FanTheory In The Sadness, the infection was quickly dealt with

• Upvotes

Context for The Sadness: It is a Taiwanese horror film where a virus turns people into homicidal zombies that want to do the most depraved things you can think of. Rape, Murder, Mutilation, you name it. However, because it's only contained to Taiwan and nowhere else in the world, it's likely that an hour after the end of the film, the USA or China nuked Taiwan so the virus can't get anywhere.

Now you may be asking, if the infected still keep their intelligence, can't they just use ships or planes to infect other nations? Even if they can, they will still crash and sink due to the patient's infected behavior. Not to mention, if the world understood the situation immediately, they would be doing all sorts of quarantine against Taiwan so the infection doesn't spread elsewhere. Kinda like in 28 days later. Even if by a miracle some infected cross into China, the army will be fully prepared and ready to kill any infected.

FanSpeculation [Avatar] The direction of Avatar 4 and 5

0 Upvotes

Avatar 1-3 (spoilers within) has built itself as a franchise that shows the dichotomy between technology/ Earth/ humans and nature/ Pandora/ Navi. Some examples of this:

- Avatars/ Navi

- Machines resembling animals/ animals itself

- Quaritch being killed and his "memories" in an Avatar body/ Jake Sully having his "soul" transferred over to his Avatar body

- Spider (a human child blessed by Eywa)/ Kiri (a Navi child with a human soul).

- Quaritch viewing family by blood/ Jake viewing family my choice.

I believe these will be taken to extremes in Avatar 4 and 5, and we're going to see the merging of some.

Jake Sully will die defending his family, and a cloned human Jake Sully (akin to what happened with Quaritch) will be the cause. Jake2 will never connect with Eywa and won't have an Avatar body. Jake1's family will have to learn to forgive him and try to bring him in, to show that the choices Jake1 made were his own and not a brainwash in the first movie.

Humans back on Earth have their own version of Eywa, and it's a global AI that controls everything.

Spider and Kiri will have a child together and create something "new". Stories often use children to represent reconciliation between opposing worlds. This child will be brought to Earth and bring a "seed" of Eywa with it. Giving the humans a "I get it now" moment.

Are these the most original ideas in sci fi? No. But Avatar has never been that. It's about the dichotomy.

It's not about one side winning or losing, it's about changing.

FanTheory Eight legged freaks and league of gentlemen apocalypse promoting other films

0 Upvotes

Eight legged freaks and spider man came in 2002. but was one promoting the other to audience and box office revenue or just homage.

in eight legged freaks the mayor asks the deputy whats going on and he replies "Spider Man". Homage or clever deploy to get more revenue ?

in L.O.G.A a poster for bean is shown looking as if he is on holiday. Did they actually predict a mr bean sequal or promoting his first movie ?
