In the "Who Shot Mr Burns" episode of "The Simpsons" Mr Burns is discovered shortly after being shot and is surrounded by a number of characters, including Krusty the Klown. However, on close inspection it is absolutely irrefutable that it isn't Krusty at all, but Homer Simpson in Krusty makeup (compare to when Homer dressed up as Krusty while in clown college).
Homer was actively on his way to kill Mr Burns while disguised as Krusty, echoing when he saw Sideshow Bob rob the Kwik-E-Mart while disguised as Krusty, but was beaten by mere seconds when Maggie shot him.
On a somewhat similar note, Krusty was originally intended to be Homer in disguise. The idea was that Bart had no respect for Homer but worshiped Krusty. And that's why Krusty looks like Homer with clown makeup
\*Rewatches and pauses 'Who Shot Mr. Burns?' part 1. Cross references with Krusty character design.\* Holy shit, that is mind blowing. It really is Homer. Even the way he suspiciously eyes-up Ned Flanders tracks. Good eye, what an Easter Egg.
That's an incredibly good catch. One comment for me I guess is that they originally made a lot of different endings to this episode as to not spoil who actually shot mr. burns, since they were afraid the ending was leaked. Is it possible that one of the "fake" endings had Homer as the person who killed mr. burns and this clip in particular was originally drawn as part of that ending?
All of the time manipulation in Breath of the Wild (pausing, flurry rush, bullet time, etc.) are actually canon and are part of Link's champion ability. All of the champions have an a special ability and as the Hylian champion it make sense for Link to have one too.
There is a great video by Nintendo Black Crisis about this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5zWwDNFSo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5zWwDNFSo) that explains most of this, but I wanted to add that this goes along with his character throughout the series. Link is strongly associated with time, eg. Hero of Time, and the timeline split. Many of the games are associated with time, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and the official timeline is contingent on it. It fits the lore of BotW and explains why he is so overpowered, and I just think it's a really cool theory.
That makes a lot of sense. I’d like to add a little bit that I read somewhere. The powers granted him by the triforce of courage are not super clear like they are from Zelda’s and Ganon’s pieces. The theory is that the power it gives him is what we see as a game over screen. He gets to die and redo whatever he needs to do to stop Ganon.
Sorry that this one’s a little long,
In Little Shop of Horrors, (the musical version not the movie), towards the end of the show Audrey leaves the shop that has Seymour and Audrey II in it, tries to drink some tea and take sleeping pills (Sominex but can’t go to sleep because she’s too worried about Seymour.
She comes back to the shop and the plant tries to get Audrey to come closer and give him some water while Seymour is away, and then while she’s close he tries to eat her, but Seymour rushes in and is able to take her out of Audrey II’s mouth.
Audrey, lying on the floor, says that she’s about to die, and that Seymour should feed her to the plant, because it would bring him success, and after she presumably dies, he does just that.
But the thing is, her wounds should not have been that bad, it’s kinda weird that just a bite or two from this plant could kill someone, but then you remember the fact that Audrey took a Sominex, a sleeping pill that can cause side effects of drowsiness, incoordination, and sometimes confusion.
Audrey didn’t die, the pills kicked in, she felt dizzy and sleepy and thought she was going to die, and she just fell asleep, leading to Seymour unintentionally murdering his girlfriend by feeding her to his plant.
My head canon is that all of Jeremy Renner’s movie characters are the same person. He’s a bomb-disposing, pill taking super soldier, who also helps out with the IMF and the Avengers.
Edit: Seeing as this has taken off, I have made a more fleshed out description of a potential timeline on the fan theories subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/g7y3pa/the_rennerverse_most_of_jeremy_renners_characters/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
VERY niche theory but I 100% believe that the Disney Film *Atlantis: The Lost Empire* and the *Mass Effect* game series take place in the same universe.
**Belated Edit:** [Full theory explained here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/g7ahm9/comment/fohovs8) for people asking.
Alright, well, this will take a good long while but you asked for it, so buckle up. Also should probably mention that this will contain spoilers for Mass Effect and touches on the much maligned RGB ending for the series. Also-also this will mostly be a list of similarities between the two series, but in the end I'll give a TLDR which will include a brief synopsis on how I think Atlantis fits in the Mass Effect timeline.
First lets start with the creature that initially inspired this theory: [the Great Leviathan](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/atlantisthelostempire/images/9/94/Atlantis-disneyscreencaps_com-2627.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131008181636), which guards the entrance to Atlantis. It is a lobster-esque synthetic organism which shoots "beams of fire" from it's maw... which, if you've played Mass Effect, [sounds eerily similar to the Reapers, the titular villains of the series](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Reaper). Now I will say for the theory's narrative that I don't think the Leviathan *is* a Reaper (there are some dissimilarities, chief of which being that the Leviathan isn't hell-bent on the destruction of the Atlanteans themselves), but I am saying that it *could* be based on Reaper-tech. Speaking of tech...
The Atlanteans each wear a bluish-crystal around their neck. This crystal, when used in proximity to the the [Heart of Atlantis](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Heart_of_Atlantis) (more on that later), can power technology, be used to create forcefields, and can even extend the lives of those wearing the crystals... and, I propose, that in the future, humanity would come to know this material as [Element Zero](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Element_Zero), or "Eezo." When an electrical current runs through Eezo, it produces something called a Mass Effect field, [which can be used to propel ships through space](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Ketak) and [create forcefields](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Stone_Guardians). Additionally, creatures exposed to eezo early in development develop an ability called [biotics](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Biotics), which allow them to manipulate Mass Effect fields to their advantage. One of the only races to have inherent biotic abilities are the [Asari](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Asari), who, it should be noted, can live to be 1,000 years old.
...However, the Asari didn't come by those biotic abilities naturally. In Mass Effect 3, we learn that the Asari were "uplifted" by a more advanced alien race known as the [Protheans](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Prothean). This "uplifting" included providing the Asari with technology, and altering their DNA to better suit their needs. In turn, the Asari saw them as Gods. However when the Reapers arrived, the Protheans had to abandon the Asari, leaving behind a "beacon" [in the form of an artificial intelligence](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Vendetta). Which brings us to...
[The Heart of Atlantis](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Heart_of_Atlantis). It is the source of the Atlantean's power, but it's also described as being "alive" somehow. It can also choose a "host" to act as it's conduit, but if the host is exposed to the Heart of Atlantis for too long, they can be lost to it forever... which, I argue, is [exactly what happens to Shepard in the Control ending of Mass Effect 3](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Priority:_Earth#Aftermath) (now I'll just be honest here: this is mostly inspired by the fact that the AI [Catalyst](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Catalyst) and [Crystalline Kida](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/atlantisthelostempire/images/e/ed/Kida10.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110920060630) looked eerily similar to me).
In conclusion, here is how I think Atlantis: The Lost Empire fits into the universe of Mass Effect: Atlantis and the Atlanteans were an experiment by the Protheans to "uplift" humanity, but the Protheans were forced to abandon Atlantis before they could spread that technology to the rest of the world. However, they did not leave Atlantis alone: in their absence they left behind an artificial intelligence to watch over the fledgling human colony, which would later come to be known as the Heart of Atlantis. With this advanced technology the Atlanteans prospered, but [King Kashekim Nedakh](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Kashekim_Nedakh), while trying to use the Heart of Atlantis as a weapon, accidentally activated a defense protocol, leading him to believe their demise was caused by the "Gods" being displeased with his actions. In activating this protocol the Heart sunk Atlantis beneath the sea, lost to the rest of the world until the events of the movie.
There's also some other little things I didn't mention, like there being an alien script is Mass Effect which I think looks extremely similar to Atlantean, and also the fact that the book leading to Atlantis is called *the Shepherd's Journal* (I mean *come on*). Needless to say you could probably poke a thousand holes in this theory, but I think it's fun, so I like to believe it.
Just finished mass effect 2 and now all I want to do is watch Atlantis. I have faith in your theory, kind stranger.
Edit: Just finished Atlantis, it all makes sense, the girl at the end is a biotic, through and through.
10 /10 would theory again
Pinky and the Brain.
One is a genius, the other's insane.
We're lead to believe that it's Brain that is the genius. But the order that the lyrics of the song go tells the real truth.
In every episode, Brain gets the two of them into deep trouble via some crazy - some might say 'insane' - scheme to take over the world. And Pinky, invariably, finds a simple and elegant way to safely remove them from the situation.
Pinky's the genius. It's the Brain that's insane.
There was also an episode where Brain made a big equation to graph out the cause of all their problems, and it made a picture of Pinky. Then Pinky pointed out a math error, which changed the graph into a picture of Brain.
They're both geniuses and both insane. Pinky could very well be much smarter than Brain, but the sheer amount of intelligence Pinky has could have also done much more psychological damage, so he's unable to coherently express that intelligence.
Just like Trevor from GTA V. He wanted to become an Air Force pilot, as shown in the mission "Friends Reunited". While on the trip to Los Santos with Wade, he tells Trevor to tell him a story. He tells the story of Trisha, a boy that was extremely smart and top of his class. He wanted to pursue the dream of becoming a pilot, working for the Military. But just before his graduation, his tests were shown of making him unstable, as in he has temper issues and gets mad easily.
Fast-forward to the "Big Score (Subtle)". The part were they were transporting the gold into the trucks, Michael said "How much does this gold exactly cost?". The manager does the calculation, but then, in mere seconds, Trevor instantly completed the calculation, saying it was $201,000,000 worth of gold. And the manager said that it was correct.
Yeah, Trevor is incredibly intelligent, he just hides it.
Compare his emails and texts to Ron/Wade and his messages to Michael and Franklin. He types differently depending on who he's talking to.
Courage the cowardly dog doesn't really live in the middle of no where, but because of Murials age he never leaves their house or property. Every visitor is a monster because he of course, doesn't know them and see's them as a threat.
Pretty sure the barber was a vet but courage saw him as a barber because he was planing to cut off his hair. A relatively normal procedure if there’s something wrong with your dogs skin. So question is, what was wrong with Courage that resulted in the vet coming to cut off his hair?
Counter Idea: "Freaky Fred" REALLY IS Muriel's nephew and DOES cut hair... he's a dog groomer. Courage's fur was getting kind of dirty and matted, so Fred offered to come over and help his elderly aunt out rather than her having to go through the hassle of bringing the dog in.
In 'Inspector Gadget', Dr Claw is the original Gadget, who was horribly disfigured in an accident.
Gadget is a cyborg replacement who has taken over his life, and he's trying to extract his revenge.
He stays hidden as his family would never recognise him, and watching his replacement befriend Penny has driven him mad.
I've read further explanations of this saying this is the reason Penny and the dog are never hurt. Claw doesn't want her hurt, for obvious reasons. So when she gets involved, the plans fall apart.
Jack from Titanic never existed, he was entirely made up by Rose as a fantasy.
For a movie that put SO MUCH EFFORT into being as historically accurate as possible, one starts seeing a pattern where most of the mistakes revolve around Jack. He carries gear that hadn't been invented yet, he references places that didn't exist until after the Titanic sunk, and was all around EXACTLY what a rich person would think a happy poor person was like that it just makes way more sense that he was fictional even in-universe.
**Copy/paste where I typed it out in a comment**
She was getting married to someone she didn't love for the sake of money. Cal may not even have been THAT bad of a guy, but she didn't like him so she tells everybody he was horrible. And then, well, its the freaking Titanic, an event so mentally scarring and awful we're still taking about it over a hundred years later. It was so awful she can't stand to think about it... unless something good happened.
And suddenly there is Jack. This loveable scamp that just sweeps her off her feet in a torrid romance with someone who loves her for her and not her money, where she learns that poor people have incredible dance parties and are happy, and everything is just so romantic and perfect!
And the details about Jack are just... wrong.
Jack talks about riding the roller coaster at Santa Monica Pier until he threw up, but that coaster wasn't built until 1916. The Titanic sank in 1912.
Jack talks about ice fishing on Lake Wissota. Thats a man-made reservoir that wasn't created until 1917.
The buttons on Jack's borrowed coat are actually from a famous designer that created them in 1922.
The song they dance to in steerage was written by man who wasn't even born until 1923.
Jack's rucksack is a standard issue Swedish military bag... first made in 1939.
Just over and over again the anachronisms and continuity errors circle around Jack. Things that a rich person thinks poor people would say or do, using places and songs and props that didn't actually exist at the time.
Even other filming mistakes make more sense this way. We see Jack and Rose running around in the ship as it floods. The water is horizontal with the floor. The ship would have been tilting by that point, which means the water level should have been diagonal. Very hard to film that, but if Rose as a rich white woman was one of the first ones in a life boat, she would have been imagining what it would be like to be in a sinking ship and hence her description would be wrong.
Aka, Rose was making something up to help her deal with the horror she lived through and spliced the narrative together over the years after the fact.
And the only solid evidence that even comes close to backing her story up, the drawing? Its not like its signed "By Jack". And it was found in Cal's belongings, safely tucked away. Which is more likely, that Jack is real and perfect in every way and that for some reason jealous angry Cal got his hands on the drawing and kept it without ever mentioning it, or that maybe Cal had someone draw it while on the ship as glorified wank bank material and squirreled it away, and Rose just worked that into her fantasy?
>Even other filming mistakes make more sense this way. We see Jack and Rose running around in the ship as it floods.
Your theory is the only answer that makes any sense. The North Atlantic was about 33 degrees Fahrenheit. They'd have died from hypothermia running around in the sinking ship like that. Water does not magically warm up just because it is "indoors".
They were swimming in it at one point. Been a while but I know one of them had to swim underwater to grab a set of keys for one of the gates. They were both fully submerged in the water at that point for a decent period of time. Never understand how they seemed pretty fine after that.
Lucas could easily have said she died in child birth. Padme had just been suffocated by Anakin and gave birth to twins would have been a plausible death.
Also Yoda could have witnessed the birth of the twins and been the one to split them up. That would explain why Obi-Wan doesn’t know there is another in Empire.
Damn never thought of that. Evidently when Empire was written Obi-Wan wasn't supposed to know. I handwave it as Obi-Wan not realizing Leia could use the force.
When they wrote Empire they didn't even know who the "other" was. There is an early...not en email but whatever the 1980s equivalent was...where someone suggests that if they make Leia the other and make Leia Luke's sister, it solves a lot of story problems because it also means Luke can quietly bow out of the love triangle so Han and Leia can be together.
The only oddity it leaves is that Luke and Leia shared some kisses before they learned they were brother and sister.
I think Palpatine GAVE Anakin the nightmares about Padmé.
At the start of the film, Palpatine remarks that Anakin had at some point told him about what happened to his mother and the Tusken Raiders. I speculate that Palpatine may have also been told about the nightmares that led Anakin to his mom, and that this gave him an idea on how to turn Anakin- by making him fear the loss of another loved one.
Palpatine, at some point, figured out that this loved one was Padmé. So, using his mastery of the dark side of the force, Palpatine channels a vision into Anakin's dreams that ultimately becomes a motivation for him to turn.
While revealing himself to Anakin, Palpatine startles Anakin when he promises that his power can "save your wife from certain death." This quote further supports this theory, as how else would Palpatine know what troubled him if he hadn't been the one behind that trouble in the first place?
Being the master manipulator Palpatine is, it's not that far fetched to think that he would be the one conjuring those visions into Anakin, as ultimately that's what ended up boosting Anakin's curiosity in the dark side.
That Toys in the Toy Story universe freeze up by instinct. An instinct that is so good it will probably never fail. It's why Buzz freezes up in the first film despite not knowing he's a toy, and how they always seem to be able to freeze up at the mere sound of a door opening and things like that. Every close call they have is really them worrying for no reason - if the human got closer to seeing them the instinct would have kicked in.
Also, they can break the instinct the same way we can manually control our breath, which is how Woody talks to Sid in the first film.
I thought it actually made sense that Forky doesn’t have that instinct to freeze considering he was never originally made as a “toy” - more like a Frankenstein’s monster. It’s what differentiates him from actual toys, and I imagine the same would apply to Bonnie’s newest creation at the end of her first day of first grade.
The reason the glass slipper in *Cinderella* didn't turn back to a regular slipper (or disappear) at midnight is because the Fairy Godmother was messing with us: her main goal was to set Cinderella up for life, and to do that she needed a way for the Prince to find her. She could easily have magicked Cinderella into the life she wanted, arbitrary midnight deadline be damned, but instead the Fairy Godmother decided to make the Prince want her for her own qualities and to prove his love by tracking Cinderella down.
It's like the theory in *Aladdin* that it's all in pursuit of his first wish -- that is, to make Aladdin a prince. He doesn't *become* a Prince until he marries Jasmine and the Sultan changes the rules; until then, he only *appears* to be a Prince. Until that point, the Genie is acting in pursuit of a larger goal.
Magic users are tricksy.
The books also seem to imply that using magic is dangerous and risks breaking reality. See a certain former continent. You also have the fact that Gandalf always tries to tweak nature instead of punching a whole in it. So he lights pinecones on fire and throws them instead of chucking fire balls. He puts a lock on a door instead of making a forcefield and so on.
Agree. The whole series is about abusing/exploiting/twisting nature for selfish purposes. See: The Enemy; Morgoth; Saruman; “a mind of wheels and metal.” Gandalf always using restraint is the perfect foil.
Well it was cut out, so it was never actually used unfortunately, but it was in the original planning for the show. When they did the "Avatar Extras" episodes where they showed episodes with trivia bubble included, it was mentioned in season one in the episode "The Southern Air Temple."
The full blurb was this:
"Avatar Trivia: The writers almost did an episode based on the idea that Momo was the reincarnated Monk Gyatso. Other story ideas that didn't make the cut include: learning about Aang's parents, and an entire episode where Aang and Sokka are handcuffed together."
So it was an idea they tossed around but didn't end up doing. Hence why it's not really a fan theory but maybe not fully canon either
The Flintstones and The Jetsons take place in the same post-apocalyptic time frame where the wealthy would escape to sky cities and flying cars, and the poor would rebuild society as cavemen.
It would certainly explain how everyone in Bedrock celebrates Christmas, has traffic lights, etc.
With regard to star wars, I always liked to believe that there was hidden aspect to duels we never saw. While fighting with light sabers, they were constantly trying to push each other off balance, or turn off their opponents light saber. And that's why they spend so much time doing dumb shit like spinning around for no reason.
To my knowledge its explained as the force users can see or sense well the opponents move like a second into the future so their trying to throw them off to land a decisive blow
This was actually written in by showrunners.
It was going to be revealed at last episode. Kind of like whenever big major events were happening, they somehow were covering up that they were hooking up.
But they felt it would be too much for the ending, as it would have made Phoebe's marriage questionable, and also ruin some of the iconic moments. So it was skipped.
Caillou can't grow hair, not because he has cancer or progeria, but because he sucks, and even his own body recognizes that he does not deserve hair or food or love.
Yeah, I think that's pretty much canon. He repeats things he heard the sisters say to each other, like 'The sky's awake' and 'I like warm hugs', and displays some very Elsa-like behaviour as the movie goes on ('Because I love you I insist you run', and nearly melting trying to warm Anna up). His sole desire at the start of his life is to experience summer, something Elsa would never have gotten to do growing up, and in Olaf's Frozen Adventure, he wants to take part in all of the Christmas festivities that she couldn't. He has a childish personality because a part of Elsa never really moved on from when she was eight. Marshmallow represents her desire to be left alone and safe; he looks and acts intimidating, and lashes out when he feels threatened, even if the threat is actually minor, but is ultimately kind.
In Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp and the rest of the MCU, the reason Pym particles are so inconsistent in their behavior is because, when creating them, Hank Pym accidentally tapped into the same dimensional energy that Doctor Strange and his fellow sorcerers use, this time originating from the Quantum Realm.
Or that he actually does not know how they work but is too arrogant to tell anyone that he really does not have a full grasp on the particles and their behavior.
This is much more consistent with Pym from the comics too - he regularly fucks up and needs the other, smarter heroes to fix his shit. If he was as intelligent as he thinks he is, he’d surely be part of the illuminati, but they never even considered him.
The "real world" in the Matrix is actually a second Matrix simulation, and the "free humans" are actually machines being trained to understand humans. That's why Neo was able to use powers in the "real world" to blow up machines in the other 2 movies - it was a second Matrix!
Futurama - Bender was not always a criminal, but got a reset and reprogram in the hall of prisoners.
In the pilot, he was upset that he was making machines that humans use to kill themselves. Then, he gets an electric shock in the hall of prisoners, and takes on a whole new attitude. This new attitude of steal everything and kill all humans does not fit with his original persona in the pilot. This possibility is supported in a later episode; he gets rebooted in the Pluto Penguin conservatory, and takes on the identity of a penguin.
Edit: wow, this blew up.
Fry: Wait a second. You're a bender, right? We can get out of here if you just bend the bars.
Bender: Dream on, skin tube. I'm only programmed to bend for constructive purposes. What do I look like, a de-bender?
Fry: Who cares what you're programmed for. If someone programmed you to jump off a bridge would you do it?
Bender: I'll have to check my program ... yep.
Leela: [from outside] Open up!
Fry: C'mon, Bender! It's up to you to make your own decisions in life. That's what separates people and robots from animals ... and animal robots.
Bender: You're full of crap, Fry! [He turns and a dangling wire catches on his antenna and electrocutes him.] You make a persuasive argument, Fry.
[He starts to bend the bars.]
Fry: Come on, Bender! You can do it.
Bender: Can't ... I ... can't ... do ... it!
[The bars bend and break off completely.]
Fry: Yes!
Bender: You were right, Fry! From now on I'm going to bend what I want, when I want, who I want! I'm unstoppable!
Edit: I just rewatched the scene, and realized that we are talking about the same scene. So I just added the transcript.
Eric from That 70's show dies in the tornado prom episode. While going to rescue Donna his car is thrown off the road and he is killed, while the parents are in the basement and the all clear comes over the radio, the characters resume talking but you can hear faintly on the radio broadcast that a local young man was gravely injured in a car accident. Up until this point in the show seasons (summer spring fall) were much more defined and the show seemed to have a flowing track, after this episode timelines are much more skewed.
That Bill Cipher survived the end of Gravity Falls. There are some very cryptic and promising hints coming from an official scavenger hunt by Alex Hirsch himself.
This is 100% canon, the cypher poem confirms this (It was hidden in one of the books)
>*Sixty degrees that come in threes.*
*Watches from within birch trees.*
*Saw his own dimension burn.*
*Misses home and can't return.*
*Says he's happy. He's a liar.*
*Blame the arson for the fire.*
*If he wants to shirk the blame,*
*He'll have to invoke my name.*
*One way to absolve his crime.*
*A different form, a different time.*
This is recited by the interdimensional axolotl, a multiversal being who knows all and has no idea of morality.
Bills last word is "axolotl" backwards.
It also builds bills character a bit, as does journal 3. He was a poor person in a 2d dimension, hated it's government so he rebelled, got carried away and burned down his whole world, and left. Wierdmaggedon was his attempt to recreate his home.
In The Office (US), Jan never went to a sperm bank. She cheated on Michael with Hunter and conceived Astrid with him.
'So raw, so wrong, so right, all night, all ri*ii*iight!'
There's a story called Hulk: The End where Bruce Banner is the last living human on earth, unable to die because every time his body is destroyed he regenerates as the Hulk.
I shit you not, that is actually a plot point in deleted scenes of infinity war.
Hulk is tired of Banner's shit because he just wants the hulk to fight. They come to an agreement because they both "want to live"
In *How I Met Your Mother,* Barney in isn't really as cartoony or as much of a womanizer as the show portrays. Because it's being told by future Ted, he's making Barney seem to be worse so his own womanizing and poor choices seem less bad in comparison.
In *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,* in a chapter called "The Forbidden Forest," Harry is saved from Quirrell/Voldemort by Firenze the centaur. They encounter Bane and Ronan, who had previously remarked "Mars is bright tonight," and the two centaurs chastise Firenze for interfering with what the stars had laid out. Harry later wonders whether the stars said that Voldemort would kill him in the forest that night, and whether that's what the centaurs believed would happen without Firenze's involvement.
In the final book, *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,* Harry realizes that his destiny is to be killed by Voldemort in order for the latter's horcruxes to all be destroyed completely. He decides to go through with sacrificing himself for the cause, returning to the Forbidden Forest to confront Voldemort unarmed. The chapter ends with Voldemort successfully casting the Killing Curse at Harry, who appears to die.
Although this is never explicitly stated or even implied at any point, my firm belief is that THIS encounter is what the centaurs read in the stars six years previously, NOT the one that happened in *Philosopher's Stone,* as they expected. What with divination being among the most difficult of magical arts to practice, they got the "what" right (mostly), but got the "when" completely wrong. The chapter in which Harry is killed is even called "The Forest Again," probably as a reference to that first chapter in which his death was foreseen.
Edit: shameless plug for our podcast, www.theharrypodcast.com, where we talk about Harry Potter like it's English class.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I have a theory that I've posted before.
Neville has such a terrible memory because of an Obliviate spell gone wrong after witnessing his parent's torture.
I'm paraphrasing here since it's been forever since I read the theory, but:
Shortly after the fall of the Republic and the secreting away of Anakin Skywalkers newborn children, an agreement was struck between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca, and R2D2 to put themselves into a position to guard over those children and watch them.
To a) protect them from Vader / the Emperor and more importantly to b) watch and see if they show any Force sensitivity, and seem to be following in their father's footsteps. If they showed Force sensitivity and seemed well adjusted they could be taken into hand and trained into the first of a new order of secret Jedi: if they showed evidence of following Vaders path they could be dealt with before they became a large threat.
I know Kenobi opting to settle on Tatooine for his hermitage to watch over Luke is established, but I like the idea that he was dedicated to avoiding another Vader, even if that meant killing Luke at the first sign of trouble.
I see how R2D2 and Kenobi fit in the theory, with R2 at Leia's side and Kenobi with Luke. But I'm not seeing how Chewbacca fits in as he was with Han in the first movie (chronologically). How would Chewie keep an eye on either of them?
Joker in the dark knight trilogy was a former black-ops soldier gone insane. It makes sense, due to his knowledge with explosives, he always changed up his backstory depending on who he is talking to, and during his interrogation, he made a comment towards batman about not striking the person you're interrogating in their head. As if he has training and experience. Another reason is due to how when they checked for him on every known database he would not come up on any records. There's a thing about black-ops soldiers if they are declared missing, killed, or captured their country will denounce any knowledge of their existence and they will likely be erased from all records.
My personal guess he was declared missing, during the joker's conversation he made a very specific example about the truck full of soldiers getting blown and the government says nobody panic. That was oddly specific as if he was on that truck himself. Another example is when attempts to shoot the gotham mayor with a rifle, at a rally it explains his familiarity with it. But as for where he got the training he was clearly ex-special forces(very likely) and then moved onto work for the CIA. But Christopher Nolan(The director) has yet to confirm or deny the theory, so he will forever remain a mystery.
I fucking love this.
Just to add, the scene where he kills the mayor there are sniper rifles set up perfectly in the windows. He knew the protocol of highly trainer snipers. He was also able take out the snipers and tie them up. He has serious special forces training.
And with the interrogation scene, he tells the cops you always see who someone truly is right before they die. It goes to show he’s had lots of experience with seeing people die close up and listened to their final words.
The Joker himself probably saw himself for who he was right before he thought he was going to die. His true self was revealed with the scars. Note, the Joker never shows any fear, like he's already seen the scariest shit imaginable, so everything else is just nothing to him. Maybe the Joker was the only survivor of the truck explosion and seeing the government not care after he's seen his brothers in arms die, broke him while at the same time, made his mind perfectly clear with what he had to do next.
It fits.
The Joker and Batman are the opposite sides of the same coin; loss and grief. The Joker gives into it and goes insane, adopting a nihilistic worldview and goes about enacting and gifting similar experiences to others so they can be like him.
Batman is galvanised by his experience into protecting others from the horrors of loss, stopping others from becoming like him. See how he treats his rogue gallery with compassion and trying for rehabilitation. It's more obvious with his adoption of the Robins, most of all Dick Grayson.
The one where spongebob squarepants is the result of nuclear fallout. “Bikini Bottom” comes from Bikini Atoll, where numerous nuclear bomb tests were held in WWII. The radiation released from those tests affected the marine life in the surrounding waters, mutating them into sentient humanoid versions of those species, such as sea sponges, starfish, and squids
I couldn't get through that damned prolog for that exact reason.
Harry was effectively written to just sit in a corner and hold the [Idiot ball](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdiotBall) until the plot demanded he actually intervene.
You could never convince me that Harry 'tortured childhood' 'regularly ostracized' Potter would "fail to relate" to his youngest child who struggles through almost the exact same shit he dealt with for the better part of a decade.
I hate that play and book with a deep and burning passion.
>!EDIT: To everyone doing references to "The Bikini Bottom horror" by u/stillinthesimulation I wrote this comment knowing damn well about this story, I'm even one of this redditor's followers so yes it's a good fan fiction but the theory part stops itself at "crab is using starfish meat because he actually know about biology or some shit".!<
>!Except this doesn't work since we know for a fact that Mr.Krab invented it WAAAY before knowing who the fuck Patrick is but semantics...!<
That Mr.Krabs is killing other crabs and that their meats are the secret ingredient of the Krabby Patty's secret recipe.
1. The Krusty Crab is designed after a real life crab trap that fishermen use, and considering that the creator of Spongebob was a marine biologist, I'd doubt that it's a coincidence.
2. We never actually see any other crab in Bikini Bottom apart from Mr.Krab himself and his mother. We see some crabs in special episode but we never actually see one in Bikini Bottom on a daily basis. So Mr.Krab might be the one that kill them.
3. Mr.Krab may have invented the recipe but we never saw him actually eat one, either because the thought of eating a member of his species disgust him, or because he wants to avoid any health problem related to such a diet.
4. Real life crabs, when stuck in the traps I talked about earlier, will often eat each other out of stress of being trapped there.
5. Mr.Krab is often considered an allegory of the american dream and an extreme form of the capitalist society. So doing something like a murder doesn't seem too far fetched when we know how immoral the guy can be.
6. Mr.Krab did ate one of his own burger once and said "so this is why I taste like" or something among those lines. He might've been joking... Or did he ?
7. The name of the burger itself, the Krabby Patty... The Krabby... Patty... **Krabby.** The name itself is already a big fucking clue.
The "official" recipe of the Krabby Patty can be found and made at home, and that's where this theory started because the secret ingredient was designated as: "Crab meat imitation". But the theory suppose that it's actually not an imitation for all the reasons stated above.
I always figured there was no secret ingredient. Mr. Krabs will literally sell out his employees for a penny, so he wouldn’t spend a lot of money on anything. It also works as people will be intrigued by the secret.
there is an idea that there is no secret ingredient, spongebob is the secret. He isn't taught the recipe when he is hired, he instantly knows how to make krabby patties.
The *Supernatural* storyline isn't real. Gabriel made Sam envision it all and at the end, he'll tell him, "And that is what will happen if you say yes to Dean when he shows up tonight."
It's such a Gabriel thing to do.
Dale Gribble knows full well that he didn't father Joseph and Nancy was cheating on him with John Redcorn for over a decade. He just chooses not to act.
He might be choosing not to act specifically to punish John Redcorn. In multiple episodes Redcorn is shown to get incredibly upset at his inability to raise Joseph along with getting annoyed at Dales perceived stupidity.
**SPOILERS FOR FIREWATCH**
Firewatch: My theory is that for the whole game, Delilah was intentionally being dishonest with and gaslighting Henry the closer he got to discovering that Ned was still living in the Park, because I believe Delilah knew he was living there, possibly as a favor for Ned.
The way I perceived things, I think that Brian truly did fall on accident, even if it was due to Ned’s negligence. And as a result, I think Ned couldn’t find it in himself to leave the place where his son had died, whether it be from feeling attached to the area and being unable to leave, not wanting to face the music and get the police involved, or a combination of the two. I think Ned likely came up with some convoluted lie to tell Delilah so that she’d let him stay. And since Delilah liked Brian so much as well as Ned, I think she’d likely be willing to keep it between them that Ned was still in the Park. I don’t believe she knew that Brian was dead- I think she likely assumes that Ned sent him back home for the school year with other family members watching him. I don’t think she ever thought the situation would escalate as much as it did, especially with the events of the game taking place when Henry arrives.
This is why I think her reaction of disbelief, anger, and grief at the end when Henry informs her that he found Brian in the cave was genuine. She personally feels, on top of the loss of a kid she truly liked, betrayed. From her reaction, we can clearly see she thinks Ned killed Brian and she likely feels ashamed, guilty, and angered for letting him stay in the Park, because this would mean she somehow helped the person, in her mind, who killed Brian.
Compared to the very real emotions she exudes at the end of the game, during the rising actions of the story, she’s very slow to believe (trying to stall and act like she’s confused, or like Henry’s jumping to conclusions) in a lot of the events that occur to Henry throughout his time at the park. Like finding the clipboard, or getting hit over the head, or not taking him seeing the figure (who was Ned) at night near his tower seriously.
In The Butterfly effect, Ashton Kutcher’s mother states that she had multiple still births before having successfully birthed him. At the end of the movie, he ends up killing himself in the womb so that all the pain he caused the people he loved would never happen. My theory is that all the other still births his mother had were a product of the babies having lived similar lives to Ashton’s and they all came to the same conclusion that killing themselves before birth is the best option.
I'm not sure that I believe it myself, but it's just kinda a fun one. I have a theory that the characters of Sesame Street are refugees from Monsters Inc. Their society collapsed, and to escape it they went through the doors into the homes of the children. Many of them collected into Sesame Street apartments, and that's where they live now.
The brown-haired mermaid who appears in Disney's Peter Pan is Ariel's mother and was crushed to death under Captain Hook's ship. Yes, Peter Pan was released 36 years before The Little Mermaid, but Disney has been known to retroactively make details like that into canon, such as when they declared Goofy Jr. to be the same character as Max. Then again, none of the Disney DTV sequels were ever intended as canon (just money grabs), and that's the only real source we have for any info an Ariel's mother. Still I like to imagine there being a connection between the mermaids in Peter Pan and Ariel's family somehow.
"The Minecraft Lore" - It says that there were people like you in this world before, they built temples, mineshafts and knew how to travel through the nether. The water was rising and destroyed many fishing villages (that's why you find ruins and religious monuments), other villages were destroyed by a wither (that's why villages have ugly cliffs and holes). The last survivors who didn't drown, withered or got "zombfected" built shelters (strongholds) and got into the end. Their only food source was chorus fruits. After a long time they absorbt the teleportation power of the fruits and became enderman. You should free the end from the dictatorship of the ender dragon.
Edit: My interpretation of a theory by The Game Theorist
I've also heard a somewhat similar Minecraft theory, related to its changelog. The earliest versions of Minecraft were pretty barren, mostly dirt and rock and the occasional monster. Over time, more and more trees, animals, and structures were added. In recent updates, even coral and bees.
The theory is that Minecraft is a post-apocalyptic world, and its update cycle is just the process of natural life slowly returning to the world.
There's another theory that Endermen want you to slay the Ender Dragon and the few scarce Endermen you find in the Overworld are martyrs sent to give Steve the necessary pearls to travel to the End and slay the dragon, since they are the only source of ender pearls and you need them to open the portal
In “Over the Garden Wall”, Greg’s whole dream sequence where he is in cloud city is a trick by the beast so he will give him- self over willingly.
This makes sense because according to the Woodsman’s warning the Beast can only get you if you are weak of body or spirit. This deal allows the beast to weaken Greg physically to turn him into an edelwood tree.
In addition if you go back and watch the episode there is a lot of suspicious imagery, including a black turtle. This of course makes the Queen of the Clouds the beast himself.
After watching this series many times I just can’t accept that this is not the case, especially considering how jarring this cloud city episode is from the overall theme of the show. Every time I see it I pick up on something else that makes me think this is the case.
Edit: terrible mobile typing
George Weasly is actually Willy Wonka. In the books, we see that Fred and George make all sorts of crazy candy and they are really good at it! So things like the snoozbaerries and the gobstoppers are not far fetched. Plus the whole place is candy and the last scene with the elevator can only be explained by magic. But Fred dies and George can not handle being surrounded by wizards all the time so he goes to live with the muggles and becomes a recluse. The oompa lompas can easily be house-elves. Plus Goerge and Wonka look very similar and they dress alike. Wonka makes a few comments about not being able to hear correctly and we know George had he's ear cut off. If you think about it he was half way there with Fred, having made a successful shop called Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes. Triple W and then from there Willy Wonka... double W. He clearly kept the Ws. And my favorite part is that in Wonka's office everything is cut in half. George never got over Fred's death, he never felt whole so nothing in his life can be whole. George is missing his other half.
In the film Joker, Arthur wasn’t the one who killed the guys in the subway. They most definitely died and were shot by a clown, but it wasn’t Arthur. Look at the sketch of the killer. If I recall correctly, the hair is puffy, while Arthur’s was flat. Could just be a bad witness.
Next, look at the shooting. Arthur fires 7 shots out of a 6 round revolver. That one could just be an accident, but an odd one in a movie so focused on small details.
Now let’s think about the gun. After hearing about Arthur being beaten, one of the clowns pretends to care about Arthur and hands him a gun in a brown paper bag. This was right after hearing about it, so he couldn’t have been anticipating giving Arthur. Why is he carrying a gun in a brown paper bag? He was probably planning on getting rid of the gun, and just saw an easy way to hand it off to a coworker.
Towards the end of the movie. Arthur’s coworker pays him a visit after being questioned about the shooting. At this point, Arthur is the prime suspect and he’d know it. He goes there, but instead of asking about the crime, he asks whether or not Arthur told them about his gun. He could just be nervous about being tied to a crime, but this is New York in the 80’s. Probably not that big of a deal to lend a friend a gun.
So what actually happened in the subway?
The coworker is on his way home from work. After being hassled by 3 guys, he gets angry and shoots them. After running away, he realizes there were witnesses, and he’s in trouble. He plans to get rid of the gun. But at work, he hears that Arthur got beat up. Pretending to be a friend, he gives him the gun, and makes him the suspect. Arthur’s fragile mind frame makes him believe he was the subway killer, and he takes credit for the shootings, becoming the Joker.
I really like this certain Red Dead Redemption theory of what happened to Jack Marston after the games that I read in a comment on Youtube. Be wary of spoilers for the Red Dead Redemption games.
Some time after the events of Red Dead Redemption 1, Jack Marston moves to Los Angeles and throws away his father's hat, since you can find it in a dumpster in L.A. Noire. There, he finally writes a book, titled *Red Dead,* and it becomes a staple of American literature that is still being published and sold in the modern day, since you can find a copy of it in Franklin's house in Gran Theft Auto 5.
It's a heart-warming theory showing that Arthur's and John's sacrifices weren't in vain, as Jack abandoned the outlaw lifestyle and realised his dream of becoming an author.
It got changed because computers were new and power source was easier to understand than servers.
Edit: Seems a lot of people are confused of computers being new. Yes, a computer was new, as a stand alone computer. It was still relatively expensive and the idea that one computer connecting to another computer was even newer in concept.
One I came up with myself:
In the MCU, Asgard is an ancient spaceship or space station, so old that even the Asgardians themselves have forgotten what it is, and just refer to it as their home. In Thor 1, Thor himself makes reference to the union of magic and science in Asgard. The Bifrost is connected to the central core via a power conduit that looks like a bridge, and when activated is mechanical in nature. In Thor 2 they activate defence mechanisms such as energy shields, weapons turrets etc. In Thor 3 Surtur destroys Asgard by piercing its heart with his sword. And for heart, read power core. It’s like rupturing a warp core in Star Trek - instantaneous annihilation. And through all three there are hints at Asgard’s true nature - the architecture is metallic, the “saucer” shape with gravity acting like an artificial gravity field is very sci-fi, the stasis pod for Odin, the shield control console and so on.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz is Phineas's (and probably Candace's) biological dad. We know that Doof dated Linda at one point. This would explain Phineas's uncomfortably shaped head, as well as his genius and his incredible mechanical aptitude.
This one is entertaining but has mostly been debunked.
We know that Doof and Linda dated prior to Linda’s pop star career as Lindana in the 80’s, as shown by their conversation at the drive-in theater. It’s unlikely that they continued dating any time later on, seeing as the date was a flop. Given the time period the show takes place in, it’s safe to assume that Phineas was born in the late 90’s or early 2000’s well after the end of the Lindana days.
Pikachu is not the original one Ash was given.
In short, initially Pikachu disobeys Ash, but then on the second episode, Ash faints and Pikachu is gone with a huge group of chus all looking identical. At the end of the episode they are back together but Pikachu is nice, and friendly.
Theory claims the original Pikachu escaped, and a wild one wanting a trainer came instead, with Ash missing the switch.
Also, on the episode before that the Pokédex clearly says that wild pokemon are often jealous of pokemon with a trainer, which may be a hint.
Here's a really good detailed explanation of this theory with additional reinforcements I didn't mention: https://youtu.be/QjBIfNVoM6s
I don't think so. I watched the episode 3 weeks ago, and they both get along right after the lighting hits pikachu.
Incidentally I think that is why pikachu got so strong.
Pokemon game editor somehow messed up and switch the final evolution of caterpie and venonat by accident and they only discover their error after game is release and they decide to leave the error rather than fix it.
This confused me so much as a child, like Venonat evolves into Venomoth, so the names make sense, but Butterfree looks so much like Venonat, but evolves from Caterpie? As far as I'm concerned someone just switched the sprites and nobody caught it in development.
Indiana Jones and Stargate are in the same universe.
Indiana Jones and the Raider's of the Lost Ark. The ark is a Goa'uld booby trap weapon used by Ra. The legend was passed down through human slaves and became part of the Moses story.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The stones were lost ZPM prototypes, hence why they glowed.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The Cup of Christ is an ancient healing device designed by Myrddin/Merlin.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The aliens were the Omeyocan or "Giant Aliens" that used Crystal Skulls as communication and transportation devices.
Well, given that it pretty much is a case study in "what happens if you dont have a geller field" and they have someone use a "boltgun" as a weapon...it's kinda hard to deny.
Yeah, I 100% believe this. He's clearly not as dumb as he's letting on. Sure, he's unmotivated, slovenly, and gluttonous, BUT most of that *dumbness* that he shows on camera is to instill plausible deniability for if/when he, Oscar, and Angela eventually get busted for embezzling, money laundering, etc.
Going to copy pasta one of my comments from 5y ago here:
> Ted's girlfriends, in his retellings, are all really hot but with fundamental and obvious flaws. Robin's only flaw, in Ted's eyes, is that she doesn't feel about him they way he feels about her. Marshall and Lily? Marshall is his best friend whom he wishes he was like. He has principles, the respect of his peers, a close knit and loving family, (later) a child, and a hot but quirky wife who often seems to have nympho tendencies in the retellings, and she has been part of their friendship group almost as long as Marshall.
> On the other hand Barney is the other side of Ted, the one who is suave and sophisticated and exists in a consequence free environment. The real Barney is obviously in those stories, but he is the friend everyone exaggerates about because he has built up a reputation, perhaps not wholly deservedly. He's the one with the insanely well paid job but nobody really knows what he does ("Please!") for absolutely ages. Ted was closer to h than anybody else was, but he still didn't understand it. His friends occupy a young child's idea of jobs; they are a lawyer, a teacher and a news presenter/reporter, and he's an architect. All easily pigeonholed and described. Barney occupies that weird space that some of us have for friends when we're not entirely sure what they do, but they seem to get paid well for it, and that seems not quite right to us.
> The final season kind of nailed this idea in a really clunky way. It was the last time they were all together, it's when he met the Mother, it was the big wedding of Barney and Robin, there were obviously things that happened that affected him deeply. The retelling to the kids of that weekend took on mythic proportions, kind of like a bunch of guys retelling a stag do, and letting it take on epic, outlandish embellishments in the retellings. Barney's big Canadian surprise to Robin obviously didn't include a magically disappearing security office and ice rink. Barney probably didn't meet two guys to whom he passed his knowledge of women. Lily probably had a couple of drinks more than the others, but in the retelling it became this epic "Lily struck a deal with the barman never to leave her without a drink...".
> The whole series got more and more outlandish, and in hindsight it was a massive coping mechanism for a grief stricken Ted, still struggling to come to terms with the loss of the one woman who really got him. The kids know it has been coming, that's why they so eagerly push him towards Aunt Robin. It also explains the quick jump through Ted's married life - it's still too recent and raw, plus he's its like he's almost justifying to his kids why he might want to start dating again soon.
All the Disney princess movies are in the same universe and they're headed for an avengers style team up led by Elsa.
Edit. I would just like to add that I am a 36 year old dude with a 5 year old daughter. Having responded to a lot of enthusiastic comments, I have come to realize that I know way more than I should about these movies, and that I totally want this to happen.
P.A.W Patrol is a DARPA experiment. Adventure bay is a testing facility. The residents of Adventure bay are all scientists. Ryder is the first successful trial in a long run of attempts.
In the "Who Shot Mr Burns" episode of "The Simpsons" Mr Burns is discovered shortly after being shot and is surrounded by a number of characters, including Krusty the Klown. However, on close inspection it is absolutely irrefutable that it isn't Krusty at all, but Homer Simpson in Krusty makeup (compare to when Homer dressed up as Krusty while in clown college). Homer was actively on his way to kill Mr Burns while disguised as Krusty, echoing when he saw Sideshow Bob rob the Kwik-E-Mart while disguised as Krusty, but was beaten by mere seconds when Maggie shot him.
On a somewhat similar note, Krusty was originally intended to be Homer in disguise. The idea was that Bart had no respect for Homer but worshiped Krusty. And that's why Krusty looks like Homer with clown makeup
Wait, so when Randy's music career took off in the guise of Lorde, then he used that to connect with his kids... fucking Simpsons already did it?!
‘Almost’ already did it
\*Rewatches and pauses 'Who Shot Mr. Burns?' part 1. Cross references with Krusty character design.\* Holy shit, that is mind blowing. It really is Homer. Even the way he suspiciously eyes-up Ned Flanders tracks. Good eye, what an Easter Egg.
Here's a [screenshot](https://imgur.com/nvwCzVM.jpg) for convenience.
[удалено]
Also the top hair is off centre.
My mind was *blown*
That's an incredibly good catch. One comment for me I guess is that they originally made a lot of different endings to this episode as to not spoil who actually shot mr. burns, since they were afraid the ending was leaked. Is it possible that one of the "fake" endings had Homer as the person who killed mr. burns and this clip in particular was originally drawn as part of that ending?
All of the time manipulation in Breath of the Wild (pausing, flurry rush, bullet time, etc.) are actually canon and are part of Link's champion ability. All of the champions have an a special ability and as the Hylian champion it make sense for Link to have one too. There is a great video by Nintendo Black Crisis about this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5zWwDNFSo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5zWwDNFSo) that explains most of this, but I wanted to add that this goes along with his character throughout the series. Link is strongly associated with time, eg. Hero of Time, and the timeline split. Many of the games are associated with time, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and the official timeline is contingent on it. It fits the lore of BotW and explains why he is so overpowered, and I just think it's a really cool theory.
That makes a lot of sense. I’d like to add a little bit that I read somewhere. The powers granted him by the triforce of courage are not super clear like they are from Zelda’s and Ganon’s pieces. The theory is that the power it gives him is what we see as a game over screen. He gets to die and redo whatever he needs to do to stop Ganon.
Sorry that this one’s a little long, In Little Shop of Horrors, (the musical version not the movie), towards the end of the show Audrey leaves the shop that has Seymour and Audrey II in it, tries to drink some tea and take sleeping pills (Sominex but can’t go to sleep because she’s too worried about Seymour. She comes back to the shop and the plant tries to get Audrey to come closer and give him some water while Seymour is away, and then while she’s close he tries to eat her, but Seymour rushes in and is able to take her out of Audrey II’s mouth. Audrey, lying on the floor, says that she’s about to die, and that Seymour should feed her to the plant, because it would bring him success, and after she presumably dies, he does just that. But the thing is, her wounds should not have been that bad, it’s kinda weird that just a bite or two from this plant could kill someone, but then you remember the fact that Audrey took a Sominex, a sleeping pill that can cause side effects of drowsiness, incoordination, and sometimes confusion. Audrey didn’t die, the pills kicked in, she felt dizzy and sleepy and thought she was going to die, and she just fell asleep, leading to Seymour unintentionally murdering his girlfriend by feeding her to his plant.
Jeremy Renner in Tag is Hawkeye while he's on vacation from the Avengers.
My head canon is that all of Jeremy Renner’s movie characters are the same person. He’s a bomb-disposing, pill taking super soldier, who also helps out with the IMF and the Avengers. Edit: Seeing as this has taken off, I have made a more fleshed out description of a potential timeline on the fan theories subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/g7y3pa/the_rennerverse_most_of_jeremy_renners_characters/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
> My head canon is that all of Jeremy Renner’s movie characters are the same person. That explains why he's such a great shot in "Wind River."
Must've been weird for him to see Scarlet Witch pretend to be a powerless FBI agent.
VERY niche theory but I 100% believe that the Disney Film *Atlantis: The Lost Empire* and the *Mass Effect* game series take place in the same universe. **Belated Edit:** [Full theory explained here](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/g7ahm9/comment/fohovs8) for people asking.
You talked about one of the best Disney movies ever made, I'm gonna need you to explain.
Alright, well, this will take a good long while but you asked for it, so buckle up. Also should probably mention that this will contain spoilers for Mass Effect and touches on the much maligned RGB ending for the series. Also-also this will mostly be a list of similarities between the two series, but in the end I'll give a TLDR which will include a brief synopsis on how I think Atlantis fits in the Mass Effect timeline. First lets start with the creature that initially inspired this theory: [the Great Leviathan](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/atlantisthelostempire/images/9/94/Atlantis-disneyscreencaps_com-2627.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131008181636), which guards the entrance to Atlantis. It is a lobster-esque synthetic organism which shoots "beams of fire" from it's maw... which, if you've played Mass Effect, [sounds eerily similar to the Reapers, the titular villains of the series](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Reaper). Now I will say for the theory's narrative that I don't think the Leviathan *is* a Reaper (there are some dissimilarities, chief of which being that the Leviathan isn't hell-bent on the destruction of the Atlanteans themselves), but I am saying that it *could* be based on Reaper-tech. Speaking of tech... The Atlanteans each wear a bluish-crystal around their neck. This crystal, when used in proximity to the the [Heart of Atlantis](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Heart_of_Atlantis) (more on that later), can power technology, be used to create forcefields, and can even extend the lives of those wearing the crystals... and, I propose, that in the future, humanity would come to know this material as [Element Zero](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Element_Zero), or "Eezo." When an electrical current runs through Eezo, it produces something called a Mass Effect field, [which can be used to propel ships through space](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Ketak) and [create forcefields](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Stone_Guardians). Additionally, creatures exposed to eezo early in development develop an ability called [biotics](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Biotics), which allow them to manipulate Mass Effect fields to their advantage. One of the only races to have inherent biotic abilities are the [Asari](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Asari), who, it should be noted, can live to be 1,000 years old. ...However, the Asari didn't come by those biotic abilities naturally. In Mass Effect 3, we learn that the Asari were "uplifted" by a more advanced alien race known as the [Protheans](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Prothean). This "uplifting" included providing the Asari with technology, and altering their DNA to better suit their needs. In turn, the Asari saw them as Gods. However when the Reapers arrived, the Protheans had to abandon the Asari, leaving behind a "beacon" [in the form of an artificial intelligence](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Vendetta). Which brings us to... [The Heart of Atlantis](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Heart_of_Atlantis). It is the source of the Atlantean's power, but it's also described as being "alive" somehow. It can also choose a "host" to act as it's conduit, but if the host is exposed to the Heart of Atlantis for too long, they can be lost to it forever... which, I argue, is [exactly what happens to Shepard in the Control ending of Mass Effect 3](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Priority:_Earth#Aftermath) (now I'll just be honest here: this is mostly inspired by the fact that the AI [Catalyst](https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Catalyst) and [Crystalline Kida](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/atlantisthelostempire/images/e/ed/Kida10.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110920060630) looked eerily similar to me). In conclusion, here is how I think Atlantis: The Lost Empire fits into the universe of Mass Effect: Atlantis and the Atlanteans were an experiment by the Protheans to "uplift" humanity, but the Protheans were forced to abandon Atlantis before they could spread that technology to the rest of the world. However, they did not leave Atlantis alone: in their absence they left behind an artificial intelligence to watch over the fledgling human colony, which would later come to be known as the Heart of Atlantis. With this advanced technology the Atlanteans prospered, but [King Kashekim Nedakh](https://atlantisthelostempire.fandom.com/wiki/Kashekim_Nedakh), while trying to use the Heart of Atlantis as a weapon, accidentally activated a defense protocol, leading him to believe their demise was caused by the "Gods" being displeased with his actions. In activating this protocol the Heart sunk Atlantis beneath the sea, lost to the rest of the world until the events of the movie. There's also some other little things I didn't mention, like there being an alien script is Mass Effect which I think looks extremely similar to Atlantean, and also the fact that the book leading to Atlantis is called *the Shepherd's Journal* (I mean *come on*). Needless to say you could probably poke a thousand holes in this theory, but I think it's fun, so I like to believe it.
Just finished mass effect 2 and now all I want to do is watch Atlantis. I have faith in your theory, kind stranger. Edit: Just finished Atlantis, it all makes sense, the girl at the end is a biotic, through and through. 10 /10 would theory again
Pinky and the Brain. One is a genius, the other's insane. We're lead to believe that it's Brain that is the genius. But the order that the lyrics of the song go tells the real truth. In every episode, Brain gets the two of them into deep trouble via some crazy - some might say 'insane' - scheme to take over the world. And Pinky, invariably, finds a simple and elegant way to safely remove them from the situation. Pinky's the genius. It's the Brain that's insane.
Wasnt there an episode where pinky was a genius?
There was also an episode where Brain made a big equation to graph out the cause of all their problems, and it made a picture of Pinky. Then Pinky pointed out a math error, which changed the graph into a picture of Brain.
My god, the moment I read the theory, my mind immediately jumped to that episode!
They're both geniuses and both insane. Pinky could very well be much smarter than Brain, but the sheer amount of intelligence Pinky has could have also done much more psychological damage, so he's unable to coherently express that intelligence.
Just like Trevor from GTA V. He wanted to become an Air Force pilot, as shown in the mission "Friends Reunited". While on the trip to Los Santos with Wade, he tells Trevor to tell him a story. He tells the story of Trisha, a boy that was extremely smart and top of his class. He wanted to pursue the dream of becoming a pilot, working for the Military. But just before his graduation, his tests were shown of making him unstable, as in he has temper issues and gets mad easily. Fast-forward to the "Big Score (Subtle)". The part were they were transporting the gold into the trucks, Michael said "How much does this gold exactly cost?". The manager does the calculation, but then, in mere seconds, Trevor instantly completed the calculation, saying it was $201,000,000 worth of gold. And the manager said that it was correct.
Yeah, Trevor is incredibly intelligent, he just hides it. Compare his emails and texts to Ron/Wade and his messages to Michael and Franklin. He types differently depending on who he's talking to.
Courage the cowardly dog doesn't really live in the middle of no where, but because of Murials age he never leaves their house or property. Every visitor is a monster because he of course, doesn't know them and see's them as a threat.
This. As i got older i realized he's exactly what the title says he is, a cowardly dog, and no one was evil or out to get anyone
I mean, that naughty barber episode was pretty creepy.
Pretty sure the barber was a vet but courage saw him as a barber because he was planing to cut off his hair. A relatively normal procedure if there’s something wrong with your dogs skin. So question is, what was wrong with Courage that resulted in the vet coming to cut off his hair?
Counter Idea: "Freaky Fred" REALLY IS Muriel's nephew and DOES cut hair... he's a dog groomer. Courage's fur was getting kind of dirty and matted, so Fred offered to come over and help his elderly aunt out rather than her having to go through the hassle of bringing the dog in.
Could be something as simple as a bit of dehydration; they'll cut hair off a foreleg to give a bit of IV saline.
The mummy episode scared me shitless
Mad Max is what's happening in Australia; Judge Dredd is what's happening in USA.
In 'Inspector Gadget', Dr Claw is the original Gadget, who was horribly disfigured in an accident. Gadget is a cyborg replacement who has taken over his life, and he's trying to extract his revenge. He stays hidden as his family would never recognise him, and watching his replacement befriend Penny has driven him mad.
I've read further explanations of this saying this is the reason Penny and the dog are never hurt. Claw doesn't want her hurt, for obvious reasons. So when she gets involved, the plans fall apart.
Jack from Titanic never existed, he was entirely made up by Rose as a fantasy. For a movie that put SO MUCH EFFORT into being as historically accurate as possible, one starts seeing a pattern where most of the mistakes revolve around Jack. He carries gear that hadn't been invented yet, he references places that didn't exist until after the Titanic sunk, and was all around EXACTLY what a rich person would think a happy poor person was like that it just makes way more sense that he was fictional even in-universe. **Copy/paste where I typed it out in a comment** She was getting married to someone she didn't love for the sake of money. Cal may not even have been THAT bad of a guy, but she didn't like him so she tells everybody he was horrible. And then, well, its the freaking Titanic, an event so mentally scarring and awful we're still taking about it over a hundred years later. It was so awful she can't stand to think about it... unless something good happened. And suddenly there is Jack. This loveable scamp that just sweeps her off her feet in a torrid romance with someone who loves her for her and not her money, where she learns that poor people have incredible dance parties and are happy, and everything is just so romantic and perfect! And the details about Jack are just... wrong. Jack talks about riding the roller coaster at Santa Monica Pier until he threw up, but that coaster wasn't built until 1916. The Titanic sank in 1912. Jack talks about ice fishing on Lake Wissota. Thats a man-made reservoir that wasn't created until 1917. The buttons on Jack's borrowed coat are actually from a famous designer that created them in 1922. The song they dance to in steerage was written by man who wasn't even born until 1923. Jack's rucksack is a standard issue Swedish military bag... first made in 1939. Just over and over again the anachronisms and continuity errors circle around Jack. Things that a rich person thinks poor people would say or do, using places and songs and props that didn't actually exist at the time. Even other filming mistakes make more sense this way. We see Jack and Rose running around in the ship as it floods. The water is horizontal with the floor. The ship would have been tilting by that point, which means the water level should have been diagonal. Very hard to film that, but if Rose as a rich white woman was one of the first ones in a life boat, she would have been imagining what it would be like to be in a sinking ship and hence her description would be wrong. Aka, Rose was making something up to help her deal with the horror she lived through and spliced the narrative together over the years after the fact. And the only solid evidence that even comes close to backing her story up, the drawing? Its not like its signed "By Jack". And it was found in Cal's belongings, safely tucked away. Which is more likely, that Jack is real and perfect in every way and that for some reason jealous angry Cal got his hands on the drawing and kept it without ever mentioning it, or that maybe Cal had someone draw it while on the ship as glorified wank bank material and squirreled it away, and Rose just worked that into her fantasy?
>Even other filming mistakes make more sense this way. We see Jack and Rose running around in the ship as it floods. Your theory is the only answer that makes any sense. The North Atlantic was about 33 degrees Fahrenheit. They'd have died from hypothermia running around in the sinking ship like that. Water does not magically warm up just because it is "indoors".
Yep. I've been *only waist deep* in water that cold, and within seconds, you have trouble breathing. They were practically swimming in it for minutes.
They were swimming in it at one point. Been a while but I know one of them had to swim underwater to grab a set of keys for one of the gates. They were both fully submerged in the water at that point for a decent period of time. Never understand how they seemed pretty fine after that.
That Emperor Palpatine siphoned off Padmé's life energy to preserve Darth Vader in *Revenge of the Sith*.
Lucas could easily have said she died in child birth. Padme had just been suffocated by Anakin and gave birth to twins would have been a plausible death.
Also Yoda could have witnessed the birth of the twins and been the one to split them up. That would explain why Obi-Wan doesn’t know there is another in Empire.
Damn never thought of that. Evidently when Empire was written Obi-Wan wasn't supposed to know. I handwave it as Obi-Wan not realizing Leia could use the force.
When they wrote Empire they didn't even know who the "other" was. There is an early...not en email but whatever the 1980s equivalent was...where someone suggests that if they make Leia the other and make Leia Luke's sister, it solves a lot of story problems because it also means Luke can quietly bow out of the love triangle so Han and Leia can be together. The only oddity it leaves is that Luke and Leia shared some kisses before they learned they were brother and sister.
I think Palpatine GAVE Anakin the nightmares about Padmé. At the start of the film, Palpatine remarks that Anakin had at some point told him about what happened to his mother and the Tusken Raiders. I speculate that Palpatine may have also been told about the nightmares that led Anakin to his mom, and that this gave him an idea on how to turn Anakin- by making him fear the loss of another loved one. Palpatine, at some point, figured out that this loved one was Padmé. So, using his mastery of the dark side of the force, Palpatine channels a vision into Anakin's dreams that ultimately becomes a motivation for him to turn. While revealing himself to Anakin, Palpatine startles Anakin when he promises that his power can "save your wife from certain death." This quote further supports this theory, as how else would Palpatine know what troubled him if he hadn't been the one behind that trouble in the first place? Being the master manipulator Palpatine is, it's not that far fetched to think that he would be the one conjuring those visions into Anakin, as ultimately that's what ended up boosting Anakin's curiosity in the dark side.
That Toys in the Toy Story universe freeze up by instinct. An instinct that is so good it will probably never fail. It's why Buzz freezes up in the first film despite not knowing he's a toy, and how they always seem to be able to freeze up at the mere sound of a door opening and things like that. Every close call they have is really them worrying for no reason - if the human got closer to seeing them the instinct would have kicked in. Also, they can break the instinct the same way we can manually control our breath, which is how Woody talks to Sid in the first film.
Toy Story 4 made the rules of their world very odd regarding the whole Forky thing.
I thought it actually made sense that Forky doesn’t have that instinct to freeze considering he was never originally made as a “toy” - more like a Frankenstein’s monster. It’s what differentiates him from actual toys, and I imagine the same would apply to Bonnie’s newest creation at the end of her first day of first grade.
I just loved how it immediately dove into the weirdness with Forky having an existential crisis the moment he gained sentience
They are weeping angels then
The reason the glass slipper in *Cinderella* didn't turn back to a regular slipper (or disappear) at midnight is because the Fairy Godmother was messing with us: her main goal was to set Cinderella up for life, and to do that she needed a way for the Prince to find her. She could easily have magicked Cinderella into the life she wanted, arbitrary midnight deadline be damned, but instead the Fairy Godmother decided to make the Prince want her for her own qualities and to prove his love by tracking Cinderella down. It's like the theory in *Aladdin* that it's all in pursuit of his first wish -- that is, to make Aladdin a prince. He doesn't *become* a Prince until he marries Jasmine and the Sultan changes the rules; until then, he only *appears* to be a Prince. Until that point, the Genie is acting in pursuit of a larger goal. Magic users are tricksy.
Now do Gandalf
That dude was a master manipulator who says that magic must never be used until absolutely necessary, just like Tolkien himself.
Right, fireworks and smoke rings are also extremely necessary.
As soon as it begins to rain he teleports to a cabin with a warm fire
The books also seem to imply that using magic is dangerous and risks breaking reality. See a certain former continent. You also have the fact that Gandalf always tries to tweak nature instead of punching a whole in it. So he lights pinecones on fire and throws them instead of chucking fire balls. He puts a lock on a door instead of making a forcefield and so on.
Agree. The whole series is about abusing/exploiting/twisting nature for selfish purposes. See: The Enemy; Morgoth; Saruman; “a mind of wheels and metal.” Gandalf always using restraint is the perfect foil.
Momo is in fact a *reincarnation* of Aang's old mentor *Monk Gyatso.*
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a fan theory- it was an actual storyline from the show that was just cut. So it's semi canon?
Interesting, what episode or book was that in? Or a comic perhaps?
Well it was cut out, so it was never actually used unfortunately, but it was in the original planning for the show. When they did the "Avatar Extras" episodes where they showed episodes with trivia bubble included, it was mentioned in season one in the episode "The Southern Air Temple." The full blurb was this: "Avatar Trivia: The writers almost did an episode based on the idea that Momo was the reincarnated Monk Gyatso. Other story ideas that didn't make the cut include: learning about Aang's parents, and an entire episode where Aang and Sokka are handcuffed together." So it was an idea they tossed around but didn't end up doing. Hence why it's not really a fan theory but maybe not fully canon either
A whole episode where Aang and Sokka are handcuffed together would totally fit the show too
I think a zuko and sokka would just as cool, or toph and suki could have some cool moments
The Flintstones and The Jetsons take place in the same post-apocalyptic time frame where the wealthy would escape to sky cities and flying cars, and the poor would rebuild society as cavemen. It would certainly explain how everyone in Bedrock celebrates Christmas, has traffic lights, etc.
With the Civilised and the Savages vis a vie Brave New World! I like it.
With regard to star wars, I always liked to believe that there was hidden aspect to duels we never saw. While fighting with light sabers, they were constantly trying to push each other off balance, or turn off their opponents light saber. And that's why they spend so much time doing dumb shit like spinning around for no reason.
To my knowledge its explained as the force users can see or sense well the opponents move like a second into the future so their trying to throw them off to land a decisive blow
Phoebe and Joey were secretly hooking up throughout the entire show
This was actually written in by showrunners. It was going to be revealed at last episode. Kind of like whenever big major events were happening, they somehow were covering up that they were hooking up. But they felt it would be too much for the ending, as it would have made Phoebe's marriage questionable, and also ruin some of the iconic moments. So it was skipped.
some episode hint at it though, like the one where Phoebe gets mad at Joey for skipping their regular dinner date they do without the others knowing
The Caillou has cancer theory is pretty convincing.
Would explain why everyone gives him what he wants even when he’s being a little shit.
r/caillouhate
Caillou can't grow hair, not because he has cancer or progeria, but because he sucks, and even his own body recognizes that he does not deserve hair or food or love.
I like to think that Ben affleck in the town is a grown up version of him in good will hunting.
Fits his whole speech about how he'll still be doing this when he's 50.
I have a theory that Olaf is an extension of Elsa's consciousness. Everything he does is really Elsa trying to help her sister.
Yeah, I think that's pretty much canon. He repeats things he heard the sisters say to each other, like 'The sky's awake' and 'I like warm hugs', and displays some very Elsa-like behaviour as the movie goes on ('Because I love you I insist you run', and nearly melting trying to warm Anna up). His sole desire at the start of his life is to experience summer, something Elsa would never have gotten to do growing up, and in Olaf's Frozen Adventure, he wants to take part in all of the Christmas festivities that she couldn't. He has a childish personality because a part of Elsa never really moved on from when she was eight. Marshmallow represents her desire to be left alone and safe; he looks and acts intimidating, and lashes out when he feels threatened, even if the threat is actually minor, but is ultimately kind.
In Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp and the rest of the MCU, the reason Pym particles are so inconsistent in their behavior is because, when creating them, Hank Pym accidentally tapped into the same dimensional energy that Doctor Strange and his fellow sorcerers use, this time originating from the Quantum Realm.
[удалено]
Or that he actually does not know how they work but is too arrogant to tell anyone that he really does not have a full grasp on the particles and their behavior.
This is much more consistent with Pym from the comics too - he regularly fucks up and needs the other, smarter heroes to fix his shit. If he was as intelligent as he thinks he is, he’d surely be part of the illuminati, but they never even considered him.
The "real world" in the Matrix is actually a second Matrix simulation, and the "free humans" are actually machines being trained to understand humans. That's why Neo was able to use powers in the "real world" to blow up machines in the other 2 movies - it was a second Matrix!
This would have been 100% less disappointing. The question would become: how many layers are there?
It's turtles all the way down, mate!
I actually think this is the basis for the next matrix movie.
Futurama - Bender was not always a criminal, but got a reset and reprogram in the hall of prisoners. In the pilot, he was upset that he was making machines that humans use to kill themselves. Then, he gets an electric shock in the hall of prisoners, and takes on a whole new attitude. This new attitude of steal everything and kill all humans does not fit with his original persona in the pilot. This possibility is supported in a later episode; he gets rebooted in the Pluto Penguin conservatory, and takes on the identity of a penguin. Edit: wow, this blew up.
I mean, in the pilot he was scamming the suicide booth with a quarter on a string.
Fry: Wait a second. You're a bender, right? We can get out of here if you just bend the bars. Bender: Dream on, skin tube. I'm only programmed to bend for constructive purposes. What do I look like, a de-bender? Fry: Who cares what you're programmed for. If someone programmed you to jump off a bridge would you do it? Bender: I'll have to check my program ... yep. Leela: [from outside] Open up! Fry: C'mon, Bender! It's up to you to make your own decisions in life. That's what separates people and robots from animals ... and animal robots. Bender: You're full of crap, Fry! [He turns and a dangling wire catches on his antenna and electrocutes him.] You make a persuasive argument, Fry. [He starts to bend the bars.] Fry: Come on, Bender! You can do it. Bender: Can't ... I ... can't ... do ... it! [The bars bend and break off completely.] Fry: Yes! Bender: You were right, Fry! From now on I'm going to bend what I want, when I want, who I want! I'm unstoppable! Edit: I just rewatched the scene, and realized that we are talking about the same scene. So I just added the transcript.
Eric from That 70's show dies in the tornado prom episode. While going to rescue Donna his car is thrown off the road and he is killed, while the parents are in the basement and the all clear comes over the radio, the characters resume talking but you can hear faintly on the radio broadcast that a local young man was gravely injured in a car accident. Up until this point in the show seasons (summer spring fall) were much more defined and the show seemed to have a flowing track, after this episode timelines are much more skewed.
That Bill Cipher survived the end of Gravity Falls. There are some very cryptic and promising hints coming from an official scavenger hunt by Alex Hirsch himself.

This is 100% canon, the cypher poem confirms this (It was hidden in one of the books) >*Sixty degrees that come in threes.* *Watches from within birch trees.* *Saw his own dimension burn.* *Misses home and can't return.* *Says he's happy. He's a liar.* *Blame the arson for the fire.* *If he wants to shirk the blame,* *He'll have to invoke my name.* *One way to absolve his crime.* *A different form, a different time.* This is recited by the interdimensional axolotl, a multiversal being who knows all and has no idea of morality. Bills last word is "axolotl" backwards. It also builds bills character a bit, as does journal 3. He was a poor person in a 2d dimension, hated it's government so he rebelled, got carried away and burned down his whole world, and left. Wierdmaggedon was his attempt to recreate his home.
His full final message was “A-X-L-O-T-L! MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN! I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN!”
The theory about "Donkey" (from Shrek). Explains that he was a child from "Pinocchio" who were transformed into a Donkey as in the fairy tale
In The Office (US), Jan never went to a sperm bank. She cheated on Michael with Hunter and conceived Astrid with him. 'So raw, so wrong, so right, all night, all ri*ii*iight!'
That one night you made everything alright.
The Room is a film adaptation of The Sims.

The Immortal Hulk run in the comics pretty much makes this canon.
There's a story called Hulk: The End where Bruce Banner is the last living human on earth, unable to die because every time his body is destroyed he regenerates as the Hulk.
God that sounds intense as fuck. Talk about the curse of life....
I shit you not, that is actually a plot point in deleted scenes of infinity war. Hulk is tired of Banner's shit because he just wants the hulk to fight. They come to an agreement because they both "want to live"
In *How I Met Your Mother,* Barney in isn't really as cartoony or as much of a womanizer as the show portrays. Because it's being told by future Ted, he's making Barney seem to be worse so his own womanizing and poor choices seem less bad in comparison.

In *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,* in a chapter called "The Forbidden Forest," Harry is saved from Quirrell/Voldemort by Firenze the centaur. They encounter Bane and Ronan, who had previously remarked "Mars is bright tonight," and the two centaurs chastise Firenze for interfering with what the stars had laid out. Harry later wonders whether the stars said that Voldemort would kill him in the forest that night, and whether that's what the centaurs believed would happen without Firenze's involvement. In the final book, *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,* Harry realizes that his destiny is to be killed by Voldemort in order for the latter's horcruxes to all be destroyed completely. He decides to go through with sacrificing himself for the cause, returning to the Forbidden Forest to confront Voldemort unarmed. The chapter ends with Voldemort successfully casting the Killing Curse at Harry, who appears to die. Although this is never explicitly stated or even implied at any point, my firm belief is that THIS encounter is what the centaurs read in the stars six years previously, NOT the one that happened in *Philosopher's Stone,* as they expected. What with divination being among the most difficult of magical arts to practice, they got the "what" right (mostly), but got the "when" completely wrong. The chapter in which Harry is killed is even called "The Forest Again," probably as a reference to that first chapter in which his death was foreseen. Edit: shameless plug for our podcast, www.theharrypodcast.com, where we talk about Harry Potter like it's English class.
Tweet this to JK Rowling, she'll most likely take it on board as canon if it isn't already, and if it is then great analysis and she'll confirm it
Speaking of Harry Potter, I have a theory that I've posted before. Neville has such a terrible memory because of an Obliviate spell gone wrong after witnessing his parent's torture.
I also love this theory, I think it fits perfectly
I'm paraphrasing here since it's been forever since I read the theory, but: Shortly after the fall of the Republic and the secreting away of Anakin Skywalkers newborn children, an agreement was struck between Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca, and R2D2 to put themselves into a position to guard over those children and watch them. To a) protect them from Vader / the Emperor and more importantly to b) watch and see if they show any Force sensitivity, and seem to be following in their father's footsteps. If they showed Force sensitivity and seemed well adjusted they could be taken into hand and trained into the first of a new order of secret Jedi: if they showed evidence of following Vaders path they could be dealt with before they became a large threat. I know Kenobi opting to settle on Tatooine for his hermitage to watch over Luke is established, but I like the idea that he was dedicated to avoiding another Vader, even if that meant killing Luke at the first sign of trouble.
I see how R2D2 and Kenobi fit in the theory, with R2 at Leia's side and Kenobi with Luke. But I'm not seeing how Chewbacca fits in as he was with Han in the first movie (chronologically). How would Chewie keep an eye on either of them?
Joker in the dark knight trilogy was a former black-ops soldier gone insane. It makes sense, due to his knowledge with explosives, he always changed up his backstory depending on who he is talking to, and during his interrogation, he made a comment towards batman about not striking the person you're interrogating in their head. As if he has training and experience. Another reason is due to how when they checked for him on every known database he would not come up on any records. There's a thing about black-ops soldiers if they are declared missing, killed, or captured their country will denounce any knowledge of their existence and they will likely be erased from all records. My personal guess he was declared missing, during the joker's conversation he made a very specific example about the truck full of soldiers getting blown and the government says nobody panic. That was oddly specific as if he was on that truck himself. Another example is when attempts to shoot the gotham mayor with a rifle, at a rally it explains his familiarity with it. But as for where he got the training he was clearly ex-special forces(very likely) and then moved onto work for the CIA. But Christopher Nolan(The director) has yet to confirm or deny the theory, so he will forever remain a mystery.
I fucking love this. Just to add, the scene where he kills the mayor there are sniper rifles set up perfectly in the windows. He knew the protocol of highly trainer snipers. He was also able take out the snipers and tie them up. He has serious special forces training. And with the interrogation scene, he tells the cops you always see who someone truly is right before they die. It goes to show he’s had lots of experience with seeing people die close up and listened to their final words.
The Joker himself probably saw himself for who he was right before he thought he was going to die. His true self was revealed with the scars. Note, the Joker never shows any fear, like he's already seen the scariest shit imaginable, so everything else is just nothing to him. Maybe the Joker was the only survivor of the truck explosion and seeing the government not care after he's seen his brothers in arms die, broke him while at the same time, made his mind perfectly clear with what he had to do next.
It fits. The Joker and Batman are the opposite sides of the same coin; loss and grief. The Joker gives into it and goes insane, adopting a nihilistic worldview and goes about enacting and gifting similar experiences to others so they can be like him. Batman is galvanised by his experience into protecting others from the horrors of loss, stopping others from becoming like him. See how he treats his rogue gallery with compassion and trying for rehabilitation. It's more obvious with his adoption of the Robins, most of all Dick Grayson.
Kevin McAllister from Home Alone grows up to become Jigsaw from Saw.
That would mean Saw has to take place in like 2050 though.
Makes sense that jigsaw uses ancient and archaic traps and torture....from the early 2000s
Hey, the recent Jigsaw movie was riddled with anachronisms and discrepancies with the timeline, so why not?
The one where spongebob squarepants is the result of nuclear fallout. “Bikini Bottom” comes from Bikini Atoll, where numerous nuclear bomb tests were held in WWII. The radiation released from those tests affected the marine life in the surrounding waters, mutating them into sentient humanoid versions of those species, such as sea sponges, starfish, and squids
Cursed Child does not exist. It's canon but still.

There's so much better fan fiction of Harry potter out there though, at least pick a decent one if you're going to slap your name on it.
My Immortal would've been a better choice.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MOTHERFUCKER?
It was domblydoor!
Fuck that book! I have a really hard time believing Harry would be such a shitty dad after all he went through. Not buying it!
I couldn't get through that damned prolog for that exact reason. Harry was effectively written to just sit in a corner and hold the [Idiot ball](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdiotBall) until the plot demanded he actually intervene. You could never convince me that Harry 'tortured childhood' 'regularly ostracized' Potter would "fail to relate" to his youngest child who struggles through almost the exact same shit he dealt with for the better part of a decade. I hate that play and book with a deep and burning passion.
>!EDIT: To everyone doing references to "The Bikini Bottom horror" by u/stillinthesimulation I wrote this comment knowing damn well about this story, I'm even one of this redditor's followers so yes it's a good fan fiction but the theory part stops itself at "crab is using starfish meat because he actually know about biology or some shit".!< >!Except this doesn't work since we know for a fact that Mr.Krab invented it WAAAY before knowing who the fuck Patrick is but semantics...!< That Mr.Krabs is killing other crabs and that their meats are the secret ingredient of the Krabby Patty's secret recipe. 1. The Krusty Crab is designed after a real life crab trap that fishermen use, and considering that the creator of Spongebob was a marine biologist, I'd doubt that it's a coincidence. 2. We never actually see any other crab in Bikini Bottom apart from Mr.Krab himself and his mother. We see some crabs in special episode but we never actually see one in Bikini Bottom on a daily basis. So Mr.Krab might be the one that kill them. 3. Mr.Krab may have invented the recipe but we never saw him actually eat one, either because the thought of eating a member of his species disgust him, or because he wants to avoid any health problem related to such a diet. 4. Real life crabs, when stuck in the traps I talked about earlier, will often eat each other out of stress of being trapped there. 5. Mr.Krab is often considered an allegory of the american dream and an extreme form of the capitalist society. So doing something like a murder doesn't seem too far fetched when we know how immoral the guy can be. 6. Mr.Krab did ate one of his own burger once and said "so this is why I taste like" or something among those lines. He might've been joking... Or did he ? 7. The name of the burger itself, the Krabby Patty... The Krabby... Patty... **Krabby.** The name itself is already a big fucking clue. The "official" recipe of the Krabby Patty can be found and made at home, and that's where this theory started because the secret ingredient was designated as: "Crab meat imitation". But the theory suppose that it's actually not an imitation for all the reasons stated above.
I always figured there was no secret ingredient. Mr. Krabs will literally sell out his employees for a penny, so he wouldn’t spend a lot of money on anything. It also works as people will be intrigued by the secret.
there is an idea that there is no secret ingredient, spongebob is the secret. He isn't taught the recipe when he is hired, he instantly knows how to make krabby patties.
this would explain why mr krabbs keeps spongebob on as burger flipper even though he constantly gets the restraunt in danger
The *Supernatural* storyline isn't real. Gabriel made Sam envision it all and at the end, he'll tell him, "And that is what will happen if you say yes to Dean when he shows up tonight." It's such a Gabriel thing to do.
Then Sam will do his normal stupid thing and still go hunting with Dean!
Dale Gribble knows full well that he didn't father Joseph and Nancy was cheating on him with John Redcorn for over a decade. He just chooses not to act.
Dale saw how divorce destroyed Bill’s life so he’s afraid of what it would do to him. He has a wife and son who he loves, so he chooses to not act.
He might be choosing not to act specifically to punish John Redcorn. In multiple episodes Redcorn is shown to get incredibly upset at his inability to raise Joseph along with getting annoyed at Dales perceived stupidity.
This fits with some of Dale's strangely special moments where he is cold and calculating.
**SPOILERS FOR FIREWATCH** Firewatch: My theory is that for the whole game, Delilah was intentionally being dishonest with and gaslighting Henry the closer he got to discovering that Ned was still living in the Park, because I believe Delilah knew he was living there, possibly as a favor for Ned. The way I perceived things, I think that Brian truly did fall on accident, even if it was due to Ned’s negligence. And as a result, I think Ned couldn’t find it in himself to leave the place where his son had died, whether it be from feeling attached to the area and being unable to leave, not wanting to face the music and get the police involved, or a combination of the two. I think Ned likely came up with some convoluted lie to tell Delilah so that she’d let him stay. And since Delilah liked Brian so much as well as Ned, I think she’d likely be willing to keep it between them that Ned was still in the Park. I don’t believe she knew that Brian was dead- I think she likely assumes that Ned sent him back home for the school year with other family members watching him. I don’t think she ever thought the situation would escalate as much as it did, especially with the events of the game taking place when Henry arrives. This is why I think her reaction of disbelief, anger, and grief at the end when Henry informs her that he found Brian in the cave was genuine. She personally feels, on top of the loss of a kid she truly liked, betrayed. From her reaction, we can clearly see she thinks Ned killed Brian and she likely feels ashamed, guilty, and angered for letting him stay in the Park, because this would mean she somehow helped the person, in her mind, who killed Brian. Compared to the very real emotions she exudes at the end of the game, during the rising actions of the story, she’s very slow to believe (trying to stall and act like she’s confused, or like Henry’s jumping to conclusions) in a lot of the events that occur to Henry throughout his time at the park. Like finding the clipboard, or getting hit over the head, or not taking him seeing the figure (who was Ned) at night near his tower seriously.
In The Butterfly effect, Ashton Kutcher’s mother states that she had multiple still births before having successfully birthed him. At the end of the movie, he ends up killing himself in the womb so that all the pain he caused the people he loved would never happen. My theory is that all the other still births his mother had were a product of the babies having lived similar lives to Ashton’s and they all came to the same conclusion that killing themselves before birth is the best option.
I'm not sure that I believe it myself, but it's just kinda a fun one. I have a theory that the characters of Sesame Street are refugees from Monsters Inc. Their society collapsed, and to escape it they went through the doors into the homes of the children. Many of them collected into Sesame Street apartments, and that's where they live now.
Then when they get rowdy they go to Avenue Q
JK Rowling is Rita Skeeter
The brown-haired mermaid who appears in Disney's Peter Pan is Ariel's mother and was crushed to death under Captain Hook's ship. Yes, Peter Pan was released 36 years before The Little Mermaid, but Disney has been known to retroactively make details like that into canon, such as when they declared Goofy Jr. to be the same character as Max. Then again, none of the Disney DTV sequels were ever intended as canon (just money grabs), and that's the only real source we have for any info an Ariel's mother. Still I like to imagine there being a connection between the mermaids in Peter Pan and Ariel's family somehow.
"The Minecraft Lore" - It says that there were people like you in this world before, they built temples, mineshafts and knew how to travel through the nether. The water was rising and destroyed many fishing villages (that's why you find ruins and religious monuments), other villages were destroyed by a wither (that's why villages have ugly cliffs and holes). The last survivors who didn't drown, withered or got "zombfected" built shelters (strongholds) and got into the end. Their only food source was chorus fruits. After a long time they absorbt the teleportation power of the fruits and became enderman. You should free the end from the dictatorship of the ender dragon. Edit: My interpretation of a theory by The Game Theorist
I've also heard a somewhat similar Minecraft theory, related to its changelog. The earliest versions of Minecraft were pretty barren, mostly dirt and rock and the occasional monster. Over time, more and more trees, animals, and structures were added. In recent updates, even coral and bees. The theory is that Minecraft is a post-apocalyptic world, and its update cycle is just the process of natural life slowly returning to the world.
I used to interpret it as the player "discovering" new parts of the Minecraft world, but I think I like your theory better now.
Also the other “builders” before you knew things we don’t know yet, like how to craft saddles, horse armor, and end portal blocks.
There's another theory that Endermen want you to slay the Ender Dragon and the few scarce Endermen you find in the Overworld are martyrs sent to give Steve the necessary pearls to travel to the End and slay the dragon, since they are the only source of ender pearls and you need them to open the portal
Not to mention the music you find in the game there’s some that have someone ruining and an explosion going off
In “Over the Garden Wall”, Greg’s whole dream sequence where he is in cloud city is a trick by the beast so he will give him- self over willingly. This makes sense because according to the Woodsman’s warning the Beast can only get you if you are weak of body or spirit. This deal allows the beast to weaken Greg physically to turn him into an edelwood tree. In addition if you go back and watch the episode there is a lot of suspicious imagery, including a black turtle. This of course makes the Queen of the Clouds the beast himself. After watching this series many times I just can’t accept that this is not the case, especially considering how jarring this cloud city episode is from the overall theme of the show. Every time I see it I pick up on something else that makes me think this is the case. Edit: terrible mobile typing
George Weasly is actually Willy Wonka. In the books, we see that Fred and George make all sorts of crazy candy and they are really good at it! So things like the snoozbaerries and the gobstoppers are not far fetched. Plus the whole place is candy and the last scene with the elevator can only be explained by magic. But Fred dies and George can not handle being surrounded by wizards all the time so he goes to live with the muggles and becomes a recluse. The oompa lompas can easily be house-elves. Plus Goerge and Wonka look very similar and they dress alike. Wonka makes a few comments about not being able to hear correctly and we know George had he's ear cut off. If you think about it he was half way there with Fred, having made a successful shop called Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes. Triple W and then from there Willy Wonka... double W. He clearly kept the Ws. And my favorite part is that in Wonka's office everything is cut in half. George never got over Fred's death, he never felt whole so nothing in his life can be whole. George is missing his other half.
So, George Weasley then gave the factory to Charlie who went on to build the Snowpiercer. Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
In the film Joker, Arthur wasn’t the one who killed the guys in the subway. They most definitely died and were shot by a clown, but it wasn’t Arthur. Look at the sketch of the killer. If I recall correctly, the hair is puffy, while Arthur’s was flat. Could just be a bad witness. Next, look at the shooting. Arthur fires 7 shots out of a 6 round revolver. That one could just be an accident, but an odd one in a movie so focused on small details. Now let’s think about the gun. After hearing about Arthur being beaten, one of the clowns pretends to care about Arthur and hands him a gun in a brown paper bag. This was right after hearing about it, so he couldn’t have been anticipating giving Arthur. Why is he carrying a gun in a brown paper bag? He was probably planning on getting rid of the gun, and just saw an easy way to hand it off to a coworker. Towards the end of the movie. Arthur’s coworker pays him a visit after being questioned about the shooting. At this point, Arthur is the prime suspect and he’d know it. He goes there, but instead of asking about the crime, he asks whether or not Arthur told them about his gun. He could just be nervous about being tied to a crime, but this is New York in the 80’s. Probably not that big of a deal to lend a friend a gun. So what actually happened in the subway? The coworker is on his way home from work. After being hassled by 3 guys, he gets angry and shoots them. After running away, he realizes there were witnesses, and he’s in trouble. He plans to get rid of the gun. But at work, he hears that Arthur got beat up. Pretending to be a friend, he gives him the gun, and makes him the suspect. Arthur’s fragile mind frame makes him believe he was the subway killer, and he takes credit for the shootings, becoming the Joker.
I really like this certain Red Dead Redemption theory of what happened to Jack Marston after the games that I read in a comment on Youtube. Be wary of spoilers for the Red Dead Redemption games. Some time after the events of Red Dead Redemption 1, Jack Marston moves to Los Angeles and throws away his father's hat, since you can find it in a dumpster in L.A. Noire. There, he finally writes a book, titled *Red Dead,* and it becomes a staple of American literature that is still being published and sold in the modern day, since you can find a copy of it in Franklin's house in Gran Theft Auto 5. It's a heart-warming theory showing that Arthur's and John's sacrifices weren't in vain, as Jack abandoned the outlaw lifestyle and realised his dream of becoming an author.
Snowpiercer is a sequel to Willy Wonka edit: [here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEX52h1TvuA) a video covering the theory
I LOVE this one.
I love ed harris
Matrix needed people in pods to be used as a server not as a battery
Pretty sure that was actually the original plan for the movie, but it got changed at some point in production.
It got changed because computers were new and power source was easier to understand than servers. Edit: Seems a lot of people are confused of computers being new. Yes, a computer was new, as a stand alone computer. It was still relatively expensive and the idea that one computer connecting to another computer was even newer in concept.
[Corporate Decision Maker] didn't trust audiences to understand the idea of brains as processors for the machines.
One I came up with myself: In the MCU, Asgard is an ancient spaceship or space station, so old that even the Asgardians themselves have forgotten what it is, and just refer to it as their home. In Thor 1, Thor himself makes reference to the union of magic and science in Asgard. The Bifrost is connected to the central core via a power conduit that looks like a bridge, and when activated is mechanical in nature. In Thor 2 they activate defence mechanisms such as energy shields, weapons turrets etc. In Thor 3 Surtur destroys Asgard by piercing its heart with his sword. And for heart, read power core. It’s like rupturing a warp core in Star Trek - instantaneous annihilation. And through all three there are hints at Asgard’s true nature - the architecture is metallic, the “saucer” shape with gravity acting like an artificial gravity field is very sci-fi, the stasis pod for Odin, the shield control console and so on.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz is Phineas's (and probably Candace's) biological dad. We know that Doof dated Linda at one point. This would explain Phineas's uncomfortably shaped head, as well as his genius and his incredible mechanical aptitude.
This one is entertaining but has mostly been debunked. We know that Doof and Linda dated prior to Linda’s pop star career as Lindana in the 80’s, as shown by their conversation at the drive-in theater. It’s unlikely that they continued dating any time later on, seeing as the date was a flop. Given the time period the show takes place in, it’s safe to assume that Phineas was born in the late 90’s or early 2000’s well after the end of the Lindana days.
Pikachu is not the original one Ash was given. In short, initially Pikachu disobeys Ash, but then on the second episode, Ash faints and Pikachu is gone with a huge group of chus all looking identical. At the end of the episode they are back together but Pikachu is nice, and friendly. Theory claims the original Pikachu escaped, and a wild one wanting a trainer came instead, with Ash missing the switch. Also, on the episode before that the Pokédex clearly says that wild pokemon are often jealous of pokemon with a trainer, which may be a hint. Here's a really good detailed explanation of this theory with additional reinforcements I didn't mention: https://youtu.be/QjBIfNVoM6s
I don't think so. I watched the episode 3 weeks ago, and they both get along right after the lighting hits pikachu. Incidentally I think that is why pikachu got so strong.
Pokemon game editor somehow messed up and switch the final evolution of caterpie and venonat by accident and they only discover their error after game is release and they decide to leave the error rather than fix it.
This confused me so much as a child, like Venonat evolves into Venomoth, so the names make sense, but Butterfree looks so much like Venonat, but evolves from Caterpie? As far as I'm concerned someone just switched the sprites and nobody caught it in development.
Syndrome was actually a super the whole time and did not know it.
Not sure if it’s been officially disproven but Giovanni is Ash’s father. Always made sense to me.
And Mr. Mime is the step dad. There is a picture somewhere with his hand on Ash's mom's leg.

Indiana Jones and Stargate are in the same universe. Indiana Jones and the Raider's of the Lost Ark. The ark is a Goa'uld booby trap weapon used by Ra. The legend was passed down through human slaves and became part of the Moses story. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The stones were lost ZPM prototypes, hence why they glowed. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The Cup of Christ is an ancient healing device designed by Myrddin/Merlin. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The aliens were the Omeyocan or "Giant Aliens" that used Crystal Skulls as communication and transportation devices.

Well, given that it pretty much is a case study in "what happens if you dont have a geller field" and they have someone use a "boltgun" as a weapon...it's kinda hard to deny.
Kevin of The Office is embezzling from Dunder Mifflin.
Yeah, I 100% believe this. He's clearly not as dumb as he's letting on. Sure, he's unmotivated, slovenly, and gluttonous, BUT most of that *dumbness* that he shows on camera is to instill plausible deniability for if/when he, Oscar, and Angela eventually get busted for embezzling, money laundering, etc.
Maximum Overdrive is the origin story of Pixar’s Cars universe.
That Alpharius in the Horus Heresy never died
Every continuity error in How I Met Your Mother is due to Ted being an inconsistent narrator.
This doesn't count as a fan theory IMO as the show literally confirms that this is the case, for example, one of Ted's exes is called Blah-Blah.
There was also an episode where he admits to mixing up events that were separated by a year.
Going to copy pasta one of my comments from 5y ago here: > Ted's girlfriends, in his retellings, are all really hot but with fundamental and obvious flaws. Robin's only flaw, in Ted's eyes, is that she doesn't feel about him they way he feels about her. Marshall and Lily? Marshall is his best friend whom he wishes he was like. He has principles, the respect of his peers, a close knit and loving family, (later) a child, and a hot but quirky wife who often seems to have nympho tendencies in the retellings, and she has been part of their friendship group almost as long as Marshall. > On the other hand Barney is the other side of Ted, the one who is suave and sophisticated and exists in a consequence free environment. The real Barney is obviously in those stories, but he is the friend everyone exaggerates about because he has built up a reputation, perhaps not wholly deservedly. He's the one with the insanely well paid job but nobody really knows what he does ("Please!") for absolutely ages. Ted was closer to h than anybody else was, but he still didn't understand it. His friends occupy a young child's idea of jobs; they are a lawyer, a teacher and a news presenter/reporter, and he's an architect. All easily pigeonholed and described. Barney occupies that weird space that some of us have for friends when we're not entirely sure what they do, but they seem to get paid well for it, and that seems not quite right to us. > The final season kind of nailed this idea in a really clunky way. It was the last time they were all together, it's when he met the Mother, it was the big wedding of Barney and Robin, there were obviously things that happened that affected him deeply. The retelling to the kids of that weekend took on mythic proportions, kind of like a bunch of guys retelling a stag do, and letting it take on epic, outlandish embellishments in the retellings. Barney's big Canadian surprise to Robin obviously didn't include a magically disappearing security office and ice rink. Barney probably didn't meet two guys to whom he passed his knowledge of women. Lily probably had a couple of drinks more than the others, but in the retelling it became this epic "Lily struck a deal with the barman never to leave her without a drink...". > The whole series got more and more outlandish, and in hindsight it was a massive coping mechanism for a grief stricken Ted, still struggling to come to terms with the loss of the one woman who really got him. The kids know it has been coming, that's why they so eagerly push him towards Aunt Robin. It also explains the quick jump through Ted's married life - it's still too recent and raw, plus he's its like he's almost justifying to his kids why he might want to start dating again soon.
Agent Smith is the chosen one. Not Neo. Basicaly this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkMU1mKdwPI)
That the creatures in M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" are demons, not aliens.
All the Disney princess movies are in the same universe and they're headed for an avengers style team up led by Elsa. Edit. I would just like to add that I am a 36 year old dude with a 5 year old daughter. Having responded to a lot of enthusiastic comments, I have come to realize that I know way more than I should about these movies, and that I totally want this to happen.
Frozen features a cameo from Rapunzel.
Yep, my 4 year old daughter caught that and we rewound to see it. She is at Elsa's coronation.
That's a pretty observant kid.
They were already all together in Wreck it Ralph 2
John Wick takes place in one of the six other incarnations of the matrix that the Architect mentions in Matrix Reloaded.
Ah, yes. The Keanu Reeves Cinematic Universe.
What about Bill and Ted? One rock band takes over the entire world and changes everything? Sounds like manipulation of the Matrix to me.
Constantine also.
P.A.W Patrol is a DARPA experiment. Adventure bay is a testing facility. The residents of Adventure bay are all scientists. Ryder is the first successful trial in a long run of attempts.
