Yes, but that wasn't Harry's life. Dumbledore could have existed, even if the majority of the rest wasn't real. Dreams aren't all made up. They have elements of real life. Dumbledore could have been a name of the past.
So, he needs to get his facts right... and saying they are interesting means that whilst she didn't accept them as cannon, it wasn't entirely impossible.
The entire first chapter of Sorcerer's (well, more like second and third) are best arguments for the section being a dream. What is your argument? "Because you cannot have dream in the dream" or other stupid thing like that?
@MrajkaSrajka Oh wow, a challenge. Let me get a few sources real quick. Not going to be from the first chapter but you'll see. Book One, Chapter Five, page 61, Lines 3-5 and lines 12-15+page 62 lines 1 and half of 2 Lines 3-5 ""It was a dream" he told himself firmly." I dreamed a giant called Hagrid came to tell me I was going to a school for wizards. When I open my eyes I'll be at home in my cupboard."" Lines 12-15 and page 62 lines 1 and half of 2 "He sat up and Hagrid's heavy coat fell off him. The hut was full of sunlight, the storm was over, Hagrid himself was asleep on the collapsed sofa, and there was an owl rapping its claw on the window, a newspaper held in its beak. Harry scrambled to his feet, so happy he felt as though a large balloon was swelling inside him." Harry is happy that it wasn't a dream when he opened his eyes. If you don't find that to be enough evidence, here. Chapter Seventeen, Page 294, Line Nineteen, Word Five to Line Twenty, Word Fourteen. "At once, a needle-sharp pain seared across Harry's scar; his head felt as though it was about to split in two... " Chapter Seventeen, Page 294, Line Twenty-seven, word six to Line Twenty-eight, word four. "Harry's scar was almost blinding him with pain... " These two pieces show that Harry can feel actual pain, which is impossible in a dream. Ok, I spent way too much time to prove that it wasn't all a dream, so if you don't believe me, I will take about as much time to respond. So, thanks for giving me a challenge today.
MajkaSrajka 1. pretty sure a 10-11 year old brain wouldnt be able to make up entire books and read those imaginary books, and also sleeping in a dream.
Usually they're called dream theories- oh yes! They've gotten so may rants in the past! These kinds of theories are usually considered as easy ways out with little evidence, so people simultaneously hate em and (for some reason) love them. I find them rather disappointing unless there's extreme amounts of evidence
I love how Seamus comments on his own video from his other channel and then switches accounts again to reply to himself. Seems like a lot of effort just to keep your identity a secret though... #SeamusIsTheTheorizerConfirmed
I can disprove the Harry potter one. In the first chapter we see Mcgonnagal transforming into a cat and then turning back into a cat before Harry lived with the Dursleys
If people think Harry Potter could dream ALL of that, they must think he has some imagination. Like most people can't even dream in color... so ummmm...
This isn't a theory but.... Ever since I finished reading the Order of the Phoenix I've always wondered why Harry didn't just use the package that Sirius gave him (Sirius said "If you need me, use this, alright" or something like that) instead of going up to the fireplace in Umbridge's office. If he did this, Sirius wouldn't even have died...
@@cliftondaigle7345 No actually, see my source, she didn't think of that after the fact, because he decided never to use it *before* he decided to contact him through the floo network.
@@sofig1237 No he didn't. He decided never to open the package before he actually knew what was inside it. If he had opened the package, then he would have forgot about the mirror, but because he never learned that it was a mirror or what it did because he didn't open it until after the battle in the Ministry, he couldn't have forgotten about it.
I actually thought that's what this video was going to be a rant about. X^D I had never heard the "Nemo doesn't exist and Marlin dreamed him up" theory, so I thought the elaboration on that one was going to be "the barracuda killed Marlin and the rest of the movie's contents were what went through his head before he reached the afterlife."
The Harry Potter theory can be disproved. Because in one of the books the millennium bridge gets destroyed by death eaters and therefore the Primester gets into trouble without Harry even knowing about that...
Nice catch! Now you just have to create some kind of coma/subconscious acquiring of RL news during the prolonged dream and you can yet again go back to "it was all in Harry's head" theory ^^
@@MajkaSrajka You’re really pushing for the “it was all a dream theory”. Calm down. It’s not because there is so much evidence to it not being all planned it Harry’s head.
The way you can disprove any of these theories is if the "dreamer" dreams up anything that couldn't be learned, or dreamt up by just using their already accumulated knowledge. Dreams can only be made up of things that you already know.
I think I know why there are so many ''it's all going on inside their heads'' theories: Every fictional character starts in a bad position, either they've been mistreated or abused, they've been longing for adventure etc... This gives those theories a good and easy excuse: ''the character wanted adventure so he/she imagined one''. It's boring, lazy, and sometimes depressing...
Literally every story could be going on in someone's head, that's exactly where every story comes from. Someone gets the idea and writes the story they thought of in their head.
What if. The aurthor of. Harry potter. Is actually telling a true story and she is actually a wizard and there is a real Hogwarts. And we. Are ablivious to. It because we are mugles.
Ciani Brown there’s actually a theory that J.K. Rowling is Rita Skeeter and is passive-aggressively trying to expose the wizarding world. Probably not true but fun to imagine, you know?
While I agree that all these theories are stupid, sometimes the point of a theory is not to prove that it is what the original author/director had in mind, but more imagine another part of the story that is possible whether or not it is technically "cannon"
hey, seamus can you please make a theory that mrs. noris (harry potter) was filtch's fiancee but she was cursed/ used the wrong potion/ is a stuck animagus/ WHATEVERTHEHECK! anyway, it WOULD explain why he's so grumpy, bc i dont think one can become so bitter from being non-magical (but what do i, a muggle, know anyway?) and why he hates kids (because they were either the reason she was transformed or bc he was never able to have any :C)
MistyPaws also in the goblet of fire film there's a scene where filch is dancing with Mrs Norris and yes it could just be love for his cat but if this was true it would make a lot more sense
exactly! it makes perfect sense! and also why he was so devastated when he thought she was dead in chamber of secrets! and how she helps him patrol the corridors and he treats her like a human. because she WAS one!
You can also disprove the Harry Potter one by pointing to the first chapter of the first book that's not even told from Harry's perspective, yet still shows the wizarding world to be real.
As for the Harry Potter one, even if he did use his imagination to create a very detailed new world where he is a wizard, why would he make a villain and why would his fake loved ones die?? Imagining that a murderous psychotic dark wizard is out to get you for seven years doesn’t sound like a very comforting coping mechanism
I love how in Fantastic Beasts Jacob says that he knows it isn't a dream because he doesn't have enough imagination to come up with half of what he's seeing (i forget the exact quote).
When I was at school we were given a creative writing exercise as a class with the outline of a story and we had to tell it in our own way, and the teacher said that we COULDN'T end it by saying it was all a dream!
Most of them are boring, I'll give you that, but "dream theories" can explain glaring plotholes without having to hastily revamp earlier parts of the story. Time Turners are a good example; Rowling had to use Pottermore to try explaining why Harry and the gang never use time travel for things other than rescuing that mangy quadruped (and Buckbeak of course); for one it's time travel, it solves every problem, but for two it's MAGIC. There is no excuse for why this concept never comes up again, it ends any potential conflict before it begins; if anyone with ANY sense of how powerful that kind of artifact has was using it Voldemort would've been completely destroyed by the fourth book.
Also, I take Latin in school, and the first thing we learned was GOOGLE TRANSLATE CANNOT LATIN. I am not aware of a nominative (subject) noun that has an -o- ending. Nemo probably doesn't mean 'nobody' directly. If I were to go into it, I'd have to get out my dictionary, but essentially, Google Translate would get an F- in Latin. To conclude my rant I would like to assure you that I am stating this in support of this video and ABSOLUTELY agree, like, I cannot express my rage towards these theories. Love your vids! :D
As a writer, I have thought multiple times aput "Hey, if someone made a fan theory about my book, what would it be? What questions haven't I answered?" And something that always pops into my head was "its all in there head" or "they died or smth". A friend even mentioned this once to me, and I must say, I never start off writing, thinking I'm going to end this 30 chp book with "And then, Alex woke up. Alone in his old room." Or "Little did he know this was far, far, from his real and physical life." Or smth like that. But seriously, these theories can be put to anything. You could put these theories to like, I don't know, Winnie the Pooh or something, even things like MLP that defiantly didn't have any intention having to that way.
The thing about these "theories" is I believe that some of them (SOME) could make sense in certain situations. The whole thing about UP I could see as a sort of references or metaphor for death and the afterlife but in reality yes everything DID physically happen. What it does for me is it brings up sort of a more interesting view on movies themselves. Like, does it really matter if they are dreaming or not? It is just a movie. For that matter, why make theories at all. If it isn't explicitly said to the audience than it can't be proven. Again, it is just a movie. I don't really like the "it's just a movie" people because they say that in situations where people are really passionate about movies and passion is not bad. The reason I make this point is that I just find the whole idea to consider that a bit mind blowish and I love thinking about it. Sorry if I contradicted what you said. I just want to continue on the discussion. You are a great TH-camr!
I don't agree with the theory that HP is a "dream" but that is the only one that COULD be true and would be some what interesting, the one I saw on it didn't say it was a dream tho. But that Harry was ACTUALLY sent to an insane asylum, perhaps St Brutus's, that the magical events that happen are all hallucinations. That in the first film/book he is only imagining the envelops and the Dursley's decide to go on holiday to see if it would help... when it doesn't thats when they call the Mental Hospital that send an orderly "Hagrid" to get him, they kept him locked in the cupboard under the stairs for his and their protection..... I still don't believe it but its the only one that COULD be true... personally I think the HP series is a biography the Wizarding World agreed to put out so that the muggles would know the story since we were saved as well... MUCH better theory =)
1) Explanation of magical abilities before Hogwarts are really underwhelming 2) Reasoning behind "why you have to go back to life with Dursleys" argument is really underwhelming 3) HP1-3 - the time when this theory grew strongest and originated from - had little long-term sense, were super fantastic, high on deus-ex machina - both on large scale events and harry's personal issues / the way Hogwart connected with Harry's life situation was also possibly full of deus-ex machina.
My personal theory was that it was all a dream at first and Harry wakes up in the cupboard under the stairs at the age of 10 once again. He’s then sent to check the mail and low and behold, the Hogwarts letter is among them.
I’ve had teachers making these theories when we watched a movie in class. Of course they didn’t present them as theories, but they made them. And then they told us that, if the theory was true, that would make the movie more "deep".
Thank you for debunking that Finding Nemo Theory. I was skeptical about that one from the start , but I wasn't sure if that was just because the theory practically ruined my childhood. Finding Nemo was my favorite movie when I was a little girl. Now that you confirmed that the theory is not true, my childhood is saved.
Happy birthday to Seamus's channel 2 years has this wonderful channel been going on I hope he has a wonderful next year and making videos and wonderful theories ❤️👍😄THANK YOU SEAMUS!!!!
The only "it was all inside their heads" theory I believe is the one about Beast Boy from Teen Titans dreaming everything that happens in Teen Titans Go
Okay so I'm watching this for the third time and I JUST NOTICED YOUR SHIRT, NOT ONLY IS IT VANCE JOY BUT IT'S DREAM YOUR LIFE AWAY WHICH IS SO TOPICAL TO THE VIDEO SEAMUS YOU'RE A GENIUS
Also, all these can be disproved because according to science, you can't dream about someone you've never seen before. I mean, if you even see someone in the mall you can have them in your dream, but I'd guarantee Harry hasn't seen Ron, Hermione, Molly, Fred, George, Ginny, Percy, Bill, Charlie, Arthur, Dumbledore, Aberforth, Neville, Luna, Dean, Lavender, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius, Lupin, James, Snape, Flitwick, and McGonagall all walk down the streets, let alone a part giant like Hagrid, Voldemort, a house-elf like Dobby, etc. I mean, even if he did, the magical world would still exist if he saw a part giant (2 part-giants), and a house elf walking down the street. And WHY DOES HE HAVE A LIGHTNING SCAR THEN? Why is he being raised by his aunt and uncle? How did he end up on top of the roof or growing his hair back while he's at school. And that's JUST THE HARRY POTTER THEORY!! This evidence works for all the other theories as well.
I love Seamus rants because there all me when its 3 am Im sick and hyped up on day quill and am mad about stuff. Or just me on a saturday eachther way its funny to watch
I know I am a bit late on that video, but I just saw it ^^ While I agree on you with the first two theories I must admit I liked the last one about UP a lot when I first read about it. Maybe it is because I work at a retirement home, but I made the experience when old people lose someone they love as much as Carl loved Ellie, they usually follow them in the next few months. So this theory about the film UP showing his journey to the afterlife just came into my head on its own, before I even read about it and when I read it, I liked it a lot and felt agreed with. I think the metaphor for his journey doesn't end at the paradise falls. That is just the point where he discovers his true paradise and ends up in it - having a "son" he can just be proud of and share his life with, like he never could when Ellie was still with him because she actually couldn't get kids. So... I think what you see as "resurrection" I see as his actual paradise - having a loving family. They just didn't add Ellie to it, so kids wouldn't be confused about why Ellie was there again and so don't get the wrong impression, that their dead loved ones will come back EDIT: Really hope you gonna read this even though the video is a few months old and leave your thoughts as a reply :)
Actually you can disprove the HP one, because if one dies in a dream, you immediately wake up because therein has no knowledge of what happens after death.
I remember when the deadly hallows didn't came out and my friend's brother said like "Could you imagine if the last sentence of the franchise is 'and then Harry woke up, lookup up at the spiders on the ceiling of his room under the stairs'" and it fucked me up so much, but then it came out and it ended with "19 years later" and all was good in my life
oh so I’ve been breaking physics got it. (For some reason, I can read Russian in my dreams. It’s always words I haven’t learned yet, but somehow I know them.)
And also you can't know or understand Greek, Latín, French, Hebrew, Germanic, and old English languages in a dream. (i was referencing the part where Rowling come up the HP names and spells in these languages).
Ok but when it comes to the Harry Potter specifically: even if harry did go insane. Harry Potter is EXTREMELY well thought out no one can imagine something so impressive with out putting a bunch of thought into it and at least taking notes. Plus like Seamus said, how can someone have a seven year dream.
Yeah, like you can think of it as a coma but 1st: thats a VERY long coma. 2nd: how would he have even entered that coma? 3rd: Even if he managed to get in there, the Dursley’s would’ve noticed. They aren’t THAT mean.
Dear Seamus , Your videos are funny but still smart.Even though you have not many subscribers I think u should have way more .(I’m from Stoke-on-Trent England)
Want to play a game…
Count how many times I say "theory" or "theories" in this video…

Fantastic Beasts kinda disproves that, because there's no way that Harry dreamt that up as well.
true

Yelilow "omg, Harry, you're dreaming about that eccentric wizard who takes thousands of weird creatures to New York again??"

Yes, but that wasn't Harry's life.
Dumbledore could have existed, even if the majority of the rest wasn't real. Dreams aren't all made up. They have elements of real life. Dumbledore could have been a name of the past.

JK Rowling actually HAS said in an interview with the writer of the movies that it is NOT a dream! She found his theory interesting but disproved it.

The entire first chapter of Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone proves that the series is not a dream.

What is your argument? "Because you cannot have dream in the dream" or other stupid thing like that?
@MrajkaSrajka
Oh wow, a challenge.
Let me get a few sources real quick.
Not going to be from the first chapter but you'll see.
Book One, Chapter Five, page 61, Lines 3-5 and lines 12-15+page 62 lines 1 and half of 2
Lines 3-5
""It was a dream" he told himself firmly." I dreamed a giant called Hagrid came to tell me I was going to a school for wizards. When I open my eyes I'll be at home in my cupboard.""
Lines 12-15 and page 62 lines 1 and half of 2
"He sat up and Hagrid's heavy coat fell off him. The hut was full of sunlight, the storm was over, Hagrid himself was asleep on the collapsed sofa, and there was an owl rapping its claw on the window, a newspaper held in its beak. Harry scrambled to his feet, so happy he felt as though a large balloon was swelling inside him."
Harry is happy that it wasn't a dream when he opened his eyes. If you don't find that to be enough evidence, here.
Chapter Seventeen, Page 294, Line Nineteen, Word Five to Line Twenty, Word Fourteen.
"At once, a needle-sharp pain seared across Harry's scar; his head felt as though it was about to split in two... "
Chapter Seventeen, Page 294, Line Twenty-seven, word six to Line Twenty-eight, word four.
"Harry's scar was almost blinding him with pain... "
These two pieces show that Harry can feel actual pain, which is impossible in a dream.

SEAMUS IS THE BEST HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!!!!!!
When I was at school we were given a creative writing exercise as a class with the outline of a story and we had to tell it in our own way, and the teacher said that we COULDN'T end it by saying it was all a dream!

Most of them are boring, I'll give you that, but "dream theories" can explain glaring plotholes without having to hastily revamp earlier parts of the story.
Time Turners are a good example; Rowling had to use Pottermore to try explaining why Harry and the gang never use time travel for things other than rescuing that mangy quadruped (and Buckbeak of course); for one it's time travel, it solves every problem, but for two it's MAGIC. There is no excuse for why this concept never comes up again, it ends any potential conflict before it begins; if anyone with ANY sense of how powerful that kind of artifact has was using it Voldemort would've been completely destroyed by the fourth book.
But hey that's just a theory a film theory
Just some Guy
Aaaaannnnnnnnnnd cut!
Lol
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd *C U T*
Also, I take Latin in school, and the first thing we learned was GOOGLE TRANSLATE CANNOT LATIN. I am not aware of a nominative (subject) noun that has an -o- ending. Nemo probably doesn't mean 'nobody' directly. If I were to go into it, I'd have to get out my dictionary, but essentially, Google Translate would get an F- in Latin. To conclude my rant I would like to assure you that I am stating this in support of this video and ABSOLUTELY agree, like, I cannot express my rage towards these theories. Love your vids! :D
As a writer, I have thought multiple times aput "Hey, if someone made a fan theory about my book, what would it be? What questions haven't I answered?" And something that always pops into my head was "its all in there head" or "they died or smth". A friend even mentioned this once to me, and I must say, I never start off writing, thinking I'm going to end this 30 chp book with "And then, Alex woke up. Alone in his old room." Or "Little did he know this was far, far, from his real and physical life." Or smth like that. But seriously, these theories can be put to anything. You could put these theories to like, I don't know, Winnie the Pooh or something, even things like MLP that defiantly didn't have any intention having to that way.
Seamus: Fan Theories
Me: PHAN Theories
I'll leave now
No, no, stay.
Pusheen Kitty I'm dead
Pusheen Kitty SAMEEEEE
Pusheen Kitty am I stupid for not getting this?
Star Wars Nerd I don't either
Now I wanna watch an incredibly emotional movie where at the end, the main character wakes up.
That's just a theory, a film l theory!
Angela Yang *matpat voice*
Thanks for reminding me Alex GM
Angela Yang wrong person...
K sorry
Oh, and I know that
Lol I just watched 1 of ur vids from a year and then I watch this 1 from 2 years ago and it's so echoey LMAO!
The thing about these "theories" is I believe that some of them (SOME) could make sense in certain situations. The whole thing about UP I could see as a sort of references or metaphor for death and the afterlife but in reality yes everything DID physically happen. What it does for me is it brings up sort of a more interesting view on movies themselves. Like, does it really matter if they are dreaming or not? It is just a movie. For that matter, why make theories at all. If it isn't explicitly said to the audience than it can't be proven. Again, it is just a movie. I don't really like the "it's just a movie" people because they say that in situations where people are really passionate about movies and passion is not bad. The reason I make this point is that I just find the whole idea to consider that a bit mind blowish and I love thinking about it.
Sorry if I contradicted what you said. I just want to continue on the discussion. You are a great TH-camr!
Seamus Gorman + MatPat + Super Carlin Bros = Awesome Vid.
Seamus Gorman + x = Great vid. {x|a TH-camr mentioned in this post}
I don't agree with the theory that HP is a "dream" but that is the only one that COULD be true and would be some what interesting, the one I saw on it didn't say it was a dream tho. But that Harry was ACTUALLY sent to an insane asylum, perhaps St Brutus's, that the magical events that happen are all hallucinations. That in the first film/book he is only imagining the envelops and the Dursley's decide to go on holiday to see if it would help... when it doesn't thats when they call the Mental Hospital that send an orderly "Hagrid" to get him, they kept him locked in the cupboard under the stairs for his and their protection..... I still don't believe it but its the only one that COULD be true... personally I think the HP series is a biography the Wizarding World agreed to put out so that the muggles would know the story since we were saved as well... MUCH better theory =)
TheRubberDuck77 Actually JK Rowling debunked that theory.
He could not invent that because fantastic beasts was before he was born
1) Explanation of magical abilities before Hogwarts are really underwhelming
2) Reasoning behind "why you have to go back to life with Dursleys" argument is really underwhelming
3) HP1-3 - the time when this theory grew strongest and originated from - had little long-term sense, were super fantastic, high on deus-ex machina - both on large scale events and harry's personal issues / the way Hogwart connected with Harry's life situation was also possibly full of deus-ex machina.
My personal theory was that it was all a dream at first and Harry wakes up in the cupboard under the stairs at the age of 10 once again. He’s then sent to check the mail and low and behold, the Hogwarts letter is among them.
I have a theory. Harry Potter is going on in J.K Rowlings head
Mind blown
I’ve had teachers making these theories when we watched a movie in class. Of course they didn’t present them as theories, but they made them. And then they told us that, if the theory was true, that would make the movie more "deep".
Can you do a theory about Bolt?
Yeeeeeessssss
Ikr?
I love bolt, and it's so underrated
You should do "Who is Penny's father?"
Shaylee O'Loughlin
I agree it is underrated
The entirety of the MCU is inside Tony Stark's head
5:23 BUT THATS JUST A THEORY, A FILM THEORY!!!! AND CUT.
Lol
Thank you for debunking that Finding Nemo Theory. I was skeptical about that one from the start , but I wasn't sure if that was just because the theory practically ruined my childhood. Finding Nemo was my favorite movie when I was a little girl. Now that you confirmed that the theory is not true, my childhood is saved.
Happy birthday to Seamus's channel 2 years has this wonderful channel been going on I hope he has a wonderful next year and making videos and wonderful theories ❤️👍😄THANK YOU SEAMUS!!!!
I feel like all the dream theories are just taking the dream concept from The Wizard of Oz and applying to other movies.
Inside out theory: it was all going on inside Reilly’s head 😂😂
The only "it was all inside their heads" theory I believe is the one about Beast Boy from Teen Titans dreaming everything that happens in Teen Titans Go
Indeed. Do not overgeneralize theories.
#NotAll
grumpy bear What a horrible nightmare!
Okay so I'm watching this for the third time and I JUST NOTICED YOUR SHIRT, NOT ONLY IS IT VANCE JOY BUT IT'S DREAM YOUR LIFE AWAY WHICH IS SO TOPICAL TO THE VIDEO SEAMUS YOU'RE A GENIUS
When you were “pitching Up” I DIED 😂
imagine if at the end of harrry potter it said, “then he woke up.” I WOULD SCREAM
Also, all these can be disproved because according to science, you can't dream about someone you've never seen before. I mean, if you even see someone in the mall you can have them in your dream, but I'd guarantee Harry hasn't seen Ron, Hermione, Molly, Fred, George, Ginny, Percy, Bill, Charlie, Arthur, Dumbledore, Aberforth, Neville, Luna, Dean, Lavender, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius, Lupin, James, Snape, Flitwick, and McGonagall all walk down the streets, let alone a part giant like Hagrid, Voldemort, a house-elf like Dobby, etc. I mean, even if he did, the magical world would still exist if he saw a part giant (2 part-giants), and a house elf walking down the street. And WHY DOES HE HAVE A LIGHTNING SCAR THEN? Why is he being raised by his aunt and uncle? How did he end up on top of the roof or growing his hair back while he's at school. And that's JUST THE HARRY POTTER THEORY!! This evidence works for all the other theories as well.
What do you guys think of the name Muggle for a female dog? Any ideas on how to persuade my brother to like it?
Stormagedon Meh,what does the dog look like?
I love Seamus rants because there all me when its 3 am Im sick and hyped up on day quill and am mad about stuff. Or just me on a saturday eachther way its funny to watch
I love you. The joke on 'Up' at about 7:00 is hilarious. Never stop doing the jokes.
Film and Game Theory reference yes
I have had dreams in dreams but I don't like "it was all a dream" theory's either
Theory:
Inside out was all in Riley’s head.
Yeah, and anger was my favorate character
3:53 you make me feel a lot better because I was really sad when I heard this theory
I know I am a bit late on that video, but I just saw it ^^
While I agree on you with the first two theories I must admit I liked the last one about UP a lot when I first read about it.
Maybe it is because I work at a retirement home, but I made the experience when old people lose someone they love as much as Carl loved Ellie, they usually follow them in the next few months. So this theory about the film UP showing his journey to the afterlife just came into my head on its own, before I even read about it and when I read it, I liked it a lot and felt agreed with.
I think the metaphor for his journey doesn't end at the paradise falls. That is just the point where he discovers his true paradise and ends up in it - having a "son" he can just be proud of and share his life with, like he never could when Ellie was still with him because she actually couldn't get kids. So... I think what you see as "resurrection" I see as his actual paradise - having a loving family. They just didn't add Ellie to it, so kids wouldn't be confused about why Ellie was there again and so don't get the wrong impression, that their dead loved ones will come back
EDIT: Really hope you gonna read this even though the video is a few months old and leave your thoughts as a reply :)
I have a theory:
The entire plot of Inside Out happened inside of Riley’s head.
Bullshit
Bullshit
I AGREE WITH EVERY WORD YOU SAID
Star Lourd
It's lord not lourd
If i could spell it lord i would
Well these are better than "they were dead all along" theories
6Sense stoopid ^^
"But that's just a wait wrong channel." Love the Film Theorists reference XD
Seamus your theories are really good because take the time to research them and then make the connection
What if...the movie Inception was all just a dream...
Slytherin Pride 🐍🖤
Hell yeah
sorry you spelt it wrong its spelt hufflepuff pride
My friend is Slytherin.
Yeah boi
You came from TheBakeey
If I wanted to watch a Pixar movie that takes place in the afterlife, I’d pick Coco
When writing stories at school, one of the first things they tell you is don’t say at the end ‘and then they woke up’
Actually you can disprove the HP one, because if one dies in a dream, you immediately wake up because therein has no knowledge of what happens after death.
Harry also fell in love in a "dream"
And got married
To be fair, in a dream, I saw a couple meet, date, marry and move in with each other, sooo
I love Harry potter
I hate the it's all a dream/it's all going on in their head theorys
I remember when the deadly hallows didn't came out and my friend's brother said like "Could you imagine if the last sentence of the franchise is 'and then Harry woke up, lookup up at the spiders on the ceiling of his room under the stairs'" and it fucked me up so much, but then it came out and it ended with "19 years later" and all was good in my life
Love your videos, and your face ❤️ keep up the quality content man
Woah J.K Rowling hasn't debunked my harry potter theory that harry is a alien caveman super hero so does that mean its true?
Yes
You can't read in a dream so it's false
Tre Whitney you cant??? I read in dreams
oh so I’ve been breaking physics got it.
(For some reason, I can read Russian in my dreams. It’s always words I haven’t learned yet, but somehow I know them.)
You have logical stuff like reading in your dreams?
Benjamin Cooper
Yeah it’s really weird.
And also you can't know or understand Greek, Latín, French, Hebrew, Germanic, and old English languages in a dream. (i was referencing the part where Rowling come up the HP names and spells in these languages).
...
*INCEPTION BWAAAHHH*
BWAH!! ....... BWAH!!....BWAH!!
Ok i’m Done.
Oh wait’s it’s just a dream...
BWAH!!!
Ok but when it comes to the Harry Potter specifically: even if harry did go insane. Harry Potter is EXTREMELY well thought out no one can imagine something so impressive with out putting a bunch of thought into it and at least taking notes. Plus like Seamus said, how can someone have a seven year dream.
Yeah, like you can think of it as a coma but
1st: thats a VERY long coma.
2nd: how would he have even entered that coma?
3rd: Even if he managed to get in there, the Dursley’s would’ve noticed. They aren’t THAT mean.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS AND MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!! I hate people who say these things.
I atually really like the theory that Carl is going through the afterlife.........
Turtles8787 actually
Turtles8787 who's Carl?
Theory Miguel in Coco is just making his journey through the afterlife.
There is a way to disprove the Harry Potter one
When Hagrid, Dumbledor and McGonnagle drop Harry off at number 4 Privitt Drive
