Fan theories that are Insane/awesome/valid - Page 10

Fan theory that is confirmed: Jack didn't have to die. The Mythbusters have done the science.

No shock there.  I always had her pegged as self-centered.  After all, what kind of person spends their last living moment dreaming of a one-night stand from decades ago...instead of her husband, THE FATHER OF HER CHILDREN, whom she spent most of her life with?!?

 

Jack should have pushed her off the wood and drowned her ass.

I think they really got that myth busting wrong. Can two people "balance" on a door, with a lot of effort? Yes. Can they do it and keep enough of their body out of the water to not go hypothermic, and lose their grip on that door and then drown? No, I don't believe they can.

 

I can't remember but I think Firefly is actually supposed to take place after the events of Fray.

Oh shit... Pai Mei snatched his eye and his Jheri curl!

Probably with one strike. When Pai Mei rolls, he rolls deep.

Loki: Agent of Odin!

 

Looked at objectively, Loki is an incompetent buffoon who "lacks conviction" in Avengers. However, Loki was operating "undercover" during the events of that film, acting on orders from Odin himself!

 

Seems that Odin had gotten word of some malevolent force out there in the cosmos, contacted and reconciled with Loki on the sly, then had Loki contact the Chitari and Thanos. The whole scheme was intended to gather the super=powered champions of Earth as The Avengers to 1) drive back the Chitari 2) draw out Thanos.

 

What else explains Loki's actions? He admits his plan is to get the Avengers assembled so he can destroy them, but that's just stupid.

 

Also, Loki has a "glowstick of Destiny" which could defeat the Avengers, yet he leaves it behind rather than use it to blast Thor at a crucial moment!

 

 

Yes I think we'll see in Thor 2 that Loki was the secret force for Good all along! Sure there was some collateral damage along the way, but hey Asgardians are a Warrior race!

Did you actually watch the video? They're both mostly out of the water and not expending any effort to balance themselves.

In Batman Begins, the elderly socialite at Wayne's party who introduces him to Ras Al Gul is in fact a member of the league of shadows, playing a small but critical role in that evening's plot.

Ha.  That one works because the scene is so unnaturally staged.  She asks if he's met Ras Al Ghul.  He says audibly "That's not Ras Al Ghul", to which she has no response,  despite raising a whole lot of questions in someone's mind, you'd think.  Then she just sort of drifts off hoping no one remembers she was there.

 

I was rather 'wtf' about that when I first saw it.

 

("Script not very good"  is still my favoured explanation when all said and done though)

My thoughts exactly! The way she just sort of shuffles off, as if to say "My job here is done", when by all rights under normal circumstances she should have had follow up questions given Bruce's  reaction, it says to me she was there to play a role at that precise moment. Or that the script hadn't quite figured that whole scene out, as you say.

I always liked the idea of the League trying to set up that weird beat. 

 

"Ok Jim, when we're in you pretend you're Ra's to that woman, but only when you're stood near Wayne. Then when she tries to introduce you to him IT'LL BLOW HIS MIND!"

What I want to know is who invited the League of Shadows to Bruce Wayne's birthday party? I mean, Jesus.

Quote:

 

It's because she was of the generation that knew when "MEN were talking". She was probably disappointed that she didn't get a Connery slap on the ass on her way out.

Jason Bourne and all the 'assets' he fights are Highlanders. The Series-style, with Watchers and everything.

I'm not sure where to put this theory so I'll put it here.

In my own twisted world the script Charley Kaufman's twin brother was writing in the movie Adaptation got produced, went through several rewrites and eventually emerged as the movie Identity

I'll see your Identity and raise you a move actually called Thr3e...

 

Innocent lives hang on the whim of an elusive psychopathic murderer whose strange riddles and impossible timelines force three people into a mission to end the game before one or all of them die.

 

All that's missing from the description is whether there's a chase scene involving the killer on a horse and the cop on a motorcycle, y'know, showing the struggle between technology...and horse.

The M code-name tradition in the Bond series started in the 19th century because of fabled government agent Mycroft Holmes.
 

Alan Moore agrees with you.

I thought he used Moriarty?

Mycroft Holmes replaced Moriarty in League II.

Jenny died of AIDS in Forrest Gump. It's the mid-80s, and Jenny has a "virus" that the "doctors don't know what it is and there's nothing they can do about it." Throw in her IV drug use and you've got AIDS. As Jenny died of AIDS, therefore both Forrest and Little Forrest have AIDS. Ergo, everyone at the end of Forrest Gump has AIDS.

You sick fuck! Even Lt. Dan!?

 

Not a lot to do when you're on a shrimp boat all day besides play chess and screw. And Forrest suck at chess.

That would explain Little Forrest's uncomfortable visit with Walker, Texas Ranger:

 

No, no... remember the line? "But you ain't got no AIDS Lt. Dan."

 

At least I think that's what he said.

Yeah, but then he got Magic AIDS at the end.

Special Category:Insane Theories Based on Naive Readings of Film.

I had a girlfriend who didn't believe that Jenny had AIDS. They never say it's AIDS; just a virus. 

Also: had a roommate who suggested that Humbert was never actually screwing Delores in Kubrick's "Loltia" since all that business happens off-screen.

Equal part Insane and Awesome

 

Jurassic Park

Dr. Ian Malcolm and Dr. Ellie Sattler's brief torrid love affair began on the island. Always seemed that way to me.

Jenny totally had AIDS.

I've always thought that the Terminator movies and the Matrix movies existed in the same universe and that The Matrix was Skynet's Final Solution in taking over humanity and that the Agents were the next step in Terminator technology.

 

Is there anything in the Matrix movies and the Animatrix that contradicts that?
 

I don't know of any instance in the Matrix series where a clear picture of the A.I.'s hierarchical structure is given, let alone the name of the entity or entities at the top. The Oracle, the Architect, and the Merovingian clearly have some pull within the Matrix itself, but how machine society organizes itself outside of the human farms seems to be completely mysterious (probably just because it's outside the scope of the series' interests).

However, the Animatrix tells an origin story which differs significantly from the narrative of the Terminator franchise. In what is presented as a retelling of the history straight from Zion's archives, humanity fired the first shots when robots threatened to make human labor obsolete. The war was initially one of human aggression against friendly A.I., in which humanity simply bit off more than it could chew.

There's room for a crossover between the Terminator and Matrix franchises only if certain conditions are true: the history that Kyle Reese tells Sarah Connor in The Terminator *or* the history presented in The Animatrix contain inaccuracies, *and* Kyle Reese was mistaken about John Connor having brought the war to a successful end before the Terminators were launched into the past. If the Animatrix's history is true, then the end of Terminator 3, in which Skynet launches its war of aggression, cannot be canon (which would be a shame, because I liked how the third movie solved Terminator 2's "Go back in time and kill Hitler" paradox.)

If Coulson comes back in the TV show or Avengers 2, I'm calling this the best theory I've read yet.

 

Hell, even if he doesn't come back, THIS IS THE BEST THEORY EVER.

My first experience with having a CONVICTION that a personal theory was correct was after watching Matrix: RELOADED....  

 

After Neo stops the sentinels and blacks out, I walked out of that theater 100% CONVINCED that I was watching the set-up of a complete work of genius, and that REVOLUTIONS would reveal Neo waking up in a white room with Kubrick 2001-like decor strapped into a computer with no creepy insect-like machines, a nice blue sky outside and just rows and rows of people plugged in next to him, and realize he was the first person to ACTUALLY get out.

 

Zion was the back-up program for people who started to reject the Matrix; they EVEN set it up in the original film by stating that humans define their reality through suffering, hence why a paradise was always rejected and instead they gave us 1990s-era metropolis with all the piss, shit and boring cubicle work just so we'd think it was "real."

 

For those who even THAT isn't shitty enough for them to believe it, they let them think they "get out" and instead give them an even SHITTIER existence, with crap food, bad clothes, having to live underground... it's a horrible existence in Zion... WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THEY ACCEPT THAT IT MUST BE REAL.

 

I'm telling you, I was COMPLETELY convinced that's what they were going for.   I've never been more disappointed by a film since... well, until Prometheus.

The Princess Brice is a prequel to Robin Hood Men in Tights. Wesley gives up the title of DPR. After Buttercup dies from the plague he longs for something to live for and  joins the crusades under the name of a dead family member Robin of Locksley. Not wanting his captures to know he is a king.

Death Proof is the sequel to Hooper. Ski, Jan-Michael Vincent's character, disappears from Hollywood and becomes the serial killer Stuntman Mike. Ski had women troubles because of his profession, which would explain Stuntman Mike's MO.

Re-Animator takes place in the Puppet Master series. Herbert West discovered Andre Toulon's formula and possibly the work the Nazi's had made as well. He then perfected it (almost) to be used on humans. Both life giving elixirs are green, but West's has a glow to it due to the modifications he made to the formula.
