sure, but also: drowning itself is a statement in itself. water has a varity of meainings in bioshock. bioshock1 and 2 take place under water completely, with many sections of flooding. the crash in the first game leads to all people probably dieying drowning. in bioshock 3 water has religious meaning, as you have the baptism scenes, you have to boat sections (which are a bit like a styx ride), etc. Id say, that if anything, the big constant is, that water is both giving and taking life. water flows and you flow to, with a life that starts somewhere and ends somewhere in the stream of time.
@@RickyPro888 People may be English learners. While the approach comes across as a bit crass, it could actually be helpful to English learners to better understand the rules. The commenter didn't just correct them; they explained the difference between two homophones (words that sound the same but have different spelling).

I liked the idea that Reinhardt was Pharah's dad. If you look at the uncommon skin names, Ana's are all precious stones, Reinhardts' are all hard metals, and Pharah's are two of each
I really like the idea of a Halo character named Dustin Echoes, fighting parallel battles to MC across the universe trying to reach the Chief to avenge his fellow Marines.
For the Halo Theory, it's more likely that Chief didn't want to unbalance the pod with his half ton armor. standing in the center would have distributed the weight
ULTRAMANZX And his Spartan strength allowed him to hold on easily. Or his armor might've locked up (like it did when he fell from space at the beginning of Halo 3) Either way, him bracing himself instead of sitting down and putting on a seatbelt is actually the smartest move he could've possibly done.
I mean, coming in at the speed and velocity, not to mention the trajectory, that's shown....truthfully I don't know why the damn thing didn't blow and vaporize most of everything like it would in say an airplane crash of the same variables. Even if his half ton armor was pinging around, (which from where he was standing, technically he should have gone flying backwards and smashed into the pilot only, OR went flying forwards into the door and smashed through (depending on how the shuttle hit)) which is highly unlikely, the impact would have caused such internal damage to the occupants that ALL of them should be dead, including Master Chief. (Also, huge swatch of water right there that they could have landed in and softened impact, allowing more people to survive...yet Cortana lands on ground. WTF??)
13thMaiden A few points to remember are: 1. The game takes place in 2552, their technology is clearly not the same as ours. You can't base half of your assumptions off of our technology. 2. Chief would not have been tossed around like a rag doll... as long as the hand rails he was holding onto could support the combined weight of the MJOLNIR armor and force of the impact. 3. Cortana could not have landed in the water because she wasn't driving lol.
The 8th theory is that Sans is Ness. Tbh, I don't believe it's true, but Sans might be a really cool tribute to Earthbound, the obvious inspiration to Undertale.
Fun Fact: In a patch for Bioshock 1 released at the same time as Bioshock Infinite you can actually hear Songbird's death cry when you first enter Fort Frolic implying that the Rapture you teleport to briefly in infinite is the same Rapture from Bioshock 1.
Brandon Welsh, you can hear Songbird in Bioshock 2 also. Which either means that A: It is a sound effect that they used for Songbird that happened to be in the first two games. Or, if you like to enjoy life, that B: An alternate universe Booker and Elizabeth enter Rapture in Bioshock 2 around the time of the games events, meaning Bioshock 2 occurs in a different universe than the first game. Which explains why 1: Andrew Ryan feels like a different person than the Ryan in the first game. And 2: Why Sophia Lamb, along with several other things, seem to simply not exist in Bioshock. They never existed in that version of Rapture to begin with, which is why you never hear anything about Lamb. Those Raptures share a common timeline, like the timelines that you jump between in Colombia during Infinite, but similarly, the Raptures in the first and second games are different Raptures. That's always been my theory about Bioshock 2, since it never felt like it belonged with either Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite.
I have searched far and wide for that 2 second clip of Jane quietly and heartbrokenly saying "my project!" It's actually an inside joke with my sister now
I always felt that Chel and GLADOS had more of a sisters vibe honestly. The constant adoption jokes, making fun of her but stopping others from doing the same, homicide attempts.......more sibling feel than parental imho.
I mean you could argue that since GLADOS was a copy of Caroline's mind, and not actually Caroline herself, GLADOS could be considered Caroline's daughter as well. Sort of like how Cortana was made from a snapshot of Dr Halsey's brain, but isn't Dr Halsey.
you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Korbyn Paxton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Regarding Squall... 1: He was impaled on his right side, towards the edge, which would definitely puncture a lung and break a bunch of ribs, but would likely leave his heart intact, which is a good thing. Not necessarily deadly, but the worst thing at that point(aside from the fluid in the lung) would be the shock involved. 2: This universe has cure spells and magical resurrect-people-from-being-dead spells. So yeah. While it WOULD make more sense for the rest of the game to... you know.... not exist(Because let's face it, it goes from being an inter-governmental intrigue plot to being about flying buildings and wibbly wobbly sorcery REAL quick), if we were to use that as a plot device, it would make more sense for the rest of the game to be a bit more of a weird fever dream. Squall is, after all, Alive, but perhaps dreaming the whole mess, or worse, awake and alive, and severely misinterpreting how the world works. Perhaps to the point where he goes and visits his dad and his imagination gets WAY away from him when his dad recounts his life story to him or something.
TacComControl I actually always liked the way the story started kinda grounded (but still all magicky and sci-fi) on the first disc, then introduced more magic and weirdness in disc 2, and by the end of disc 3 we've got secret empires, monsters from the moon, time traveling witches possessing each other, and, of course, time compression. It feels like the world was full of this stuff from the beginning, you just hadn't been exposed to it yet. Also, the Squall is living out his "final fantasies" thing makes very little sense, as almost nothing that happens after disc one (and including disc one, tbh) is anything we are given a hint that Squall wants. Except maybe Rinoa. The only real "want" we are given is that he wants to know his family or whatever from that flashback, and even though he does eventually meet his dad, it's never outright stated that they are actually related, nor is their a heartfelt reunion or anything. They just meet and work together to stop the sorceress. The whole thing is a square peg with the corners rounded from being smashed so hard into a round hole. But good job, supporters-of-this-theory, you made another weak "protagonist is dead" theory. We're all so proud.
@@xdecatron2985 Also doesn't help that if memory recalls the writer debunked the theory flat out saying that wasn't anywhere near what was going on. He did find the theory fascinating though.
Guys, everyone in this thread is correct. It just depends on what angle you're veiwing her from really.... For instance from the Doctors perspective she's a blue police box in a dress. From mine she's Omnitraxis in a dress.... I imagine from Dippers perspective she's a giant floating Baby....
Plasma Octopus no sir, not time travel, but alternate realities and time-frames! there are a infinite amount of realities thay exist, example, you might not have been born in one, but in another, you might have created the universe in whitch you would create an exact replica realm of halo.
What does that make Andy? Maybe Andy is a hallucination of Jane brought on by a bug her code intentionally put there by Luke and Ellen, with the intent to push Jane into betraying Mike. This would make sense as we all know that Luke and Ellen are really government agents.
John Vuojolainen We definitely need to put our brains together on this... I've got a plan. I'll get the magnets and you get the orca whale. Jane's malevolence shall be no more.
Proffesional idiot There's a rather old fanfiction called "The Secret Story of Dustin Echoes" by author and Lego MOC builder Saber-Scorpion which can be found on his website. I believe there's also a marine named Dustin Echoes in Halo 5 as an Easter egg.
The Mass Effect one makes a lot of sense. I thought it was weird how even before that kid died and became a guilt ghost he acted pretty ominous, hiding in a vent, interacting with no one and saying "you can't help me" like he was PLANNING to die tragically. He was shifty from the start.
Not to mention that shepard spend a ton of time around an active reaper indoctrination weapon in the arrival dlc, that the description of oily shadows fit to his dreams, that nothing after harbingers blast makes any sense, harbinger wouldn't just fly off, anderson wouldn't be able to go into the stream before you, the crucible itself taking parts from other ships, anderson getting shot, yet somehow shepard has the wound and so on. I really wonder what was going on, maybe bioware had a bigger ending in place and EA was all like "no we need sequelfooder". This could have gone down as one of the best metagames ever in gaming history, they set the stage, willing or unwillingly, then they had this shitstorm on their hands and a fan theory allready fitting all loose ends together and all they would have needed to do is say "congratulations guys you figured it out, it was all a test", giving them time to cobble together a better ending and some endbossfight with harbinger and a more satisfying end, but nope..we will show the mass relays exploding, even if that means that they should whipe out everything that is in the starcluster and either strand or kill everyone in the sol starsystem, which, depending on your gatherings, is basicly everyone anyway.
@1005rhys If I recall, it was debunked by Casey "I am going to lock myself in a room and write the ending my damn self" Hudson who doesn't seem like the type of person to accept a fan theory. Drew Karpyshyn is who you should be asking who was the head writer for 1 and 2, and he admits that is an ending they thought of and did begin to drop hints for.
Fan theory: Mike and Jane are actually siblings, and Andy is an android (because obviously), created by their father to protect them. Who is their father, you ask? Simple... Luke. Luke is actually from the distant past, but because he had to travel into the future to be here, he had to create the robot to protect his children when he could not. Ellen is, of course, a red herring.
The Mass Effect 3 indoctrination theory was the first thing that popped into my head when I played the game. i spent the bulk of 3 games with one goal in mind: destroy the reapers. Now that I'm mere seconds away from accomplishing that task, suddenly the Reapers have a happy ending for me? Hell no, I'm not trusting a hasty happy ending with Bioware, the same developer who made mind-controlling desire demons in the Dragon Age series.
Professor Utonium The only thing that made me want to choose a different ending was the fact that destroying the reapers essentially killed off EDI, the Geth (which my Shepard made peace with them and the Quarians), and all other Synthetic life. It just sort of felt off to me. Saving the Geth race only to kill them off later after they helped you. Not only that, but they're helping the Quarians get the technology to eventually live without their suits. And killing them off just sort of crushes that reality. And with EDI, I just feel too bad for Joker. All the endings suck in their own way lol
I killed them all and EDI survived cause Joker did his thing. (guy is so stubborn he even stops others from dying) They landed on the planet and EDI walked out with him. Was happy to see she made it.
Well, if you listen to the Catalyst (Hologram Kid). it explains that. 'My Solution won't work anymore'. It gives you the options, since, if you don't do anything, the next cycle will get there anyway. Since Liara sent out the black boxes. So, it decides to allows Shepard to choose the future of the universe. And there isn't really any 'Happy Ending'. You can destroy the Reapers, along with All other synthetic Life, and yourself. You can add your energy to the catalyst, and transform all organic life, and die. Or take control of the reapers, and 'die'. But, the AI kid believes that. if you destroy them, eventually someone will create another version of him, and it will all just begin again. And if you control them, then eventually you will come to the same conclusion it did. And, it also believes the Synthesis is inevitable, so, in reality, it doesn't care what you choose, since it believes that eventually Synthesis will happen. The Indoctrination Theory has been debunked as well.
Indoctrination theory isn't possible. In the Mass Effect Novels (Specifically Retribution), we follow a man named Grayson Hunt as Cerberus runs experiments on Reaper technology on him. He escapes, and is indoctrinated. We see the entire process of indoctrination through his eyes, showing that he is fully aware of what is happening, he knows he is indoctrinated and is powerless to stop it as the Reapers slowly take over his mind. Makes the whole thing all the more horrifying when you stop and realize that every inoctrinated person or creature you killed knew what they were doing and couldn't stop it.
My favorita fan theory is that in Dragon Age Inquisition, when you're picking whether to either leave Hawke or the warden (be it Alistair, Stroud, or Loghain) in the fade, that it should be Hawke that stays BECAUSE in DA2 Flemeth says to Hawke, " We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment… and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you fly." Meaning that the fade is the abyss and he needs to "jump." Which also leads me to believe that Hawke will be ok. Also, the quest this takes place during is literally called "Here lies the Abyss."
Oh my God guys! You have ruined Halo forever for me... Dustin Echoes?! God damn! I laughed so hard at that. After all these years of playing that game over and over and over again, I never once thought of it like that.
R'mur yea but in the halo novel first strike we learn that there were actually 4 living humans who escaped halo with the Chief and one clinically dead spartan (Linda-058) who was in cryogenic suspension floating in space around the ring while the events of the game occurred.
Linda was latter revived and brought back to life by Dr Halsey which is why she is in halo 5. But to truely to get the whole picture, read the novels and graphic novels. Dam good stories that connect the dots of all the games and provide so much enjoyable CANONICAL lore on the Halo series as a whole
accept for early books retcon because bungie ignored some parts of the book which 343i has try and has done a decent job to fix but some of it just cant be without time jumping or something. which would make Halo stupid.
Personal fan theory of mine is that Chell became deaf during testing some time before the first portal game. Since she never meets anyone with a mouth, she never realizes she is being spoken to. The _player_ hears what is going on, but it is all lost on Chell. As a result, she has not idea what is going on most of the time. Try playing through the portal games with this in mind, it gets so much funnier!
another major theory ie that chell is GLaDOS,s original body after he consciousness was rip out to turn her into an AI that's why chell doesn't know anything
That sounds funny but she also replies (sort of, more shows recognition of what he says) to wheatley at the beginning of portal 2, jumping instead of saying apple
I feel like it makes more sense that master chief's half ton armor + the weight of all the marines exceeded the safe carrying weight of the escape pod and caused it to crash harder than it usually would and killed everyone but the heavily armored master chief who got up and walked it off, In the past masterchief has has successfully free fallen from space only being unconscious when he hit the surface, the same is inferred at the start of the mission, that masterchief was unconscious from that impact as well.
5:20 I mean seeing as according to this theory Chell is a reminder of the fact that Cave Johnson took *everything* from her, I could see her deciding to take out her feelings about cave on her daughter after a couple of years to stew on it.
Have you all heard about the theory of how Batman may have caused Harley Quinn to have a miscarriage in Batman Arkham City? Like why else would there suddenly be positive pregnancy tests and her singing at the end credits?
The negative ones show up in Harley's Revenge and I believe they are all found in a crib. The positive one is found before you beat the shit out of her.
Brain mapping erased much of GlaDOS' memories/emotions while boosting her thought processes/scientific knowledge. She didn't remember being Caroline until she heard her voice and pieced it together She may not remember Chell is her daughter at all. In the perpetual testing initiative one of the universes they visit had cave Johnson in the AI core and he was driven insane by the process of amassing so much knowledge so quickly, and was going to kill everyone just like GlaDOS did.
There is a lot of research into the Mass Effect 3 theory on TH-cam and you'll find that the theory doesn't pan out throughout the whole game series. However, during an interview, the creators admitted they toyed with the idea of Shepard being indoctrinated and I think some of that got left in the game.
wtf 5 views? Has Jane tele-located me to a universe where I'm actually quick to watch these videos? Jane - I appreciate your unwavering desire to mess around with the universe.
...Ana doesn't sound flirty with Soldier 76 at all. Now with Reinhardt, shes definitly flirting. And mind you, despite the fact that I think Reinhardt is infinitly more likely to be Pharah's dad, I still don't think thats true since Pharah know who her father is. Its a mistery to us but not to her. So if her father was anyone in Overwatch, don't you think she'd have some interaction with him? And beside, Ana raised Pharah alone, neither Soldier 76 or Reinhardt strike me as guys who would never be around when their kid grow up. I think her dad is dead, simple as that.
Good points. Also possible is that her dad hasn't joined the game yet. He might be a future hero, or if it was Morrison or Reyes, they are basically new people now. Soldier and Reaper are not referred to by their own names by anyone except Mercy (as far as I recall) So if it is actually Soldier, her dad was (Morrison) and Morrison is considered KIA.
Who else could it be? The overwatch crew have stated that it's not a boyfriend, as well as the fact they are in Canada, of which her Thunderbird skin indicates she most likely has Canadian native heritage.
Aleksandra Zaryanova I think that man is her father as well, but all the evidence you mentioned is circumstantial and is not proof that this is cannon. He may just be a friend from work.
It could just be GLaDOS remarking on how Chell has been shaped by what she experienced at GLaDOS' metaphorical hands (which, given how much of a egocentric megalomaniac GLaDOS is, wouldn't be surprising), and not necessarily insinuating a familial relationship. As such, it isn't canon.
People think Game Theory came up with that? It was being discussed on BSN literally the day ME3 was released and the first players ran through the game at top speed to see what happens.
Theory: The mushroom kingdom is actually purgatory, and Mario & Luigi died while working on some very shoddy plumbing, as seen in the first episode of the super Mario Brothers Super Show. Bowser represents Satan (horns, fire) and Peach is the Virgin Mary (which is why she makes cake for Mario instead of having sex with him). Also, Toad is Jesus or something, I don't know, Peach pulls him out of nowhere in Super Smash Bros, that has to mean something, look, I just made this shit up, leave me alone. Discuss.
Emmm arteries , size of the pillar puncturing a lung , shock of hypothermia of the ice in the blood stream drastically lowering the bodies tempature throwing off homeostasis , fall damage, mass internal bleeding. Not saying your not wrong but an injury like that isn't easily survivable. But Phoenix down BITCHES
I was more a fan of the Squall Coma theory instead, where the opening fight FMV with Seifer didn't result in just a scar, but in a full-blown head trauma, likely from falling face-first into a hard-ass stone battlefield. From there, it's all Squall hallucinating as he recovers. While far-fetched, I realized it was a lot more possible after I had a hospital visit where they used Ketamine as an anesthetic instead of the usual stuff, and I wound up having some fucked up and lucid hallucinations or dreams or something... Then spent what felt like hours retching as I came down... But most likely it's just that Squall was healed. Like, Rinoa is right there after he gets the cold shoulder, and she's kinda set up as the healer archetype... Combined with her... later plot points, her being able to stabilize him seems likely. That and Cure spells don't seem to leave scars to begin with, else there'd be more scars on SeeDs given the nature of their work and training.
@@JPDaman1000 I feel like the only part of that which the average FF party wouldn't possibly face in an average battle is the fall damage. Just give Squall a few potions and a phoenix down if needed, he'll be fine.
@@strixt uhhh... a test tube baby born to a surrogate mother is still the biological child of whichever man provided the sperm. Nowadays they can even make babies that are the biological children of both men in a gay couple through gene splicing. However, all of that is irrelevant for the current discussion because the theory was always wrong. There is a picture that has been out for literally ages showing Pharah's dad (we just don't have his name), and it's definitely not Soldier 76. Maybe his name will be a plot point later on, maybe he'll be a hero later on, or maybe he's just not that interesting. Also, Pharah does not look like she could be Soldier's daughter: he's pretty light skinned, Ana is pretty dark-skinned. One would expect their child to have a skin tone intermediate between theirs: but Pharah has the same skin color as Ana.
He has a rare genetic deformity which the flood spore couldn't adapt to. MC kept it secret so ONI wouldn't cut him up to get a vaccine. - 1 of the Halo novels (sorry can't remember)
Virtua- SEAN Actually, it was part of the procedures he went through to become a Spartan-I. Johnson was part of the original Spartan program, called Project ORION. ONI knew about the Flood immunity it granted, but the negative side effects were considerable and mass producing the immunity and the treatment for the the side effects would be nearly impossible.
For the song bird theory, I think it makes sense because, a big thing in Bioshock Infinite, is religious themes, and if Booker was songbird, that would mean that we have three Bookers, representing the holy trinity, the father (Comstock), the Son(The Player Booker), and the Holy Spirit(Song Bird) and usually the Holy Spirit is represented by a dove A.K.A Song Bird.
Do: 7 times guns don't work that way guys. Some examples: - A sniper round kills someone with one shot, but takes 3 to break a window. - It doesn't matter what you wear, you will die with two shots from a 12 gauge. - Bullets will just disappear after a certain range. - a .44 magnum revolver does more damage than a .50AE Desert Eagle
zakeslayer ah..the torgue and tediore guns from bl2 on...the gyro rockets are plausible. The tediore reload/throw bit does creep into the weird realm of borderlands semi-canon with the whole "digistruct technology".
Glados was turned into a machine and went on to revenge by making all the staff into companion cubes. Trapped in useless cubes, the staff become helpless subjects which is why Glados also uses them in her experiments with the player. This is well illustrated when she forced the player to incinerate one of the cubes. I have wondered if there is a yet discovered way to hear the companion cubes speaking.
I always thought the Rockstar one was a genuine, accepted part of the canon, a little like all Tarantino movies being set in the same universe. I didn't even think of the times when New York and LA were mentioned. Maybe RDR and LA Noire is set in one, and GTA, Bully and Manhunt in another?
Actually all Tarantino films fall into TWO universes. A "real" universe (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, etc.) and the "movie within the movie" universe.(Kill Bill)
I think that they can be the same one, just with a simple explanation. Goes like this: sometime in the 70s, both cities were renamed. Reason? Reaction to disaster. If we can accept that the Rockstar games had a break from our known reality like Tarantino movies, then the break would also explain some things, like the hyper-violent people in the cities sporting new names. For New York, the 70s had a major blackout, the Zodiac killer running amok, and race relations at feverish tension. Way I see it, all it would have taken is one riot to get DRASTICALLY out of control (and for the Rockstar universe, that's no stretch of the imagination), and New York would have become a war zone. City goes on lockdown, but that just ratchets up the tension further, and the rioting just escalates until the city resembles a lawless state. Eventually, the violence calmed down, and City Hall pushed the name change in order to help the city lose its recently-made reputation by starting fresh. As for LA, I could see it based more of a "natural disaster" flavor. A massive earthquake or wildfire (or maybe both) decimates the city, cutting it off from outside help. Emergency services are pressed past the breaking point trying to keep things under control, and the local neighborhood street gangs, smelling blood in the water, start trying to carve out a bigger piece of territory. Once again, looting and rioting break out, and the city becomes a collection of paranoid survivor-types with nothing to lose. The people who can flee the city, leaving only the jackals to tear each other to pieces. When it finally calms down, once again, City Hall pushes for a new name. It makes sense to me, as it would also explain why, in both these cities, the cops are either mostly inept (due to their fear of dying in the line of duty for no reason) or militant, take-no-shit hardasses who will draw down on the first civilian who twitches funny at them. That's what they've grown accustomed to, and what they've come to expect. It also explains why crime, from white-collar sleaze to street-level thuggery, seem to run rampant. The criminals had time and opportunity to entrench themselves so deep that they've almost become part of the institution themselves. Remove all the criminals, and the cities would fall apart. Anyway, just a thought.
The Indoctrination Theory would have been the most mind-blowing ending of all time. Bioware should have just said that it was canon all along after the theory surfaced. They really missed out on a great opportunity.
TIT is extremely biased as it is just a way to express butthu... disagreement with the canonical ending sequence, dude. It's not mind-blowing, it's created just to be there.
@@ryanalving3785 Don't really see it more compelling. The Destruction with surviving Shep (which is pretty much of canon of the canon LOL), counting the Extended Cut, if you think of it, is pretty solid purely storywise. Sure it ALMOST doesn't consider your choices and stuff but that's more gameplaywise. I personally even like this deterministic approach: on the scale of the entire galaxy almost falling to pieces your personal choices along the way are irrelevant, it doesn't matter much what led you to that point, it's what you decide in the most crucial moment of your life what really defines your impact on the galaxy.
@@mihan2d Perhaps, I just find an almost Meta-Story where you get an inside view of the indoctrination process and have to fight it without really knowing what you're doing quite compelling. It just seems more satisfying than "all your choices leading up to this didn't matter; now red, blue, or green." It seems more fun to me they got into the players head, started manipulating you, and when you caught a bullet on the surface Indoctrination flew into overdrive; only ceasing if you make the right choice. But perhaps that's just me.
funny how overwatch officially said yeah but then retracted the statement to put in [lgbtq+ insert] into game to ponder to other audiences who needs to be represented
I mean, when it comes to the whole Bioshock deal, it's less a "death by drowning" thing so much as a "murdered by drowning" thing.... Songbird was murdered by Elizabeth, Comstock was murdered by DeWitt (Suicide!?!?), DeWitt is murdered by a group of Elizabeth's... Maybe Elizabeth was (one of) the bad guy all along?
Dustin echos reminded me of one Star Wars comic with some nerd kid named “Manny Bothans” who died getting the information of the second Death Star. In the movie they said “Many bothhans”
I'd actually buy the ME3 one. Synthesis, really? That was what indoctrinated Saren's whole deal was! Like, the whole point of the first Mass Effect was how that was an awful idea. For me, the choice is easy: Destory those MFers!
He's also J. Jonah Jameson from the Spider Man movies. And The Closer's boss. And the spokesman for Farmers Insurance. And a psychopathic music teacher in the critically acclaimed movie Whiplash ... But I'll always remember ol' JK Simmons best as Garth Pancake from the Coens's remake of The Ladykillers ;)
Squall is dead is the most over rated and nonsense theory I think I’ve ever read...it just a string of nonclemature because someone was too stupid to grasp the fair tame storyline (compared to the rest of the series) of 8.
I always thought it was just the added weight of a half-tonne Spartan increasing the terminal velocity of the escape pod that caused extra force on the marines which killed them. Also, you forgot Sgt. Johnson.....he survived the first Halo. I don't think we know how, though, "it's classified."
What about the epic theory that Doom guy is actually Link far far in the future. There's a surprising amount of evidence for (and unfortunately against) it, but boy would I love if it was true?
Yeah, the max difficulty renegade ending of ME3 had breath return to Shepard's chest lying in rubble in the ruins of London, which really fuelled the fires of the indoctrination theory. I still never understood how Anderson basically teleports ahead of you when stuff gets weird at the end...
Um, you can get that ending with Shep surviving if your have max ems. And the devs themselves said the theory was not true a few years ago. My theory is that the kid was real, but shep keeps seeing the kid in the dreams as Shep has PTSD.
The reason is that the ending was rushed. something like 4 months before ME3 came out, the full ending leaked and was seen by a few thousand people (myself included) before bioware stamped it out. While Bioware's official stance is that they only altered the ending slightly, anyone who actually saw it can tell you confidently that that's a crock of shit. From the moment Harbinger lands, EVERYTHING is changed. Everything after Harbinger lands was swiftly cobbled together at the figurative 11th hour before launching the game.
about pharah: in the christmas comics there was a slide with her having dinner with some man who has been confirmed to not be a romantic interest. People have speculated that he is her real dad and is of native canadian origin, explaining her thunderbird skin
Cool theories. As for the ME theory I always believed that. That is why the the reapers appear to you as the child in the end. Bioware wanted the player to feel like your choices never mattered because you were indoctrinated all along. They denied this but it's better than their shit ending.
In Rockstars games being in the same universe makes sense like 1. Michael likes watching old crime classics which LA Noire could be one 2. Red Dead Redemption is a book 3. Manhunt could be in the town as stated 4. Bully's Bullworth High is a school in the universe as well
Master Chiefs armor can lock for high-speed impacts. It does it at the start of Halo 3, and so he probably just did it for the pod landing too. The marines died just from a bad crash landing, when chief could have honestly made it without the pod by just jumping out of the ship at the start.
ff8 is the weirdest game I've ever played It's like square said "let's face it, no way we can make this game better than our last, so let's just make it super weird and have the fans try to figure it out what it means"
Zsolt Lőrinczy wow didn't know that. I'm so used to waiting years for a final fantasy game that I forgot they used to pump out main series titles almost every year back then
It's been confirmed that Pharah knows who her father is, so it rules out Reinhardt and Soldier being her father. It's much more likely the guy in the christmas comic she is sitting with.
For the mass effect theory the reason he's not indoctrinated is the fact that shepherd is quick to leave the presents of reaper technology and killing a reaper gets rid of the process
OXbox theory: Jane has brought in Luke and Ellen to trial them as replacements for Mike and Andy, because Mike and Andy are a few years old now and their robotic augments are starting to wear out

Get with the times ox, Bastion memes died a couple months after release, when everybody understood how weak he actually is (was. The new Bastion update is great)
He can now survive SHITTON of damage because of 'iron claud'(-35%damage taken in sentry and tang config). While nanoboosted he can't be killed even by phara or D'va's ult because it stacks and he getting -85% damage.
My personal theory about respawning in tf2: The Heaven/Hell Theory, or The Respawn Theory. It's basically what goes on while you're dead and respawning. Half the mercenaries go to heaven (The Scout, The Soldier, The Heavy and The Engineer), half go to hell (The Demoman, The Medic, The Sniper and The Spy). I'll get to pyro in a bit. The first half go to heaven because they were good, and got a choice: Stay in heaven or go back to earth. They always chose back to earth. The other half went to hell because they sinned, and in some way or other bribed the devil, whether it was giving some eyelander souls (Demo), Extra souls of baboons (medic), throwing the, er, jarate at the devils and hightailing it (sniper), or giving him a deadringered soul (spy). Then they just walk to the path back to earth. The pyro, neither God nor the devil wants. Pyro's not accepted into heaven because pyro burns people to death, but pyro's not accepted into hell because pyro believes it's helping people. Thus, God and the devil agree to put pyro in purgatory, before putting pyro back on earth and postponing his judgement. I believe this is a relatively sound theory backed by both the meetings of God and the devil In the final episode of Mann Co No More.
Not trying to disprove the Rockstar Shared Universe theory, in fact I believe it's true to an extent. However, if that L.A. Noire Garbage Can Hat is supposed to be Marston's, they got the design wrong. If you look at the previous shot in this video where John is on-screen wearing said hat, it has a clearly defined "ring" with like metal "eyelets" around it, just above the brim. The shape is a bit different as well. Now, an easy explanation for this is that Team Bondi didn't give a got darn whether J.M.'s hat was a 1:1 perfect recreation. A (probably) more likely one though, is that it's just a hat in a trash can, placed there merely to tutorialize the player on picking up and manipulating objects in their hands; a task they will become *thoroughly* acquainted with over the course of the loooong tale of Cole Phelps [SPOILERS] yelling at everyone, suffering from PTSD, working in every detective division of the LAPD, and driving like a drunken GTA 3 NPC, only to eventually "Red Dead-Redeem" himself by dying in a drainage pipe or whatever. Just my take. Could be wrong🤷🏻♂️
i really do not think Pharah's dad is in the game right now. If he was, wouldn't they have voice lines mentioning it? the 4 options are: A. her father is dead and will just be lore B. Her dad is a playable hero that has yet to be added C. he will be brought up as alive at a later point, but will remain a side story character. D. it's the man in the reflections comic that Pharah is eating dinner with, which would explain why they clearly went out of their way to hide his face. i personally think it's D
In regards to the Halo theory, it's also possible the Chief killed them in another accidental fashion. The seats are all occupied which means the pod might be near weight capacity... only there's half a ton of extra person and armor in there too that might have pushed the escape pod beyond capacity and caused the airbrake failure and following crash.
ALAS! That fanon about pharah has been shattered, when Blizard decided out of the blue [hint, when people were bitching about them not being inclusive enough...] to make Soldier 76 gay.
My theory: That Ubisoft is run by the real assassin order so people look favorably towards the assassins and frown upon the templars who are the actual good guys. Yes this is more of a real life conspiracy theory and no I haven't looked into whether other people have speculated about this but I still think its a fun theory
Squall could potentially survive his injuries. The ice shard impaled him in the upper right side of the body. There is only one major organ in that location, that being a lung. If the shard missed his lung, any bystander could have gotten him to a hospital. Even if the shard did pierce the lung, if there was a medical professional on the scene, he may have been saved. Now, admittedly, there is a lot of evidence to say that he is very much dead, and I'm not a medical professional in any way shape or form, but I'm just adding my two cents.
That's the thing though. It's Final Fantasy. They can survive meteors falling on them yet alone a few ice shards. I don't think that would have killed him.
I like that last one about Indoctrination. It does track and tying that child to the ultimate goal of the Reapers by associating Shepard's guilt with a chance to "make things right", which could easily be used to serve the Reapers' own ends by letting Shepard choose an outcome that he thinks is his own but only works towards their triumph, does make narrative sense.
I've had a long-standing fan theory that Far Cry: Primal is secretly a prequel to the Assassin's Creed series. There have already been hints toward Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, and Watch Dogs being set in the same universe so this one is totally plausible. Adding to that is the fact that Far Cry: Primal also uses a lot of the same mechanics as Assassin's Creed. Basically, one of the main antagonists in the game is a tribe called the Izila which is depicted as a cruel society that values domination and control over others, and the need to force other tribes to submit to their authority. Sound familiar? My theory is that the Izila are secretly precursors to the Cult of Kosmos and Order of the Ancients, which themselves are precursors to the Templar Order. I've also speculated that Urki accidentally invented the "leap of faith" maneuver that is popular among Assassins when he tried to fly like a bird.
I like the Portal theories where Caroline (and by extension GLaDOS) is Chell's mother and Cave Johnson might be Chell's dad, and what might make it more interesting is the fan theory that Caroline was a Black Mesa plant in Aperture who sabotaged all of Cave Johnson's projects and even engineered his death. Things like Caroline quickly changing the subject whenever Cave mentions Black Mesa point to that, and at one point the Black Mesa logo appears on one of the monitors in Portal (I think). There's also the theory that Caroline's personality within GLaDOS is the real enemy trying to kill Chell. At the end of Portal 2 when Caroline is deleted, GLaDOS stops trying to kill Chell and promptly lets her go.
I never noticed the whole "Booker, Comstock and Songbird all die by drowning" thing, would definitely fit with the Variables and Constants theories.
sure, but also: drowning itself is a statement in itself. water has a varity of meainings in bioshock. bioshock1 and 2 take place under water completely, with many sections of flooding. the crash in the first game leads to all people probably dieying drowning. in bioshock 3 water has religious meaning, as you have the baptism scenes, you have to boat sections (which are a bit like a styx ride), etc. Id say, that if anything, the big constant is, that water is both giving and taking life. water flows and you flow to, with a life that starts somewhere and ends somewhere in the stream of time.
In Bully, a movie called "The Sequel" can be seen playing in the theater. In GTAV, you can find posters all over the city for "The Sequel 2".
So there making a sequel to the sequel awesome

I liked the idea that Reinhardt was Pharah's dad. If you look at the uncommon skin names, Ana's are all precious stones, Reinhardts' are all hard metals, and Pharah's are two of each
I really like the idea of a Halo character named Dustin Echoes, fighting parallel battles to MC across the universe trying to reach the Chief to avenge his fellow Marines.
I think Sargent Johnson is Dustin Echoes, like it's a codename.
For the Halo Theory, it's more likely that Chief didn't want to unbalance the pod with his half ton armor. standing in the center would have distributed the weight
ULTRAMANZX And his Spartan strength allowed him to hold on easily. Or his armor might've locked up (like it did when he fell from space at the beginning of Halo 3) Either way, him bracing himself instead of sitting down and putting on a seatbelt is actually the smartest move he could've possibly done.
I mean, coming in at the speed and velocity, not to mention the trajectory, that's shown....truthfully I don't know why the damn thing didn't blow and vaporize most of everything like it would in say an airplane crash of the same variables. Even if his half ton armor was pinging around, (which from where he was standing, technically he should have gone flying backwards and smashed into the pilot only, OR went flying forwards into the door and smashed through (depending on how the shuttle hit)) which is highly unlikely, the impact would have caused such internal damage to the occupants that ALL of them should be dead, including Master Chief.
(Also, huge swatch of water right there that they could have landed in and softened impact, allowing more people to survive...yet Cortana lands on ground. WTF??)
13thMaiden A few points to remember are: 1. The game takes place in 2552, their technology is clearly not the same as ours. You can't base half of your assumptions off of our technology. 2. Chief would not have been tossed around like a rag doll... as long as the hand rails he was holding onto could support the combined weight of the MJOLNIR armor and force of the impact. 3. Cortana could not have landed in the water because she wasn't driving lol.
None of you know any of this shit. Shut up and have fun. XD
In the books chief couldn’t sit because his armor didn’t fit in the seat............
But that's just a theory.... A GAME THEORY!!!!

Welcome to THE SUPER AMAZING END CARD TOURNAMENT... XD
Fun Fact: In a patch for Bioshock 1 released at the same time as Bioshock Infinite you can actually hear Songbird's death cry when you first enter Fort Frolic implying that the Rapture you teleport to briefly in infinite is the same Rapture from Bioshock 1.
Brandon Welsh God I hope so, it would add some much needed continuity.
Brandon Welsh link?
Brandon Welsh, you can hear Songbird in Bioshock 2 also. Which either means that A: It is a sound effect that they used for Songbird that happened to be in the first two games. Or, if you like to enjoy life, that B: An alternate universe Booker and Elizabeth enter Rapture in Bioshock 2 around the time of the games events, meaning Bioshock 2 occurs in a different universe than the first game. Which explains why 1: Andrew Ryan feels like a different person than the Ryan in the first game. And 2: Why Sophia Lamb, along with several other things, seem to simply not exist in Bioshock. They never existed in that version of Rapture to begin with, which is why you never hear anything about Lamb. Those Raptures share a common timeline, like the timelines that you jump between in Colombia during Infinite, but similarly, the Raptures in the first and second games are different Raptures. That's always been my theory about Bioshock 2, since it never felt like it belonged with either Bioshock or Bioshock Infinite.
Not when you enter Fort Frolic, but when Sander Cohen is making Fitzpatrick play the dynamite-filled piano before he gets blown to smithereens
OD Smith thanks the specifics of that were a bit fuzzy
I have searched far and wide for that 2 second clip of Jane quietly and heartbrokenly saying "my project!"
It's actually an inside joke with my sister now
I always felt that Chel and GLADOS had more of a sisters vibe honestly. The constant adoption jokes, making fun of her but stopping others from doing the same, homicide attempts.......more sibling feel than parental imho.
I mean you could argue that since GLADOS was a copy of Caroline's mind, and not actually Caroline herself, GLADOS could be considered Caroline's daughter as well. Sort of like how Cortana was made from a snapshot of Dr Halsey's brain, but isn't Dr Halsey.

Regarding Squall...
1: He was impaled on his right side, towards the edge, which would definitely puncture a lung and break a bunch of ribs, but would likely leave his heart intact, which is a good thing. Not necessarily deadly, but the worst thing at that point(aside from the fluid in the lung) would be the shock involved.
2: This universe has cure spells and magical resurrect-people-from-being-dead spells. So yeah. While it WOULD make more sense for the rest of the game to... you know.... not exist(Because let's face it, it goes from being an inter-governmental intrigue plot to being about flying buildings and wibbly wobbly sorcery REAL quick), if we were to use that as a plot device, it would make more sense for the rest of the game to be a bit more of a weird fever dream. Squall is, after all, Alive, but perhaps dreaming the whole mess, or worse, awake and alive, and severely misinterpreting how the world works. Perhaps to the point where he goes and visits his dad and his imagination gets WAY away from him when his dad recounts his life story to him or something.
TacComControl I actually always liked the way the story started kinda grounded (but still all magicky and sci-fi) on the first disc, then introduced more magic and weirdness in disc 2, and by the end of disc 3 we've got secret empires, monsters from the moon, time traveling witches possessing each other, and, of course, time compression. It feels like the world was full of this stuff from the beginning, you just hadn't been exposed to it yet.
Also, the Squall is living out his "final fantasies" thing makes very little sense, as almost nothing that happens after disc one (and including disc one, tbh) is anything we are given a hint that Squall wants. Except maybe Rinoa. The only real "want" we are given is that he wants to know his family or whatever from that flashback, and even though he does eventually meet his dad, it's never outright stated that they are actually related, nor is their a heartfelt reunion or anything. They just meet and work together to stop the sorceress.
The whole thing is a square peg with the corners rounded from being smashed so hard into a round hole. But good job, supporters-of-this-theory, you made another weak "protagonist is dead" theory. We're all so proud.
@@xdecatron2985 Also doesn't help that if memory recalls the writer debunked the theory flat out saying that wasn't anywhere near what was going on. He did find the theory fascinating though.
Jane don't lie, it clearly says on the bottom 'by Jane'

Andy about your Bioshock theory
everybody knows Elizabeth is made from ten dogs in a dress
how could you make that mistake?
Pffft. Ten dogs indeed. In fact it's nine dogs, two cats and chimpanzee. I thought everyone knew that.
Varin Thaneseeker 4 dogs 2 cats 1 ape 2 dolphins and the remains of harambe
Guys, everyone in this thread is correct. It just depends on what angle you're veiwing her from really.... For instance from the Doctors perspective she's a blue police box in a dress. From mine she's Omnitraxis in a dress.... I imagine from Dippers perspective she's a giant floating Baby....
Considering all of the time travel nonsense, anything is possible.
Plasma Octopus no sir, not time travel, but alternate realities and time-frames! there are a infinite amount of realities thay exist, example, you might not have been born in one, but in another, you might have created the universe in whitch you would create an exact replica realm of halo.
My theory is that Mike is actually the scientist trying to conquer the world, and Jane is actually the android.
What does that make Andy? Maybe Andy is a hallucination of Jane brought on by a bug her code intentionally put there by Luke and Ellen, with the intent to push Jane into betraying Mike. This would make sense as we all know that Luke and Ellen are really government agents.

I want Dustin Echoes to be a thing.
Proffesional idiot There's a rather old fanfiction called "The Secret Story of Dustin Echoes" by author and Lego MOC builder Saber-Scorpion which can be found on his website. I believe there's also a marine named Dustin Echoes in Halo 5 as an Easter egg.
Me too
He could form a crossover super team with Marauder Shields (who has his own comic now)
Lul! I get it cuz it's a play on words! Hahahahahaha lulz! Gagagagaga
Or it could be 2 seperate people, Dust & Echoes.
The Mass Effect one makes a lot of sense. I thought it was weird how even before that kid died and became a guilt ghost he acted pretty ominous, hiding in a vent, interacting with no one and saying "you can't help me" like he was PLANNING to die tragically. He was shifty from the start.
Not to mention that shepard spend a ton of time around an active reaper indoctrination weapon in the arrival dlc, that the description of oily shadows fit to his dreams, that nothing after harbingers blast makes any sense, harbinger wouldn't just fly off, anderson wouldn't be able to go into the stream before you, the crucible itself taking parts from other ships, anderson getting shot, yet somehow shepard has the wound and so on.
I really wonder what was going on, maybe bioware had a bigger ending in place and EA was all like "no we need sequelfooder". This could have gone down as one of the best metagames ever in gaming history, they set the stage, willing or unwillingly, then they had this shitstorm on their hands and a fan theory allready fitting all loose ends together and all they would have needed to do is say "congratulations guys you figured it out, it was all a test", giving them time to cobble together a better ending and some endbossfight with harbinger and a more satisfying end, but nope..we will show the mass relays exploding, even if that means that they should whipe out everything that is in the starcluster and either strand or kill everyone in the sol starsystem, which, depending on your gatherings, is basicly everyone anyway.
@@Nikagor it was debunked by the devs themselves a while ago
Plus Anderson ,who was worth Shepard in the beginning, didn't hear or see the boy at all
With* not worth
@1005rhys If I recall, it was debunked by Casey "I am going to lock myself in a room and write the ending my damn self" Hudson who doesn't seem like the type of person to accept a fan theory. Drew Karpyshyn is who you should be asking who was the head writer for 1 and 2, and he admits that is an ending they thought of and did begin to drop hints for.
Fan theory: Mike and Jane are actually siblings, and Andy is an android (because obviously), created by their father to protect them. Who is their father, you ask? Simple... Luke. Luke is actually from the distant past, but because he had to travel into the future to be here, he had to create the robot to protect his children when he could not.
Ellen is, of course, a red herring.
poor Ellen
mabye so but how do you know she didn't cheat oooh plot twist
Cai Holroyd Why does everyone pick on Ellen?
wouldn't Luke be from the future originally? you know with the whole robot building thing, also Ellen could be the mother
Cai Holroyd nah, Ellen is their pet cat
The Mass Effect 3 indoctrination theory was the first thing that popped into my head when I played the game.
i spent the bulk of 3 games with one goal in mind: destroy the reapers.
Now that I'm mere seconds away from accomplishing that task, suddenly the Reapers have a happy ending for me?
Hell no, I'm not trusting a hasty happy ending with Bioware, the same developer who made mind-controlling desire demons in the Dragon Age series.
Professor Utonium The only thing that made me want to choose a different ending was the fact that destroying the reapers essentially killed off EDI, the Geth (which my Shepard made peace with them and the Quarians), and all other Synthetic life. It just sort of felt off to me. Saving the Geth race only to kill them off later after they helped you. Not only that, but they're helping the Quarians get the technology to eventually live without their suits. And killing them off just sort of crushes that reality. And with EDI, I just feel too bad for Joker. All the endings suck in their own way lol
I killed them all and EDI survived cause Joker did his thing. (guy is so stubborn he even stops others from dying) They landed on the planet and EDI walked out with him. Was happy to see she made it.
Well, if you listen to the Catalyst (Hologram Kid). it explains that. 'My Solution won't work anymore'. It gives you the options, since, if you don't do anything, the next cycle will get there anyway. Since Liara sent out the black boxes. So, it decides to allows Shepard to choose the future of the universe. And there isn't really any 'Happy Ending'. You can destroy the Reapers, along with All other synthetic Life, and yourself. You can add your energy to the catalyst, and transform all organic life, and die. Or take control of the reapers, and 'die'. But, the AI kid believes that. if you destroy them, eventually someone will create another version of him, and it will all just begin again. And if you control them, then eventually you will come to the same conclusion it did. And, it also believes the Synthesis is inevitable, so, in reality, it doesn't care what you choose, since it believes that eventually Synthesis will happen. The Indoctrination Theory has been debunked as well.
Indoctrination theory isn't possible. In the Mass Effect Novels (Specifically Retribution), we follow a man named Grayson Hunt as Cerberus runs experiments on Reaper technology on him. He escapes, and is indoctrinated. We see the entire process of indoctrination through his eyes, showing that he is fully aware of what is happening, he knows he is indoctrinated and is powerless to stop it as the Reapers slowly take over his mind.
Makes the whole thing all the more horrifying when you stop and realize that every inoctrinated person or creature you killed knew what they were doing and couldn't stop it.
Vpirate How can all the Indoctrinated know about it when you literally have to convince Saren he's indoctrinated as Shepard in ME1?
My favorita fan theory is that in Dragon Age Inquisition, when you're picking whether to either leave Hawke or the warden (be it Alistair, Stroud, or Loghain) in the fade, that it should be Hawke that stays BECAUSE in DA2 Flemeth says to Hawke, " We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment… and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you fly." Meaning that the fade is the abyss and he needs to "jump." Which also leads me to believe that Hawke will be ok. Also, the quest this takes place during is literally called "Here lies the Abyss."
Oh shit I never put those two together, that makes me feel better for saving alistair

@Real Human Bean Doesn't make sense, the comment
Oh my God guys! You have ruined Halo forever for me... Dustin Echoes?! God damn! I laughed so hard at that. After all these years of playing that game over and over and over again, I never once thought of it like that.
R'mur yea but in the halo novel first strike we learn that there were actually 4 living humans who escaped halo with the Chief and one clinically dead spartan (Linda-058) who was in cryogenic suspension floating in space around the ring while the events of the game occurred.
Linda was latter revived and brought back to life by Dr Halsey which is why she is in halo 5. But to truely to get the whole picture, read the novels and graphic novels. Dam good stories that connect the dots of all the games and provide so much enjoyable CANONICAL lore on the Halo series as a whole
accept for early books retcon because bungie ignored some parts of the book which 343i has try and has done a decent job to fix but some of it just cant be without time jumping or something. which would make Halo stupid.
Or maybe a reentry hard landing would kill a scrub without a mjolnir suit?
Nope, Dustin Echos is canon now.
Personal fan theory of mine is that Chell became deaf during testing some time before the first portal game. Since she never meets anyone with a mouth, she never realizes she is being spoken to. The _player_ hears what is going on, but it is all lost on Chell. As a result, she has not idea what is going on most of the time.
Try playing through the portal games with this in mind, it gets so much funnier!
That is actually how I played the first portal game originally. I accidentally turned off audio and subtitles.
lol, whoops.
another major theory ie that chell is GLaDOS,s original body after he consciousness was rip out to turn her into an AI that's why chell doesn't know anything
That sounds funny but she also replies (sort of, more shows recognition of what he says) to wheatley at the beginning of portal 2, jumping instead of saying apple
Except we see portraits of caroline and cave, Chell RESEMBLES caroline, but they CERTAINLY arent the same person
I feel like it makes more sense that master chief's half ton armor + the weight of all the marines exceeded the safe carrying weight of the escape pod and caused it to crash harder than it usually would and killed everyone but the heavily armored master chief who got up and walked it off, In the past masterchief has has successfully free fallen from space only being unconscious when he hit the surface, the same is inferred at the start of the mission, that masterchief was unconscious from that impact as well.
5:20 I mean seeing as according to this theory Chell is a reminder of the fact that Cave Johnson took *everything* from her, I could see her deciding to take out her feelings about cave on her daughter after a couple of years to stew on it.

I think the Rein theory is slightly more popular than 76 being Phara's father.
Panda I also think so.
Sorry to rain on your parade, the lead writer Michael Chu has confirmed it isn't Reinhardt.
+GazzerS That has never stopped fan theories before. They also unconfirmed the 76/Ana theory but it's still a popular theory
Kahnane I suppose that's also true. Doesn't stop it being "fanon" as opposed to canon.
GazzerS Oh then I am sorry.
What if 76 is everyone's father? (Gasp!) Maybe that's why we're all soldiers now!
What if Pharah doesn't actually shoot rockets, but fishy sticks?
Mind Blown.

Brain mapping erased much of GlaDOS' memories/emotions while boosting her thought processes/scientific knowledge. She didn't remember being Caroline until she heard her voice and pieced it together She may not remember Chell is her daughter at all. In the perpetual testing initiative one of the universes they visit had cave Johnson in the AI core and he was driven insane by the process of amassing so much knowledge so quickly, and was going to kill everyone just like GlaDOS did.
There is a lot of research into the Mass Effect 3 theory on TH-cam and you'll find that the theory doesn't pan out throughout the whole game series. However, during an interview, the creators admitted they toyed with the idea of Shepard being indoctrinated and I think some of that got left in the game.

...Ana doesn't sound flirty with Soldier 76 at all. Now with Reinhardt, shes definitly flirting.
And mind you, despite the fact that I think Reinhardt is infinitly more likely to be Pharah's dad, I still don't think thats true since Pharah know who her father is. Its a mistery to us but not to her. So if her father was anyone in Overwatch, don't you think she'd have some interaction with him? And beside, Ana raised Pharah alone, neither Soldier 76 or Reinhardt strike me as guys who would never be around when their kid grow up.
I think her dad is dead, simple as that.
Good points. Also possible is that her dad hasn't joined the game yet. He might be a future hero, or if it was Morrison or Reyes, they are basically new people now. Soldier and Reaper are not referred to by their own names by anyone except Mercy (as far as I recall) So if it is actually Soldier, her dad was (Morrison) and Morrison is considered KIA.
Hate to burst the bubble but we've already seen Pharah's father in the "controversial" Tracer comic.
And where did it say that person was her father? Nowhere.
Who else could it be? The overwatch crew have stated that it's not a boyfriend, as well as the fact they are in Canada, of which her Thunderbird skin indicates she most likely has Canadian native heritage.
Aleksandra Zaryanova I think that man is her father as well, but all the evidence you mentioned is circumstantial and is not proof that this is cannon. He may just be a friend from work.
Chell being GLaDOS' daughter is canon, isn't it? thats why she sings to Chell when shes leaving, isn't it? very sad, if you read the lyrics

It could just be GLaDOS remarking on how Chell has been shaped by what she experienced at GLaDOS' metaphorical hands (which, given how much of a egocentric megalomaniac GLaDOS is, wouldn't be surprising), and not necessarily insinuating a familial relationship. As such, it isn't canon.

Indoctrination Theory is legitness. My favorite fan theory of all-time (and personal head canon).

Theory: The mushroom kingdom is actually purgatory, and Mario & Luigi died while working on some very shoddy plumbing, as seen in the first episode of the super Mario Brothers Super Show. Bowser represents Satan (horns, fire) and Peach is the Virgin Mary (which is why she makes cake for Mario instead of having sex with him). Also, Toad is Jesus or something, I don't know, Peach pulls him out of nowhere in Super Smash Bros, that has to mean something, look, I just made this shit up, leave me alone.

Ok... what's undodog?
The Squall is dead theory got debunked a long time ago. Also, he was stabbed through the shoulder which is totally survivable.
Can you give more info? I totally tought it was true tbh
Emmm arteries , size of the pillar puncturing a lung , shock of hypothermia of the ice in the blood stream drastically lowering the bodies tempature throwing off homeostasis , fall damage, mass internal bleeding. Not saying your not wrong but an injury like that isn't easily survivable. But Phoenix down BITCHES
I was more a fan of the Squall Coma theory instead, where the opening fight FMV with Seifer didn't result in just a scar, but in a full-blown head trauma, likely from falling face-first into a hard-ass stone battlefield. From there, it's all Squall hallucinating as he recovers. While far-fetched, I realized it was a lot more possible after I had a hospital visit where they used Ketamine as an anesthetic instead of the usual stuff, and I wound up having some fucked up and lucid hallucinations or dreams or something... Then spent what felt like hours retching as I came down...
But most likely it's just that Squall was healed. Like, Rinoa is right there after he gets the cold shoulder, and she's kinda set up as the healer archetype... Combined with her... later plot points, her being able to stabilize him seems likely. That and Cure spells don't seem to leave scars to begin with, else there'd be more scars on SeeDs given the nature of their work and training.
@@JPDaman1000
I feel like the only part of that which the average FF party wouldn't possibly face in an average battle is the fall damage. Just give Squall a few potions and a phoenix down if needed, he'll be fine.

Nowadays they can even make babies that are the biological children of both men in a gay couple through gene splicing. However, all of that is irrelevant for the current discussion because the theory was always wrong. There is a picture that has been out for literally ages showing Pharah's dad (we just don't have his name), and it's definitely not Soldier 76. Maybe his name will be a plot point later on, maybe he'll be a hero later on, or maybe he's just not that interesting. Also, Pharah does not look like she could be Soldier's daughter: he's pretty light skinned, Ana is pretty dark-skinned. One would expect their child to have a skin tone intermediate between theirs: but Pharah has the same skin color as Ana.
Sgt Johnson also survived the events of Halo
and to this day we have no idea how he managed to do that
Exile Studios he's immortal unless he's touched by a guilty spark
hey think about this Johnson's death was a warning for what 343 would eventual do to the halo series...kill it
He has a rare genetic deformity which the flood spore couldn't adapt to. MC kept it secret so ONI wouldn't cut him up to get a vaccine.
- 1 of the Halo novels (sorry can't remember)
Virtua- SEAN Actually, it was part of the procedures he went through to become a Spartan-I. Johnson was part of the original Spartan program, called Project ORION. ONI knew about the Flood immunity it granted, but the negative side effects were considerable and mass producing the immunity and the treatment for the the side effects would be nearly impossible.
For the song bird theory, I think it makes sense because, a big thing in Bioshock Infinite, is religious themes, and if Booker was songbird, that would mean that we have three Bookers, representing the holy trinity, the father (Comstock), the Son(The Player Booker), and the Holy Spirit(Song Bird) and usually the Holy Spirit is represented by a dove A.K.A Song Bird.
Do: 7 times guns don't work that way guys.
Some examples:
- A sniper round kills someone with one shot, but takes 3 to break a window.
- It doesn't matter what you wear, you will die with two shots from a 12 gauge.
- Bullets will just disappear after a certain range.
- a .44 magnum revolver does more damage than a .50AE Desert Eagle

Glados was turned into a machine and went on to revenge by making all the staff into companion cubes. Trapped in useless cubes, the staff become helpless subjects which is why Glados also uses them in her experiments with the player. This is well illustrated when she forced the player to incinerate one of the cubes.
I have wondered if there is a yet discovered way to hear the companion cubes speaking.

I always thought the Rockstar one was a genuine, accepted part of the canon, a little like all Tarantino movies being set in the same universe. I didn't even think of the times when New York and LA were mentioned. Maybe RDR and LA Noire is set in one, and GTA, Bully and Manhunt in another?
Actually all Tarantino films fall into TWO universes. A "real" universe (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, etc.) and the "movie within the movie" universe.(Kill Bill)
I think that they can be the same one, just with a simple explanation. Goes like this: sometime in the 70s, both cities were renamed. Reason? Reaction to disaster. If we can accept that the Rockstar games had a break from our known reality like Tarantino movies, then the break would also explain some things, like the hyper-violent people in the cities sporting new names.
For New York, the 70s had a major blackout, the Zodiac killer running amok, and race relations at feverish tension. Way I see it, all it would have taken is one riot to get DRASTICALLY out of control (and for the Rockstar universe, that's no stretch of the imagination), and New York would have become a war zone. City goes on lockdown, but that just ratchets up the tension further, and the rioting just escalates until the city resembles a lawless state. Eventually, the violence calmed down, and City Hall pushed the name change in order to help the city lose its recently-made reputation by starting fresh.
As for LA, I could see it based more of a "natural disaster" flavor. A massive earthquake or wildfire (or maybe both) decimates the city, cutting it off from outside help. Emergency services are pressed past the breaking point trying to keep things under control, and the local neighborhood street gangs, smelling blood in the water, start trying to carve out a bigger piece of territory. Once again, looting and rioting break out, and the city becomes a collection of paranoid survivor-types with nothing to lose. The people who can flee the city, leaving only the jackals to tear each other to pieces. When it finally calms down, once again, City Hall pushes for a new name.
It makes sense to me, as it would also explain why, in both these cities, the cops are either mostly inept (due to their fear of dying in the line of duty for no reason) or militant, take-no-shit hardasses who will draw down on the first civilian who twitches funny at them. That's what they've grown accustomed to, and what they've come to expect. It also explains why crime, from white-collar sleaze to street-level thuggery, seem to run rampant. The criminals had time and opportunity to entrench themselves so deep that they've almost become part of the institution themselves. Remove all the criminals, and the cities would fall apart.
Anyway, just a thought.
Mass effect 3, indoctrination theory. That theory is my mind Canon for the series.
It's headcanon
I decided to actually try bacon bits in a milkshake.
I threw up.
Thanks Obama.
He isn't called Ovommit for nothing.
The Indoctrination Theory would have been the most mind-blowing ending of all time. Bioware should have just said that it was canon all along after the theory surfaced. They really missed out on a great opportunity.
TIT is extremely biased as it is just a way to express butthu... disagreement with the canonical ending sequence, dude. It's not mind-blowing, it's created just to be there.
@@mihan2d
As it goes, It's more compelling than the canonical ending
@@ryanalving3785 Don't really see it more compelling. The Destruction with surviving Shep (which is pretty much of canon of the canon LOL), counting the Extended Cut, if you think of it, is pretty solid purely storywise. Sure it ALMOST doesn't consider your choices and stuff but that's more gameplaywise.
I personally even like this deterministic approach: on the scale of the entire galaxy almost falling to pieces your personal choices along the way are irrelevant, it doesn't matter much what led you to that point, it's what you decide in the most crucial moment of your life what really defines your impact on the galaxy.
@@mihan2d
Perhaps, I just find an almost Meta-Story where you get an inside view of the indoctrination process and have to fight it without really knowing what you're doing quite compelling. It just seems more satisfying than "all your choices leading up to this didn't matter; now red, blue, or green."
It seems more fun to me they got into the players head, started manipulating you, and when you caught a bullet on the surface Indoctrination flew into overdrive; only ceasing if you make the right choice.
But perhaps that's just me.

Squall is dead is the most over rated and nonsense theory I think I’ve ever read...it just a string of nonclemature because someone was too stupid to grasp the fair tame storyline (compared to the rest of the series) of 8.
I always thought it was just the added weight of a half-tonne Spartan increasing the terminal velocity of the escape pod that caused extra force on the marines which killed them. Also, you forgot Sgt. Johnson.....he survived the first Halo. I don't think we know how, though, "it's classified."
What about the epic theory that Doom guy is actually Link far far in the future. There's a surprising amount of evidence for (and unfortunately against) it, but boy would I love if it was true?
Yeah, the max difficulty renegade ending of ME3 had breath return to Shepard's chest lying in rubble in the ruins of London, which really fuelled the fires of the indoctrination theory. I still never understood how Anderson basically teleports ahead of you when stuff gets weird at the end...
Um, you can get that ending with Shep surviving if your have max ems. And the devs themselves said the theory was not true a few years ago. My theory is that the kid was real, but shep keeps seeing the kid in the dreams as Shep has PTSD.
The reason is that the ending was rushed. something like 4 months before ME3 came out, the full ending leaked and was seen by a few thousand people (myself included) before bioware stamped it out.
While Bioware's official stance is that they only altered the ending slightly, anyone who actually saw it can tell you confidently that that's a crock of shit. From the moment Harbinger lands, EVERYTHING is changed. Everything after Harbinger lands was swiftly cobbled together at the figurative 11th hour before launching the game.

hi outside xbox just telling you that your videos are amazing and enjoyable,so keep up the good work
Cool theories. As for the ME theory I always believed that. That is why the the reapers appear to you as the child in the end. Bioware wanted the player to feel like your choices never mattered because you were indoctrinated all along. They denied this but it's better than their shit ending.
In Rockstars games being in the same universe makes sense like
1. Michael likes watching old crime classics which LA Noire could be one
2. Red Dead Redemption is a book
3. Manhunt could be in the town as stated
4. Bully's Bullworth High is a school in the universe as well
this makes most sense to me
Master Chiefs armor can lock for high-speed impacts. It does it at the start of Halo 3, and so he probably just did it for the pod landing too. The marines died just from a bad crash landing, when chief could have honestly made it without the pod by just jumping out of the ship at the start.
I can't be alone on this, but it really pleases me hearing Jane talk...

Watching this in 2019 and boy that Overwatch theory did not age well.
My personal theory about respawning in tf2: The Heaven/Hell Theory, or The Respawn Theory. It's basically what goes on while you're dead and respawning. Half the mercenaries go to heaven (The Scout, The Soldier, The Heavy and The Engineer), half go to hell (The Demoman, The Medic, The Sniper and The Spy). I'll get to pyro in a bit. The first half go to heaven because they were good, and got a choice: Stay in heaven or go back to earth. They always chose back to earth. The other half went to hell because they sinned, and in some way or other bribed the devil, whether it was giving some eyelander souls (Demo), Extra souls of baboons (medic), throwing the, er, jarate at the devils and hightailing it (sniper), or giving him a deadringered soul (spy). Then they just walk to the path back to earth. The pyro, neither God nor the devil wants. Pyro's not accepted into heaven because pyro burns people to death, but pyro's not accepted into hell because pyro believes it's helping people. Thus, God and the devil agree to put pyro in purgatory, before putting pyro back on earth and postponing his judgement. I believe this is a relatively sound theory backed by both the meetings of God and the devil In the final episode of Mann Co No More.
Not trying to disprove the Rockstar Shared Universe theory, in fact I believe it's true to an extent. However, if that L.A. Noire Garbage Can Hat is supposed to be Marston's, they got the design wrong. If you look at the previous shot in this video where John is on-screen wearing said hat, it has a clearly defined "ring" with like metal "eyelets" around it, just above the brim. The shape is a bit different as well. Now, an easy explanation for this is that Team Bondi didn't give a got darn whether J.M.'s hat was a 1:1 perfect recreation. A (probably) more likely one though, is that it's just a hat in a trash can, placed there merely to tutorialize the player on picking up and manipulating objects in their hands; a task they will become *thoroughly* acquainted with over the course of the loooong tale of Cole Phelps [SPOILERS] yelling at everyone, suffering from PTSD, working in every detective division of the LAPD, and driving like a drunken GTA 3 NPC, only to eventually "Red Dead-Redeem" himself by dying in a drainage pipe or whatever. Just my take. Could be wrong🤷🏻♂️
i really do not think Pharah's dad is in the game right now. If he was, wouldn't they have voice lines mentioning it? the 4 options are:
A. her father is dead and will just be lore
B. Her dad is a playable hero that has yet to be added
C. he will be brought up as alive at a later point, but will remain a side story character.
D. it's the man in the reflections comic that Pharah is eating dinner with, which would explain why they clearly went out of their way to hide his face.
i personally think it's D

What about MGS3 being a training mission for Old Snake in MGS4 so he can finally take down Ocelot, like Big Boss did in the Virtuous mission.
What if 76 is the last surviving employee of VaultTech???
In regards to the Halo theory, it's also possible the Chief killed them in another accidental fashion. The seats are all occupied which means the pod might be near weight capacity... only there's half a ton of extra person and armor in there too that might have pushed the escape pod beyond capacity and caused the airbrake failure and following crash.
ALAS! That fanon about pharah has been shattered, when Blizard decided out of the blue [hint, when people were bitching about them not being inclusive enough...] to make Soldier 76 gay.
My theory: That Ubisoft is run by the real assassin order so people look favorably towards the assassins and frown upon the templars who are the actual good guys. Yes this is more of a real life conspiracy theory and no I haven't looked into whether other people have speculated about this but I still think its a fun theory
Callum Robinson what if... The assassins order and Templars are actually allying against worst organization?
What about Assassin's creed Rogue then?
Squall could potentially survive his injuries. The ice shard impaled him in the upper right side of the body. There is only one major organ in that location, that being a lung. If the shard missed his lung, any bystander could have gotten him to a hospital. Even if the shard did pierce the lung, if there was a medical professional on the scene, he may have been saved. Now, admittedly, there is a lot of evidence to say that he is very much dead, and I'm not a medical professional in any way shape or form, but I'm just adding my two cents.
That's the thing though. It's Final Fantasy. They can survive meteors falling on them yet alone a few ice shards. I don't think that would have killed him.
I thought the rockstar shared universe thing was a known fact
I like that last one about Indoctrination. It does track and tying that child to the ultimate goal of the Reapers by associating Shepard's guilt with a chance to "make things right", which could easily be used to serve the Reapers' own ends by letting Shepard choose an outcome that he thinks is his own but only works towards their triumph, does make narrative sense.
I've had a long-standing fan theory that Far Cry: Primal is secretly a prequel to the Assassin's Creed series. There have already been hints toward Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, and Watch Dogs being set in the same universe so this one is totally plausible. Adding to that is the fact that Far Cry: Primal also uses a lot of the same mechanics as Assassin's Creed.
Basically, one of the main antagonists in the game is a tribe called the Izila which is depicted as a cruel society that values domination and control over others, and the need to force other tribes to submit to their authority. Sound familiar? My theory is that the Izila are secretly precursors to the Cult of Kosmos and Order of the Ancients, which themselves are precursors to the Templar Order.
I've also speculated that Urki accidentally invented the "leap of faith" maneuver that is popular among Assassins when he tried to fly like a bird.

I like the Portal theories where Caroline (and by extension GLaDOS) is Chell's mother and Cave Johnson might be Chell's dad, and what might make it more interesting is the fan theory that Caroline was a Black Mesa plant in Aperture who sabotaged all of Cave Johnson's projects and even engineered his death. Things like Caroline quickly changing the subject whenever Cave mentions Black Mesa point to that, and at one point the Black Mesa logo appears on one of the monitors in Portal (I think).
There's also the theory that Caroline's personality within GLaDOS is the real enemy trying to kill Chell. At the end of Portal 2 when Caroline is deleted, GLaDOS stops trying to kill Chell and promptly lets her go.
