In A Clash of Kings, Catelyn IV, Catelyn is at Storms End trying to reconcile Stannis and Renly. After she has failed the first time goes to a small sept in the nearby village.

Inside she has essentially a religious experience. She sees people she knows in the charcoal sketches on the walls, a suspicious gust of wind blows smoke at changes the visions, her head swims, "the shadows swayed and shifted, furtive animals racing across the cracked white walls", a torch spits...

Then it suddenly occurs to her that Stannis might be right about Joffrey's bastardy and thats why they tied to kill bran. It all adds up, her resolve strengthened.

Everything I've ever seen about copyright says life + 70 years in the US. In looking this up I've seen how works with multiple authors are handled where the 70 starts after the death of the last author.

But is that really how it works for say The Avengers End Game. In 100 years or whatever would I have to track down every single person listed on the credits of the movie and determine when they died? Can a movie studio make sure to hire some young healthy people thus ensuring their copyright for as long as possible?

The part I love most about my favourite series is really getting down in the weeds, reading theories, learning lore, finding Easter eggs, languages, that kind of thing. To me that turns a story into a hobby.

The obvious example is Lord of the Rings for the world but I also love ASOIAF for the community, Kingkiller for the subtleties. I've read a bunch of cosmere stuff but that's never done it for me.

I'm hoping there's some undiscovered books with enough depth to really obsess over.
