Have you ever seen a theory that you felt is just wrong and you hate it

snowy is the knight

My god your RIGHT

Rudy.,..... is not the knight lol I have a friend who's really into that theory and i just,,,, don't think it's correct lol

i just legit don't understand "papyrus is the knight" believers. i just can't.

I hate practically all classpecting (other than like self-inserts/sonas/etc) that isn't from a narrative role perspective. It's just taking the meta basis out of it.

^ This is in the deltarune forum I think lol T_T

But still valid. As for Deltarune I am not a big fan of "Carol is the Knight". I think its just pointing to it being Dess, however I do think Dess and the Knight are working together in a way which explains why Carol is so sus.

@elegantSpintress This forum I made is for "any media" dw. Yeah I mentioned Deltarune, but that was just an example I used. I allow other fandoms theories because I am curious :]c

ohh okay lol i just couldn't read what thread this was in T_T but yeah I just don't think carol is the knight. I don't have any homestuck theories I really disagree with all that much.

"Have you ever seen a theory that you felt is just wrong and you hate it"

Pal that sums up so many experiences with fandom.

Let's just list a few things.

AWFUL, AWFUL THEORIES, I WANT TO BLEACH MY BRAIN

- Kaworu in Neon Genesis Evangelion does not really love Shinji, people are just "misinterpreting" that he's expressing the love God feels for all creation

- The Engineers in Alien/Prometheus are not the Space Jockey species, they just got inspiration from their technology and morphology

- Ancient vampires in Legacy of Kain have 3 fingers on each hand and 2 toes on each feet because (3x2) + (2x2) = 10, 10 being the number of the Pillars + the Reaver

@elegant.... thank you. I clicked on this from recent threads and had no idea... I was wondering why there would be Deltarune spoilers on a Classpecting discourse thread LMAOOOOOOOO

@sword Sorry for any confusion! This is supposed to be a general discussion for media. So that means you're not wrong for bringing up classpects! Heck, I mentioned it in the post first lol! So you can continue if you wish! Since it falls under my subject "Have you ever seen a theory that you felt is just wrong."

And if you have any other theories from different fandoms youre in that you dont agree with, you are free to mention them too! Like I said before, I am curious about things, even if I dont understand fully what people talk about lol. I also wanna see how many people feel this same gut reaction as I do.

^___^

my thory is tha t gasleak : (

Oh no!!!

Would also like to add something that will seem contrary to the spirit of the thread, but I don't think it is.

Outside of a few MINDBLOWING bad reads I generally don't react to, I think absolutely bad analysis is almost not a thing.

By that, I mean that even the most "absurd" hypotheses can be interesting. They can be creative. Sometimes they evolve into works of their own.

Also the most off-topic angles can provide the most fascinating results. Because when you're approaching a work transversally, for example analyzing the TV mise-en-scène of a soccer game through the prism of class struggle and syndicalism, Titanic through the repeated visual patterns observed in philately, or Jurassic Park through the prism of Muslim mythology, you're creating a GIGANTIC CROSS-SECTION OF THE WORK. And with this cross-section, you will unexpectingly discover a lot of elements, you will unearth symbols and dynamics no one has paid attention to before.

So generally speaking, I don't tend to speak badly of batshit, or simply seemingly unfitting, theories. Because I like the kind of perspectives they bring.
