But then his age keeps fluctuating because of the different actors. I prefer to just think of the series as taking place in "comic book time," like how Archie and Jughead have been in high school for seventy years, or how the Fantastic Four are hardly any older now than when they met Richard Nixon. Comic book time is one thing, I'd buy that for the previous Bond series, but there's still a problem if comic books don't reboot or retcon the story when a huge plothole is introduced, which is what they did with Bond. The Craig Bond just has too many plotholes opened up by being in the same continuity, not related at all to the production of the movie (USSR, M, a second introduction to SPECTRE), so he has to be to the other Bond's what the Nolan Batman was to the Burton Batman. Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I'm not trying to persuade you that I'm right and you're wrong by any means. All I'm saying is that for me personally, I can dismiss the USSR existing for Connery and Moore but not for Craig just as easily as I dismiss Reed Richards and Ben Grimm being WWII veterans who tried to beat the Commies to the moon 7 years ago. Broad strokes, as I said.

Gandalf was planning to fly those giant eagles into Mordor the whole time, before he died in the dwarf mines. Just no one except him knew that was the plan, so when they escape the mines they just......make the whole ordeal more difficult for themselves. Hell, his last words before falling were " Fly, you fools." The little girl (Emily) who owned Jessie in Toy Story's past was Andy's mom. Only unlike Andy, Emily.......just forgot about her doll over time. And one I just heard recently: the sunken ship that Ariel hangs around & is fascinated by in The Little Mermaid is the ship Elsa and Anna's parents died on in the opening of Frozen. Because along the way, people wondering about Frozen and Tangled being in the same universe (Rapunzel and Flynn moreorless ARE in Frozen for a quick cameo) decided "Well, Germany and Norway are a fairly quick boat ride away" and then realized "Hey, Denmark is in between them.......Little Mermaid is a Danish fairy tale.....that ship in Little Mermaid........ "

The Blues Brothers was all a dream of Jakes.
In Ready To Rumble everybody was dead & in Purgatory.
Deep Blue Sea was a fantasy of Quint from Jaws right before he died.
In the Bond movies "M" is a codename used by more than one person.
The 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a coma fantasy of a Foot Clan recruit who fell down the sewer.
In The Sixth Sense, Bruce Willis is alive, but everyone else in his world was replaced by Robots

Quint wanted to go alone on the expedition to kill Jaws because he knew he was going to die.
That's why he resisted bringing Brody and Hooper along.

Tommy Westphal, and thus every other TV show in the universe including real life, was actually a fantasy made by a snowglobe in the few short moments before it hit the ground and smashed into pieces of being used as it was sitting on a shelf at Dollar Tree about being purchased by a family that grazed the shelf and caused it.

Some of these fan theories are totally blowing away my preconceived notions about the James Bond franchise....Well, I actually never saw the films. But I did watch the cartoon James Bond Jr., damn it who is that boy's uncle?!

All of Tarantino's films take place in an alternate timeline created by the events of Inglorious Basterds. I've always been intrigued by this theory (since I'm a fan of alternate history). But has this theory ever been updated ever since "Django Unchained" was released? Not saying it's no longer true. However, a turning point in 1945 where Jewish soldiers assassinate Hitler and the Nazi leadership at a movie premier is much easier to connect with the rest of the Tarantino movies (cultural impact in which film is more prominent in everyday culture; certain characters being connected as descendants of "Inglorious Basterds" characters, etc.). But this theory needs to be updated, since Django Unchained takes place well before any other Tarantino movie. Have there been any fan attempts to explain that maybe the real creation of this alternate history was an escaped slave becoming a bounty hunter and shooting up an Alabama plantation in 1858? Are there obvious connections between characters in "Django" and those in other Tarantino films?

I have a TV one I like.
In Power Rangers, Rita Repulsa (season one main villain) sniped Scorpina from Dai Shi (Jungle Fury -- season 16 -- main villain).
Both seasons have the backstory 10,000 years ago, and Scorpina would turn into a scorpion creature when Rita made her grow, when the villains having an animal form as a big part of Jungle Fury's enemies. And when Rita called on Scorpina, she was already on Earth, as was Dai Shi's forces.

kids are part of Wonka's candy Was mentioned in a Seltzer/Friedberg movie, so not valid ;-) Not a movie, but that the Flintstones aren't really prehistoric, but are results of post-apocalyptic fallout and/or are what live on the ground in the Jetsons' universe. This comes up this time of year, cause this is why they know about Christmas, among other things. My theory that Halle Berry = Eartha Kitt's version of Catwoman (while Selina would be Julie Newmar/Lee Meriwether, of course). Hey I was desperate to make some kind of sense out of that...thing. The Muppet Babies are abused children who use their fantasies to escape reality.

Whoosh territory, but the snowglobe was in the Westphall house. But yes, the Tommy Westphall Multiverse. Just THAT. (since it happened after the last scene, did this really exist too? www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCSszVNqwh0 ) The reason you didn't see most of Soundwave's cassettes in the post-movie season was because of the end of Carnage in C-Minor, where Blaster erases his recordings of the magic melody. In effect, he lobotomized Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw...note that the birds do not appear in Call of the Primitives, but Ravage, Ratbat, and the dinosaurs do (Ravage isn't seen by the end of that episode, so sadly he must have been killed in duty).

Since we're including TV shows as well:
The parents in "Rugrats" are all swingers. That's why they're always over at each others' houses, yet constantly leave their children unattended.
There are never any monsters or supernatural instances in Courage the Cowardly Dog. The entire show depicts real, everyday life, as depicted from a dumb little dog's worldview. Courage is just a regular little dog who is loyal, devoted to his owners, doesn't get out much (because his owners are too old to take him for a walk), and is afraid of anything that's unfamiliar. That's why Eustace and Muriel don't seem to realize the "danger" they're in; they just see the mailman coming to the door, or a neighbor borrowing a cup of sugar, or Eustace sneezing, or the toaster going off, or whatever. But Courage thinks that these things are horrible ghosts and monsters, and so he freaks out and thinks that he needs to "rescue" his owners.
(I think that the latter one actually ended up being the creators' explicit intent. Nonetheless, it totally went over my head when I watched the show as a kid. Ever since I heard about this interpretation, the show just became that much more awesome to me, as a dog owner).

Hell, his last words before falling were " Fly, you fools." Uh, he says "Run, you fools." James Bond looking different depending on actor is easily explained. He just had cosmetic surgery because he was being recognized. As to why he kept the same name, well, you see...Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

If he was going with fly Gandalf you are implying that Gandalf is incredibly stupid. Given that this is what they are hiding from that has these under his command not getting into the whole Giant Eagles are sentient and could tell them to go f themselves or try and take the ring for themselves or any of the other problems...
