(Predators 2010) Isabella is Dutch's daughter.
In Predators the character of Isabella is an Israeli sniper. Upon first seeing the tied-up Predator Isabella looks down and begins thinking, prompting Royce to suspect she knows something about them. A couple of scenes later, Royce gets Isabella to confess she knows what the Predators are, prompting Isabella to say the following:
"We don't have a name for them. '87, Guatemala. A spec ops team went into the jungle. High end. Six men plus a CIA liaison. Only one made it out. In his debrief, he said they came in contact with something. He gave a detailed description. The thing on the totem. It wore some kind of camouflage that adjusted to ambient light. Made it nearly invisible in our spectrum. It could see in infrared. Heat signatures. He used mud to block his. That's how he beat it. It hunted and killed his team, one by one."
Here's the problem - she's just a sniper on the team. She's not special forces, or in a high rank. Why on Earth would such sensitive information that could change the way humanity exists be given to her ? She knows way too damn much for a sniper. The only way this makes sense is if she is Dutch daughter. She was probably already
born before Predator took place in 1987 because her character is around 28 in Predators - which means she was born in 1981.
Also note she says "He said he came in contact with something, and He gave a detailed description." If she found out about this via third party, after the fact, she would have said "They told us he came in contact with something." She uses first person because it was her father, Dutch, telling her this first hand.
It's clear that Dutch has a kid and in time tells that child what happened to him and his men. This child is Isabella, and she follows her father's footsteps and perhaps her mother is Jewish which is why she had dual citizenship with Israel and made her way to a sniper with the IDF. It is also why she was chosen - she is Dutch's daughter and a high value mark for the Predators !

Inglorious Basterds Aldo Raine is Tristan Ludlow: A Brad Pitt Cinematic Universe Theory
What if Aldo Raine (Inglourious Basterds) and Tristan Ludlow (Legends of the Fall) are actually connected? Both characters, played by Brad Pitt, share intriguing parallels that could suggest more than coincidence. My theory? Brad Pitt drew inspiration from Tristan when crafting Aldo, and Quentin Tarantino, ever the visionary, went along with it because it didn’t interfere with the story. Let me break it down for you:
The Name Connection
• Aldo Raine: The name itself feels loaded. “Aldo” comes from the German word Alt, meaning “old,” while “Raine” might link to the Old French word for “frog,” a nickname for the French. While I don’t have much to back the significance of his last name, it’s worth noting Aldo is the only non-Jewish member of the Inglourious Basterds. His nickname, “The Apache,” hints strongly at Native American ties.
• Tristan Ludlow: Tristan, the son of Colonel Ludlow, is raised by One Stab, a Cree elder and warrior. One Stab sees Tristan as a wild, untamable spirit destined to become either a legend or a madman. Sound familiar? His Native American upbringing and connection to scalping directly align with Aldo’s methods and nickname.
Tristan’s Journey in Legends of the Fall
• WWI Transformation: Tristan goes to war in 1914 with his brothers. After witnessing his younger brother Samuel’s horrific death (barbed wire, gas, machine guns), Tristan snaps. He curses God and descends into a feral state, hunting Germans guerrilla-style and scalping his victims. Sound like Aldo Raine yet?
• Post-War Life: After the war, Tristan travels the world before becoming a bootlegger. He gets involved with dangerous criminals, and when his wife is killed, he takes revenge in a bloody climax. To protect his family, he disappears into the wilderness, where he lives as a hunter until his death in the 1960s.
The Case for Tristan Becoming Aldo Raine
• Recruitment for Operation Kino: Tristan’s violent legend from WWI could have caught the attention of the U.S. military. His hatred for Germans and experience with scalping make him a perfect candidate to lead the Basterds.
• The Apache Nickname: Aldo’s nickname could be a direct callback to Tristan’s Cree upbringing and One Stab’s influence.
• The Scar: Aldo’s prominent neck scar is never explained. Could it tie back to Tristan’s untold past—perhaps a near-execution after the events of Legends of the Fall?
Thematic Parallels
• Family and Loyalty: Both Tristan and Aldo are driven by loyalty—Tristan to his brother Samuel and Aldo to his team of Basterds. Both operate in morally gray areas, using horrific violence in service of what they see as a just cause.
• Code of Violence: Tristan scalps Germans in WWI; Aldo demands “100 Nazi scalps.” For both, violence becomes a psychological weapon as much as a physical one.
• Madness and Charisma: Both characters have a wild charisma that draws others to them, but both are haunted by personal loss. Tristan’s descent after Samuel’s death mirrors Aldo’s relentless brutality.
Historical and Cinematic Parallels
• Prohibition Era: Tristan’s time as a bootlegger could have put him on the radar of underground networks or military contacts, eventually leading to his recruitment for Operation Kino.
• Tarantino’s Touch: Quentin Tarantino loves tying his characters and worlds together (The Hateful Eight → Django Unchained). It’s entirely plausible he recognized Brad Pitt’s choice to channel Tristan into Aldo and rolled with it, adding depth without distracting from the movie’s core narrative.
What Happens After the War?
After Operation Kino, Aldo/Tristan could have been granted a clean slate. Alienated from his family and unable to reintegrate into society, he might have retreated into the wilderness, living out his final years as Tristan Ludlow and ultimately meeting his end in the bear attack recounted in Legends of the Fall.
Final Thoughts
I believe Brad Pitt used his portrayal of Tristan Ludlow as a foundation for Aldo Raine’s
Heretic truth
YOU ALL MISSED THE POINT.
control, is the one true religion. The director is God, and has put before us a choice. Belief or disbelief, did she die and it was a simulation or did she in fact make it, the film and it's characters are not the challenge to simulation, it's us. They are taking notes on US.

Die Hard The Events of Nakatomi Plaza was an inside job!
I was thinking about it this morning in the Shower, and had a thought, one could say, a shower thought....
Nakatomi Plaza was an inside job!!!!!
Quick Recap:
For those who don't know about the events that transpired on the evening December 24th, 1988. Here is a brief recap. What started as a wonderful Christmas Party celebrating the success of the Nakatomi Corporation for the last year, quickly turned in to a horror show.
11 foreigners and 2 US citizens went to Nakatomi Plaza to withdraw some money. All 13 ended up dead, as well as two hostages, two security guards, two FBI agents, four helicopter crewmen, and a couple of LA police & SWAT team members. Numerous LA Police Officers and SWAT team members were shot or injured, and one dickless reporter was also injured.
Now, Why do I believe the events of Nakatomi Plaza were an inside job.
Think about it. In 1988 the internet wasn't like it was today. There was no social media. Email was very limited, instant messaging even more so.
So how did the 11 foreign nationalist and 2 US Citizens, know that there was going to be a Christmas party? Also, How did they know the vault had 7 locks, with one of the locks being a magnetic time lock that would require the power to be cut. They also had pretty extensive knowledge of the building layout knowing exactly where to cut the lines, wire the top floor, etc.
Enter, our insider.... Harry Ellis. While he may not have been the mastermind, he was the lynch pin to the WHOLE thing.
Facts we know about Harry Ellis.
1.) Very Egotistic
2.) Very materialistic
3.) Known Drug User
4.) In charge of International Development
We also know, that around the Holidays, he appears to get "depressed" as Holly Gennero McClane mentioned. Because "He THOUGHT he was God's Greatest gift. THOUGHT, past tense. To me this indicates something happened in Ellis life recently that could indicate he has fallen on hard times.
So if Ellis fell on hard times and wasn't make the sales like he was and appears to be outshined by a women, (To quote Takagi "She was made for the business. Tough as nails."), that Ellis needed to turn to something else to help fund his materialistic life style. Ellis had to be getting his cocaine from someone, he probably couldn't buy anymore. Because Ellis was in charge of International Development, he would travel a lot to various foreign country. It was on one of these trips, he meet Hans Gruber. Hans saw an opportunity to score a major payday and Ellis saw a way to continue to fund his Drug Habit. So a partnership was formed. Ellis would feed information to Hans.
Fast forward to Dec 24th, The night of the Big Christmas Party. Ellis knew that Hans and his team would be accessing the vault. He plays along with the whole "hostage" situation. It's why he felt safe approaching Hans, and why he tried to get John McClane stand down and let the Police/FBI handle the situation, knowing that the FBI will cut the power releasing the final lock on the vault.
However, there was a snag in this plan. Hans is not really a team player. He didn't trust Ellis, he saw Ellis as a wildcard and someone who very easily could flip and spill the beans. Thus, when Ellis play acted that Hans was going to kill him, Hans took the opportunity to remove Ellis from the board, and possibly also get "Roy" a.k.a John McClane to stand down. Of course, this didn't happen and John proceed to pick off each of the foreign nationalist one by one, eventually leading to a confrontation where Hans is dropped from the 30th floor of Nakatomi Plaza.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!

Que es realmente el monstruo de Cloverfield una criatura mutante?
Si todos vieron la película Cloverfield del 2008 muchos de ustedes sabrán que la ciudad de Nueva York es atacada por un monstruo desesperado por encontrar a su madre ya que está en una crisis de separación y está completamente loco por encontrar a su madre aun que una de mis dudas es que es el monstruo? Un alienígena o una criatura mutante? Así que vine a teorizar sobre que es el monstruo.
Para empezar a teorizar tomare lo que se vio en la película y tomaré lo que se vio caer al final de la película así que comenzamos, para empezar en el final de la película se ve algo caer del cielo, lo cual pensé yo que podía ser el monstruo, pero ahora que lo pienso bien podía ser la nave de Cloverfield Paradox, ya se que la de Cloverfield Paradox ocurre en otro dimensión sin embargo lo de la otra dimensión no cuenta, así que se puede dejar pasar. Cuando todos salen de la fiesta de despedida de Rob, y después de esconderse de la niebla que ocurre, alguien le muestra una grabación la cual, no nos la muestra pero todas las personas presentes se ven asustadas, de lo que vieron así que se puede decir que el monstruo es animal de laboratorio que mutó, aún que no estoy seguro de estoy y se puede dejar pasar.
También en la parte en la que Rob y Beth, están en un tren antes de que podemos, ver que la cámara se da vuelta dándonos un paisaje en la que no se ve nada, sin embargo si ustedes quieren y pueden ver la escena en la película y me dice lo qué vieron.
Los Parásitos que se ven en la película podían ser realmente una parte de la mutación de la criatura y que estos provengan, de la criatura y que la criatura los expulse, también explica la resistencia a las balas y por qué las balas que le lanzó un avíon de guerra, y esto por la resistencia del monstruo, y por último tomare en cuenta la película de Cloverfield Paradox específicamente el final de la película.
En donde sale un monstruo similar al de la primera pero más grande lo cual podría realmente otra de esas criaturas mutadas y no un alien como muchos creen.

Vanilla Sky David never actually loved Sophia
Spoilers included***I wrote a 3 page doc breaking this all down as i followed the thread but I'll summarize as best as i can here.
David's connection with Sophia is mainly him confusing infatuation with love. After going through the traumatic crash, his night with Sophia is the last good thing that happened before his whole life was ruined and so he associates her with happiness/a time when his life was still good. After the crash he's so insecure and vulnerable that he just wants to feel connected to someone and Sophia is the last woman in his life who may still have feelings for him, she also may be the first instance he's faced of wanting a woman who may not want him back, and that heightens the feelings of desire he has.
The version of Sophia that he dreams about for 150 years isn't actually Sophia, it's just his own personal idea of the ideal woman wrapped up in a Sophia suit. He only met the real Sophia twice which means he never knew her well enough to accurately imagine what a relationship with her would have been like.
As for the One great night they spent together, Davids narration of that night is coming from how he recalls it after spending 150 years dreaming of the idealized version of her. In actual fact, based on what we know there's not much reason to believe that the night they spent together was any different from any of Davids many other hookups. He claims the "pleasure delaying" that stops him from making a move on her is something he does with every woman he wants to hook up with meaning that it's nothing special in her case. Even when he leaves and sees Julianna, she accurately guesses the kind of banter they had all night and the fact that they didn't have sex, which means that the one "special night" with Sophia may have been very similar to his first night with Julianna. Oh yeah there's also the fact that he gets into the car to go hook up with Julianna right after leaving his "true loves" home, despite the fact that Julianna had clearly stalked him there.
TBH i think that his initial draw to Sophia wasn't love at first sight, I think David just gets off on reminding Brian that every girl he has to try his hardest to get is a girl that David can have with ease. I think he feeds off Brians envy and uses it as a sort of loyalty test. David can't trust that the people in his life truly love him, this includes Brian, so he casually bangs every girl that Brian is into to see if he'll still be his friend as a way to subside his insecurities around being alone.
So to sum up. David didn't find true love and instantly lose it to his own hubris, he just never knew what love was to begin with. That's why he had to craft a whole fantasy around what he thought love was and then based it all on popculture, movies and music. Also he's a dick for how he treats Brian. The end.

An Alternate Continuation of Game of Thrones: Exploring Redemption, Legacy, and the Real Long Night
Like many of you, I’ve been haunted by the way Game of Thrones ended. It felt rushed, unearned, and left so many questions unanswered. The rich world of Westeros deserved more time to let its characters, themes, and mysteries breathe. What follows is my vision of how the story could continue—a narrative that builds on the groundwork of the series while taking it to new heights.
---
Daenerys Targaryen: Rebirth in Fire
Imagine this: Drogon carries Daenerys' lifeless body away from King's Landing. But instead of flying to some distant, unknown place, he returns to the ruins of Old Valyria—a hauntingly beautiful, decaying city that still whispers of its once-mighty dragonlords. There, Drogon does the impossible. With a breath of his fiery magic, he resurrects Daenerys, a fitting echo of her Targaryen lineage.
Daenerys awakens changed—scarred by death and the weight of her choices. She spends time in Old Valyria, facing not only the physical dangers of the Stone Men but also the ghosts of her ancestors and visions of her former self. This time in isolation becomes her crucible, forcing her to confront her ambition, her rage, and the ideals that once drove her. Does she still believe in “breaking the wheel,” or has her vision of power evolved?
---
Jon Snow: A Broken Man in the Far North
Meanwhile, Jon Snow lives among the Wildlings beyond the Wall, a shadow of his former self. Killing Daenerys has left him wracked with guilt and purposelessness. He isolates himself, allowing the unforgiving wilderness to punish him for his actions.
Jon becomes a darker figure, almost unrecognizable, until Daenerys reenters his life. She arrives on Drogon, full of rage and thirsting for revenge. Their confrontation is explosive—Daenerys sees Jon as a traitor, while Jon sees himself as a murderer unworthy of redemption. But something extraordinary happens: Drogon, an intelligent creature, refuses to harm Jon, sensing his Targaryen blood and understanding his torment.
This sparks an uneasy, gradual reconciliation between Jon and Daenerys, their shared love and pain creating a fragile bond. Together, they begin uncovering an ancient Targaryen secret: the realm’s safety depends on a Targaryen ruler guarding it in times of great peril.
---
Sansa Stark: The Northern Queen and Her Kingdom
In Winterfell, Sansa has turned the North into a thriving, independent kingdom. A time skip reveals the North transformed—its infrastructure rebuilt, its cities flourishing, and its people stronger than ever. But with Sansa as the last Stark ruler, political tensions arise. Northern lords vie for power, proposing alliances and marriages to claim the seat of the North.
Sansa, determined to remain independent and true to herself, faces pressure from all sides. Even as she struggles to maintain unity among her people, whispers of a new threat beyond the Wall begin to reach her ears, forcing her to confront the precarious balance between peace and survival.
---
Arya Stark: West of Westeros
Far away, Arya sails into uncharted waters. She discovers vibrant, new civilizations untouched by Westerosi influence, rich with their own myths and conflicts. These lands introduce new challenges for Arya, forcing her to navigate moral dilemmas and question her identity as a Stark.
Her journey isn’t just an adventure—it’s a discovery of secrets that could ripple back to Westeros. Perhaps she finds remnants of the ancient Valyrian empire, a connection to the origins of dragons, or even clues about the Children of the Forest and their ultimate intentions.
---
Children of the Forest: Villains or Victims?
The biggest revelation comes in the form of the Children of the Forest. Far from the peaceful beings we thought them to be, they are revealed as the masterminds behind the creation of the White Walkers—not just as weapons of war, but as tools for their survival against humanity.
In a dark, mystical realm untouched by time, the Children are creating a new army
Kendrick Lamar TV Off was Written to Play at the Super Bowl
Basically, I bet Kendrick will play the middle section of the song (the segment with the presidential beat, between the two times he shouts MUSTARD!) at the Super Bowl, immediately followed by Not Like Us.
Many have noted the overt similarities between Not Like Us and the first beat used in TV Off - it’s very easy to imagine transitioning between the beats. The middle section of TV Off references New Orleans, Pass Interference, and being on TV. It’s also basically clean, and doesn’t need to be edited much to play on TV.
But the real fun part.
“People acting bad, but somebody got to do it. Put my foot up on the gas but somebody got to do it.”
What’s he doing?
He repeats 8 times: “Turn His TV Off.” Who’s TV? Why turn it off?
“Ain't no other king in this rap thing, they siblings. Nothing but my children, one shot, they disappearing.”
Could be a veiled shot at Drake.
“I’m prophetic, they only talk about it, how I get it. Only good for saving face, seen the cosmetics. How many heads I got to take to level up my aesthetics.”
He’s calling his shot on something. ‘Cosmetics’ could easily be a Drake diss. He’s also answering his own question - he took one head, and he gets the Super Bowl.
“He ran out of luck as soon as I upped the highest metric.”
That’s pretty clear.
So my thought: He’s warning DRAKE to turn his TV Off. Why? Because he’s about to call him a pedophile during the Super Bowl.
How do I know? Because he ends the section requesting Not Like Us. “MUSTAAAARD!”

Galaxy Quest As an In-Universe explanation, the ship dubbed Sigourney Weaver's "Well screw that!" line over when she clearly swore during the Chompers scene.
Here's a clip of the scene where Jason(Tim Allen) and Gwen(Sigourney Weaver) come upon The Chompers and Brandon(Justin Long) explains that they need to go through them to get to the Omega-13, and you can clearly see Gwen's face as she exclaims "Fuck that!" but the audio is "Well screw that!" - my own speculation is that the ship dubbed over Gwen's profanity with that tamer line, as the Thermians would have noticed similar dubbings in the "Historical Documents" and would unintentionally set it up in the ship. Just as the Omega-13 is powerful enough to >!turn back time briefly!<, it isn't too far a stretch to assume The Protector had those capabilities.
I know that the Director had mentioned that the studio requested that that line should be dubbed over for a PG rating, but I'd like to think of this as an in-universe explanation for that moment.

@r_fantheories
he’s never tasted life before is because he has been dead for a very long time, possibly hundreds or thousands of years. But time behaves differently when you are dead, meaning that to any living person, only 14 years have passed between 2006 and 2019. But to Beetlejuice, a substantial number of years have gone by. He has been dead for so long that he has forgotten the experience of living. Another possibility is that he got so wrapped up in his afterlife that he developed amnesia and forgot about his previous life as Dewey Finn.
But deep down, there are still traces of Dewey left, such as his love for rock and roll music, his bombastic/hyperactive personality, his immaturity, and his desire to be seen by others. BJ may not remember the people from his previous life, but he still longs to fill the void in his heart. Perhaps on a subconscious level, Beetlejuice feels that a part of him is missing and that he must get it back. This is the reason why he sets his eyes on the Maitlands, specifically Adam, who reminds him of his former best friend Ned Schneebly due to his dorky personality. He makes him feel secure and loved again until he later meets Lydia Deetz.
Back when he was alive, Dewey had a crush on Ned but was afraid of revealing his feelings to him out of fear of potentially ruining their friendship. But when he meets Adam Maitland as a ghost, Beetlejuice subconsciously sees his former best friend/crush in him, resulting in him making repeated sexual advances towards Adam throughout the show. Barbara also resembles Ned’s girlfriend, Patty, further solidifying BJ’s attachment to her and her husband.
Evidence
Based on the show’s technology, architecture, and pop culture references, School of Rock: The Musical takes place in the Fall of 2006. By contrast, Beetlejuice: The Musical takes place in the summer of 2019, making the two shows set 14 years apart from each other. Both shows also take place in New York, with the former being in the city, and the latter being the rich suburbs. If this time gap is accurate, it is a good amount of time for Dewey’s death to take a toll on him and eventually become nihilistic and resentful towards life.
When you look at both Dewey Finn and Beetlejuice, they share a surprising amount of similarities, with the most obvious being that they are both portrayed by Alex Brightman. But things go much deeper than that…
1. Both characters have a strong desire to be seen by others, with Dewey wanting to be recognized for his musical talents, and Beetlejuice wanting to be physically visible to the living and to experience the joys of life.
1. They are both loud, extroverted, and boisterous men with a tendency to behave in an unorthodox manner. Dewey and BJ often struggle with reading social cues. In School of Rock, this occurs when Dewey touches one of the other teachers on the cheek while reminding him about the importance of educating the next generation despite the teacher finding this gesture odd when he first greets Miss Mullins by doing a hip-high five despite it being unconventional for this type of interaction, and when he spits water in a teacher’s face upon hearing Miss Mullins bring up Parents Night. By comparison, Beetlejuice’s failure to read the room comes at the expense of other characters. He repeatedly makes sexual advances on Adam Maitland despite him being grossed out, recounts a time when he had sex with Katherine Hepburn despite the Maitlands being weirded out by it, and openly announces his intent on killing the Deetz family to Lydia and the Maitlands, among many other offenses.
1. When it comes to regulating their emotions, Dewey and Beetlejuice often struggle to contain their anger when things don’t go their way. In School of Rock, after one of the Horace Green students spills the beans about the class’s participation in the Battle of the Bands, Dewey, in an attempt to calm down the confused and frustrated parents, asks everyone to sit down so that he can explain himself. As everyone sits down in their seats, Dewey shouts “Welcome to Parents Night” before
Treasure Planet: Mr Hawkins is Silver
Mr Hawkins appears in a flashback that presumably takes when Jim is approximately 6 years old. In the flashback, Sarah is shown completely devastated, which leads to Jim figuring out what happened and tries running after Mr Hawkins, only to be unsuccessful. Years later, a mysterious pirate covered by a shadow approaches the inn possibly having a segment of his memory come back (which is going to mentioned later) and identify the building as his previous home. Jim, who is unaware of who it is (at that moment), however the pirate’s memory isn’t fully recovered yet, which is again going to be mentioned below leading to him accidentally destroying the inn.
Once the passengers of the legacy have started the journey, Jim questions Silver about another pirate, named Billy Bones, however, that is also something that Silver can’t remember, due to his memory being limited, which is exemplified by a quote that Silver says at some point in the film.
During one of their interactions, Silver mentions to Jim how he gave up a few things to get where he is now, those being:
1) His family, Sarah and Jim are clearly broken by his departure, but he’s unaware that they are, because of his poor memory and new role as a pirate.
2) His name, he changed his name from Hawkins to Silver because he wanted to start a new life.
3) Half of himself, because of significant injuries, he has cybernetic replacements for those, which possibly explains why he’s unable to remember some things (specifically names and some aspects of his past).
Overall, Jim was sent to him because in reality, as much as Silver wants to have some of Flint’s treasure, he doesn’t know that actually there’s a far greater treasure, reuniting with a long lost son that he has no memory of, and Jim is there to guide him to eventually recover from his amnesia. At the end of the film, Silver also gives up some of the treasure to give Jim significant money to rebuild the inn, which is ultimately Silver internally saying: "Jim, I am very proud to have you as a son, even though I did abandon you when you were younger, I’ll still be out there to support you from a distance." and of course the final shot of the film, is a cloud with silver’s face superimposed onto it, because Jim finally recognizes him as his father despite them (meaning Mr Hawkins/Silver and Sarah) not being together anymore.

Five Nights At Floppa's Series - The MC is the true villain, and he's in Hell.
In Five Nights At Floppa's 0, the Prequel/Sequel to The Entire FNA Floppa series, the game ends with the MC dying and waking up in the office in the FNA Floppa's 1 office, now i believe that the MC was an animal abuser who either abused/neglected animals in the past, and the events of the FNA Floppa Series, takes place in Hell, now let me take out the evidence of this small theory of mine, firstly, whatever company the MC works for, he is very loyal to it, in FNA Floppa's 1-3, the MC is forced to downgrade his lifestyle due to the Company being constantly bombarded with bad press, and other bad stuff i will bring up later, but in summary, the MC would go through Hell and Back (Literally) for this company, and if we were to analyze every background lore and phone call of the entire series, we would know that there were a TON of incidents which took place in between the FNA Floppa's games, if i remember correctly, it even involved the deaths of numerous people, who were likely the MC's friends, so if you were to experience living through your friends deaths, the downfall of a company you were extremely loyal to, and also went from higher middle class to tethering on the line of lower middle class and being poor, that would probably feel like crap, so yeah, in order to summarize this theory because i suck at writing (don't you dare put a pirate writing GIF in the comments) Here's the Timeline:
Before The Series - The MC was an animal abuser/neglecter, this is when they gained some admiration for the company, perhaps it was their dream job, maybe at this point, the cats who will later become the enemies in the FNA Floppa's series were still alive, but the MC either abused them, until they died, or maybe it went so far as to killing them, or maybe the MC began working for the company at this time, and their devotion to the company led to them neglecting the cats until they either died of starvation, poor hygiene, infighting which the MC didn't help them with, or the MC just gave up on them and kicked them to the curb, this led to them becoming spirits, who hated the MC for what he did to them
FNA Floppa's 1 - The spirits of the dead cats take corporeal form, and start roaming around the buildings of the company, becoming a meme sensation, and boosting the company's popularity, in turn boosting their fame and profits, there is a small rumor that Floppa killed someone, but this is most likely untrue, by the second game, Floppa and the gang were kicked to the curb for aggressive behavior so it was unlikely the company let something as big as a dead person slide, the cats set their sights on the MC and try to kill him, however, they fail.
FNA Floppa's 2 - Floppa and the gang start showing violent behavior towards company staff and begin to be a major threat and problem, leading to the company kicking the cats to the curb, and explaining the whole situation in public, this apparently destroys the company's reputation, with many animal rights activists and animal protection companies or organizations trying to justify the violent behavior of the cats, even filing lawsuits against the company, the company faces a loss in profits and investors, leading to mass downsizing, mass lay offs, along with vandalisms, condemnation, threats, and even physical violence towards staff, with some rumors that some company executives have been assassinated, the cats try to take advantage of the security system being downgraded to try to kill the MC again, but they fail.
FNA Floppa's 3 - the company building has been sold off due to the company no longer affording to maintain it, ultimately, the workers have to work from home, alleged accidents and mysterious break ins cause the deaths of some of the few remaining workers, and Floppa and The Gang try to Kill The MC again, but fail.
FNA Flopa's 0 - The Company got reduced to shambles, to the point where the company is basically nothing at this point, gone, every worker and executive have either switched jobs, or

The Mentalist S01E07 Climax Explained: Jane Manipulating His Own Psyche
Why did Jane cry at the end of The Mentalist S01E07?
Did he fail in his cold war with the psychic? Did his belief system break? Did he accept his failure and let her words break him? Was he being adamant the whole time, only to secretly accept the truth about psychics deep down? Or was Jane a hypocrite, saying one thing about psychics on the outside while quietly acknowledging their truth on the inside?
At first glance, it might appear that Jane has been "broken" by the psychic’s suggestion. His tears at the end could seem like a sign that his emotional defenses have crumbled, and maybe, just maybe, his rigid beliefs about psychics have finally been shattered. But I believe there’s more to this moment than meets the eye.
Rather than Jane simply succumbing to the psychic’s manipulation, I think what’s really happening is that Jane is manipulating his own psyche. The suggestion that his child wasn’t conscious at the moment of his wife’s death is a catalyst that forces Jane to finally allow himself to process the emotion he’s been suppressing for so long. He for once, allows himself to feel it fully. Kristina Frye's suggestion, whether intentional or not, acts as a trigger, allowing Jane to confront the pain he often hides behind his wit, charm, and mental sharpness.
Crying isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a moment of catharsis, of healing. For someone like Jane, who spends so much of his time putting on a brave face, that moment of raw emotion is incredibly powerful. It’s a testament to the complexity of his character: a man who is both deeply logical and profoundly human, who understands the importance of vulnerability even if he rarely shows it.
Jane doesn’t cry because he’s finally accepted the reality of psychics. He cries because, for the first time, he’s letting himself feel the grief of his loss. Kristina Frye's words isn’t what breaks him—it’s his own psyche, manipulated by the very suggestion of something greater, that opens the door to healing. He’s not defeated by the psychic; he’s confronting the emotional wounds he’s hidden from the world, and from himself, for too long.

A Christmas Carol-Why Jacob Marley helps Scrooge
I was watching the Muppets Christmas Carol (one of my favorite movies) and thought I'd do a Christmas theory. This one is about A Christmas Carol.
In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is first visited by Jacob Marley's ghost, who shows him what happened to him after he died as a warning to Scrooge and what fate awaits Scrooge if he doesn't change. He also warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three spirits. In the book, we see several other spirits like Marley who want to help people but are unable to, because they should have done so when they were alive. It is even likely that Marley himself was visited by the three spirits before Scrooge, but failed to listen to them.
The question is though, why does Marley agree to visit/help Scrooge?
While they were partners and friends, it doesn't seem like they were particularly best friends. Scrooge does call Marley a friend after Marley tells him that he's helping him, but Marley does not call Scrooge a friend. Scrooge is not in need of help and probably deserved the fate he escaped. If you were Marley and you saw him act the way he did, you would probably agree too. Marley, above all, knows the terrible things Scrooge has done and knows Scrooge deserves to be in purgatory, probably more so than him, so why bother to help him?
It is likely that Marley agreeing to help Scrooge not only came from wanting to do some good (because Marley also knows the type of person Scrooge is and is even frustrated with him while talking to him), but because there was a deal in place that affected him.
It is likely that the spirits agreed to free Marley from purgatory if Scrooge does indeed change. If he doesn't, his fate does not change and Scrooge would just join him. If he succeeds, he would help Scrooge escape his fate and also redeem himself, so he has all to gain but nothing to lose. That's why Marley agrees to visit him.
So at the end of the book, when Scrooge changes, he saves Marley too. He helps Marley escape purgatory, which was ironically probably the good first deed Scrooge did.

The Lion King (1994) Simba would probably be a bad king if Mufasa hadn’t died
The movie makes it seem like Simba was a innocent little kid who would grew up to be a righteous king like his father and that he is the complete opposite of Scar. I beg to differ.
In the first act of the movie, we see Mufasa trying to teach Simba about the balance of the circle of life, to respect every animal no matter how small or big.
This lesson completely goes over his head because he disrespects Zazu, and when his little music show gets a bunch of animals injured he shows no remorse.
He also practices his roar and scares a little lizard in the process, again showing he didn’t learned the lesson about respecting animals.
The kid was having a power-trip because he was a prince. Imagine if he became King.
The “I just can’t wait to be king” song really shows Simba doesn’t want to rule, he just wants to do nothing all day long and order people around, which is just what Scar does when he becomes king. Looks like he got that part from his uncle.
So because Simba has this personality trait of his uncle, I believe that if he were to grow up in the Pride Lands, being raised by his parents, he would become similar to Scar once Mufasa passed and he took over. However I don't think he would go as far down as Scar did, and would snap out of it due to his friends and remaining family trying to steer him in the right the direction. Rafiki would play a big role in this as he would most likely become Simba's mentor after Mufasa's death.
I believe that the death of Mufasa and meeting Timon and Pumbaa and reuniting with Nala after 10 years, was essential for shaping Simba into a good king. It's basically a long butterfly effect, that keeps teaching lessons to him. He had to be broken emotionally with Mufasa's death, then "rebuilt" by Timon and Pumbaa, then steered back into the right path by Nala and Rafiki.

The reason the celebrity guest stars on the Simpsons look so different from everyone in Springfield is because they all have facial deformities from being so close to the nuclear plant
The reason celebrity cameos on The Simpsons are always drawn differently from the rest of Springfield is that, over time, living in such close proximity to a nuclear power plant has caused them to mutate, giving them bigger eyes, overbites, and other oddities. Some characters have naturally blue hair (Chief Wiggum, Millhouse, etc.), whereas celebrities visiting Springfield look much more normal in comparison. Another part I want to add to this theory involves the Simpsons family themselves. Since Homer literally works inside the power plant, he has been exposed to the most radiation, which I believe affected his children, causing them to be born with hair that blends with their heads. This is why Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are the only children in Springfield with this distinct feature.

of Night Kings. Factories churn out icy soldiers, and their leaders justify these actions as necessary to restore balance to the world. But are they truly villains, or victims of humanity’s endless greed and destruction? Bran, as the Three-Eyed Raven, struggles with this question, his omniscience revealing uncomfortable truths about the cycles of history.

The Final Long Night
All paths converge in the ultimate battle: humanity must unite against the Children of the Forest and their unstoppable army. Jon and Daenerys, reconciled and stronger together, lead the charge alongside the North, the Wildlings, and the remaining forces of Westeros. Bran, Sansa, and Arya all play pivotal roles, their stories weaving together into a bittersweet finale.
The real long night isn’t just a battle for survival—it’s a reckoning with the sins of the past and the choices that will define the future.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer theories
1. King Moonracer is Jesus Christ. He is depicted as having immense grace and mercy, collects and protects the misfits and downtrodden, is depicted as a lion (the lion of judah), has wings and seems divine in his power, is a king, and wishes to provide a home for the misfit toys.
2. Hermey is a psychopath who just wants to pull teeth and torture others as he lives in the North Pole where everyone is able to eat candy in perpetuity without any dental issues his desire to be a dentist is rooted in a sadistic desire to torment people by pulling their teeth out.

The reason Spider-Man tries to stay conscious when the Green Goblin is spraying him with sleeping gas is because he doesn’t want to fall to his death Spider-Man (2002)
The famous scene from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man where Green Goblin sprays sleeping gas at Spidey while telling him “Sleep” in the hammiest way possible. Spidey is clearly struggling to stay awake during this scene, but why? Because his life is at risk - he’s hanging from a skyscraper! If the Green Goblin hadn’t caught him in time, he would have died! He’s not immune to heights.

meekly apologizing for his aggressive tone of voice. This moment shows that Dewey tends to crack under stress and pressure. To see what I’m talking about, go to the timestamp 29:02 and watch the scene until 20:05 (https://youtu.be/ap80xM1ipXo?si=qehvc9xKllgQGhK0). But in Beetlejuice’s: The Musical, a very similar moment occurs during the song “Fright of Their Lives.” Unimpressed with the Maitlands’ pitiful attempts at being scary, BJ lashes out at Adam when he suggests that he and Barbara say his name three times to make him visible to the living. Just like Dewey, BJ awkwardly apologizes for yelling. To view this moment, go to timestamp 31:14 and watch until 31:23 (https://archive.org/details/20210430202104301953).
1. Both characters befriend and manipulate minors for their selfish benefit before ultimately coming to connect with them on a deeper level. But their ulterior motives are eventually unearthed, whether it be willingly or unwillingly, making the other characters turn on them before they ultimately redeem themselves.
1. Dewey and Beetlejuice tend to gesture or stim when they feel strong emotions. They flap their hands, pose with “raptor arms,” shake erratically, and most peculiarly, pretend to play drums in the air during musical numbers. Dewey “bangs drums” repeatedly throughout School of Rock, and Beetlejuice does the same thing at least once during “Fright of Their Lives.” Go to the timestamp 30:31 and watch until 30:34 (https://archive.org/details/20210430202104301953). It looks nearly identical to Dewey’s gestures.
1. Both characters are manipulative and largely see other people as tools to use for some greater purpose. They will do anything unorthodox to achieve their goals such as lying. To earn enough money to pay rent, Dewey Finn pretends to be Ned Schneebly and steals a new job opportunity as a substitute teacher. Beetlejuice invaded the Maitlands’ home and used them to try and get the Deetzes to summon him to the Mortal Realm. After his attempt to bend the couple to his will failed, he befriended and manipulated a broken teenage girl into driving the living out of his new home.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I hope you all enjoyed this one. Feel free to leave your thoughts down below! :-)
TLDR: Dewey Finn from School of Rock: The Musical and Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice: The Musical are the same characters. After the events of School of Rock, Dewey was caught and arrested for committing fraud. He commits suicide in prison and becomes invisible to the living. This revelation breaks Dewey, causing him to spiral down a destructive path before becoming the notorious trickster demon, Beetlejuice.

School of Rock: The Musical/Beetlejuice: The Musical Dewey Finn and Beetlejuice are one and the same.
Hi again everyone! A few days ago, I posted a theory about the Broadway adaptation of Beetlejuice being an in-universe biopic show that Beetlejuice created to clear his negative reputation in the Netherworld after the first movie. But for today’s theory, I wanted to share another way you can look at Beetlejuice: The Musical: as a follow-up to School of Rock: The Musical. What I am proposing here is that Dewey Finn and Beetlejuice are one and the same. I think there is actually a decent amount of, perhaps unintentional, evidence that points to these two being the same character. But before I present said evidence, I would like to lay out the overall idea for this theory in a few paragraphs. I hope you all enjoy it…
Dewey’s Life and Death
Growing up, Lawrence was obsessed with becoming the world’s greatest rock star. He would practice guitar, dye his hair vivid colors, and sing his heart out. But his abusive alcoholic mother, Juno, opposed his love for music, finding it to be a waste of time. After he turned 25, Lawrence escaped his mother’s clutches and moved to New York City, where he changed his name to Dewey Finn and moved in with his best friend Ned Schneebly. Together, Dewey and Ned formed a band named Maggot Death and spent the next few years embracing their love for music.
However, everything changed when Ned began dating Patty, for he ended up abandoning his love for rock and roll under her influence. But Dewey continued his career in the music industry, even forming his own band named No Vacancy. However, he eventually got kicked out of the band due to his tendency to upstage his fellow bandmates while performing at dive bars. This left Dewey in a bad place, where he would be forced to get a job as a substitute teacher at Horace Green Preparatory School to pay off the rent that he owed Ned.
. . .
Despite dodging prison time after winning the Battle of the Bands, Dewey was eventually caught by the police and sentenced to life imprisonment for committing fraud and allegedly kidnapping students at Horace Green. While in prison, Dewey, in a drunken rage, commits suicide by scalping himself to death. He then became a ghost and was shocked to learn that his consciousness survived after death. Wanting to get his old life back, Dewey attempted to reunite with his students and lover Miss Mullins, only to find out he was invisible to them and the rest of the living. The isolation from his loved ones caused Dewey to become bitter and nihilistic towards life. The life he had created with the kids of Horace Green was torn from him, all thanks to the system he tried to stick it to.
Without any contact with a living person, Dewey slowly loses his mind, resulting in him becoming the notorious trickster demon, Beetlejuice. This happens after a deceased Juno curses him to be her eternal assistant (giving him his signature black and white striped, prison suit). With his new identity, Beetlejuice spends his afterlife traveling throughout the Netherworld and Mortal Realm, getting into mischief and swindling those who are gullible. He also explores his sexuality and indulges in unrestrained sex with other dead souls due to feeling the weight of life being taken off his shoulders. He doesn’t feel pressured to conform to heteronormative expectations and decides to be out and about with his bisexuality in his death.
Engaging in excessive (likely unprotected) sex, drug use, and other reckless behaviors is also his way of coping with his isolation from the Mortal Realm. Deep down, he longs to be seen and loved again. But everything changes on one fateful day when BJ stumbles across a newly married couple in the New York suburbs and hatches a plan to come back to life. By the time we meet back up with him at the start of Beetlejuice: The Musical, Beetlejuice has reached his breaking point and has decided to take action towards getting his life back.
The reason he acts like

Quantum mechanics say neutrons have a wave fuction and their wave pattern dramatically changes when theyre being observed.
So what are they doin when there not being observed?
Repulsive gravity says that gravity can have a repulsive force.
What if neutrons get that repulsive force when they become observed which would be the dramatic change in the wave function.
The big bang happened n the galaxy is like an air bubble so as the universe is expanding faster n faster eventually it should get to the point where it stretchs so big the air bubble flattens, pops and then another big bang.
In theory what if the repulsive gravity was a force so strong that when observed from (God or a higher power) the two neutrons that were a very strong force dramatically changed, popped and created a big bang only from it being ovserved.
Kind of like an old tv turning on, black screen static , picture.
Us = Black screen+static+galaxy
The odds of us creating simulations is a trillion to 1, so in between all of those thoughts n theroies. We have a trillion chances of being a simulation , were possibly just the anatomic bodies at this time that can hold consciousness

In the Pulp Fiction suitcase is the golden fleece from Greek mythology. Perhaps even the same as in “The Spirit''
In the film, Dr. Ellen Dolan uses the phrase “hard goodbye” as a metaphor for death. This is also the title of the story of Marv in Sin City, whose screenplay was also written by Frank Miller. Who guest-directed Sin City? Quentin Tarantinio, the director of Pulp Fiction. The octopus could be Jules' father. Both look damn similar (they are even both played by Samuel L. Jackson).

The entity from 1408 (2007) is the less powerful cousin of the entity from Smile (2022) / Smile 2 (2024)
In the movie 1408, there exists a hotel room that once a victim enters, they cannot leave unless they end their own life. The room essentially traps them inside and unleashes a world of psychological horror that pushes its victims to end their own life. The most significant detail is that the entity from 1408 cannot kill its victim, only convince them to. It can scare them, give them hallucinations, trick them into thinking they escaped the room, make phone calls using other people's voices, but it cannot kill them. There were 56 different cases of people dying in that room, spanning decades. At the end of the movie, the protagonist uses a bottle of alcohol and a lighter to burn the room down. These items were originally brought into the room by him, which means they were real and could cause actual damage.
In the movie Smile, the entity has the ability to do everything that the entity from 1408 can. The exceptions are that it's not restricted to a hotel room, can move about freely, and can literally kill its victims after it feeds on their deteriorating mental state for a few days. This leads me to believe that they are quite similar and maybe cousins.
