counting down our picks for the top ten
fan theories that were right for this
list we’re taking a look at instances in
popular culture including film
television and books where fans
predicted certain plot lines before they
officially became canon before we begin
we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content keep in mind that we can’t talk
about any of these theories without
delving into spoiler territory the what
doctor means mighty warrior number 10
Barnard is a version of Arnold Westworld
there’s something else bothering you
vinod even before its first season was
over Westworld had the internet buzzing
with banned theories blurring the line
between artificial intelligence and
intelligence in general the show kept
audiences guessing who was an Android
and who was a human being they were
talking to the same imaginary person
someone named Arnold early on many fans
speculated that programmer Bernard was
more machine than man some fans took
this theory to the next level predicting
that Bernard was not only a robot with a
false backstory but he was also a
recreation of Arnold the parks deceased
co-creator are they real the things I
experienced my wife the loss of my son
every host needs the backstory but not
you know that the writers dropped
numerous hints leading up to the
shocking revelation perhaps the subtlest
detail is that Bernard Lowe is actually
an anagram for Arnold Weber my god no
number nine humanity got the word doctor
from the doctor dr. who can we alone
time for the doctor but he’s worth it
okay over the years doctor who has
inspired numerous fan theories for
example quite a few fans suspected that
the TARDIS was intended to have six
pilots another fan cooked up the theory
that you can kind to ride the English
word doctor from the show’s titular
character after all the doctor is aided
countless individuals across space and
time so wouldn’t it make sense of
humanity named healers after the doctor
doctor the word for healer and wise man
throughout the universe
we kept that one from you you know
the guy who posted this fan Theory
online back in 1995 was none other than
Steven Moffat who eventually became the
showrunner for the Doctor Who revival
so naturally he didn’t hesitate to make
his theory a reality is that cheating
maybe but it’s still pretty cool
if you carry on the way you are what
like that word come to me number eight
negan kills two people instead of one
The Walking Dead this is season six of
The Walking Dead ended on a killer note
with negan breaking out Lucille and
mercilessly beating somebody to death
the murder was presented from the
victim’s point of view leaving the
audience on a brutal cliffhanger
many fans figured that Glenn would be
the most likely casualty sing how negan
killed him in the comics leading up to
the season 7 premiere however fangroup
the spoiling dead shared a theory that
negan would kill not one but two members
of Rick’s group back to it in addition
to Glenn Abraham’s life was expected to
meet a brutal end the theory was dead on
as both of these fan favorites
ultimately dot the axe well got the bat
number 7 Chuck is God
supernatural well there’s only one
explanation
obviously oh my god if you’re a divine
being that wants to hide in plain sight
amongst humans calling yourself Chuck
Shurley
is a good way to throw people off track
by the end of season 5 many supernatural
fans were convinced that this mysterious
author was God mistress Magda no Chuck
Chuck wrote about Sam and Dean’s
adventures in his book series making him
a creator with a clear connection to the
Winchesters oh crap what
I can feel even more telling Chuck can
feel the presence of angels and Castile
even referring to him as a prophet of
the Lord he’s a prophet of the Lord the
Chuck his God debate went on for a few
more years until mr. surely finally
revealed his true nature to Metatron
Chuck be praised God number six
why Klingons have forehead ridges the
Star Trek franchise I am cool
military governor of Virginia since the
original Star Trek series didn’t have
the biggest budget
Klingons weren’t the most distinctive
looking aliens when the franchise
transition to the big screen however the
filmmakers could afford more
sophisticated makeup effects Klingons
underwent significant physical changes
most notably developing forehead ridges
for any series with a devoted fan base
however that sort of change needs an
explanation among numerous theories some
trekkers came to the conclusion that
Klingons must have tinkered with genetic
experimentation at one point in season
four of Star Trek Enterprise fans were
finally given a proper explanation they
were trying to create Klingon augments
turns out that genetic manipulation was
to blame both for Klingons losing their
natural riches and the varying degrees
of ridging seen today Starfleet
intelligence believes that Klingons have
a genetic research facility colony
number five
Stanley’s cameos are all the same
character the Marvel Cinematic Universe
superheroes in New York can be drinking
before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was
even around Stanley had a habit of
popping up in films based on comic book
creations since the MCU is one entity
though there was mass speculation that
Lee’s cameos shared a common thread can
I have my shoe back it’d be a huge
coincidence if that random citizen
mental patient and Hugh Hefner want to
be all just happened to look alike the
theory seemed more legit than ever
following guardians of the galaxy vol 2
where Lee appeared as a watch’s
informant that’s taken on various
different roles including a FedEx driver
are you Tony thank Marvel Studios
President Kevin Feige backed the theory
up shortly after reviewing they always
thought it would be a fun idea hey you
were supposed to be my lift home
how do I get out of here hey gee I’ve
got so many more stories to tell
number four all of his movies are
connected the Quentin Tarantino universe
speaking of cinematic universes
did you know Quentin Tarantino’s movies
are all tied together diehard fans of
the writer/director have noticed several
parallels over the years for example
Donny Donowitz from inglourious basterds
and Lee Donowitz from true romance share
the same last name Big Kahuna burger has
been referenced multiple times as for
Vic and Vincent Vega their brothers on
an Australian talk show the project
Tarantino finally explained how his
films are linked as he puts it every
character inhabit is realer than real
universe but there’s also a special
movie universe
so basically when the characters of
Reservoir Dogs or a pulp fiction when
they go to the movies Kill Bill is what
they go see that’s the dawn is what they
go see huh that would actually explain
the similarities between Kill Bill and
Mia Wallace’s failed television pilot
Fox force five foxes and we’re a bunch
of foxy chicks force as in we’re forced
to be reckoned with and five as in
there’s one two three four five of us
number three Harry is one of Voldemort’s
Horcruxes the Harry Potter novel series
can you spit I saw one during Harry’s
sixth year at Hogwarts it’s revealed
that Baltimore divided his soul into
seven pieces and contained them inside
Horcruxes as long as all of these
objects exist he-who-must-not-be-named
can never be defeated this sparked a
popular theory the harry is one of the
Horcruxes explaining his connection to
the Dark Lord as it turns out Baltimore
accidently imparted a fragment of his
soul onto Harry when he first tried to
murder him a part of Voldemort’s soul
that’s itself under the only living
thing it could find
whether you saw this was coming or not
it hit us all hard when Harry realized
that he would have to sacrifice himself
to vanquish Baltimore
fortunately Harry has given another shot
at life once his ties to Baltimore are
severed I have to go back heaven time Oh
that’s up to you number two they were in
purgatory or close enough lost
throughout season one it was widely
believed that the passengers of oceanic
flight 81
and the island they’re stranded on is
purgatory while that’s not exactly how
things played out the theory essentially
came true in the end at the beginning of
season 6 the story starts jumping
between the original timeline and a
flash sideways timeline where the plane
never crashed it’s ultimately revealed
that this timeline exists somewhere
between life and death where our
characters are given a chance to let go
before moving on you should let that
happen man
I was supposed to die well there are a
few different ways to interpret the
finale it’s hard to deny that this place
has limbo written all over it before we
get to our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions father
kouhai better lattice Hamato Yoshi the
author of the journals my brother number
one
Rhaegar + Liana equals John Game of
Thrones many years ago one attentive fan
began to piece together the meaning of
whores name when george RR martin asked
him to hold the door
that’s admittedly awesome but our top
spot goes to the r + l equals j theory
according to this theory Jon Snow isn’t
Ned Stark’s bastard he’s actually the
son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna
stark Ned’s sister although Martin still
hasn’t finished writing the books the
theory was proven correct in season 6 of
Game of Thrones it’s since been
clarified that John’s birth name is
Aegon Targaryen making him the rightful
heir to the Iron Throne whoa hold on so
wouldn’t that mean that Daenerys and
John are oh god do you agree with our
