DreamWorks logo boy is actually dead.
Theory I found on the internet. Want to share with y'all.
The "DreamWorks boy on the moon" logo theory suggests the boy is dead because he's fishing on the moon, a place of death and the afterlife, and the moon is a symbol of death and the end of life.
Here's a more detailed explanation of the theory:
The Symbolism:
The moon, especially a crescent moon, is often associated with death and the afterlife in many cultures.
The Fishing:
The act of fishing can be interpreted as a metaphor for searching for something or someone, and in this context, the boy might be searching for something in the afterlife.
The Location:
The boy is sitting on the moon, a place that is often seen as a symbol of death and the end of life.
The "DreamWorks" Name:
The name "DreamWorks" itself can be interpreted as a place of dreams and the afterlife, further supporting the theory.

Explanation for "System Purge" in Cabin in the Woods
The only reasonable explanation is that, when messing with the system, Marty made it so that the system would purge in the wrong direction. A lot of people are confused why they'd have one to begin with, but given that the monsters are supposed to go up in all likelihood, this would be a failsafe against their ritual victims surviving & running out the clock if the rest of the world failed.
I didn't see if this was posted before, but I just watched it for like the 5th time & it dawned on me.

Super exists in the mainline canon continuity, which is the Manga one as I said.
This is how things officially are...but actually I believe Daima is to DB Manga what the Z Movies + GT are to DBZ Anime, i.e. an alternative version of what happened at a set point on the timeline. It is Canon in the sense it relates this way to the Dragonball Manga, not the Anime. I am afraid it does not happen in a continuity with DBS Manga starting 3 years later. So the Goku who became SSJ4 will not become SSJG, and the one who became SSJG and SSJB was never SSJ4 first to begin with.
There are already 2 minor alternative lines branching off from the Anime continuity, the Manga continuity can get one too, and it may even be nearly as important as the main trunk, even though one being somewhat above the other is necessary.

Bingo movie
I rewatched Bingo on tubi since not watching it since my childhood.
And here is my theory.
Sam Beckett from quantum leaped leaped into the dog Bingo. This makes sense. In the beginning, Bingo was not that smart with the circus people. Once he ran way, he got smarter. That is when Sam leaped into him (actually a her because the actress was female).
Sam's mission was to save the boy from drowning. He does. Then he watches over the boy and becomes his friend. When the kid moves and Bingo is left behind, Bingo finds the boy and even saves him from a bomb.
No dog no matter how smart could do the things Bingo did. Hence, that is why Sam had to have leaped into him.
Btw, the dog Bingo boned had to be another leaper. Also, they drank champagne and alcohol is poisonous to dogs.

What If "Baby Blue" Played in The Americans Finale Instead of "With or Without You"?
Hey fellow The Americans fans,
I’ve been rewatching the finale, and while I think With or Without You was an incredible and emotional choice for the moment Paige steps off the train, I keep wondering… what if they had used Baby Blue by Badfinger instead?
I know, I know—Breaking Bad already cemented Baby Blue as an iconic "finale song," which is probably why it wasn’t considered. But hear me out:
That song’s opening lyrics, "Guess I got what I deserved", would have hit so much harder in this context. Philip and Elizabeth spent their lives justifying everything they did, but in the end, the real cost of their mission wasn’t America or the Soviet Union—it was their own family. As Paige makes the devastating choice to leave them, Baby Blue could have reframed that moment not just as personal heartbreak, but as karmic justice for the countless families they tore apart.
The contrast between Baby Blue’s bittersweet tone and the sheer emotional wreckage of that final moment would have made it feel like their actions finally caught up with them—not in a dramatic shootout, but in something far more painful: watching their child abandon them forever.
I know it’s all hypothetical at this point, but I’d love to hear what you all think. Would Baby Blue have added a new layer of tragedy? Or was With or Without You the perfect choice?
Also, if by any miracle Joe Weisberg or Joel Fields ever read this, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Spongebob The "Rock Bottom" episode is a very subtle allegory to the American immigrant experience...
In the episode "Rock Bottom", Spongebob takes a wrong bus, and accidentally ends up in an area known as "Rock Bottom", where the citizens have unusual accents and mannerisms. While it does seem like a generic "creepy" area that many shows tend to showcase, this specific location might actually be a subtle reference to the experiences new immigrants to America face.
Let's start with the actual location. The show already makes references to the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests, but where does America come into play?
Enter the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean. The Marianas Trench is located within the territorial waters of the U.S. Territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
When you actually take into account the actual national boundaries, this would mean that Spongebob accidentally left his home country of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and entered into United States territory.
All of the cold reactions Spongebob experienced can easily translate into how some US citizens unintentionally treat those who are new to this country with suspicion. At one point, the Rock Bottom bus station owner even says that he could not understand Spongebob's accent, implying that Spongebob is in a completely different country with distinct dialects.
TL;DR Spongebob left his home country (Marshall Islands) for a very brief trip into the United States (Guam/Mariana Islands).

I can narrow it down further:
* The woman on the left is Holly Cushing, Laz's assistant who replaced him after he was sacked
* The woman on the right is Steph Warren herself (shown as a brunette in photos from that period)
[Steph Warren 2004-2005 photo](https://preview.redd.it/pav0qmm1uxne1.png?width=1384&format=png&auto=webp&s=6247b0e54c61e2b1993d2970bdf42e24393ee9c5)
This leaves only the GIRL in the center as Banksy—which fits perfectly because on location scouts, the director/designer would naturally position themselves in the center, flanked by support staff.

And there she is—Banksy. Her size, shape, hairstyle, and clothing style match my lead candidate for the real Banksy: Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie.
# The Obvious Objection
"But what about Robin Gunningham? Haven't journalists identified him as Banksy?"
This is precisely where the misdirection was brilliant. Gunningham wasn't Banksy—he was a **spycraft-smart Banksy ringer** who worked as the primary street art installer while serving as a perfect red herring. The perfect cover story. Meanwhile, the real artist directed installation from a safe distance, posing as the "computer person" nobody would suspect.
# The Countess Identity
The smoking gun? In the opening of his "Banksy Captured" books, Laz gives first dedication credits to a mystery figure called "The Countess"—while Banksy only ranks a three-word final tribute: "for the ride." Like one might write to an executive who merely funded the project.
Laz paints this anonymous Countess as his most valuable co-worker during the Banksy years and again a decade later when putting together the BC books. He notes the books "wouldn't have been possible without her unwavering support," implying she had say in what pictures could be included per his NDA.
This Countess was the seemingly useless "computer person" on Laz's street-art installation team. The nickname perfectly aligns with art writer Neil Mulholland's description of Scottish artist Lucy McKenzie's role-play as a "flagitious Goth Germanist" during the year Banksy launched.
# Why This Evidence Holds Up
This shot was only made public eleven years after Laz's split with Banksy and was published with the artist's approval—which Laz would have needed for his "Banksy Captured" books. This approval could only have come from the real Banksy.
If this were fraudulent, Banksy would have called out Laz's books after control of the Banksy IP estate transferred to the artist's management company Pest Control Office from the former art and exhibition parent company POW. That never happened.
In fact, there are clear signs Banksy actively supported production of these books.
**The art world loves its myths more than its truths. Lucy McKenzie pulled off the greatest art world con of the 21st century, and most people would rather believe the fantasy than face the girl behind the curtain**, while my only prize is going down in history as the boy who fingered banksy\*\*.\*\*

Tarmunora, Dellanir, Silvari, and on the other side - Azlagur. And potentially more. There may be other ancient dragons, other than Azlagur/Nameless One, who could be awakened. Vermund, from FWW, is one example. His fate is also [mysteriously unresolved](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/mwyi2h/comment/gvl2wic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3):
> Q: How did Vermund end up dying?
> A: Who said he did?
And, ultimately, Azlagur may be released from his imprisonment and unleashed upon the world.
There are a lot of directions this story could go, but either way I'm excited about the possibilities here and how they connect to the larger pieces in the story.
Whew.
Alrighty, I’ve rambled for long enough - Let me know what you think in the comments! What connections do you see that I might have missed? Do you think the memory spell could explain other mysteries in Alagaesia's history?

arise again arise between our two races. Queen Tarmonura of the elves and the dragon who had been selected to represent us, whose name… cannot be expressed in any language, decided that a common treaty would not suffice. Signed paper means nothing to a dragon" (The Beginning of Wisdom, Eldest).
A dragon whose name cannot be expressed in any language. Nameless one. It seems to fit quite nicely, and I don’t know of any other beings that fit the criteria (the Burrow Grubs and Shadow birds were given names by Eragon using the NoN). The Wolf-Spiders and Fingerrats could also maybe not have names in the ancient language, but they likely don’t fit thematically (and also generally have names in the common tongues, as referenced above).
We see the Nameless One referenced again, by Jeod, as part of his letter in the Murtagh Deluxe edition:
> Do advise me, I implore you. What does the Nameless One say in this regard, if indeed, aught can be made of his visions?
Hmm. Visions. That’s weird. I wonder if we know of any other large dragons who produce visions that need to be interpreted…. >!Azlagur!<.
I also think there’s another reference to the Nameless One in Murtagh. But it’s a little bit more subtle:
> "The woman sobbed and shook her head before continuing. ‘I did not dream as was right and proper. My mind was empty all the night until just before waking. Then an image filled my mind and I saw the white mountain with-'... Enough! Cried the acolyte. ‘Do not poison our minds with your false visions’" (Recitations of Faith, Murtagh).
“Large white mountain” is the big hint here. At first, I thought it referred to Mount Arngor… But when I asked Christopher about it, [he said](https://old.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/18c42xt/questions_and_answers_from_christopher_paolinis/):
> Q: Is the white mountain referred to here Mount Arngor? Is there any force in the World that would manipulate her dreams to depict Mt. Arngor in an opposite way to Azlagur, to dream of the White Mountain?
> No comment, but it's a hint of something else. :D
So not Mount Arngor, but a hint at something else…
Again, if we take everything above and combine it together - “False visions”… implying the vision CAME from somewhere/something else connects directly with the note from Jeod about “interpreting” the Nameless One’s visions, and visions of a “White Mountain” (which, if he really is that old, the Nameless One would be the size of a mountain…). The color (white) also fits, too. It points directly at the Nameless One.
So, if we accept that the Nameless one IS the same dragon who helped found the Rider pact, then that event takes on a whole new significance because of the implications of memory magic around the event, based on what we saw from the above [interview with Christopher](https://old.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/1hb7atm/interview_with_christopher_paolini_world_of/)…
> That memory spell was enacted when that pact was created. As for what the exact reasoning was, that's going to be a no comment.
So there are underlying reasons to enact the memory spell, ones that we are not privy to at the moment - which also throws into question the entire sequence of events surrounding the war itself. If we don’t know the reason for creating the memory spell as part of the pact, how can we trust what we know about the events itself?
Lets take another look at the next few sentences in Jeod’s letter:
> What would you have me do, old friend? I wonder if the moment has come to speak of such things to Eragon himself or even the Eldunari. But it may yet be far too early for such drastic steps.
Come to speak of such things to Eragon himself or the Eldunari. And that it’s a drastic measure? Why?
I suspect it's because of hidden/secret knowledge that the Arcaena have. This connection feels so... off to me. Let's evaluate what we know about origins of the Arcaena:
> "A small secretive sect called the Aracena that originated in the area by Kuasta. Their order, which has endured for at least five hundred years, believes that all knowledge is sacred" (Gifts

I’ve touched on [this topic](https://old.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/18ovz1k/very_long_lore_post_du_fyrn_skulblaka_all_is_not/) in the past, but I wanted to re-visit the topic with some of the new material over the past year, which only strengthens our argument. I will try to only touch on new things here, but may re-visit a few things from the previous post to set the stage.
**WARNING - MURTAGH SPOILERS BELOW**
tl;dr
* >!Despite a clear memory for crafting historical weapons, Rhunön cannot recall how she created the Dauthdaertya (dragon-killing spears), suggesting magical memory alteration!<
* >!There are numerous passages from the Murtagh Deluxe edition that suggest evidence of a larger memory spell at play!<
* >!Strong evidence suggests the "dragon whose name cannot be expressed in any language" from the founding of the Riders IS "the Nameless One" referenced in Jeod's letters!<
* >!The Arcaena, a supposedly 500-year-old human sect, possesses ancient secrets unknown even to the Eldunari, and considers sharing this knowledge with Eragon/Eldunari a "drastic measure!<
* >!Taking all of the above - I theorize that a powerful memory spell was cast during the original Rider pact to conceal crucial truths about Du Fyrn Skulblaka (The Dragon War) and potentially Azlagur!<
* >!Du Fyrn Skulblaka likely involved Azlagur and the Draumar; the Dauthdaertya were potentially created specifically to kill Azlagur, not dragons in general!<
* >!The memory spell's revelation would recontextualize the entire series, potentially leading to the return of ancient figures (Eragon I, Bid'Daum, Tarmunora) and Azlagur's release!<
What if the history of Alagaësia that we know is incomplete by design? What if crucial information about the world's past has been deliberately hidden through magical means, not just from the readers, but from the characters themselves?
I propose that a powerful memory spell was cast as part of the original Rider pact, concealing pivotal historical events and figures from the collective knowledge of Alagaësia.
Let’s dive in.
The first piece of evidence I want to touch on is the fate of the parties involved in founding the original Rider pact: Tarmonura, Eragon 1, Bid’Daum, and the unnamed white dragon (Nameless One); I will get into the Nameless one connection later in this post.
> “the Riders were created to ensure that such conflict would never arise again arise between our two races. Queen Tarmonura of the elves and the dragon who had been selected to represent us, whose name… cannot be expressed in any language, decided that a common treaty would not suffice. Signed paper means nothing to a dragon” (The Beginning of Wisdom).
Christopher has never stated or revealed what happened to the named parties - not Tarmunora, nor to the “Unnamed Dragon”. Nor to Eragon 1, nor to Bid’Daum.
Christopher even hints at this mysterious lack of finality in [one of his AMAs](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/8fpwfo/comment/dy67k0o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3:
> “What happened to the first Eragon and his dragon?”
> “That’s an excellent question. Funny how none of the characters ever brought it up… Hmm. Why would that be?”
And [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/8fpwfo/comment/dy67k0o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
> “If Eragön I and Bid'daum are still alive, are they on-planet? Or are they off-world?”
> “No Comment”
As for the nameless one - We’ll get into that more at the end of this post, but it’s never stated what happened to him. This pattern continues with Dellanir, Tarmunora's successor, whose fate is described with the vague statement below:
> “When Dellanir abdicated in order to study the mysteries of magic” (Arrow to the Heart, Eldest)
“Study the mysteries of magic” is so incredibly vague, and they don’t even state if they’re still alive. On the surface of it, it’s odd how none of these characters have a fate. But
The Theory of Infinite Knowledge and Supreme Entities
Abstract
This theory proposes that perception of reality is directly proportional to intelligence (IQ), and that through continuous learning, experimentation, and self-correction, a species can ascend through increasingly complex stages of existence. These stages include understanding and controlling reality at local, universal, and even multiversal levels. Eventually, this leads to the emergence of a supreme entity or civilization—capable of infinite knowledge, universal preservation, and cosmic governance.
1. IQ and the Perception of Reality
The foundation of this theory is the idea that the level of intelligence directly affects the accuracy of one’s perception of reality. A higher IQ enables deeper abstraction, broader pattern recognition, and more accurate understanding of how the universe works.
Examples from History & Science:
• Flat Earth Theory: Once widely accepted due to limited understanding. Later disproven through observation, mathematics, and critical thinking.
• Geocentrism vs. Heliocentrism: Humanity transitioned to heliocentrism thanks to thinkers like Copernicus and Galileo, requiring a leap in abstract understanding.
• Classical Mechanics to Quantum Physics: New scientific models were required when Newtonian physics couldn’t explain phenomena at microscopic scales.
These shifts represent how our perception of reality becomes more accurate as intelligence and knowledge evolve.
2. Civilizational Evolution and the Kardashev Scale
The theory aligns with the Kardashev Scale, which ranks civilizations based on their energy harnessing capabilities:
• Type 0: Uses planetary energy (where humans currently are).
• Type 1: Controls all planetary energy.
• Type 2: Controls all energy from its star (e.g., Dyson Sphere).
• Type 3: Controls energy at the galactic level.
• Beyond Type 3: Potentially able to manipulate universes or dimensions themselves.
Once a civilization reaches the end of a scale, it can reflect on its past trajectory and understand the direction it has chosen—whether benevolent, neutral, or destructive.
3. The Multiverse and Patterns of Knowledge
If the multiverse exists, every universe may follow its own rules and patterns—but over time, a sufficiently advanced species could:
• Decode these patterns.
• Understand how universes are born and evolve.
• Predict or simulate new universes with extremely high accuracy.
By reducing the margin of error (even down to 0.00000000000001%), a supreme intelligence could anticipate nearly everything, though never perfectly—because a non-zero chance of spontaneous error always remains.
4. Risks: Errors, Viruses, and Collapse
Even at the highest levels of evolution, risk never disappears. Over infinite time, even the smallest probability of failure becomes inevitable.
Potential threats include:
• Corruption (biological, digital, ethical).
• Malicious civilizations or individuals.
• Errors in logic, laws, or quantum systems.
To prevent total collapse, a supreme entity must be willing to restart or destroy part of reality to save the greater system. This is why sometimes seemingly “evil” decisions may serve a higher good.
5. Supreme Entities and the Need for Immutable Laws
When a species or entity reaches near-omniscience, it must establish:
• Immutable laws that transcend time and space.
• Security mechanisms that prevent lower entities from altering or corrupting them.
• Monitoring systems for prediction and early detection of collapse.
The entity must protect both its own reality and others it can access. It becomes a guardian, ensuring universal or multiversal balance.
6. The Role of Quantum Computing and Processors
Quantum computers represent the first real-world tool capable of moving us toward these capabilities:
• They operate using qubits (which can exist in multiple states at once), enabling simulation of highly complex systems.
• Entanglement and superposition allow for calculations across vast probability ranges—ideal for modeling universes or

(A Different Man) - Oswald knows that Guy was once the disfigured Edward, but doesn't want to mention it out of fear of losing Ingrid
I loved this movie when it first came out and finally rewatched it this past weekend. One thing I didn't catch during the first watch was during the final scene where Guy, Ingrid, and Oswald are all having dinner. A waiter comes by to take their order and Oswald says "What are you thinking...Edward?"
This could just be a fleeting reference to the nuanced exploration of identity and double lives and whatnot we got throughout the film, but I genuinely think that this was Oswald's polite way of saying "Hey man, I know you've been Edward this whole time."
Oswald is portrayed as a charming extrovert throughout the film, able to make friends and talk to anyone wherever he goes despite his disfigurement. But part of being a likable extrovert like him isn't just being charming, but being able to read people, get a deeper understanding of who someone is and what their hopes/motivations/fears/anxieties/etc are, and still forge a successful connection with them. He can tell early on that Guy is a guy who not only feels out of place and uncomfortable in his own skin, but is anxious and reserved around Oswald in particular, no one else.
Throughout the movie, Oswald pieces things together the more time he spends around Guy:
\-Guy is strangely and deeply invested in a low-budget, off-broadway play about a disfigured man, despite himself being conventionally good looking. He also hasn't told any of his work pals about the play, and got all nervous and bothered when Oswald approached him and called him a different name. Oswald probably didn't understand what this all meant yet but definitely remembered it as telling of Guy in some way.
\-Guy randomly has a highly-detailed mask of a deformed man's face, but doesn't really have any other sort of props or costumes or other theater gear.
\-Ingrid probably told Oswald about her time with Edward, how Edward randomly committed suicide, and how Guy randomly appeared in her life out of nowhere. Oswald likely noticed how Guy behaves quite similarly to how Edward behaved based on Ingrid's recollection of him (disfigurement aside). Oswald also probably notices in other conversations how Guy doesn't reveal that many details about his past.
\-Guy's deranged upheaval of the play, and his later stabbing of the physical therapy instructor, is extremely bewildering behavior. I think Oswald overheard the instructor saying insulting things about him while he re-entered the apartment.
\-Oswald was recruited by the same casting director looking for people with disfigurements. Oswald too may have been considered a prospect for the same medical treatment but denied it. He may have stumbled across Edward or became aware of Edward in some way during these events, and the icing on the cake was seeing Guy later on with the Edward mask.
My theory is that Oswald pieced it all together and figured out that Guy was Edward, but felt genuine pity for Guy who still had such jealously and resentment toward him and the world despite now being handsome, and just decided to play along for so many years until the "Edward" misnomer at dinner.
I'd also argue that if Oswald was afraid to even mention the possibility of Guy being Edward to Ingrid thinking it would ruin their relationship. Ingrid's loss of Edward was painful and moving experience for her, and meeting the similar-looking Oswald was also deeply inspirational, like watching Oswald's cool, sociable Phoenix rise from Edward's ashes. Ingrid has cemented Oswald in her mind as the "better" Edward, and Oswald knows this. Oswald even remotely suggesting that Edward/Guy's story isn't what Ingrid thought it was would likely make Ingrid angry, embarrassed, hurt, humiliated, and so on while unraveling this deeply moving series of events that brought her to him in the first place and destroying the art she's worked so hard to put out into the world. So Oswald just plays

Severance - The purpose of Gemmas Torture (Major Spoilers for S2E7)
A lot of speculation that cold harbour is to do with severing fear of death, and yes that may potentially be the final stage , but I thinks its more likely that we’ve been shown what Gemma wants removed, which is her suicidal tendencies and her misery around infertility. We already know she was on board with Lumons treatment and thought the cards were a good idea, so what if she agreed to be the first tester. What if Cold Harbour and the testing floor is about severing therapy and creating a sort of Ego Death in people. I feel like Gemma and Marks relationship looked at what most people most common issue is now a days , and thats facing an unplaceable mental anguish, despite being financially sound at a time where the average persons in the middle classes life is mostly filled with luxury. Gemma and Marks relationship seemed perfect yet she was still miserable about certain aspects. They chose mark to sever to because as he said hes clumsy unfocused, and wanted to be a better parent. They felt that hed help Gemmas process as he knew her best, and learn some better parenting skills by working there too. They’re creating a product that they can advertise as allowing a sort of ego death. We know memories are cut through severance but it seems like emotions have to be cut out of the system potentially through MDR. So its more selective, you could choose to forget a hard , emotional therapy session but the positive emotions released afterwards benefit you. The product could be sold as a sort of retreat like the birthing retreat, a mental health/ ego death retreat. I think theres probably more to the fertility aspect of the show, maybe severance effects can be somewhat passed genetically which would be interesting and sort of explain what they were testing on the goats.
The rest of this theory is a bit speculative but what if They’re training Gemmas chip to be given to Helena, and Marks emotional love to be towards her. The shows intro shows them swapping between each-other as-well as the tent scene. We also have a whole episode talking about how innies move on and potentially go “to heaven” so what if Gemma is killed and her chip is given to helena. Theyre using gemma to kill two birds with one stone, they’re creating a new product as-well as giving the first test to the ceos daughter. They lied to gemma about fixing and releasing her

Tree Gelbman From Happy Death Day is actually dead Theory
I've posted this theory before but it got deleted so decided to repost it.
Tree Gelbman was brutally murdered the night of her birthday on her way to her door room by the serial killer in the film. Tree not being the best person in the world and is a total bitch is stuck in purgatory which is repeating the same day like in the film fixing her mistakes and learning to become a better person and finding out who her killer is and that Carter is actually an angel of death guiding her every step of the way. However in the sequel Tree has to accept her faith that she's going to Hell and has to face the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) during the time loop, eventually accepting her fate and moving on.
This is just my theory I know it's doesn't make sense but yes we all have watched the movie we know it's not true but this is just a FAN THEORY and actually in my opinion one of the most fucked up ones I've ever came up after rewatching Part 1 and 2 of Happy Death Day.

Stay Tuned/Pleasantville The TV repairman is the "angel" equivalent of the guys who run Hellevision
Let's look at the most obvious thing in common between the repairman and the HV folks: they can supernaturally send people into television. The HV execs do so to people via satellite dishes, but like the repairman, can use remote controls to transport themselves for the same purpose.
But here's the big difference. The HV execs are out to capture souls for the Devil. The repairman, while a bit misguided, doesn't seem to be malicious, and certainly isn't working for infernal forces. Indeed, his actions, while not turning out in quite the way he wanted, are overall positive, if subject to interpretation (will dismantling the conformity of the 50s ultimately lead to the dysfunctionality of the 90s)?
The repairman only wanted to give a fan of a show he enjoyed a good time. The HV execs do the opposite. David and Jennifer should just be glad it was him and not Mr. Spike.

About Daima's place in the Canon and SSJ4 in Super
Until recently the Canon of Dragonball was a pretty clear topic. There was a big Canon, and a few side timelines.
The Canon was...
Dragonball (Manga) - Dragonball Super (Manga) - (BoG, RoF, Broly Movie, Superhero)
DB Manga + DBS Manga + Resurrection F + Broly (Manga continuity)
But all movies except Broly are part of the Manga already, making 3 out of 4 of them redundant.
Then we have the Anime Canon, a lesser but still valid one...
DB Anime + DB Kai + DBS Anime + Broly + Super Hero (Anime continuity)
We also had 2 more minor timelines sprouting from DB Anime...
DB Anime + DBZ
DB Anime + DBZ fillers + DBZ Movies + DBGT
We thought Daima was part of THE Canon, or at least part of the lesser one, the Anime Canon, sitting right in between the 2 Manga series, or at least rather between Kai and Super (Anime).
Then Goku went SSJ4. 3 in Universe years BEFORE he fought Beerus with SSJ3.
WHAT HAPPENED ? Why Goku never used SSJ4 again ? Out of Universe he did not have it, but all events in a timeline must fit, regardless of when they were added in real time.
Actually this happened before. After supposedly getting Zenkais for 12 years Goku VS Raditz had a powerlevel of 416. VS Tienshinhan 8 years earlier he was at 180. There is no way he had Zenkais. Then again, at the time he was supposed to be a human, and the Oozaru was supposed to be a gag. Toriyama invented Zenkais even though they do not fit with large parts of the narrative (actually, it appears Goku had 1 Zenkai when he drank poison before fighting Piccolo Daimao, but that is the only instance. He got much stronger in 3 days before fighting again Taopaipai, but he was said to have gotten stronger by training).
So why did not Goku use SSJ4 ?
I have a theory : he actually lied to Vegeta and got SSJ4 from the magic of Neva, because he lost his tail, and thus he could not have got a tailed form by training, then he chose to never use it again, even if he was able to and the form itself made his tail grow back, because he did not really earn it, and he had to lie to Vegeta. I may be wrong. This way of behaving may just not make sense to Goku.
I also think SSJ4 in Daima is only ×500 stronger than Base, and on par with a theoretical SSJ Oozaru. It is however much more efficent than any golden form excluding MSSJ. Goku went on perfecting the strongest form he got by himself, even though he lost a 25% boost in power by going back to have SSJ3 as his ceiling. Then 3 year later he got God Ki. The only counter argument is SSJ4 Kamehameha beating Buu's scream by a large margin in terms of dimensional breaching capabilities. Buu was already way stronger than Buu saga SSJ3, some say he was 8 or 10 times stronger. If SSJ4 is ×4.000 and thus 10 times SSJ3, as it was in GT, everything changes.
However in ToP SSJ4 should have came back, specifically when he fought Caulifla and Kale. Then when they fused he should have turned SSJB. However, Goku in the Manga NEVER ACTUALLY FOUGHT CAULIFLA AND KALE, OR KEFLA. And Daima was supposed to be part of THE Canon, so the Goku who should have used SSJ4 was the one from the Manga. The only time he should have used it was VS SSJ2 future Trunks instead of SSJG. But by then he was likely so focused on God Ki he just went using it anytime a ×400 boost was not enough.
But there is one more possibility : what if Daima is a sequel to Dragonball the original Manga, or maybe to the DB Kai Anime, but is not prequel to Super ? What if Daima branches off from the main line ? What if after Buu saga we have two both valid canon lines, one with SSJ4, and the other with God Ki ? If so, which one is THE one ? Which one is the most canonical ?
Daima is MUCH smaller than Super, being only 20 episodes with no Manga, but is also rumored to have more Toriyama involvment. How much ? Could Daima overpower Super and get its place as THE sequel of the original Dragonball Manga or at least as the sequel of DB Kai ?
As things stand now, Daima is officially a sequel to the Buu saga of the Manga and along with
Why Freddy Krueger keeps coming back
My theory is because of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 when Freddy takes over the body of Jesse Walsh at the end I think he keeps him alive hidden ether in a comatose state or lock up in a state asylum as John Doe and everyone that knew him Freddy makes them forget about him like he did in with Carlos and Spencer. And the only way to permanently kill Freddy is to kill Jesse. I know it probably makes no sense but what do everyone think

Why is prince flea swallow on the run
In parappa the rapper you'll hear prince flea swallow say now I'm on the run. So I have a few theories on why he is on the run now I don't know if this is true or just a random lyric. Reason 1 prince flea swallow got caught scamming you can see why this may be true as he says this skunk will bring you luck possibly hinting that he may be a scammer or something of that nature. Now reason 2 he's crazy this is maybe a little more stranger but I have a good reason why this may be true in one lyric he says I am the number 1 king of the seven seas and the skunk will bring you luck claim may also fit here since he might have believed that skunks would bring luck and he has shown strange behaviors such as selling his only toilet and saying that toilet will bring you luck this is most likely him trying to get parappa away from the toilet to use it. But those are just my theories on why he said this but what are you guys theories

Samurai Jack Jack was never named
Jack's parents never refer to him as anything but "son", and he never verbally introduces himself to his teachers (instead just flashing his family crest). When asked who he is in the future, he stops to think about it. He doesn't hide the fact that he's a samurai from the past, so I don't think he's trying to hide his "real" name by going by the nickname. I believe he was genuinely never given one because his parents didn't want to get attached, knowing he'd be shipped off and possibly killed one day. He's a weapon against Aku, nothing more.

Banksy is a Girl
**The art world's greatest con isn't Banksy's anonymity—it's that everyone assumes he's a man.**
This proof was the least popular of my many unpopular posts on r/Banksy. Time to expose it to a wider audience and see if it was just that sub railing against evidence-based unmasking of their beloved Banksy, a knee-jerk sexist reaction that their iconic bloke isn't a bloke, or if my analysis is actually faulty (feel free to point that out in unflattering terms).
For those wanting to dive deeper into this rabbit hole after reading this post, check out my more extensive investigation: [Stu's Clues #3 - LAZARIDES X BANKSY X LUCY MCKENZIE - THE CASE OF COUNTESS LUCY MCKENZIE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Banksy/comments/153cfxf/stus_clues_3_lazarides_x_banksy_x_lucy_mckenzie/)
# The Smoking Gun
Generally speaking, I don't see my primary source—Banksy's former manager Steve "Laz" Lazarides—as particularly credible. Not that there are any credible members from Team Banksy other than Steph Warren, who refused to sign an NDA.
But **pictures don't lie**... especially ones like this from Banksy's 2004 Santa's Ghetto Show @ 121-125 Charing Cross London, where the photoshopped additions can be separated from the original capture. This is the martini shot (the final image) in Laz's 2019 monograph "Banksy Captured V1."
[Steve Lazarides, Martini shot from Banksy Captured V1 from the location scout for Banksy's Santa's Ghetto group show, late 2004](https://preview.redd.it/5tl7bomjtxne1.png?width=1864&format=png&auto=webp&s=d99d8af6c987fe30f861e5c458ebd31ba06732ad)
# The Obvious Misdirection
The obvious addition is Laz himself, who took the picture and then photoshopped himself into it—a blatant misdirection intended to include something recognizably "Banksy-related" in the final shot of a book called "Banksy Captured."
You'd expect this image to either show Banksy or contain a major easter egg. It certainly ain't Laz, who was easily unmasked as a photoshop paste-in by simply photographing the book pages with my iPhone and playing with contrast—revealing the sharp edge around him that betrays the CG collage job.
[Close-up on Laz paste-in from Banksy Captured V1 martini shot](https://preview.redd.it/sgaxpeletxne1.png?width=1130&format=png&auto=webp&s=a10b712e47e8064e39a49cef79c197da998d256a)
Why This Location Matters
Per Stephanie Warren's account on the BBC's "The Banksy Show," we know the artist plays no role physically installing shows. However, she did confirm they crowd-sourced reviews outside their exhibitions.
This means the only time Banksy could see show locations to pre-visualize designs would be during small private location scouts like this one. Afterward, they'd layout the design remotely like an art director while leaving installation to crews directed by Banksy's intermediaries—maintaining secrecy with only upper management and cut-outs knowing the artist's identity.
The fact they're on the second floor fits with the show's design: while the exhibition was on the first floor, Santa was hung in effigy from a second-story window in the room adjacent to this one.
[Exterior of 121-125 Charing Cross](https://preview.redd.it/ub7umtwotxne1.png?width=2036&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c53b35dbdb173603942da11696e0d116ace555c)
The windows in Laz's pic clearly match this exterior shot of 121 Charing Cross, while Santa was hung above the 125 storefront as shown below:

**Everything about this photo—except Laz photoshopping himself into it—screams authenticity.**
# Process of Elimination
So what makes this worthy of being the martini shot in "Banksy Captured"? Not the room—stripped to the studs with zero Banksy-esque decorative elements.
This leaves only the three women by the window as potential Banksy captures, which leads to the unavoidable conclusion: **Banksy is a woman—specifically, one of these three.**

So, how would a secluded human sect founded just 500 years ago (which I also doubt is actually only 500 years old, but I digress) have secret knowledge that the Eldunari themselves, many of whom have been alive for over 500+ years, do not have?
It doesn't pass the sniff test to me.
The only rationalization I can think of is - memory magic. Which we know exists based on the above. Which only further begs the question - Assuming the memory spell and the hidden knowledge from the Arcaena (which I assume are the same, but it is an assumption) are the same, Why do the Arcaena (and, likely by extension the Nameless One) have this knowledge? And why is it being hidden from the world?
Well, I've covered a lot of this in my previous post, so I'll make the answer brief - We can piece together possibilities based on the other bits and pieces we know about the Arcaena. Given that the Arcaena have this knowledge, let's pivot to what we know about them and their motivations. First and foremost - we know their “ancient foes” are the Draumar:
> It seems the Draumar are moving about in the world again. Our ancient foes have chosen this time to reveal themselves, and I must confess, I fear for the future.
Note the wording here - “Again”. As if they moved about in the world previously. I wonder when that was… And we know they're doing it in the open this time, whereas previously it's implied they did it in secret. This could be any number of events - The Rider war, the Year of Darkness, the Palancar conflict, etc.
But - Let's refocus it around the Draumar/Arcaena, because that's likely the source of the conflict. Given what we know about the Draumar, we know the real threat isn’t the [Draumar themselves](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/1ain5u1/comment/kowmf3v/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3):
> 3. The Dreamers themselves aren't the real threat.
Which implies the real threat is who they serve… Azlagur. Which again, seems to line up thematically. If what we know about Azlagur is accurate, then we have two very old, very large “dragons” who both "give visions", and are thematically contrasting colors (white vs. black). Taking everything else into context - We can make an informed guess as to the things being obscured here.
Again, I don’t want to re-hash all the evidence from my previous post, but in short, my informed guess is that Du Fyn Skulblaka relates to Azlagur, and potentially involved the Draumar trying to free him from his imprisonment. And, my guess is that the Elves created the Dauthdaertya not to kill Dragons as a whole - but in an attempt to kill Azlagur. Which did not work, and may be a secondary, or hidden meaning behind the name of the Elven tower on Utgard - Edoc'sil, or Unconquerable (now known as Ristvak'baen).
If this is true - Let's expand a bit more on the implications of this.
Ultimately, it would recontextualize nearly the entire series. The conflict with Galbatorix is merely a symptom of a much deeper, ancient conflict (one which Galbatorix himself tried to solve by overthrowing the Riders and planning to take on Azlagur himself). Which also throws into question his motivations, and while it doesn't absolve him of his crimes, it justifies his motives a bit more than what's currently present in the books.
As for what it means in the future - a LOT. First and foremost - If this memory spell exists, how has it affected other aspects of Alagaësia's history? Are there other inconsistencies in the world's history that might be explained by memory magic? Does it connect back with other, potentially older mysteries? The Grey Folk? Helgrind? The Binding of AL to Magic? The Dwarven Gods? The founding of Alagaesia itself? I could go on and on.
There are also numerous hints at potential conflicts in Book 6, and even beyond. The Arcaena and their allies may work to preserve the spell, or may be forced to "reveal themselves" to Eragon and the Eldunari. And, if the memory spell breaks, it may usher in the return of several ancient powers - Eragon I and Bid'Daum,
given Christopher’s hints that there may be something deeper to it (“Why would that be”), I think there’s more to it.
Now, to be clear, this in a vacuum is suggestive, but it is not conclusive evidence by itself - While this absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, it merely sets the stage for the next few points, and when all taken together, form a clear picture.
Getting into the next piece, the Dauthdartya.
The next glaring evidence for the memory spell's effects appears in the inconsistencies surrounding the Dauthdaertya, the dragon-killing spears. In Inheritance, Arya explains their origin:
> "The Dauthdaertya... were born out of the fear and the hate that marked the final years of our war with the dragons. Our most skilled smiths and spellcasters crafted them out of materials we no longer understand, imbued them with enchantments whose wordings we no longer remember... we made them with but one purpose in mind: we made them to kill dragons." (Into the Breach, Inheritance).
This statement presents a puzzling contradiction when considered alongside Paolini's confirmation that Rhunön herself [created these weapons](https://www.youtube.com/live/zLMr3z459IA?feature=share&t=1309):
> Q: "You said that Rhunön, the elf smith that helped Eragon make Brisingr, also made the Dauthdaertya. Is there a reason for that?
> A: "Well yes, because Rhunön is so old that she was around back when the elves and the dragons were at war together, and so she made the Dauthdaert as a weapon to be used against the dragons."
Rhunön—the master smith who remembers the precise techniques and enchantments for every rider's sword she ever created—somehow cannot recall how she crafted some of her most powerful work. It is completely out of character for her to simply "forget" how she created weapons of such significance.
I asked Christopher about this in an interview last year, and he seemed to confirm there was something memory-related at play [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/1hb7atm/interview_with_christopher_paolini_world_of/):
> Q: Rhunön had a direct hand in creating the Dauthdaertya. So why is that she and others can't remember creating them? Is there specific memory magic at work there?
> A: Yes… It's part of that pact. That memory spell was enacted when that pact was created. As for what the exact reasoning was, that's going to be a no comment.
Great. So we have two memory-related oddities that connect with the founding of the Riders’ themselves. The existence of a memory spell surrounding the Rider pact raises a critical question: Why would such an extreme measure be necessary for what's portrayed as a straightforward peace treaty? Memory alteration suggests there were elements of the conflict that needed to be concealed. The biggest motivation for which, I believe, is the prevention of a future conflict. Now if the Dragon war was as straightforward as portrayed in the book, why would we need a memory pact at all?
Hmm. I don't want to speculate too much here and re-hash everything, so I'll keep moving forward.
Now, if the above wasn’t enough evidence as to the existence of the memory spell, let’s get into the real smoking gun; the Nameless One.
We first see references to an entity called the Nameless One in Jeod’s [letter in the Inheritance Deluxe Edition](https://www.paolini.net/2015/07/09/deluxe-letter-from-jeod/):
> The spell you sent me, however, did not work when I read it from the scroll. Either it was miscast or she possesses wards sufficient to protect her from even such magic as that of the Nameless One.
So.. if we take what else we know about the [Nameless One](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eragon/comments/mwyi2h/comment/gvkyqld/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3):
> Q: Does the term "unnamed shadow" and/or "nameless one" indicate beings that do not have a name in the ancient language or that are otherwise not subject to the ancient language?
> A: Yes
So - if we take that and combine it with this passage….
> "the Riders were created to ensure that such conflict would never

Modern-World Example:
• Google’s Sycamore processor solved a specific task faster than any traditional computer could, marking a step toward quantum supremacy.
• Future quantum systems may be able to simulate evolution, project consequences of policies, or predict universal trends.
In this context, quantum computing becomes a gateway technology toward the infinite knowledge described in the theory.
7. Morality, Governance, and the Role of the Species
For a civilization to survive and evolve, it must act as one. This theory argues for:
• The removal of national borders, currencies, and hierarchical governments.
• Global direct democracy, where every individual contributes to decisions.
• A collective consciousness that reflects the moral and intellectual path of the species.
If the majority chooses evolution toward benevolence, the outcome will be peace and growth. If not, self-destruction becomes likely.
8. Testing, Restarting, and Infinite Cycles
To reach true omniscience:
• Civilizations must constantly test different models of existence.
• Run simulations to identify failure points.
• Restart portions of reality or entire universes if the risk becomes too great.
This doesn't signify failure—it is a necessary part of the path to stability and understanding.
9. The Race Toward Supremacy and Collective Balance
All civilizations capable of evolution enter a kind of cosmic race. Those who stagnate may be surpassed or eliminated by others. But at the highest level, multiple supreme entities may:
• Merge into one.
• Or evolve into the multiverse itself—a self-aware collective entity that maintains balance.
Even here, new risks arise. Therefore, rules must constantly evolve, while protecting against manipulation.
10. “Good Always Wins”: A Statistical Truth
The famous saying that “good always wins” may be statistically valid in this theory:
• Evil often leads to self-collapse.
• Benevolence is more sustainable and cooperative.
• Thus, survival favors long-term benevolent systems.
This is not an emotional argument—it’s a conclusion based on probability and game theory.
Conclusion
• Knowledge is infinite, but reachable in stages.
• IQ and perception of reality are directly connected.
• Quantum technologies may become our next step toward simulating, understanding, and preserving the universe.
• A supreme species or entity must act as guardian, not destroyer.
• The path forward is not easy, but it is possible—if we align as a species and evolve ethically, intellectually, and technologically.

Jurassic park the ship crew at the start of the third movie that mysteriously disappeared were killed by a spinosaurus, but not the one from the third movie, one of the aquatic ones from Rebirth.
So the start of JP3 has the crew of the boat disappear without explaination and it's always implied that the spinosaurus swam by and killed them as later it's shown to be swimming in the river and it makes sense as it's the big bad of the movie.
However, rebirth introduces the more accurate up to date versions of spinosaurus fully adapted to swimming. The one in JP3 wasn't a real one but engineered to be more like a t-rex, it could swim in a river but being out in the open ocean didn't really make as much sense, but it would for a fully aquatic species.
Rebirth's premise is a new island that had dinosaurs too dangerous for the original park, so they would have lived there but could have easily swam to near the other island. The boat has blood on it and is damaged so the spino may have attacked it thinking it was prey and maybe knocked the men off and eaten them, or jumped up to eat them. The trailer for rebirth shows one of them doing this.

Darth Vader did not sense Obi Wan in the first movie
This is my fan theory I want to share. I'm aware that I'm not the first person to come up with this; I've seen other Reddit posts with this theory, but I still want to share what I came up with and why it makes sense.
I'm also aware that George Lucas didn't come up with the family connection until he was writing Empire so this was not his intention when he wrote Star Wars; this is my theory to make it work for the first movie.
In A New Hope, when the Millennium falcon was captured and they were hiding in the secret compartment, Darth says: "I sense something. A presence I have not felt since...", and then abruptly walks away.
We, the audience, assume he's sensing Obi Wan Kenobi. The thing is, he had such a close relationship with Obi Wan as his Padawan, that I think he would have recognized him right away. Instead of saying "I sense something" he would have said something like: "Hey, Obi Wan is here!"
Also, I think Obi Wan would have known that Darth Vader was somewhere on the Death Star, and he was likely able to use the Force to hide his presence. So I don't think he sensed Obi Wan; at least not right away. I think he sensed Luke. Darth stormed off abruptly because up until that point, he believed Luke was dead, having died in Padme's womb, and suddenly he senses a presence he hasn't felt since the last time he saw Padme alive.
So, you might ask, what about him mentioning his suspicions about Obi Wan's presence to Tarkin? I have a couple of thoughts. It could simply be that he assumed Obi Wan was there with Luke. He says to Tarkin "The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old Master." The last time he saw pregnant Padme, Obi Wan was there, so he may have been referring to Luke. He might have deduced that Obi Wan took care of Luke after Padme died and let him believe Luke was dead. My other theory is that once he sensed Luke, he thought Obi Wan might be there too, and he reached out with the Force, specifically looking for Obi Wan, and only then sensed his presence.
So the next question you may ask: how did he know about Luke and not Leah? After all, they shared a womb. Wouldn't Anakin have felt both of them? And that's a good question.
I theorize that Anakin never actually reached out to the babies with the Force while Padme was pregnant. I think it comes down to how much more powerful Luke is with the Force than Leah is. So powerful that Luke, as a fetus, reached out with the Force, and Anakin felt it. He might have even sensed the family bond between him and Anakin and reached out instinctively. Leah, not being as powerful, never reached out like Luke did. So, only feeling one Force baby, Anakin assumed Padme was only having one child. This would explain how he knew about Luke, but didn't discover that Leah was Luke's twin sister until Return of the Jedi.
And, finding out that the person he thought was his only child was alive in the first movie would explain why he was so eager to kill Obi Wan, and it also explains why he knew all about Luke in Empire and was so eager to find him.
Let me know what you think!

Severance: The purpose of Gemmas torture
A lot of speculation that cold harbour is to do with severing fear of death, but I thinks its more likely that we’ve been shown what Gemma wants removed, which is her suicidal tendencies and her misery around infertility. We already know she was on board with Lumons treatment and thought the cards were a good idea, so what if she agreed to be the first tester. What if Cold Harbour and the testing floor is about severing therapy and creating a sort of Ego Death in people. I feel like Gemma and Marks relationship looked at what most people most common issue is now a days , and thats facing an unplaceable mental anguish, despite being financially sound at a time where the average persons in the middle classes life is mostly filled with luxury. Gemma and Marks relationship seemed perfect yet she was still miserable about certain aspects. They chose mark to sever to because as he said hes clumsy unfocused, and wanted to be a better parent. They felt that hed help Gemmas process as he knew her best, and learn some better parenting skills by working there too. They’re creating a product that they can advertise as allowing a sort of ego death. We know memories are cut through severance but it seems like emotions have to be cut out of the system potentially through MDR. So its more selective, you could choose to forget a hard , emotional therapy session but the positive emotions released afterwards benefit you. The product could be sold as a sort of retreat like the birthing retreat, a mental health/ ego death retreat. I think theres probably more to the fertility aspect of the show, maybe severance effects can be somewhat passed genetically which would be interesting and sort of explain what they were testing on the goats.
The rest of this theory is a bit speculative but what if They’re training Gemmas chip to be given to Helena, and Marks emotional love to be towards her. The shows intro shows them swapping between each-other as-well as the tent scene. We also have a whole episode talking about how innies move on and potentially go “to heaven” so what if Gemma is killed and her chip is given to helena. Theyre using gemma to kill two birds with one stone, they’re creating a new product as-well as giving the first test to the ceos daughter. They lied to gemma about fixing and releasing her
