5 Movie And TV Fan Theories That Make Way Too Much Sense

4 Game Of Thrones Has Been Slowly Building Up To An Epic Fight Known As "Cleganebowl" (And It Will Result In Cersei's Death)

The world of Game Of Thrones is populated entirely with characters who hate each other, but none hate each other more than brothers Sandor "The Hound" and Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane. Their hatred is so legendary that there's a long-running fan theory that the two are overdue for an apocalyptic fight to the death known as "Cleganebowl." The theory even has its own subreddit, which is full of desperate Cleganebowlievers seeing clues in everything from badly Photoshopped pictures to cute animal videos and shouting "CLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED!" at them.

According to the fandom, this showdown has been foretold since the beginning -- almost literally, considering that the first salvo in this war was fired by Gregor when he damn near burnt Sandor's face off as a child. We've had sporadic dust-ups and near-misses since, but we're clearly due something. The show, after all, brought back both characters from near-death. In the case of Gregor, it's clear that there's a plan for him. Since he was zombified in Season 5, he's mostly served as a glorified bodyguard, which isn't exactly befitting his character. It's almost as if he's being kept around ... waiting for something.

There's even an extended version of this theory which states that Cleganebowl is destined to end with a victorious Sandor killing Cersei Lannister, on account of a prophecy delivered to her as a child: "When your tears have drowned you, the valonqar [little brother] shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." Admittedly, this prophecy only appears in the books, not in the television adaptation, which robs it of some significance, but it's nice to dream that they're going to deliver an ending which doesn't involve Cersei being killed by her twincestuous brother Jaime. You know, a surprising ending.

3 Get Out Is A Sequel To Being John Malkovich

Get Out is one of the best films of recent years. It's a dark yet humorous satire in which a cabal of old people are looking to live forever by forcefully transferring their minds into the head of someone younger, with a major role by actress Catherine Keener. When have you ever seen anything like- hey, wait a minute.

In 1999's Being John Malkovich, Craig (John Cusack) discovers a portal in his office that leads directly into John Malkovich's head and allows him to take over the actor's body, albeit only for a short time. Some weird stuff happens, and Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich, the movie ends with Craig's wife Lotte (Cameron Diaz) shacking up with Maxine (played by Catherine Keener) to raise a baby -- a baby who, unbeknownst to everyone, contains Craig's helpless consciousness.

According to this theory by Madeline Popelka, Get Out is a continuation of Maxine's story. She takes the baby, who grows into Rose (Allison Williams' character, the creepy mayonnaise girl who doesn't want her colored cereal miscegenating with her white cereal), and spends the next two decades experimenting with brains in the hopes of finding a way to make the transplant permanent. Along the way she moves to the suburbs, marries, changes her name to Missy (Keener's Get Out character), and sets up shop as the savior of the white race. She also uses Rose, her mind warped by decades of having John Cusack plugged into her brain stem, as a honeypot to lure black people to their mental enslavement.

2 The Dad From Home Alone Is In The Mob

The internet has made a small cottage industry out of over-analyzing Home Alone, dealing with everything from plot holes to how badly Kevin would've put Wet Bandits Harry and Marv in the ground in real life. Let's add to that madness and talk about the fact that this movie only makes sense if, as Redditor cubanesis points out, Kevin's dad is a high-level member of the mob.

When Harry and Marv are casing the neighborhood, Harry mentions that the McCallister place is the "big one" -- the house that he's had his eye on for months. They even describe it as being loaded with fine jewelry, a cash hoard, unmarked securities, and high-end electronic goods. But why would they think that? There are no obvious trappings of wealth (unless you include those two bitchin' station wagons), and Harry's surveillance only extends to the bottom of the stairs. Unless ... they know Kevin's dad, Peter McCallister, is a mobster, and so they're building a perfect stash based on what they think mobsters have in their homes -- possibly helped by constant viewings of Goodfellas.

1 Snape From The Harry Potter Series Is A Trans Woman

In the years following the end of her money-jizzing book series, J.K. Rowling has kept busy trying to make the Harry Potter world as retroactively progressive as possible. She revealed Dumbledore was gay, claimed that Hermione was never explicitly described as white, asserted that werewolf-ism is a metaphor for HIV, and drew attention to the single Jewish person mentioned in the books. Sure, none of that is as progressive as actually including those things in the books in the first place, but it's a nice try.
