Star Wars Mace Windu let Palpatine kill Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin and possibly Kit Fisto
The four Jedi masters wanted to arrest him but found he was a powerful Sith Lord, which almost the whole of the galaxy dosen't know about. He easily kills three of them and eventually is defeated by Mace. Now had Mace killed him things would have probably been really bad still as it would look like the Jedi or at least these four were traitors for killing the chancellor, the clone wars could have turned into the CIS and everyone else fighting aganist the Jedi and clones. Or maybe the Jedi aganist each other.
Clones take orders only from Jedi but their chips meant they would ultimately obey Palpatine over them, but with him dead it would probably be just the Jedi who could control them or the clones would attack them still seeing they killed their highest leader, I don't know how this would play out but it certainly wouldn't be any better than what did happen.
What Mace had to do had he killed Palpatine or did as Anakin said and let him stand trial, he would need to prove that the Jedi are not the traitors and Palpatine is the evil Sith lord behind everything, but how would this be done whether the chancellor was a lifeless corpse or a whimpering deformed old man who mustn't use his powers or that would blow his cover?
With those three bodies of the dead Jedi, that's how. They were really powerful masters yet having lightsaber wounds in them would show they were killed by a very powerful skilled lightsaber user and not a regular person or an army with guns. Them dying so easily was not just due to Palpatine being far stronger than they expected but also Mace not jumping in to help them and letting them die knowing in advance he needs proof a Sith lord is about.
Kit Fisto lasting a bit longer and fighting Palpatine at the same time as Mace suggests that he may have wanted him to live seeing how OP he was and two dead masters would have been enough to show his power.
Grevious and Dooku are dead and not on Coruscant when this all happened ruling them out as suspects. As a bonus he could also have looked for the red lightsaber kicked out the window showing the murder weapon. Only Sith have red lightsabers so this would help show it.
TLDR: Mace needed proof that Palpatine was a powerful Sith Lord and that the Jedi weren't traitors so let him kill the Jedi masters instead of jumping in sooner to help them. He may not have done this for Kit Fisto seeing how he lasted a bit longer being stronger and knew he needed at least one master to help secure a win.

The Shawshank Redemption Red orchestrated the attack on Andy by the sisters.
I haven’t read the book yet so purely this purely based on the movie (that I admittedly haven’t watched in a while) and me being an idiot.
Red chooses Andy when the inmates are taking bets on who will break on the first night. Later at breakfast, Red is shown being visibly annoyed at Heywood when he comes to collect his winnings.
Later Red tells Andy to “wait a while” when Andy mentions he has no enemies and remarks “the sisters have taken quite a like to you”. Red knows this because he asked them to attack Andy.
However, the sisters continue to attack Andy because he fought back. Andy then proves his usefulness to Norton and eventually leads to Hadley beating Boggs so badly it scares the sisters off. Red also knows Andy is more of an asset to him alive so continues to be friendly toward him.
Red is known to be well connected in the prison so it does seem he could set this up with a few bribes.
I know Red’s narration makes him out to always have been friendly toward Andy but I’m putting this down to the whole “unreliable narrator” schtick and the fact there’s somewhat of a running joke that all the criminals are innocent, showing their penchant for lying. Also blaming the unreliable narrator because my dumb idea falls apart without it.
Maybe I should rewatch the movie.

[Wish] Asha created the Walt Disney Company
Asha created a secret society dedicated to inspiring and protecting dreams and wishes, which eventually gave birth to the Walt Disney Company.
For context: this theory is connected to a larger, pretentiously-named [Grand Unifying Theory of Disney Movies](https://www.reddit.com/r/DisneyTheories/comments/m99lis/a_grand_unifying_theory_of_disney_movies_part_one/) of mine, though it can be read as a standalone piece. Throughout this post, I'll be taking *as a given* that most^(1) of the Disney Animated Canon takes place in the same universe. With that in mind...
**Someone is keeping these stories alive**
In the Disney universe, figures like Snow White, Aurora and Ariel are real historical figures, and their lives are historical events. However, they are *also* stories; because they are being recorded as such. Someone is taking the lives of outstanding people throughout history and recording them as fairytales.
We have known this since 1940's *Pinocchio*, where Jiminy Cricket is seen besides books of [Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and Pinocchio itself](https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/comments/ewh9ps/in_pinocchio_1940_when_jiminy_cricket_opens_a/).
And before the reader argues that this is just a frame that exists for the benefit of the audience, but is not part of the world of *Pinocchio*, let us remember that this happens in other places. By the time of *Tangled*, for example, the stories of Aurora, Belle, and Ariel had already been made into books^(2).
Last but not least, we know that the Walt Disney Company literally exists inside the Disney universe, because Ralph visits its website in *Ralph Breaks the Internet*.
There is someone keeping these stories alive, in a tradition that ends in the modern Disney Company, but begins at least as early as the early 19th century. I would argue, however, that it is much older.
**Rosas after Magnifico**
Let's move all the way back to the 15th century, to *Wish*. We see in *At All Cost* that Asha, to a degree, agrees with Magnifico: wishes are precious and beautiful things that can be easily destroyed in a harsh world. However, while Magnifico tries to keep the wishes locked up, and eventually consumes them, Asha comes to believe that people should seek their own dreams. For Asha, it is not as much protecting dreams, but nurturing them.
And that fits very well with her grandfather Sabino's wish: to inspire a generation. We find out in the post-credit scene that Sabino does that through a song: "When You Wish Upon a Star". Which is not only the Walt Disney Company theme song, but is also sang in-universe by Jiminy Cricket in the opening of *Pinocchio*.
So, to recap...
* After Magnífico is defeated, Asha, recently endowed as a fairy-godmother by Star, creates a secret society dedicated to protecting wishes: not by incarcerating them, but by inspiring the next generations of dreamers.
* This secret society does that by recording the stories of notable people throughout history as fairytales. They adopt Sabino's "When You Wish Upon a Star" as their hymn and secret sign.
* This society operates through fairy-godmothers like the ones from *Pinocchio* and *Cinderella*; through special agents, like Jiminy Cricket; and through human storytellers, charged with passing down the stories. These last ones are responsible for writing the books we see in *Pinocchio* and *Tangled*.
**The Wisher's Society A.D. (After Disney)**
This "Wisher's Society" still exist centuries later, even in the 20th Century, when magic almost disappeared from the world. The operative word here is "almost": we know fairy-godmothers are still active (as seen by the Wishing Star in *Princess and the Frog*)^(3), so we can suppose that at least some of the old members of the Wisher's remain.
One of the storytellers recruited to keep the stories alive is, of course, Walt Elias Disney himself. However, besides being a member of the Wisher's Society, he is also a member of Plus Ultra.
(If you don't remember Plus Ultra, it is the secret organization of artists and
fallout the mysterious stranger is an homage to mark twain's unfinished novel "number 44, the mysterious stranger"
Title basically. I don't want to spoil Twain's book here (which is by far his best work imo, even if he never finished it). But given the attributes of the mysterious stranger in game, and the fact that he carries a .44, I don't see how the character in the game could not be inspired by the title character from the novel.

Inside Out Riley's dad was in the military
His lead emotions are Fear and Anger. Sounds like someone who has been in life or death situations. The layout of his mind is also similar to a military war room and even has Fear and Anger both turning their keys for something more serious.
In the short where Riley goes on a date with a boy, we see a glimpse of what her dad was like when he was younger. He had longer hair and he was in a band. So he was kind of a hippie. But he's very straight laced and very much unlike a hippie by the film's present day. Nothing will snap you out of a hippie phase like joining the military.
Also, his haircut and facial hair. This one is iffy, because some men just like that style, but it does look like the hair style that a lot of veterans sport. High and tight hair with a trimmed mustache.
His wife, in in her head, says that she chose the dad over the Brazillian helicopter pilot. This implies they met in an exotic location. The military is (in)famous for picking up and marrying women in exotic locales.
Assuming the movie took place during the first movie's present, which was 2015, and Riley is 11/12, that means she was born in 2003/2004. So her dad would've been deployed during the war on terror after 9/11.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Dante(Tony Redgrave) could appear in a future Resident Evil movie
They took it back to 1998, the true time period up until 2004. Dante being involved in Resident Evil might seem like a stretch but I don’t think so.
We all know Dante was going to be in Resident Evil 4 aka “Biohazard 4” which was revamped into Devil May Cry(in 2001). But originally, Tony was a bioweapon and Mallet Island was tied to Umbrella. And he wasn’t exactly a demon hunter but a “cop” dressed in red with a submachine gun. It really makes sense.
Dante just got his own story and became popular on his own. The demonic madness separates it completely from Resident Evil but not really. DMC is literally a branch off/spin off of Resident Evil in the first place. And if we’re talking about timelines, the outbreak started in 1998, but Dante came on the scene in “2001”. I even theorized that the entire DMC franchise takes place years before the real outbreak even occurred. I’d said DMC5 was Dante and Nero slipping into the years 1998-2000 close to the outbreak. But it’s horseshit I know.
But that same DMC1 Dante(who was 28) could still fit and work in the current Resident Evil timeline(Welcome to Raccoon). He could be a mysterious cop or mercenary in red still wielding a SMG, possessing jawdropping skills similar to but better than Redfield’s boulder punch. Tony could be a very powerful bioweapon as opposed to any other lesser ones. The biotechnology seems more plausible for Dante in this situation because it could match the RE story anyway.
Tony being subject to experimentation at Umbrella, becoming a bioweapon and still having a “true form” due to just that could actually work. He doesn’t have to be a demon badass but still a strong superhuman with skills; the same skills we’ve always used while playing as him. Think about it, Tony could’ve been “supernatural” thanks to biotechnology. RE7 and RE8 proves that zombies aren’t the only thing around, hell the entire franchise proves it. Or if Tony still did wield a sword it could’ve been of mystic qualities indeed.
So yes, Dante could actually appear as Tony around the years 1998-2004. This Dante could align with the milieu of the late 90s, the current cast of RE and still be a young man, just like Chris.
Even in the DMC Novel, after Grue noticed Tony's boots were screwed from defeating the demons, Dante complains that he would have to replace them, since he finally had asked Claire out on a date. What other Claire is there? And she was already front and center in Raccoon City alongside her brother Chris.
They could go with a memory wipe for Tony. Now he doesn’t know where the sword really came from or why he’s such a badass using it. I mean, this is the only way to adapt a good Dante onscreen. It would look kind of silly with a demon man slicing and shooting the same scary demons(ghosts) we see in a typical ghost movie, although it works in cartoon form. It would be more realistic for Dante to make a live action appearance in Resident Evil rather than Devil May Cry itself.

My Hero Academia/One Piece One Piece May Be A Prequel To My Hero Academia
So the title might be confusing, but basically my theory is proving One Piece is the precursor to My Hero Academia. I have sifted through everything and anything of the two anime, and the evidence isn't staggering, but close to it.
First up, you are wondering how the powers in MHA compare to the Devil Fruits in OP. So if anyone remembers our Punk Hazard scientist Caesar Clown. I believe it is possible Caesar or Dr. Vegapunk had discovered a way to genetically imprint Devil Fruit powers into people. But maybe the experiment caused the powers to remain dormant until they were finally awakened, hence My Hero Academia's Beginning. But the Powers from the Devil Fruits may have genetically mutated into a different version of them.
Now, which MHA characters match their OP Ancestors? Here is the list, One Piece to MHA
Buggy to Setsuna Tokage
Bartolomeo to Hejiki Tengai
Burst/Enel to Katsuki Bakugo
Enel to Denki Kaminari
Shiryu to Toru Hagakure
Bentham to Himiko Toga
Shiki to Nana Shimura
Mansherry to Recovery Girl
Eustass Kid to Magne
Vander Decken to Itejiro Toteki
Wapol to Soramitsu Tabe
Senor Pink to Mudman
Fujitora to Ochaco Uraraka
Shinobu to Tomura Shigaraki
Foxy to Chronostasis
Doflamingo to Best Jeanist
Jesus Burgess to Muscular
Edward Newgate to Yo Shindo
Urouge to Fat Gum
Kaido to Ryukyu
Blackbeard to Vantablack
Sabo to Endeavor
Caesar Clown to Mustard
Aokiji to Rei, Endeavor's wife
Crocodile to Snatch
Chameleone to Neito Monoma
Usopp to Rikido Sato
Eldoraggo to Present Mic
Musshuru to Shemage
Apis to Koji Koda
Tanaka to Mirio Togata
Ideo to Izuku Midoriya
Now, some OP Characters are only mentioned due to the relation of their powers. But Enel, Usopp, and Ideo are Included due to facial similarities. Enel and Bakugo both share the shocked face, Usopp might actually be a direct ancestor to Sato, and Ideo might be another direct ancestor to Midoriya.
But I will allow you guys to be the judges of my offbrand MatPat theory. He would had a field day with this one...

Monster House (2006). The Monster House doesn't exists.
So I recently rewatched the cartoon "Monster House" and came to the conclusion that the Monster House does not exist at all. It would seem that we, as viewers, could see with our own eyes the embodiment of Constance Nebbercracker into something sinister in the form of a huge and evil house. However, we look from each character's point of view and how they personally see the world around them.
Remember, when you were little, you were also afraid of any rustle in your room, or you hid under the blanket, because “the ghosts under the bed would get you.” This is due to a certain stage of growing up and simply the individual characteristics of each child. Why I bring this up is that our main characters are children, or very early teenagers, who are frightened by an imaginary sinister house.
When parents or adults (for example, nanny Zee) see this ominous house with their own eyes, it immediately becomes an ordinary, old neightbor's house from their perspective.
"Okay, but what about our nanny's boyfriend (Bones), he's a young guy who naturally doesn't believe in childish nonsense like a Monster house, how come he was eaten by a monster?" - It's quite simple. He was drunk. You see, when a person is drunk, he tends to see and imagine all sorts of things that seem unreal. The same delirium tremens is an example of this, but I think simply because he was drunk it was enough to distort his reality.
“Let’s say in this case your theory is at least somehow plausible, but what do you say about the policemen, after all, they are grown men, how did the monster house ate them?” - First, let's look at the character of the first police officer Lister, he was introduced to us as some kind of shaking coward who perhaps just graduated from the police academy and became an assistant to another officer (more on him later). Personally, in my opinion, the creators of the cartoon wanted to show this hero with characteristic mental infantility. Because of this quality, he was somehow timid and was constantly “on duty” even if there's not danger. He was quite sensitive to everything...
"Okay, I'll accept this theory with a small probability, but what about Officer Landers, after all, he is a grown man and nothing wrong with his imagination, and it would seem that he was quite adequate as a police officer all the time? How did he get eaten by a monster house?" - Let me start with the fact that the main characters represented by DJ, Jenny and Chowder, before getting inside the monster house, they wanted to put it to sleep using “cough syrup”. Just before the “operation,” the police catch our heroes, and thus, during the arrest, our officer Landers tastes the syrup to understand what our guys are up to, so this medicine “makes him sleepy or intoxicates” a little and his imagination intensifies. After our officer gets a little drunk, the monster does its job.
“We have one more main character left, Nebbercracker, what do you say about him?” - Very simple: 1) Due to the fact that this character is quite old, old people are susceptible to delusions and hallucinations. 2) His love for Constance and the fact that he built a house with her and didn't want to let her go, despite the fact that the house represents Constance itself.
In general, here is a short theory, if you also have something to add, please share it in the comments.

King Of The Hill Theory
I just watched S3 E20. Basically it’s about Hank trying to get Bobby to like Arlen instead of Dallas so he’ll want to stay in Arlen when he grows up. At the end of the episode Bobby is talking about moving away to become a famous comedian but says that he’ll still keep a house in Texas to remember his roots. And this idea just hit me. What if the show if just memories that Bobby had with his dad Hank Hill who has recently died. It would make so much sense because Hank would never make a show about himself and his life and Hank is usually written as the hero in most episodes. Something that Bobby probably views him as. I’ve heard this theory before so I’m not taking credit. It just sounds really true to the show.

Parks and Recreation The "documentary" is April capturing video for the pit's website
So Parks and Recreation was intended as a spinoff of "The Office". Even though this plan was abandoned, they still use the central conceit of "The Office", that it is a documentary crew filming the employees of the parks department.
Except there is no way Ron Swanson would let a documentary crew film his department. So here's my theory. The "documentary" is actually April capturing video for the pit's website. Leslie mentions that she had April make a website for the Lot 48 project in like S1 E3. So, what if the "documentary" is just April capturing video to put on the website for the Lot 48 project.

Derry Girls/What We Do in the Shadows Uncle Colm is an energy vampire
In the What We Do in the Shadows universe, there are creatures called energy vampires. Vampires who don't drink blood but instead subsist on other people's energy. The most notable is Colin Robinson, who feeds on people's boredom. (They can feed on other emotions but boredom appears to be the main one). To evoke boredom from their prey, they tell meandering stories, perform menial and repetitive tasks, and wear drab/unfashionable clothing.
According to Colin, they're the most common type of vampire and most people know one. Energy vampires are also shown to not posses traits other vampires are known for. They cast reflections and can go in sunlight, allowing them to blend into human society easier than traditional vampires.
Who does this remind you of? That's right, Uncle Colm McCool from Derry Girls. His ability to bore people is impressive enough to make his own family avoid him at all costs. They even fall asleep while he's telling a story about being kidnapped by terrorists, something you would need to try and make dull. He even manages to keep entire crowds of strangers bored, yet they never leave or try and make him stop. Almost as if he's utilizing some sort of supernatural force.
Case closed, Colm McCool is an energy vampire.

Hot Fuzz The Chief Inspector had four reasons for sending Sergeant Nicholas Angel to Sandford
1. The stated reason- Sgt. Angel was making everybody else in the Met look bad by being such a relentless supercop.
2. At some point, the Chief Inspector had encountered Inspector Frank Butterman, most likely at one of the regular conferences of the National Chief Constable's Council. CI Butterman was likely a smug asshole about Sandford's non-existent crime rates as the perfect village. The Met Chief Inspector remembered this, and decided to put some dirt in CI Butterman's eye by sending the ultimate by-the-book asshole (Sgt. Angel)- thus inflaming two buttocks with one swift kick.
3. He remembered SCO 19 (which handles armed response and also attempts to trace the black markets in guns) having some big 'question mark' mysteries about powerful arms vanishing in Gloucestershire. Maybe Sgt. Angel could make himself useful and track down a few weapons that GCHQ and SCO 19 were trying to account for. The NWA had not been as subtle as they believed themselves to be.
4. The Met Chief Inspector was stung by Butterman's humblebrag, and then later a Scotland Yard analyst mentioned a curious demographic anomaly of Gloucestershire- the extremely high rate of missing persons reports relating to buskers, travelers, and other low class persons.
Now, I'm not saying that the Chief Inspector necessarily suspected that the Neighborhood Watch Alliance was a murder cult. Maybe he just thought there was an undetected Yorkshire Ripper serial killer in the region. But sending Sergeant Nicholas Angel, the uncorruptible supercop, would be the perfect way to expose the laxity or ommissions of some arrogant country bumpkin Chief Inspector.
In other words, Nicholas Angel was a pawn, sent to repay a grudge against an annoying work colleague, who succeeded far beyond what the Chief Inspector expected him to do to the Sandford Constabulary.

Beetlejuice Betelgeuse caused the Dancing Plague of 1518
(Sorry if this technically breaks rule 3, but this was too perfect not to post)
The Dancing Plague of 1518 was a real life event where 50 to 400 people would spontaneously start dancing in Strasbourg in the months of July to September
The famous Dinner Party Scene also shows spontaneous dancing
Beetlejuice mentions having lived through the Black Plague, which occurred from 1346 to 1353, and the word 'Lived' implies he was still alive at that point in time, so It's possible he would have been a ghost by the time of 1518,
An event in which 100 people died from months of nonstop dancing just seems like the sort of thing he'd do, it fits that sort of dark comedy tone of the movie perfectly

While the rest of Plus Ultra was mostly focused on saving the world through technology, Walt's vision was to unify the technology of the future with the magic from the past. That vision is expressed in his original Disneyland, where both Fantasyland and Futureland are present.
However, Walt died in 1966. We know that in the two decades that followed, Plus Ultra moved away not just from any kind of magic, but from human society in general, closing up project Tomorrowland. And since the balance between magic and technology was never achieved, the spirits of nature, inactive since the 1900s, eventually woke up and destroyed the world in a great cataclysm, the same one that was being predicted by the Monitor in *Tomorrowland*.^(4)

Godzilla Earth King Ghidorah is The King in Yellow.
So King Ghidorah is seen in many different variations across the Godzilla franchise. One of these versions of him is called Void Ghidorah, who enters the world through a process that involves non-Euclidean geometry. I think that given this Lovecraftian entrance and appearance of him it shows that Ghidorah is an avatar for the King in Yellow. The different versions of Ghidorah that we see in the different eras of Godzilla are simply the King in Yellow trying to prevent Godzilla from entering his domain on a multiversal level. We know Godzilla is capable of this due to the existence of Space Godzilla and the fact that he has killed the greek gods in the comic books, so be poses a threat to the divine.

In the Black ops Timeline, Coca-cola got hold of the Juggernog recipe and the reason Perks are so expensive is because points are way less than their dollar amount
Coke and Pepsi have been at it for the better part of 70 years at this point and when word of a zombie outbreak came through the wire, Coke decided to one up Pepsi and patent the recipe for Juggernog, This is why the Juggernog machine is red and white and not blue and white like pepsi. So when people start fighting off zombies and need aid, numerous soda companies start cashing in on the opportunity. Mexican breweries start manufacturing Mule Kick, Texas becomes the proud distributor of Double tap, Night clubs serve both PHD Flopper and Stamina-up while companies that originally made slushies instead come up with Who's Who.
Unfortunately, due to the economic downturn (Remember, Zombies), the purchasing power of the dollar goes WAY down, so 2500 points is the equivalent of $2 and not $25 as it should be. Taking note that the only way to make cash is to kill zombies, the government seizes the pack a punch machine designs and starts building them in Alcatraz (MOTD), Germany (Der Reise) and other areas as needed (Every custom map ever made) to ward off the infection but due to the outbreak, fifty k is too high. The government can't fix the situation because pro-zombie voters want the outbreak to continue (Black market most likely). It only causes more problems until things culminate with Moon, at which point, the government, the citizens and the economy go up in flames (Tranzit)
Following the timeline diversion in Black ops 3, the other timeline (now separate from the original disaster) is unaware of the issue as WWI is still ongoing. Due to the meddling of Ultimis, the Outbreak gets started again, only this time, the world is ready. By the time the 1920's roll around, zombie killing is pretty much standard. No one cares about Samantha or Maxis, they just want to survive and companies like Coke are more than willing to provide. In this timeline, the dollar amount remains the same but by the time of Origins, goes back to Ultimis levels.

John Carpenter’s Ghost Of Mars Desolation was immune to possession
I know that Melanie and Desolation were the only survivors by the end of the movie but that’s only because Melanie was smart and Desolation was “immune” to demonic possession. The only reason Melanie didn’t stay possessed is because of the pill she ingested. And this is funny because this isn’t the first time I’ve witnessed drugs repelling demons; Carpenter was definitely on to something.
But back to Desolation. I say he was immune to demonic possession because he was just that tough. He didn’t fear as much as the others around him did. He didn’t care of the consequences that would ever arise which is why he did what he did throughout the movie. His role is basically that of Plissken, which is to basically not die. He DID save Melanie a couple of times also(showcasing some sort of heroism in Desolation) and still managed to make it through the movie safe and sound and practically unscathed.
This is just another John Carpenter movie with a tough guy in a black sleeveless shirt. One of the motifs that show up now and again in Carpenter’s movies is the tough guy in a black sleeveless shirt. Assault On Precinct had one, and he was the one who shot the little girl with the ice cream.
Plissken(Russell) wore one in Escape From New York, and you could tell he was tough. But the man who wore one this time was Ice Cube, and he’s certainly tough in this movie, with all his profanity, mugging and gunplay. Williams was really suppose to be Plissken in the first place.
Desolation not fearing as much as the others around him can be backed by his brother being possessed in a quick fashion. Uno(Davis), Desolation’s brother, was probably the most petrified out of the entire crew(everyone). He talked tough and was indeed a tough guy as well but in the end he was possessed, helpless and defenseless. He was relentless in staying alive and protecting his crew and Desolation, but in reality he was scared, actually fearing the ghosts. It’s still ironic how that happened to him.
I mean, Uno DID witness the ghosts true forms so I could see him actually being frightened from them. He even watched the miners convert(transform) into the demons they had to fight.
There was even gab from Desolation about the ghosts seemingly being after him since he was born. He told Melanie he’ll die fighting, not running. That just correlates to my theory. If he always had that mindset, then the demons couldn’t and wouldn’t really want to touch him. I mean they can’t. Desolation probably would’ve rejected the demon anyway because of how tough he was.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City Dante(Tony Redgrave) could appear in a future Resident Evil movie
They did take it back to 1998, the true time period up until 2004. Dante being involved in Resident Evil might seem like a stretch but I don’t think so.
We all know Dante was going to be in Resident Evil 4 aka “Biohazard 4” which was revamped into Devil May Cry(in 2001). But originally, Tony was a bioweapon and Mallet Island was tied to Umbrella. And he wasn’t exactly a demon hunter but a “cop” dressed in red with a submachine gun. It really makes sense.
Dante just got his own story and became popular on his own. The demonic madness separates it completely from Resident Evil but not really. DMC is literally a branch off/spin off of Resident Evil in the first place. And if we’re talking about timelines, the outbreak started in 1998, but Dante came on the scene in “2001”. I even theorized that the entire DMC franchise takes place years before the real outbreak even occurred. I’d said DMC5 was Dante and Nero slipping into the years 1998-2000 close to the outbreak. But it’s horseshit I know.
But that same DMC1 Dante(who was 28) could still fit and work in the current Resident Evil timeline(Welcome to Raccoon). He could be a mysterious cop or mercenary in red still wielding a SMG, possessing jawdropping skills similar to but better than Redfield’s boulder punch. Tony could be a very powerful bioweapon as opposed to any other lesser ones. The biotechnology seems more plausible for Dante in this situation because it could match the RE story anyway.
Tony being subject to experimentation at Umbrella, becoming a bioweapon and still having a “true form” due to just that could actually work. He doesn’t have to be a demon badass but still a strong superhuman with skills; the same skills we’ve always used while playing as him. Think about it, Tony could’ve been “supernatural” thanks to biotechnology. RE7 and RE8 proves that zombies aren’t the only thing around, hell the entire franchise proves it. Or if Tony still did wield a sword it could’ve been of mystic qualities indeed.
So yes, Dante could actually appear as Tony around the years 1998-2004. This Dante could align with the milieu of the late 90s, the current cast of RE and still be a young man, just like Chris.
Even in the DMC Novel, after Grue noticed Tony's boots were screwed from defeating the demons, Dante complains that he would have to replace them, since he finally had asked Claire out on a date. What other Claire is there? And she was already front and center in Raccoon City alongside her Brother Chris.
They could go with a memory wipe for Tony. Now he doesn’t know where the sword really came from or why he’s such a badass using it. I mean, this is the only way to adapt a good Dante onscreen. It would look kind of silly with a man slicing and shooting the same scary demons(ghosts) we see in a typical ghost movie, although it works in cartoon form. It would be more realistic for Dante to make a live action appearance in Resident Evil rather than Devil May Cry itself.

Heroin Bob was just really dehydrated and that's why his head hurt. (SLC PUNK)
Then tragically he took some pills that combined with the alcohol ended up killing him. All the needed for relief of his headache was a glass of water.

Is it cringe if I want to be credited for my theory?
So I posted a theory on a fandom last year, and just this week, someone else posted it and claimed it as theirs and had thought of it way before I posted mine. Now people praise them for having a pretty interesting theory but it really hurts me that they didnt credit me. They liked all comments except mine when I commented "this is like the theory I posted a year ago".
My theory was if a character was based on Mozart and I stated everything I know about him because I'm a huge Mozart fan. Before I joined that fandom, people thought the character was based on Chopin, but because I know Mozart a lot, i posted that theory. I find it impossible that the person who posted my theory as theirs is a Mozart fan too but if not, it's impossible that they know all those details without referencing my theory first. Do I deserve credit or is the theory just theirs now? I feel like I shouldn't but it feels the same as writing an essay and a classmate steals it and gets the points.

The movie 2001: A Space Odyssey is a film about Gnostisicm and like The Matrix might be telling a similar story about ascending out of an illusory reality
This theory is an article I wrote last year and wanted to share it. It is far too long to copy and paste it all here: https://chipstero7.wordpress.com/2023/03/01/a-gnostic-interpretation-of-2001-a-space-odyssey/
Quote from first part:
>The movie 2001 was a remarkable technical achievement with cinematography that still stands out today as being quite amazing. It was a collaboration between Arthur Clarke and Stanley Kubrick, with Clarke writing the novel and Kubrick directing the movie. Both were in development simultaneously, with the release of the movie preceding the novel. 2001 is somewhat ambiguous and will lead you on a phantasmagorical trip around the universe and up the garden path until your mind is lost in complete confusion. While of all Kubrick’s movies are complex and multilayered, 2001 is perhaps the most multilayered and enigmatic of all, mainly because Kubrick consistently refused to provide anything close to an explanation. Because of the unusual style of narration and deep philosophical nature, 2001 offers a number of possible explanations. However, nobody has ever truly revealed what 2001 ‘means’; philosophers, artists, and even scientists have all attempted to interpret the movie to their own whims and ideologies and all have lacked the framework to explain the nuances of 2001. So, I decided to throw my own hat into the ring and give my interpretation — drawing inspiration from the likes of Wal Thornhill. On the basis of my interpretation below, I would argue that 2001 presents something of a two-hour crash course into Nietzscheism as well as exploring themes that include salvation of the soul, Paleo-SETI, human evolution, and escaping an illusion in the same vein as the Wachowski’s The Matrix.

Fallout/The Elder Scrolls A wastelander is the god head
To start off, this isn't a particularly serious theory, and more so something I thought sounded kinda cool.
For those unfamiliar with the lore of The Elder Scrolls series, the universe of TES is the dream of a being called the god head. We the player don't know who/what the god head is, and for all we know it's just Todd Howard.
I recently had the thought what if the god head is someone living in the wastelands of Fallout. I mean TES and Fallout are both owned by Bethesda, so it would be kind of a cool way to connect them. The universe of TES, would be a nice distraction from the horrifying reality of life in the wasteland, that would help to keep this wastelander sane.
Again this isn't really a serious theory, and my evidence(if you can call it that) is pretty weak, but it does sound kinda cool, right?

Star Trek Resurgence is loosely based on Brian Fuller's early ideas for Star Trek Discovery
Can't help myself entertaining this thought, because of how much the heroes journey of the main character resembles Burnham's and also how the captain in this game turns out to be an alien infiltrator similar to Lorca, because of his possession by the Tkon.
There was also talk about about the show being about an historic event in the Star Trek universe, that was hinted at before, but we never got to see.
Discovery originally may have been supposed to be about the first discovery of archaeological remains of the Tkon Empire and the implications, during the 23rd century.
I think it's possible that the producers of the game simply changed parts of the story for being set in the 24th century.

X-Men The X-Gene responds to Caesium-137
The X-Men are a group of superheroes who were born with their powers as a result of genetic mutations. Originally the plan was that they were the "Children of the Atom". That the first mutants appeared after WWII as a result of experiments with radiation.
This plan was quickly scrapped, and we ended up getting characters like Wolverine, who'd been a mutant for 200 years, and Apocalypse, who's 9,000 years old. But the comics still treat mutants being common as a recent phenomenon. And I think the atom bombs did have an effect on them.
Each mutant has an "X-Gene", the bit of DNA that gives them their powers. I think the X-Gene itself has been around at least as long as Apocalypse, if not longer. But most people born with it never manifested any powers. Mutants like Wolverine needed both the X-Gene and some other quirk of biology to get powers.
But in the mid 20th century mankind discovered nuclear fission, and released a lot of Caesium-137 into the atmosphere. Caesium-137 is a radioactive metal that is found very rarely in nature. Uranium sometimes generates minuscule amounts for it. But you can date things like paintings or fine wines to before the 20th century by checking if they contain this isotope.
It's something that was simply unheard of in the past. But is found everywhere now.
Before the 20th century no one with the X-Gene would have come into contact with Caesium. But you and I are in contact with it right now. So what if that's what triggered a boom in mutants?
Something about Caesium-137 and the radiation it emits interacts with the X-Gene. Lowers the threshold for actually getting powers, instead of the gene lying dormant.
For most of history you had small, isolated mutant populations. The occasional ghost story or cryptic. But once science covered the entire world with a radioactive isotope , you suddenly had enough mutants that they could form their own country.
