10 Fan Theories That Make Comedies Really Depressing

10. Grease – Sandy Drowns At The Start

Hold on to your hats Grease fans because everything you thought you knew about your favourite feelgood musical is about to get rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong-ed.

One point of conversation since the beloved musical was released is just what on Earth that flying convertible scene at the end is all about. Even in a film where people spontaneously burst into song and dance every ten minutes the flying car finale seems a tad outlandish and this fan theory has a perfect but very depressing explanation as to why it’s there at all.

Apparently, Sandy never made it to Rydell High School but rather drowned at the beach sometime shortly after she first met Danny. Everything we see after Grease’s opening scene is a vivid coma dream cooked up by Sandy’s oxygen deprived brain while the car flying off heavenwards at the end is symbolic of Sandy’s death as she succumbs to her coma.
