Black Ops 6 There's going to be a Somalia mission
In the IGN trailer it first shows Clinton then Colin Powell. Powell was on Clinton's Joint Chief of Staff untill Gothic Serpent when he resigned because he had a falling out with Les Aspin who was being an incompetent moron for ignoring congressional requests for Bradleys and a C-130 gunship.
The mission will take place slightly before Gothic Serpent by a couple weeks or months as the US had a presence in Somalia since 1992.

Bojack Horseman Bojack wasn't at the wrong funeral.
Apologies if this has been said here before, but I was watching Free Churro and the ending intrigued me a bit. I have this long-standing theory that Bojack wasn't in the wrong funeral. The geckos at the end are a visual pun. They're called MOURNING geckos (Which is a real animal). When Bojack opened the casket and saw his dead mom he was confused and wondered how a bunch of geckos could possibly know her. This leads me to believe they were hired as stand-ins because Beatrice barely had anyone left in her life who cared enough about her to attend her funeral, and Bojack was so self-absorbed he didn't question it for one minute.

Mr.Bean Realistic Fan Theory
I know most people think Mr. Bean is an alien, and this has even been hinted at by the cast/crew, so is probably canon. But of course this isnt realistic.
The more I sit and think about Mr.Bean if he was a real person, the sadder I get. So here it is, my reality based Mr.Bean fan theory.
Rowan Edmund Bean was born in London some time in the 1950s. His descendants are the Blackadders on his mothers side, and the Bean family on his fathers.
As the young boy grows it becomes apparent that he is not a typical child. He is mostly non verbal, although can speak, especially as he gets older. What other people dont know is that young R.E Bean is on the autism spectrum. He is sadly never diagnosed, so never recieves any support or services that could help him with his social and communicative struggles.
His family dont understand him. His father is strict and punishes him for not "being like the other boys" and not speaking. His mother loves him but doesnt know why he is how he is, and is ultimately dissapointed with his percieved shortcomings (which arent really shortcomings, more so a result of his environment and lack of support). Any siblings he may have either tease him or ignore him completely.
He is academically bright, and especially enjoys maths (in the first epsiode of the series he takes a maths test paper, as he is clearly in his 40s at that point and not at school we have to presusme this is a pastime of his). He manages to just about get through school. As although he is academically normal, the pressures and social structure of school make it hard for him.
Once he leaves school he becomes reclusive. Escaping into his favourite books and TV shows/movies to forget his trauma and stress. His father kicks him out some time in his early 20s.
Mr. Bean struggles to find employment due to his social differences and ends up on benefits (welfare money) and is given a council flat. He keeps his only real friend, his childhood teddy, with him at all times. The small stuffed bear smells of his childhood home and his mother. It is a source of great comfort.
He lives most of his adult life bumbling about, much as we see in the episodes. Going about his life and doing what he does.
At some point in his early 40s he meets Irma Gobb, a sweet and nerdy young woman, who is also likely on the autism spectrum. They become close friends and later date. Bean feels warmth and happiness that he hasnt felt since his mother used to hold him.
His parents pass away some time in the 90s. His mother writes to him on her deathbed, telling him how much she loves him and that she hopes he can find true happiness.
In the mid 90s, Bean gets a job as a guard at the National Gallery in London. During his employment, in 1997, he is sent to the US to represent the Gallery. In reality, his colleagues just want him gone as they dont like him. The plot of the 1997 movie "Bean" commences.
His relationship with Irma grows distant and he is once again alone (apart from Teddy).
His life continues much the same until 2007 when he wins a ticked to Cannes in a raffle. Cue the plot of "Mr Bean's Holiday". He accidentally kidnapps a child on this trip, although returns the child unharmed and the father chooses not to press charges. He also winds up being an accidental star in director Carson Clay's film "Playback Time", after he inteferes with the projecting equipment. Due to positive audiance reception, Clay passes this off as intentional and Bean becomes a minor celebrity.
He makes a friend, Sabine, on his trip. But they dont enter into a romantic relationship. Speaking occasionally over the telephone or in letters.
His fame fizzles out as people forget about the film. He goes back to his day to day life in London with his beloved Teddy.
Mr Bean would be around 70 today. If he is still alive then he is likely still in his flat with Teddy. His heart is heavy with the pain of a lonely existance. But he still makes every day count. And he never feels truly lonely, as long as Teddy is there. He can still smell his
Hercules, Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid all take place in the same universe.
I'm proposing a fan theory that Hercules, Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid all take place in the same universe. ...I don't subscribe to the idea that all of the films in the Disney animated canon take place within the same universe, but there is some evidence that these four, at least, do.
Note: this is just for fun; I don't actually believe that a shared universe was the intention of the filmmakers when these movies were initially made.
Firstly, the film at the center of this theory linking all of the other films together is Hercules, so let's see how it connects to the other three:
The Lion King
Scar's pelt was shown in the movie, being worn by Hercules when he's posing for a painting. I know this was just meant to be a reference and not actual evidence of these two movies taking place in the same universe, at roughly around the same time...but it's more fun to think that they do. Now, it was clearly implied that Scar was killed by the hyenas at the end of The Lion King, but isn't actually shown on screen, of course. So how the pelt wound up in Greece is a mystery that's probably better left unsolved. There's nothing else in the original Lion King to either support or debunk this theory, as, since it takes place on the African savannah with no human characters or technology present, it could essentially take place during any time period.
Aladdin
Aladdin and Hercules actually had a crossover episode between their two TV shows in the 90s, in an episode titled "Hercules and the Arabian Night." If this crossover episode is to be taken at face value, that's evidence enough that not only do these two take place in the same universe, but also take place during the same time period, as the characters met and interacted with each other with no time travel involved. Now, Aladdin is probably the most difficult film to date, as it has too many cartoonishly anachronistic elements and cultural amalgamations in it to assign it a definitive time period. (There's even that infamous fan theory that it actually takes place in the far future.) Some have cited the usage of Arabic words to be evident that it must take place during the Islamic Golden Age, although the language actually predates Islam, so the usage of the language doesn't actually help us narrow down the time period all that much. But, if the Aladdin sequels and TV series are generally considered canon (I'm not sure if they are) then it has to be set around the 13th century BCE, due to the presence of characters and mythological creatures from ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, such as Mirage, Chaos, Nefir, Mechanicles, and of course Hades and Hercules, in the aforementioned crossover episode. ...There is minor evidence in the original movie that supports this dating, such as the appearance of an Egyptian carving the Sphinx during the magic carpet ride scene. Although as previously mentioned, there are plenty of anachronistic elements in the movie, even beyond the Genie's modern pop-culture references, such as the Forbidden City and fireworks also being depicted in the magic carpet scene, or Iago being a New World parrot, and llamas, a New World mammal, being shown during the Prince Ali song. There seems to be the most evidence pointing towards 13th century BCE dating, though.
The Little Mermaid
The connection to this one is fairly obvious if you know your Greek mythology: Ariel's father is Triton, who is the son of Poseidon. Poseidon is Zeus's brother, making Ariel and Hercules cousins. Unlike Aladdin and The Lion King though, The Little Mermaid can't possibly take place at the same time as Hercules, being set presumably some time around the 1800s.
What do you think of this theory? And are there any more loose connections that link other Disney movies to this supposed shared universe?

The Real Reason Winky Wasn't in 'The Goblet of Fire'? A Controversial Theory
I heard a rumor a while back, and I’m curious if anyone has more information or if this has been confirmed since I haven’t heard anything about it in a while.
The rumor goes that Winky wasn’t included in the "Goblet of Fire" movie because the visual effects team oversexualized her. Apparently, when they were trying to replicate Dobby, they ended up giving her exaggerated features like bigger breasts, genitalia, and buttocks. This misinterpretation seems baffling and would understandably be vetoed for obvious reasons.
Without even considering Winky’s storyline involving alcoholism and her submissive nature, the physical depiction alone could have been enough to warrant her removal, especially given the rising awareness around the #MeToo movement at the time.
While J.K. Rowling has faced significant controversy herself, maybe it was for the best that they avoided including such a problematic depiction of Winky. Has anyone else heard about this, or is it just another baseless rumor? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any additional information!

The Aliens in Signs (2002) weren’t demons, they’re cannon fodder.
The invasion was always planned to be a one time raid with the attacking aliens we see being disposable cannon fodder who the unseen alien leaders didn’t care about.
Critics of the movie like to point to the stupidity of aliens deathly allergic to water invading a planet covered by mostly water but this never really struck me as being a detriment to the film and the hyper focus on that aspect by critics is kind of weird when the attacking aliens are also totally unarmored and essentially unarmed on a planet bristling with guns. Yeah water can hurt them but so can beating them to death with a baseball bat or stabbing them with a kitchen knife.

Saw 10: The ending was imagined
So I've recently watched saw 10 and I thought it was good, however I felt like the end credits scene got cut off way to quickly because so much could've happened in that bathroom that we didn't even get to see. The thing is though, I think that entire encounter and saw trap was in John's head. For one thing, we see another trap sequence go on in his head earlier in the movie with the eye trap, so we know that this kind of thing is not out of the realm of possibilities. More importantly there's is a lot that's wrong with this scenario. For one, this game does not even seem like a game, because John just straight says the signature line and then starts up the machine, so it feel like it's more of just a torture device, which doesn't really play with john's whole vibe. Both him and detective Hoffman are in the room with him too. Which is an issue because if he did lose they'd probably just leave him in that bathroom like they did with Adam and Zepp, but in later movies in the timeline he's never seen again in there. So if he did survive not only would be able to identify John, he'd be able to report Hoffman because he specifically calls him detective, so his entire cover would be blown. I really don't know if this will lead to anything, I heard there may be another movie coming out in the future, so maybe they'll talk about this ending more. My opinion, I think it might be like the "I know what you did last summer" ending

Neil Patrick Harris Cinematic Universe
I've got a working theory that every movie and TV show that Niel Patrick Harris has been in are all connected. Doogie Howser was about his teen years as a doctor because he was a super genius, the last episode leaves him questioning his future in medicine. (I'm sure there's movies that fill this gap, but I need to do more research) He changes his name, leaves medicine, and gets recruited to work in a secret organization where he's seen in Undercover Brother. He's introduced to drugs by Dave Chappelle's character and goes through some traumatic experiences. Leading him to go on a long drug fueled bender where we see him in the Harold and Kumar movies. He gets clean, starts a normal life, and this is where we see him in How I Met Your Mother telling stories about his adventurous life to his children. Also in A Million Ways To Die in the West it's probably about a relative or something.
I appreciate any feedback on this theory.
TLDR: I think all Neil Patrick Harris movies/TV shows are related.

Edward Scissorhands and/or Jack Sparrow will have a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.
There's been a lot of talk about which Fox/MCU Marvel characters will cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, but I wonder if they will really have fun and pull any Fox/Disney characters from other universes. Depp reprised the role of Edward Scissorhands in an episode of Family Guy, a Fox show. The film and the character was owned by 20th Century Fox. I could see Deadpool being in that universe and confusing him for a Wolverine variant. Also, I could see an R-rated Jack Sparrow cameo since that franchise is in limbo right now.
I think that this is the only mainstream film he can appear in without causing too much controversy. Even though Disney has moved away from him, he was a big part of the studio for years before Marvel. Depp and the producer Jerry Bruckheimer are both open to Sparrow returning at some point. The cameos can test the waters for a return of Depp and Sparrow.
Is this really too out there for a multiverse Deadpool film?

Talon company in Fallout 3 to make the wasteland less hospitable and make the planet less attractive to alien invaders. In the Point Lookout DLC, Professor Calvert has allowed the local tribal group to worship an eldritch god and he has not made the area around Point Lookout hostile enough. As a result, he has attracted the attention of Desmond Lockheart, a sort of enforcement agent of the great game.
The group of great game players in Arizona set up the Legion as a more natural method of preventing societal progress. The legion keeps conditions brutal and recruits or kills anyone who could become a positive leader in the area, such as Joshua Graham. The legion keeps the surface too desolate to be worth attacking, while an elite few scientists work in secret under the desert. Ceaser’s ‘brain tumor’ is a piece of technology that is used to control him, like a synth component in Fallout 4.
In Fallout 3 DLC Mothership Zeta, the Lone Wander hijacks an alien spaceship and uses it to shoot down another spacecraft. At the end of the DLC, they just kind of leave the ship in orbit. I believe this is the first hijacking of an alien ship and the technology gained from the spaceship makes the Eastern Brotherhood the most technologically advanced faction in the wasteland. The Prydwen is constructed with alien technology, which is why we don’t see any ship of its kind before Fallout 4.
Elder Lyon tells the players of the great game that the war is over. With alien technology, they can fight the invaders in the sky instead of on the surface, the aliens that crash in 4 may have been shot down by a brotherhood spaceship. Lyon asks these groups to construct parts for the brotherhood spacecraft as well as end research into technologies Lyon considers dangerous.
Most of these groups concede to Lyon’s demands. The Arizona group hands over the keys to their puppet Ceaser and the legion is retrofitted to become the Arizona chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel. Elder Quintus is old enough to have been around for this change, and that is why he is so jaded. It is possible we could see Lanius or Vulpes Inculta in the brotherhood next season. House also agrees to work with the Brotherhood. The institute does not want to give up the synth program, so they are one of many who refuse to join the new brotherhood.
The NCR refuse to join creating a problem for the leadership of the Brotherhood. House and Hank convince the lone wander to nuke Shady Sands, because this would make Vault City more powerful in California, and Vault City was willing to work with the Brotherhood. Hank compares himself to Liam Dadson from Fallout 3, this is what pushes the Lone Wander over the edge and LW agrees to nuke Shady Sands. He sends the Brotherhood in after the nuke to help any survivors, and that is how Maximus joins the Brotherhood. ‘The Fall of Shady Sands’ shown in Vault 4 could have been Shady Sand's refusal to join the brotherhood, with the nuclear strike being a direct result.
There is an assassination attempt on Elder Lyon, Sarah Lyon, and LW. Elder Lyon and LW die, but Sarah survives and spreads the story she died to protect herself from the assassins. She makes Maxson the leader of the brotherhood due to his family legacy while Sarah quietly pulls the strings behind the scenes. Li is shown in the institute in Fallout 4, so it is possible she may have been involved in the assassination attempt and fled to the institute after Elder Lyon and LW were dead. The institute is destroyed in most endings of Fallout 4 so it is safe to assume the brotherhood removed this rival and is now cracking down on other Enclave/Vault Tec/Institute groups.
The reveal of cold fusion at the end of the TV show proves to the brotherhood that there are still technologies being hidden from them, so the brotherhood will decide to crack down on their Western chapters. Their primary target will be the leader of the New Vegas Brotherhood, Mr. House. This will be the main plot for season two of the Fallout TV show. Howard's family is likely also aligned against the brotherhood as a part
Dr Who Rickey is Mickey confirmed
If you watch the scene where Mickey dies, he has the same clothes that Rickey impersonating Mickey has later on. I know the tin dog reference, but just rewatched this and realized. "What am i supposed to do, Leave behind and be the tin dog" . The lion and the tin dog was a childrens book in the early 90s, and Ricky would've been 8 when that came. So this dissaproves nothing.
To add to that, Rickey knew about Tardis, because he interviewed/interrogated Mickey earlier. The tin dog isnt the only book reference in this episode, see "Mrs Moore in Space"

Fat Ass was a victim of fatphobia. Doesn't it seem quite odd that his famous lines are "I'm not supposed to be here" and "making a mistake". He even does not seem like your average criminal.
My theory is that Fat Ass was a victim of fatphobia. Shawshank is a prison full of rapists and murderers and this poor shmuck got stuck in there? What gives?

Disney Dr. Facilier and Mama Odie (from The Princess and the Frog), are ancestors of the Proud Family.
Exhibit A: Look at this picture of Bobby Proud next to Dr. Facilier and Suga Mama next to Mama Odie. See the resemblance?
Exhibit B: Members of the Proud Family are shown to have abilities that could possibly be magical in origin.
Season 1, Ep. 4 “The Tiger Whisperer”-Penny is able to communicate with a tiger. Only she can hear him speaking.
Season 2, Ep. 20 “Penny Potter”-We’re introduced to Suga Mama’s sister, Spice, who has telekinetic powers.
Exhibit C: possible existence of Facilier’s “Friends on the Other Side” in the Proud Family universe. In Season 2, Ep. 10 “Tween Town,” Penny makes a deal with someone who is supposedly Al Roker, in order to make all the adults in town go away. The whole thing plays out very much like a typical “Deal With the Devil” story, complete with her signing a contract. “Al Roker,” seems to operate very much like Facilier’s “Friends,” making deals with mortals to achieve his goals. This makes me think that he’s one of them, but chose to appear to her in a form where she’d be more likely to see him (as a weather man on her TV), rather than as a voodoo mask. His previous dealings with Facilier also explain why he chose to appear to her specifically—he knows that she’s inherited Facilier’s connection to the supernatural.

Is Stolitz Even a Thing??
So I stumbled on a show called Helluva Boss I watched it. Great show. 100% recommend btw, I noticed something. Two characters caught my eye.
An owl named Stolas
And an imp named Blitzø.
Their relationship is very complicated and I don’t know how to explain it. Stolas is a very heartfelt person and loves Bliztø more than anything. But the relationship I wanna say is one sided. Blitzø thinks Stolas is only in the relationship for sex, make outs, etc.
But I truly feel as though Stolas cares. As I take a deep dive through my own questions I hope to answer yours.
Episode 7 of the first season (finale) it shows Millie and Moxxie (a married duo that works with Blitzø) going to a club for their anniversary. Blitzø, wants to secretly tag along with them even after Moxxie told him not too.
Blitzø continues forward and follows them to the club. But tragedy strikes and the bouncer of the club tells Blitzø he can’t enter without a partner. So, Blitzø calls up his friend, Stolas.
Blitzø only brought Stolas because he wants to spy on his friends but Stolas thinks it’s a date. Soon Moxxie goes up to sing and gets embarrassed by the host, Zee. Blitzø goes up and confronts Zee and sticks up for Moxxie. Soon the truth is revealed that Stolas (the king) is Blitzø’s date. Zee brings up that Stolas cheated on his wife for an imp and soon Blitzø finds it necessary to leave. But on the car ride home Stolas thanks Blitzø for the wonderful night and asks if he would like to come in the palace and watch a movie or something. Blitzø gets antsy and tells Stolas that all he wants is to have sex with him and then leaves. This leaves Stolas crying in the steps.
All this information tell me that Stolas really does care and he really does want the relationship to work. I don’t think it’s canon just yet though.
Coming back later!!!!
Alright so I found more info!!! In episode 6 at the end Blitzø gets saved by Stolas and when they get back he continues to say they will have sex later and kisses him.
Maybe it is canon idk tell me what you think!

MCU The watcher is narrating to Loki.
At the end of Loki season 2, Loki sacrificed himself spending all eternity holding the branches of the multiverse together into a world tree. Doing this naturally would be absurdly boring and any form of entertainment would certainly be appreciated. That's where the watcher comes in.
When narrating, the watcher mentions "Your universe" several times in reference to the "sacred timeline" we see in the movies. Who is "you" in this case? It could simply refer to the audience, but the MCU isn't "our" universe. It's fiction after all. I think a better candidate would be Loki.
TVA Loki's universe was identical to the sacred timeline before the intrusion of the avengers. Before his timeline could properly diverge, it was pruned and he was shown the rest of what his life would have entailed. For all intents and purposes the sacred timeline was "HIS" universe. At least what it was supposed to be. While this is certainly a stretch, I think the term would be more appropriate for him than us.
Sitting at the end of time, Loki remains comforted only by the stories of what wonderous worlds are out out there. They act both as entertainment and as well as an important reminder of what he's doing all this for.
At the end of what if season 2, the watcher even shows Captain Carter a view of the world tree when mentioning the "scenic way" home. Perhaps he wants her to visit his boss on the way back in season 3.

Abbie Simpson is a trans woman, and Herb is a trans man
Okay, so last night I had this realisation and couldn't sleep thinking about it.
Abbie appears in "The regina monologued" and is shown to be the daughter of an affair Abe had with a lover during the WWII. She is a bit dumb, like Homer.
Meanwhile, Herb is a successful and intelligent man, although he lost his business due to Homer's fault.
In "Lisa, the Simpson" it is shown that there's a "Simpson stupidity gene" that is ONLY in the Y chromosome. Daughters of Simpson fathers are smart while Simpson sons are stupid. Then, if both Abbie and Herb are Abe Simpson's children, why is Abbie dumb (like Homer) while Herb is smart? The only plausible answer is that both are transgender. The gen is located in the Y chromosome, not caused by testosterone, or silenced by estrogen. Therefore, they are not exceptions to the rule, but confirmations.
What do you think?

Winky, Socks, and Foot Fetishes: Exploring the Odd Connection Between J.K. Rowling and Dan Schneider
I’ve been thinking about something that seems to fly under the radar in the Harry Potter series: the significance of giving house-elves socks to set them free. But there's an unsettling angle here that reminds me of a different corner of pop culture specifically, Nickelodeon and Dan Schneider.
House-elves are given socks as a symbol of freedom, but considering the prevalence of foot fetishes, could there be a provocative undertone here? It's a simple gesture in the storyline, but when you think about it, the idea of giving a creature a piece of clothing that's associated with feet seems oddly specific and potentially suggestive.
This got me thinking about Nickelodeon’s Dan Schneider, who’s notorious for his alleged obsession with feet, prominently featured in shows like iCarly and Victorious. The odd focus on feet and the unsettling rumors surrounding Schneider add a layer of discomfort to the whole concept.
Interestingly, there are a few industry connections between J.K. Rowling and Dan Schneider that could make this theory more plausible. Both Rowling and Schneider have worked with Warner Bros. Rowling’s Harry Potter films were produced by Warner Bros., and Schneider’s shows often involved Nickelodeon, which is a subsidiary of ViacomCBS, a frequent collaborator with Warner Bros. in various media projects.
Moreover, during the height of the Harry Potter film series, Nickelodeon often promoted Harry Potter content, including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast. This cross-promotion created a bridge between the two entertainment giants.
Both Harry Potter and Schneider’s Nickelodeon shows are primarily catered to children, which adds another layer of complexity. The choice of socks in Harry Potter as a symbol of freedom and the notorious foot fetish themes in Schneider’s shows seem eerily connected when considering the audience and the potential implications.
In the context of Winky’s storyline, with her struggles and submissive nature, the symbolism of socks and freedom takes on a whole new layer. Was this an intentional subtext or just an innocent plot device? Considering the rise of the #MeToo movement and increased scrutiny of problematic behaviors, the avoidance of potentially provocative content seems even more relevant.
Does anyone else think the choice of socks in the Harry Potter series could be seen as provocative, or am I reading too much into it? And what do you think about the odd parallel to Schneider’s notorious foot fetish themes in Nickelodeon shows? Would love to hear your thoughts and interpretations!

Regarding the Minotaur Theory from The Shining
I've always been big on fan theories, and I'm a very big fan of The Shining. There isn't a lot I find myself agreeing with in the documentary Room 237, but regardless of its analytical prowress, the fact the documentary exists is a testament to The Shining's legacy.
Anyways, I want to bring up the Minotaur theory brought forth in the doc. I think the laybrinth analogy is very valid, at least as an interpretation. However, the infamou skiing poster does not resemble a minotaur. It's a stretch and everybody knows it. I see people talk about this when Shining theories are brought up, whether they deride the idea or agree with it. But what I never see anybody bring up is the fact a skiing poster exists at all.
The Overlook is closed during the winters, from October until May. It would be very normal and expected to see a skiing poster, presumably to advertise the activity, in a mountain-top resort that was open during the winter months, but it's strange and out of place to see in a hotel such as this.
Kubrick intentionally made the film very confusing and non-euclidian. A chair disappears and reappears between shots within the same scene. The layout of the hotel's floor plan makes zero logical sense. The film aims to subliminally disorient us, in attempt to increase a feeling of uncomfortableness and fear. I know what I'm positing is very simple, but I believe the winter skiing poster in the summer hotel is only there to further mess with us.
Side note: The Apollo part of Room 237 is laughably bad, but the "moon room" bit is singlehandedly the dumbest bit of fan theory I have ever seen, haha. They shoukd make a sequel to the documentary, but with more analysis and better theories.

Now that I have proven Fat Ass's crush on Andy let me prove to you why Fat Ass got purposely beat up by the guards. Fat Ass's crush on Andy leads to him having suicidal thoughts because Andy's attractiveness leads him (Fat Ass) to believe that he would never get a guy so hot.
When he shouted out his famous lines "I don't belong here" and "I wanna go home" he knew it was gonna cause a stir in the prison and guard Hadley was gonna come and beat Fat Ass up. Which is what Fat Ass wanted because he didn't wanna live anymore.
The saddest part about this is that Andy probably reciprocated that love for Fat Ass. When he asks the other inmates what Fat Ass's name was we could see a slight bulge coming from Andy's pants. This leads me to believe that Andy had a crush on Fat Ass.
Now this is just a minor theory but I love to imagine a more complex story within small moments of film.

of some Vault tech enclave, so they will be in contact with Mr. House.
I think Bethesda has been hinting at this lore retrofit since Fallout 4, and I think they want to go in this direction because it allows them to make the Fallout world bigger, and therefore they will have more settings for games. This lore retrofit also makes China less of the bad guy, and Microsoft wants that so they can sell games and TV shows in that market.
Let me know what you think of my theory!

Fallout Theory Spoilers
I have been a fallout fan for years and I loved the TV show that came out. I have been spending a lot of time thinking about some of the unanswered questions from the show, and I think I have distilled all my crackpot theories into one grand insane theory. Obviously, spoilers ahead. This theory seeks to answer the following questions:
· Why was the Brotherhood of Steel in the aftermath of the nuking of Shady Sands?
· How do the Zetans relate to the Great War?
· How did Arther Maxson become the leader of the brotherhood so quickly?
· How has the East Coast Brotherhood gained so much political power since Fallout 3?
· Why does Hank take credit for nuking Shady Sands?
· How did Cooper and his daughter survive the radiation from a close nuclear strike?
· What is ‘The Great Game’?
· Who is paying the Talon Company to cause chaos in the capital wasteland?
In Fallout 4, There is a plaque at the New State House that says the American states were reorganized into commonwealths in 1969. Obviously, that did not happen in our timeline. This appears to be the first divergence from our timeline in the Fallout games. 1969 is the year that America landed on the moon, and I think in Fallout 1969 the Zetan aliens became known by the American and Communist governments. Between 1969 and 2077 the governments of Earth monitored the spaceships floating in orbit and it became more and more clear that the aliens were monitoring Earth and planning to invade. If the government made it public knowledge that they were going to fight an alien invasion, the aliens would probably invade early and humanity would be at a disadvantage, so they came up with a cover story for their arms productions.
America and China would pretend to be at war in a sparsely populated area, but when the aliens landed, they would both work together to fight the invaders. The only people who would be sent to Alaska were actors like Cooper Howard and the government would release video games like Operation Anchorage to make people feel like we were in the middle of a massive war. The government also turned to black magic to fight the aliens, and what we see at Dunwich hints at institute-like groups that used magic to survive the war.
The aliens invade in 2077 and America and China go ham with their nuclear arsenals targeting the alien spacecraft. This explains why Mariposa and the enclave oil rig were not targeted by nukes despite being obvious military targets. This does seem to contradict what we see in the opening of the Fallout TV show, but I think the writers will explain this away by saying LA was attacked by alien death rays, not nuclear weapons, which is why Cooper and his daughter survived what would be a lethal dose of radiation.
The aliens continue to try to invade until slightly before 2161. The Invaders from Beyond event in Fallout 76 is supposed to represent a small piece of this invasion. There is no definite end to the invasion, but the intensity of the attacks has weakened over the decades. The aliens in Mothership Zeta are shown to have a technology to pick up damaged alien spacecraft on the surface, and that is the reason we see so few alien spacecraft in the game. Because the aliens generally attack prosperous settlements, the surviving government and militias agree to prevent the development of settlements on the surface. This agreement comes to be known as ‘The Great Game.’
The aliens are known to have mind-reading technology, so allowing anyone on the surface to comprehend advanced technologies could reveal these technologies to the aliens. Vault tech and the Enclave flooded the surface with super mutants, death claws, robots, and gangs of murderous raiders to prevent the surface from recovering after the war. The Enclave created the super mutants on the east and west coasts as their piece of the great game. The institute plays the Great Game by making the northeast uninhabitable due to synths and super mutants. Vault tech was paying groups like the
Encanto: the grandma and mirabel both have powers
Ever thought it was weird that the abuela was so disappointed in Mirabel for not having powers but also didn’t seem to have powers?
Essentially the Grandmas powers are mind control. After her past, her defense mechanism sets up a protective bubble basically along the lines of Wanda-Vision. That’s why she’s able to push everyone into perfection, and that’s why the village is so obsessed with this family but the family doesn’t seem to know the villagers much. It’s why everyone seems to focus on one specific expectation and break down at the thought of failing, even if they really wish to be free of it. Bruno starts making predictions that she’ll lose control and threatens her so Abeula makes him an outcast and literally blocks people from talking about him until Mirabel shows up.
Now you’ve got Mirabel, who’s born with the ability to resist mind control and break it over others. Grandma is terrified of losing her control over the family so she convinces them to subconsciously treat her as a disappointment and outcast, and she tricks them into thinking that she was rejected by the house. Mirabel starts going person to person freeing them from grandmas control and letting both learn to be themselves and “talk about bruno”. She eventually frees everyone in the family and then the village

(PvZ) Crazy Dave was a once smart person who turned half zombie due to a test accident. This same test accident became the building blocks to the zombie spread.
For anyone who hasn’t played PvZ before, the game is about you planting plants in your garden to fight against zombies. You do this to defend your house. Crazy Dave is your neighbour. One interesting thing that bugged me was:
How come we never see sight of anyone else defending themselves in the game?
There are many answers to this question. Everyone else could be dead, they all could have evacuated.
But what if Crazy Dave was a famous smart person at one point that got into a freak accident, putting him in a half human half zombie phase?
Evidence:
1. The zombies always target your house. Zombies are always known for not being smart. If Crazy Dave were to be half zombie, they probably confused the 2 houses and were meant to go to his to finish the job.
2. In the sequel. It is confirmed that Crazy Dave made Penny the Time Machine to travel into different times. This is an amazing feat, one only a smart person could do. He could have retained some high intelligence during the transition.
I know this is an insane stretch, but the more you think, the more plausible it gets.

Dune Part II - Paul could easily defeat Feyd at another point but he is still suffering from the poisonous water of life
Dune Part II noticeably alters the duel between Paul and Feyd upping the stakes of the fight. In the book its clear Paul is wiping the floor with Feyd for most of it. However in the book its also assumed Paul leads the fremen in the arakeen assault whereas in the movie we see Paul walking his way towards the fremen and sardaukar forces. I think Paul cannot physically fight against the sardaukar like we see in the part 1 premonition (although the armour appears to be fedaykin there) because he is still fighting the poison from the water of life. In his fight with Feyd (who's still a cheating gladiator in the film) he has to take a wound in order to win which seems like a last resort for someone trained by the Fremen, Duncan Idaho and Gurney.
Feyds gladiator fight which is the only other time we see him battle in the film is against a malnourished and tortured Atreides soldier and even then it wasn't an immediate win. Also Pauls glimpse of his win in the fight occurs after drinking the water of life possibly already showing to himself how he perseveres despite the poison.
I think the mismatch of power between Feyd and Pauls ability is balanced by the idea of Paul barely functioning from the effects of the water of life and trying to keep going despite the fact he's been heavily poisoned
