Fan theories you firmly believe in

[Johnny Impact]

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.

Hadn't heard that one yet. I like it. I was annoyed not by the retirement but by the fact that it seemed a happy one.

Spoiler: My favorites are:

1) Chewbacca and R2-D2 were the Rebellion's top agents.
2) The "real world" in the Matrix trilogy is just another level of program.

One that I subscribe to that many don't is about Donnie Darko:

Spoiler

That Donnie Darko is merely about a child who's stopped taking his medicine and is a vivid display of his schizophrenia running rampant. No actual time travel takes place and everything that happens after the original fall of the engine is merely a last second hallucination of his mind before it goes dark.

Seeing as how both Nolan and Bale have both said this is their last movie and I think another reboot is already on the drawing board, I think you're safe to continue believing in your theory.

I believe that the briefcase being searched for in Pulp Fiction holds the diamonds from the Reservoir Dogs heist. Originally the briefcase in PF was going to use diamonds, but this was changed to avoid similarities to the previous film, and there are two characters named 'Vega' who were originally going to be brothers (and Tarantino has never conclusively stated that they ain't) This is tied in to another theory that they actually take place either on the same day or very very close to each other.

I do not, categorically and completely, believe that there is a special dormitory for Head Boys and Girls in Hogwarts that Dumbledore uses to set up students who have feelings for each other but won't admit it. I waver on the 'Lupin is obsessed with chocolate' thing. While I don't think it has special significance, he does say that it helps with bad feelings and he does seem to be depressed a lot of the time, so maybe he turns to it for comfort. There's a couple of other smaller things I usually accept as canon as well, but nothing major.

In Merlin I like the fanon that Merlin and Morgana have a little bit of chemistry, but that's mostly from the way the two actors play it rather than anything else.

I obviously think that Sheldon from TBBT have some form of autism/Aspergers. He has almost every single sign for gods' sake!

I accept most of what The Last Days of Foxhound says, even a lot of the stuff proved untrue by canon, just because I enjoy TLDOF more than I enjoy MGS.

I assume that Ron Stoppable's Actuary father set up an account to deal with his massive Bueno Nacho welath.

I do tenuously hold to the theory that Azula has raped or attempted or wanted to rape several character in A:TLA

I believe quite a few Teen Titans theories. Beast Boy and Raven have some sort of feelings for each other, Jump City is called 'Jump City' and is located in California, Robin is an insomniac and Dick Grayson, Raven was on her period during the movie...

I like fanon. It's fun.

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.

I have one thing that disproves that, for me anyway, and spoilers up now for the dark knight rises incase anyones reading this, dont know how to spoiler tag things sorry!

Anyway, when alfred saw bruce sitting at the table, selina was the woman he was sitting with, at no point during the film did alfred see selin, and if he had seen her he deffinitly never knew that bruce and her were interested in on another, so why imagine the two of them together?

OT. the 007 thing but thats already been said...yeah...i got nothing.

 

[IamQ]

I haven't gotten any in mind at the moment, so I'll just go with the easy one and say that Rainbow Dash is a bisexual.

 

[Disaster Button]

There's one regarding the origins of the Battlecast Skins in League of Legends that I firmly believe in.

http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/xmuqc/viktor_is_the_creator_of_the_battlecast/

I hope that it amounts to some kind of story event between Pulsefire (The Resistance) and the Battlecast Army.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Note that this is fan made.


That Jek Porkins knocked Greedo when he tripped. Han didn't shoot first, Greedo did but Porkins intended or not saved Han.

Captcha: More better.

Star Wars totally would of been if this happened, so I substitute Star Wars reality and believe in my own.

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

I believe the fan theory that in Skyrim the whole arrow to the knee thing that every guard says is them making fun of one particular guard. Let's call him Bob for the sake of the post. Bob got shot in the knee with an arrow and when he recovered he used his knee injury as an excuse to ignore his duty on multiple occasions, now in response all of his fellow guardsmen make fun of him by reciting his excuse over and over gain.

I also like the idea that the main character from Oblivion is the new Sheogorath we see in Skyrim, as he makes specific references to events that only the Hero of Cyrodiil could have possibly experienced first hand. Besides I think it makes things cheerier as the former Sheogorath got removed from his post like he had wanted and for the first time in the Elder Scrolls series two protagonists get to meet face to face.

I like the James Bond is a codename theory as people have pointed out, it allows the Cold War era stories to still be canon.

I like the idea that the Clone Wars cartoons are a type of Republic propaganda to boost morale during the era of Luke's command over the New Republic. Luke gets to paint his father's exploits in a more positive light and turn him into a tragic hero in the eyes of the public.

I prefer the single time line theory for The Legend of Zelda, it makes the story far more coherent with what little continuity there is. I really wish Nintendo would make this idea canon.

I believe the Captchas are a blessing in disguise, they give you a second chance to look at your post carefully before you upload it to the forum. Occasionally they are evil as they interrupt an already well thought out post. Sometimes I think even read your mind as they relate to what you were saying. They truly are a double edged sword.

 

[TheKaduflyerSystem]

Most of the time I'm not a fan of Fan Theories, normally because they're silly, against Lore, or just...Kinda...Wrong. So I personally like to avoid fan fiction.

BUT I will say that Brad Vickers (If you don't know, look at my avatar, if you still don't go cry) was actually a secret badass, with the logic behind that being HE'S CALLED BRAD. Yeah, counter me now...

 

[CAMDAWG]

Spoiler: Game of Thrones

while this theory is an interesting one, hasn't it been mentioned several times in the books that Jon looks an awful lot like Ned Stark? Thats one of the reasons that Cat hates him so much right? Also, in the books, all of their other children are redheads, right? Except Jon and Arya. If he really were Rhaegars son, he'd be silver haired, wouldn't he?

It is definitely said that he looks more like a stark, many, many times. But it's also said that he looks a lot like Arya, and that she

Spoiler

Looks just like Lyanna, and they both apparently have faces like a horse. She also thinks at one point that she's a bastard as well. So that doesn't rule it out. As for the silver hair, yeah, all the targaryens mentioned have silver hair (I'm pretty sure), but most of them were the children of brother/sister/cousin marriages, and if you go with modern genetics, blond hair is mainly recessive, so a brown haired mother could definitely give birth to a brown haired baby. Then again, this is a fantasy world, so that may not hold.

While it's far from confirmed, it's certainly not ruled out. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Martin read all that, said "LOL suck it guys" and made it the fisherman's wife from manderley's story, that no one cares about.

Even so, when reading through the books, you definitely get a feeling that there's more to Rhaegar and Lyanna than characters relay. I'm just waiting for Howland reed to poke his head out of the swamps and clear up all the mess.

 

[Master_of_Oldskool]

I believe that the Slender Man Mythos takes place in the same universe as Doctor Who, to the point that, when discussing it with other fans, I sometimes forget that that isn't accepted canon. Not that the mythos actually has canon...

My friends and I also have a few in-jokes about the Buffyverse that have come to be our version of accepted canon, in a sense. We understand that these things aren't true so far as the creators of the show are concerned, but in any discussion about it, we're all running on the assumption that:

*Giles is secretly a massive pervert. At any given time he's usually hanging out in the background, ogling people.

*Wesley Wyndam-Pryce is the Buffyverse equivalent of Chuck Norris. Any and all undesirable situations can be solved by having Wesley glare at them long enough.

*Spike enjoys throwing himself off of buildings to remind himself he's immortal.

*Drusilla has re-made the Gem of Amarra specifically for the purpose of standing on rooftops all day and glitterbombing people.

*Angel stores his emotions in a fanny pack. If he needs to react to something, he grabs one at random and flings it at the nearest person.

*Knox's real name is Adolf Shitsatan III, and he enjoys shooting skeet with kittens in place of clay pigeons.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Spoiler: Code Geass R2 theory

I read this theory that Lelouch survive in the end of the series since he had become immortal like C.C. The theory was sound as it explain why he would be alive so I choose to believe it (before you asked, I hated the ending well how it had turned out).

As far as I know, that's not a fan theory, that's confirmed.


As for me, the theory in Heroes that Sylar took Eden McCain's power (even though Tim Kring apparently denied it). He knew she had a power, he killed her, and he and Peter both sound like they use it at times. I also think that God exists in the Heroes universe, partly because I don't like the stupid biology explanations and partly because of all the destiny stuff.

 

[Bernzz]

The Retelling Theory for The Legend of Zelda. it just doesn't make sense for the series to have any kind of actual plotline, and since all of the games are so similar (get boomerang, obtain Triforce), it's safe to assume that each adventure is a mere variation of the original one. Stuff like Vaati, Gorons, and the concept of the Triforce all got tacked on later.

Definitely agree.

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.

Who all happen to be incredibly horny?

But in all seriousness, I agree there too.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

Harry Potter is NOT the chosen one. That's the Fan theory I like. Neville Longbottom is as the prophecy could have been about either of them (Parents escaped Voldemort 3 times, killed in front of him on a specific date, have a special ability {Neville is REALLY REALLY good at botany}, treated as an equal by Voldemort (when he steps forward to face them at the end. In the film Voldemorts all like "***** please" but really he was all like "and an intelligent FELLOW wizard joins us" and etc etc). Also he kills the shit out of the Snake which is technically Voldemorts last horcrux. So yeah.

Twisted Metal Black is all happening in Sweet Tooth's head. There's a lot of stuff on this but the jist of it is: Minion's codes boil down to say what I've just stated, why is it so different to the other games? Newspapers would never have photos that graphic. Why is his curse real and yet so little of the other stuff has any magic involved?

EDIT: I feel like I should weigh in here:

The only problem with that is that Dick Grayson* is the Robin who becomes Nightwing, not this new guy.

[
But since Nolan's Robin is an amalgamation of various other robins and not Dick Grayson.
He can't be Nightwing. At least not the existing Nightwing.

Is that your point? That Batman can be dead because there's a Robin in play (But not Dick Grayson).

my point is that since the nolan robin is a collection of various robins, he might skip the robin step and become the closest thing to batman: nightwing.

so we may not see another batman movie but a robin/nightwing spin off in the future.

A Robin/Nightwing spin-off would be sweet but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't skip the Robin step as Nightwing isn't as well known. Furthermore, Dick Grayson assumes the mantle of Batman at various times so even if Bruce Wayne is dead (I personally believe he isn't) Batman can still exist. This would allow them to have a less depressing Batman like in Morrison and Quitely's Batman and Robin (post Final Crisis, pre Return of Bruce Wayne) series. I believe the Bruce Wayne survived and agree with the idea that the whole 5 seconds thing was a bit of editing trickery to make it more tense when the thing exploded.

However as we're not getting another Nolanverse Batman film I'm going to say that it's unlikely that the whole Robin thing was anything other then a tip of the hat to comic book fans. Which is disappointing since I did like Blake as a character, he was lovely. Instead I'm thinking we'll probably see a Batman reboot which is actually a Batman/Robin start film (no more Birth of Batman stuff PLEASE) which will have Dick Grayson but more likely focus on him slightly older (kinda Red Robin age but not yet Nightwing, think about 15/16) than the original Robin. At least thats something I'd hope for. Because Dick Grayson is amazing. And cuz I don't want him to immediately become Nightwing so they can save him being fired/quitting being Robin for the end of a film as a set up for a Nightwing: Year One movie. But that's just me.

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
