Fans hoarse and banned on the forums are ready to argue about their favorite films. And sometimes such heated discussions lead to the emergence of interesting concepts. Here are the top 7 crazy fan theories about the most popular Hollywood movies.
7. Jar Jar Binks was a Sith Lord
The list of interesting guesses about popular franchises opens with a story from the Star Wars cycle, which was released in 1999. Not all Star Wars aficionados took The Phantom Menace well. But nothing unites viewers more than hatred for Jar Jar Binks, a cheerful inhabitant of Naboo. There's even an amateur version of The Phantom Edit, which removes almost all of the Gungan scenes.
Such a negative assessment of the character forced the writers to minimize his further appearance on the screen. Because of this, rumors circulated on the Internet that the seemingly harmless idiot was a Sith Lord in cahoots with Palpatine. Under the guise of a dummy, a cunning and very dexterous warrior was hiding, using the Force in such a way that it looked like incredible luck.
“Just another weird assumption,” someone might say. Yes, if you do not take into account the opinion of Ahmed Best, who voiced Jar Jar. In 2015, he posted a tweet in which he wrote the following about the "dark gungan": “Here's what I say: it's very nice that the hidden design of the work has been revealed. It doesn't matter how long it took. "
6. James Bond is the codename
For decades, there has been constant debate over the continuity of films about the fearless and dexterous British MI6 intelligence officer with a license to kill. Specifically, the debate runs along two lines:
- James Bond paintings do not care about continuity at all, and the same person acts in them
- This is one long story in which many people adopted the codename "James Bond" when they joined MI6.
The controversy did not subside after the release of the film "Coordinates of Skyfall", in which Bond visited the family nest and saw the gravestone of his parents. Supporters of the judgment about the codename and then found something to answer: the hero of Daniel Craig does not remember him, because his boss M "brainwashed him." And the antagonist Raul Silva is a former MI6 spy and another Bond who worked under M's before embarking on cyber terrorism. That is why he treats himself and 007 as the rats used by M. He remembers Skyfall well. This is the place where he was also brainwashed. Moreover, this was done so carefully, and the embedded personality was so complete that Silva knew in advance where Bond would deliver M, and was ready for it. Silva considers himself so devoted that killing M and discrediting MI6 is not enough for him: he must burn the place where it all began.
5. Killing Bill is a movie in a movie
The uniqueness of this concept lies in the fact that it was partially confirmed by Quentin Tarantino. He said that all of his paintings are set in the same universe. And it has a cinematic sub-universe.And, according to Tarantino, when the characters in Pulp Fiction decide to go to the cinema, they will see Kill Bill.
But some fans didn't think this was enough and they decided that the beauty Mia Wallace (played by Uma Thurman) was the bride in Kill Bill.
When Mia and Vincent Vega talk at the diner, the girl reveals that she once participated in a pilot series called Fox Force Five about a female team of undercover agents, each with a specific specialty. In addition to her heroine Raven McCoy, whose specialty was sword, the team included: a blonde leader, a Japanese kung fu expert, a black woman killer, and a French woman whose "specialty" was sex. These five girls in Fox Force Five are the perfect match for the five women from the assassination squad in the first part of Kill Bill.
4. Gandalf had plans for eagles
Many admirers of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy are perplexed: "why not just fly on eagles to Orodruin, instead of wading on the ground?" This is considered the main plot hole, but there is an idea that Gandalf wanted but did not have time to use these noble birds for travel.
According to the assumption of moviegoers, the Brotherhood of the Ring was heading to the Misty Mountains (where the eagles live), but it simply did not make it, as their leader fell from a bridge in a battle with the fire demon Balrog. And the wizard did not disclose his plan to anyone, fearing spies. Becoming Gandalf the White, he forgot his original intention, because he suffered from amnesia. In addition, by that time the exact whereabouts of Frodo and Sam were unknown.
3. Agent Smith - The Chosen One
In third place in the ranking of unusual theories about blockbusters is the cult trilogy of the Wachowski brothers (and now sisters). She presented our reality as a computer illusion with which machines control people. In the center of the plot was the Chosen One, a man with supernatural abilities, and not only in the Matrix but also in the real world. His actions according to prophecy could lead to the freedom of humanity. Most viewers unconditionally accepted Neo as such. But there were those who suggested that the Chosen One could also be Mr. Anderson's "nemesis", Agent Smith.
He is just as important to the plot as the protagonist of The Matrix. In addition, since both Neo and Smith eventually "merged" together, the latter also connected to Source. That is, Neo is a living channel for Smith, who fulfills the prediction.
2. Stan Lee is an alien
Marvel blockbusters have two traditions: mandatory post-credits scenes and Stan Lee's cameos. He is a necessary element of each of the Marvel worlds, although he does not claim more than a couple of minutes of screen time.
One of the more curious versions is that Lee is the same character in all cameos and that he is not just some kind of "guy from the street." In fact, he is the smartest alien named Uatu, a representative of the highly developed race of Observers. The role of these creatures is to observe other, less developed worlds. They decided not to participate in the affairs of the "smaller brothers" after they gave atomic energy to the planet, which then broke out into a nuclear war. However, Uatu periodically breaks his promise and interferes in earthly problems, since he is not indifferent to the fate of his new home.
This interesting conjecture was approved at the very top - the head of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige. Moreover, in the new part of "Guardians of the Galaxy" - one of the best films of 2017Stan Lee is shown seated in a group of Watchers. He is credited as the "Watcher Informant."
1. Gambling came out of the shadows and destroyed the darkness of Gotham City
In the 1990s, Batman movie stories were at their peak. The first two movies were directed by Tim Burton, and the billionaire Bruce Wayne and his alter ego were Michael Keaton. Later, Joel Schumacher took the helm of the "bat ship", and the franchise has undergone changes for the worse. The disastrous Batman and Robin was released, and Gotham City itself was seriously redesigned.For Burton, it was dark and deserted, and Schumacher's Gotham sparkled with neon lights and amazed by the height of the statues.
Perhaps this radical change is due to the legalization of gambling, which made the gloomy Gotham City the cinematic likeness of catchy Las Vegas. This had a beneficial effect on the economy, but at the same time, everything became too bright: both the villains and the main character with his Bat-credit card and even the Batmobile with a flame from the exhaust pipe. And the protector of Gotham has become a living mascot, a kind of bait for tourists. Although this version still does not answer a very important question: why the Batman suit needs nipples.
