Nitpick a beloved fictional universe!

Warhammer 40k takes itself WAAAAAAAAAAY to seriously. Especially when you have ork vehicles that move faster if they are painted red.

Orks have a lot of psycic energy. They can move faster because they accidently add power to them using that, when they belive that it works. Same with their guns. They shouldn't work. But because so many orks, all belive that they do, and should, They do.

Basically, their vehicles go faster, because they belive they should. I think it's brilliant.

I know that's how it works I have a ork army, Its just kind of funny when you have this game trying to be super serious grimdark, and then have orks making ramshackle vehicles with clap your hands and believe magic. I love orks I think they are the most interesting army in 40k but the universe as a whole is a bit silly.

Middle-Earth: There are humans, hobbits, elves and dwarves, but the ones who invent dynamite are the orks? What?

I mean, the others have gandalf. Hes lived thousand of years, surely he would know something that could help with the invention of it?

I'm assuming you mean Uruk-hai, right? And I'm fairly certain it was stated that Sarumon was the wizard that was big on new technology like the crossbow and explosives. Only makes sense he'd research and develop something like that if he planned to go to war.

The underaged wizard/witch Trace in Harry Potter.

Does it work based on the person's home, in which case, why does Harry not get in trouble in book 6, when Dumbledore uses magic willy-nilly to annoy the holy fuck out of the Dursleys? And why is he, Ron, and Hermione so worried about his using magic before he officially turns 17 in book 7?

Does it work based on the person him/herself? If so, why does Harry get in trouble for Dobby's (NON-WIZARD) magic when Dobby isn't even standing close to him in book 2? And why then did they say that in Wizarding homes, the parents are entrusted with ensuring their kids don't use magic during holidays?

...just a little consistency, please!

If we start pointing out plot holes, inconsistencies and things that just do not make any sence in Harry Potter we are going to be typing for a good couple of days. For example Dumbledore knew about Voldemort's soul things for how may years and did NOTHING. Voldemort was less than a ghost for 10 years why the hell did Dumbledore not trak them down and destroy them while Vlodemort was unable to stop him?

I know, I know. I've ranted my girlfriend's ear off about these things. I would just think that something as simple as the Trace, which is constantly foiling the kids' plans and which is evidently important for keeping the Wizarding community hidden from Muggles, would have SOME consistency.

But yeah. "Greatest Wizard ever", my ass.

Marvel Comics. How come the Stamford incident prompted a Civil War when nothing else ever did? Isn't that very unusual?
