Deep dives
The Tommy verse
The Tommy verse is a fan theory that suggests that various TV shows and movies are connected in one continuity through the character Tommy from the show St. Elsewhere. This theory proposes that Tommy, a neurodivergent character, imagined all these stories and that characters from different shows are part of the same shared universe. This theory has gained popularity due to the many Easter eggs and connections between characters and shows, creating a complex and interconnected storytelling universe.
Unified Pixar Theory
The Unified Pixar Theory is a fan theory that proposes all the Pixar movies exist in a single continuity. This theory suggests that the movies explore the concept of non-sentient objects becoming sentient and highlights the connections between different Pixar films. It speculates on the post-apocalyptic world of Cars, where machines live after humans are gone, and how the evolution of toys and bugs ultimately leads to the animal sapience in Ratatouille. This theory weaves together various Pixar films into a cohesive universe.
Darth Jar Jar
Darth Jar Jar is a fan theory that suggests the character Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars was secretly a Sith Lord. The theory proposes that Jar Jar's bumbling and clumsy behavior was a facade to deceive the Jedi and manipulate events in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. While not officially confirmed, there are some subtle hints and moments in the films that fuel this theory and have generated discussion among fans.
Back to the Future Fan Theory: Marty's Character Arc
A fan theory related to the Back to the Future trilogy suggests that Marty McFly's discontinued aversion to being called chicken developed as a result of changing his parents' lives in the first movie. This theory proposes that Marty's actions in the past altered the way he was raised, leading him to develop a strong aversion to being called chicken. This theory provides a character-driven explanation for Marty's peculiar and sudden character trait introduced in the second movie.
