In Friends:
Monica is on coke. That’s how she got thin and why she cleans so obsessively.
Also:
Phoebe is homeless, saw the others in the group in through the window of central perk one day, and the entire series is all in her head.
That was great. Was planning to watch a couple minutes and watched the whole thing.
Event Horizon takes place in the Warhammer 40k universe.
The screenwriter even acknowledged that it was inspired by 40k! One of my favorite horror movies, even though it’s flawed.
Event Horizon, Doom, and Minecraft could all take place in 40k.
Oh, I need to know more about this.
In 40k, faster than speed light happens by traveling through the Warp, basically a place where physics gets weird. The Event Horizon enters and exits the Warp.
The reason why the Warp is so dangerous is that this is where demons live that will turn you insane. To protect against this, ships in 40k have a Gellar field to protect against the demons entering the ship. The Event Horizon did not have this field, which is why it immediately becomes haunted.
Amazing.
Came here for this!
While I mostly keep watching the show out of some kind of morbid fascination, I’ve always believed that Rick literally is Morty in some way, or at least that was the originally intended big reveal.
It’s just too on brand for the shows sense of humor, and at least in the first season they were really into deconstructing or mocking a lot of classic Sci Fi tropes that while not that well known to the average viewer, any Sci Fi nerd would instantly recognize (in other words, Futurama but with dick jokes), and what fits better into that mold than the Grandfather Paradox?
When I have mentioned this, a few people have said that Rick “refuses to do time travel” or similar, but again what is more on brand for the show than for Rick to just go “Haha fuck you, I always knew how to time travel, but I don’t do it because reasons!” or some similar reversal. I mean they spent the first season loudly saying they weren’t a serialized story, while dropping breadcrumbs about a grand serialized story.
Apparently the recent anime crossover semi-confirms this theory, but I can’t be arsed to watch it, and I don’t think it is canon anyways (or if it is, it’s from dimension D-414 or something).
Endgame. The Soul Stone manipulated the Avengers into sending Nat and Clint to retrieve it.
The obvious team to go to a dangerous, almost unknown world would be Hulk, the super strong super scientist, and Rocket, the expert space pilot and weapons master. Nat is the acknowledged expert on manipulation and persuasion, much better to talk to the Ancient One. Clint would have been fine going with Thor.
The only reason to send Black Widow and Hawkeye was to force them into making the choice.
Among “The Big Lebowski” fans there are some that suggest that Donnie isn’t real.
In the whole movie, Walter’s is the only person that directly speaks to him. The Dude almost always ignores him or talks to him in a generic/patronizing way.
The theory says that Donnie was probably one of Walter’s war buddies in Vietnam and died and what we see in the movie is just Walter’s hallucination caused by PTSD. The Dude just plays along to not upset Walter.Whose ashes did they scatter at the end though?
That’s a big question mark. Some people theorized Walter showed up at the mortuary and took the ashes of someone with no family, like a homeless person or something, claiming they were Donnie’s.
It a stretch but also plausible, since Donnie’s name isn’t mentioned in the scene of the funeral house and no one else but Walter and The Dude showed up.
I like to imagine The Matrix (1) as a sequel to The Terminator 1&2.
This has been the biggest missed opportunity with the Terminator sequels.
I, Robot would make a great Matrix prequel, but I hadn’t thought of the Terminators :)
Hans from Frozen was turned evil by the rock trolls.
In the song Fixer Upper, they say ‘Get the fiance out of the way and the whole thing will be fixed.’ Shortly after, we see Hans be evil for the first time in the film.
In addition, at the beginning of the film, the grand troll notes that it’s lucky the magic hit her head and not her heart, because the head can be persuaded. So we have motivation, capability, and a stated intent.
Snowpiercer is a sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Doctor Who
My own theory is that Rose is always the doomsday device from the 50th Anniversary. The device creates Rose to test the Doctor to see if he is the one. This is how she is able to live after looking into the time vortex and makes Capt. Jack immortal.
Deep Space 9: The Prophets are future Bajorans that evolved beyond space & time, which is why they refer to themselves as “of Bajor” and have such a high interest in the fate of its people. The Pah-wraiths are just future evolved asshole Bajorans like Kai Winn & Jaro Essa.
Didn’t the show hint at this already? I don’t think that’s just a fan theory.
What about the theory that all of DS9 and therefore Star Trek are all in citizen Sisko’s mind just as a hopeful future.
Allegedly, Ira Behr wanted to end the series by making it all a fever dream by Benny Hill but Berman wouldn’t let him.
I like the theories that the SpongeBob characters are nuclear mutants and represent the seven deadly sins.
Go on…

That’s Gilligan’s Island; Gilligan is the devil.
Red Dwarf.
There are no aliens. Everything is man-made or a result of human intervention.
I thought that was fact, from Wikipedia:
The crew encounter phenomena such as time distortions, faster-than-light travel, mutant diseases and strange lifeforms (all evolved from Earth, because the series has no aliens) that had developed in the intervening millions of years.
Apparently so. Submission redacted.
But what is it?
A white hole? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe. A white hole returns it.
… But what is it?
Disney’s Aladdin is actually set in the far distant future.
That Isayama (creator of Attack on Titan) has been planning for the anime to be a sequel to the manga rather than an adaptation of it.
There’s a lot of evidence to support this but the one piece that kind of kicked off the theory is the fact that Attack on Titan copied a lot from a game called Muv-Luv. The ending of Muv-Luv 2 is even nearly identical to the ending of Attack on Titan. In Muv-Luv 3, they introduced multiple timelines and it had a different ending. So if Isayama can copy and ending once he can probably do it twice.
Interesting, looking into this more now
Thanks for the info
The megathread on r/ANRime has a all the info on the theory. But be aware that there is manga spoilers and posts made by terminally online people arguing with other terminally online individuals who disagree with the theory. The entire Attack on Titan Reddit community is a toxic shit show.
Gotcha
It’s no worries, I finished reading the manga a while back.
Good looking out tho
