Forgot the one where Jack actually survived the Titanic and went on to change his identity to one Jay Gatsby, complete with a never quite explained fear of water.
Holy Frak... the Grease "Sandy is Dying" makes COMPLETE SENSE.Was always curious about the car flying off into the sky ending... but man, that nails it.And makes the movie even better.
+Larry Wolf Maybe he knew he had to die to not corrupt the timestream and that's why he chose to freeze himself rather than climb onto the debris that clearly had enough room to support him?
+Tim Burgener or maybe from the timeline he came from, the ship never sinked. Because of he saved Rose from killing herself, it causes a chain reaction that leads to the tragedy
I had my own theory about the television show, Murder She Wrote. Each episode more or less followed this pattern: A world-famous murder mystery writer is in the area where someone has been killed. Sometimes on her own, sometimes working with the police, this writer appears to solve the crime. She points the finger at the alleged perpetrator who is taken into custody. Another happy ending. BUT what if this woman was in fact a serial killer who had the extra thrill of casting the blame for her acts on an innocent person? I mean, where ever she went, someone was killed. It makes sense, doesn't it?
With Inception..... Christopher Nolan explained that having the totum continue to spin when the movie cuts out isn't for the viewer to wonder if he's still dreaming or if he's actually in reality, it is to show the Leo does not care if he is or not, he's just happy to finally see his kids. #funfact for you
there's another theory that goes along with that one where sean connery's character from the movie the rock is the same as his james bond character and that john mason is his real name. both were born in scotland...both worked for british secret intelligence....mason was captured stealing secrets around the same time he stopped playing bond...
The Bond one does fit perfectly, until the events of Skyfall where they showed his parent's graves and his family name is Bond. Now, MI6 could have changed the tombstones (and the engraving on his dad's shotgun) or it could just be coincidence that he happens to have the last name Bond, but I am pissed at Skyfall for doing that because I had always believed that 007 and James Bond were code names and not the representation of a single person.
Actually, Skyfall is not really a problem. The Daniel Craig movies are not linked to the previous ones as Casino Royale is a reboot of the James Bond universe (as it is told on the Casino Royale's wikipedia page). They are two movies saga : the one from 1962 to 2002 and the one that started in 2006. That is also why Spectre is so similar to From Russia with Love.
My friend has a pretty bonkers theory to go along with this that in order to get their agents up to the '007-calibre,' MI6 puts designated agents through a brainwashing program thing to pass on the memories and experience of past Bonds, and the fact that each Bond is different from each other is a sign that the process isn't perfect and that's the original agent's personalities coming through again.

Some decent theories, but I always have to roll my eyes whenever someone suggests 'oh it's all a dying dream' or 'oh, they're just crazy/hallucinating.' I can't think of a story where someone hasn't thrown that out. I admit, I had never heard #1.
I always think of the films and book as being two different universes of the same story, where continuity is always going to be different in either one. Fiction always has these weird plot holes. For the books, maybe bond just secretly lives a reeealy long time like a super human (because the rest of the things that happen are no more sane or logical) and always has plastic surgery every now and then. Maybe this could be transferred over to the films too.
+Amaranthus616 Not possible. There is a remark about the death of Bond's wife in one of the Daniel Craig films, James Bond was, however, never married in the Daniel Craig era and he only ever married once during George Lazenby's 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service.'
And then there is the theory that Andy's parents got divorce, the mother took the kids and move out, and that's why they got a dog so Andy wouldn't feel sad.
The Star Wars one is one of the more plausible theories. Humans wouldn't exist in another galaxy, a long time ago. THAT doesn't make sense. And, the evidence given for them being bugs is logical.
a long time ago usually refers to anytime in our past and in fairy tales and stuff it means medieval times, so star wars is in medevil times. as for humans being there well a worm whole or even star wars time travel works
Ok but because that kid from E.T is dressed as Yoda for Halloween... That means the kid has seen Star Wars.... So the the Star Wars films exist in the ET universe then the ET universe is real life... And if the ET universe is our universe... That means Star Wars is in out universe... And I can become the Sith I was always destined to be!
All these fan theories that describe how the whole story is just a dream inside the protagonists head.... you can say that about every fictional movie, book, story whatever
well, not really. sure, you can do that with any movie, but it ruins most of them. for example, there were theories that the Harry Potter universe was just a dream in harry's head and in the end he would wake up in his shitty life. he just dreamed of a life better than the one he had. that would be awful there was not a single hint in all 8 movies or 7 books. What im trying to say is, you need the hints, imagery and simbolism so that your theory doesnt seem far fetched. if you just end a perfectly normal movie with "and then he woke up. it was all but a dream" your ending is shit
I really really like that. the one with Jack being a time traveler going back in time to Titanic that was pretty interesting. I was a kid when the first Toy Story come out and I was wondering why his hat was different than Woody's it gives me an explanation to it now. the one about ET I heard that before about him being a Jedi. probably around the time Star Wars the Force awakens come out everyone was doing videos on it even vaguely remembering seeing the Little ET guys in the ring done Star Wars movies episode 1 through 3. but very very cool many more fan theories out there could explain many other things.
+Sean Dodson Heh, The One Above All is an actual Marvel character. Said to be Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omniversal, above all cosmic powers and abstract entities, also said to be "the entity believed to be the supreme being/creator of the Omniverse", in other words, "the author" who has supreme reign over their comic book multiverse, and that pretty much means "Stan Lee".
Titanic - a much better fan theory that actually makes sense is that Jack didn't exist, Rose made him up. It explains the errors and explains the over-the-top elements and why there are no records of Jack.
+praisethecow i don't know which movies exactly, but once bond had a girlfriend that stayed until the next movie but the actor changed... so that would talk against the theory
Except their marriage to Tracy rules it out completely. Unless they all married women with the same name and those chronoogically later also had all their Tracy's die then they have to be the same person. There are also references to the previous actors films like their stuff laying around or someone recognizing kit from previous actors' adventures. They also all have the same background, parents, personality, rank, friendships, and taste in martinis.
+Malachiore Hmmmmmm......damn. I forgot about all that other stuff. Unless......all of that (background, preferences etc) are PART OF THE COVER. That is the "007 background". Or am i talking in circles ? (like when i think too hard about the Terminator 1 and 2 and ever-ending loop of john and sarah conner!)
+JohnBoyAdvance So... in all seriousness if Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan (Notice how Q ages and retires) and Craig (!) are all the same Bond. How is Idris Elba meant to be him? (NOTE: I'm not actually against Mr Elba being Bond. At all. But... its a fucking code name guys.)
Well, the 007 one, the Grease one, the Toy Story one and the E.T. one are true I reckon. They weren't just properly explained in the movies but were somehow confirmed. The Inception one was indeed explained from the director Nolan, he said that the point is not to understand whether he's in a dream or not, but that the real world is the one we think is real because we make it legit for us (and so does Cobb at the end of the movie). The Pixar one is just a smart theory that nobody working at Pixar wants to talk about officially and the rest of it is mere bullshit.
You forgot Snow White. The apple was regular poison and she dies at the end. The prince never woke her, that was just a death dream. The way she leaves saying goodbye to each dwarf and then riding up into a shining castle in the sky.. It all represents her passing away. and going to heaven.
The thing about James Bond is that he seems to think he is all one person... My theory, is that they clockework orange a person into literally believing he is james bond.
1:28 Stan Lee isn't The Watcher but is One Above All. The Watcher shows up in his normal form, but One Above All changes his appearance like Stan Lee did in his cameos. One Above All is also shown as an artist and is considered to be the authors of the MCU.
One of my favorites is Film Theory's idea that Agent Smith is the One and not Neo in the Matrix movies. It actually changes the entire narrative once they break it down. It's pretty legit.
The actor who played Marcellus has the band aid on the back of his neck for an unrelated reason, and Tarantino decided to go with it. But I wish the theory was true
Star Wars is about bugs? That explains Snoke. He's a snake. Snakes are way more powerful than bugs. And he's a hologram right? That's his shed skin. It all makes sense now.
I've got a few: The Neverending Story is about a boy having breaks with reality, being locked in a mental institute. Land Before Time: A giant allegory for the garden of Eden.
Andy's Mom theory makes good sense in that she might simply misremember giving her childhood toy away so it's no great surprise when it shows up one day. "Huh, I thought I gave that away... guess not!"
Anybody who comes up with a "fan theory" that movie, video game, TV show or story X is actually a coma dream needs to have their internet privileges revoked.
I get the point you're making, but it's not the whole movie - it's just that there's a twist within the movie. With Grease, it makes total sense that the first part of the movie was real, but the second part (the one with people randomly bursting into song and a car flying off) is a coma dream. It actually makes MORE sense than the actual movie.
+James R The most unoriginal idea ever. Can be imposed on every single single that exists. What if they're in a coma. What if it's all just a dream. What if they're all dead and they're in a limbo just imagining it all. It fills the gaps, 'cause you can find gaps everywhere if you look hard enough. Same in real life, if you don't understand something you can say that it's all in your mind, or God did it. Then think you're a ploughing genius. What happened to the good old "movie magic"? Does everything have to make complete sense in our real-life standards? Do people not have imagination left anymore? Or respect for aesthetics or our famous movie magic?
Potter fan theory that i like: Ron died in the chamber of secrets. Harry has guilt fueled delusions that he's still around. Hermione is a lonely spinster forever (or at least until her early 30's). Ron's continued presence can be explained by interactions with Neville, who harry uses as a 1 to 1 replacement, and magic (mostly from Hermione who knows Harry's crazy but feels bad for him).
Marinade21 what about that time in OHMSS where lazenby bond looks over things from previous missions and reminisces about them, if the code name theory is correct then he would never have done thoes missions and not have the objects to remenis about. What about the blofeld trillogy where connery bond is hunting down blofeld because he killed his wife, if the code name theory was correct he would have no reason to do that because his wife would never have died what about in for your eyes only where moore bond puts flowers on traceys grave, if the codename theory was correct then why would he put flowers on a grave of someone he never met who was married to an agent he never met? Also from that movie he fights blofeld and blofeld recognizes him as bond even though, if the codename theory is correct, they never had dealings with each other so he wouldnt know who roger moore is. what about in licence to kill where leighter mentions to della how bond used to be married and it was implied that it ended tragically. bit of a coincidence 2 different bonds had 2 equally tragic marriages. if the codename thoery was correct that would never have been written like that what about in skyfall where we LITERALLY see bonds parents names on their graves, and guess what, they are called bond. and how about in the same movie where kinkade recognized bond from being a kid and knew him as james bond, YEARS before he would ever be that if the codename theory was correct. See so if you actulaly bother to pay attention to the movies it is BLATANTLY obvious the codename theroy is WRONG!
AmazingJoe96 Yes, I am aware of all that. Doesn't change what I said. Only explanation that leaves less plot holes than a code name is he's a Time Lord. Otherwise, he's just an immortal prick that likes to get drunk and shoot at bad guys in crowded public places. Whose womanising nearly compromises most missions he goes on.
6:20 We also realized, at the time, that ET rather looks like Yoda sans the ears. Also, seeing that some kid was wearing a Yoda mask, and ET recognized the likeness of Yoda's kind - and of course, the appearance of ET's in the Star Wars prequels - not only suggest that ET and Star Wars are in the same universe, but that there is also a Star Wars film franchise in this universe - which might suggest the possibility of George Lucas having been kidnapped by aliens, taken to that far-away galaxy, seeing all those aliens and epic space battles, escaping back to Earth and then thinking to himself 'This would make a great movie!'
That ET story would make more sense if Star Wars merchandise wasn't present everywhere. ET is really just a christ figure. Seriously. He works miracles, he comes back from the dead and you know that famous picture of seeing Christ's heart inside his chest? Yeah, ET has that. There's even a moment when he rises from the dead wearing a "robe" while you can see his heart inside his chest. There's even a moment after he dies where Elliot says "I love you" and "I'll always believe in you".
You're so great, I love this channel. The content, the editing, the comedy, that snarky British accent that we Americans adore so much. It's like a perfect package all rolled into one.
People have mentioned the fact that we see his parents' graves. When Tracy from On Her Majejsty's Secret Service marries Bond and then is killed by Blofeld, in a later film James bond goes to her grave and it says "Tracy Bond" on it. Though it would make sense, originally this was not the case. James Bond was his name. You wouldn't put your code name on the gravestone of your dead wife :D
Judy Dench complicates it more than you think. She was 007's boss in Daltons era, but then gives Craig his 00 status Maybe it ties into the MIB, they join MI6 get neuralized and told that they are James Bond so that they feel an attachment to everything that the previous ones do. The CIA do it the films too, Felix Leiter has been played by various people as well
I do like the theory Donnie from the Big the Lebowski only exists in Walter's mind and isn't actually there. It's kind of undone by The Dude saying "Thank-you Donnie" when Donnie tells him the phone is ringing, but it's a fun theory anyway. As I recall, it's the only time the Dude addresses in the entire movie, though. I guess one could explain it away because Dude has come to accept the imaginary Donnie, and Donnie is pointing out something obvious, so Dude just reacts to no one.
The James Bond "theory" is the realest one on the list. I mean think about it, being a spy is a dangerous job. So each "James Bond" either dies or retires. It's honestly the best way to explain the changing faces, and personalities, of James Bond
Ok, it took me a second to understand it, but seeing a scary clown inside a giant pair of underpants, and the line "Here's it in brief" made me laugh harder than I should have XD
remember telling my first wife about the james bond thing. its the only way things make sense. like how none of the villains recognize or associate the james bond name to the person they meet at first.
CNG (109) I think so, for starters it is definitely not the same world as the one seen in Toy Story, Ratatuille, etc., cuz is a world were dinosaurs didnt extinguished by the meteorite, and there is no dinosaur in those other worlds
+Luppercus maybe we're getting into the stages of explaining where things get changed up or we think differently. I'll have to look into the timeline again because I don't know all of it by heart but we might have to put this aside for a later movie to pick up on
The James Bond one fits with the changes in actors: Connery is there from Dr No to You only Live Twice, then retires. Lazenby takes over (OHMSS), gets married, she's murdered, he's broken. Connery comes back to fill in and get revenge on Blofeld (who he failed to kill before retiring making him responsible), then goes back into retirement. Moore comes in as the new Bond, and his first mission (Live and Let Die) is about drug smuggling (hardly the usual end of the world stuff). He eventually retires, and Dalton takes over. He doesn't last long before going rogue (Licence to Kill) so in comes Brosnan. He suffers a long-term injury (The World is Not Enough) which he manages to cover up, but is then captured and tortured and suspected of having broken (Die Another Day) so he retires (with a cache of diamonds...) which brings us to Daniel Craig. All the way through Casino Royale it is repeated that he is a brand-new 007.
I'm sorry but who the fuck uses thier real name when they become a spy. Who thought James Bonds names was his real name. Why would you use ur real name of you were a spy.
WhatCulture; I really like the connections you're bringing together, it's like knitting a sweater, and you just keep knitting, aand knitting, aaand knnittinggg....
The Pixar Theory is correct,but they keep on making that same damn mistake in that they include that dreadful CARS shit...they are not a part of The Pixar Theory,they are a part of the collection of our worst cinema fears and very lame dreams.Therefore not a part of the fun Pixar Theory.Just NO!
+Sammy Lane actually Cars does fix well in the Pixar Theory whilst The Incredibles does not (there is no indication of super powered humans in any other pixar movie) meanwhile the idea that machines once rule the entire earth it is consistent with what is said on Wall-E. You can exclude a movie from the theory just because is bad
+JoyfullJuneBug I believe I've seen some theories that Lucas wanted to make Jar Jar a sith lord, but the universal ridicule of the character sent him to the story sidelines..ergo Count Dooku was created for episode 2..just a theory..
The James Bond being a code name was actually brought up in the 90s as there were rumblings that there was going to be a film featuring ALL the (then cast) Bonds from Connery to Brosnan (David Nivan doesn't count as a separate franchise). They would all team up and as per usual... save the world. This is why it was OK for Bond to be blond (Daniel Craig) and even potentially black (Idris Elba).
I love that the Uatu theory got so much hype that Marvel actually made it a thing. A great homage to the creator of so many characters that bring us joy today. RIP Stan Lee, you will be missed but never forgotten and your legacy is the countless hours of enjoyment that you gave the world.
+Simon Van Liew Well if a character in the Star Wars universe is capable of levitation and healing and does not have evil motives, what else would he be?
+Tom Williams Productions It made sense until the Daniel Craig bond films where it's asserted that James Bond is his actual birth name. I feel like they kinda shot themselves in the foot with that.
+Xeno Monkey Maybe he's the "first" Bond, and for some reason MI6 thought "You know what's a great spy idea? Make every 007 use this guys name! If they think he's an immortal killing machine, it will be a great help to his missions! Right? Right!? But yeah, it being Craig's Bond's birth name topedos this theory.
Pixar and Roseanne also take place in the same universe: Andy is the son of both Laurie Metcalfe characters, Jackie Harris and "Emily". When Jackie is in the delivery room before giving birth, we find out from her mother Bev that "Jackie" came from Roseanne's childhood mispronunciation of "Marjorie", My Jackie. this was shortened to simply Jackie, and the name stuck. Not too different than a "Margaret/Peggy" change or other nicknames a person may go by. (My grandmother told us a similar story about my mother and her sister years before the show was on the air, with mom shortening "Deanna" to "Nan", despite being 8yo. There is also a common family name on dad's side that I thankfully did not get saddled with.) also, John Goodman stars in both as Dan Conner and James P "Sully" Sullivan in the Monsters Inc/U movies. This theory also opens up the "snow globe": knowyourmeme.com/memes/tommy-westphalls-universe Titanic - Jack's future knowledge is explained as he is a young Jack Harkness, and Rose is Rose Tyler's (great)grandmother. Jack ensures she survives so that Rose can live, become Bad Wolf, and make him immortal so that he will become the Face of Boe. oh, and both get to work with a post-Time War Doctor, setting him on his right path, too.
+Lesbiwolf92 As long as they're not saying this is actually a post-apocalyptic world when it's not, or one of few choices people seem to pick from for these theories. Seriously just watch some of these types of videos and tell me you don't see a pattern too.
I sat through a few of those top 10-15 fan theories/creepypasta lists and most of them are either "they were actually all DEAD!!!" or someone is in a coma for some reason. Pokemon, Adventure time, Rugrats, Ed, Edd and Eddy, Homer after the Duff beer, Spongebob, MLP and that is all off the top of my head at the moment.
I suppose it is the same with the overly gore-tastic ones. I think they assume copious trauma and gore will be really shocking and disturbing. At least these weren't hyper realistic fan theories.
As a mortal, the knowledge of your impending end must be expressed through various formats in order to deal with the harsh reality that you are marching inexorably towards death
Also in James Bond movies, two other characters were played by different people. There was "M" who was the head of the agency, and "Q" who was in charge of the special spy devices.
Funny thing about that "Bond tells his name way too often": in Ian Fleming's original books (and also in books written later by other people), that the first movies and Casino Royale were based on, Bond has several fake names, and he uses them too. That just doesn't help much, because other "Scret Services" have descriptions of him in their archives. And for some reason someone in the books always manages to find out who Bond actually is and he almost dies... But actually, at least in one John Gardner's Bond-books, is mentioned that the British Secret Service actually has some "rules" about cover names: never use Smith, Jones, Green, or Brown, as your last name. Bond (who in that book uses name "Mr. Boldman") teaches it to an East-German girl. Also in books Bond's always described as tall man with blue eyes and black hair, with scars covering most of his body. Even though first of the original books happen in 1950s, and some books by other people even happen in early 21st century, if there's a need to describe how Bond looks, that's how he looks, and it hasn't changed much in books. But for some reason, in movies Bond never seems to have a fake identity to use. Of course, movies can't keep the same actor forever, because Bond is a fictional character and is forever young enough to be physically strong enough for his jobs but old enough to be experienced and skilled in his job, when real people get old and can't be good-looking and be the Bond forever. And that's the only thing why the character's look in the movie changes
Stan Lee's characters in the Marvel movies are actually Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap. He never leaped home, got old, and is leaping into their lives to right what once went wrong.
