings of galactic capacity there, engaged in conflicts beyond their technological capacity.




  • This includes defeating galactic menaces such as Thanos or the Phoenix force and rebuffing attacks from the previously unstoppable World-Eater, Galactus. The Earth has the rare distinction of having a Watcher assigned to it. (The Watchers are a species of galactic monitors that track significant events that take place in the cosmos.)




  • The Council included: King J-son of the Royal Conclave of Spartax, The Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire (very different in appearance, perhaps a newer upgrade) Gladiator, Leader of the Shi'ar empire (no idea what happened to Vulcan), Young Annihilus (assumed replacement for the earlier Annihilus killed by Richard Rider/Nova Prime), The current Queen of the Brood, and the All-Mother of the Asgardians, Freyja (No idea where Odin or Thor are) and Y-Gaaar of the Brotherhood of the Badoon.

These screenshots are from Guardians of the Galaxy (2013) #2. These events have nothing to do with other universes including the Ultimates Universe (whose existence is in question) nor the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-199999.

harry potter - Do the Kwikspell courses work?

In Harry Potter we are introduced to Kwikspell course in The Chamber of Secrets (and never hear about it again). We see Filch taking courses, presumably by mail. The descriptions of Kwikspell make me think it is for people who are weak in magic (kind of like how Neville was supposed to be when he was younger), but had magic in them nonetheless. However, Ron's comments later in the chapter make it sound like it is mainly for Squibs to learn magic. However, it is strongly implied through out all the books that Squibs are essentially Muggles, and will never be able to do magic. How then is a Kwikspell course supposed to work? Do we have any information to know if it works at all? Is it a scam? An answer from any level of canon is welcome. Answer Kwikspell courses are (probably) useful to some wizards, but not to squibs. The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...

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.

languages - Do we ever see written English in the Star Wars films?

In Empire Strikes Back , we see a transcription of what R2's beeps and bloops mean, but it's not English (sorry for the low quality, it's from the 2004 DVDs): I'd assume it's what Basic looks like when written, but is there some point in the the Star Wars films we see written English instead? (This sort of spun off from a discussion in How do people understand astromech droids? .) Answer At one point there was English but it has been phased out in subsequent versions of the films. Chris Gould at DVD Active did a comparison of all versions of each of the Star Wars films, and in his comparison of Episode 4 , there are a couple of screenshots showing how the power gauge for the Death Star tractor beam was changed. I imagine there are probably more to be found in his other comparisons but I haven't got around to reading those yet.

Was the "pure soul" of Harry's what had really hurt Voldemort?

In the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort possesses Harry, and it hurts. Greatly. I think that Dumbledore explained that it was because Voldemort's rotten soul was incapable of assimilating Harry's pure soul, that Voldemort didn't understand the love and friendship etc that Harry has in his heart. But, I think it was a lie. Remember that in Deathly Hallows, while looking for information regarding Horcruxes, it is discovered that it is in fact possible to merge a soul fragment back, but that the process was extremely painful. Now then, if Voldemort tried to possess Harry, and Harry had a fragment of Voldemort's soul, I think that it could have been the true cause of Voldemort's pain: the fact of having his soul so close of another fragment. I think that Dumbledore knew that fact, but had to lie to Harry because it was inappropriate to let him know that he had one of Voldemort's soul fragments at the moment. Is that right? Or was it truly the pure soul of Harry's...
