Man, Tumblr does it again with just the kind of thread that leaves us speechless. As far as Tumblr taking us down rabbit holes goes, this one takes the cake. We get to see a deeply enjoyable analysis on a movie, "The Incredibles", that so many of us love. There's just no school like the old school.
fan theory
Whether or not you agree, it's true that people tend to read way too far into their favorite stories. And while some elements of darkness might be present in a kid's story, they might be just that, elements, and not the fully realized plottings of the artist who also poured their heart and soul into the other 95% of the story that you're not focusing on to fit your narrative. That said, there is fun to be had in fan theories, like how Darth Vader is way too extra or how Violet Beauregard should have inherited Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
Tumblr's short theory on Darth Vader's over-dramatic nature makes way too much sense. The guy routinely put his life on the line just for the sake of style. For some more humorous thoughts on Star Wars, here's a Star Wars fan calling out people's complaints about the latest movies.
This Tumblr user is suggesting that Tony Stark might have a much higher pain tolerance than we ever realized. That, or the director's decided to paint the picture as they did, just to make it look cool. Not because it was indicative of Tony Stark having some kind of superhuman pain tolerance thing going on.
SPOILER WARNING!
The internet's been stormed with wild theories about how Game of Thrones will end when the final episode for Season 8 airs this coming Sunday. To make matters more interesting, the show's writers apparently penned multiple endings to combat against the likelihood of leaks. So, even if you saw something about how Game of Thrones will end, you can't really be sure. Now, on to the theory that absolutely blew us away.
Ryan Caldwell's theory on how Game of Thrones will end went viral, and it is no surprise. Caldwell states that Daenerys Targaryen is a dragon. Yes, you read that right. And he supports this incendiary theory with quite the convincing argument.
The Duffer Brothers behind the critically-acclaimed Netflix TV series Stranger Things, have made no attempts to steer people clear of their beliefs that Stranger Things and It might be connected. I mean hell, Stephen King himself said that watching Stranger Things was like working through some of his greatest hits! Well, this naturally inspired a nice little wave of impressively believable fan theories.
Unless you spent your waking childhood under a rock, not engaging with society and appreciating one of the greatest gifts to humanity, Sesame Street, you're likely well informed on the greatness that is Big Bird. Well, this dude had the brilliant (highdea?) that Big Bird might not be the biggest bird on the block....

As an innocent and ignorant and wide-eyed kid I definitely fell prey to mistaking the iconic 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' movie as a candy-coated, chocolate-painted spectacle full of wildly enticing dreams. But dude, let me tell you. At some point or another further down the road when I'd lived a little bit more, and went back for the throwback viewing; that movie took on a whole different, sinister light.
It's vaguely terrifying. Unsuspecting kids touring a towering chocolate factory with a detached, devil-grin sporting tour guide, as they slowly get picked off one by one...succumbing to delicious temptations they'd been warned against. The fan theory here proposes a connection between the kids working their way through different layers of factory, much like Dante's Inferno involves the exploration of hell, and how its different levels include different sinful temptations. Honestly. I can see it. Mayhaps a little bit of a stretch, but the connection is definitely there.

Can't unsee/unthink that every time people talk about this super cute robot movie.
