THEORY TIME!

It's been less than 24 hours since seeing movie and I have A THOUGHT.

Okay, so I love Mae's character, but she seems unlikable. And I'm not meaning to the audience, I'm talking with other characters. You see her interact with apes and a human and she seems so detached to both. Apes, we understand, but with the only human character she interacts with she still seems guarded. Sure, Trevathan did not align with her mission, but from the get go she doesn't seem to enthused that she is meeting him.

I have a theory that maybe Mae doesn't really fit in with humans. They don't let her into the bunker at the end of the movie. (Although that could be for safety reasons.) Maybe her completing this mission to help humanity is her trying to form a connection with them. Her mother is long gone and we don't really see her having any other human relationships. (Yet)

What if, in this trilogy, Mae learns she is more connected to apes than with humans? Noa and Raka are the first apes to be nice to her. Originally, she didn't want to put the Eagle Clan in danger. I truly believe she was going to help them, had the plan gone right. And she saved Soona, an ape she had just met. If she finds she cares for the apes genuinely and cares to help humans to get in their good graces, which do you think she would choose?

I hope that this story ends up being a tale if found family. Something that can answer the question if Apes and Humans can exist together.

I HAVE AN OM SHANTI OM THEORY

This may sound crazy but I need you guys to stay with me

So you know how in the movie, Om Kapoor starts to remember events from his previous life only AFTER he goes to the burnt studio?

And at the end of the movie, we realise that Shantipriya's ghost has been in the studios for the past however many years.

So what if, it was Shanti's ghost who made Om Kapoor see all those things from his past life? Like, she must've had some kind of powers as a ghost right? So what if it was because of her that Om Kapoor remembered his past life?

This also makes me think that she probably realised that she HAD in fact, fallen for Om Makhija, and that as she took her last breaths, after Mukesh came back and buried her under the jhoomar, she was thinking of her moments with Om Makhija, thinking of how he was the one that made her feel loved.

And also now I know I'm going down a spiral

But Imagine Shanti dies as she is thinking about Om, and then when she turns into a ghost, she spends all those years roaming around the studio, reminiscing in what little time she had spent with Om and hoping that Om lived his life and became a big superstar and that he might just come back to the studios but being disappointed when he doesn't. But then he does, and Shanti sees him, and realises that even though it's been so many years, Om still looks the same, and the realisation that Om died trying to save her hits her. And she wishes to meet him, but she can't, because she's a ghost, and he doesn't even remember everything. So she decides to make him remember everything. And then, then when Om remembers everything, and steps up to take revenge, she decides to become his shield of protection against Mukesh. And so everytime Mukesh is just about to catch onto Om's plans, Shanti does something that keeps Mukesh at bay, until, she realises that Om's plans probably won't work, as she knows how much of a bastard Mukesh is, and so, When Sandy is running from Mukesh, and she wounds herself, Shanti does not distract Mukesh, and then, then she kills Mukesh.

Also, the fact that as Shanti's ghost kills Mukesh and then looks at Om, tears in her eyes, perfectly aligns with my theory that Shanti realised her love towards Om only in her dying moments

As a desperate GO fan, I came up with something, and I thought you should all suffer with me.

So you remember what God said in ep. 1...

And you all remember the unconfirmed plans for a South Down's Cottage we will get in s3.

Since we know that the end of the world, the first Armageddon, was not really the end according to God's Ineffable Plan - what if the end she spoke of would also be the end of the series, in that garden, in that cottage?

What if Azi and Crowley were meant - DESTINED - to be together for eternity, after everything? According to the Ineffable Plan itself!

Deadpool and Wolverine Theory Time!🥰🥰🥰

So because James Logan Howlett will not leave my brain because of…(coughs)…reasons…

I have a theory that the Logan we (and Deadpool) fell in love with in Deadpool and Wolverine is a Logan we have met before. Remember this scene in the end credits of Deadpool 2?

And then Wade shoots his variant and tells a confused Logan about him wanting to hang up the claws but to get back in the saddle when his old buddy Wade comes back? My theory is that this Logan

Is this Logan

My theory is that when Wade killed his Wolverine Origins variant, he probably killed Stryker too giving Logan time to escape with the kids and meet Charles Xavier. Meaning Stryker never shot Logan to make him lose his memory and that’s why the Logan we meet in Deadpool and Wolverine knows he’s two hundred years old. And since the TVA doesn’t prune branched timelines anymore, these branched timelines still exist and when Wade finds Logan at the bar, it’s the same Logan he talked to, just later in his timeline. Now I just need to figure out how the Logan timeline still works because I know Logan is five years later than Deadpool and Wolverine but it’s kind of messed up to think that in five years in the 10005 universe the X Men are going to die but would Wade and the Logan we saw in Deadpool and Wolverine let that happen? Is that going to cause the incursion to bring the X Men in the MCU?

Imagine if Sonic 3 starts off with Shadow escaping Prison Island

You Remember in Sonic 2 it started off with Showing how Robotnik gets off the Mushroom Planet and introduces Knuckles

So my Theory is they’ll most likely start the 3rd movie off with either Shadow’s Backstory or him Breaking out of Containment and Escaping Prison Island

Gambit Theory

So it's 2am in the morning for me but I need to get this theory written down somewhere before I forget it.

What if Gambit wasn't born in the void like he implied but was sent there by the TVA after his brain surgery?

Cause the man got a lobotomy to reduce his power level and get his powers under control, right? Brain surgeries can cause memory loss. So the TVA could have pruned him before he could wake up in his home timeline or while he was awake but still in that limbo of not remembering what was going on

I don't know if any of this makes any sense, but the brain worms are screaming and I need sleep.

In the 2003 Movie, Holes, (its different in the book, sadly, but both book and adaptation i LOVE. also idk if this has already been pointed out but i gasped out loud when i noticed)

Sam the Onion Man dies out in the river, shot dead in his boat. I don’t think they’d bother to retrieve his body, bc unfortunately he’s a black man in the late 1890’s and the bigots who did kill him suck. 100 years later, we see his boat, the Mary Lou, dried up in the desert, when Zero hides in it. Sam’s body is probably still there.

Later, In a flashback, we see Kate Barlow (a.k.a Kissin’ Kate Barlow) die laughing laying against Sam’s boat. She’s hid her loot in the desert, and Linda and Trout Walker and all of their children will never ever find it.

But the important thing is that even if Sam and Kate Barlow died years apart, their bodies will now lie forever together, as lovers should.

Everybody has been talking about Branch's problems and anxieties (and I will probably make a post about this later too) but I think we should also talk about Poppy.

After the two movies she has gone through her own share of traumatic events like betrayal but also the fear of loosing the people she cares about. Which brings me to the point of this post: I think that after the events of the World Tour it would not be surprising if Poppy has become scared of loosing Branch.

When he self-sacrificed himself for her and jumped in front of the guitar chords, she couldn't have possibly known what would happen when he got hit by the guitar chords and after that she could not have known if it even was possible to turn him back to normal. So, now she has to worry about Branch doing stuff impulsively and without regarding his own safety if it is, in his own eyes, for the greater good or for the people he cares about.

And when she destroyed the strings, the first thing she thought and cared about was Branch. She literally threw the strings on the floor and ran to him, to make sure he was all right. Of course, it was her being worried about him and seeing how he was doing after the whole thing being a rock zombie. But maybe another reason why she ran to him so fast is that she saw he was grey again. And it was just such an impulse reaction to her seeing him like this, that she had to make sure how he was doing as soon as possible. The general consensus that I want to pull from here is: Poppy does not like seeing Branch being hurt neither physically or emotionally.

Thus, I just want to say that I think it would be pretty plausible to assume that she is scared to lose him because of his tendencies, because it almost happened before and that she isn't particularly thrilled to see him being hurt in any kind of way. I also think the way how she feels about him is actually very new to her, so she does not yet know how to deal with the many feelings she has. So, of course, it would be pretty overwhelming to see the person you love (and you possibly have not loved someone this way before) self sacrifice themselves for you. That could strengthen the fear and the trauma even more. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if she has become cautious or a little paranoid because of that.

Yeah, that are some of my speculations. I don't know if we will see something that has to do with this topic in the new movie, but it is interesting to think about the impact the last two movies left on our characters and how it could influence their actions in the third movie.

Remember when people theorized Victor and Scraps The Corpse Bride were actually Victor and Sparky from Frankenweenie? Just because they looked similar and the Victors had the same name. Then people remembered that Corpse Bride was set in the Victorian era and Frankenweenie is set in 1957.

Why I think Metal Sonic might be in the 3rd Sonic movie

(I swear I’m not just huffing copium because he’s my favorite)

Quite possibly the biggest piece of evidence I have to support my theory is this moment from the trailer, where Sonic begrudgingly gives Robotnik a quill in exchange for his help defeating Shadow.

Now we know from the previous two movies that these quills can be used to power machines, and they did just that in the past, which is why I doubt they’d make such a big deal of it if they were doing they same thing again, for example, powering the giant crab mech we see.

Which seems to be functioning before they even meet up with Robotnik and make that deal with the quill, so I don’t think that’s the case. My theory is that the quill will be used to power metal sonic.

Some additional notes, as to why i think he might be a surprise addition to the movie as opposed to any other character we haven't seen yet, like Amy for example:

- No voice work would be needed. Metal sonic doesn't speak at all in his base form, so no lines would need to be recorded, or voice actor hired

- Relatively easy to introduce as a character, since unlike most other characters he wouldn't have a backstory to be explored, and therefore wouldn't step on Shadows toes, who seems to be the main focus of the movie, trying to get enough screen time to be fleshed out as well

- this is probably my biggest reach, but he would be a good tool for an open ending. Although it hasn't been confirmed if they plan to make more movies, he would give Robotnik a leg up on Sonic to continue the plot, maybe introducing Amy since she is tied to Metal Sonic's original introduction in the games, and hopefully changing the antagonist up again, maybe seeing Neo Metal or even Metal Madness in a future movie (but this is just wishful thinking at this point 🥲)

Of course, I could still be entirely wrong, but throughout the trailer, we don’t see much of what Robotnik does to help once he has the quill. It stands to reason he probably engages in combat with that crab mech, but he also probably won’t stay on the good side the whole movie, as he does end up turning on Sonic the second he can whenever he has to team up with him in other media. Knowing him he probably has something else up his sleeve for when things go awry…

Oh...

Wouldn't it be so messed up if Mae's mom was one of the primitive humans and the humans she's helping tried to produce more children who could talk? So they try to cross breed the smart humans with the primitive humans and Mae is born. And thats why she says her mother taught her silence and why she had such a visceral reaction to seeing the hord of primitive humans. Wouldn't that be messed up?

the truman show is one of the only movies that i can never stop thinking and theorizing about years after watching them.

like, truman didn’t have a real choice at the end. everything he knew was a lie. there was no way he could go back to his life. the illusion would‘ve ended, it wouldn’t be a 'real' reality show anymore.

and i always wonder how he started living in the real world. the world he knew was the 'american dream' with no conflict, how did he react to seeing what goes on in the real world? it would be a completely different reality for him. bro didn’t even know the moon existed. i‘m curious what he learned at school. did he even learn about the solar system? what kind of history was he taught? i‘m so curious about his beliefs about the world, whether he was taught about a god etc.. seeing the moon and the stars for the first time at 30 must be an experience

his life after escaping the set must’ve been exhausting. pretty much everyone around the world knew him, he was probably getting harassed by reporters or those ultra fans we saw in the movie daily. how did he find an apartment? did he find a new job?

i am kinda convinced he would’ve fallen into depression or drugs after escaping to cope with everything. it‘s like his life was doomed from the start, from the moment christof decided to exploit his life for his own profit.

This might just be the theory ever

[jurassicsickfics]

Ok here I go defending the villain again lol. But seriously hear me out. Sure Cal was a jerk and treated Rose horribly but...this look doesn't look angry to me. This looks genuinely upset like low-key looks like he's going to cry...like...please tell me someone else sees it

Frozen Theory: Why Hans thought he had a shot at ruling Arendelle alone if Elsa and Anna died

Hans' plan to off both Frozen sisters so he can have the throne to himself has always struck me as odd. Given that he seems to be just a random prince from another kingdom and has at least 12 other people in line for the throne before him, his best shot at power would be to marry into the throne somewhere and be a consort to a queen regnant, as Hans isn't an independent ruler. He doesn't even bring guards with him to a foreign country so I doubt this man can just raise an army and go take Arendelle by force.

But his plan just doesn't make sense, if he kills Elsa and Anna then the throne wouldn't automatically go to him, it would go to their closest living relative. The ambassadors looked to Hans as a leader, and the local guards took orders from him in the confusion, but he had no real right to rule there. Unless of course, he's related to Anna and Elsa. Obviously in this case he would have known he would be in line to inherit if both sisters kicked the bucket, but given how secretive Agnarr and Iduna were with his daughters about oh I don't know, ICE POWERS, and their own mother's heritage, I doubt the girls would've met with any extended family to get to know any cousins.

I think given that Hans has 12 older brothers and is apparently the youngest at 23, his parent's ages would probably be more in the age group of King Runeard. It's totally a possibility that Runeard had a sister who married the king of the Southern Isles and Hans is Anna and Elsa's cousin, but they don't know because Agnarr never told them they had cousins living in the Southern Isles.

Also, take a look at King Runeard and Hans for a moment

They both have red hair and green eyes, both have a long jaw, and even their body types are kind of similar, Hans being slimmer of course, but remember that Hans is 23 and King Runeard's age is unknown, but he's likely in his early 40s at the youngest. Being that he was a warrior, it would make sense for him to be bulkier. But still though, what about the 12 older brothers? Surely they would be in line for the throne of Arendelle if Anna and Elsa kicked the bucket? Yeah actually, even if they were all married and had their own thing going on, they would still be more in line for the throne than Hans would be if we're going by conventional rules of throne inheritance.

This means that when an ambassador at the end of the movie throws out the line "I will return this scoundrel to his country. We shall see what his 12 big brothers think of his behavior" he's implying that Hans is probably going to be in a world of trouble for trying to overthrow an ally and murder kin, as even though kings of the past have killed close kin, it was still considered taboo. Plus, I'm sure his parents wouldn't take so kindly to him trying to murder his way into Arendelle instead of being the good little marriage pawn he was supposed to be.

Book of Life theory:General Posada and Joaquin deleted “scenes” 

After scrolling through Gorge Gutierrez’s Tumblr blog mexopolis like a totally normal person would guys Im normal I promise,I stumbled upon this thread of Book of Life related designs and scrapped ideas. What caught my attention however,were two rough sketches of young Joaquin- an older kid and a teenager-interacting with General Posada:

These two shots seemingly take place during the music cutscene depicting Manolo and Joaquin growing up.On both of these pictures we can see Joaquin looking self-assured,smug even.Meanwhile Maria’s father has either guarded or concerned face,seemingly because of Joaquin. The shot on the left demonstrates it the best- here Mondragon Jr is training with a mannequin,while Posada tries to guide the boys hand with his,as if to show him the move.General has a displeased expression,but teenage Joaquin has pretty much the “I’m better then you old man” look. These scenes are interesting in a way that in the original movie,we never see General Posada being annoyed with Joaquin,thinking of him as “a son he never had”(he sure does love Maria).So this change in their relationship may have several reasons:

1)Posada started suspecting something was up with Joaquin’s strength that seemingly came out of nowhere.Not knowing about the Medal of Everlasting Life,Maria’s father expressions can be interpreted as a sign of distrust.Perhaps the fact that Captain Mondragon went mad from the medal and chopped off General’s arm(as it was stated in trivia of character wiki) would’ve played a role in it.

2)General felt threatened by Joaquin’s skills.From the movie we know that Posada is quite an arrogant person who rarely listens to others.That is why these scenes can depict General Posada fearing that Joaquin will continue climbing up the hierarchical ladder until the latter takes his position.

Now here comes the most interesting part:the audience knows that General has a few soldiers who are supposed to guard San Angel,but are in fact useless. Why didn't Maria's father assign Joaquim to defend the city with his unit instead of forcing him to stay in San Angel by marrying his daughter? I speculate that the deleted cut of the movie has an answer for that.Keeping the reasons listed above,it is possible that General let Joaquin defend other cities from bandits on purpose,to keep the latter away from him because of uneasiness/jealousy.Only after the bandito’s attacks became more frequent,General decided to use Maria (because let’s be frank,there’s no better word for it)  as an anchor for his best soldier.
