Fan theories you firmly believe in

[LetalisK]

Plus; I can give you one absolute reason why he's not dead.

He's the BATMAN.

Also; sequels.

ever heard of nightwing?

I'm pretty sure that guy has muscles that don't even exist.

I believe that Squall did indeed die in the end of disc 1 in FF VIII.

And people give me a lot of shit for this. BUT THEY JUST CAN'T SEE THE TRUTH!

 

[KINGBeerZ]

One of my favourite fan theories is the "Squall is Dead" thory from FFVIII, if only because it makes the game make slightly mre sense.

 

[Infernai]

James Bond is not a single person, but a codename for agent 007, and all the different incarnations of Bond were different people doing the same job.

Or alternately, James Bond is a Timelord. This makes some sense given the fourth bonds appearance in the doctor who serial "The End of Time".

The most dominant theory I hold to is that Gordon Freeman is exactly how Ross Scott's machinima series Mind [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=ELkznu7Gec_hU] portrays him.

I consider this Canon too. I mean, hell, it just makes too much sense not to believe that Gordon is basically thinking all this stuff.

 

[Swny Nerdgasm]

Perhaps, but do you really think that

Spoiler

Jon Snow is going to STAY dead?

Spoiler: O'Lord no!

Considering there a red priestess around and there's wrights like Coldhands.

But my point was that after dying, Jon really isn't bound by his oaths to the Nights watch.

And seriously...

Spoiler

Fuck the Nights Watch. Fuck them hard. At first I was all shocked and thinking "HOW COULD THEY DO THAT???", then I remember that they already killed the previous Lord Commander. Those guys are assholes! /fanrage

Haven't you realized everyone in that universe is an asshole?

 

[Diablo2000]

Simply put, post theories of video games/movies/books/whatever that you (like to) think are true, and why you think that.
Well, I watched The Dark Knight Rises a couple of days ago, and unless a sequel contradicts me, I will keep believing that

Spoiler

Bruce really died in the explosion and Alfred seeing Bruce in Florence is just a hallucination, because Bruce faking his own death and moving to Florence just seems out of character.

Also, inb4 Indoctrination Theory.

I don't quite buy the theory (about The Dark Knight Rises ) because (after seeing the film three times),

Spoiler

Selina Kyle is definitely sitting next to Bruce. Why would Alfred see Bruce with a jewel thief and not some random woman? He doesn't know that they kissed/got together just before Batman took the nuke away. It also defeats the point of the scene because if none of this is actually happening then Alfred doesn't get what he wants for Bruce and is left as just a delusional old man.

Spoiler

Also, if he really set Blake up to be the next Batman, Nightwing, Red Hood or whatever. Knowing that Gotham's biggest symbol of hope remains even after his "death" and starting being too old to carry on as Batman (He got his ass kicked hard by Bane the first round and only won the second because he knew where to hit), I can totally see happening.

And then there's the problem of making that whole final sequence of setting "He is Alive" up useless, something I believe Mr.Nolan wouldn't do unless we start taking retarded pills by the time to make the ending.

 

[Froken Keke]

I like the idea that every Quentin Tarantino film takes place in the same universe, there are small nods to the various movies here and there with reoccuring names and brands that support the theory.
Same thing with Pixar, there are so many cameos, easter eggs and references all over the place in those movies that the idea isn't really that crazy either.

 

[Bestival]

There's a Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode where Buffy keeps switching between two realities, one where she's in an asylum and is being told that the whole Sunnydale/hellmouth thing is all her crazy imagination, and the normal setting of the show.

It really keeps you guessing what's real, but I'm still convinced she's actually crazy. (Very last scene of the show actually confirms that, but my friend absolutely refused to believe any of it heh.)

How does the last episode confirm it?

Oh sorry, I ment the last scene of that episode, not the last scene of the last episode.

 

[Eddy-16]

I stand by my own theory that Batman killed Harley's kid in Arkham City

 

[XMark]

oh what the hey, I'll post some My Little Pony fanon that I subscribe to:

-Princess Celestia deliberately has deliberately trolled the ponies on many occasions.
-She also does not actually control the sun, and neither does Luna control the moon.
-The pony statues in Canterlot are actually ponies who were turned to stone as punishment, much like Discord.
-Octavia is Pinkie Pie's sister.
-Appledash.

I would've said the Split timeline Theory for Legend of Zelda, but Nintendo has announced that it is canon (http://www.glitterberri.com/content/zelda_series/hyrule_historia/timeline.jpg), I really don't have anything to add

 

[Bloodstain]

I agree with the fan theory regarding Earthbound, which says that the fight against Giygas is basically an enforced abortion.
Oh, and the "You kill Gary's Rattata in the Pokémon games' first generation".

 

[bz316]

"Ferris Bueler's Day Off" all took place in Cameron's head as a means of coping with what a fucked person he was and life he had.

Also, 'Indoctrination Theory' for ME3.

all of those.. seriously.. everyone..

 

[Worgen]

In Warhammer 40K, the blessings and holy oils applied to Weapons and technology in ceremonies are actually just regular maintenance that has become sacred over time. So field stripping a lasgun or oiling the barrel of a bolter is considered a holy act, rather than actual blessings and psychic powers doing the work.

I think that one really depends on which version of 40k your talking about, early on it seemed like that was the most obvious but over the course of their rewrites they have become more and more mystical about it, like with the void dragon beneath mars and such.

 

[Vhite]

My own theory on Legend of Zelda that says that there is no Link or Zelda, but they are just placeholders for true heroes and characters of stories of past, that were long forgotten. That would also explain why continuity makes no sense because every zelda game is a different story.

 

[ramboondiea]

The theory of Jon's true parentage in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Spoiler

The theory that Rhaegar had a child with Lyanna when he abducted/took her along with him and then when Ned found Lyanna, he discovered her dying from childbirth and taking the child (Jon) back home with him, pretending that he was his bastard to keep him from danger.

If you want more information on this theory, go to http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Jon_Snow/Theories [this page]. There are just way too many things pointing to it for it to not be true at this point I think.

I have something that may shoot it down, the book is written by George R.R. Martin, who i firmly believe can only get off when he knows he made his fan suffer, I whole heartily believe the series will end with a whole mess of unexplained plot threads with no one alive to legitimately explain them! ha

mine are that Gorden freeman is a psychopath (ala Scott Ross) and not really mute, we just don't hear him. cant really say i follow fan theories all that much

 

[Dethenger]

Majora's Mask: Stone Tower of Babel Theory, [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/articles/the-stone-tower-why-termina-was-doomed/#idc-cover] which basically boils down to the Stone Tower Temple being built by ancient Terminians in affront to the female Goddesses, favouring the male Giants, and in fact as a sort of stairway to the heavens where they planned to use the power of the Giants to slay the Goddesses.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

I subscribe to SF Debris' assertion/running gag that Janeway is a crazy psychopath. Not much of a stretch, but his explanation of why Janeway is an Admeral (and a Vice Admeral at that) in Star Trek: Nemesis whereas Picard is still a Captain despite about 30 years more experience and doing more than Janeway ever did is just beautiful, and fills in loads of Plot holes in the movie.

Watch his Nemesis review as its beautiful.
