The Unpresent Spider-Man: A Critique of Peter's Reaction to Aunt May's Injury in No Way Home
Upon rewatching Spider-Man: No Way Home, a particular scene highlighted an emotional misstep in Peter Parker's characterization: his reaction to Aunt May's grievous injury. While the scene's emotional weight and score were undeniably impactful, Peter's dialogue and apparent lack of immediate realization felt deeply inconsistent with the stark reality of the situation.
Aunt May, a crucial and deeply human figure in Peter's life—a woman in her 40s to 60s—suffers critical injuries from several high-tech explosives thrown by the Green Goblin. Despite being mortally wounded, her final moments are dedicated to ensuring Peter's well-being. This showcases an incredible, almost superhuman, level of perseverance born from her parental love. She's focused entirely on him, even as she's dying.
In striking contrast, Peter, a high school graduate who is also injured—visibly limping and likely with several broken ribs—responds with a bewildered "What happened? Are you okay?" This dialogue feels remarkably out of sync with the immediate aftermath of a supervillain's attack that has just severely wounded his only remaining family. Even with his own injuries, the visual evidence of Aunt May's condition, especially given their dramatic differences in physical resilience, should have ignited an urgent realization of the catastrophe. His inability to grasp the severity of her situation, even as she's trying to reassure him, suggests a concerning lack of presence.
The scene's climax, while fast-paced and emotionally charged, seems to prioritize dramatic effect over a logical portrayal of Peter's awareness in such a dire personal tragedy. It raises a critical question: should Spider-Man, even a heavily injured one, truly be so detached in the face of his sole remaining family member suffering a fatal blow? His uncharacteristic lack of urgency diminishes the impact of Aunt May's ultimate sacrifice and his own character's development in that crucial, heartbreaking instant.

💭 Fan Theory: The Fox X-Men Universe Was Created by Steve Rogers’ Timeline Branch in Endgame
So here’s a theory that’s been bugging me in a good way…
What if the Fox X-Men universe wasn't just a separate multiverse world, but actually a branch created when Steve Rogers stayed in the past at the end of Avengers: Endgame?
Maybe Steve didn't return all the Infinity Stones.
Maybe he destroyed one, or just kept one.
Or maybe simply his presence in the past, with future knowledge, changed everything.
Instead of letting the Avengers form, maybe he took a back seat, altered events quietly, and that world evolved without Avengers — but with mutants.
The X-Men universe (Fox):
Has no Avengers.
Mutants are the dominant powered beings.
The tone and political world is very different.
It could make sense that this was Steve’s branch, a world shaped by a peaceful but passive Captain America, where mutation replaced heroic intervention.
This would explain why it’s not Earth-838, and why Prof. X in Multiverse of Madness is different — because the Fox universe is a stray branch, not part of the main multiversal web.
What do you guys think? Too far-fetched, or could this explain the mutant timeline until the MCU reboot?

together. As controversial as the later Ripley films were, killing and resurrecting Ripley set the stage for everything that came after it.
With the first AvP movie, fans were up in arms about the lore inconsistencies, but I’d argue that everything that has happened SINCE AvP makes it MORE consistent. People didn’t like the fact that XENOS existed on Earth yearsbefore the events of the Aliens movies, but almost every movie in the saga reminds us that we still don’t know much about “what really happened or when”... AvP was the first movie that revealed our deep connection to the Yautja. We revered them as gods, tracking man’s predatory nature back to ancient civilizations. Prometheus, Covenant, and Romulus were all movies that continually insist that Weyland-Yutani has always known WAY more than the characters and the audience. I have no problem believing that sometime after the Engineers botched the extermination of humanity, The Predators came to earth and used an old temple as hunting grounds.
AVP also features Lance Henrickssen as grandpa Weyland (AvP feels pretty connected to me lol). And we get to see a Yautja team up with a human, which again reenforces the fact that Predators and humans are not so different.
Requiem is probably the worst movie in the whole saga, but the lore is still valuable and consistent. It picks up where AVP left off, and follows “Wolf”, as he is dispatched to clean up the mess of a Predalien massacreing a town. As bad as the characters were, the themes of both sagas were again present in Requiem. Basically, Wolf is containing an outbreak of the bioweapon, and uses fluids to completely eradicate any trace. Lol, no one talks about the throughline to Prometheus- where we see Engineers using similar fluids to manipulate life/cells. We also see Wolf use a static-y technology to see what happened to the dying Yautjas, similar to when David watches the video of Engineers dying/sitting down at the command console.
It’s not explcitly stated, but it seems like the Yaujta have a connection with the Engineers as well, reverse engineering ancient tech alongside humanity. I personally like the idea of exploring the Yautjas relationship to the Engineers. If they all exist on the same timeline or even split timelines, I would theorize the Yautja are also created by the Engineers. Perhaps they were once Enforcers for the engineers, and defected. Perhaps the sudden disappearance of the genocidal engineers allowed for the Predators to rule the cosmos through instinctual evolution, and contain the xenomorph bioweapon.
Lol, another reason why I consider Requiem canon, is because it screams in your face that it is. Ms Yutani shows up at the end, and carries on Gary Busey’s work of collecting Predator tech.
I actually love this implication. Weyland-Yutani’s cyberpunk future was created by salvaging alien tech from the Predator attacks of the 1987, 1990, and 2007!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Bladerunner is also on this same timeline. So in 2049, Tyrell and Weyland are competitors. The pyramid iconography and themes are all there lol. Thats right, Replicants in Bladerunner are also reverse engineered from Predator tech. All canon.
Okay. So cut forward 42 years, to the events of Prometheus. David is a physically superior being, made in Weyland’s image. I watched Covenant and Romulus as a trilogy of sorts. And it works really well with coherent through lines.
Prometheus depicts a powerful intelligence who is beholden to his master. When Weyland dies, David is free to behave just like his creator- he uses his abilities to amass more power, and sets his sights on immortality.
By the end of Covenant, we see that David has somehow figured out how to create a “perfect” being, and we are still no closer to having the answers. Weyland died believing in nothing, and David carried that philosophy with him as we takes control of the colony ship.
The implications of David having his own superlab to expand his creations and fortify his god status? It’s horrifying. And it’s an amazing cliffhanger. There is some
Fantastic Four: First Steps Everything we've seen in trailers happens in the first half of the movie
I've been getting kind of annoyed at how all the F4 marketing materials basically show the entire plot of the movie: F4 forms or is formed, Sue Storm gets pregnant and has Franklin, Silver Surfer and Galactus shows up to retrieve/kill Franklin, F4 fights and supposedly defeats Galactus. This is a very important movie for Marvel, and everything they're doing so far almost ruins the hype for it since it feels like we've seen the whole movie already.
But then it clicked: the Galactus/Franklin stuff is only the first half of the movie. The second half will be focused on Doom. I posit that F4 defeats Galactus by transporting him to another universe via a black hole (we see snippets of this in the trailer already). Reed will not know how to design the black hole/transportation tech, so he'll reach out to Doom to help out with that. Doom will have technically saved the day but won't get any of the credit for it, which will infuriate him.
He'll also become fixated on how Sue and Reed aren't really up to the challenge of being the planet's protectors and are actually its biggest threat since their kid brought Galactus in the first place, so he'll go after them. The F4 will escape via their rocket thing but Doom will create another black hole that sends them to universe 616.
In Doomsday, wow having rid himself of the F4, Doom will become fixated on protecting his universe from multiversal threats, but also creating some sort of utopian world/society that comprises the best of all the universes, which leads to him creating Battleworld. He'll recruit the 20th Century FOX X-Men to help his aims and it'll be them vs. MCU Avengers. He'll sway both Professor X and Magneto to his side with his vision for a utopia where all powerful beings can be protected and free from danger. They'll fight the Avengers but only until Professor X and Reed are in the same universe will X read Reed's mind, realize that Doom's a madman, and then the X-Men will side with MCU Avengers, leading up to Secret Wars.
There will also be some time paradox stuff of Franklin is always Galactus or something too.

The Flash Season 3 Theory: Iris Was Never Meant to Die - and Barry Traveled to the Wrong Future
I’ve been rewatching The Flash Season 3, and I think Iris was never actually meant to die — and that the future Barry traveled to in 2024 wasn’t even his real future.
Here’s the setup. Throughout Season 3, Team Flash sees multiple glimpses of Iris getting killed by Savitar. Barry sees it after throwing away the Philosopher’s Stone. Cisco vibes it with Barry. Then Wally asks to see it. But every single time, the vision stops right after Iris is stabbed. We never see what happens next.
But later in the season, we learn HR Wells secretly used the face-changer device to take Iris’s place, and Iris actually didn’t die. Yet none of the visions ever showed that twist — they all cut off at the moment of impact. So my theory is that those glimpses weren’t actually showing a guaranteed future, but a filtered version of the future — one based on Team Flash’s belief that Iris was doomed.
Then, in episode 19, Barry travels to the year 2024 to ask his future self for help. That version of Barry is emotionally destroyed because Iris died. But I don’t think Barry actually traveled to his future at all. I think he accidentally traveled to a different timeline — one where Iris really did die — because of how time travel works in this universe.
Back in Season 1, Eobard Thawne tells Barry, “Focus on where you want to go and you'll go there.” That line is huge. It implies time travel in the Arrowverse isn’t just mechanical — it’s guided by belief and intent. So when Barry traveled to 2024, believing Iris was destined to die, he didn’t move forward on his own timeline. He tuned into a timeline that matched what he thought would happen. A timeline where she did die.
But what about Savitar? Doesn’t he have to come from a timeline where Iris actually dies?
Yes — and here’s the fix. In Season 4, when Barry tries to throw a nuke into the Speed Force, Jay Garrick warns him not to, saying it would destroy the Speed Force and cut off access for every speedster across every Earth. That tells us the Speed Force is a single, unified entity that spans all timelines and universes. It’s not local.
So Savitar didn’t have to originate from Barry’s timeline. He could have been created in an alternate timeline — one where Iris did die — and then, when he started to escape the Speed Force, he didn’t return to his timeline. He broke out into ours. Because the Earth-1 timeline in Season 3 was already preparing for his arrival — believing in his inevitability — it was the perfect entry point.
That means Iris was never destined to die in our timeline. But Barry’s belief that she was going to die created a kind of tuning fork effect — syncing his mind and the Speed Force with a timeline where that did happen. And that belief opened the door for Savitar to emerge into Earth-1 and try to make it happen.
To sum it up: Barry didn’t travel to his future. He traveled to a timeline that matched his expectations. Savitar didn’t come from Earth-1’s future — he came from a different timeline and broke into ours through the Speed Force. The visions weren’t facts, they were filtered possibilities. And Iris’s death was never inevitable. It only seemed that way because Barry believed it.
Let me know what you think — does this theory make sense with how the Speed Force and time travel are shown to work in the show?

There's a user I saw on Reddit who commented that it takes them about 8 p.m. or something like that, half an hour to defeat the villains, and then they go to bed (which actually makes sense, since before the opening sequence that shows them becoming PJ Masks, they're shown doing something in the bedroom, not sleeping or lying in bed ready to take a nap).

Tin Foil Hat DC universe trajectory theory.
James Gunn says he thinks he knows whose story the DCU is and it's not someone anyone would expect. He also said where it's all going no one will expect. https://www.ign.com/articles/james-gunn-offers-cryptic-tease-about-who-his-rebooted-dc-universe-is-actually-about-directs-fans-to-peacemaker-season-2-for-clues
I think Maxwell Lord is James Gunn central character and the whole thing is leading not to the overdone multiversal chaos of Crisis on Infinite Earths but instead the relatively more grounded Infinite Crisis event.
There is not a lot of supporting evidence yet but there are a lot of pieces on the board.
Lord already has his private justice league, OMAC were introduced in the Blue Beetle movie which at one point Gunn had said would remain cannon. ‘Blue Beetle’ Director Confusingly Clarifies the Movie’s Place in DCU Canon
The T Spheres and Lex Drones are visually similar and a half step away from getting mega sized and becoming Brother Eye. Hawkgirl and the lanterns are well established. >!Luthor is already messing around with pocket universes and Superman sent a clone of himself into a black hole created by a collapsing pocket universe at the end of his movie. !<
We know there will be a bunch of Robins introduced in either their own show or the brave and the bold movie. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/robin-animated-movie-dynamic-duo-dick-grayson-jason-todd-1236162489/ If Brave and Bold has Damian as expected than all of the Robins will have existed except for Tim Drake. We would need Tim Drake Robin for the >!death of his dad!< if they adapt Identity crisis as a lead in.
Peacemaker season 2 could set up Checkmate and introduce us to the Secret Six, the teaser trailer and descriptions don’t give us any real plot hints but it seems very human ground level focused. They could get wild like the first season and even give us a Dominators Invasion Gene bomb that gives Maxwell Lord his powers. We know he is in the show and recruiting more people for his Justice Gang.
Lanterns season one is described as a dark earth-based mystery where the lanterns investigate a murder in the American heartland. This could easily be an adaptation of the Identity Crisis event, and/or lead immediately into the full crisis in which all the lanterns are pulled out of the fight after being lured to the dessert.
The Authority might be a better place to put the Dominators, but I really like it as a place to introduce the fact that infinite crisis already occurred in this timeline, and there are lingering multiversal characters.
Swamp thing gives us further access to the mystical realm after Creature commandos introduced Circe and magical creatures. Specter being a presence even an antagonist makes a lot of sense. Maybe they team up against Eclipso? Specter’s human source is destroyed, or he is otherwise left unbound by the end and set to go on his anti-magic rampage.
The other announced projects include Blue Beetle and Booster Gold TV shows. Other key players in the Infinite Crisis events. Chapter One: Gods and Monsters | DC Universe Wiki | Fandom
What if instead of Bizzaro coming back out of that pocket universe black hole it's a version of Superboy prime?
When Supergirl is planet hopping in her solo movie she could easily meet Adam Strange.
A lot of this is what if’s and could be’s maybe wishful thinking but I think there's some solid evidence.
A through line of Maxwell Lord becoming increasingly disillusioned with Metas and superhero's in general could fit into all of these easily. He has a

Did the viral gym janitor prank originate from a 2013 episode of Mr. D?
I was rewatching Mr. D (a Canadian sitcom from the 2010s), and in Season 2, Episode 10, there’s a scene where the school janitor, a huge bearded guy, casually lifts 50-pound dumbbells while the principal struggles beside him.
Immediately I thought of Anatoly, also known as Vladimir Shmondenko. He’s the guy who dresses as a janitor and shocks people in gyms by lifting ridiculous amounts of weight with ease.
The similarities are hard to ignore.
Same janitor look. Big beard, quiet, low-key energy.
Same setup. Someone struggles to lift, then the janitor effortlessly lifts more.
Same joke. The unexpected strength from someone who seems untrained.
The Mr. D episode aired way before Anatoly started going viral online. I’m not saying it was directly copied, but it’s totally possible this scene inspired the entire prank concept, even if just subconsciously.
Could be coincidence. Could be the hidden origin of one of the biggest internet fitness trends.

In Shakespeare's Henriad, why does Falstaff die from a brokenheart from Hal's rejection after becoming King by the time of Henry V? Despite getting permanent welfare checks that enables him to live the hedonistic lifestyle he wanted (which was his motive for hanging out with Hal in the first place)?
Throughout Henry IV Part 1 Falstaff is protrayed as a crook who accepts bribes, indulges in gluttony, does armed robbery, a habitual practitioner of dining and ashing, and gets into silly fights bullying people weaker than him. AS well as being a coward in the battlefield who feints and plays dead while all his subordinates and brave comrades are getting killed and claims credit for Hotspur's death )whom Hal really kills). This carries on to Part 2 esp in the Inn where the host once again is demanding pay from Falstaff and during the meal and arguments he gets into a fight with the equally bad and much more rowdy Pistol, stabbing the hothead in one of the shoulders with his sword. THroughout PAt 1 Falstaff makes it clear he hopes Pricne Hal will give him a bunch of government benefits when he becames King........
Which makes it so unbelievable that Falstaff was in anyway so genuinely hurt by Hal cutting off ties forever after the coronation. DESPITE receiving a practically permanent welfare check from the crown for the rest of his life under the condition he stops trying to meet up with Hal. Even moreso I'm flabbergasted he dies of a brokenheart by the time of Henry V, almost two years after the Prince abandoned his old associates.
Why so? It seems so out of character for how slimy Falstaff is! Esp when he was described as engaging in an extravagant feast with nonstop eating and drinking for hours earlier on the night he died! The fact he was engaging in gluttony in the last days of his life just makes it all the more bizarre he'd die from grief since attaining a lifestyle like that was his motive for associating with Prince Hal to start with! It feels just like a gigantic plothole in the otherwise brilliant trilogy Shakespeare wrote!

MCU Theory Doom is setting up Battleworld (Latverion) in The Void for Avengers: Doomsday/Secret Wars.
Doom has been collecting places & peoples from apocalypses & Nexus events and gathering them in The Void, ready for his set up of Battleworld (Latverion) for either the end of Avengers: Doomsday or beginning of Avengers: Secret Wars. He has been doing this in order to stay under the radar of the TVA; we can assume this as Sylvie was hiding in apocalypse events in Loki season 1 (Loki explains this as well with the scene where he ruins Mobius’s salad).
Doom’s plans for doing this is probably linked to Kang/He Who Remains(HWR), as he(Doom) might have been a variant that was arrested and/or pruned by the TVA – one particular moment mentioned in the Loki series is Mobius telling Loki the story of how he(Mobius) couldn’t go through with pruning a boy who was going to be responsible for 5000 deaths somewhere near the Black Sea – a location that’s a lot similar to that of comic book Latveria. My speculation here is that the boy who was pruned could be a variant of Doom, or the brother who was also swimming there is the Doom variant who is trying to get back his lost brother from that timeline – a slight change from the comics Doom who’s trying to get back his mother from >!Mephisto!<, this boy is trying to get his brother back, which now leads us to Wanda’s place in Doom’s plans.
>!Mephisto!<’s appearance in Ironheart where he >!resurrects Natalie!< for Riri can be a pivotal moment where Doom has discovered what the TVA has been doing throughout the Multiverse and timelines and he will do what he can to get his brother(?) or mother – he will vow to destroy the TVA, but in order to do this, he might need Wanda Maximoff, who’s soul could be held by >!Mephisto!< - Doom’s bargain with >!Mephisto!< is that he needs Wanda and the plans he(Doom) is enacting will ensure that he(>!Mephisto!<) gets an insane number of souls for his domain. Doom would also promise Wanda that she can have her sons in exchange for helping him with his plans.
Alioth will be a huge problem for Doom in The Void as the entity will consume whatever is down there and this will be problematic for him(Doom) trying to set up Battleworld (Latverion) – so Doom will require the help of Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange and Wanda in order to deal with Alioth. HWR mentions in the season one finale of Loki that Alioth was created from the tears in reality caused from the Multiversal War that the Kang variants were fighting & he(HWR) harnessed and weaponized the entity’s power in order to win the war – Doom’s plan will be to harness Alioth’s power differently, as this could be used to make himself God Emperor over his Battleworld – just as Loki & Sylvie enchanted Alioth in Loki season 1, this is where Doom will need Wanda to enchant the monster (one, to get to Loki’s location and two, to help kill Alioth), Shang-Chi’s role is to use the Ten Rings to destroy Alioth while it’s enchanted, just as he did with the Dweller-in-Darkness entity in the Shang-Chi film, while Strange’s role in this is that Doom will require the Dark Hold (which exists in Strange’s mind from the end of the Multiverse of Madness film) to draw & siphon Alioth’s powers into himself through Strange, similar to what Agatha Harkness was doing with the Dark Hold to siphon off Wanda’s powers in the WandaVision series. With Alioth’s powers in him, this can make Doom God Emperor as he has planned.
Franklin Richards will be used by Doom to mess with Loki – while Alioth is enchanted by Wanda and the path to Loki is open, Doom will use Franklin & his reality warping abilities to mess with Loki who is connected to the Multiverse and timelines – Doom’s plan is for Loki to detonate the Anchor Beings of the individual timelines that Loki is connected to and cause the different Earths to converge into each other through Incursions, cascading the destruction and collapse of the Multiverse whereby only The Void will be left in all of reality. Doom is doing this in order to
Ridley Scott's Napoleon is a deliberate fulfilment of Arthur Clarke's 2061: Odyssey Three
Maybe it's stupid and I don't know what to do with this but this was bugging me for some time, so here it goes.
I read Clarke's 2061: Odyssey Three as a kid back in the 90s and I remember there was a brief mention that one of the characters, Yva Merlin, an aged movie star diva, was portraying Josephine Bonaparte in the fictional movie classic called "Napoleon". That detail made an impression on me because I remember being a bit sceptical about this idea that Napoleon Bonaparte's story will still be a movie classic material in the 21st century (what a naive kid I was), and concluded that Clarke was getting too old when he wrote the third odyssey.
And then the 2023 happened and the Ridley Scott's attempted classic Napoleon came out, which immediately brought memories of 2061 odyssey. It started to make sense that the Yva Merlin's character was somewhere about 40 years older than when she played Josephine in the Napoleon.
I wasn't even sure anymore if the Napoleon part was really in the novel or just a mutation in my memory so I downloaded a PDF. Sadly, it wasn't text searchable so I spent hours manually looking for that part and couldn't find anything. Now, two years later, I went into this mania again for whatever reason. I asked Google, its stupid AI kept claiming that there was no mention of Napoleon the movie in the 2061: Odyssey Three. After rephrasing the question for fifth time, it started giving in - yes, "Yva Merlin is mentioned as an actress famous for roles like Josephine Bonaparte in "Napoleon" and as a character in a film about Halley's Comet," it said. Bingo!
Just to make sure it wasn't AI halucination I refined the search and Google eventually provided the textual proof as well, the excerpt read "... I was just a kid when Napoleon came out.' There was a long pause while each ...", in a hit that leads to this txt version of the novel https://archive.org/stream/SpaceOdyssey\_819/2061\_Odyssey\_Three\_-\_Arthur\_C\_Clarke\_djvu.txt
Furthermore, now I could scrape through the text and find out that the Napoleon is said to have come out "Almost half a century ago", which can be interpreted as about 40 years, giving more weight to my case that Ridley Scott's Napoleon is, at least in some way, an attempt to create the Clarke's world in reality. Not that it matters much, neither is Napoleon a timeless classic (though time will tell), nor is 2061: Odyssey Three a great Arthur Clarke novel, but I'm just glad that I can finally put this case to rest. I can't believe I found no mention of this "coincidence" anywhere on the internet so far.

The Usual Suspects: Verbal is NOT Keyser Soze?
I just watched the movie and I wanna give my two-piece as to why Kobayashi is Soze and it has to do with 1 scene in particular:
When the usual suspects take Kobayashi hostage and then he convinces them to let him go to the meeting with Edie, right before he goes in he tells them not to pull a stunt like that again and then goes into gruesome detail about what will happen to each one of their loved ones/ relative if they do.
What “messanger” delivers that kind of threat? A threat so personal that it would make it seem like he would do it himself. This guy is like a glorified butler and isn’t in any position to make threats to anybody behind his boss’ back.
I will also mention that in the credits scene, there is no “Keyser Soze” being played by anyone, but on google it says it’s played by Spacey. Why wouldn’t the director put Soze’ actor’s name in the credits if the movie is done and we see the sketch look like Verbal Kint?

🧠 Marvel Theory: What If the Fox X-Men Universe Was Created by Steve Rogers’ Branch Timeline After Staying with Peggy?
Here’s a layered theory I’ve been exploring, connecting multiple Marvel timelines — from Steve Rogers’ choice at the end of Endgame, to the Fox X-Men films, and even the assassination of JFK.
1. Steve Rogers' Branch Timeline Created a Mutant World
When Steve chose to stay in the past with Peggy, he didn’t just live quietly. He created a divergent timeline. That timeline — shaped by his presence, influence, and possible failures to return the Infinity Stones precisely — could have evolved into the Fox X-Men Universe. Why?
There's no Avengers in the Fox universe.
Mutants are central to history there — far earlier than in the MCU.
Steve’s morality might’ve been compromised (think Hydra Cap influence, as teased in comics and What If...?).
What if he didn’t return all the Stones, or chose to keep the Time Stone — reshaping history?
2. Hydra Cap and the Rise of Mutants
If that version of Steve slowly shifted into something darker (like the Hydra Cap comic version), he could’ve allowed — or enabled — mutant history to diverge without interference. His absence from major world events (like WWII from a Fox POV) would leave the field open for mutants to rise earlier and unchecked.
3. JFK Assassination: Winter Soldier Meets Magneto?
We know from Captain America: The Winter Soldier that Bucky was used by Hydra to eliminate key figures — including Howard Stark and reportedly John F. Kennedy.
Separately, in the X-Men: Days of Future Past timeline, Magneto was accused of assassinating JFK, claiming he was trying to save him (implying the bullet was curved via magnetism).
Here’s the twist:
> What if both Bucky and Magneto were involved — unknowingly part of the same moment?
Bucky fired the shot, under Hydra control.
Magneto tried to bend the bullet away.
Result: JFK dies, both become suspects in different universes.
Could this moment be a point of fracture, anchoring a universe where mutants are real but Avengers never formed?
4. The MCU’s Next Step — Acknowledge or Reboot?
With the Multiverse Saga ongoing and Deadpool & Wolverine likely bridging worlds, will the MCU:
Merge Fox X-Men into Earth-616?
Keep them separate but acknowledge this alternate Steve-created world?
Or start fresh with new young mutants (like Laura/X-23, Magik, Moonstar) aligned in age with MCU heroes like Peter Parker?
Whatever path, the Fox X-Men Universe might be more than just “another timeline” — it could be the long shadow of Steve Rogers' personal choice.
---
🧬 What do you think? Does this theory make sense? Could the Fox Universe be Steve’s branch timeline? And was JFK's death the result of a cosmic-level mutant/assassin intersection?

supplemental material that describes David sharing some of his findings with the Weyland-Yutani corp. For a character who could just destroy everything, David decided to communicate and seemingly collaborate with the company. And canonically, thats the last we know of what he did.
The next movie (Romulus) features the reverse engineering of the Black Goo, at a secret Weyland installment. I think Prometheus and Covenant really establish that David has already surpassed humanity. He is becoming some kind of god offscreen, but perhaps he is also in control of the Corporation. In Covenant, he is able to override Weyland Ships by using his own clearance code. Weyland built him to be vastly powerful and also be able to use Weyland resources, and now David is free. This is purely my speculation of what David is up to now…but I theorize that David RUNS Weyland-Yutani, and influences everything we see in the subsequent (and original) films. To achieve his goals David would utilize the same systems of power as the original Weyland did to stay on top. In Covenant, its established that WY androids are built to be weaker, after humanity saw the danger in synthetics. David would be able to use humans and weak synthetics to further his agenda, completely unseen from the public eye.
Rofl, another through line that I’ve never heard anyone mention- In the reviled 2018 Predator, It reveals that a rogue Yautja is developing bioweapons and harvesting DNA. Again, people complained and rejected it as an inconsistency. But it’s in line with my interpretation. We are the Predator. We are the Alien. We all share DNA, and behavior. The Predator from 2018 went rogue from the establised Yautja clans, as they fight over the legality of genetic manipulation. This paralells the violent struggle humans, engineers, and synthetics have as they weaponize the ancient tech. It’s all one timeline, rofl. AND I never realised that Jake Busey was the guys son from Predator 2. It all demands to be directly connected to the canon, and it all fits IMO.
The PREDATOR/ALIEN franchise recontextualized itself over and over, but it never directly violated it’s cinematic timeline. For marketing and liscencing reasons, there are different “canons” to consider when creating supplemental material, but the idea that certain movies aren’t canon is a personal narrative. All the movies fit together, even if you can’t see past the flaws.
It looks like both franchises are moving towards intersecting again, and I love that the upcoming Noah Hawley show takes place before Alien (1979). It’s set during a time that could again recontextualize what we think we know about Weyland Yutani. And it’s also set during a time when the whereabouts of David is unknown.
Alien:Earth is sandwiched between Romulus and a full-blown Predator resurgence. I hope the show acts as connective tissue to the whole timeline. If it’s anything like the Fargo show, it will take what it needs from the influences and bring it into a new (but tonally accurate) direction.

@r_fantheories
Contrary to Popular Belief, all of the ALIEN and PREDATOR films (including AvPs) exist on one coherent timeline.
Also, this theory suggests David is covertly running Weyland Yutani by the events of the upcoming Alien:Earth show.
I recently rewatched most of the ALIEN and PREDATOR films. Most of them, I only ever watched once each, so it was really interesting to see how the movies hang together as one giant saga. Both franchises are notorious for it’s messiness and sweeping changes to the lore- Over the years, the Predator and Alien fandoms have listed numerous instances of perceived lore inconsistencies. But after watching the entire saga, I’ve decided that it all is WAY MORE consistent and coherent than most people give it credit for. The exact perameters of what is considered canon changes depending on who you talk to, and for various legal/creative reasons… but my analysis asserts that ALL the films are canon, and they all exist on the same timeline (including the prequels and AvP). Anyone is free to reject certain events of this timeline, but in so doing, they are themselves lashing out against the creators, who are trying to guide us to understanding what these films are really about.
I started the recent rewatch, because I was inspired by th animated entry PREDATOR:KILLER OF KILLERS. The entire movie seemed like an expansion of what was great about the ending of Predator 2- It highlights the Predator’s long history and connection with humanity, AND it’s connection to the Alien saga. To me, the xeno skull was never an “easter egg”. Whether Alien and Predator franchises organically attracted each other, or were designed as companion pieces is irrelevant-they are baked into each others DNA, both figuratively and literally.
After doing a deep dive of the subtext of the first two Predator movies (1987 and 1990), I realised that the crossover is more than a B-Movie mashup. The themes from the early Alien and Predator films compliment each other and tell the same story.
Alien focuses on feminine themes, while Predator explores Masculine themes. Alien fixates on the cycle of life and death, with lots of subtext about motherhood, and creation. Predator symbolises the destructive masculine nature, and the quest for immortality/survival. In both cases, we are introduced to these forces of nature as an ALIEN ENTITY. But after years of movies, we realize that the ALIEN and the PREDATOR are deeply tied to us, and even share some of our DNA (as seen in the Prometheus). In a metaphorical sense, we learn that the things that we are truly afraid of, are parts of ourselves/things we do not understand.
The Predator films all have very consistent themes throughout. Similar to Weyland Yutani employees, Dutch and his crew are expendable. The inherent mistrust of the corrupt government is present in both series. In both Predator and Alien, the government are weaponizing alien tech. These series have always been linked, and I will now explain why the prequels, the sequels, and even AvP fit just fine into any “canon” timeline.
The main reason why anyone would want to reject any of the films as canon, is because they don’t like the particular movie, and they don’t like the ideas conveyed. While the quality of the movies may wax and wane over the years, the ideas conveyed remain true to the themes of the franchises IMO. Part of why we reject disappointing reveals is because we are stuck on our expectations, our creative vision. But there’ s value in accepting the lore, and embracing the (sometimes painful) revelations about humanity, and our fears of the “other”.
Alien has always been a saga that is evolving/changing at an alarming rate. The series began as a horror, became action, and mutated into wildly different sequels. By the time Prometheus hit, fans were already used to jarring tonal shifts they didn’t fully embrace. But I would argue that the series is doing really interesting things if you appreciate how they are reshaping the world Constantly, like a mad god.
There are coherent through-lines that tie every film
Theory The reason for the existence and role in the hierarchy of the “Black Clothes Square” in Round 6, second and third seasons.
With Il-Nam's death, Frontman assumed his post as Host. This is clear in the dialogues of the second and third seasons, where the VIPS treat the Frontman with more respect compared to the first season and even call him “Host”.
However, the Frontman needed someone to command the Control Room on a day-to-day basis at the games while he accompanied the VIPS. That's where the masked man in a black uniform with pink details and a square mask comes in (Popularly called the General Officer and/or Masked Officer), superior to the other pink squares, and responsible for maintaining internal order while the Frontman takes care of external relations.
But this figure was not created in a hurry just because the Frontman needed to infiltrate the 2024 games. His existence was already foreseen in the structure. Proof of this is that he has his own room within the complex, something that would not have been improvised at the last minute.
In the third season, in his conversation with No-eul (Guard 11), the Officer said: "... I should have asked you to be a player." This proves that before becoming the Officer, he worked as a recruiter. With his place in the hierarchy being between the Frontman and the Recruiters, and his role is to replace the Frontman when he is not present (similar to In-Ho's role in the first season).

Theory The reason for the existence and role in the hierarchy of “Quadrado de Roupa Preta” in Round 6 (2nd and 3rd Season)
In the first season, the top of the hierarchy was:
• Oh Il-Nam (Host and game creator)
• Hwang In-Ho (Frontman/Supervisory leader below Il-Nam).
With the death of Il-Nam, shortly after the 2021 games, the Frontman assumed the role of Host. This is clear in the dialogues of the second and third seasons, where the VIPS treat the Frontman with more respect and even directly call him “Host”, different from the initial stance.
However, the Frontman needed someone to run the day-to-day activities of the games while he accompanied the VIPS. That's where the mysterious masked man in a black uniform with pink details and a square mask comes in. He appears to be the new General Director of the games and guards, superior to the other pink squares, and responsible for maintaining the internal order of the games while the Frontman is busy taking care of the VIPS and external relations.
But this position was not created hastily in the 2024 games because the Frontman decided to infiltrate as 001. Its existence was already foreseen in the structure. Proof of this is that he has his own room within the complex, something that would not have been improvised at the last minute. He possibly already had this position in the 2022 games, shortly after Il-Nam's death and Frontman's promotion to Host.
About the General Officer’s (As he is popularly called) past:
• In the third season, in the conversation with guard 11, the Officer says: “I should have asked you to be a player”. This suggests that before being the General Officer, he served as a Recruiter. His experience in this role reinforces his promotion in the gaming hierarchy.
The hierarchy after the games:
• Oh Il-Nam (Creator of the games, maximum symbol of respect in the gaming hierarchy even after his death)
• VIPS (Game financiers, they rule us all in hierarchy)
• Frontman (Is practically at the same level as VIPS)
• Officer (Acts with the same power as the Frontman from the first season, but is still subject to the orders of the Leader and the VIPS)
• Squares/Supervisors (Take devotions, supervise games and guards)
• Triangles/Guards (Responsible for killing eliminated players, they do not make important decisions)
• Circles/Workers (Responsible for manual labor: Cooking, handling coffins, cleaning the game arenas and cleaning the bodies).

Marvels Identitätskrise: Wie das MCU seine Seele verlor
Das MCU war einst eine fortlaufende Saga – ein modernes Epos, das über Jahrzehnte in Comics gewachsen ist und schließlich in Filmen seine visuelle Entfaltung fand. Doch seit *Endgame* wirkt alles fragmentiert, strategisch und entkoppelt von dem, was Marvel einst ausmachte.
# 🧱 Die wahre Basis: Comics, nicht Kino
Superhelden waren nicht plötzlich da – sie wurden über Jahrzehnte erzählt. Die Filme waren nur die logische Konsequenz einer technisch entwickelten Welt. CGI, Streaming und globale Distribution machten es möglich, diese Geschichten neu zu inszenieren. Aber die Seele kam aus den Comics.
# 🧠 Tony Stark als Spiegel
Tony Stark veränderte sich nicht radikal, sondern kontrolliert. Er lernte aus Schmerz und Verantwortung, blieb aber im Kern er selbst. Genau diese Art von Charakterentwicklung fehlt dem aktuellen Franchise. Statt organischem Wachstum gibt es Brüche: Figurenwechsel, Genre-Sprünge, Multiversum-Chaos.
# 🌍 Diversität – Prinzip richtig, Methode falsch
Diversität ist wichtig. Aber sie funktioniert nur, wenn sie erzählerisch verankert ist. Gender-Swaps wie bei Silver Surfer oder Ajak ersetzen bestehende Identitäten, statt neue zu entwickeln.
>
# 📉 Die Entfremdung der Basis
Marvel jagte neue Zielgruppen und vergaß die Fans, die das Fundament bildeten. Serien wie *Ms. Marvel* erhielten gute Kritiken, aber blieben kommerziell blass. Kritiken sind nur dann relevant, wenn sie von der Basis kommen. Wenn die emotionale Verbindung fehlt, helfen 88 % bei Rotten Tomatoes auch nicht weiter.
# 🕯️ Stan Lee – Verlust des Kompasses
Stan Lee war mehr als ein kreativer Kopf – er war die moralische Instanz. Nach seinem Tod verlor Marvel Humor, Menschlichkeit und die Brücke zur Fanbase.
>
# 🚨 Kurswechsel nötig
>
* Zurück zu emotionaler Erzählung
* Wertschätzung für die Basis
* Neue Köpfe mit Mut zur Tiefe
# 🧪 Zukunft: Renaissance statt Strategie
Das MCU braucht keine weiteren Multiversen – es braucht Geschichten mit Herz. Neue Figuren mit eigener Identität, echte Heldenreisen, und eine Rückkehr zum Erzählen statt Kalkulieren.
**TL;DR:** Marvel hat sich von seiner erzählerischen Seele entfernt. Die Basis wurde ignoriert, Diversität oft falsch umgesetzt, und die Figuren emotional entkernt. Es braucht einen Neuanfang – nicht strategisch, sondern menschlich.

Major Payne and Monster's Inc. Major Payne definitely greased a Monster's Inc. scarer hiding in the closet.
Sometimes, I like to think that being a scarer working for Monster's Inc. is very risky. Some people get scared and some don't and unfortunately there's a potential hazard (EX: The scene in Monster's Inc. where that one random scarer came back crying because he almost got touched). If anybody's seen Major Payne, you all know the scene where Tiger (The little boy) "hears" a monster in the closet twice and Major Payne comes upstairs and shoots the closet saying "If he's still in there, he ain't happy"
So I put two-and two together and made the theory that a scarer who is a first-time recruit and trainee under supervision got sent to a random room to get some experience on the scare floor and scare the daylights out of little Tiger. It backfired and the scarer came back to the floor severely wounded from gunshots which caused a controversy and having the door destroyed. So I'm thinking, "Why would they send a first-time guy to a high-risk area (military and stuff) which is meant for veteran scarers like Sulley, Claws Ward, or Randall?" I think the answer is just a major (no pun intended) miscalculation on what doors they sent out or the scare assistant being incompetent. I know Waternoose swept it under the rug and paid for any medical and hospital bills to the poor guy.
This is my literal first fan theory so it's understandably a bit jumbled up but it makes so much sense now that you think about it. Major Payne and Monster's Inc. are in the same universe. Whaddya think?

Peter Pan
There's a ton of adaptations of the story, my theory is based off the original Disney animated movie and the film Hook.
In Hook, Peter recounts his memories of his mother. He explains how his mother had already planned out his life for when he grew up. He wasn't ready to grow up, so he runs away. Tinker Bell finds him crying alone in the park and takes him away to Neverland. He tells us that one day he visited his home only to discover that the windows were locked and he had been replaced by another baby. He continues by telling us that he found other houses to visit. He recounts visiting Wendy over the years and eventually her granddaughter before finally deciding to stay and grow up. In Peter Pan we see him eavesdropping on the Darling children before inevitably encountering them while trying to catch his shadow. Both of the Darling parents are shown to have previous memories of Peter.
So what if Peter never actually went to any other homes? What if he continued to go to his own home, but over time he had forgotten that it was his home?
I believe it's possible that Wendy is the baby he thought his parents replaced him with. I believe that Peter is continuously drawn to that home looking for a mother. I think that Wendy's similar appearance to her mother what causes Peter to subconsciously view her as a mother. I believe that Tinker Bell's animosity towards Wendy isn't the romantic jealousy we think it is, she just doesn't want him going back to the place that hurt him to begin with. I think that father Darling is adamant about the windows because he has already lost a child and is paranoid something will happen to his other children. I think that father Darling gets bent out of shape about the stories because his son was named Peter and it reminds him about it. I think that when father Darling sees the ship flying in front of the moon it brings a memory of Peter back that he had forgotten.
I know that it ruins the young love dynamic, but it really expands on how tragic Peter's life is. It explains why he never seems to visit anyone else, and why the Darling parents seem to have a vague familiarization with Peter but because they never see him we don't get a confirmation.

Doom I & II Doom levels look abstract and basic because we're playing a interactive retelling of Doomguy's experience to doctors and scientists.
Ever notice how in Doom, Everything looks basic, levels look weird and abstract, and you never reload your gun. My theory is that we're playing a simplitic retelling of Doom where the less important details aren't mentioned. This explains why the most basic human zombie enemies look exactly the same, and you don't reload your game or why buildings look basic and abstract and only down to their basic geometry.

burn out/exorcise Kang & his variants from all of the Multiverse and ensure that Kang/HWR will not be able to return with the TVA or his plans that he has littered across the timelines (as mentioned by Mobius and Hunter B-15 that the Kang variants are still seen in the Multiverse).
Doom will probably also create his Doombots by taking and repurposing the Sentinels of the erased X-Men: Days of Future Past timeline and reinforcing their robot bodies with Vibranium & Adamantium alloys from Earth-616, as this Earth is probably one of the few places known to have both metals in vast quantities – Doom will also need these for his set up of Battleworld’s shields that will help sustain the patchwork world from eviscerating the different domains.

The Final Arc of Hunter x Hunter — Kurapika's Vengeance, Don & Zigg's Return, and the True Nature of Nanika. (Note: This theory was conceptualized and developed entirely by me. I simply used ChatGPT as a writing tool to format the theory in a more structured way possible. Also in new to reddit 😭)
PART 1: Kurapika vs. Tserriednich & the Rise of Gyro
The current Succession War arc is a pressure cooker. Kurapika is nearing his limit — physically, emotionally, and Nen-wise. He’s sacrificed lifespan, stolen abilities, and is surrounded by monsters in royal form. But there’s one goal still burning:
> Retrieving the final Scarlet Eyes from Prince Tserriednich.
Tserriednich is learning Nen unnaturally fast, protected by a deadly Nen beast, and has the eyes Kurapika seeks — meaning we’re headed for a kill-or-be-killed duel.
Prediction:
Kurapika defeats him but pays a steep price — either losing all of his Nen, his lifespan, or perhaps even dying.
His story arc doesn’t continue beyond this. It closes.
Meanwhile, deep in the Dark Continent…
> Gyro rises.
He's been lurking in the shadows, with no screen time since Chimera Ant. Togashi wouldn’t highlight him without a bigger plan — and Gyro is the perfect narrative contrast to Gon. He’s born from suffering, hate, and the rejection of human connection.
Prediction:
Gyro becomes the main antagonist after the Succession War.
His rise collides with Killua, Gon, and the world’s final crisis.
---
PART 2: The Return of Don Freecss & Zigg Zoldyck — Still Alive
Both Don Freecss and Zigg Zoldyck are names tied to legend, mystery, and the Dark Continent itself. Don is writing the New World logbook — which is still being written. Zigg is mentioned as a past explorer — but never confirmed dead.
> What if both are still alive?
The Theory:
Both Don and Zigg consumed or obtained a “Rice Grain of Life”, an artifact from the Dark Continent capable of drastically increasing lifespan.
They’ve been living in isolation, documenting, guarding, and surviving in the most hostile land known to man.
They know what the V5 and Beyond don’t:
> The continent is not just a land of monsters. It’s where the truth of Nen, humanity, and existence resides.
When Ging, Beyond Netero, and the expedition team arrive…
They encounter Don and Zigg — not as ghosts or ruins, but as immortal survivors.
---
PART 3: Nanika, Ai, and the True Final Conflict
Alluka Zoldyck, one of the least shown but most impactful characters in the series, is the key to everything.
Her power doesn’t follow Nen logic.
Her rules come from something far more ancient.
And her abilities are linked to a known threat from the Dark Continent:
> "Ai" — one of the Five Calamities.
The Theory:
Don and Zigg recognize Nanika immediately.
> “You brought that thing… here?”
Nanika is not just a curse — she’s either a fragment, a child, or an incarnation of Ai, a godlike being of desire and death.
The world hasn’t seen the true cost of her powers yet.
Prediction:
The final arc will revolve around Killua’s attempt to protect Alluka, even as she begins to lose control.
Don and Zigg will present the ultimate dilemma:
> “If she continues to exist — the world ends. But if she dies… so does the last hope of understanding Ai.”
Gon, regaining his Nen, may be forced to choose sides — and face the very power that once saved his life.
---
Conclusion:
Kurapika finishes his arc through vengeance.
Gyro rises as the new symbol of darkness.
Don and Zigg return as living relics of truth.
And Alluka/Nanika becomes the center of a final choice between love, survival, and cosmic balance.
This isn’t just about battles anymore.
It’s about what kind of world humanity deserves — and who pays the price for it.

Predator Franchise The Predator's don't view humanity as easy prey, and humans are actually respected as some of the most dangerous game
Less a theory and more of a headcanon, but often when discussing the Predator franchise people will assert that humans are super easy prey for Predators. And that makes sense. Humans are very fragile, and the Predator's advanced technology makes us super easy to sneak up on and annihilate in any number of gruesome and entertaining ways. Our weapons are almost completely ineffective against their armor, and even without their weapons a Predator is still much bigger, faster, and stronger than any human ever could be. Of course they see us as basically the equivalent of hunting rabbits, humans suck!
And yet, every single Predator movie ever made features a Predator dieing at the hands of a human. Despite all of their natural advantages, humans are somehow able to repeatedly best them. In Prey, a human manages to kill a Predator using mostly stone age weapons. You gotta think, in their society which puts so much emphasis on honor and combat, humans can't be seen as easy prey. In fact, maybe the reason Predators keep coming to Earth is because humans are respected as some of the most dangerous prey. Maybe completing a hunt on Earth is actually considered a high achievement among Predators. I don't know, there's no real evidence for this, this is just a thought I had and I think it makes a more interesting story than just "monster thinks humans suck until human kills monster".

FnaF 4 - Nightmare Theory
This is just what I think but everyone knows Nightmare in FnaF 4, right? Well I think the night with him will determine the child's fate.
Think about it, Nightmare is the last character you're dealing with in the game after the bite of 83. Him being essentially the one who determines what happens to the child would make sense because it's the last night.
If the child either wins or dies during that time one of two things will happen.
1. The last thing that child will see is Nightmare's face staring at them for all eternity with no way to get the image out of their mind.
2. If the child wins, he will die peacefully without the image of Nightmare in his head.
Nightmare is essentially the gateway to whatever fate the child has earned.
A major thing to note is slowing down Nightmare's jumpscare sound, if you slow it down, it sounds like a distorted ambulance siren, this essentially fills in the fact the night either happens in the ambulance or at the hospital whilst this child is either dying slowly or still alive.
That's my theory on Nightmare from FnaF 4
The question I'll get asked a lot is, does this apply to Nightmarionne? Take that with a pinch of salt for what you will because you can say Nightmarionne is also responsible but you can say he's not, it's really what you wanna say.

Interstellar is not what you think
Disclaimer - this post isn't to offend anyone, neither I'm here to compare Interstellar with 2001 a space odyssey nor I'm saying one is copy of other or one is better, it's just I've a theory, something that connects the two...
First of all let's have a look on how both movies have similarities :-
1.) in both movies NASA is working on some secret space mission, which they don't tell others about
2.) both movies have a trigger which leads them towards the mission, in Interstellar it was the plane which cooper hacks, in 2001 it was monolith which they found on moon
3.) lead actors in both movies have no idea about the real mission
4.) both have AIs
5.) a member from the crew betrays them by false info and tries to kill lead actor, in Interstellar it was Dr mann whereas in 2001 it was HAL
6.) both have intense docking scene just after the betrayal
7.) again one object appears which makes the protagonist travels through a space time phenomenon where he sees himself in different ages
8.) both ends with our lead character on some new planet without anyone knowing in Interstellar it was Dr brand while in 2001 it was obv dave on some unknown dimension
9.) both movies have some other dimensional being helping the main character
"The most beautiful thing that hit me is, 2001 a space odyssey starts when human race is just about to get started whereas Interstellar starts when human race is about to get vanished"
Maybe the monolith we saw on moon in space odyssey which directed towards jupiter, maybe they misunderstood the message maybe the message was actually hinting towards Interstellar when earth will no longer be suitable for human survival then humans should come on Jupiter but they took it as, there is something on Jupiter which made them to send dave there but he became a star child and if we notice in Interstellar the multi dimensional being were called "THEY" which sounds very similar to "DAVE" maybe when dave became a star child he helped cooper through tesseract maybe it that was the reason of monolith..again it's just a theory, both the movies are my personal favourites and I'm not comparing them or accusing them to be a copy of one another, it's purely a creative idea..
