Oh, we've all done it — we've all arm-chair-written our favorite shows and thought: wow, I'm a genius, way better than those writers!
I'm here to tell you that writing scripts is hard and writing scripts that get produced is harder and getting them all approved for shooting and airing is nigh impossible, but it's still fun to speculate, so let's go!
u/TexAg_18 asked Reddit:
"What theory/speculation ended up being better than the canon plot?"
And we rounded up some of the best answers.
1. Hot Fuzz
That farmer Webley from Hot Fuzz was originally going to take out the Neighbourhood watch but got too old. He lived next to the other farmer and deliberately cut his hedge to get Nicolas Angels attention so he could arm him. He armed the Neighbourhood watch aswell and had a crisis of conscious. Been meaning to write a thing about it.
2. Blair Witch Project
I really love the Blair Witch Project theory that Mike and Josh exploited the fact that Heather wanted to make the documentary and used it to lure her deep into the forest to murder her. To be honest, BWP was left very open to interpretation which I’ve always loved about it.
But I believe one of the creators confirmed that it was in fact the witch who caused a time loop which the three entered into — something made even more canon with the rubbish 2016 sequel which actually showed the Witch.
3. Superman
Lex Luthor becomes Dr. Leo Quintum in the future of "All-Star Superman." The man who spends his life trying to kill Superman spends another lifetime trying to build a better one. It's beautiful. But just a speculation, as said by the author.
4. Poppins & Pennywise
Mary Poppins belongs to the same species as It Pennywise the clown. One feeds off children's fear, one feeds of childrens happiness. Both appears once every couple of decades, have almost godlike powers, and both seem to have a thing for floating (umbrella/balloons) On a final note, all the kids who encountered these 2 beings and survived ended up losing their memories of them as they grow up.
5. Doctor Who
Back in Eleven era Doctor Who there was a fan theory that Rory was secretly the Master, based on a throwaway line where he complained about hearing a "banging" noise in his head, and a split-second shot of his ID card where the birth date was way off. He wasn't, but how cool would that have been?
6. Star Wars
I always liked the one about Chewbacca being a rebel spy, with Han being Chewy’s cover. As smugglers, they would be in all the seedy corners of the galaxy, where Chewy could network, make contacts and keep an eye out (like talk of super weapons). Steering Han to take jobs that served dual purposes. Han never being the wiser but always indirectly helping the rebellion.
With R2 and Obi showing up at the cantina and Chewy knowing of them, he makes sure they cross paths and Han takes the job. The rest is history.
Obviously there are holes, especially after Solo came out. But I enjoy the head canon.
7. Matrix
That the real world was another level of the Matrix which would have explained why Neo had superpowers there.
8. Joker
There was a theory that Jared Leto's Joker in the DCEU was actually Robin who had been injured and almost killed by the real Joker, who then went mad and took on the Joker's identity.
It would explain so much as to why the Joker is so different and allows Leto's Joker be it's own thing, instead of of what we actually got.
9. Zootopia
From Zootopia This one is about the sloths from DMV, and how them being slow as hell is just one big prank they pull on everyone, and that Nick the Fox knows this, which is why he enjoys it immensely to see Judy so frustrated about it.
2 things that made me (hope) this is how it was is: When they finish getting the plate number checked at DMV, as they leave, Nick (who is sly with his cons and tricks) says to Flash "Thanks for the hustle." or something along those lines.
At the end, Flash the sloth is caught by Judy and Nick for speeding at 115 Mph (185 Kph) which, quite frankly, someone with. 15 to 30 second reaction time just couldn't do.
10. Game of Thrones
Arya killing Jaime and wearing his face to assassinate Cersei in GOT.
