Crazy Fan Theories So Logical We Bought It



Yep, fans are crazy people.
I can't think of someone who doesn't belong to a fandom, be it some culturally significant film or a book that revolutionized how kids and/or adults read. I also admit belonging to some, although for someone who spends a lot of time watching (and partly reading) it would be hard not to belong to at least two.

But some fans bring fanaticism to a whole new level, often deeper than the multi-layered dream in Inception. I am referring to the fans who don't believe in the phrase coined by Freud (or whoever really said this): Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. These people, who, rather than enjoying the material as it is, try to come up and present logical reasoning to the things that seem incomprehensible to the average viewer and/or reader to satisfy everyone's already mindblown brains. Although some are really logical that sooner or later we wouldn't be surprised when producers and authors reveal that the theory isn't a theory at all, most are just really out of this world. But hey, these theories are good for an afternoon read and something to ponder upon before sleeping.

And that's what I did the whole afternoon and what I plan to do before sleeping, all thanks to user FrancisDollarHyde on reddit who posted this: What 'fan theories' have blown your mind with their devastating logic? And I would like to share those that I've found to be really interesting.
