Things You Don't Necessarily Need to Know - Useless Facts

10 Fan Theories in Films

211. Skynet from the Terminator films spares the humans to give itself a purpose to exist. If you think about it, this makes actually pretty much sense: I mean, Skynet infiltrated every computer (including the military's) so it has complete control over nuclear weapons and thus could easily wipe out the entire human civilization. But it didn't, because Skynet is smart enought to understand that if the humans are wiped out, it would be left with some Terminators aimlessly wandering around a dead planet. Super logic, right?

212. The villain from Skyfall is actually M's son. This would explain why he refers to M as "mother". Moreover, the message he sent M ("Think on your sins") is an anagram for "Your son isn't in HK (Honk Kong)" which is, so to say, the big reveal to M that Silva isn't in Hong Kong where he was selled out to the Chinese government by her.

213. The content of Marcellus Wallace's briefcase remains unknown during "Pulp Fiction". A fan theory says that it actually contains his soul which he sold to the devil. The code number for the briefcase being 666 (the number of satan) and the band aid at the back of his neck (where the devil takes out one's soul) are seen as proofs to this theory.

214. Mufasa from 'The Lion King' is said to be a god as his consciousness survives the death of his physical body and he has weather controlling super powers which change Pride Rock to a desolation that will last as long as Scar is in charge.

215. It has always been Gandalf's secret plan to use the Eagles to fly to Mordor in The Lord of the Rings. He was just killed before he and the fellowship reached the Misty Mountains where the Eagles lived. The best part: When Gandalf hangs on the edge of the abyss and yells "Fly, you fools!" he literally means "Fly the rest of the way!" instead of "Run!".

216. Stanley Kubrick actually directed the moon landing and left proofs in his adaption of Stephen King's book "The Shining". Evidences are the Apollo 11 sweater Danny is wearing and the hotel room number being changed from 217 to 237, the distance between the earth and the moon.

217. James Bond is said to be a codename, not a person! I mean, seriously, why should we believe all these adventures are happening to one single guy? Also, positions like Q or M are passed down from agent to agent, too, so why wouldn't this work for James Bond?

218. Doc Brown from "Back to the Future" is apparantly suicidal. Him standing in the path of a speeding DeLorean is seen as a suicide attempt and he is only saved by the fact that the car jumps back in time. Furthermore, there are two theories: First, he is said to be depressed because none of his experiments ever work and the time-travelling DeLorean was the only thing that didn't fail so he had a purpose in life again. Second, Doc (as an aging outsider descending into madness and living without any family and only few friends), falls in love in the end so he discovers there actually is a reason to live.

219. Hogwarts is actually all in Harry Potter's head. As a child being abused by his few family members and living in a cupboard under the stairs, he created a magical alternate reality where he is the most important person in the world. That doesn't really explain what happened to his parents, though, or the scar on his forehead...

220. E.T. is a Jedi! In one scene in Star Wars, E.T.-like creatures can be seen in the senate and in one scene, a kid dressed as Yoda appears in "E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial". Upon seeing Yoda, E.T. says "Home!" because he recognizes him as they are from the same galaxy. Also, the fyling bike? The force! So... E.T. IS A FREAKING JEDI!
