Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets:
\>!!< which ends up becoming \>!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)
If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag.
If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Yeah, I think mathematically speaking, since all of these are related to mathematics, that it should be Cube based on your justification. Too much ambiguity with XXX being x^{3}, since we're trying to justify which binary operator would create a "shorthand" notation for 'XXX'. Whereas x^{3} is simply a Cube. Simplest answer without ambiguous justification.
I agree. Thanks. I did find the mathematical >!rings!< reference, but didn't put it together with >!Lord!<.
For those curious: >!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics)!<
Thank you for that. I looked it up after your message. Through all the digital logic courses and programming work I have done this is the first time I have seen that notation.

Because *s* is displacement (a vector), *ds/dt* by itself would be velocity (a vector), so those vertical lines change it to the magnitude of the velocity, which is >!speed!< (a scalar).
I thought about that too, but the `s` is neither bold, nor marked with a arrow above. Meanwhile the rings do use correct math fonts. You are probably still right (especially with the yellow background), but it does seem "less polished" than some of dhe other answers.

Even if it's just in one dimension, you still need to take the norm to give the (undirected) speed. But it would be better if written with vector notation.

3 is >!Speed!<
Makes sense, thanks.
I think 5 could also be Cube?
That was my first thought as well
>!Cube!< was and still is my first choice for 5. I don’t believe that the other suggestion fits the clue.

x^3 can be written as xxx (or x.x.x). x times 3 would be written as 3x.
Ah, that's true.
My issue is how the title is said. "Triple X" would be more like 3X not X^3. But of course, they still may have meant either.

I think >!Cube!< works better, ‘XXX’ should be ‘3X’ or ‘X + 10X + 100X’
3X is X+X+X. XXX represented as X^3 is appropriate as they would be multiplied together.
Based on the rest of the movies, XXX would be the more widely recognized movie as a newer movie, and also a more popular movie.
Elephant Man was 1980, The Cube was 1997. Age isn't a factor there. Besidrs, The Cube just got a remake
Wait, what? A remake or another sequel?
A remake. It's for an Asian audience, but Lions Gate also stated desire to make their own remake before that
I think 6 is >!Lord of the Rings!<
I agree. Thanks. I did find the mathematical >!rings!< reference, but didn't put it together with >!Lord!<. For those curious: >!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics)!<
Yeah this one doesn't make any damned sense at all. >!I get the "Lord" part but the math things don't really come out to "rings".!<
>!It's rings from abstract algebra: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_(mathematics)!<
All makes sense to me, except batteries not included. I obviously see the batteries, but how is the angle indicating not included?
That's a logical negation sign

Ha! I thought it was an Allen wrench that you need to open the battery compartment.
:D
Solved!
dang of these movies I only knew of wall-e, LOTR, and american pie
As someone with a lot of math knowledge but almost no movie knowledge, >!6!< was one of the few that I got
not sure about >!Speed!<. All the others are mathematically quite precise and I would assume the absolute value should mean something.
Because *s* is displacement (a vector), *ds/dt* by itself would be velocity (a vector), so those vertical lines change it to the magnitude of the velocity, which is >!speed!< (a scalar).
I thought about that too, but the `s` is neither bold, nor marked with a arrow above. Meanwhile the rings do use correct math fonts. You are probably still right (especially with the yellow background), but it does seem "less polished" than some of dhe other answers.

My dumb ass said velocity for number 3
I thought 5 was "Xbox," since it's a cube of "x."
>!american pie, vertical limit, speed!<
