NEW BOREGARD LORE

NEW lore : it appears that he was hired to kill his family and has been told to keep it a secret but he is shown to be high reviling his secret. Also In this video he speaks about gender equality and the nature of man kind. This could indicate that he was hired for a political reason talks about “the gift of God”. In Christianity the gift of God is jesus’s death to save the world from sin. This idea is further supported by his bio which states “I’m not Jesus but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t live here”. It is entirely possible he works for a cult that believes that either his child or wife was another child of God, and by killing them he is saving the world from sin yet again. We see a joker card on his table This could mean that the entire cult wanted him to kill himself (jokers plan from the movie to change the world) but instead he killed his wife and kid believing the are the offspring of God We learn that Boregard misses his wife called Gracy. We know this since he says that she appears in his dreams. This could be God punishing him for what he did

What about this in a video?

Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. A musical with no voices and just music that runs synchronously with beautiful Disney animations. It's from an era when Disney was still producing great animated features.

heretic film theory suggestion

I have a film theory

I don't know if you still do theory requests anymore since MatPat left but I just went to see this movie heretic and I thought that Theory 1. the other people in the cages in the basement didn't get the whole spiel about religion being a copy of stories in the past and that they only told that to them and the girl that went off script because when they were served coke in the beginning of the film when they entered the house, they didn't drink it. there was probably something in the drink and when everybody else drank it the guy brought them to the basement right then but because they didn't drink it they had to bring them to the basement when they were conscious, and he had to make a reason to go through the other room and he made them willfully go down into the basement by writing the "belief" and "disbelief" thing, but the reason I think the girl who went off script also got the spiel is because when the drinks were served the conversation topic was having multiple wives and I think that when he kidnaps them they get Stockholm syndrome and agree to be his wives. And when they got the monologue, they are not as impressionable to believe a miracle as if he was just talking about religion in a curious way as to if the last time, he was talking about religion was when he was disproving it.

Theory 2. she never actually escaped the basement and died when she was stabbed, because when it's explaining the death experience it says 1., visited by an angel 2., clouds that aren't heaven and 3., out of body experience, which can describe the last few series of events of the movie, 1., the other missionary goes over to try save her, 2., the snow on the ground when she makes it out 3., the butterfly landing on her hand.

I know it's a lot of writing sorry never actually came up with a theory before though thxgfor reading

Please do “It’s Time For The”

This is an object show with ongoing lore and episodes and there are many different channels “worlds” leaking into this main one, channel 51. This has some serious theory potential. Please Lee hear my pleas!

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

In the Scott Pilgrim movie, the second evil ex performs skateboard grind over a long descending stairrail. As he's going it shows how fast he's going in the corner and it maxes out at 309 kph or 192 mph. Is it physically ossible to skateboard at that speed, and if it is would the skater boi even survive or would they explode into a pile of Canadian coins like Lucas Lee?

PB

Can film theory address the massive lore behind Princess bubblegum from adventure time, like she has one of the most complex lore in the show and a very dark side to that lore. Like how she became the candy Princess and how she maintained power, her "familly" lore in itself is immense. Why in the start of the series when we got introduced to lemongrab was she only 13 even though we find out later on that she is >800 years old. And maybe address that one episode with the creepy deer as a bonus please 🙏.

So I have an Outer Banks theory. (Counts as film theory, right?) SPOILERS!!

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4!! IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED SEASON 4 DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ!!

So at the end of season 4 we see Groff getting away with the Blue crown, after killing JJ. We know by the legends said in the show that the crown can grant a wish. What if when the pogues retrieve the crown, they go back to where they buried JJ and wish him alive??? I mean they mention the wish so many times, it’s got to be a factor. I think there will also be a catch. If they use the crown for a wish, the crown disintegrates. Which means they lose any and all money tied to it. However, they turn Groff in and all charges are dropped. Sarah gets part of her inheritance and Poguelandia stays forever.

The Breakfast Club (1985) is about the victims of a mass shooting

*WARNING, DARK SHIT BELOW INCLUDING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SUICIDE AND MASS SCHOOL SHOOTINGS*

Okay, so this might have already made the rounds and I'm sure someone more eloquent has worded it better than I am about to do, but I have a BIG theory about John Hughes' The Breakfast Club.

Those five kids, the janitor, and the principal are all in purgatory after dying during a school shooting.

It's nothing new to say that the school in The Breakfast Club is purgatory and all five of those kids are already dead. Heck, Vernon and Reed have been compared to Satan and God respectively before so all of this isn't new. But take this initial thought as a placeholder.

Why are all five of those kids in detention on a Saturday? We learn throughout the course of the film that they each committed their own heinous offences and are banged up in detention for one Saturday to write essays. Andrew the jock is in for beating up and taping a boy's butt cheeks together, John the criminal pulled a fire alarm, Clare the princess skipped school, Allison the outcast is just attending detention anyway, and Brian the nerd brought a flare gun into school.

Can you start to see where the pieces come together already?

Midway through the film, Andrew recounts why he is in detention and tells the story of how he humiliated a skinny boy named Larry Lester by beating him to a pulp and taping his butt cheeks together. Initially in telling this story, Clare, and Andrew to an extent, find the early details hilarious but a sullen Brian is shocked and the mood of the talk turns dark.

Later on, Brian talks of why he is in detention, and it's because he brought a flare gun into school under the plans of committing suicide due to the ongoing pressures of school, and failing a class he deems simple to achieve.

But what if these two stories intersect, and the other three reasons for being in detention are metaphors for how they actually died?

What if, Brian was the student who Andrew beat up and humiliated? Or maybe as a close friend of Larry Lester, he'd just wanted justice for what happened to his friend? What if failing shop class was just the straw that broke the camels back, Brian took it upon himself to get back at Andrew?

Brian goes to school the next day armed with a gun and kills Andrew. Clare, who was supposed to be skipping school that day, was sitting next to Andrew when he died and was second to be killed by Brian. John Bender, in a moment of heroism, pulled a fire alarm to get other kids out the school, and was shot dead by Brian. Allison, the girl who had nothing better to do but be in detention, was collateral damage during the shooting and maybe caught a stray bullet from Brian? When they ask why she is in detention (why did she die?) Allison has no lies, and makes up stories because that is reality trying to manifest a reason or a life for her - could even be her parents writing her eulogy?

Vice Principal Vernon, and Carl Reed are the last two caught in the crossfire; maybe Vernon refused to punish Andrew for his bullying, and Carl tried to talk Brian down (we know they are friends early in the film). Brian completes suicide and turns the gun on himself after killing Andrew, Clare, John, Vernon, and Reed (he doesn't know he killed Allison too).

We can even say all of this took place in the school library.

So, are they in purgatory? Yes. They're awaiting which way they are going - heaven or hell.

John is threatened of eternity in hell by the very devil himself (when Vernon promises to find and beat the shit out of him), and is only spared when Clare gives him her diamond earring, a sparkling object which could be seen as his angel's halo. Heck, John's walk across the football field with a fist in the air is him cheering his own acceptance into heaven.

Allison, a girl who has been ignored her whole life is finally "seen" and will be immortally recognised. She even has a makeover that makes her angelic. Only in death, is this basket case finally seen and her beauty is made up for even the most popular boys to see.

Andrew, having repented for his part in torturing Brian/Lester, is given a new life as the patch on his jacket is removed, separating him from the jocular life from before.

And finally Brian; who is the reason they are all there in the first place, is made to write the essay as punishment and acknowledge what he did in life.

They leave their notes for the devil as they leave, heading up to the good place or bad.

There's way more symbolism to support this, but right now I'm standing by this theory and the narrative.

The S.A.I. Tapes (Possible Theory)

Hey Film Theorists, Apparently There's a new analog horror that I think might have some servers to hide and/or find. It's Called the S.A.I. Tapes and It seems Really Intriguing... https://youtu.be/E1HHyXNDqGM?si=kgxOL5pH5V5cy14N

Is it possible to make another Barbenheimer?

Barbie and Oppenheimer were major successes for many reasons, with one of the biggest being the Barbenheimer meme. That meme worked because the movies were polar opposites, yet had a few similarities, like the cast of mostly well-known actors and a discussion of “What if man had too much power?” And so, studios tried to recreate it, to next to no avail, with the most notable example being Lionsgate and Paramount combining the releases of Saw X and Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie into Saw Patrol, which many just found dumb. While those movies were successful, I doubt it was because of Saw Patrol. So, is it possible to recreate this? With what movies could this work, and why would it work?

How can I ask for them not to do a certain theory

Hey I'm new to the server and I was wondering if there is a way I can request they not do a theory or at least delay it for a bit b/c I'm working on a project for school that is very food/film based as well as a bit of style and I'm worried ill cover it and before I submit it, they post a video and I get copyrighted the thing is it's a 3-month project that I'm doing as an honors project for college  

Thank you, 

College Theorist, 

P.S Sorry if this counts as breaking rule 5 or spam bc I'm posting in each related subreddit

This looks like lore to me

From what I’ve seen of the series of shorts by @therealsamalkhatib it seems like he has made a whole story and I was wondering about y’all’s thoughts on if this would be a good video?

DIGITAL CIRCUS

Stay with me guys.... WHAT IF Pomni is the second owner/dev? The A in the company name. Thats why names matter so much, the real names of these characters may reveal the company name? "He just wants me to suffer" could be referring to the other dev... which could be Jax? (A stretch I know). Pomni means "remember" in another lanuage, it could be trying to tell her to REMEMBER why she was sent in the game.

A quiet place

I was watching "Why Musicians will ALWAYS survive a quite place,"that Mat did. Some of the instruments that was mentioned were flute, piano, piccolo and violin. Why not clarinets? I play the clarinet and we can go pretty high and even higher than flutes. So what about the clarinets making noise for death angles? Just thinking....
