  (#3) 'Super Mario Bros. 3' Is A Stage Play

  Plenty of gamers think Super Mario Bros. 3 is a stage play. Fans of this theory believe the evidence is in the scenery: the obstacles appear to be bolted to the background, like stage props, and the level ends with the character "going off stage" to the right. And, of course, the entire game starts with a curtain raise.

  Series creator Shigeru Miyamoto revealed the fan theory was true during a September 2015 Q&A with the UK Nintendo Twitter account, stating the entire experience is just a performance by the characters.

  (#5) 'The Legend Of Zelda' Has A Split Timeline

  Anyone who has played any game in The Legend of Zelda series knows that almost every entry broadly follows the same outline. While some argue this means the games are simply a re-imagining of the same story being retold throughout different ages, others suggest that every title links together through a complex timeline.

  The theory details how the games take place over three separate timelines that split according to how the ending of each game is resolved. In 2011, Nintendo released the Hyrule Historia, a book that paints a detailed history of the series and the in-game universe. In it, the full timeline for the franchise was revealed for the first time, officially confirming that there is a split timeline.

  (#8) Deckard is A Replicant in 'Blade Runner'

  Ever since Blade Runner was first released, fans have contended that the protagonist, Rick Deckard, is actually a replicant himself. These theorists point to various pieces of evidence, including the origami unicorns left behind for him after he has a dream about the creature.

  While Deckard actor Harrison Ford might not agree, director Ridley Scott has gone on record a number of times saying he believes Deckard is a replicant. In 2017, the director once again let his position on the matter be known, albeit in a more roundabout manner:

  Tyrell is a trillionaire, maybe 5 to 10% of his business is AI. Like God, he has created perfect beings that, for all intents and purposes, there is no telling the difference from humans. Then he says, “You know what? I’m going to create an AI. I’ll have a male and female, they will not know that they’re both AIs, I’ll have them meet each other, they will fall in love, they will consummate, and they will have a child.” That’s the first film.

  (#12) The Shipwrecked Parents In 'Frozen' Wind Up In 'Tarzan' 

  Frozen co-director Chris Buck caused something of a stir when he suggested during a Q&A on Reddit that the film was linked with another Disney movie he had directed. According to Buck, Frozen and Tarzan both share some characters. Elsa and Anna's parents, who are revealed to have died in a shipwreck, may have actually survived and landed on a jungle island along with their young son. Buck told MTV:

  Of course Anna and Elsa's parents didn't die. Yes, there was a shipwreck, but they were at sea a little bit longer than we think they were because the mother was pregnant, and she gave birth on the boat, to a little boy. They get shipwrecked, and somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. They end up building a tree house and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas. So in my little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan.

  (#9) Dumbledore From 'Harry Potter' Is Gay

  Few franchises are as popular as Harry Potter; it's not surprising there are hundreds of fan theories about the series. One of the leading ideas is that Dumbledore might be gay. Very little is known about his past, other than the fact he had a close and deep friendship with Gellert Grindelwald. Some felt the relationship may have been more than strictly platonic. 

  As part of a book tour in 2007, J.K. Rowling confirmed Dumbledore is gay, revealing the wizard fell in love with Grindelwald. She even removed a reference to Dumbledore's past female loves from the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

  (#4) A Scene From 'The Wolverine' Foreshadows The Ending Of 'Logan'

  After seeing Logan for the first time, some fans came out of the cinema with a sneaky feeling Logan's demise had already been referenced in a previous film. In The Wolverine, Yukio tells Logan she has seen his death: he will die on his back, with blood everywhere, and says he will be "holding [his] own heart in [his] hand.”

  The fan theory contended that this was not a reference to something in the first film, but rather a foretelling of how he ultimately dies in Logan. He dies while holding his "heart," which is really the hand of his daughter, Laura. Director James Mangold confirmed this was the case directly to a fan on Twitter in March 2017.
