I like Farmer’s take that Tarzan and most of the heroes of action literature of that era were related. And they got their various powers from a meteorite.
Kevin from Home Alone grew up to be Jigsaw from Saw.
OMGosh, that must mean that Elaine ruined one of her boyfriends so badly that after he finally passed his licensing exams (due to Elaine withholding sex), he stopped being a doctor, gave it up and moved to Albequerque, where he changed his name to Jimmy, then Saul, and became a lawyer instead. This is one deep rabbit hole.
My theory is that since Oz is surrounded by desert, it’s somewhere in Australia.
It’s the same James Bond all right. He’s just a Time Lord.
This. It explains so much. Had any of the rumors about Idris Elba being the next Bond been true (too late; he’s too old), it would have been the perfect time to deftly weave this bit into the mythos.
One I heard somewhere and like: Star Trek and Blake’s 7 are both ficticious contemporary shows set in the same universe by writers who have very different feelings about the Federation they’re living in.
Not only animals, also objects (Cars) and even ideas and concepts (Monsters or Inside Out)
No wonder people left Earth. It wasn’t environmental causes, it was all the sentient things flying around.
The voyage of the Minnow (Gilligans Island) was a drug deal gone bad. There are several versions out there.
The movie Pulp Fiction is part of the Marvel Universe.
Nick Fury infiltrated Marsellus Wallace’s gang as Jules Winnfield, to retrieve the tesseract that was found by chance by Marsellus but not even he was aware of what exactly it was, only that it was very important.
The Marvel movies also noted and seem to favor this theory:
This one, I like!
Do they allow characters to smoke in the MCU? It’s not the Tarrantinoverse unless someone smokes Red Apple cigarettes.
I saw one just today that I thought was pretty cool and was apparently incorporated into the show’s canon: the word “Doctor” came to mean healers and academics because of early history’s interactions with Doctor Who. His name led to the word and not the other way around.
That the cartoon character Frazz is Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes grown up.
That the Star Trek: Enterprise was actually how the Mirror, Mirror universe got started.
That one really bugged me. We know the etymology of “doctor” pretty thoroughly. It comes from the Latin for “to teach.” Which raises the question: Do people in other languages hear the Doctor’s name in their own language, or do they hear the sounds of the English word “doctor”? If the former, do they hear the word meaning physician or the title of their highest academic degree? And if the latter, isn’t it amazing that the Doctor, the Master, the Rani, the Corvair, and I’m not sure how many other Time Lords chose names that make words in English.
Unless we get all those words from the Time Lords. In which case it makes sense that “master” means “someone who has some significant academic achievements but hasn’t shown himself clever enough to be called ‘doctor’ yet,” but makes less sense that it also means “schoolteacher” and not “evil bastard who shrinks people.”
In the first Casino Royale, that was a given.
I always thought the the new Klingons were the result of a allergic reaction to Tribbles.
Neo never left the Matrix.
The events of The Matrix were just “Level 1.”
By the end of Matrix Revolutions, when he went to the machine city and got the super-duper jack-in link in order to fight the “viral” Smith(s) is when his “code” got returned to The Source.
Zion, Trinity, Link, etc., are all just programs written to assist The One.
Ignore the final conversation between The Architect and The Oracle, and it works.
And fittingly, there is a second level theory based on this theory.
It’s that this isn’t just a fan theory; this was supposed to be the actual plot of the Matrix sequels. But when the first movie came out, some fans guessed this theory. The Wachowskis wanted to surprise the audience so they threw out the original plot and made up a new one.
Interestingly this fan theory was covered in Cracked yesterday. The fan who suggested the theory was a young Steven Moffat.
That’s pretty funny. Love the breakdown of Harry’s reaction to a blowtorch to the scalp.
I just saw one this morning that Batman is all in Bruce Wayne’s head. Wayne is in Arkham Asylum and the villains are all employees or other patients. I think it’s stupid but someone put some thought into it.
I like the idea that, in the last Star Trek film, Benedict Cumberbatch’s character was actually this guy, Khan’s second-in-command, who was pretending to be Khan to protect his leader from Star Fleet.
